Closer

Chapter II

A few minutes later

Tohru headed back to the kitchen, to finish her breakfast preparations.

"Let's see… I still need to make up the eggs, but all the stuffing's are done so that won't take long, and…wait, what's that smell?"

She, by now, had managed to make her way to the kitchens entrance. Peering inside, she saw Kyo. He was setting plates onto he table, getting it ready for the food. She then realised that the smell was of cooked eggs, and that Kyo had finished making the breakfast for her.

"K-kyo-kun!" Tohru said in surprised.

"Huh?" Kyo said, looking up at Tohru, wondering when she had gotten there and 'what the heck was wrong with her'.

"Thank you for your help!" Tohru said smiling.

Wha-oh…I, uh…" Kyo said, blushing, trying to think of cover-up for his kindness. "I-I wasn't sure how long you were gonna be with that damn rat, andI-" Kyo tried to start.

"Oh! Breakfast is ready, I see!" Came the cheerful voice of Shigure, having smelt the finished meal.

"Yes! I was just about to tell you." Tohru said smiling.

"Omelette! It looks delicious! Just like all of your lovely meals Tohru!"

" Actually Kyo-san made most of this!" She said smiling"

"Oh? I hope it's not poisoned…"

"Why you…" Kyo said, anger meter rising.

But Shigure continued. "But I'm sure anything you make for Tohru was made extra carefully. Ah…young love…"

"WHAT! SHUT UP! IT'S NOT LIKE-" Kyo started, angewr meter boiling over, fits clenched.

"Mmm! What's in the stuffing Tohru?" Shigure said, totally ignoring Kyo's furry.

"I'm gonna kill that guy someday…"

Tohru stood up a few minutes later, plate in nhand, and headed over to the sink.

"I'm going out for a bit today, but I should be back intime to make lunch." Tohru said

"Oh? Are you going out with Ou-chan?"

"No. I'm going to have a look aroung the property. There's a load of laundry in the washer. I'll take care of it when I get back. Tohru continued. She then stopped, giving a horror struck face.

"What's your problem?" Kyo asked.

"T-that's okay, right? I'm so sorry! I forgot to ask!"

"That's fine." Shigure said, chuckling a little. "It's a bit dangerous though, maybe you could drag little Kyo there with you."

"Excuse me? You can't just volunteer me!" Kyo said, aggravated.

Oh? Would you come with me, Kyo-san? It'd be fun!" Tohru exclaimed, excited.

"…"
