Chapter Two

Yuki scrunged up his nose in disgust as he walked entered the dark house. The moonlight was the only thing he could see by as he slipped into some slippers. The smell of ashes and tobacco got stronger as he entered the kitchen.

"You know, you hurt Tohru-kun's feelings earlier." Came a voice from in the darkness.

The silvery haired teen stopped short in his tracks and his dark purple eyes turned to stare at the shadowed figure of his older cousin, Shigure, "And don't you know that smoking is bad for you? It could cause you lung cancer. Or worse, death." The nezumi replied, waving away the silvery vapor that rose from Shigure's cigarette.

Shigure chuckled sadly before blowing out more silvery vapor into the air, "But seriously, Yuki-kun, Tohru-kun was so hurt at your sudden coldness towards her."

Yuki looked away, blinking back tears that were threatning to show, "I just didn't know what to make of it . . . I didn't mean to hurt her . . . And I didn't even get a chance to tell her that I loved her . . . "

"Well, that was no way to treat her. Just because she's with Kyo, doesn't mean she doesn't love you. I think she loved you as a brother . . . " The dark haired Inu replied, putting a cup of sake to his lips, "But I think I know why you ran away."

His eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at Shigure in the darkness, "If it's about losing to that baka neko, you're wrong!"

Shigure sweatdropped, "I was thinking that, but-" Before he could finish, Yuki had stormed out of the room, leaving him alone with the quiet darkness, "Ok, be in denial . . . " He sighed, smoking some more.


Tohru hummed happily as she went about the kitchen, preparing breakfast, which were leeks, riceballs, and some other stuff Shigure had asked to be made. Strong arms went around her waist, forcing her to gasp slightly in surprise as teeth nipped gently at her ear.

"Kyo . . . " She whispered.

"There aren't any leeks in there, is there?" Kyo nipped her ear again, drawing as close as he dared as he scrunged his nose up in disgust at the smell of the soft onions.

Tohru giggled and turned to place a kiss on his nose, "Gomen, Neko-chan, it was Shigure's turn to choose what we'd be having for lunch and he chose leeks, pickled radish and curry, miso soup, and rice balls."

Kyo stuck his tongue out, scrunging up his face, "I hate that damn inu sometimes," He said, "but you know what I want for lunch?" He whispered, leaning his face closer to hers.

A small giggle escaped her lips again as she put her arms around her neko's neck, "What?"

"You . . . Baka onigiri . . . " Kyo whispered, playfully nipping at her lips.

Tohru kissed him, stroking his orange hair, "Kyo, I have to . . . cook breakfast. I promise though, I'll fix you a different dish."

"Don't." Kyo replied, pulling away, a smile on his face slightly tanned face, "I'll put up with eating those nasty foods for today."

Tohru nodded with a heartwarming smile and kissed him once more, "Ok." She turned back to cooking with Kyo's arm still around her.

"Ohayo, Honda-san." Came a soft voice, making Kyo growl slightly, protectively holding Tohru closer.

Tohru's turquoise eyes lit up and she turned her head to look at Yuki in the doorway, "Yuki-kun, o-ohayo! Are you . . . feeling better?"

Kyo rolled his eyes, which earned a glare from the pale nezumi. Yuki nodded as he approached them.

"Hai, I am, Honda-san. And I'm sorry for last night." Kyo's rival said, staring at her.

"Yuki . . . I understand what happened . . . " Tohru whispered, smiling at him.

The onigiri pulled away from Kyo and hugged Yuki. A cloud of purplish smoke appeared as there was 'poofing' sound. In Tohru's hands was what once was Yuki. A small, light purple rat was in her hands. The brown haired girl kissed Yuki's mouse-like nose, holding him close.

"I still need you, Yuki-kun . . . To be there for me like a brother." She said.

Yuki's purple eyes widened and he stared up at her, "Honda-san?"

Tohru held the small rat close, "You're like a brother to me, Yuki-kun . . . "

Kyo crossed his arms, "Damn rat . . . " He muttered.

"I can still be Honda-san's brother, you baka neko!" Yuki glared at his rival as he changed back, making Tohru squeal at his naked form.

"So, what!" Kyo yelled, glaring back at him.

Soon the two broke out into an arguement, insulting each other. Tohru sweatdropped, looking away.

"Ano . . . Yuki-kun . . . Your clothes . . . " She managed to say, blushing fiercely.

Yuki's eyes widened more and he quickly pulled his clothes back on, his snow white skin turning pink, "Gomen . . . "

Tohru giggled and squeezed his hand, "Do you have another meeting with the student council?" She asked.

"Hai." Yuki nodded, "I won't be able have breakfast today. But save some when I get back." The nezumi walked back out.

"That damn rat interrupted our moment . . . " Kyo pouted, fuming as he glared after the other Sohma.

"Kyo . . . " Tohru giggled once more and kissed him, "He didn't mean too." She said.

"Whatever . . . " Kyo replied, looking away, blushing now.

'cause you're mine
That's all i need to know
The sunshine's everywhere we go
It's so right cause i've got you to hold
Every night yeah
