Hey look whose posting again, that would be me by the way. I have finished with my exams and am back again. Good news I pasted all my exams. Yay former. Although it may take me a few weeks to break back into the posting habit. Either way I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Kyo smirked, before bending down and putting his face closer to hers. "Tell me," he said before moving one hand down and tickling Haruhi in the sides. She began to giggle and lifted a hand to her one outs to stop it but it was to much. Her laughter became more frantic and she begun to try and move Kyo off, but she was to tired to be able to. Shigure and Tohru laughed at the seen, Yuki just smirked knowingly before laughing a little himself. It was indeed a funny a seen.

"Kyo stop!" Haruhi pleaded in, between laughs. But neither the less he did for a few more minutes before breaking away laughing.

"You should get some sleep Haruhi," Yuki said.

"I will walk you up," Tohru said before they made there way towards the stairs.

They walked into the room in silence, Tohru not quite sure what to say and Haruhi was just in daze. As they walked over to the bed Haruhi lied down and once again made herself comfy. Tohru was about to walk away when she stop her self, mustering up the courage to talk to her.

"Haruhi, what were Yuki and Kyo like when they were younger?" She asked.

Haruhi snapped her head towards Tohru before beckoning her back over to sit down. Tohru sat, placing her hands in her lap, while Haruhi adjusted her position so they could talk face to face. "Well," Haruhi placed a finger on her chin in thought before a large smile split across her face. "Yuki-nii was a bit shy and didn't know how to talk to people, that always resulted in him being overprotective of me. While Kyo was cold but a show off and he always thought that he was better then everyone even when he wasn't. I remember one time when we were five Kyo and I were having a water fight when Yuki came looking for me and Kyo challenged him a to a fight. It didn't go to well." Haruhi laughed at the memory. "What about you Tohru?" Tohru looked at the girl in confusion.

"What about me?"

"I mean what were you like when you were younger?"

"Hmm… I loved my mama and I loved stories. I was very shy though," once again Haruhi laughed.

"Well you seem very ordinary to me and yet you fit in here. It's strange really." At that Tohru laughed and soon they had broken into a fit of laughter.

"So Tohru serious question."

"Go ahead." She answered, calming.

"How do you feel about a certain silver haired rat?" She asked a tone of innocence in eater voice.

Tohru looked startled blushing pink almost instantly. "Um, he's amazing," she said not trying to reveal her true feelings.

"Hah so it is true!" Haruhi exclaimed swinging her legs from under the blanket so they were crossed.

"What?"

"You like him! You like that silver haired brother of mine!" Tohru flushed even more causing a large smile to spread across Haruhi's face.

"I don't," Tohru said loudly.

"Than why are you blushing?"

"Because it was a sudden question." She persisted, but it just made Haruhi laughed.

"You can trust me. I will help you with him if you want?" Haruhi really just wanted her to admit it already.

"Fine," Tohru said at a whisper. "I admit it."

"What?" Haruhi teased putting a hand around her ear.

"I admit it. I like him!" She shouted, before covering her now red face in her hands.

"I knew it, well you should tell him."

"What?" Tohru looked shocked.

"Well you should tell him. That way he knows your true feelings and if he likes you back then you become a couple, if he doesn't nothing changes." And I already got him to admit his feelings. Piece of cake. Haruhi thought resisting the urge to rub her hands together evilly.

"Is that a good idea?" She asked.

"How is he meant to know if you don't tell him?" Haruhi said a smirk on her face. "Yuki is really dumb after all."

"I will, but only of you tell me who you like?" Tohru said nearly loosing the nerve at the last minute. She didn't like black male but she was interested in finding out.

Haruhi flushed, "Can you keep a secret?" Tohru nodded. "Because if anyone were to find out he could get badly hurt."

"I can keep a secret." Tohru said, "Mama used to say its bad to tell others things that aren't yours to tell people, and that's what secrets are after all."

"Ok," Haruhi hesitated. "I like… Kyo," he face turning a deep crimson as she said it, suddenly finding something very interesting with her hands.

"Does he know?" Haruhi nodded. "Then does he?" Again Haruhi nodded.

"We're together, but if anyone were to find out we could get badly hurt. You saw my back right?" Tohru nodded. "Akito did that a proof that I would never find someone to love me because I am a monster."

"Your not a monster!" Tohru insisted grabbing one of her hands.

"I am, my soul took hold of this body when it was in the womb of huge woman I call my mother. She too thought I was a monster, the same as my father. Neither wanted to look at me, there third child, the monster." Haruhi said with out a tear. But to her surprise as she looked up into the eyes of the girl before her she found tears. Tohru was crying for her, no one had cried for before. Yuki, Ayame, even Kyo. None of them had ever cried for her before, because they knew the pain and they excepted it just as she had. But the next thing that happened confused Haruhi. She was pulled into a hug, it wasn't demanding or fierce it was gentle and warm. It made her feel at home with herself.

"You aren't a monster Haruhi," Tohru said with a smile, the tears before fading.

"Maybe not," Haruhi laughed and she didn't know why but Tohru laughed as well. "Either way let's talk about something less depressing."

"What would that be Haruhi?" Tohru asked.

"How long have you known that you liked Yuki-nii?" Tohru blushed again.

"A few months," she whispered, causing another laugh from Haruhi. "What about you?" She asked innocently.

Haruhi leaned forward resting her chin on her hands and said, "Four years." She looked to be in a daze, a serene smile on her face and her eyes seemingly someone else. Tohru giggled a bit.

"You to do look cute together." She said.

"That one of the nicest things I have ever been told." Haruhi said snapping back to the real world. "You're the first female friend I have made in a long time, but I think I should get some sleep."

Tohru stood to leave and with a quick goodnight Haruhi lied down in bed, sleep already taking over.

Same time down stairs.

As the girls disappeared up the stairs, Yuki and Kyo shared a sigh before scrolling at each other.

"Stupid rat," Kyo mumbled under his breath. Shigure stood and announced he was leaving to go to sleep and left the two sitting at the table.

After an awkward minute of silence Yuki spoke up. "If you out do anything to Haruhi, I will personally slaughter you." Yuki looked over at Kyo who was now facing him and gave him a glare that could kill.

Kyo nearly fell out of his is seat, "Man Yuki can be scary sometimes" he thought. "Don't worry, I wouldn't do anything to her." He said.

"Good, If you out make her cry one more time…" Yuki's voice trailed off and quite frankly Kyo didn't want him to finish that sentence. They both really hated seeing Haruhi cry after all.

"What about you and Tohru?" Kyo asked, he loved Haruhi, but he thought of Tohru as his sister.

A pink hue tinged Yuki's cheeks. "What about us?" He asked trying to sound innocent.

"Well you love her don't ya," Kyo said as more of a statement than a question.

Yuki's blush deepened. "What ever gave you that impression dumb cat?" Said teen asked.

"The way you act around her," Kyo wasn't really thinking about what he was saying anymore. "She has feelings for you as well, but Tohru's not very good at expressing it without making it awkward. You should know that best of all."

"Whatever," Yuki said crossing his arms. "Since when did you and Haruhi become love experts," he muttered under his breath. But Kyo heard him and decided it would be a perfect opportunity for some pay back after many years of annoyance from the stupid cat.

"Well if Haruhi said it then you know it's true," Kyo begun smirking evilly as Yuki sighed knowing what was coming. "After all she has never been wrong, has she?"

"Well no, but that doesn't change anything you stupid…"

Yuki was cut off by Kyo's obnoxious laughter and him saying, "well it is pretty obvious. I mean even Ayame could tell and that's just sad, you out are such a bad actor. But then again," Kyo laughed a little, "it's hard to hide love isn't it Yuki?"

Yuki turned red, a dark crimson red. He couldn't believe it. He had just been bested by Kyo, the stupid that always challenged him for no apparent reason and he had even back it up with undeniable facts. Not only the subject that they were talking about was one that Yuki never intended to talk to Kyo about, nor anyone for that matter. The white haired teen quickly stood and went to leave the room having no come back for Kyo. To this Kyo simply laughed, it was just way to funny not to after all. For once in his is I life he had bested the rat, the mean and obnoxious rat that ruined his whole life. It was truly on of the best moments in his is life, next to Haruhi excepting him that is.
