A loud crunching noise echoed through the woods and a tree snapped in half falling to the forest floor. Kyo didn't even feel the pain from his bleeding hand, he was in too much turmoil.
"How could I think that about Yuki? I hate Yuki. I hate that kuso nezumi!" Kyo repeated over and over again pounding his fists into the fallen wood.
Kyo continued this beating of the wood until he was completely exhausted and the tree was a pile of mulch and splinters. His fists were bloody and cover with cuts and splinters. Wearily he dragged himself back to the house and through the door.
Tohru was cleaning the kitchen when she heard Kyo drag himself in. She rounded the corner and saw him getting out the first aid kit with bloody hands.
"Kyo! Oh my goodness! Here let me help you." Tohru said taking the first aid kit and leading Kyo to the kitchen.
Sitting down, Tohru took the tweezers out of the first aid kit and began removing the splinters from Kyo's hands. "Oh Kyo, what have you been doing." She said.
"Nothing…" Kyo mumbled.
"I was worried when Shigure said you weren't coming for dinner and had ran out the wall." Tohru said as she began cleaning the cuts.
"Thanks…" Kyo said.
"Did you and Yuki get into a fight?" Tohru said wrapping the bandages around Kyo's hands.
"No…not a fight." Kyo said remembering Yuki in that dress and blushed.
"Oh…an argument then…" She said slightly happy they didn't fight.
"….Not really…." Kyo said quietly.
"Then what happened?" Tohru said confused.
"I don't know." Kyo said.
Tohru gave him a puzzled look and then put away the first aid kit. Kyo was being weird; Tohru didn't understand why he would beat himself up this much over…well…nothing.
Kyo thanked Tohru for bandaging his hand and went upstairs to his room. "Maybe I just need to sleep." Kyo mumbled as he lay down and drifted off into dreamless sleep.
The next morning Yuki woke and grabbed his uniform for school. Trudging to the bathroom, he opened the door and turned on the shower (They woke him up better than bathes). His plan for the day was fairly simple, go to school, avoid Fan Club, go to Ayame's store to return the dress, come home, do homework. Hopefully it would be as simple as that.
Kyo had woken up before everyone else and went out side to punch down another tree. He came back inside and cleaned his wounds and bandaged his hands again. Being sweaty and such, he decided he needed to take a shower. Staggering up stairs, he grabbed a towel and his uniform then went to the bathroom and opened the door.
Yuki heard the door open and was slightly confused he opened the shower curtain to see Kyo standing there. Yuki's eyes widened to a considerable degree, as did Kyo's.
Kyo turned on heel and slammed the door shut behind him. "Did…I just…see Yuki naked!" He thought as his face turned an amazing shade of red. Kyo decided that today was not a good day to take a shower…maybe he should hose of on the lawn (WITH CLOTHES ON PERVERTS!..).
Yuki stood there for a couple seconds after Kyo left before grabbing his towel and drying off. "I can't believe I let Kyo see me in…another…embarrassing way." Yuki mumbled as he put his uniform on. The day definitely wasn't going his way.

Tohru was feeling the tension between Yuki and Kyo today. The weird thing is they weren't even glaring at each other, if they made any eye contact they both would quickly look away and blush like crazy.
She felt extremely relieved when they arrived at school and Uo and Hana came up to see her.

At the end of the school day, Yuki headed out to go to Ayame's store but was stopped when Torhu came up next to him with Kyo.
"Yuki, are you ready to go home?" Tohru said.
"Actually Honda-san… I was going to go visit Ayame…" Yuki said.
"Oh! That's great, we'll see you when you get home." Tohru said. She was very happy about Yuki going to visit Ayame again, two days in a row!
Kyo…well…all he could think of was Yuki in a flowy pale violet dress and hat.
Yuki noticed they way Kyo wasn't looking at him and figured he was thinking about the dress and rushed off.
Yuki arrived at Ayame's shop and walked into the cool air-conditioning.
"Yuki! What a great surprise! Two days in a row! Mon petit frère, je t'aime, je t'aime!" Ayame said.
"Ayame…I just came to return the dress." Yuki said taking the dress out to give to Ayame.
"No no no, I know how proper you are Yuki! I want you to keep it, you looked so lovely in it and anyways it got rid of your pesky fan girls didn't it? They stayed here for three hours afterwards." Ayame said.
"…Thank you ni-san…I guess…." Yuki mumbled.
"No problem! I'd do anything for my little brother." Ayame said smiling, "In fact, I believe that I should give you another dress just to show how much I love you!"
"NO! Please you don't need to!" Yuki said quickly.
"Oh nonsense! I'm just showing you how much I love you." Ayame said as he once again dragged Yuki to the back room.
"Where's Mine?" Yuki said as Ayame ran around with fabrics.
"Oh I gave her the afternoon off." Ayame said comparing trimmings.
"Oh…." Yuki said. Mine was his only way of getting out of this and she was gone.
An hour or two later, Yuki emerged from the dressing room and walked towards the large mirrors. This time his dress was a deep navy color with a neck once again at the collar bone. The sleeves were long and flared at the end with white lace at the trim. The shoes this time were slightly high heeled and ankle boots. Ayame tossed Yuki the hat that was much like the last one, except it had a band of white lace around the top.
"Oh Yuki-chan! You look beautiful!" Ayame said, "and as a special treat I made you another dress to take home with you."
"Thank you Ni-san…I've really got to go now though." Yuki said blushing.
As he walked home, Yuki was thinking, "If I had really not wanted this dress…I would have refused more or hit him….oh my god… do I really want these dresses?"
Yuki once again avoided Tohru, who was immersed in her cooking, and Shigure, who was talking on the phone to his editor pretending to be sick. Yuki walked up the stairs and to his room, for some reason excited to try on the other dress Ayame had sent with him.
Kyo was up on the roof and had seen Yuki come home, he was wearing another dress. "I think I like the violet better on him…" Kyo thought. He hated having these type of thoughts but they wouldn't stop so he decided to just ignore them…as much as he could. Plus he had had enough of Uotani making fun of his bandaged hands. Jumping down, Kyo went back into his room.
Yuki heard a thump in the room next to his. "Oh crap," Yuki thought, "Kyo saw me…" Yuki had changed out of the navy dress and was about to open the box Ayame had given him. Carefully he untied the ribbon and gently opened the box. Yuki's eyes grew wide when he saw what lay in the box.
