Chapter 2: Evil little Fruits do such Nasty things

It rained all day Saturday.

'So much for Tohru's vacation.' She thought, 'No instead I, the lovely Miss Honda, have been blessed enough to mop the Sohma's floor!' Tohru scrubbed a particularly stubborn patch of dirt off it.

At least she wasn't the only person in the house having a miserable day, Shigure, Yuki, and Kyo were too. Shigure spent it locked up inside his study writing who knows what, his publisher had been on his case half the morning about some deadline. Yuki was God knows where, and then of course there was Kyo.

'Ha,' Tohru laughed to herself, ' Poor Yuki is probably hiding somewhere Kyo can't find him.'

After all it was no secret that Kyo hated water, and he had spent the whole day 'sharing his feelings, ' by bitching and complaining left and right. It was days like this that made dealing with his explosive temper particularly frustrating.
"FEW, looks like I'm working up a sweat!" Tohru took off her bandana and wiped her forehead.

"TOHRU! TOHRU!"

"oh shit!" Tohru dropped what she was doing and looked for a place to hide.

"Tohru! Where are you? Come out I'm hungry what's for lunch!"

'Nooo! Not the monster! NOT KYO!' She could hear the 'ferocious' cat coming closer and closer, but there was nowhere to hide. Kyo's foot steps stopped outside the porch door, and Tohru ducked down below the paper screen.

"Tohru? You out here?" Kyo slid the door open and looked around.

"Don't look down. Don't look down" Thoru mumbled under her breath. This had to be the stupidest hiding place she'd ever been in.

'please god don't let him see me!'

"HEY! Wait you better not be hiding form me!"

God answered Tohru's prayers, Kyo did not look down to see her , but he did step forward. He stepped forward, flipped over Tohru, and rolled off the porch and into a huge mud puddle.

"Tohru what the hell! Don't sleep in the doorway!"

Tohru blinked. 'sleeping? Well whatever floats your boat Kyo.' She waved a hand through the air, " Im sorry I guess it's the weather. It sucks ass what can I say?"

Kyo grunted some type of response and said, " yeah well next time don't be so stupid, and get me a towel! I'm freezing out here!"

Tohru threw him one of her clean white towels before running inside. "I'm sorry I cant do any better than that Kyo! You just gave me a great idea for my report"

Once upstairs Tohru slammed the bedroom door behind her and got to work. She was grinning from ear to ear.

"Why didn't I think of this before? Noah's ark is a great idea" Just before her pen touched the paper the yellow apple toppled off her desk.

"THUMP!"

'how did that happen?' Tohru reached down to pick up the apple but it rolled to the side, and out of her reach.

'What!' "Hey stupid fruit come here!" She reached for it again but the evil little fruit moved away from her.

"What are there worms in you or something?" Tohru growled and pounced on the apple.

Too late, she hit the floor with her face and the happy little apple sped away to hide under her bed.

"Gah! My head." She rubbed it and stared at her bed.

"Tohru you ok?" called Kyo from downstairs.

"Yeah I'm fine Kyo-kun just exorcizing that's all!" Tohru slowly started to crawl towards her bed.

'OK apple no more games.' "Come outs form under there! I don't want you stinking up my room!" Tohru crawled under the bed and looked around, then she saw it. The fruit.

"ah-hah! cough-cough, " she gagged on some dust. The apple was on the other side of the room just next to the bed.

"gotch-yah!" She lunged, and snatched up the apple. Then she crawled out.
