The next few days unfortunate to Kyo and Tohru the weeks that passed were dreadfully slow. No one dared speak to eachother in fear of what the other would say. Yuki left early for school eachday to avoid Tohru and Kyo. Shigure's mood seemed to darken with as he put it as the loss of his innocent Tohru. Kyo walked Tohru to school eachother, but it was always very awkward and they rarely spoke to eachother.

Tohru stared at the ground staring at her brown shoes. In out, in and out again, she concentrated on them, because she dared not look up. Kyo merely walked on, his hands stuffed into the blue hoodie he was wearing, looking off towards the houses.

"It isn't that bad you know. The others will get over it," Kyo said breaking the long silence.

Tohru looked over at him to see him staring at her thoughtfully. She didn't reply. She wasn't trying to be rude or anything, it was just that she wasn't sure how to respond to that.

They entered into the school and went their seperate ways. She nearly jumped out of her skin as she felt someone wrap their arms around her shoulders. "So you seem to be spending a lot of time with carrot top lately. Don't tell me you like him!" Uo said breezily as they walked towards class.

"I..." Tohru stuttered before her other friend Hana appeared with them, taking on Tohru's left side.

"Yes..so it would seem you are spending lots of time..with Kyo" Hana said keeping her eyes directly in front of her. " I sense wonderful electric signals from both of you," she said finally turning to look at the almost horrified Tohru.

"No! No! Its not thing like that! I swear!" sheied walking a head of them and turning to look at them. "Kyo just takes me to school everyday, thats all.."

Uo looked over her over, a smirk on her face not buying her story, "Really..okay then," she said not wanting to bother with Tohru.

"I have to get to class! Bye guys!" Tohru said rushing off, clutching her bag to her chest, not wanting to discuss the matter with her two friends. She entered the classroom and sat down at a desk. She was all alone since the bell hadn't rung yet and everyone else was with friends. She sighed laying her head on her desk.

She was half asleep, she had been up late studying the night before. She jumped when she felt a small tap on her arm. She blinked rapidly trying to adjust to the light in the room. It was Yuki. "Oh, I'm sorry Miss Honda, I didn't mean to scare you.."

"Oh no it is fine! Really!" she said wabing her hands in front of her and he smiled in return.

"Well that is good. I was just warning you, that the bell is going to ring in a bit and I don't want you to get into trouble with the teacher," Yuki explained.

Tohru looked around. Most of the class had filled up the seats and now were chattering to their neighboors or swooning over Yuki. "Thank you! I wouldn't want to get in trouble."

Yuki nodded smiling slightly and headed off to his seat in the back. Tohru groaned and shook her head at her carelessness. "I can't keep acting like this, or I will never get anything done."

Tohru was in her room putting clothes away when she heard some light tapping on her door. "Oh, come in!" she called setting the pile of clothes down on her plush pink bed. She had taken Uo's advise and made the room a bit more girly. She had a mirror hanging on the wall and had added a rug and some other accessories.

Shigure pushed open the door and looked around smiling slightly, "Well you have sure made this room nice...mind if I sit down? Oh thank you," he said after Tohru confirmed he could. Walking over to the bed he sat down next to the pile of clothes, using them as an armrest.

"It has been brought to my attention that you are invited to the New Year's banquet this year," he started off.

"Really? That is so cool, I can't wait to go see everyone! Well...is Akito alright with it?" she asked remembering.

"I'm sure, in fact Akito is the one that suggested it."

Tohru was a bit stunned at this. Akito seemed to hate Tohru, and she wouldn't have expected her to invite her.

"It is a big event. No one outside of the family has ever been able to come. You should feel very special, Tohru," Shigure said smiling warmly at her.

" Oh I know, I am really honored that Akito would invite me!" Tohru said obviously happy. She missed the other Sohams very much. She didn't see too much of them anymore beside Hatori who stopped by regulary to check up on Yuki's health.

"It is in a few days. If you don't have anything to wear I'm sure Kagura will have something...she is about your size.."

"Oh no, I have a dress. Will that be alright?"

"Perfect," Shigure said standing up. He suddenly became very serious. "Tohru..I don't want to be rude or prying, but if it is okay, I would like Hatori to come check up on you tomorrow."

"What? Why?"

Shigure sighed at her obliviousness. "You and Kyo didn't use protection. There is that possibility that something could have happened.."

Tohru's face turned white and she nodded violently. She couldn't have a child! It would get in the way of her school and she wouldn't be able to have anytime for her school work. It would break her promise to her mother.

"I will send the others away, they will know nothing of Hatori's visit if it helps," he offered and Tohru nodded. "Well you should be off to bed. Yuki said he found you sleeping in class today. Probably not the best thing. Rest up, it will do you some good," shigure said before bidding her goodnight and leaving the room.

He was right. Walking over to her bed she flopped down of it, the disturbance on the bed caused the pile of clothes to toppel over into a heap on the floor. Tohru groaned, but didn't make any move to pick them up, because she was already fast asleep.

Tohru moaned in her sleep as she felt the prodding of a finger on her arm. Opening her eyes she saw Hatori and Shigure standing over her. She sat up quickly, thinking she had overslept. Looking out the window she frowned seeing it was still dark out.

Hatori nodded and Shigure left the room. Sitting on the bed he looked over to Tohru. "How long ago did it happen?"

A few weeks ago.."

"With Kyo?"

"Yes."

He nodded and handed her a small pregnancy test box. She took it and went to the bathroom. Opening it she read the direstions and did what was told to do. After comming out she looked at the color. Red was no and White was yes. Her face turned the color of the pregnancy test. White.

Comming out of the bathroom she sat on the bed again. " The test results were..positive," she said slowly.

Hatori nodded as if was expected. Standing up he nodded. "I will keep this confidential for now, but they will find out eventually obviously," he said handing her a piece of paper with a diet and other conditions on it for her to do or not to do. "I expect you to follow this, if you plan on keeping this baby. I will come periodically to check up on you," He explained throwing the pregnancy test equipment into the wastecan by her bed. "Take care," he said before leaving her alone again. Peering over at her clock it read 4:42 A.m.

Not being able to sleep she picked up the fallen clothes and put them away. She had a sick feeling, almost nausiating feeling. Not pregnant symptoms, but because of worry. heading down stairs after dressing she picked up the living room and then headed into the kitchen. She had the urge to clean, to try to keep her mind off everything.

Walking outside she sat on the porch she watched two white bird sitting on a tree. Ones that were smililar to the one Akito usually was accomponied with. She frowned miserably. Though she believed there was good in everyone and she wanted to know them, she also knew Akito's dangerous temper. What would she think if she found out?

Shigure came out and stood next to her watching the birds aswell. "Hatori told me about the test...maybe you shouldn't go to the baquet.."

Tohru looked up at him, "Oh no! I couldn't miss that! You said it yourself I would be the first one that has been invited. Besides I miss everyone. I want to see the dance aswell...who is dancing this year anyways?"

"Hiro."

Tohru smiled. She wanted to see the small boy dance, though she already knew he probably wouldn't want to dance. She looked up hearing a growl of complaint of lack of food from Shigure's stomach. She rubbed the back of his head and smiled at her "Ah..."

"Oh right, I should go make breakfast!" She said jumping up and rushing over to the kitchen leaving a smiling Shigure behind.
