Chapter One
Mayhem
Tohru's POV
I woke up to yelling, and I wasn't surprised. Ayame-san had come to visit again yesterday, and Yuki-kun probably locked him out of his room for the night. And Ayame-san probably used the excuse involving Shigure-san, and Kyo-kun probably forgot to lock his door.
"You bastard!" I heard Kyo-kun yell. "Get the hell away from me! Get out of my room!"
"But I'm still tired." I heard Ayame-san complain.
There was some banging and crashing, and then all was quiet.
I sighed.
I was awake now, so I decided I'd better get up and get breakfast underway. I got dressed in my nice white peasant-top and a light blue skirt. I pulled my hair back in two braids and headed downstairs, for it was the weekend.
"Tohru-kun! You're awake!" said Shigure-san warmly.
"Yes, finally." Said Ayame-san waving his hand lazily. "Get us some breakfast! I'm starving!"
"Nii-chan, you're being rude!" (A/N: not sure if that's right. I forgot what was 'brother'.) Yuki-kun yelled, awake more than usual at this time in the morning. "Good morning Miss Honda." He said to me.
I smiled, and asked, "Where's Kyo-kun?"
Shigure-san answered, "He's out on his run, and later I think he's off to the dojo."
"Oh." I said, and walked into the kitchen.
"You should join him Tohru-kun! You'll get to see Kyonkichi practice!" said Ayame-san with the tiniest hint of teasing and mockery.
"Oh! That would be wonderful! I'll be sure to ask him!" I said brightly and began to prepare breakfast.
An hour later…
Just as I was setting out breakfast, I heard the front door slide open, and shoes being dropped to the floor.
"Kyo-kun?" I called, "Breakfast is ready! You're just in time!"
"If that damn snake is still here, I'm skipping." I heard him mutter softly.
"Oh, Kyo-kun! You can't skip breakfast after your run! You'll be faint!" I protested, walking into the entryway. But, he was closer than I thought and I bumped into him.
BANG!
There was a puff of smoke and Kyo-kun was in his cat form.
I dropped to the floor, face in my hands. "Oh, Kyo-kun! I'm so sorry! I – "
"Hey." He said softly, nudging me with his paw.
I looked down at him. "You didn't know where I was. It's fine. I'll go change." He said.
"Ooooh! Little Kyonkichi is acting all grown up being nice to Miss Tohru." Ayame-san cackled, poking his head into the entryway.
"Damn snake!" Kyo-kun yelled, and -
BANG!
He was back into his human form.
"Eek!" I cried, and spun around and rushed into the living room (A/N: I'm not sure what they call the place with that table in the manga. It could be living room, I just wasn't sure…) and tripped over the corner of the table and fell flat on my face, almost landing on Yuki-kun.
There was silence for a few moments before Shigure-san burst out laughing, then with a glare from Yuki-kun he stopped. I scrambled up and my face was beet red. "Uh… is everyone enjoying breakfast?" I muttered, trying to get the attention away from me.
"Yes, everything is delicious Miss Honda." Said Yuki-kun warmly.
I smiled, and sat down myself.
Later that afternoon…
I heard Kyo-kun getting ready to leave, so I quickly dried my hands from washing the dishes, and rushed to stop him before he left.
"Kyo-kun! Ah! Wait!"
He stopped, one foot out the door. He was wearing his martial arts uniform, and carrying his gym bag, full of clean clothes to change into, I supposed.
"Yeah?"
"Umm…" I said, stalling, not wanting to intrude of his time at the dojo.
He waited a few moments before he said, "Spit it out!"
I started, and said, all really fast,
"Idon'twanttointrudebutIwaswonderingifIcouldgotothedojowithyou?"
He stared at me. "What? Slower please."
"I don't want to intrude but I was wondering if I could go to the dojo with you?"
He stared at me again, and then asked, "Why?"
"Well, I haven't seen Shishou-san in a long time, and I… well… I wanted to spend some more time with you, and maybe see you practice? I-if that's o-okay…" I stuttered at the end, nervous that he'd say no, when I really wanted to go with him. But that was selfish of me.
"Nevermind." I muttered, turning around to go back into the kitchen, when he grabbed my hand. I turned around to see him smiling wide.
"I shouldn't have asked why."
"What?" I asked, confused.
"It's just that – I wanted to spend time with you too, but uh… I thought you'd be bored if you came." He said awkwardly.
I smiled this time. "Oh! No, Kyo-kun I could never be bored! If it's something you love then, I should…" I stopped, embarrassed. What is wrong with me? What am I saying?
He just looked at me. Then a blush creeped up his face. "Come on already."
"Let me just put away my apron!" I said, all excited, and I rushed back into the kitchen, pulled it off and rushed back out the door and walked with Kyo-kun to the dojo.
A/N: What do you guys think? Autumn Scorpia sent me the first chapter, but it was evil and wouldn't upload. So, I wrote my own first chapter! Hope you all liked it!
