Tohru's Problem- A past-midnight snack

Authors' note- I'm sorry the last one was so short (and with spelling/grammar issues) but with updates every day (WHILE I am in the middle of moving) you can't complain. Thanks for the reviews! Loving them! And inulover411, I threw in some thing just for you! And all the people that read this you better be happy that my town has a library within walking distance! I had to lie about my age and walk to the library to be able to publish this and get on the computers!

"A sister!" Yuki was stunned. How could he have not known? Where has she been all this time?

"Yes…" Tohru said shyly pulling her hands out of his, "a twin sister. Except she's a slut."

Yuki had never heard Tohru talk this way about anyone, much less someone in her own family. Stunned into silence he just stared at her in confusion.

"I'm sorry I didn't say anything before, but I thought she was dead and I didn't want to talk about her. But I saw her tonight… she stopped by…" she looked to the bottom left of her eyes before continuing, "after I left work to say hi."

"I see," Yuki said, "so, is the reason that you never talked about her death was it was to hard for you?"

"Yes, but I now know that it was all a setup and that mother had lied to me about her." With this, she broke into tears and leaned into Yuki's shoulder. He took his hand and gently rubbed her head. He was admiring her legs when he noticed that with her short nightgown she was wearing her school socks pulled up to her knees.

"Hey Tohru?" he asked, "Why are you wearing your school socks?"

"I don't know," she said and stood up, "so, are you still up for some warm milk?"

"Milk?" she heard another familiar voice say, "mmmm."

Yuki stood up and they both looked into the hall. Kyo came in wearily. He looked from Tohru to Yuki, both of which were staring at him.

"WHAT DO YOU WANT YOU DAMN RAT?" Kyo yelled. Yuki ignored him and instead responded to Tohru, "Yes, that sounds good." Yuki looked over to Tohru, who seemed to be still staring at Kyo. He wondered if she was worried that he had heard their conversation. Yuki looked from Tohru to Kyo and noticed that he was shirtless. He was worried that she was maybe… in love with him? Or was she at the least interested? Either way, Yuki was jealous.

"Kyo, you stupid cat, have some decency when around a woman. Go put a shirt on."

"WHY DO I HAVE TO LISTEN TO YOU!" Kyo replied angrily.

Yuki kicked him really hard in the stomach. Kyo stumbled and went back to his room muttering. Tohru was still staring where he had been.

"Don't worry, I'm sure that he didn't hear," Yuki reassured.

"okay," tohru said and smiled her true tohru simile. She turned and put three glasses of milk on the stove. Yuki crossed over to the table and sat down.

"Tohru," yuki said, "just remember to let me know if you ever need anything. I want to help in any way I can, it would make me happy to have the chance to help you." She nodded and continued to stare into the pot of milk that she was heating.

"it will be ready in just a second," she said, her voice cracking a bit as if she was about to cry. Kyo walked back into the room, now wearing a shirt, and sat at the table as far from yuki as possible.

"tohru, why are you wearing those stupid socks?" Kyo inquired.

"I just forgot to take them off I guess." She took the pot off the stove and started pouring the milk into the glasses.

"but earlier didn't you take an hour and a half shower?" he asked quizzically.

"oh yea…I don't really know how they got on then." She carried the three glasses to the table and passed one to each of the boys and kept one to herself. Nobody really said anything the whole time, but yuki and kyo kept throwing weird looks at tohru.
