Tohru's Problem- Unemployed

Author's note- I'm sorry that it has been a few days since I updated but I haven't had the chance to go back to the library so I could get on the computers. But now I have my own computer back, and the Internet! Sweet Internet! And I'm really anxious to start on my next fanfic, its not totally worked out in my mind yet but it's going to be about Inuyasha. He and Kagome are going to get stuck in the current era! Hehe, but I am having fun writing this one, even if it is a bit more serious than others I've done.

Tohru quickly gathered her things before running home. She had to stop running several times to wipe the tears from her eyes so that she could see. By the time she got home she was crying so hard that she almost threw up, and her sleeves were saturated in tears. She fell to her knees at the front door. 'I need to straiten up before I go inside so they won't worry too much about me.' She thought, but didn't have the chance. Tohru heard a swoosh and then felt feet landing gracefully beside her, like a cat.

"What's wrong with you?" Kyo asked. He must have been up on the roof and heard her come.

As she stopped weeping she whispered, "Akina." Then poor Tohru passed out from exertion. Kyo lifted her carefully, trying not to transform, and carried her to her bed to lay her down gently. He then went downstairs to get a bag of ice to but on her forehead to cool it down, and a washrag to wipe the tears from her face.

Before returning he told Shigure, "hey, she's passed out, probably from crying so call that stupid seahorse over."

Shigure expressed a look of horror and shock, both obviously fake, and said, "Kyo, you meanie, what have you done?"

"I didn't do anything," Kyo yelled, his quick temper springing into action, "she passed out on the door step!" Shigure nodded his head and went to the phone to call him as Kyo went upstairs. At the top of the stairs he ran right into Yuki,

"What's wrong with Tohru?"

"DON'T ASK ME SHE JUST PASSED OUT ON THE DOORSTEP!" Kyo yelled before storming around Yuki. Kyo went into Tohru's room and put the bag of ice on her forehead and then wiped off the tears by passing the rag over her face.

She didn't wake up until after he had came and gone. All he had said was,

"She's fine, just a bit over worked. Keep her in bed all night and make sure she gets plenty to eat and drink. Now, if you will excuse me, I have somewhere to be."

When she woke up she was alone with Yuki, who had been admiring how cute she was when she was asleep.

"Yuki?" she said weakly, "what happened?"

"You passed out on our front step," he said, crossings the room to sit beside her on the bed, "and doctors orders to stay in bed all night."

He was sitting really close to her and their legs were slightly touching.

"He said you said something about Akina before you passed out?" Yuki asked.

A tear rolled from her left eye, "Yuki she went and stole money from where I work. Since we are twins they thought that she was me and when I told them that she was my twin who I had thought was dead, they made fun of me saying that 'having an evil twin' was the oldest excuse in the book."

Tohru sat up and leaned her head on his left shoulder. Yuki was very pleased that she would feel comfortable doing this with him so he gently rubbed her back. She felt so light and tiny on his shoulder as she wept softly.

"Tohru," Yuki said quietly, "tomorrow do you want me to help you find a new job after school?"

Instead of nodding she looked up into his eyes, her head tilted slightly to the right, their lips very close. Yuki closed his eyes and started to lean in. Tohru's eyes remained only half-open. Yuki gently, slowly kissed her bottom lip. As he pulled away, they both knew things had changed. Tohru smiled and said truthfully,

"Thank you, Yuki." They were looking each other in the eyes with a look of true love when Shigure popped through the door.

"Not to ruin this romantic moment," he said with a worried look instead of his usual perv look, "but Tohru, Yuki, you two have some company over."

They both hurried downstairs and were ushered into the living room by Shigure. As soon as they saw who the company was they stopped in their tracks. It was the three main girls from the prince Yuki fan club.

"Tohru, how are you?" they said in unison with a smirk.
