Tohru's Problem- Her Black Side?
Author's note- I have never read a fanfic where I was lucky enough to get bi-daily updates. I know I really should stretch it out longer, but I am very addicted to writing it. And you better thank god for spell check because I made 16 spelling errors in this chapter (yes I counted)

Tohru was escorted to the principal's office and Akina was escorted to the nurse's office.
"Why didn't she fight back?" asked Yuki. "And since when did you share Haru's trait for a black side?"
Tohru just smiled and kept on walking. But she knew that Yuki had a reason to be confused, since when did she have a black side? It was new to her, and it felt good. 'You can't be that way,' she told herself, 'That's just not you! I have got to straighten up.' Yuki knew the reason that Akina didn't fight back, she has always been so pampered that she didn't know how.
"Okay here we are." The teacher said and directed Tohru to a chair, "stay there while we call Shigure."
When she sat Yuki sat with her. Nobody else was in the room.
"Hey Tohru," he asked, "What did you mean your father?"
"WHAT!" she asked, not looking at Yuki but instead toward the floor. She hadn't been aware that she had said that out loud.
"Is he alive to? If he is then you can tell me and I won't be mad." He smiled and put his hand on hers.
"Yes, he is. And Yuki," she looked up from the floor to his eyes, "he's a really bad man."
"Tohru, I want to ask one more question, is that okay?"
"Yes," she replied.
"Did he do something to you?" Tohru was shocked, how had Yuki found out about what her dad had done to her the other night? Maybe he didn't and he was just guessing. She should try to cover it up, but on her face was such a look of shock that she probably couldn't.
"No," she said, trying to put on a façade, "of corse he hasn't done anything to me Yuki."
"Tohru Honda, may I speak with you in the office?" said some office guy that she had no idea who it was. She got up and went into the office, followed by Yuki. She expected them to stop Yuki but they didn't. When they got in there they were asked to sit beside, wait, how'd they get in here? Shigure and Aaya?
"Miss Honda," said the guy, "After seeing what you have just did, you are to be expelled for three days. And there is something else that we need to talk with you about. We received a call this morning prior to your fight with Akina. It was from your previous employer. They said that you owe them 1,000 yen. They kept your check of 600 yen so that leaves you with a difference of 400 yen. I told them I would take the liberty of collecting for them."
"But I swear that it was Akina!" He just looked at her and then she pulled out her pocketbook and paid the money, leaving her with but a few yen to spare.
"Okay Tohru Shigure and this other fine fellow have drove out here to take you home."
She stood up, her head hanging, and thanked Shigure and Aaya for driving out to get her.
"Bye Yuki," she said.
"I'm coming too." Yuki said.
"No, Yuki. You go ahead and stay I will be fine at home alone."
"I insist," he said making his way over to Shigure and Aaya.

Once seated in the car, Yuki was in the back left Tohru back right, Aaya was in the front passenger seat and Shigure was driving.
"Tohru," Shigure teased, "I didn't know that you had a black side like Haru's."
"Neither did I," she said sarcastically.
"Was it truly Akina that stole the money?" asked Aaya. "I'm surprised that momoiji's dad was so hard on you. Maybe he wanted everyone with connections to the zodiac out of his work place and he had been looking for an excuse to get rid of you for a while."
Tohru admired how smart Aaya was, "yes, that sounds a bit right. I am really sorry for making you two drive out here just to pick me up."
"To hear about this story, it was worth it," Said Shigure. "And I didn't know you were so strong Tohru! On the way in I saw that Akina girl, at first I thought it was you but then I noticed that she had blonde hair, and she was bruised up bad!"
Tohru smiled and nodded her head.
"Oh yea, I forgot to tell you two this morning. While you two were out in the woods," at this Shigure laughed like the true pervert he was, "doing who knows what, Kyo came into the house, he sounded very upset. I don't even think I have ever seen him cry before. Anyway, then he gathered his things and left. Haven't seen him since."
Yuki and Tohru looked at each other, mouths open and eyes wide. They both knew what the other was thinking. Had Kyo seen under her socks? What's worse, had he seen them kiss?
"What were you two doing to upset him so?"
"Nothing!" they replied in unison, "we were just walking around!"

As they were in the car, Kyo was sitting under a bridge, eating some tunafish that he had thrown into his bag the previous night.
'Why do I have to love her so much?' he thought to himself, 'and why does that damn rat always have to take the spotlight?'
he wanted to leave, this city, this town, this country. He just wanted to get away from it all. But there was something stopping him, Tohru. He didn't want to leave her. Just to be close, even if it was just spying on her, was enough to make him a little happier.
