River of Love

By: Chibi Silver Neko

Summary: First attempt at Shigure x Tohru. Shigure has always been fond Tohru, whom he calls his 'little flower'. But what happens when his brotherly instincts slowly turn into love? Shigure x Tohru fluff.

Silver: -still amazed at reviews- W-wow . . .

Shigure: -chuckles, walking over to Silver, placing a hand on her shoulder- Sweet Silver-chan is in a daze, but her thanks goes out to those that read and reviewed the story. And my thanks goes out to Daelaeyni for giving me a new phone!

Silver: -snaps out of daze- No flirting with the reviewers, Shii-chan! -thumps Shigure over the head-

Shigure: -rubs his head- Owie, why can't I flirt alittle?

Silver: Because you're with Tohru, and you better not cheat on her.

Shigure: You're right. -sighs-

Silver: But as Shii-chan had said, I do thank you all for reviewing and reading this story.

A/N - Just in case, I'm warning you all now: there maybe spoilers from the anime and Manga! And Shigure may seem a little OOC. But it goes well with his struggling feelings for Tohru! And there will also be swearing, because of Kyo's bad mouth. n.n

2nd A/N - Since I'm going to bring a female Akito in here, and there's a strong sexual attraction between her and Shigure, I'm going to warn you all now, there is going to be sexual content intended in this chapter. And maybe for the rest of the story. I'm still unsure of later chapters though. Please do not be offended if you don't like this stuff. Just skip through it for your sake.

Chapter Fifteen

Her heart pounded as her eyes stared at the test results, "N-no. . . " She stuttered, "It can't be . . . true . . . "

Tohru jumped, quickly throwing the tester into the trash as the door swung open. Shigure stood in the door way, a worried looked on his pale face as Ayame looked over his shoulder.

"Tohru, are you alright?" Shigure asked, kneeling next to her.

"H-hai, I'm ok, Shii-chan . . . I-i just thought I saw a spider." Tohru replied, smiling now.

Shigure's dark eyes stared into her aqua ones as his hand gently cupped her cheek, "Are you sure, Tohru-chan?"

The Onigiri nodded, "Hai, but I think I should go to that College entry now . .. " She added.

Ayame chuckled and ruffled her hair, "May I offer you a hand, Tohru-chan?" The Hebi asked, holding out a hand.

Ayame pulled her onto her feet with a friendly smile. Tohru bowed.

"A-arigatou, Ayame-san." She said, nervously bowing before running out of the bathroom.

Shigure sighed, running a hand through his hair as he stared after his little flower, "Now I know something is troubling her . . . " He said.

Ayame crossed his arms, thinking once more as his face went deep into thought, "She does seems nervous . . . "

His cousinput a hand to his face, thinking, "What could be bothering Tohru-chan . . . " He asked as something in the trash bin caught Ayame's eye.

The silvery haired Sohma bent down, looking into the trash. Something whitestuck out of the edge.

'Hello, what's this . . . ?' His hand reached down and picked up the test that Tohru had thrown away moments before they entered the room.

His golden eyes stared at the object in his hands, 'A pregnancy test?' The snake let outa gasp, making Shigure look over at him in confusion.

"Aaya? What's wrong?" The Inu asked, raising an eyebrow.

Ayame slowly turned around and held out his hand, revealing the tester, "Shigure, I think you should read this . . . "

Eyeing his cousin suspiciously, Shigure took the tester out of the snake's hands, "What would a pregnancy test have to do wi-" His dark eyes widened at the results, "Positive? T-tohru-chan is . . . "

"Pregnant . . . " Ayame finished for him, "Tohru is pregnant and I think she was scared to tell you . . . "

Shigure gripped the test, the news slowly sinking in, "I should've known . . . the morning sicknesses . . . " He whispered.

The Inu looked out, worry overwhelming him, 'Tohru-chan is pregnant . . . '

Japanese Words

Hai - Yes

Shii-chan - A nickname given to Shigure by the younger Sohmas, mainly by Momiji.

Note - About Tohru being called, 'Tohru-kun'. We all know that Tohru her self is a girl and not a boy, but the name Tohru is a guy's name in Japan. And in the Manga, people often added -kun to Tohru's name, because of that purpose. Even Shigure calls her Tohru-kun.
