A/N: I
am not entirely sure if Tohru calls Yuki "Sohma-kun" or "Yuki-kun
but here she'll stick to "Sohma-kun". In fact, I'm not sure
about a lot of their nicknames but never mind. And uh, just so you know, this chapter is a kind of filler. SORRY! Chapter 8 won't be so bad (I hope). (Is it really chapter 7 already? Wow... it's been such a long time...)
Tohru fell to her knees, tears dripping down her face. "Kyo-kun! Sohma-kun, please stop! Stop fighting!"
Kyo and Yuki froze, but Yuki was the first to lower his fist and hang his head.
"Tohru-kun, please stop crying," Shigure said to the girl. "They aren't fighting anymore, see?"
"The Princess is crying!" Ayame gasped. "What compelled her to do so? Kyo-kun! Yuki-kun! You must comfort your princess in her time of need!"
Kyo and Yuki went to Tohru's side.
"I… I'm sorry, Honda-san," Yuki said softly.
"Wh… why are you crying?" Kyo growled.
"Y…you do not like your shirts," she whimpered. "I… I made you sad. And you lied to keep me happy. I'm sorry."
"Tohru-kun," Hatori said. "They are just shirts. You could simply go into the city with them and buy ones they like."
Tohru blinked, then wiped her eyes.
"Yes, we should do that," Yuki said quickly. "There is no need to worry, Honda-san."
"Tohru-kun, would that make you happy if we went shopping for new shirts then?" Kyo asked gently.
The girl sniffed. "Y-yes. But I didn't know you didn't like the shirts you are wearing right now."
"Those shirts cannot be worn anymore," Hatori said pointedly. "It is inevitable to ruin such flimsy clothing in a short while, especially while fighting."
"I put a lot of effort into those shirts! They are not so much flimsy as they are delicate!" Ayame yelled defensively. "And what do you mean, they cannot be worn? Tori-san, wwwhhhy?"
Hatori pocketed his camera wordlessly and went out the door.
"Tori-saaaaaaan!" Ayame called, going after him.
Shigure tutted loudly. "Now look at this. All these rips and tears. Poor Aaya. And those shirts looked SO good on you."
Yuki smacked Shigure over the head. "You be quiet."
Kyo was less controlled. "YOU DAMN DOG! YOU THINK THIS IS SO DAMN FUNNY, DON'T YOU? I'M GETTING CHANGED RIGHT NOW!"
Kyo stomped off to his room, and Yuki also went to his room, both trailing tattered shirts.
Tohru picked up a rosy pink button off the floor. "Shigure-san, you thought the shirts looked nice on them, didn't you? Shigure-san?"
Shigure smiled weakly but didn't answer. Tohru pondered this while picking up the rest of the shredded cloth. Yuki and Kyo sure didn't go easy on the poor shirts.
"Shigure-san, did Ayame-san and Hatori-san leave?" Tohru asked inquisitively.
"Oh yes. I hope they get the film developed very soon…"
"I'm back," Kyo announced, coming into the hallway with a normal black t-shirt on.
"Honda-san." Yuki was not far behind Kyo. "I am sorry we made you cry."
Tohru smiled. "That's okay. Besides, now we can go shopping together!"
And we don't have to have my idiot brother giving us terrible clothes, Yuki added to himself.
And that damn rat's damn brother won't have give us disgusting clothes, Kyo thought with relief.
"Okay, what day shall we all go out? Tuesday?" Tohru beamed.
"Tuesday is fine by me," Yuki said.
"I am going to Shishou's dojo on Tuesday. Make it Wednesday," Kyo said.
Yuki didn't look at Kyo. "I have a Student Council Meeting on Wednesday. Make it Tuesday."
Kyo glared at Yuki. "Wednesday."
"Tuesday."
"WEDNESDAY."
"Ah, Yuki-kun, Kyo-kun, do not start fighting again. I do not want my precious housewife to start crying again," Shigure interjected, coming into the hallway too.
"SHE IS NOT YOUR WIFE!" yelled Yuki and Kyo.
"Tohru-kun… they're hurting me…" Shigure said mock-sadly when Yuki and Kyo started hitting him.
"Oh, please don't do that!" Tohru cried to the boys.
Kyo and Yuki sighed, defeated.
"I know, let's go to town on Thursday!" she said, swiftly changing the subject.
"Thursday, eh? I need a new shirt too, come to think of it," Shigure grinned. "I'll come with you. For... adult supervision."
Yuki and Kyo opened their mouths in a "No" but not before Tohru said, "Okay! What a great idea!"
Why me? thought Kyo and Yuki. Why him? they thought, exchanging dark glances with each other. And why HIM? they thought, both sweat dropping as they looked at Shigure who was laughing and waving his hands around airily.
A/N: I know that this chapter isn't very good but the next one will hopefully be better. Sorry guys.
Next chapter, they go shopping. Err, well, they TRY to.
