"Tohru-kun! Kyo-kun! Where are you?" Whined Shigure and he walked down the stairs. "I'm making breakfast Shigure-san." Smiled Tohru, "And Kyo went to the Dojo." "So it's just you and me?" Smirked Shigure. "I don't think so." Growled Kyo, walking in and hitting Shigure. "Ow, Kyo-kun! That hurts!" Whined Shigure, "I thought you were out!" "I just got home." Replied Kyo.

"Are your headaches gone?" Asked Tohru. "Uh… yea." Said Kyo. "I'm all better." Laughed Shigure. Whack. "Ow! Kyonkichi! That really hurt!" Whined Shigure. "Shut up, you're annoying!" Snapped Kyo.

"Um… Shigure-san?" Mumbled Tohru. "Yes my precious flower?" Smiled Shigure. "If it's not asking too much, can Uo-chan and Hana-chan sleepover tonight?" Asked Tohru. "Sure Tohru…" Mumbled Shigure, remembering last time they sleepover. "Thank you very much!" Said Tohru, hugging Shigure knowing that the curse was finally gone. "Ah! I'm liking this feeling!" Smiled Shigure. "Shut up you stupid dog!" Growled Kyo, hitting Shigure and pulling Tohru away.

"I'm going to call them now…" Said Tohru. "Yea, whatever." Scoffed Kyo. She happily pranced out of the kitchen and up the stairs. "So are you feeling better?" Asked Shigure. "Um? What?" Asked Kyo, staring into space. "Yesterday, Akito gave you quite the beating." Said Shigure. "That? It's nothing big." Growled Kyo. "Did Tohru-kun help?" Grinned Shigure. "You perv." Scoffed Kyo. "You didn't hit me?" Said Shigure, surprised. "I'm saving that for tonight." Growled the cat.

"I forgot that I left the food cooking!" Screamed Tohru, running into the room, "It's not burn…" "Don't worry, I'll take care of it." Said Kyo, pulling Tohru's hand back, "You almost burnt yourself." "O-oh… sorry." Mumbled Tohru. "I'll be leaving!" Sang Shigure walking out. "Damn dog." Said Kyo under his breath. "It's ok Kyo, I can do finish." Said Tohru. Kyo snapped his attention back to Tohru and smiled, "No, you get ready for tonight, ok." "B-b-but, the house work is for me to do!" Insisted Tohru. "I'll do it." Said Kyo, putting his hand on her waist and his head on her shoulder. "Kyo, you already help me too much." Said Tohru, "This is for my room payment…" "Your smile is payment enough." Smiled Kyo. "Thank you Kyo, but really." Kyo put his lips to her's, silencing the riceball. "Ok, ok." Said Tohru, giving up. "Good, and don't worry. I won't burn the food that bad." Smirked Kyo. "Wh-What!" Spazed Tohru. "I'm kidding." Laughed Kyo. Tohru smiled and quietly left.

A few hours later, Uo and Hana arrived and Uo of course gave Kyo a hard time. "So orange-top, are you in a better mood?" Joked Uo. "Shut it Yankee, I don't need this shit right now." Snapped Kyo. "Tohru-kun, can you pleas show me to the snacks?" Asked Hana. "Yes! Of course." Smiled Tohru, leading Hana into the kitchen.

"Ok orange top, Tohru's gone. So can I ask you something?" Asked Uo. "If you're wondering where Yuki is, don't bother." Growled Kyo "He's staying at his mom's house for the weekend." "I wasn't gonna ask that, I didn't even notice he was gone." Admitted Uo, "Anyways, how's Tohru doing?" "Uh?" Asked Kyo, a little shocked. "In about a week, it'll be the anniversary of her mom's death." Stated Uo. Kyo's eyes grew. One: He completely forgot and two: His mother's face popped into his head. "Orange top?" Asked Uo, seeing Kyo freeze.

"We're back!" Smiled Tohru, walking into the room. "Tohru, I'll be 'upstairs' ok." Said Kyo. "Um, ok. But aren't you going to stay to play 'Rich Man, Poor Man'?" Asked Tohru. "Next time, ok." Said Kyo and he left.

"Yo, what's his problem?" Yelled Uo, hoping Kyo would hear her. "Many big things have happened lately." Stated Tohru, her eyes clouded, "Not many were happy… he's in pain." "Tohru-kun, it's ok." Smiled Hana, "We understand. Kyo isn't feeling well." "Yea, so let's start the game!" Laughed Uo. "Ok." Agreed Tohru, happily.

It was later that night when Shigure ventured out of his office. Mostly cause it was dinner. That is also when Kyo showed his face again. "Kyo, how are you feeling?" Asked Hana. "Yea, Tohru says you've been having a rough time lately." Added Uo. Kyo turned his gaze to Tohru, who's face was a bright red. Kyo looked mad for a second then sighed. "Yea, I have." "So tell us, what's up?" Smirked Uo. "None of your damn business, Yankee!" Growled Kyo. "Uo-chan, really, please don't bother Kyo." Whispered Tohru. "Ok, I will." Smiled Uo, " You know I'd do anything for you." Tohru just smiled back.

"Ah! Young love…" Smirked Shigure. "Young what?" Snapped Uo and Kyo at once, grabbing Shigure's kimono collar. "I didn't mean you two." Laughed Shigure, "I meant Kyo-kun and Tohru-kun." Kyo let go and stepped back. "Orange top, what's wrong?" Asked Uo. Kyo's eyes were wide in more fear then embracement. "Kyo-chan?" Mumbled Hana. "I-I-I have to go." Said Kyo and quickly rushed up stairs.

"What's with him? That's the second time he ran!" Complained Uo. "Like Tohru-kun said, Kyo-kun's not feeling well." Said Shigure, "It more or less… he's heartbroken." "Heartbroken?" Repeated Hana, suddenly gaining interest. "Shigure-san, I don't think Kyo would like us talking about this…" Said Tohru. "It's nothing that big." Said Shigure, "It's just his mother." "His mother." Repeated Hana. "Yea, he got upset when we brought her up." Said Uo, "Did she just die or something?" "She's been dead since Kyo-kun was small." Corrected Shigure, "A few weeks ago was the anniversary of her death so the head of family made it a big deal since Kyo's the ca- er, outcast." "Were you just gonna say cat?" Asked Uo, a bit wide eye.


Sorry it took forever to update! So what do you think is gonna happen? Stupid Shigure, letting that slip out. Bad dog. I've got half of the nextchapter done so I'll have it in like... a week? Also, I posted a sad little KisaxHiro oneshot so you can read that if you wanna.
