At Shigure's House

"A banquet?" Shigure repeated as though he hadn't heard Hatori correctly
"Yes that is what I said" Hatori said coldly.
"Oh so mean" Shigure whined.
"So are you coming tonight or not?" Hatori asked
"it's a little short notice Hatori and you say all of the zodiac is going?" Shigure asked his tone serious for once. "Yes, everyone including the cat and Tohru"
"kyo!" Shigure exclaimed definitely surprised.
"Yes" Hatori repeated for the tenth time.
"Of course we'll be there we'll be absolutely delighted!" Shigure laughed his child like tone back on, waving himself with his paper fan. The line went dead as Hatori replaced the phone.
"Goodbye Shigure" Shigure muttered to himself upset. Shigure thought as he walked back to his study, it wasn't so unusual, the banquet. Shigure was used to Akito making strange requests. What was more unusual was the fact that Kyo had been invited.

At School.

It had been a week since Tohru had been to see Akito and she had worried about it non stop, why was Akito so quiet? Why hadn't he been in touch.
"Kyo are you alright?" Tohru asked looking to Kyo was staring out of the window. Kyo didn't say anything.

"Yo! Orange top!" Uo shouted bopping him over the head. Kyo was brought back to reality by a pain in his head. "Hey Yankee what's the big deal"
"I sensed trouble waved from you" Hana said in her mysterious tone. Tohru blinked and looked at Kyo and he looked at her
"its nothing so shut it!" Kyo snapped pushing his chair back and marching from the room.

Tohru looked across the empty classroom that she, Hana, Uo and Kyo had been cleaning. Yuki was at a student council thing.
"What's up with orange top?" Uo asked "he sure seems one edge these days"
"Yeah…" Tohru agreed.
"Maybe you should go after him" Hana said,
"I couldn't do that and leave you with all this work!" Tohru objected loudly
"Tohru we've nearly finished" Uo said.
"Oh…are you sure?" Tohru asked
"Yeah" Uo repeated.

Tohru bowed "thanks!" then she grabbed her bag and ran from the room.
"Kyo!" she shouted as she ran hair flying.
"Huh?" Kyo turned around in time to see Tohru trip over her own feet and fall flat on the floor.
"Tohru! Are you alright?" Kyo asked bending down next to her.
"I'm…I'm…fine" she stammered lifting her head and sitting up "I'm so clumsy I should look were I'm going "
"Clutz!" Kyo muttered standing up. Tohru stood up too. "Come on lets get home" Kyo told her.
"O…okay" Tohru said.

They walked in silence for most of the journey, it was only when they were nearing Shigure's house that Tohru spoke.
"Kyo if I said something or did something wrong earlier I'm sorry" she said suddenly
"Huh?" Kyo asked "well its just you seemed upset and I just wanted to say sorry if it was something I did or said"

"Tohru…" he began

"No I really am sorry, shout at me or anything"

"Tohru"

"I promise if you just tell me what it is I can do something"

"TOHRU!" Kyo yelled silencing her. "What are you babbling on about?" he asked
"I upset you…" she began
"Tohru you didn't do anything wrong so you can stop apologising goddamit"
"I'm…sorry" she grimaced
"WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST SAY!" he yelled at her.
"I'm…um"
"no I'm sorry, I shouldn't have yelled at you" Kyo said to her not looking at her. "Its just you don't need to apologise for everything. Its not your fault its mine. You shouldn't assume that it was. Your perfect Tohru, you would never upset me" kyo said his cheeks turning red.
"I…kyo"
"What"
"I'm not perfect, I make mistake and I upset people. I mean im definitely not popular with the Prince Yuki fan club at the moment…" she began to babble. Then she was cut short as something very unexpected happened. Kyo grabbed her hand and looked at her. "No, you are perfect" he said smiling, in a very Un-kyo way. The two drew closer together, Kyo was pulling her gently towards him, Tohru could see herself in his eyes, they werent close enough that he would transform but they were definatelyclose. Somethign warm bubbled up in Tohru's chest.There was a snap of a twig and a dog howled in the distance.
"Come on lets get home" he said pulling her towards the house that was now visible in the distance, hsi hand still clutching hers.

"I am not going!" Kyo shouted slamming his fist onto the table.
"Kyo calm down" Shigure said
"Do you have to be such an idiot?" Yuki asked from across the table.
"Ah Tohru your evening meals are always delicious" Shigure said ignoring the erupting argument.
"What! Shut up you damn rat!" Kyo yelled back.
"Oh no really…" Tohru blushed at Shigure's comments.
"Its just a meal I don't know what your hissing about" Yuki said calmly.
"Well I'm not going to any stupid banquet!" Kyo said heatedly.
"It cold be a lot of fun!" Tohru piped up.
"And what about you? Do you realise you'll be on your own for an entire night?" Kyo asked.
"I'll be fine" Tohru began
"is something burning?" Shigure asked.
"Oh no I left the tea on!" she yelled sprinting out of the room.

"yeah very convincing!" Kyo spat digging into his meal.
"Shigure why is Akito holding a banquet and more importantly why is the stupid cat invited"
"SHUT UP"
"cant a person have a perfectly good excuse?" Shigure asked.
"No" Yuki and Kyo said together. As they both glared at each other Tohru re-entered the room.

"I hope you'll agree to come Tohru seen as these two boys are too busy fighting to accept" Shigure whined
"Oh no I cant, it would be too much trouble!" Tohru said
"But…but…there will be a cold dreary empty space next to me. The cold will roll in and the food will turn to ash in my mouth because I will not be able to enjoy it with my wonderful little flower" crocodile tears rolled down his cheeks. Kyo and Yuki rolled there eyes.

"Ok then I'll go" Tohru said. "I wouldn't want Shigure to be upset because of me. I wouldn't want anyone to be upset" Kyo's eyes darted to her face.
"Oh that's wonderful!" Shigure said loudly his fake tears disappearing at once. "That also means that Kyo has no reason to be mean and stay here"
"great…" Kyo muttered.
"When is this banquet anyway?" Yuki asked
"Saturday night" Shigure said. Yuki and Kyo looked at him surprised, the room silent, that was tomorrow.

…Saturday night.

"Tohru!" a voice cried out.
"Oh Momiji hi" Tohru smiled.
"I want to hug you!" Momiji laughed. Both Yuki and Kyo dived on him.

Tohru blinked.
"Idiot" Kyo and Yuki said together.
"Wah! Someone Kyo and Yuki are hitting me!" Momiji whined
"that's quite enough" Hatori said appearing as they walked into the great hall where a long table was situated where most of the zodiac were seated.

The music was loud no one heard Momiji's cries. "hello Hatori" Tohru smiled. Hatori looked at her for a moment and then turned around.
"I'll direct you to your seats" everyone followed him. Shigure was sat next to Ritsu, Kyo and Yuki were together and Tohru was sat next to
"Akito?" Kyo hissed looking up the table to make sure what Kagura said was true.
"yes, well we all wondered at first, then again we wondered why you had been allowed to come my love" Kagura said her arms tight around him. A minor scuffle had proceeded this. (kyo had several new bruises from this 'minor' scuffle)
"Kyo, why are you so worried anyway?" Kagura asked suddenly serious. Kyo looked at her and didn't say anything.
"I see" Kagura said gloomily removing her arms, she didn't talk to him for the rest of the night.

"I have been wishing to talk to you for some time now Mrs Honda" Akito said softly and menacing. Then he looked down the table to Kyo. "It isdisgusting, a monster sitting at my table" his eyes flashed dangerously. "Akito…" Tohru began as she looked from kyo to Akito, she thought she saw the flash of a bottle as Akito put his hand under the table. A faint tinkle. Her throat seemed dry so she took a drink from her cup.
"About Kyo…" she began.
"It's been sorted" Akito said smiling evilly.
"really? Oh that's wonderful!" Tohru smiled clasping her hand together.
"Is it?" Akito hissed.

Then quite suddenly Tohru double over in pain.
"Tohru, are you alright?" Ayame asked from across the table.
"I'm fine" she said trying to smile but it came out as a grimace.
"maybe you should see Hatori" Ayame suggested.
"No! I mean he's so busy" Tohru said. Hatori had disappeared a few minutes ago to help an old lady who had fallen.
"I'm sure he'll make a space for you" Ayame smiled mischievously. Again the pain came and Tohru double over again.
"maybe I should" she agreed. "Akito…" she began to asked to be excused.
"Go!" he hissed evilly "Run to the precious doctor"

Tohru stood and walked as dignified as she could out of the hall. Running footsteps from behind her made her turn just as she was beginning to black out.
"Tohru what's wrong Ayame said something was wrong!" Kyo's worried voice came.
"I…" Tohru began and then she stumbled and Kyo caught her arm tightly.
"You had better go see Hatori" Kyo said
"I'm fine now" Tohru said and it was true her vision was clearing and she felt better now.
"I don't care your seeing Hatori!" Kyo said spinning her around and marching her off down the hall.
"Kyo wait…" she pleaded.

"hmm, well you definitely have a temperature. I'm glad to see your burn healing well though" Hatori said a little while later.
"I told you, you were sick!" Kyo said heatedly.
"no, really" Tohru tried again.
"All you need is to rest for a couple of days" Hatori said and she jumped down from the examining table.
"But what aboutcooking and cleaningand school!" she asked shocked.
"Forget it ,I'm sure school can wait and I can cook you know" Kyo said as he he hit her around the head gently. "But.." Tohru began. Then she fell silent and smiled "thank you Kyo" she took a few steps forward towards Hatori.
"Thank…." she bean but her voice trailed off as she started to black out again.
"Tohru!" kyo said swiftly walking over to her as she fell.

Hatori moved quickly and she fell into his chest, his arms around her ready to protect her from the floor as she fell. She remained there, Hatori waited a moment or two, then he let out a gasp of surprise. Tohru was resting against his chest, he was hugging her.
"Hatori!" Shigure's voice came from the doorway shocked and there were traces of hope there too.
"K…K…kyo" Hatori stuttered, he actually stuttered. "Put her on that table" he said.

Kyo stared for a moment looking at Tohru. "Kyo!" Hatori said a little louder.
"What, oh yeah" Kyo shook his head and gathered Tohru into his arms. Then there was a puff of orange smoke. Shigure's and Hatori's eyes widened in horror and shock. For there on the floor was an orange and brown cat laid next to Kyo. Laying right where Tohru had been standing.
