Sorry it took so long to update my readers!

Hit laziness, writer's block, and I'm switching schools, so a lot has been going on, needless to say.

Yuki or Tohru's thoughts

Ch. 4 Think, plan, ask

Yuki looked like he was paying attention in class. Honestly though, his mind was whirling. He'd already gone over what the teacher was currently droning about, and he spent his time thinking about the box. To his right, there was a small list of what they could do to investigate the photo.

Ask Tohru's grandfather about it. That seems like the first thing we should do. I want to know where it came from, and perhaps he'll know when it went missing and where it was found. I also wonder if he ever saw me with Tohru when we were younger.

Look into the place where it was found. It couldn't hurt, and we might find something else.

Ask Hatori. Other than Akito, who I am not going to go to ask, he's the one who saw me most during childhood. He might be able to tell us why we can't remember when the picture was taken.

This is a good idea, though I don't look forward to going to the main house. Hopefully Tohru's grandfather will be able to tell us everything, Yuki thought as a shiver went up his spine at the thought of meeting Akito at the main house. I'll just say I'm there for a checkup and Tohru tagged along if we run into him, he decided.

He looked over at Tohru, who was hurriedly taking notes. I don't want her to get hurt, he thought, his stomach clenching at the thought.

The school bell finally rang, signaling freedom to the restless teenagers within the school. Yuki held Tohru back as the rest of the class stampeded out the door.

"Tohru-san, can you please call your grandfather to see when we can visit? We should start out by seeing what he knows about the box and strip. "Yuki asked as they made their way down the deserted hallway.

"Oh! Yes, I'll call him as soon as we get back to Shigure," Tohru said as they started off on the road.

"By the way, where's that stupid cat?" Yuki asked, glancing around. "Kyo? Oh, he told me that he'd be staying a few nights with Shisho* training."

"It's just as well; at least the house will be much quieter." Yuki sighed."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Thanks Ojisan! Yes. No. Are you sure? Okay. Alright I'll see you tomorrow. Love you too. Goodbye!" Tohru smiled up into Yuki's bemused face. "He said we could drop by tomorrow! I'm glad; I haven't seen him in a long time, not since, well..." Tohru dropped off remembering how Yuki and Kyo had rescued her.

The same thought occurred to Yuki, who flushed a little, remembering his actions almost a year ago. Tohru looked up and giggled, noticing Yuki's blush. Yuki flushed darker, and Shigure tiptoed past giggling.

The awkward moment was broken when Yuki turned and followed Shigure.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Oh, nothing Yuki-kun, I just couldn't help noticing that you were so flustered."

"I wasn't flustered!"

Tohru watched the two men go into the kitchen and smiled. They might be arguing, but there not fighting, which means nothing gets

CRASH!

Broken, thought Tohru weakly as she ran to see what was going on.

I know It's not much, but I'll do my best to update soon. Please R&R! ^^

*Did I spell Kyo's Master's name right?

** I hope I'm not overusing Shigure, he's just so much fun to work with!:D
