Snoring usually is looked down upon as a bad trait. It always had been seen as something hideous that nobody wanted to admit they did, but of course, the soft snores coming from the prince were nothing but a beautifully composed melody. Everyone stared as another piece of chalk flew out of Mayu's hand and broke against the top of Yuki's head. The chunks of white chalk crashed down around Yuki's desk, joining the rest of the broken bits. Mayu looked down at the empty box that was once full of brand new chalk and then back at Yuki who was still sleeping soundly with white powder sprinkled over his silver locks.

Tohru bit her lip worriedly and watched Yuki from the corner of her eye. Noticing a hunk of chalk still wedged under his silver strands, Tohru reached over and dug it out for him, unaware of all the eyes that observed her every movement. The piece of chalk slid out of her fingers and fell on the floor when she noticed that she was now the center of attention. Embarrassedly, she looked down at her desk and folded her hands together. The only sound in the room came from Yuki and Kyo. Yuki continued to snore softly, and Kyo was laughing, either at Yuki or at Tohru's timid posture.

Yuki turned his head over, sending the white dust up into the air. The tiny particles were treated as something finer than pixie dust as they landed on nearby girls. They giggled and blushed. Some even made envelopes out of notebook paper and scraped whatever chalk they could get their hands on into the envelopes to save. Obsessive would be an understatement. Anything Yuki touched was valued more than gold at Kaibara High School.

Mayu let out an exasperated sigh, "Ignore Sohma… Take out your books and turn to page 54…"

The class did as they were told, listening to the lecture reluctantly. Everyone found this sleeping Yuki much more amusing. He slept through four periods, straight into lunch without showing any signs of waking up. Even after the legs of chairs screeched, scraping against the floor, as students got out of their seats, Yuki was still fast asleep. Tohru was the only student left in her seat (besides Yuki) after the bell rung a second time. She didn't want to go outside to the usual place where she ate lunch with her friends and leave Yuki here alone since she knew how disoriented he was when he awoke.

"Tohru, are you coming to eat lunch?" Uo called from the doorway.

Tohru looked at Yuki before responding, "Um… I think I'll eat in here today…"

Uo raised her eyebrows, "You can leave the prince for forty minutes… I'm sure he won't even notice that you're gone."

Tohru glanced at Yuki again uneasily. If there was one thing that woke Yuki up –besides a rash comment from Kyo- it was the smell of food, and if there was no one here when he awoke, he'd most likely walk into something and hurt himself, or even worse, he could run into a girl and expose his curse to the school. She couldn't let Yuki do either of those if she could help it. Staying inside for lunch wasn't a big deal anyways, but Uo didn't seem to believe the same thing. Uo walked back over to Tohru and urged her to come outside and eat. Tohru shook her head at Uo's persistency.

"I can't… What if he wakes up? He'll be hungry…"

"He can find us at our usual spot. He's not a baby," Uo pointed out.

"I know… But… He might um… run into something…" Tohru breathed worriedly.

"Run into something?" Uo repeated skeptically.

Tohru nodded in confirmation. She knew how ridiculous that sounded, but it was true. Yuki was a refined teenager, not a klutz like her, but when Yuki was half asleep, he didn't function as well as he usually did. Just this morning, he had run into three different walls, knocked over a vase, and tripped before he made it to the table and went back to sleep. If she hadn't been there, Shigure would have drawn a mustache on Yuki's face too, and Kyo would have started a fight. Nope, she couldn't leave Yuki by himself. Besides, she could see a couple of Yuki fan girls lingering by the door, ready to pounce on their unconscious prince.

"Just leave the damn rat. Who cares if he runs into something? He can rot in-" Kyo started, but before he could finish, he was flying across the room.

He crashed into the front board with a shattering sound. His body hung there momentarily before he slid off and fell to the ground. It only took half a second before the blackboard crumbled and dropped on top of him. Everyone stopped what they were doing to observe the battered Kyo. Uo and Hana switched their gazes from the indent in the wall, to the motionless pile underneath, and then finally to Yuki, who still had his head on the table and his eyes closed; the only difference was his raised hand. Tohru gaped and jumped out of her seat, hurrying over to the front of the room to unearth Kyo's body while everyone else moved along to stare at Yuki. Yuki slowly lifted his head and lowered his arm, all while glaring at the heap of rubble Kyo was under.

He rolled his eyes and shook his head, "That's really unnecessary Honda-san. You should just leave him there so maybe he can just die already."

At Yuki's comment, Kyo roared back to life and sprung to his feet, pointing accusingly at Yuki, "I thought you were asleep!"

"And I thought you were dead. Pity that we had to be wrong…" Yuki said with a careless shrug.

Tohru raised her hand to remove a piece of the blackboard off of Kyo's shoulder, but before she could, Kyo shrugged it off and moved out of her range. She looked down and dropped her hand, looking a little hurt, but she was easily distracted by the murmurs floating around the room. Her eyes scanned the room, her eyes resting on each dawdling student for a second each. Everyone's gazes flickered back and forth between Yuki and Kyo. Neither of the two had stopped glowering at the other. They had heard from Yuki the first day Kyo started school here that they didn't get along well, but no one suspected it to be this bad. Who would expect the kind, reserved prince to toss a teenager across the room and have a glaring contest after saying malevolent things?

"You should be the one who dies…I will kill you one of these days…" Kyo muttered.

Yuki shrugged again, "Good luck with that… Wake me up when you're ready…"

His eyes shifted around the room with a softer look before he settled his head back down on the desk, already on the verge of sleep again. Kyo scowled at Yuki for a short moment before he stormed out of the room. Tohru glanced at the doorway where Kyo had crossed just a second ago before she refocused on Yuki. Tohru jolted up and rushed over to Yuki's desk, shaking his shoulder before he became completely lifeless, "Yuki-kun?! Aren't you hungry? Do you want me to get your lunch? You slept through breakfast…"

"No… I'm tired… I'll eat later…" Yuki muttered before his eyes closed.

Tohru's mouth slid downwards at the sides. She stopped shaking him but kneeled down beside his desk with a fretful expression. He offered her a tiny smile and patted her head to let her know that he was alright before he drifted off to sleep, forgetting to move his hand. Tohru was too timid to shove his hand away, not that she really wanted to, but it was embarrassing to be seen like this. To her joy, everyone in the room was too busy talking to notice Yuki's hand atop her head, everyone except for Hana who saw everything, but her happiness was short lived. Her smile faded into a frown as she listened to what they were saying about Yuki.

"What do you think he did all night?"

"Homework?"

"Nah, knowing Sohma, he probably finished that as soon as he got home…"

"He was probably up all night with a girl if you know what I mean… Motoko and Minami were sulking over his… virginity the other day…"

"…No way… You're kidding, right?"

Tohru glanced up at the two boys loitering by the door. Her eyebrows knitted together with worry, the best she could manage at something relatively close to a glare. Tohru got up to her feet, causing Yuki's hand to drop back to his side with a soft thud. The noise was only audible to her, but it was enough to make a blush creep back onto her face as she trotted over to the boys. Tohru balled her hands into small fists and pursed her lips together to help her gather up all the courage she had –which wasn't very much- so she could do what she needed to.

"Y-Yuki-kun's not like that…. He w-wouldn't do things l-like that," Tohru stammered.

She wasn't sure why she was bothering at trying to defend Yuki when she was so terrible at sticking up for herself. He was her friend of course, so she had to try. She couldn't just sit around and listen to them make fun of Yuki, but she couldn't make her voice sound remotely steady or strong. She was probably encouraging them to go on with her defensive skills. Tohru gulped down her desire to retreat and stood as firmly as she could. Nothing that bad could happen with Uo and Hana in the room. If worse came to worse, they'd defend her. They wouldn't be defending Yuki with her, but their help would be appreciated.

"How would you know Honda? Just because you live with him doesn't mean you know what goes around in his room when you're asleep…"

"Ah… Um… I'm sorry…" Tohru whispered in defeat.

Everyone already knew that she lived with Yuki thanks to Minami and Motoko. They didn't need to know that the reason Yuki wasn't a virgin anymore was because of her and her condition, and they never would need to know that she did know what went on in his room when she was supposed to be sleeping. She remembered going to his room nearly every night during the first weeks of her pregnancy because she couldn't sleep. None of those times she went in there unannounced did she see anyone but Yuki in there. Besides, she cleaned his room for him as well. She never found anything that suggested that Yuki was doing something inappropriate. Even without such things, she knew Yuki, and she knew he wasn't the type of person who would do such immoral things.

"Tohru, do you really mean that? Do you really think your boyfriend is cheating on you every night?"

"B-bo-boyfriend?" Tohru sputtered embarrassedly.

"Yeah… Isn't that what you call a guy you kissed?" Uo asked nonchalantly.

"K-kissed?" Tohru squeaked.

Her face turned bright red. She knew everyone left in the room was staring at her. She could feel everyone's eyes burning individual holes through her body. The last thing she needed was another reason for her classmates to hate her. Most of them started to ignore her after they found out that she lived with their prince. She didn't want to think about what they'd do to her now that they knew about her and Yuki's accidental kiss. Tohru swallowed nervously and stole a glance in Yuki's direction to make sure he was still asleep. To her relief, she couldn't see any sign of consciousness. She didn't want him to hear her make a fool of herself. He heard and saw enough of that already.

"Yeah. We heard you supposedly molested the prince last week," Uo snickered.

"Molest?!" Tohru cried before shaking her head to the side frantically, "No, no, no, no! It was an accident! I-I didn't mean to… We were picking up the same thing, and w-we looked up… I mean! Unless… He said it that way…"

Tohru trailed off, too embarrassed to go on. Her blush had spread from just her cheeks to her whole face. She couldn't even bring herself to look up at her two best friends anymore. Tohru fidgeted in her spot, fiddling with the hem of her top out of humiliation. Now she couldn't get the image of Yuki's shocked face from when she had kissed him out of her head, nor could she stop thinking about the feel of his lips when they were against hers. She hadn't expected her first kiss to be like that, but she couldn't say she was disappointed, more like elated and embarrassed. Her first kiss had been with the prince of her dreams, who would be disappointed? It seemed a bit odd to her that she had lost her virginity before giving away her first kiss, but then again, that night had been focused on conception, not romance or pleasure.

"A kiss is still a kiss…" Hana added with a faint smile.

"Uh-huh… So has he asked you out yet?"

"A-asked m-me ou-out? W-why would he do th-that?" Tohru stuttered nervously.

"Tohru, Tohru, Tohru… If you keep this up… You'll have your picture in the dictionary, right beside the definition of 'dense'," Uo muttered.

"Eh? Dense? How come?"

Uo opened her mouth to tell Tohru, but Hana covered her mouth before Uo could get a word out, "It is not our place to tell…"

Tohru cocked her head to the side, still utterly clueless. Uo sighed and grabbed Tohru's arm, dragging her up to her feet. Uo looked around the room, trying to look for a distraction before she shook Tohru until she realized that Yuki liked her more than a friend should, or she was going to wake up Yuki and force him to confess to Tohru already. She took a deep breath and pointed to the box that stuck out of Tohru's bag, "Eat…. Lunch is over in ten minutes…"

Tohru nodded and bent over to pull her lunch box out of her backpack. She frowned slightly when she noticed Yuki's besides hers in her bag -she had packed his lunch and brought it to school for him. She took both out, setting them on her desk and glancing at Yuki. He didn't look like he was going to wake up anytime soon. Her forehead creased with worry. She knew he had said he was more sleepy than hungry, but she also knew that it wasn't healthy to skip both breakfast and lunch. Still, she knew better than to try and wake him. That would be impossible, but she seemed to be the only concerned person. Uo plopped herself down on top of Kyo's desk while Hana pulled a chair up to Tohru's desk. The two of them only worried about the food before them.

"So what made Prince Charming like that?" Uo asked, lifting her chin in Yuki's direction.

Tohru looked down, "It's my fault… I didn't wake up quick enough to put the key in the baby… So he woke up each time as well… He almost broke the door down… and the baby too. I don't think he likes this project too much…"

Uo snorted as she laughed, imagining the scene of Tohru walking in on Yuki about to smash the baby. She would have laughed harder if Yuki had broken the baby after all. It would have been more than interesting to see how Mayu reacted. He and Tohru would have failed the project for sure.

"Tohru, that's not your fault," Hana told her.

"I should have made him stay home though… He almost fell down the stairs, and he fell asleep at the table before I could give him his breakfast… I tried to tell him to stay home, but he remembered we had a test today that he didn't want to miss…" Tohru continued.

She poked around her food, occasionally taking a bite or two. Tohru was too worried about Yuki and Kyo to be hungry. Kyo had stomped off without taking his lunch with him. She knew he was probably on the roof, but she couldn't go up and give it to him. The baby didn't seem to like it when she went to high, windy places, and she was positive that Uo and Hana wouldn't agree to go up there for her. Yuki was her main concern though. Kyo had at least eaten a lot at breakfast. She looked over at Yuki again and let out a sigh.

"Well, he's going to miss the test anyways at this rate…" Uo muttered.

Tohru nodded, only partially listening to what her friends were saying.

"We have gym next… He cannot possibly sleep through that," Hana pointed out.

"Hopefully," Tohru gave them a faint smile though she didn't really believe it. If Yuki even left his seat and walked to gym, he'd probably fall asleep on a bench in the locker room. She wasn't counting on seeing him enter the gym. She was practically praying that he wouldn't leave the locker room. Gym wouldn't be very safe for someone who was half asleep. He could trip, run into something or someone, get hit, or other various things she didn't want to think about, and with her athletic skills, she wouldn't be able to protect him whatsoever. She'd do more damage than good.

"Don't waste your time worrying about that damn rat. Just leave him here to sleep if you're so worried," Kyo rolled his eyes at her worried expression.

"Kyo-kun! You're back!" Tohru cried. Her head jerked up, and the strawberry she was holding fell out of her hands. She had been too distracted to even hear him reenter the room.

"Yeah… I had to come back. I forgot my lunch…" Kyo muttered. He sauntered back to his desk without a look towards Yuki, Uo, or Hana. He managed to stuff his whole lunch down before the bell rung while Tohru only ate another strawberry. She forced a smile onto her face to keep Uo and Hana from worrying about her. Quickly, she stuffed her and Yuki's lunch boxes back into her backpack and stood up. She hesitated before taking a step away from her desk and towards the door where Uo and Hana were waiting for her. She turned back and stared at Yuki.

"Are you sure we should leave him here?" Tohru asked.

"Tohru, c'mon. He won't wake up if the building explodes," Uo reassured her with a grin.

Tohru reluctantly left the room with Uo and Hana, only to start feeling nauseous. Maybe she should have eaten more of her lunch. She clutched her stomach, taking a few steps down the hall before the pain became unbearable. She could feel her breakfast and what she had just eaten begin to crawl up her throat.

"Umm… I'll meet you guys in class!" Tohru choked out before covering her mouth and darting off to the bathroom.

Uo and Hana exchanged the same concerned look. They were about to check on her, but a passing teacher ushered them along to class. When Tohru stepped out the bathroom, she wasn't shocked to see that Uo and Hana weren't there anymore; what shocked her was the crowd of Yuki fan club girls around the bathroom waiting for her. Shocked, Tohru stumbled backwards, falling against the bathroom door. The door swung open and Tohru ended up sitting on the ground with a bewildered expression. None of the girls bothered to muffle their laughs, and Tohru was too nervous to get back onto her feet.

"Tohru, you might want to be more careful. Falling like that can't be good for the baby," Minami sneered.

Tohru's eyes shot open. She tensed up and brought her knees to her chest, subconsciously placing a barrier between the baby inside of her and the fan girls. She couldn't respond to them. They weren't supposed to know about her baby though it was getting hard not to notice her belly now. She had been extremely thin before, and now, she looked more than a little chubby in the abdominal area. She bit her lip, praying that they would just leave her and her baby alone.

"No denials?" Motoko glared at her.

Tohru looked down, hiding her eyes behind her bangs. Motoko yanked Tohru up by her arm. Tohru's body heaved towards the door, but Motoko made no attempt to steady the girl. Her shoulder hit the bathroom door, making Tohru wince, but no one seemed to care about her wellbeing. Motoko jerked her back towards her, and Tohru tensed up, cringing from a blow she never received physically. She knew these girls weren't here to throw her a baby shower and congratulate her. The dark looks in their eyes told her everything.

"Whore… You act all innocent and childish at school, but you secretly sleep with men at night? Is that your job? Being a prostitute?" Minami snapped.

"I-I'm not a pr-prostitute…" Tohru whispered.
Motoko slapped her across the face. Tohru choked back a whimper of pain, but she couldn't fight off the tears that bubbled out of her stinging eyes. Her tears only seemed to excite the fan club members. They seemed to be happier when she was suffering. Tohru covered her cheek, trying her best not to panic at this point. She needed to think clearly so she could get herself and her baby out of this situation safe and sound.

"Serves you right to be pregnant. Sleeping around is just sick. That baby should make you learn your stupid lesson. I'm surprised you didn't get an abortion."

"Maybe we can help you with that… We'll help you get an abortion…"

Tohru's eyes widened even more. She wrapped both of her arms around her stomach and shook her head back and forth, her eyes never leaving the fiery eyes of Motoko. She trembled as she yanked herself out of Motoko's grasp. Her back hit the tiled wall of the bathroom. She looked behind herself. She had nowhere to escape. Tohru was trapped in a tiny bathroom. There were no windows to climb out of. Her only way to get out would be the door, but the fan club was blocking it. Her lip quivered as her legs crumbled, leaving her on the ground once more.

"Why are you so scared? You don't really want this baby, do you?" Motoko laughed as she twisted a sharp looking tool around her fingers.

"No… I want it… Please… Don't…" Tohru murmured, trying to cover up her stomach.

"Why? You just got knocked up by some retarded man," Minami gave her a disgusted look.

Tohru shook her head again and squeezed her eyes shut, wishing she had told Hana and Uo to stay with her after all. They would have protected her easily. Nobody ever tried to pick on her with them around. Tohru tightened her hold around her stomach and braced herself for whatever they had planned for her. She let her tears fall freely now. She wasn't completely sure what they were going to do to her, but there was no doubt in her mind that they were planning to do something to her baby too. They were going to take the only child she'd ever have away from her. She could hear them closing in around her, and she could feel two hands wrap around her arms, ready to pull them off of her belly…

"I'm a retarded man?"

Every pair of eyes flew to the owner of that voice with a surprised expression. Tohru's jaw dropped. She knew that voice. Her arms were released out of pure shock, and Tohru immediately pushed herself up into a standing position. Without a second thought, she shoved her way past the Yuki fan club and ran behind Yuki. She hid behind him with a tearstained face that made Yuki's face contort with concern. Yuki hated himself at the moment for going back to sleep when he should have been following her around so things like this wouldn't happen. He knew how his fan club felt about Tohru.

"Are you okay Tohru?" Yuki asked her in a gentle voice.

Tohru shook her head, "N-no… I-I don't want to lose my baby…"

"What happened?"
Tohru opened her mouth to explain, but nothing more than whimpers and sobs would come out. Yuki waited a moment for Tohru to catch her breath, but she couldn't manage to stifle her cries. He touched her arm, trying to calm her down, but relaxing didn't seem to be an option for her at the moment. His expression hardened with anger. Yuki hadn't been around to hear what they had said to Tohru or see what they had done so far, but he could figure out what they were going to do to her.

"What did you do to her?" Yuki questioned in the coolest voice he could manage.

"N-nothing Yuki-kun! She just begged us to help her have an abortion!" Minami squealed.

"And how were you going to help her…? With that?" Yuki continued, staring at the sharpened object in Motoko's hands.

"She insisted! She gave us this tool!" Motoko exclaimed.

Yuki gazed at them skeptically. He didn't know whether he should be offended by what they were saying or amused. Did they really think he was stupid enough to believe that Tohru wanted an abortion? Their eyes even had the words guilty written in them. If they all weren't frail girls, he would have beaten them all up for making Tohru cry like this, but if they had hurt Tohru or their baby… It wouldn't have mattered that they were weak fan girls. He didn't even want to imagine what he would have done to each and every one of them.

"Really! We wouldn't lie to you Yuki-kun!" Minami cried.

"I don't believe you."

"She admitted that she let some foreign idiot have his way with her for 30,000 yen!" Minami shouted.

"That's a real creative story you made up, Minami-san. Have you ever considered being an author? Though next time, I'd prefer if I wasn't portrayed as such a vile man," Yuki said with a smile across his face.

"Er… What do you mean by that Yuki-kun?" Motoko asked.
"Tohru is carrying my baby of course," Yuki told them, still smiling a princely smile.

Minutes flew by with no sound. The Yuki fan club stood there with their eyes wide open and their mouths even larger while Yuki stared back, nonchalantly beaming. Tohru's face was a mirror image of Motoko's. She hadn't expected Yuki to tell them that. Finally, the silence was broken. The tool that was once in Motoko's fingers fell onto the ground with a thump and rolled towards Yuki and Tohru. Tohru, still frightened, flinched and jumped away from the weapon that would have killed her child if Yuki hadn't stepped in.

"W-what?" Minami uttered in disbelief.

"You heard me. Tohru is going to have my baby," Yuki restated.

He shrugged and took Tohru's hand in his, "Come on Tohru… We're already late for gym."

Yuki pulled Tohru down the hallway without another glance back. Tohru stumbled along with him, not bothering to hide her confusion or shock. Seeing those stunned looks across their faces had satisfied him. He chuckled softly to himself after looking at Tohru and checking her for any injury for the fifth time. She didn't look hurt physically. Her mental distress was visible to him through the tears that were still splattered across her cheeks though. Yuki stopped walking long enough to lean over and wipe the tears from her face before he continued. Tohru's heart lurched from his touch, and she had to start talking to keep her heart preoccupied so it wouldn't jump out of her chest.

"Y-Yuki-kun! I t-thought you were asleep," Tohru whispered, too scared to see whether her voice would crack or not.

"Oh… Haru woke me up…"

---

"Wake up sleeping beauty…" Haru spoke from atop Tohru's desk, leisurely swinging his legs back and forth.

Receiving no response, Haru hopped off Tohru's desk and leaned over Yuki. He stood there, observing the sleeping boy, attempting to figure out a way to rouse him. He ran his forefinger and thumb down his chin, "A kiss from a prince is the only thing that'll wake sleeping beauty… Too bad the prince is the one asleep this time… Maybe Honda-san would do… How does that sound to you Yuki?"

Yuki's hand shot up and grasped the collar of Haru's school uniform, "Shut up."

"Speaking of Honda-san… I saw her early with some of the girls from your fan club. I think she was crying," Haru went on without a pause though he was smiling wickedly now, glad to see that his choice of words had done what they were supposed to.

"What?! Why didn't you do anything?" Yuki snapped.

He released Haru's collar and raced out of the room, too eager to help Tohru to wait a minute longer and find out where Haru had seen Tohru. Still, even without a hint to where Tohru was, Yuki found her in less than a minute, partially because the bathroom she had gone to was just several feet away from the classroom and because he could recognize her crying and his fan club's voices.

---

Yuki shook his head, too embarrassed to tell the story to Tohru because of what Haru had said. There was no point in making it awkward between them. Tohru mistook his embarrassed gesture for one of annoyance. She faced the floor, trying to come up with a suitable apology to make up for all the trouble she had caused him, but her brain didn't seem to want to cooperate with her today. Tohru frowned, reluctantly settling for a regular apology, "Umm… Yuki-kun, I'm sorry…"

"For what?"

"For making you come help me and for making you tell them about… our baby…"

"Tohru, you didn't make me do a thing. I did what I wanted to," Yuki assured her.

"B-but your fan club…" Tohru whispered.

"I didn't ask for my own fan club, Tohru. I don't really know much about any of them, and they don't understand me at all… It doesn't matter if I don't have a fan club anymore tomorrow. Maybe a year or two ago I would have cared… But I think I sort of want them to hate me now so they'll leave you alone… So don't worry about it… I did what I wanted to," Yuki repeated.

Tohru turned to face him, tilting her head to the side. She only vaguely understood what he was saying. Most people would be honored to have their own fan club, but here he was, glad to be rid of his. She had to admit that she was happy to hear that he wasn't angry at her for dismantling his fan club. She could see it in their faces. They were almost repulsed at Yuki; they were disgusted because the baby inside of her was his. She doubted they would be worshipping him anymore thanks to her, but what bothered her was that she didn't care. She was almost happy to know that. She wanted to keep Yuki to herself, and that thought made her scold herself. She didn't own Yuki. She couldn't restrain him with petty thoughts like that. Tohru shook her head and gave him a perplexed look.

"Why would it matter a year or two ago but not now?"

"Because two years ago, I hadn't met the girl who accepted me for who I am yet… Two years ago, I didn't know someone who would befriend me, regardless of my flaws…Back then, I didn't know you, Tohru…Before, I needed that fan club to convince myself that someone did care about me…But I have you now…"

"We better get changed for gym now. See you in class, Tohru," Yuki grinned, keeping his response to her question to himself.

Tohru turned her head, surprised to see that the door to the girl's locker room was beside her. By the time she looked up again, Yuki was no longer at her side. He was already half way down the hallway, headed towards the boy's locker room. She glanced down at her watch, her eyes doubling with fright as she realized gym class was halfway over already.
