Chapter fixed.

There was a long silence after. Shigure and Hatori went about fixing the floor whilst Kyo sulked in the corner.

"I-I'll start on lunch!" Tohru announced, merely because she found the silence uncomfortable. She went into the kitchen quickly to start, wondering if she had any food. It took her a few minutes to realise that Yuki had followed her into the kitchen.

"Hello Yuki-kun, do you need something?" She asked, back to her old happy self.

"No Honda-san, I just came to see if you would like any help." Yuki replied, smiling at her.

If he smiled like that in school the Yuki Fan Club would just about die...She thought, laughing slightly. "That would be great Yuki-kun! If you don't mind, of course, would you start cutting the leeks?" She asked him, not wanting to boss him about but grateful for the help.

"Of course Honda-san." He smiled, picking up a knife and the leeks. He placed them on a wooden chopping board and began cutting them into little square pieces. It went back to being silent. Yuki listened as Tohru began humming quietly to herself. It was a slow tune, soft like a lullaby. As she began singing it under her breath, Yuki started to hum the tune.

"What's the name of the song?" He asked quietly.

"Eh?! Y-you were listening!" Tohru said, going bright red under his gaze.

"Don't be embarrassed, you have a lovely voice." Yuki assured her quickly, smiling once again.

"It doesn't have a name....Mum used to sing it too me when I was little." She explained, staring at the rice balls she was making, feeling tears slip down her face.

"Honda-san? I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you upset." Yuki apologized, turning her to face him and wiping away a few of her tears.

Tohru looked at him, her face now glistening with tears. She couldn't speak so merely nodded, wiping her eyes with her apron.

Yuki couldn't help it. He had to tell her. She had to know exactly how he felt.

"Honda-san...if I tell you something will you promise to not laugh?" He asked her, a note of desperation in his voice.

Tohru one again nodded.

"I promise Yuki-kun." She said quietly, wondering what he was going to say.

Yuki took a deep breath, turning to look at her. "Honda-san...I-I lo--"

"Yuki, Hatori wants to see you. He says you need your monthly check-up." Haru said as he walked into the kitchen, stopping Yuki from finishing his sentence. "I'll help Tohru finish off with the lunch."

Yuki glared at Haru but didn't argue. There was something by the way he was watching Yuki and Tohru, by the way he was speaking that made Yuki realize Haru was on the verge of turning black. Without another word, he turned and left the kitchen, leaving Tohru to try and guess what he could have been about to tell her. Soon though, she had given up and turned her attention back to making lunch. Soon it was finished and everyone was sat round the table, a big plate of different flavoured rice balls in the middle.

"This is lovely Tohru. Thank-you for inviting us." Hatori said as they began to eat.

"Yeah Tohru! This is great!" Momiji said, a little to enthusiastically as he reached to get another rice ball, knocking over Kyo's drink.

"Baka rabbit!" Kyo growled, hitting Momiji around the head. He'd been in a bad mood most of the day; these idiots were just making it much worse.

"K-Kyo hit me!" Momiji cried, annoyed.

"Would you both just be quiet, please?" Haru muttered through clenched teeth, staring at his plate. He was trying to stay white, he didn't want to risk hurting Tohru by going black, and even if she would forgive him he would always feel guilty.

"Hatsuharu-san...are you ok?" Tohru asked him quietly, worry colouring her tone. She'd noticed he hadn't seemed...himself recently. She wondered what was wrong...was he ill?

"I'm fine Tohru...Just feel a bit sick. I probably ate too much. It's a wonder Kyo and Yuki are as skinny as they are. I certainly wouldn't be able to turn down your food." He said all this quietly, so that Tohru would be the only one to hear. As he expected, she went a light shade of red at his compliment.

"Th-thank-you Hatsuharu-san...But I'm sure my cooking isn't that good..." She said modestly, watching him.

"Please Tohru, call me Haru. And, you cooking is good." Haru said and smiled. Shigure was right, she was like a tranquilizer. He could feel his black side lose its hold and smiled despite himself. No wonder Yuki and Kyo didn't fight as much. She managed to calm them down.
