AN: I suck... I said I'd have this up on Tuesday or Wednesday... And now it's Friday... At 5:45AM... -le sigh- In any case, he's the next chapter.

Chapter Eighteen- Yet Another Revelation

"You know, Yuki..."

The damned rolled his eyes at his only visitor. "What, Haru?"

I've heard from Sensei that you're Tohru's baby's father."

Yuki's eyes shot open as the Ushi (AN: Ox) pushed a book from Shigure's study into the cage through the bars.

A page was bookmarked, and before he could think twice on it, the Nezumi opened is, and read the recently worse-for-wear page. Gasping, he realized what he'd done.

"Thank you, Haru... could you please leave me... alone... now?"

"Of course, Yuki." he grinned like a flirt, almost a lecher, as he turned the corner to leave the area.

-

Yuki reminisced with anguish, reliving that shock... he's replayed the moment at least a hundred times...

He sighed, and went back to his normal wallowing. It was much less painful.

A whimper sounded through the dark...

-

He gulped as he steadied himself under the extra weight of the Onigiri. "Are you sure you need to tell your gramps today?"

Blinking, Tohru answered. "Yes, why, if I may ask...?"

"Err... having second thoughts on telling your folks..."

Smiling, she replied, "I'll hobble on alone, but I am going, Kyou."

He grinned, giving in, "As if. Come on."

-

"Grandpa? Are you in!" called Tohru. "May I come in please?"

"Kyoko-san... is that you?" called the old man inside.

Kyou blinked. 'Tohru's mom...?"

"Uh... yes, Grandpa!"

The former Neko further confounded himself in trying to sort this out. "Whaa...?"

Opening the door, Tohru smiled at her elder, "Welcome, Kyoko; who's this?"

Kyou was dazed in confusion as she gestured to him, "This is my boyfriend, Kyou."

The addressed snapped to. "Eh? Oh, err, hello Mister... Honda?"

The old man smiled. "Call me what you like."

"Gramps?" Kyou grinned.

"Fine."

Tohru cleared her throat. "Well... I suppose we- I- have something to tell you..."

"Hmm... I'll take a guess... ... ... ... you're pregnant!" he grinned at what he thought was a joke.

Kyou's eyes went wide, "Umm... gramps..."

"How did you know, Grandpa!" the Onigiri exclaimed, shocked at her grandfather's "wit".

"Eh?" blinked the older man. "You really are...?"

Out of nowhere, Tohru's cousin burst into the room. (AN: I don't know his name, but the one that wanted to be a detective or whatever...)

"I knew it!" he began to pace, "It all started when those two boys came to pick you up last year..." he ranted for another five minutes, ending in, "and that's how I knew she was a criminal!"

Tohru's grandfather sighed, "Getting pregnant isn't illegal..."

Kyou bristled, "It's not even mine..."

Both other men turned, "Huh?"

AN: Okay, I'd write something interesting here, but I need to sleep/keep working on a school thing...
