Tohru woke up the next morning to the bright sunlight out of their bedroom window. Kyo was clutching her close. She looked over at him and smiled. He looked so peaceful, so she decided not to wake him, as he never looks peaceful during the day.

She felt her stomach growl and thought she'd better make breakfast. She tried to roll Kyo off her. He mumbled something and flipped over.

She was getting ready to stand up when Kyo started talking.

"Wrong way." He mumbled. Tohru looked at him confused.

"Like this idiot." He said flipping over so that his head was face down on the pillow.

"Kyo?" Tohru asked concerned.

"No! It's Master to you! Mr. Master." Kyo mumbled against the pillow.

"Kyo? What are you saying? Are you okay?" Tohru asked. She reached out and lightly touched his shoulder with her hand. He didn't move.

"Master! Master! Master!" He chanted. Tohru touched his shoulder again and he still didn't move.

"Kyo?" She asked shaking his shoulder this time.

"WHAT!" He jumped up yelling. He stumbled backwards, hit his head on the dresser, and fell to the floor.

"Kyo!" Tohru yelled running over to help him.

He sat up slowly rubbing his head.

"When did I ask for a wake up call?" He grumbled.

"You didn't ask for one. You were talking in your sleep and I was worried." Tohru said as she helped him to his feet.

"I don't talk in my sleep." Kyo said.

"Yes, you do. You were telling someone to call you 'Master'. 'Mr. Master' if I remember correctly." Tohru said.

"I don't talk in my sleep." Kyo said again.

"Yes you do." Tohru said. Kyo just shook his head and followed Tohru downstairs.

She started making the breakfast.

"Fine. Okay? I'm sorry. I talk in my sleep." Kyo said.

"Huh?" Tohru asked turning around.

"I said I believe you. If you say I talk in my sleep, then I talk in my sleep." Kyo said.

"Oh. Okay." Tohru said finishing the breakfast and placing it on the table.

They ate in silence, Kyo shoveling his food and Tohru just nibbling hers.

Kyo finished first and put his plate in the sink.

"Hey. Do you want to come over to Shigure's with me? While I'm training him, you can show Akito your art work." Kyo suggested.

"I guess this is as good a time as any." She said. She finished the last bite on her plate and put her plate in the sink.

"Well, yeah. I could help you take them over there." He said.

"Okay." She said.

"We have to get going. It's almost six thirty." Kyo said. Tohru nodded and ran upstairs to get her paintings.

She returned a few minutes later with the paintings in slipcovers.

"Ready?" He asked. She nodded and went to get her shoes. He followed and opened the door. She stepped outside.

"Tohru? Are you okay?" He asked when they were half way to Shigure and Akito's.

"Y-yes. W-why do you a-ask?" She asked.

"You're nervous. I can tell because you're shaking." He said stepping in front of her and putting his hands on her shoulders.

"I-I'm not ner-nervous." She said. He gave her a quizzical look.

"Yes, you are. Tohru, It's okay. Akito isn't that picky." Kyo said.

"But you said she liked art. She has to have preferences." Tohru said.

Kyo didn't respond. He pulled her over to the trees that lined the sidewalk. He leaned in and gave her a reassuring kiss.

"She'll love them. Believe me?" He asked.

"Y-yes." Tohru stammered.

"No, you don't." Kyo said.

"Y-yes I do." Tohru said.

"Just let me reassure you again. Just to be sure." Kyo said. He leaned in again and gave her another kiss. This one was a little longer.

"Feel reassured?" He asked her. She blushed and nodded. He took her hand and led her back to the sidewalk.

They continued on their way to Shigure's house. When they reached the front porch Kyo knocked.

"Um, Kyo?" Tohru asked. Kyo picked up on the insecurity in her voice.

"Need to be reassured again?" He asked turning around. She blushed a deep red and nodded.

He gave her a kiss and the front door opened.

"Smile Master!" Shigure said snapping a picture of them.

"What is your problem stupid dog!" Kyo yelled as he turned around.

"You told me yesterday that a student should always be prepared for his master. I was prepared." Shigure said.

"He got you there." Yuki commented stepping up beside the older man.

"Who asked you?!" Kyo yelled at Yuki.

Instead of answering Kyo's questions, Yuki directed on at Tohru.

"What brings you here today?" Yuki asked Tohru.

"I'm here to show Akito some paintings." She said.

"Paintings?" Yuki asked. Tohru beamed.

"Yes! I was painting yesterday, and the day before, and Kyo said I should bring them to Akito to see what she thinks." Tohru said.

"Kyo has an eye for art? Will the wonders of this amazing planet we call Earth, our home, never cease?" Shigure asked dramatically.

Kyo and Tohru stepped inside. Kyo, Shigure, and Yuki went outside to the backyard to train. Well, Yuki went to watch and laugh at Kyo's mistakes.

Tohru sat on the couch in the living room with Akito.

"I understand you have paintings to show me." Akito said when she'd taken a seat.

"Um, yeah. I just started painting, but Kyo said I should show you. He said you have an artistic eye." Tohru said. Akito smiled.

"Yes I do. Well, let's see what you have." Akito said pointing to Tohru's side, where the paintings were still in their protective covers.

"Um, well, I only have two, but, well, here." Tohru said picking up one of them, slipping the cover off, and handing it to Akito.

Akito held the one of the sunrise in her arms. She looked it over carefully, examining every centimeter of the art.

"Well, Tohru. You certainly have a gift. You say you've never had training?" Akito asked.

"Yes, that's correct. I just started it as a hobby." She replied modestly.

"Well, I certainly love this painting. Can I see the other one?" Akito asked with a smile. She handed Tohru back the first one of the sunrise.

"Of course." Tohru said replacing the cover on the sunrise one and taking the one off the cottage one. She looked it over before handing it to Akito.

Akito took it and smiled a huge smile.

"My, my Tohru. You certainly have a wonderful gift. How much are you selling these for?" Akito asked.

"I hadn't really thought about price yet." Tohru said.

"Well, I'm prepared to offer you 5 398.50805 for this one." Akito said. (AN: 5398.50805 Yen= 55 U.S. Dollars.)

"That's too much." Tohru said.

"Nonsense. This is exactly what it's worth, if not more. Honestly Tohru. These are great." Akito grabbed her checkbook and wrote a quick check. She handed it to Tohru just as the three guys walked back into the room.

"Look at what I just bought Shigure." Akito said holding up the painting.

"Akito, honey, I don't mean to deny you things, but sweetie, that looks expensive." Shigure said.

"Only 5398.50805 Yen." Akito said. Shigure's mouth dropped.

"That's it?" He asked shocked.

"That's all you sold it for?" Kyo asked looking at Tohru.

"Tohru made that and sold it?" Yuki asked completely oblivious to what was happening.

"Yes she made it. Oh and Tohru, how many more can you make?" Akito asked.

"Um, I never really thought about it." She said.

"So, does that mean as many as I want?" Akito asked.

"I guess so." Tohru said.

"Oh no! God help us all! She's gone and done it now!" Shigure cried as Akito smiled.
