Kyo's P.O.V.

The first week at Shigure's was hell for me, I spent most of the time clearing the storage from my room and moving my stuff in, the rest was spent hearing Tohru and that damn rat talking downstairs. I wanted to punch that arrogant ass in his smug face but, Tohru's sweet laugh wafting up from the kitchen below kept the urges at bay. I was here for her, only her, I wanted to do anything I could to earn her back, to let her know I still loved her.

I tried to talk to her between meals, and she'd respond to what I said but that was it, she wouldn't ask questions, wouldn't express interest, our conversations consisted of me trying to get her to actually converse with me and her responding. Tohru was clearly awkward around me, she'd hold her hands to her chest and hang her head down as if I was scolding her nothing made me feel worse than this. My once lively and pure Tohru was now sheepish and docile, I caused this, I took away that purity, at least from myself, and I had to find a way to win it back. I needed to talk to her.

Yuki's P.O.V.

Tohru and I spent a lot of our time talking, about work, about plants, food, anything to keep her mind off Kyo for the time being. I could see she wasn't comfortable around him, and I dreaded the day she was. I don't know the extent of their previous relationship, I don't know of the significance he holds in her heart. I do know that school starts up again soon and Tohru will be out of the house almost everyday. I myself start work again soon, and that means Tohru will be alone with Kyo much more than I'm comfortable with.

"Hey Yuki...what is it that you do if you don't mind me asking?, Tohru once again broke through my musings. I had coaxed her into talking about herself so much that I'd neglected to tell her about myself. "I work for a software design company, our office has been out of commission due to renovations, they should be done in about a week though." Tohru's face beamed, "That's so cool Yuki! Do you build robots and spaceships, and top secret government stuff?! Oh, well I guess you couldn't tell me that, but it'd be cool if you did…". Oh god, why was she so damn cute? I could feel my own face heat up as I told her "No, I don't do things as cool as that, I have helped program software for robots before though, I'm not qualified enough to build spaceships though." "Well Yuki, I think that's amazing. I have to get to sleep soon though, I have to write lesson plans tomorrow, so goodnight!". As Tohru ascended upstairs I started prepping for a bath, with a newly rekindled love for my job.

Tohru's P.O.V.

I felt at ease as I headed upstairs, talking to Yuki really calms me down, he always knows what to say when I'm feeling down. As I turned the corner to my room, I noticed Kyo's light was still on, he must be so tired from moving all day, I really wish I could talk to him...but I keep getting all choked up and shy when he approaches me. I don't want to keep being distant but I feel a pang in my heart everytime I hear his voice. I stepped into my room,humming quietly, and settled into my favorite pair of striped pajamas, and as I slipped into bed, I heard Kyo leave his room, and then the sound of a shower starting. He must be taking a shower, I'm glad he's taking care of himself. I slowly started drifting to sleep then heard a knock on my door, "Hey Tohru…"
