Miscommunication
Yuki came home to find dinner on the table, and a certain cat looking mighty pleased at the table. A surge of jealousy rushed over him. Tohru looked so happy, and that cat had a cheshire grin. Of course, the stoic Yuki let no trace of his emotions enter his face, as he walked to his wife a kissed her on the forehead.
\"Yuki!\" Tohru\'s face was still flushed from laughing so much with Kyo, and she excitedly told Yuki about how she and Kyo had made the rice balls together. Yuki\'s jealousy grew even greater.
Tohru watched as Yuki gracefully sat down at the table, and sipped his tea. She bit her lip, waiting for a reaction.
\"Tohru?\" Yuki asked. \"Why aren\'t there plates for you and Kyo?\"
\"Well, you were so late in coming home, we, well, we went ahead and ate. I hope you aren\'t mad.\" Tohru looked down.
\"No, no, it\'s okay.\" Yuki said. Tohru smiled. He was such a gentleman.
\"Well, Tohru, it\'s been fun, but I have to get going. I\'m taking Kagura to a movie tonight,\" Kyo excused himself. He, unlike the oblivious Tohru, had sensed Yuki\'s discomfort and decided to scram.
\"You\'re taking Kagura out? That\'s so sweet! \" Tohru gushed.
\"Hey. don\'t get any ideas. We\'re not .. together.. or anything. She\'s just to scared to see \"Revenge of the Toad-Monsters\" alone,\" Kyo grumbled.
Tohru giggled again, and walked the neko to the door, still chatting for quite a while before he left.
Yuki miserably forced down the rice balls that another man had made with his wife. He knew he was being ridiculous, and that someone as sweet as Tohru would never cheat, or even harbor an idea of being unfaithful. Despite this, he couldn\'t help feeling dejected. While he had been out in the rain going to every jewelry shp imaginable finding the perfect necklace to match Tohru\'s beauty to give her on their anniversary, she had been laughing and sharing dinner with Kyo.
His fantasy that had repeated in his mind all day, of eating with her and then carrying her upstairs for some gentle loving erased itself as he sat there, damp, eating his cold, pathetic rice balls.
He heard Tohru\'s excited voice float down the hallway, agreeing to meet with Kyo at the same time next week. The same time when Yuki would be conveniently at work. Yuki felt a wave of insecurity incompass him .
All of the Sohma\'s had their demons. Yuki\'s was a continual feeling of disconnect from the people around him. His perfect grace and charm made girls fall in love with him, but he seemed incapable of forming good friends, unlike Kyo. Even though Yuki was a perfect gentleman, this didn\'t put him above jealousy or insecurity. He was just better at hiding it.
Torhu hummed happily as she went back to the kitchen. Yuki rose, and then bowed slightly. \"I\'ve had a long day, and I think I shall go to bed.\"
\"Oh,\" Tohru said, looking at him concerned. \"Is there anything I can do? Do you want to talk?\"
\"No.\" Yuki walked out. Tohru followed at his heels anxiously. She could tell something was wrong. She knelt at his feet as he unbuttoned his shirt. \"Gomen, Yuki. If I have done something wrong, please tell me. I ..I know you only married me because it was convenient and because I accept you, but I do try very hard to be a good wife and to take care of you...\"
She trailed off as Yuki turned his back.
\"Perhaps,\" he said softly, \"that that is the only reason YOU married me, but it was certainly not why I married you.\" He grabbed his coat and walked out, leaving Tohru kneeling on the floor tears rolling down her face.
