“Damn it…I hate the rain.” Kyou muttered as he walked supporting his weight against Yuki.

“Don’t worry Kyou we’ll be home soon. A hot bath and some tea will make you feel better.” Tohru said trying to keep them all dry under her umbrella.

Kyou rubbed his face and stopped. “I need to sit down.”

“There’s a bus stop right there. We can sit on the bench.” Yuki supported Kyou and hobbled him over to the bench which was set under a canopy.

Kyou took a seat and coughed. Tohru took a seat next to him and placed her hand on his shoulder. “Maybe we should take you to the main house to get some medicine.”

“No, I’ll be fine.” He said coughing again.

“How about you transform. I can carry you the rest of the way.” Tohru suggested.

“Are you crazy., it bad enough I have to walk under that sissy pink umbrella.”

“Kyou , stop being an asshole. Be happy that you even have someone to care about you. If it were up to me I would have left you.” Yuki said with his back turned to them.

“Then why are you here? Why don’t you go home?”

Yuki turned around and walked up to him, “Miss Honda can’t carry you on her own.”

“Please don’t fight, why do you have to fight all the time. You’re family, you’re not suppose to fight!!” Tohru yelled.

“Miss Honda…I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to upset you.”

“Yeah I’m sorry too.”

“Do you guys need a ride?”

They turned their attention to a man dressed in a suit, sticking his head through the window.

“Damn it Shigure why are you here?”

“Well, I just came from a book signing. Come on let’s go.” Shigure got out the car opening the door and helping them get Kyou into the back seat.

Shigure and Yuki sat at the table watching T.V. Tohru came back into the room and sat down next to Yuki.

“How’s Kyou?” Shigure asked.

“I took him some tea, but he was asleep.”

“I don’t why he didn’t stay home today. He’s knows he gets weak when the weather’s like this. Now I’m going to smell like Kyou. I’m going to take a shower.” He got up from the table and when to his room.

Tohru placed her head on the table and closed her eyes.

“Tired?” Shigure asked moving over next to her.

“Yeah, we had a really busy day.”

“What happened?”

“We had a pop quiz in math, and I don’t understand this chapter at all. The Haru turned black and beat up the class president again. Momiji was bouncing of the wall. And top of Kyou being sick he was arguing with Yuki all day.”

“I see, maybe you should go to bed also.”

“Oh no I can’t. I have to cook dinner.”

“We can order out.”

“No I’m going to make some sushi. I have to use the fish tonight.”

“I can help you.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, you’re been working really hard. You need some help around the house. Oh, that reminds me, your grandfather called today. He said you didn’t make you payments for this month. So I told him I‘d take care of it.”

“Oh, Shigure why did you do that. I don’t want to take your money. You’ve already given me enough I can’t take anymore. I’ll pay you back by the end of the month.” Tohru said franticly shaking her head.

“No, no it’s alright you don’t have to pay me back.” He said smiling.

“But Shigure…” She said throwing herself onto him. Next thing she knew she was holding onto a dog.

“Shigure…I’m so sorry.” She said turning her back to him.

“It alright.” He said.

Later that month

Yuki was at a school meeting and Kyou was off training somewhere with Haru. Shigure was in his study and Tohru was cleaning around the house.

After a few hours Tohru had finished cleaning and decided to make some miso and pot stickers. She put everything on a tray and carried it to Shigure’s study.

“Shigure, can I come in?”

“Sure.”

She opened the door and brought in the tray. “I made some lunch for us.” She said sitting it down next to him and handed him a bowl of miso.

He drank some of the broth and pushed some noodles and cabbage into his mouth. “This is really good, I was hungry.” He said taking a pot sticker and dipping it into some soy sauce.

“I’m glad you like it. It’s a new recipe I wanted to try.”

Shigure filled his face as Tohru went online an checked her email. After he finished she collected the dishes and left. As she was headed towards the kitchen the door bell rang. She placed the tray on the table and answered it.

“Kagura, Hi.”

“Hi Tohru is Kyou home?”

“No he’s not. He training with Haru, but he’ll be back later.”

“Do you mind if I wait?”

“No, come in, I was getting ready to do the dishes.”

“Oh, I help you then.”

“Okay, would you like anything it eat first.”

“No, Hatori took me to me out eat.”

Tohru and Kagura went to the kitchen and started to cleaning.

“Tohru…can I ask you a question?”

“Uh, okay.”

“Why don’t you have a boyfriend?”

“Uh…I don’t know.”

“Do you have a crush on anyone?”

Tohru looked at the dish water and blushed. “Yeah, but I can’t tell you because you’ll laugh, or you’ll think I’m weird.”

“No I won’t please tell me.”

“You promise?”

Kagura nodded.

Tohru looked around and whispered in Kagura’s ear. “I kind of have a crush on Haru.” She turned bright red and began washing the dishes again.

“Really, that’s so cute!”

“Shhh!….I don’t want anyone to know.”

“Why not?”

“But Haru is younger than me?”

“Just by a few months.?”

“Yeah.”

“Well then there’s nothing wrong.”

“I can’t act on it though. Haru likes Rin. It would just be weird, plus what would the others think?”

“They aren‘t together anymore, they haven‘t been for years.”

“Do you think I should tell him?”

“Why not. I think Haru has always had a thing for you. He just never acted because he knew Yuki and Kyo would try to kill him.”

“Really?” She said handing a plate to her.

“Yeah.”

“I’m hungry what did’ya make?”

“That’s rude she’s not your maid.”

Kagura and Tohru went into the dining room to find Yuki, Kyo, and Haru walk in.
“Kyou?”

“Oh Damn it.” He turned to run but Kagura grabbed him and hugged him to the point of suffocation.

“My love, I’ve missed you, you always run off. WHY DON’T YOU EVER TELL ME YOUR LEAVING!!!!!!!”

“Hi Tohru.” Haru said walking over to her and kissing her on the cheek. “How are you?”

“I’m good, how are you?” He said smiling slyly.

“Good, now that I got to see you.” He said smiling at her.

“Are you guys hungry. I made some miso and pot stickers.” She said trying to change the subject and keep from blushing.

“I HATE MISO, WHY DO YOU ALWAYS COOK IT!!!!” Kyo yelled.

“KYO!!!” Kagura picked him up and spun him around. “TOHRU WORKS HARD TO TAKE CARE OF YOU, BE RESPECTFUL!!!!” She let go and he flew through the rice paper door.

“What’s going on.” Shigure said running in the living room. “Uh…my house, why do you always tear up my house. You know the main house isn’t going to foot the bill anymore.” Shigure said crying.

A/N: Well what did you think. I hope it was to bad. Please review telling me what you think.
