So sorry for the delay! I've had some trouble thinking of what to write, as well as other stories. However I hope you'll enjoy this chapter!

It took nearly two days for the fever to clear away. Yuki and Kyou did their best to manage the house to some order. Shigure wasn't helping much either. He tried to pester Kyou while he was making dinner only causing him to knock it over in anger, ruining that night's dinner. He got a good whack from Kyou about that one, and he left him alone for a while.
Tohru's friends came to visit for a brief time. Hana-chan brought her some soup and they stayed as she ate, then left shortly after. When Tohru was allowed to be fully mobile she was immediatly in the kitchen experimenting for the festival booth.
She was playing around with making a few traditional noodle dishes when Yuki came into the kitchen. He had just came home earlier then he had all week. Tohru didn't notice him as she was watching the noodles brown.
"Honda-san, what are you making?" He said as he stood beside her. She jumped a little, but was glad to see him. Tohru smiled at him as she gave her reply. "I'm trying out different noodle dishes to see which ones to have in the menu. " She said as she added egg to the frying noodles. "At dinner tonight is where I'll decide which ones to pick."
She gave a quick glance to Yuki and spread another smile before she went back to frying the noodles. Yuki looked over to the side counter and saw nearly 6 different types of noodle dishes already made.
"Um...Honda-san...don't you think there are enough noodle dishes?" He asked with his eyes slightly widend at the amount of noodles.
"This is the last one I'm making, Shigure-san invited Ayame-san and Hatori-san for dinner as well." Tohru informed Yuki.
"Oh..."Yuki said feeling a little angry at Shigure for not telling him earlier. He didn't want to really see his brother at the moment. Yuki was tired from school and just wanted some quiet. "Well, then can I help you finish up then Honda-san?" He asked in a more brighter tone.
She nodded and told him he could hand her the clean dish that was dried in the rack by the sink. He did as she asked and soon all of supper was made and the table was already set before anyone had sat down. Kyou came in from his training and was surprised at the vast amount of noodles for their dinner.
He was also informed about the nights events and was not pleased a bit, the same Yuki had felt. "Damn that dog! He knows we just came back from break..." He swore profanities at Shigure as he went upstairs.
Shigure could here Kyou's voice carry all the way into his study. He came out with his glasses still on and a small smirk. Yuki took a glance over at him and noticed Shigure was enjoying making Kyou getting pissy. He shook his head to the dog's small idea of fun.
The front door slide open and Ayame and Hatori entered. Ayame went ahead of Hatori and immediatly went to Yuki. The face Yuki held for his brother hardly covered his non desire of seeing him. Ayame ignored this and happily greeted his sibling.
"Haa-san said poor Tohru just came over a nasty fever! I hope you helped out to while she was sick ..."Ayame trailed off at the end of the sentence.
Yuki displayed a rather annoyed look. "Of course I helped, it was Shigure trying to push Kyou's buttons that set things behind."
Shigure came up behind Yuki with a pouty face. "I was just trying to keep Kyou in his best character! I was not pushing buttons."
The three of them were blocking the entrance to the room. Hatori and Kyou stood waiting for them to sit down. Reluctant not to talk more with his brother at the moment Ayame sat down followed by Shigure. Yuki made sure it was Hatori who sat near Ayame to keep him in order.
Tohru came out from the kitchen with some tea. She had slight trouble managing to carry all the teacups, but brought them to the table without incident. She was immensly happy for having a few dinner guests. It was also lucky because she made a little too much of the noodles for four people to eat in a sitting.
Dinner occured without much incident. Except when Ayame kept calling Kyou 'Kyon-kyon' it looked as if he would have a vein pop, however Kyou kept his temper in check. Tohru seemed to have spent a lot of time setting and preparing the meal, he didn't wish to ruin it.
When it was time to clear away the dishes, Kyou and Yuki volunteered while the older cousins moved out onto the porch to get out of the way. Hatori and Shigure had lit up their cigarettes and talked quietly while the others went about tidying up.
Kyou and Yuki were drying dishes in the kitchen with Tohru. Both wondered what their cousins were talking about.
"Those three seem to be scheming something."Kyou said as he wiped a bowl dry, even though he had done it enough before for it to be put away. "He's probably telling them about the spring festival that's coming up."Yuki said as he grabbed a new dish towel, his was already sopping wet. "It's nearly the last festival we'll have since we are graduating this year." He said as he finished drying the last plate.
Kyou made a little 'hmpf' noise from being slightly frustrated. "...I still don't like how we get left to clean up all the supper dishes. " Tohru kept quiet during the short conversation between Yuki and Kyou. She slightly was curious herself as to what Shigure and the others were talking about.
============================================
Shortly after they finished the dishes Hatori and Ayame were preparing to leave. Hatori had the excuse of needing to check upon Akito, while Ayame had to finish a few orders needed to be done by the beginning of the following week.
Yuki didn't let out any protest nor did Kyou. The two of them needed to get school work done and Tohru had to catch up on hers. Yuki volunteered upon showing her some of the new material the teacher had given them. When she first looked at it, Yuki could tell she would need all the help she could get.
"I'll help you with this new stuff Honda-san."Yuki said as Tohru sat with a confused look on her face. They were in her room seated at the small table in it. An assignment Uo-chan and Hana had brought her the other day was left unstarted and spread before Tohru.
She had her textbook opened before her on the material she needed to learn to complete the assignment. It was due the coming monday. It was now Friday and Tohru would have one school day to learn it in class.
After she gathered herself again Tohru replied. "Thank you Yuki-kun...I really apreciate your help."She smiled at him, and he returned it to her. Yuki came and sat beside her and started explaining the passage she needed to read. "...and here is where you'll find the answer to help you with question 3..."
Tohru and Yuki went over the material for three hours until she got the basics of it and even completed a few questions of her own. Tohru went downstairs to gather a few simple cakes and tea as a snack while Yuki and her could finish a small section of another subject.
As she brought the tea finally up into her room, she noticed it was quiet. Tohru then noticed that Yuki had fallen asleep on the table with a few books spread about him. She was about to go wake him up when she noticed how restful he seemed.
She could see his face in a more relaxed state then she had over the past week. Smiling she lowered the light in the room and moved some of the books away from him. Tohru placed a light blanket on him and sat across from him.
She took the books and placed them before herself, and was intent to learn the material fully for herself and show Yuki she what she could do. It started to become quieter outside and in the house. Yuki continued to sleep and Tohru studying into the night.
