Unauthorized Feelings

It was getting close to that time of year again when everyone went out and spent all their hard earned cash on Valentine's Day gifts. Of course, not everyone was that generous. There was always that select few that didn't think anything of this day.

The rays of the sun awoke the sleepy Tohru. She aroused from her night slumber and stretched her arms out. She yawned and slid her legs to the side of the bed. She stood up and rubbed her eyes. She walked to her window and opened the blinds. As she did so, she looked down and saw Shigure sweeping. She smiled and turned to grab her uniform which she hung up every night before school so she could get ready on time.

She opened her bedroom door and bumped into Kyo on her way out. She looked up, hoping he was in a good mood.

"Uh…morning." She said.

He blushed slightly and said, "Yeah…morning."

"Oh…sorry. I didn't mean to bump into you."

Well of course you didn't. No one ever purposely bumps into someone…unless they're asking for a fight. Kyo thought to himself and walked back the other way.

"I'll use the other bathroom."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah…"

She watched him walk down the stairs and then went into the bathroom to prepare herself for school. As soon as she was ready, she rushed downstairs to fix breakfast for everyone.

As soon as she made it to the kitchen, she noticed that Kyo was already making rice balls for himself and everyone else.

"Oh, Kyo. Thank you for helping out." Tohru bowed.

He looked at her and said, "It was nothing. Besides you were taking so long to come down. I didn't want those two to starve." He pointed to Yuki and Shigure who were now watching them.

Yuki walked into the kitchen and demanded, "Be nice to her, cat."

Kyo turned away from him and said, "Tfft."

Kyo went back to making rice balls and Tohru made Yuki's favorite dish. She then prepared tea for Shigure. As they finished up Kyo helped Tohru bring the food in and place it on the table.

"This looks great"

"I wonder…"

"What is it Yuki?" Shigure asked.

Yuki picked up his chopsticks and started eating his food. Kyo mocked, "You look like a girl when you eat!"

Yuki glared at him and ran into the kitchen. He then reentered the room with a leek in between his chopsticks. He stuck it in Kyo's mouth and said, "And you look like a choking cat."

Tohru panicked but couldn't find the right words to say. Shigure put his hand on his shoulder to reassure her that they were only teasing each other again.
