Chapter 1: Being Watched

By Tainted InuShemeeko

##Intro a.k.a Summary##

Hi my name is Tohru Honda, and I've been living with members of the Sohma family for sometime now. I guess I should get back to the point now. I never thought of ever having to deal with a secret like the Sohma's. This spring it looks like I'm going to learn a little bit about my family then I ever knew before.

What? I have a cousin who also knows about the Sohma's curse how could that be? Kei, what did you mean you use to go to school with Shigure Sohma? Now I know I want to know what's going on. Uh, Yuki, Akito Sohma sure has been looking at me strangely. I wonder why?

Tohru sighed as she made her way down the hallway; she was exhausted. The only problem was that she still had to go to work tonight. She hoped she'd make it through. A soft gentle voice knocked Tohru from her thoughts, causing her to look wearily up at them.

“Miss Honda?”

“Yes?”

Tohru's blue eyes widened as she realized who it was.

“Oh Yuki hi, I didn't realize it was you.”

Deep concern shimmered in his violet eyes as he looked at her.

“Tohru you look tired, perhaps I should walk you home so then you can get some rest.”

Tohru's face fell as she quickly held her hands up in front of her.

“Oh no, no I'm just fine. Yep that's me full of energy and ready for anything. Well I have to go to work now, so I'll see you at home later.”

Yuki was speechless as he watched Tohru hurry down the hallway.

`Where does she get all of that energy from? A few minutes ago I was sure she was going to fall asleep on her feet.'

“Ah, Yuki you're home and where is our wonderful, beautiful young Miss Tohru? Her smiling face always seems to brighten my day.”

Yuki sighed and was about to answer when Kyo spoke up for him.

“Shigure, don't tell me you're that much of an idiot. She went to work, of course, where else would she go? Jeez, I can't believe I have to live with a lame brain like you.”

Shigure rubbed the back of his head as he laughed lightly.

“Ah yes, of course, how silly of me, and to think I almost forgot.”

Both Kyo and Yuki narrowed their eyes at Shigure, right before they both sighed. Kyo was the first one to speak up.

“Oh brother, and to think I'm suck here with you two clowns. I'd rather be somewhere listening to Tohru talk, then be here listening to you Shigure.”

Yuki sighed as he slowly spit out words he thought he would never say.

“For once Kyo, I will have to agree with you. Listening to Miss Honda talk would be much better than listening to Shigure spew his nonsense. However, the only two clowns I see are the two of you.”

Kyo balled his hands up into fist as he jumped up from the table and glared at Yuki.

“You calling me a clown, rat boy?”

A small smirk slowly crawled on to Yuki's lips as his calm violet eyes locked with Kyo's maroon ones.

“Why yes, I believe I am, for a creature as foolish as you surly must be one.”

Kyo tried his best to keep his temper in check. Unfortunately, whenever his anger involved Yuki, he always seemed to fail.

“That's it, pretty boy. I'm going to mop the floor with your face this time. I'm going to mess it up so bad this time even those little fan club girls of yours will run away from you.”

Shigure held his hands up in defense.

“Now, now Kyo, remember deep calming breaths. We're trying to control our temper, not lose control over it, now aren't we?”

“If rat boy over there would just shut up, I wouldn't get so pissed at him”

Yuki pulled in a slow breath before he spoke.

“I see, so now it's my fault that, that stupid cat can't control his temper?”

Kyo growled at Yuki right before he charged at him, Shigure's face drooped as he watched the two boys go at each other.

“Yuki, you really aren't helping the matter very much.”

Shigure sighed at the loud crashing sound as Kyo went through the wall. A few minutes later there was another loud crash as Kyo flew through the rice paper door, and landed up against the wall beside where Shigure was sitting.

“My poor beautiful house, I'm starting to believe that the only reason the two of you fight is so you can destroy it.”

Yuki looked down at the unconscious heap that was Kyo.

“I do apologize. However, if that foolish cat could actually control himself there would be no reason for us to fight, now would there?”

Shigure looked up from his writing to answer Yuki.

“Indeed, I do believe you have a point however, I can't help but wonder if not fighting with Kyo would truly make you happy?”

Yuki turned two cold looking eyes at Shigure.

“How can you even ask me such a ridiculous thing? Why would I enjoy beating that cat around?”

Shigure shrugged his shoulders as his brown eyes looked over at Yuki.

“No reason really, just a feeling I have is all.”

He then went back to his writing; Shigure then lifted his head to look at the two boys.

“It's getting rather late. Shouldn't have one of you two gone to pick Tohru up by now?”

Tohru clutched her bag tighter in her hands; this was the first time in a long time that she couldn't help but wonder why Yuki of Kyo hadn't come to walk home with her.

“Oh well, that's ok maybe they were busy.”

She then sighed as a thought came to her.

`Then again the two of them are probably fighting again and that's why no one came to get me. Maybe I was hoping for to much, to wish the two of them could get along better.'

Tohru continued her slow pace back to Shigure's home.

`Oh mom, I overdid it again. I'm so tired, with all of the school work I've been doing; plus the late hours I've been putting in at work, I almost don't have enough time to sleep. Oh well, I'm pretty sure that you have to work harder then I do.'

Tohru smiled as Shigure's house came into view.

“Just a few more steps and then I'll be lying in my nice comfy bed.”

Just as Tohru reached the door a wave of dizziness over came her.

“Well, that's strange. I wonder why I'm so dizzy all of a sudden...”

However before she was able to take another step she collapsed and fell onto the ground in front of the house. Yuki's head turned at a sound coming from the door.

“I believe Miss Honda is home now.”

They all waited a few minutes for Tohru to enter the room. In which she never did, this only helped in worrying the three men even more.

“Hey rat boy, I thought you said Tohru was home. It sure doesn't look that way to me. I'm going upstairs.”

Shigure stood up and watched as Kyo started up the stairs.

“You know Yuki it is rather strange that Tohru isn't home by now. Would you like me to accompany you while you go look for her?”

Yuki stood in the doorway of the living room as he turned to look at Shigure, his bright violet eyes locking with his brown.

“No thank you. I believe I will be fine. I do hope that Miss Honda is all right.”

Shigure nodded his head in agreement.

“As do I Yuki, as do I.”

Yuki made his way to the front door and gasped as he pulled the door open.

“Miss Honda? Shigure come quick! It's Miss Honda.”

Shigure made his way to the door and was startled just as much as Yuki had been, for there, laying there on the ground only inches away from the door, was Tohru.

“It would seem that Tohru has once again over worked herself. Here Yuki, I'll help you get her inside.”

Shigure frowned at Tohru's unconscious body as he lifted her up by supporting her left side. His left hand then brushed against her forehead.

“It would also appear that Tohru once again has a fever. Careful now it wouldn't do us any good if one of us transforms while we are trying to get her inside.”

Yuki nodded as he grabbed a hold of Tohru's right arm and slowly help Shigure carry her inside. They were nearly inside when Yuki turned quickly and looked out the doorway his eyes then narrowed, causing Shigure to look over at him.

“Yuki what is it? What's wrong?”

“We're being watched, Shigure, I can feel it.”

Shigure glanced out in the direction that Yuki was looking.

“That may be very true in many ways; however I believe Tohru's well being is all that we should be worrying about right now. Kyo, could you come down here for a minute. We seem to have a little bit of a problem.”

A few minutes later, Kyo was standing at the bottom of the steps.

“What the hell do you two want now?”

His deep maroon eyes then took in Tohru's lifeless form being held up by the two, each trying to keep their distance of getting to close to her.

“What the hell happened to her? Is she sick or something?”

Shigure was the one who answered.

“Yes I fear that she is indeed very sick. She has a very high fever; I realize that Hatori doesn't really take in patients who are not of the Sohma family. However, I wonder, in Tohru case if he will make an exception. I will call him as soon as we get Tohru into bed.”

He then looked at Kyo.

“Kyo would you mind locking the doors and then getting some ice for Tohru?”

“Yeah, sure, whatever you want.”

Kyo glanced out the door way as he pulled it shut.

`Man, I think the hair on the back of my neck just stood on end, and I got this eerie feeling that something is watching us. Whatever it is, it better stay the hell away.'
