Chapter Two - The Tohru She Hides

“Are you sure you don't need anything while I'm out?”

“Nothing that I can think of Tohru. You just go out and enjoy your day off.”

She playfully scowled at Hatori who had come to get away from the Main House and give Yuki his monthly check up. It had been her last fever three weeks ago that had made him order that she take Thursdays and Saturdays off each week, meaning no working at Momiji's father's office building, no cooking or household chores.

Only after Kyo had volunteered to do her chores on her days off had she given in knowing she wouldn't win in an argument with Kyo when it came to her well being. “How about you Hatori? Do you want me to get anything for you while I'm out?”

“No thank you Tohru.”

“Alright. Call me on my mobile if you need anything.”

“We will. Now get going and enjoy yourself.”

“Alright. I'll bring tacos home for dinner.” She pulled her shoes on before walking out into the heated summer air. There were only a couple of weeks before summer vacation and she had already been told that the Cursed Sohmas and Kazuma were taking her to one of the summer villas again and were this time inviting Arisa and Saki to go with them.

She hurried down the path, not wanting the two boys, one she loved as a brother and the other as more, to follow her and find out the secret she kept from everyone.

 

Kyo sighed as he finally finished folding the laundry and sorting it out into four piles, his, Tohru's, Shigure's and Yuki's. He'd taken extra care with anything and everything that belonged to Tohru, treating them as he treated her when they were alone, respectfully and like precious objects. Having put the piles in their respective rooms, he crossed the laundry of the list that Tohru had made for him and looked at what was left.

“Floors, recycling, bathrooms, groceries…man, no wonder Tohru wears herself out. I'm going to have to work a schedule out for her.”

He didn't notice Hatori and Shigure watching him with interest as he spoke to himself.

 

She pushed the door of the gothic looking shop open, smirking at the small bell tinkling as the door opened and closed.

“We're closed in case ya can't bloody…oh! Sorry Kitten Onigiri, didn't realise it was you.”

“I gathered that much. It's been a while hasn't White Wolf?”

“Yeah. So how's livin' with those men treatin' ya?”

“They're treating me just fine. Listen, I need you to have ready a whole new summer wardrobe for me by the end of the school term. I'm going to start revealing my true nature slowly and I'll need you do design a new wardrobe for me to do that. Also I need you to have Royal Hawk do some dig on a guy called Rei Sohma. I'll except that info to be ready by the same time.”

“Just the standard stuff?”

“No. The whole shebang. Something about him does sit right with me, I don't trust him and I've never been wrong in my judgement yet.”

“I'll agree with that. Alright, let me take down your measurements then I'll get started.” He quickly took her measurements, writing them down in a VAPD. “Oh and for you it's only forty percent of the normal cost.”

“You're spoiling me. Anyway, I have get going. I told Shigure I'd bring tacos home for dinner and that we're having several others over as well.”

“Alright. Watch yourself out there.”

“Relax. I'm one of the top Yankee Elite remember?”

He chuckled as she left.
