A Worried Chef (sorry Yuki!)

[Tohru]

(( Yuki and I had this thread started on furubarocks and I said I'd move it here; then I forgot about it so... here it is!! I'm really sorry about not posting it for so long... I'm sorta worried Yuki left us... I"M SORRY!!! ))

Tohru stared down at the dishes she was scrubbing without thinking
about them. That cold feeling had begun to spread through her
stomach again. 'What will I do when when high school is over? Will
I be able to get a good job? And where will live? I can't stay here
forever...' She could feel the tears rising in her eyes. 'And mom
won't be there to help...' A tear fell down her cheek and she
angrily threw the dishtowel into the sink. 'NO! I CAN'T let myself
be sad! I've got to keep working my hardest or I'll never be able to
do anything!' She sighed softly as she searched for the dishtowel in
the soapy water. "But I won't get anywhere if I don't finish these
dishes..," she mumbled aloud. She glanced toward the door. It would
be so embarrassing if someone walked in on her while she was having
one of her internal battles. She knew that her facial expression
must change every few seconds. Oh, why do I have to be so...-she
searched for the right word-... expressive? She put her mind back to
the task before her, but presently her mind began to drift again.
She thought about how she was planning to invite Kisa over and maybe
Hiro if he would come. 'He really is a sweet boy. He just needs
someone to understand.' She also thought about how to help Momiji
feel better about his mother- 'He's grown so tall lately!' - and
about how she was so happy Yuki was so much more cheerful than he
used to be. Her mind wandered over how to make each and every one of
the jyuunishi ((zodiac members)) happier. She came to Kyo. A slight
blush made her cheeks glow. 'Well I'm making that scarf for when it
gets cold again...' Suddenly her face grew pale and her hands began
to shake. 'B-but he won't get much use out of it will he..?' She
felt tears rising again. This time she she couldn't stop them no
matter how hard she tried. She dropped the pot in her hands, which
narrowly missed her foot, and fell onto her knees, sobbing violently.

YUKI:

Yuki had awoke that morning slightly later than usual. He had a late
Friday night being he was planning the next big event with the
student council he was not a part of. He threw on a casual white t-
shirt and his black jeans as he yawned a bit, hopping around putting
gone leg in at a time. He went to the bathroom and looked at himself
in the mirror as he yawned again. He thought to himself, `Man, I am
not a morning person.' He then rubbed his eyes and then grabbed for
the toothbrush and paste.

As he was almost finished brushing his teeth he heard a sound from
downstairs that made him jump slightly. He shut off the water and
held his brush in his mouth as he reached for the bathroom door and
opened it, sticking his head about and listening. It was the sound of
a pot rolling around on the kitchen floor. He immediately thought to
himself as he said out loud! "Tohru!"

He hurriedly spit out his contents in his mouth in the sink and
quickly threw his tooth brush on the counter and then out the door he
was, running down the stairs and to the kitchen door as he hurriedly
opened it with wide worried eyes looking to her as she wept on her
knees. He immediately shot himself to the floor as he gently grabbed
her arm looking at her all worried and concerned as his gentile voice
erupted before her. "Tohru, are you ok? Why are you crying? What
happened?" He looked around, trying to see what made her fall and cry
this time and instantly a thought hit his head that included two
pointed ears upon an orange head…cat." His expressions went bleak and
angered as he closed his eyes and shook a little in his anger,
letting her arm go as he called out angry. "KYOU!!!" He then spoke
somewhat quieter though still angered as he opened his eyes looking
from Tohru to where he might enter, standing to his feet with fists
clenched. "What did you say to her this time!"

(( We were sorta waiting for Kyo *coughJESScough* to join the thread. JESS. And I know that she's busy. JESS. But I'd really appreciate it if she would reply. JESS. ))

((wow fine but do i really have to read it? why do you guys post so much at once?!?!?)) ((Okay I finally read it all i'm ready to post... what to say, what to say...))

*Kyo went downstairs as the sound of his name echoed up the stairs to his room* "Wha?" *Kyo couldn't find enough energy in himself this morning to ask what Yuki wanted.* "What did you call me down here for? I was still asleep, damn Rat! I didn't say anything to her" *Kyo had remembered what else Yuki said after calling his name*

((There happy?? *coughKATIEcough* your turn or should i be doing the *coughYUKIcough*?? (i don't know Yuki's real name... or do I??) i prolly do... oh well i'll find it sometime...))
