Her eyes widened. How dare the Jyuunishi accept her, much less agree with her about anything! Akito was clearly delirious when he declared her new head until the next God was born. [ WOAH. Did you mean Yuki's mom as temp. head, or Tohru? Either way. HAHAHAH. That's awesome. ] Tohru gasped and fell backwards, landing on the ground with a loud smack. "Where is my son?! What is the meaning of this?!" said a woman who had stormed into the room as Tohru had fallen. She gaped at her rather unattractively. Yuki's mother?

Damn, just when I had him.
Kyo was quite frustrated at the fact that he had not gotten any answers, but he knew better than to say anything against the Sohma family with Yuki's mother in the room. He quietly faded into the back of the room, hoping to avoid a scene with Sohma-san, but wanted to hear what was going to be said.

[She did mean Tohru when she referred to the Sohma head. Remember Akito's dying wish.
Oh, and what on earth is this woman's name? I have no idea.]
"You sniveling, cowardly dog, I have no time for you. You kidnap my son and take him hostage? You dare to pull him away from his beloved Akito's side? How dare you. How dare you torment my son so! You, no--" she points to Shigure at first, but changes her mind and points to Tohru, "--you shall take me to him. Immediately!" she steps out of the doorway, glaring at the dog. Pitiful creature, her eyes seemed to say, still running away from the world, are we?

"I- uh- b-," he tried to form words, but they merely came out as sputters. "Anon, uh, I believe that Yuki-kun has...just finish bathing and he, and he probably isn't ready yet. So I'll go fetch him and you just make yourself comfortable and Tohru-kun can bring you some tea," a nervous smile rested on his lips. Shigure turned to started making his way past Yuki's mother toward the stairs.

"Be quick about it!" she shouted after Shigure. She then looked around the office and stared at Tohru. Her eyes narrowed, "There is no place for me to sit here. You will take me to a comfortable table. It will be clean. You will do it now. And where is my tea?!"
Yuki's mother was usually much more complacent than this, she knew. But Akito's death (and the rumors that Tohru replaced him) had shaken her high family status. She no longer had influence via her pathetic, indecisive son. The whole world came crashing down with the news of the poor child's death.
Thoughts like these only made her more angry. She tapped her foot and shifted her gaze to Kyo. She made a face, "Oh. I shall not be in the same room as you. I might breathe your air. I shall wait for my tea, girl, but not for long. Be quick."
She spun around and left the room, making her way to the dining area.

[ Ah, Akito did? I must have forgotten...my memory is so horrible! ]
"O-Of course!" Tohru said, not letting herself time to think as she spun around towards the kitchen, hands shaking.
She walked very quickly towards the kitchen door, reaching for a tea kettle. She had decided against making a microwave cup to boil the water because she thought that someone like Yuki's mother would be able to tell the difference. Her logical mind was thrown out the window, thinking only a super human woman would be able to tell the difference between microwave boiled and stove boiled (and when has Tohru been very logical anyway?).
Tohru poured water into the tea kettle and settled it onto the stove, turning the gas onto high and waiting anxiously for it to start screeching. After what felt like hours to her, the characteristic screeching and shaking of the tea kettle shook her from her half day dreaming state, and she pulled it off, pouring it into a tea cup.
Unsure what kind of tea Yuki's mother enjoyed, she grabbed nearly five different flavored packages and walked into the dining area.
"Your tea is done!" she said, plastering a smile on her face. "I didn't know what, um, flavor you wanted...so I took five. I hope you don't mind...there's new Western flavors like...blueberry, raspberry...then just regular black and green tea. The name on the other bag wore off so I'm not sure what it is."
She waited patiently for Yuki's mother to choose, the smile still on her face, though her insides were twisting violently.

Shigure moved quickly up the stairs. Why did that women have to come, now?! Of all times. Cowardly dog. Sigh.
Reaching the top of the stairs, Shigure walked to the door of Yuki's room. Opening it slowly he glanced in. "Yuki-kun?" Walking in he quietly shut the door behind him. He stood with his back against the door looking at Yuki on his bed, trying to decide what was the best action to take. Or at least the best action for him...

[Gah. Didn't think of this.]
Yuki's mother shot icicles at Torhu. The brat was thrusting old tea packets at her nose. She shut her eyes and looked away, "Is that all you have? To think I would drink Western flavors. What a dreadful child you are. I shall take the green tea." She plucked the packet from the incapable child's hands and finished making the tea herself. Sipping it, she looked over the cup to Tohru once again. "You will sit."
In truth, Yuki's mother was curious about how far she could push this girl. Technically she Tohru Honda the new leader. It was the Sohma woman's job to test and trial her, to see where her breaking point was and just how much abuse she would take. Then again, Yuki's mother had to be on the wretched child's good side, but needed to appear indifferent to her when the next true master was born again.
It was a difficult line, and she had to be careful about how she balanced on it. She changed her attitude slightly, "You will sit, child, and drink tea with me."
-----
Yuki opened his eyes. His body was still in the clouds, and it felt like his mouth was swollen when he spoke. However, his mind was completely clear. A slight headache and a sense of dizziness creeped about him, but he felt much better for the sleep he had. He looked up to see Shigure in the doorway. Slowly, he pushed his head away from the bed and sat up gently on the covers. "Mmmf," he steadied his head with his hand, "Shigure? Oh, good morning."

"Ah, Yuki-kun, you're awake," there was a slight nervous air to his voice. "Well, then I guess you'd like to know that someone's here to see you..." he hesitated with the answer.

Tohru nodded complacently, going back into the kitchen to get some tea for herself. She sat down across from Yuki's mother, her own tea (well, more like water, since she hadn't put the tea packet in) forgotten. "So...are you Yuki-kun's mother? How wonderful! I always wondered about his parents. I mean I knew he had parents but he never really mentioned...that is...well, I'm glad to finally meet you," she finished lamely, flushing slightly.

"Yes," she spoke over the rim of her own cup, noting the foolish child was drinking only hot water, "I imagine that this is quite the honor for somethin--someone such as yourself. But Yuki hasn't mentioned me at all? Hmm..." She considered it. She had devoted her entire life to his care and his deep friendship with Akito. Even if this Honda child wasn't really worthy of the family (Although Akito now thinks otherwise, her mind reminded her) Yuki should at least give some thanks to his parents when around her.
You really need to start being nice to this girl, you know. Quiet. No no, hear me out. If you are to keep your high status in the family, you need her to like you. You've got a good start, she seems to like Yuki already. Ah, let's look into that, shall we?
"So tell me," she set down her cup and leaned forward, cracking an awkward smile, "what exactly do you think of my little Yuki? Rather indecisive, isn't he?"
No! Get on her good side! Say nice things about your son! I can't help it. It's just so obvious and degrading I can't help but point it out. Tough.
-----
"Oumf," Yuki turned around a little to push himself off the bed, then turned back to face Shigure. He used his straight legs to push against the bed and hold himself up, the rest of him felt like lying down again. He felt fine, really, it was just the world that wouldn't hold still or stay in one shape and color. He grinned, and let the moment pass, "Who on earth could be here to see me? No one at school knows where I live." The Souma family didn't occur to him. All the Jyuunishi would have their own problems, and everyone would be concerned about their own family.
Ah, in that case, it must be my family. Yuki sharpened his glance and spoke with caution, "Oh no, it isn't Ayame, is it? You invited Ayame over here now? As if it wasn't bad enough..."

Tohru's eyes brightened at the mention of Yuki. "Oh...he's such a kind person. Everyone here is...I'm so lucky to have met them. He's always so giving and thoughtful. You must be so proud of him! Especially to be class president and to have so much respect around the school. Kind of like Ayame-san was, ne?" she babbled, her heart absolutely bursting.

Shigure's gaze floated up to the ceiling, "Well, no it's not Aya..." His sentence came out long and drawn out. Pausing for a second Shigure's gaze returned once again to Yuki.
"Your mother's come for you."

Kyo had followed Shigure up the stairs and to Yuki's room. He dare not enter in but he was just outside listening. He may not have been able to attack Shigure with Yuki's mother in the room, but she was downstairs.
So Kyo decided to wait until Yuki was with his mother, that would be enough of a distraction for him to pounce.

Yuki's mother hardened, "Don't speak of that creature. Don't ever."

Yuki blinked a few times, "Oh...You should...tell her I'm not here. I don't think I could see her right now."
