Unspoken (ON HOLD)

Chapter 7

 It had been a couple weeks since Aria, Tohru and Kyo officially became friends and the human girl was taking the job very seriously.

In just a short amount of time she had managed to make Aria feel comfortable with her, and able to small talk a little bit more than before. It really was a change.

Kyo on the other hand, was extremely nervous about saying the wrong thing in their friendship but Aria didn't really seem to mind. She didn't care about any of that, only that he was there.

But today, was rather different for them.

Today, Aria slumped down the steps in her sleepy manner and plopped down for breakfast without speaking.

She looked dramatically different than previous days, opting for a casual dress and bare feet. She didn't even bother putting her hair up, instead it fell onto her head in loose tangles. To put it simply, Aria looked a mess.

Tohru hopped into the kitchen like normal and sang. "Good Moring, Aria! Oh, did you not sleep well last night?"

The response she got was nothing but an annoyed sigh and muttered. "I don't know."

Kyo eyed her in question and tried to figure out what was up. "Hey, did you fall off the wrong side of the bed of something this morning?"

Noticing it was Kyo's voice, she softened her answer just a bit. "Just not feeling well I guess."

The cat narrowed his eyes at this and before thinking, placed a hand on her forehead and another one on his, checking her temperature. "Ah hell, you don't have a fever do you?"

Aria jumped back and this, hiding a small blush in her cheeks. "What, no. I just feel a little off today. That's all. Don't worry about it."

But Kyo couldn't help but worry about it as Yuki came down the stairs in his usual sleepy fashion as well. The two of them kind of looked like a pair.

Tohru's eyed widened at the girls words and jumped forward. "Oh no! I'll make some soup for you since you aren't feeling well."

Putting her hand to her temple, Aria tried to stop her. "No, it's okay, you don't have to do that. I'll get over it, I always do."

The word choice she used was quite strange but no one called her out on it. The only voice she heard was Tohru's happy one. "No, it's no trouble at all! That's what friends are for."

Aria couldn't help but smile at this when Shigure bust through the doors in his usually happy go lucky fashion. "Good Morning everyone! Do I have a job for you!"

Everyone looked confused and let him continue. "It seems we are out of a couple things at the store and I need two of you to go get them."

Yuki grumbled at this. "Why can't you just go get them yourself?"

But Shigure only laughed. "Silly Yuki, that would cause me to have to go outside, and I'm totally not hiding from my editor right now."

Just then, he strolled up to Aria and Yuki, smiling. "That's why I've elected you two to go get them for me!"

Yuki hung his mouth open and this and began to protest. "Are you kidding me?! There is no way I'm going, especially not with her!"

Aria just remained silent, not really wanting to go with him either but somehow she knew just the silent atmosphere would get the point across.

But Shigure just sung happily though, picking up the two and tossing them outside. "Too bad, I've already chosen. Have fun you two, and don't forget the milk!"
