Chapter Seventeen

Kira sighed running her hand at the huge gaping hole that Kagura had done just the day she left. It had been nearly a week and there was no change to the wall since they were all occupied with the events that revolved around Tohru.

It was a sudden thing for her to leave, but fortunately, Yuki and Kyo were not going to let it just happen and neither was Kira or Shigure.

"Shigure, from now on, if someone destroys our walls or doors, they are going to pay for the damage and fix it, you got it?" Kira pouted before turning to Shigure who walked down the hall to the front entrance.

"They won't listen to me, why not you deliver that order," He responded shaking his head

"I rather you do the ordering when it comes to the damages. Besides, Kagura is terrified of me and the last I want is her crying, with Tohru around, I prefer if we don't stir confusion at why they fear me"

"It really can't be helped, but I get where you are coming from,"

"Oh, The boys are near," Kira walked over to Shigure feeling them.

"That was quick, I hope they did not cause any damage," He said sighing dramatically and shaking his head.

"They are reckless, but not when it comes to Tohru. Those boys wouldn't do anything that'd trouble her"

The front door opened, taking the adults attention towards the door.

"Ooh, congrats, you have successfully taken back the princess!" Shigure sang

Kyo groaned taking off his shoes," You! Always say something unpleasant!"

"It should be 'rescued'" Yuki corrected Shigure from behind Tohru who was flustered and bowing her head.

"That...I have to return"

"Welcome back, Tohru" Kira smiled crossing her arms," You didn't really think we'd let you go that easily, did you?"

Tohru blushed and bowed," T-Thank you, Kira" The older female chuckled ruffling her hair.

Shigure stepped forward and smiled suggestively, "Mmm, mmm! If you have any problems from now on, I'll deal with them!"

"No, no, I've already troubled you enough!"

"No problem, as long as we keep living as we did before!" Shigure then smirked and closed one eye," Those two forcefully took the address away. Then they ran out to find you. This hard work finally paid off" Kira reached over to grab one of the bags the belonged to Tohru, from Yuki.

"This was the first time that I've seen Yuki that excited!" Yuki jumped at the words and turned nervously at Shigure.

"Huh, when did I become excited?"

Kyo huffed walking past them," Liar, you had the facial expression that you didn't want to let go of her!"

Yuki stepped towards him and whacked Kyo "Wasn't that you, huh?!"

"Yuki!!!" Kyo shouted back and the pair went off arguing

"Even if it's like this... Please continue to take care of them, Tohru" Kira said patting her shoulder.

Tohru laughed and turned to the boys and back to her," Okay!"

"Anyways, why don't we all help Tohru unpack, boys?" Kira said walking past them and they all agreed, ignoring Tohru's rebuttal.

"Give up Tohru," Shigure told her before joining the rest upstairs.

The teen clasped her hands and smiled kindly to the four and followed them.

"I'm so glad to be back" She voiced, loud enough for them to all hear and each of them had smiles forming on their faces.
