"You damned Rat!" roared Kyou. "You've humiliated me for the last time!!"
Tohru saw Yuki (or as she called him, 'Souma-kun') and Kyou (whom she referred as 'Kyou-kun') stomping by the door leading to the kitchen, in that order. Yuki was obviously trying to avoid Kyou, but Kyou wasn't going to let the Prince escape.
Finally, Souma-kun stopped avoiding and started confronting. "I very much doubt that was going to be the last time you've be humiliated. You do that to yourself everyday."
"Why you..." growled Kyou, and grabbed a weapon of opportunity. Kyou threw it with all of his strength.
It was a heavy kitchen knife. This made sense, as they were in the kitchen.
The kitchen knife was heading point-first toward Yuki's head. Not being stupid, Yuki dodged it.
The kitchen knife continued, sailing through the doorframe unimpeded into the dining room. It passed beautifully over Shigure's head, its trajectory on course to burying itself right between Tohru's eyes. Tohru watched in fascination as the point came closer and closer.
Kyou felt sick. Dear, sweet, gentle Tohru was about to die in a rather hideous way. "Tohru!!" screamed Kyou, as if the force of his voice were enough to save her. Time seemed to slow as the horrific scene played out before his eyes.
A fraction of a second before the knife would strike, Tohru's eyes changed from that guileless glaze she usually wore to a deadly serious glare. Her arm blurred, and a pair of chopsticks clamped around the knife's handle, stopping it millimeters before it struck home.
And the deadly serious glare vanished as if it were never there.
"EEEEEK!!" screamed Tohru, eyes suddenly going round as she realized how close she'd come to the permanent horizontal resting position. She was also surprised that to find that the knife had been stopped by her own chopsticks, and consequently dropped the knife from those chopsticks in her shock.
Shigure grinned pleasantly. "My, you're one lucky girl, Tohru-san!" observed the Souma Dog. "A fraction of a second later, and *pfft* no more Tohru!"
"Ah... ha ha ha," Tohru laughed nervously, the sweat pouring down her brow.
"WAAH!! I'm sorry, Tohru! I'm sorry!" Kyou stammered out an apology after snapping out of his daze at seeing Tohru catch a knife that would've killed him had he been in the same position.
Yuki stepped up behind him. "You certainly are, you stupid cat," he said in a dangerous tone. "Now go outside so I can kick your ass properly for endangering Tohru-san." Kyou whimpered as Yuki dragged him out. Yes, he wanted to beat the rat, but the anger in Yuki's eyes exceeded his own grossly; he was in for a fair amount of pain.
