DISCLAIMER: I don't own Fruits Basket.
By the way, if you absolutely can't stand stories where the character's personality is totally different from the manga/anime, then I suggest you not read this. Because Tohru is definitely not the happy-go-lucky type who listens to everyone that crosses her path person in this story. And I don't really want to get 100 complaints about the change in Tohru's personality. So have fun reading!
And also, the bold words inside the parentheses are my own thoughts and stuff.
The Mysterious Heartbreaker
Tohru walked out of her room and down to the living room. She joined Arisa in watching a Japanese drama about a gang. Tohru sniffed in the tasty aroma that flooded out of the kitchen from where Saki was cooking.
"Tohru, Arisa, we can eat now!" Arisa switched the TV off and Tohru followed her blonde friend into the kitchen.
"So, what do we have for dinner today?" Arisa asked as she walked into the kitchen. Right in the middle of the kitchen was a huge white marble, built-in counter. Around it were several tall stools for people to sit. Arisa and Tohru sat down in the stools and looked in front of them to see what food Saki had made-miso soup, sushi, and some udon.
"It smells so good, Saki." Tohru smiled as she breathed in the aroma once again.
"Thanks, you guys." Saki hung her apron on the wall beside the doorway and sat down next to Tohru.
"Itadakimasu…" The three girls started digging into their food. Suddenly, the phone on the kitchen wall started to ring, causing Tohru to jump in her seat. Tohru picked up the phone.
"Moshi-moshi…"
"Hey, Tohru, what's cracking?" Tohru smiled at her friend's voice.
"Hey, Kagura, nothing much; just eating with Saki and Arisa."
"Oh…did Saki cook dinner tonight?"
"Yeah, you want to come over?" Tohru knew nobody could resist to Saki's cooking.
"Oh, maybe just for a little while."
"Okay, see you later then." Tohru hung up and walked back to her seat.
"Kagura's coming to eat dinner." Tohru announced. Arisa and Saki nodded and continued eating their dinner. Suddenly, Kagura walked into the kitchen, waving her spare key.
"I love this thing." Kagura smiled as she sat down in an empty stool and began eating Saki's wonderfully-made dinner.
"Whoa…slow down, Kagura." Arisa warned. Tohru and Saki looked at Kagura who had the bowl of miso soup in one hand and a piece of sushi in the other.
"So, Kagura, the maid didn't cook dinner for you?" Arisa asked, eating her sashimi. Kagura put her bowl and chopsticks down and looked at Arisa.
"No, my parents are out of town and they took the maid. Seriously, it's these kinds of things that get me mad. What kind of parents would leave their daughter at home without a maid to cook dinner? Do they seriously want me to die of starvation? Would it kill them to leave the cook and the butler at home?" Kagura threw her hands in the air in frustration. She finished her speech and began eating again. Surprisingly, even though Kagura came last, she finished first and went to get another bowl of rice.
"Wow, Kagura, you seem like you haven't eaten in at least three days or something. Calm down." Saki giggled.
"Saki, I can't calm down. I've been eating crap for the last couple days because I had to go down to the market to get instant noodles. It's not that healthy for you. And I've been stuffing myself with that stuff for a whole week without any good food. I just want to eat your delicious meals in peace." Kagura answered.
"Well, I'm done." Tohru jumped off the couch and headed out of the kitchen. She went to her room and plopped on the bed, staring at the ceiling with her arms under her head. Tohru turned on her side and was about to fall asleep when her cell phone began to ring to the tone of Kiss the Rain.
"Moshi-moshi…"
"Hey, Tohru, it's Rin. Can I talk to you for a second at Palm Park?" Tohru could hear that Rin was a little upset and sad at the moment.
"Okay, sure, I'll be down at Palm Park in about ten minutes." Tohru hung up and grabbed a couple things before heading out.
"Tohru, where are you going?" Arisa asked as she saw Tohru slipping her shoes on.
"Palm Park…I'll be back in about an hour or so. Don't wait up!" Tohru called back as she closed the door behind her. She ran down the street to Palm Park and searched around the park for Rin.
"Rin, where are you!" Tohru shouted throughout the whole park. This was the weird part of town so nobody really thought of why this girl was running around shouting someone's name. As Tohru walked deeper into the park, she saw a couple making out on a bench.
"They should seriously rename this park to Make-Out Park or something…" Tohru walked by but caught a glimpse of the guy. She shook her head. It was the known player. He had hit on almost every girl in that part of the city.
"Tohru…" Rin came out from behind the trees and Tohru ran over to her friend.
"What's wrong, Rin?" Tohru asked. As she got closer, she could see that Rin's eyes were wet and red from crying.
"Tohru, its Tadashi…he broke up with me. And he kicked me out of the house…" Rin sobbed as they sat on the bench, talking about her ex-boyfriend. Tohru could feel anger rising up inside of her.
"Well, what are you going to do now?" Tohru asked, knowing Rin's current situation. Since Rin met Tadashi, her family didn't exactly care about her anymore. Rin actually thought that Tadashi would be with her forever and she wouldn't let anybody come between them. If her friends or family butted into Tadashi and her relationship, screw them. But now that Tadashi dumped her, Rin had nowhere to go.
"I don't know…" Rin answered honestly. Tohru sighed and it dawned on her that the house had extra rooms.
"You can come to my house!" Tohru exclaimed. Rin looked up at Tohru with her long black hair sticking to her face with her tears acting as glue.
"Are you sure?" Rin asked.
"Yeah, of course I'm sure. Since you don't have anywhere to go and we have extra rooms, you can just live in one of those extra rooms. There, Tadashi can't find you or anything. Arisa and Saki like you too. And this is what friends do, they help each other." Tohru answered. Rin thought for a moment and Tohru could've sworn she saw Rin smile in the moonlight.
"Okay, I'll go with you. But I need to get my stuff back from Tadashi's place." Rin shivered at the thought of Tadashi. Tohru sighed but another bright idea just came into her mind.
"I can go to Tadashi's place to get your things for you!" Tohru stated. Rin looked into Tohru's eyes.
"Are you serious? You'd do that?"
"Of course…come on; let's go back to my house first. You can borrow something of mine and then we'll charge up to Tadashi's apartment and grab your stuff tomorrow." Tohru suggested. Rin nodded and they both went back to Tohru's house.
"I'm home!" Tohru shouted as she walked into the house. Arisa, Saki, and Kagura were playing cards and watching TV in the living room.
"Hey, Rin, what's up?" Kagura waved after she played her turn.
"Rin, why don't you go up to my room and go wash up? I'll show you to your room afterwards." Rin nodded and walked up the stairs and down the hall to Tohru's room.
"What's wrong with Rin?" Arisa asked after they were sure Rin was out of ear shot. Tohru sat down on the couch and looked at Arisa sitting on the floor.
"Tadashi just dumped her. I took the liberty of saying she could stay in our house." Tohru answered bluntly.
"What! Tadashi's a jerk for dumping Rin! Rin's such an awesome person." Kagura exploded. Tohru opened a can of soda on the coffee table.
"Well I guess not awesome enough for Mr. High-and-Mighty."
"Let's go punch his face in right now." Arisa cracked her knuckles but Saki shook her head.
"That won't help Rin with her situation. She should first get settled in here. Let the situation calm down a bit first, then we'll decide what to do with Tadashi." Saki answered. We all nodded in agreement.
"Don't worry, Arisa. We'll get our revenge…but after Rin gets settled in our house. So I was thinking of going to Tadashi's apartment tomorrow to get Rin's stuff."
"Okay, maybe we can all come with you." Saki suggested.
"I can't…I have work tomorrow." Arisa stated as she put a card down, still continuing the game with Kagura and Saki.
"Yeah, and I was thinking that maybe Saki can stay back to hang out with Rin. Kagura can come with me to pack up all of Rin's stuff." Tohru had this all planned out.
"Okay, that can probably work too…" Saki nodded to Tohru's plan. They were going to continue talking about Tadashi but Rin came downstairs, all washed up and ready for bed. Tohru got up and led Rin to the farthest room down the hallway.
"Thanks for doing this, Tohru; it means a lot to me." Rin answered. She got into bed and Tohru left, turning off the lights in Rin's room. Tohru yawned and walked back to her room, falling asleep right after getting into bed.
At nine in the morning, Tohru woke up. She quickly took a shower and got changed. Tohru wore a white tank top, light blue jeans, and a pink jacket. She walked downstairs and could already smell Saki making breakfast for the four girls.
"Ohayou, Tohru." Saki greeted. Tohru yawned and sat down on a stool.
"Ohayou..." Saki placed a place of grilled fish and rice in front of her.
"Itadakimasu…" Tohru grabbed her chopsticks and began to eat.
"So, Arisa's already at work. Kagura called and said that she'd probably be over at around 10:30. And I think Rin's still sleeping in bed." Tohru nodded. Everything was going according to plan. At exactly 10:35, Kagura walked into the house with her spare key and sat down in a stool. Saki automatically knew to set the breakfast before her.
"Itadakimasu…" Kagura began stuffing her mouth with the delish breakfast. Tohru finished her food and put the plates and utensils into the sink for Saki to wash afterwards. She sat back down in her seat and faced Kagura.
"Are you almost ready?" Kagura put up one finger and gulped down the soup. She nodded her head and they got up from their seats. They walked up to Tohru's room and grabbed a huge suitcase and her cell phone. Tohru closed her bedroom door and was about to head back downstairs when they saw Rin come out of her room, yawning.
"Ohayou, Rin, have a good sleep?" Tohru asked, smiling. Rin nodded and saw the suitcase.
"You're going to get my stuff now?"
"Yeah…" Tohru replied, hoping that Rin wouldn't beg to go with.
"Did you want us to get something other than your clothes?" Kagura asked.
"Yes, can you help me get my music box and my pictures too?" Rin smiled sheepishly. Tohru and Kagura looked at each other, knowing that the music box was a present from Rin's family and the pictures were probably taken with Tadashi.
"Okay, we can do that. Oh yeah, Rin, do you still have a key to his apartment?" Tohru asked, hoping they wouldn't have to break in.
"Yeah, it's right here." Rin ran back into her room and grabbed the keys on the bedside table. She handed it to Tohru, who was standing in the doorway.
"Thanks for doing this, Tohru." Rin said quietly. Tohru nodded and gave a smile.
"You know I'd do anything for my friends, especially if they were hurt by some stupid jerk." Rin gave Tohru a hug and Kagura stood back there, smiling.
"Okay, Rin, I'll see you later. Saki's in the kitchen, she already made breakfast for you." Tohru and Kagura left the house with the suitcase. Tohru got into the front seat of her car and Kagura put the suitcase in the back seat while she sat in the front. Kagura looked around the car and made a face.
"Your car's so clean. I just want to mess it up." Kagura said with a mischievous look on her face. Tohru glared at her.
"Don't try it. Don't even think about it." Tohru said coldly. Kagura shrugged and faced the front as Tohru pulled out of the driveway and into the street.
"So, when we get to the apartment, we're going to wait until Tadashi's gets out of the house and then we'll go in." Tohru informed Kagura.
"How do you know he'll get out of the apartment?"
"He always gets out of the house at around 11:15 to do something. Rin doesn't exactly know what he does but he's usually gone for a while hour." Tohru answered. Kagura nodded. Tohru turned the corner and they both saw the huge apartment building with twenty floors. Tohru parked right in front of the building and waited. It was only eleven; they had fifteen minutes to waste.
"That's a huge apartment building." Kagura pressed her face against the glass window and looked up to see the top of the building. Tohru opened the door and opened the trunk. She came back to her seat and opened a bag of Cooler Ranch Doritos. Tohru offered Kagura some and Kagura took a handful.
"You keep snacks in your back trunk?" Kagura asked, stuffing a chip in her mouth.
"Yeah, Saki doesn't like unhealthy things in the house." Kagura laughed at the thought. Even though they didn't have parents to look after them all, Saki was like the mother to them all. When they finally finished the bag of chips, Tohru and Kagura looked up just in time to see Tadashi walking out of his apartment, a girl wrapped in his arms. Tohru made a face in disgust and she could've sworn she heard Kagura swear under her breath.
"We'll wait until she turns the corner. Then we'll go." Tohru stated. They watched the two sick people like a hawk. As soon as they were out of sight, Tohru and Kagura got out of the car. Tohru ran across the street first, leaving Kagura to get the suitcase in the back seat. As soon as Kagura caught up to Tohru, Tohru put up a hand and pressed the 'lock' button on her car remote thing. They stared at the huge apartment building and pulled out Rin's spare key. Tohru used a sharp, silver key for the huge front gate. They walked in and got into the elevator with a couple other people. Tohru pressed the button to floor twelve and scooted back beside Kagura. The two curious girls looked to their right and could see another couple just staring at each other like zombies. And they could've sworn that another guy was trying to look at their reflection off the dirty, bronze walls of the elevator. When the elevator reached floor twelve, Tohru and Kagura both left, feeling the stares that the creepy guy gave them.
"Which apartment is it?" Kagura asked. Tohru looked down the hall.
"I think it's 1209." Tohru and Kagura found the apartment room and Tohru shoved the key into the doorknob. She twisted it and they walked into the room. Tohru's eyes widened and Kagura's jaw almost dropped to the floor.
"Is this seriously a house? You can't even tell what's floor and what's not?" Kagura exclaimed, staring at the floor, trying to avoid the clothes and food on the floor.
"Or what's his and what's not?" Tohru picked up a pair of cargo pants which had a pink lace bra dangling from the belt loops. Kagura and Tohru both examined the interesting piece of clothing dangling from Tohru's hand, both of them wondering how the heck it got like that in the first place. A chill ran down Tohru's spine as she dropped the thing and shrugged.
"Okay, so I guess we'll need to figure out what clothes' are Rin's and what clothes aren't…" Tohru sighed, looking around the whole apartment.
"That shouldn't be hard." Tohru walked into a room at the back of the apartment and saw a neat-looking room.
"This must be Rin's room." Tohru stated, looking on the tall dresser beside the bed. There were pictures on top of the dresser of Rin and Tadashi. Tohru sighed and made a face but still followed Rin's wishes to keep the pictures. Tohru looked at the other side of the bed and saw a beautiful music box on the wooden bedside table. She opened the suitcase on the bed and placed the pictures and the music box beside the suitcase. Tohru walked over to the closet and saw dresses and coats hanging on the hangers. She grabbed all three dresses and two coats and just dumped them all in the suitcase. Tohru opened the dressers and grabbed all of Rin's tops and bottoms. When she finally finished stuffing the clothes in the suitcase, she safely placed the pictures and the music box in between the clothes so the clothes can keep them protected. Tohru closed the suitcase and dragged the suitcase out.
"You know, Kagura, you're here because I wanted you to help me pack up Rin's stuff? Speaking of which, where the heck are you?" Suddenly, Tohru heard a crash in Tadashi's room. Tohru dropped her suitcase and ran to the next room to see Tadashi's dresser flat on the floor!
"Kagura, what in Heaven's name are you doing!" Tohru exclaimed, trying not to be too loud in case the neighbors heard her.
"What? You don't really think I wanted to come along just to get Rin's stuff, did you? Tohru, Tadashi freaking took Rin's heart and just threw it all behind him like it was garbage or something. I don't know about you, but I intend to trash this place since he thinks he can treat our poor Rin like garbage." Tohru couldn't help but smile at Kagura. Then they started trashing the place. When they finished, they looked back into Tadashi's room. The dresser was flipped over, the bed sheets and stuff were all rolled off the bed, the clothes were lying around everywhere, a mirror was shattered on the floor, and many other things. Tohru and Kagura walked into Rin's room.
"We should just mess up the place so Tadashi won't think she did it." Tohru nodded at Kagura's suggestion. They started messing up the place also. Everything was almost as messed up as when they first walked into the apartment.
"Okay, let's get out of here. It's already 11:52." Tohru said, checking the clock on the wall. They left the key on the table in the living room and opened the door. They closed the door and walked to the elevator. Tohru pressed the button for the elevator and stepped back. When the elevator opened, Tohru and Kagura almost died. Tadashi just came back from wherever he was.
"Hey, sweetie…" Tohru snapped her head around and looked at Tadashi with wide eyes. Lucky for them, he couldn't recognize them as Rin's friends. Tadashi stepped out of the elevator and stared into her eyes, smiling at her. Tohru made a sly smile.
"Yeah…and where's that slut you walked out with an hour ago?" Tohru and Kagura started cracking up as they walked into the elevator. When the door closed, they waved goodbye to the bug-eyed Tadashi. During the whole ride down, they laughed the whole way.
"That was awesome, Tohru!" Kagura and Tohru plopped on the couch back at home. Tohru hadn't laughed like that in a while. They knew that they would never be able to forget Tadashi's face. Suddenly, Rin came downstairs to join them.
"Hey, Rin, we got your stuff right here for you. And it was so funny because when we were leaving the building…" Tohru grabbed Kagura's arm and shook her head. Kagura stopped talking but Rin already noticed it. Rin tilted her head as she opened her suitcase on the floor.
"What did you guys do?" Rin looked up at them.
"We messed up his apartment. But you couldn't even tell unless you went into his room and your old room." Tohru answered before Kagura could say anything else. Then she gave the okay for Kagura to talk about THAT thing.
"Since it was already messy, we trashed the place a little more. His and your old rooms were totally trashed!" Kagura said proudly. Rin looked at both of her friends with wide eyes.
"Are you guys serious!" Rin exclaimed. Kagura and Tohru looked at each other and back at Rin.
"Yeah…is that a problem?" Kagura asked, worried. To Tohru and Kagura's surprise, they saw Rin smirk!
"That's awesome!" Rin started laughing. Tohru and Kagura gave each other a weird look.
"Well thanks you guys, I think I'll go unpack and stuff." Rin gave each of them a hug and walked up the stairs, trudging her suitcase behind her.
"What was up with that?" Kagura asked after Rin closed her door.
"Either that was an act or she had a talk with the house psychologist." Tohru answered. She got up and walked to the backyard and Kagura finally understood. Tohru and Kagura walked outside and saw Saki sitting on the swing, reading a book.
"What did you say to Rin?" Tohru asked. Saki looked up from her book.
"I just had a long talk with her about Tadashi. She's all better now." Saki answered.
"Oh, that's good." Saki nodded and continued reading her book. Tohru and Kagura both walked back into the house and sat down to watch some TV.
"Hey, I'm back!" Arisa walked into the living room and plopped down beside Tohru.
"So how's Rin?"
"She's fine after Saki talked to her. But we trashed Tadashi's place, played a little trick on him, and grabbed Rin's stuff already." Kagura explained proudly. Arisa nodded and they all stared at the TV. Suddenly, the telephone started ringing.
"Moshi-moshi…" Arisa answered.
"Here, Tohru, its Kisa." Tohru took the phone.
"What's up, Kisa?"
"Hey, Tohru, you want to go to the Hot Ice Club grand opening with me tonight?"
"Actually, I'm kind of enjoying my time at home, watching TV with Arisa and Kagura." Arisa and Kagura both turned towards Tohru but Tohru just shrugged.
"Please, Tohru, they can come too." For some reason, Tohru thought that Kisa wanted more than just for Tohru to go to that club.
"What's in it for you if I do come?"
"Having my friends know that I actually know the known heartbreaker."
"So I'm going to that club to see your friends just so you can show off to them?"
"Yeah…"
"Hey, Kisa, I'm not just some trophy that you can show off to your friends. I'll be right over…" Tohru hung up before Kisa could cry out for joy.
"Everybody, we're going to the grand opening of the Hot Ice Club. Get changed and let's go." Tohru ran upstairs and informed Rin of their night out. Rin also changed and Tohru went into her own room and also changed into a cuter outfit.
"Everybody ready…?" Tohru asked, standing in front of the main door.
"Yeah…" Tohru's eyes widened as she saw her four other friends coming out from their rooms. They all looked gorgeous and were ready to party. Rin was wearing a black tube top with a leather mini skirt with black arm warmers. Kagura was wearing a green tank top with a semi-transparent shirt over it and a pair of long blue jeans. Arisa was wearing a white, sleeveless shirt with a very low neckline and a long, red skirt. As for Saki, she was wearing an off-shoulder, black shirt and a knee-length purple skirt.
"You guys look great…" Tohru complimented.
"You look good yourself too, Tohru…" Rin smiled. Tohru looked at herself. She was wearing a white halter top, a white mini skirt with a long, pink jacket to top it off. Tohru smiled and they all piled into Tohru's car outside. When they got to the Hot Ice Club, Tohru dropped off her four friends and parked around the corner. She rejoined her friends in the club and they all finally found Kisa.
"Kisa…!" Tohru shouted over the music. Kisa looked up from her beer and smiled widely at Tohru. She literally jumped up and introduced Tohru to her friends.
"Everybody, this is the known heartbreaker! See, I told you she's my friend." Kisa answered. Tohru was immediately surrounded by girls that were three to five years younger than her. These were the times that made her regret babysitting Kisa when she was ten years old.
"Okay, people, it's time to scoot back now. Tohru needs her space." Kisa shoved everybody aside and led Tohru to the bar. The five girls all sat down in the stools around the counter in a row starting from Tohru, Kagura, Arisa, and then Rin.
"Thanks for coming, Tohru…" The seventeen year old smiled brightly. Tohru shook her head and laughed a little.
"Well I'm going to go back to my friends now, so I guess I'll see you guys later, bye!" Kisa waved and joined her friends on the dance floor. The bartender placed five beers in front of the girls and they all started drinking it.
"Hey, sweetie…" Tohru turned to her right and saw somebody hitting on Rin. Tohru looked behind her and sighed.
"Great…he's here…" Tohru groaned.
"Who's here?"
"The known player and his whole gang of guys…." Tohru answered. She nodded behind her and Kagura turned around. Kagura saw that Tohru was right. There were a couple guys who were just entering the club. Almost automatically, they spread out and started hitting on girls in every corner of the club. It's like they just got out of prison and haven't seen girls in the longest time. Tohru and Kagura saw that Rin was laughing and giggling on the other side of Arisa.
"I'm not letting Rin get her heart broken again from some dude she's meeting at a club." Tohru put her beer down with a slam and got out of her chair. She walked over to Rin and realized that the guy sitting next to Rin was the player's right hand man, Haru.
"Haru, why don't you go play with some other girl's feelings…?" Tohru grabbed Rin's hand and scooted onto the dance floor, leaving Haru sitting there.
"Don't ask questions, just dance." Tohru explained to Rin. Rin did as she was told, closed her eyes, and began dancing like everybody else on the dance floor. Tohru opened her eyes again and looked over at Arisa and Kagura.
"Hey, don't you touch me, you creep!" Arisa splashed the cup of beer in somebody's face, which caused a smile to spread across Tohru's face. Arisa and Kagura both joined Tohru and Rin on the dance floor.
"Wow…that was fun." Tohru exclaimed as they sat back down on the stools around the bar. They all fanned themselves and drank some more beer. Soon, Kagura, Rin, and Arisa were all out. Tohru was the only one left still alive because she had such a high tolerance for beer.
"Great…how am I supposed to get them back to the car if they're all like this?" Tohru asked herself.
"Need some help there?" Tohru swiveled around in her chair and saw an orange-haired boy standing there.
"Yes, but not from you..." Tohru said coldly. The twenty-three year old took the liberty of sitting beside Tohru. He just stared at Tohru and smiled. Tohru, on the other hand, totally annoyed by the fact that she was being stared at and watched, drank more beer because that's all she could do at the moment.
"Hey, Kyo, what's up? Don't you want to sit over with me and my friends?" A slut walked up to the player and put an arm around his neck. Tohru shook her head in disgust. Kyo immediately unhooked himself from the slut.
"No, Jun, why don't you go back to your friends now." Kyo turned back to Tohru. Jun glanced at Tohru and realized that Kyo was trying to get Tohru with him. She glared at Tohru for a second and just walked off to her friends.
"You know…I make it a point to know the name of the person I talk to…" Kyo stated.
"Well we're not talking so it doesn't matter if you know my name or not." Tohru smirked. By this time, a couple people were staring at Kyo and Tohru to see what would happen. It's not always that they get to see a player and a heartbreaker clash at a club. In every corner of the club, whispers were being heard. The guys were betting that Tohru would be the one to fall for Kyo. But the girls were also betting that Kyo would be hooked on Tohru.
"Alright, Kyo, you can stop wasting your time staring at me because I won't ever like you. And I need to go." Tohru paid for her beer and grabbed Kisa from the sidelines.
"Help me get those four out of here." Tohru said quietly to Kisa. Kisa nodded and grabbed two other girls. Tohru gave Kisa the car keys and Kisa helped Kagura out of the club. Kisa's other two friends helped Arisa and Saki out of the club. And, last but not least, Tohru took Rin out of the club, making sure that Haru didn't try anything else with Rin.
"Thanks, Kisa, bye."
"Your car keys are in the front seat." Kisa called back as she walked back into the club. Tohru put Rin in the front seat of the car.
"Hopefully, you guys don't throw up." Tohru hoped as she buckled Rin's seatbelt. She slammed the door shut and turned around, seeing Kyo standing in front of her.
"Go away, Kyo." Tohru said coldly.
"I'm not leaving until I get a name and a phone number." Kyo smiled.
"Fine, my name is Lettuce-and-Tomato and my number is 110. Go home and try it out." Tohru answered. She was actually surprised that Kyo would let her go.
"Well I'll just be more specific next time…" Kyo smirked.
"Yeah, you do that." Tohru said before leaving her parking space. Kyo stared at the driving car and suddenly felt something heavy around his shoulders.
"So, Kyo, it looks like I was right, you lost this round. I tried to warn you that Tohru was a handful. I've never seen her fall for one guy that tried something with her." Haru sighed, putting a piece of gum in his mouth.
"Actually, that's not true." Kyo and Haru turned to their left and saw a girl standing on the street with her other friends.
"What do you mean that's not true?" Kyo asked with curiosity.
"Tohru Honda wasn't always like this. There are many rumors about Tohru. But most of them all add up to the same conclusion. Tohru had a boyfriend before like four or five years back. Nobody really knows who he is though. But whoever he was, he hurt Tohru really bad. Nobody even knows how he hurt her or what he did, or whether it was emotional or physical. But that's why Tohru doesn't fall for anybody anymore. Once was enough for her, I guess." The girl answered. Before Haru and Kyo could question her more about the mysterious heartbreaker, the light turned green and she was already walking across the street with her group of girl friends.
"Hmm…we got to find out more about Tohru…" Kyo stated bluntly. Haru nodded his head and they went back to the club.
"I'm not letting this girl go that easily…" Kyo thought to himself, thinking about Tohru's sweet and beautiful face, "What could have possibly happened to her to make her stop falling for anybody?"
Hi everybody! So this is my second story. I'm not going to beg you guys not to drown me in your harshness about my story because I know it's not perfect.
