Monologues of Tohru and Sora together
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is where the fun begins…
Let's get this show on the road, shall we?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two girls slowly made their way out of a small tent in the middle of the woods.
The first girl was about 5'7 , she had long orange cut in a boys style very short and spiky sticking out in every direction, she had red eyes, she wore a boys school uniform which was a black long sleeved shirt with a white tie and long black pants, she also wore brown school shoes and carried a black back pack on her shoulder, if you looked at her at first glance you would think she was a boy with the way she looked and her attitude and the only way to find out she is a girl is to ask her, yourself or find out by an accident.
The second girl was about 5'4 or 5'5 she had long brown hair down to her mid back and blue/green eyes she wore a girls school uniform which was a dark blue long sleeved shirt with a sailor suit style with a white collar and tie and a short school skirt with ankle high socks and brown school shoes, she carried a mini school briefcase with her.
"Wow…it looks like today's going to be another hot one ne Sora?" Said the brown haired girl to her orange haired companion who looked down at her with a raised eye brow and a shrug of the shoulder.
"Eh…yeah seems that way Tohru. Come on say bye to mom and let's go. And remember not to call me sister at school but brother." Sora said to the girl known as Tohru.
"Okay…wait I'm not forgetting anything am I?...Good I'm not! Okay mom, you're in charge while Sora and I are gone!" Tohru said happily as she got up after locking their tent and catching up to her sister and walking by her side.
"Well! We're off!" Tohru said happily as she stared up at her sister with a smile.
"This May mom passed away…she raised us by herself…and when she died she was gone…and so was our home…and now we live alone in this tent...hehe our story is long huh, Sora? " Tohru said smiling up at her sibling.
Sora looked down at her sister from the side of her eyes, "I guess….hey Tohru, we have some time before school. What do you want to do?" Sora asked as she stuck her hands in her front pockets of her pants.
Tohru looked up at the sky in thought then turned to look back up at Sora and smiled brightly, "Oh! Let's explore the area Sora!" she said.
Sora nodded and then said in a bored way, "Our life isn't easy…but we make it out okay. No matter what happens in our life…and we never let it get us down. That's us…but your more like the optimist of us both heh." Sora smirked down at her younger sister.
That's when they spotted a lone traditional two story Japanese house and they walked up to it.
"Wow…just look at this place Sora! I didn't know that there was a house here! Did you?" Tohru asked her older twin by 5 minutes, they are twins but way different in looks and attitude so no one knows they are twins but think they are just siblings.
Sora closed her eyes and sighed and nodded to her sister, "Yeah…it's so peaceful."
"Oh! How cute! Sora! Look at those mini animal ornaments!" Tohru said looking at the ornaments on a little display while tugging on her sister's sleeve.
"Hello what's this? I must be seeing things! A girl, and a boy out here? My, my….a high school boy and girl no less!" Said a voice of a young man.
Tohru and Sora looked up to see a very handsome man with black hair in a novelist kimono holding a newspaper.
"H-Hello! We are sorry for trespassing! We just saw these and - - " Tohru said blushing like made and apologizing like crazy, 'THERE WAS SOMEONE HERE!!!' She yelled in her mind.
Sora just sighed and gave an annoyed look towards the man, "What she is trying to say is we were on our way to school when we got distracted by this house and the zodiac ornaments." Sora said
"I see. Please continue then. I merely set them there to dry. I thought you young people were bored by the old fashioned superstitions like the Chinese Zodiac." The man said.
'Oooh! What a beautiful person! I wonder if Sora thinks so too!' Tohru thought but said, "N-no! I think these zodiac ornaments are adorable! My si- I-I mean my brother Sora thinks there cool!" Tohru said shrinking back from the mini glare Sora sent her for her near slip up.
"Hmm…aren't the? I like them too." The young man said.
Just then Sora spoke up sounding interested, "But…I see you don't have the cat."
The young man looked up from his kneeling position on the ground looking up at Sora, "Cat? Oh, you mean…the cat from the zodiac legend?" He inquired
"That's right! Our mother used to tell us that story all the time!" Tohru said happily as she started to remember along with Sora.
A young women with long orange hair down to her shoulder blades was wearing a black floral dress with stalking, her arm was over two young girls in their futon they shared as they where about to go to sleep. The woman started to speak to them in a gentile voice, "Once upon a time…God told the animals…"I'm inviting you all to my banquet tomorrow. Don't be late!", Hearing that the mischievous rat lied to his neighbor the cat. And told him the banquet would be the day after tomorrow. The next day, the rat rode on the back of the ox and nimbly landed before the banquet hall. After him followed the ox, the tiger and the rest, and together they feasted until morning. All accept the cat that had been tricked." The woman finished then blinked as one of her daughters was crying while the other looked annoyed and sad.
"Why are you crying Tohru? And why do you look annoyed and sad Sora?" The woman asked them.
"Poor Thing! Poor, poor, poor cat…!" The young Tohru said crying like mad.
"I like the rat but that rat is mean. Poor cat!" The young Sora said
"I know! I'll stop being a dog and be a cat!" Young Tohru said
"Yeah. Me too Tohru!" Young Sora said standing up with her sister.
"Whatever. I'm tired." Said the woman who was their mom.
Sora and Tohru then snapped out of it as Tohru started to speak again, "That's how much we like the cat."
Sora was looking at the young man and added in, "If we could meet the cat I bet Tohru would befriend him…I guess I would try too." Sora said.
"Is that so…? Wish I could see the expression on his face if he heard you two say that." The man said.
"What?" Tohru said smiling cheerily while Sora's eyes narrowed in suspicion catching only a bit of what he said.
'I could have sworn he said something about someone's expression…' Sora thought
"So, you were born in the year of the dog? I knew I felt a connection to you. Can't you tell? I'm a "dog" too you- -" The man said.
Sora's eye started to twitch badly as she was about to punch the guy for talking to her sister that way, 'He is a pervert! This is why I dress and look like a guy! He is going down!' but before she could do anything there was a bang.
"Really must you always act like such a leech?" Said a calm voice of a teenage boy.
"Okay that hurt. What do you have in there, a dictionary?" the man asked the boy.
"Two of them." The boy replied.
Tohru and Sora looked at the newly arrived person and were surprised to see a boy with silver hair and purple eyes wearing the same type of school uniform as Sora except that his sleeves were at his elbows.
"Are you alright Honda-san? My cousin didn't DO anything to you did he?" The boy asked
"SOHMA-KUN…! G-Good morning!" Tohru said blushing a million shade of red while Sora snorted catching The Sohma boy's attention.
"Oh…Hello Sora-san. Good to see you, I am surprised you didn't bash my cousin for hitting on your little sister." Sohma-kun said smiling at Sora.
Sora snorted and pushed her hands deeper into her pockets and turned to look at the two men and said, "Yeah well I would of if you hadn't done it for me Yuki. And I thought we were friends. Don't call me "san" I hate that I told you millions of times." Sora said.
"Must you always make me out to be a pervert?" The man said.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
( At the high school outside of room 1-D)
"HONDA-SAN!EXPLAIN YOURSELF! WELL?!" A girl with pig tails demanded Tohru in the hallway.
Tohru looked nervous and started to sweat slightly as the girl continued her yelling.
"WHY DID YOU AND YUKI COME TO SCHOOL TOGETHER? GIVE US A FULL AN COMPLETE EXPLANATION! WELL?! " The girl yelled
"It's just a coincidence! Don't you think you're over reacting? My big brother was there with us!" Tohru defended.
Just then two girls appeared the first had long blonde hair and blue eyes and wore a Yankee style uniform as the other girl had black eyes and hair and wore the same out fit.
"Tohru told you it was a coincidence didn't she? Stop fantasizing and get a life." The girl said in a tough voice.
"Wh-what is this? Threatening us with your gangster buddy huh? Don't think we're through with you just yet because of this Yankee!" The girl said scared
Tohru waved and said, "Uo-chan, Hana-chan…"
Just then they heard a voice which made the girls have stars in their eyes but still a bit of fear.
"Oi! Why are you harassing my baby sister!? If this is about us walking with Yuki , stop badgering her! Yuki is my best friend so shut up or I will hurt you! I don't care if you are girls!" Sora came up glaring down at the girls.
Uo, smirked at Sora and nodded in approval while Tohru started to freak out at what Sora said.
"Oh Sora-Kun! We know you would never actually hurt us!" The girl who was yelling at Tohru laughed.
Sora's eye twitched as she turned to Hana, "Oi! Hanajima! Take care of the pests!" Sora said 'Ugh! Just cuz they think I am hot and best friends with Yuki they think I wont hurt them! Fucking Plastics!!!' Sora thought angrily
"I could :BEEEP: them with electro-poison waves….Sora…" Hanajima answered making the girls run away in pure terror.
Uo then hugged Tohru while Sora was glaring after the girls.
"You all saved me." Tohru said pale from what Hana said.
"Oh you poor thing. Hanajima don't zap anyone. And good job Sora!" Uo said.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You both are Yuki-kun's classmates? I'm Shigure Sohma. Yuki-kun's cousin."
Tohru bowed and introduced herself, "Pleased to meet you. I'm Tohru Honda."
The three of them looked at Sora next, "Eh? Oh I'm Sora Honda. It's so not nice to meet you, you perverted old man! Never hit on my baby sis again or I will rip out your heart!!!" Sora said cracking her knuckles making Tohru go pale along with Shigure while Yuki just shook his head with a sigh.
"Honda-san, Sora-san, what brings you here?" Yuki asked.
Tohru started to freak out again making Sora's eye twitch, "Oh…! We live near by!" Tohru said.
Yuki looked at Sora who looked away while Shigure looked at Tohru.
"Near…here?" Yuki asked.
"Really?" Shigure asked.
Yuki then smiled and said, "Well any ways we're going to be late. Since your both here, why not walk to school with me?" Yuki asked
The three of them started walking with Yuki in the middle and Tohru on his left side while Sora was on his right.
"I was really nervous. Sohma-kun is so handsome I just froze up…I still don't get how Sora can make Sohma-kun talk to him so easily and is friends with him…I still don't get how that happened. Doesn't Sora get flustered around him? She after all is a girl in disguise right Hana-chan, Uo-chan?" Tohru said with her eyes closed and she was blushing
"Hmm…I detect strange waves emanating from him as well as Sora for some strange reason as well…" Hanajima said holding a knife.
"Time for Hanajima's wave report." Uo said.
"Strange? Sohma-kun…and even Sora?" Tohru asked looking at Hanajima with curious eyes.
"I don't really know how to explain." Hanajima said as she slid a knife protector over the knife.
"What's to explain the guys a walking enigma. Never talks about himself. I hear a second year girl confessed her love for him once…and when she tried to hug him, he flung her away. Totally freaked her out. The only person who probably knows a lot about him is Sora." Uo said.
"I-I didn't know that…I wonder why he did that…as well as if Sora know a lot about him…she never tells me anything about Sohma-kun…" Tohru said
"Exactly. It's the mystery that makes him so intriguing." Hanajima said
Just then there teacher came by and yelled at them, "MOVE YOUR HAND'S NOT YOUR MOUTHS! THIS IS COOKING CLASS!!" She yelled but then froze as she saw all the delicious food laid out in front of the three of them, "Oh…oh my."
" Hey lobster face. Can we go now or would you like us to help extract your foot from your mouth." Uo said with attitude.
"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU'RE FOOLING?! HONDA-SAN MADE THOSE FOR YOU!" Their teacher yelled at them.
"The rice is done too." Hanajima said.
Their teacher then stomped off.
Uo turned to Tohru looking at her and said, "I'm going shopping with Hanajima on my way home today. Do you and Sora want to come with? Oh wait…you two are working today aren't you guys?"
Tohru turned to Uo and smiled, "Yes. We don't want to be late."
"That sucks you two having to pay your school expenses by your guy's self's." Uo said.
Hanajima turned to Tohru while putting rice into a bowl and said, "But you two shouldn't have to work every day to pay your tuition. This is a public school after all."
Tohru said with a smile making fists and holding them up, "But after we graduate, we want to be able to pay our own way. That's why we have to start saving up now!"
"God dammit , Tohru, you're making ne cry! You and Sora so selfless! Eat up! You need your strength!" Uo said crying.
"You both are still living with your dad's family am I right?!" Uo asked
Tohru paled and jumped in surprise and said, "YES! YES WE ARE!"
"Are they feeding you both properly? They're not cheating you out of your money you two are earning are they?!" Uo pressed on.
'I can't tell them the truth, if Sora knew I did she would kill me…so would Uo-chan…if her and Hana-chan knew we where living in a tent Uo-chan would be outraged…she would burst into grandpa's house on her motorcycle!' Tohru thought sweat dropping a lot.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(With Sora and Yuki as they walked from the student council room down the halls)
Sora's hands where once again buried deep into her pants pocket's as her head was turned to Yuki as he talked to her.
"Sora-san…why do you not like to be called "San"?" Yuki asked with his head titled at her.
"Eh? Oh makes me sound old…and hey Yuki. Why do you let me call you by your first name?" Sora asked in return
Yuki smiled lightly at her and said, "Because…I can trust you with every thing you are my true best friend…and you would never keep any secrets or lie to me right?"
Sora stoped walking
and glared at the floor causing Yuki to stop a few feet ahead of her
and turn back to look at her.
"Sora-san?" Yuki asked in
concern.
"Yuki…I…" Sora looked up with what looked like a pained expression and a torn look making Yuki step back a bit from this sudden look his rough friend was giving him.
"Sora-san…what is it?" Yuki asked
"Yuki…if I were a girl and I never told you what would you do?" Sora asked with an unreadable expression.
Yuki blinked taken back by this question but answered, "Well if I found out after I told you all my secrets that you where a girl…I would think you betrayed my trust and I would be seriously made at you. Why did you ask that weird question Sora-san?" Yuki asked as he put his hand on Sora's right shoulder.
Sora just shook her head and said, "It's nothing…just wanted to know…hey Yuki…if you ever find out…I under stand if you start to hate me….I have to go meet my sister now…later Yuki." With that Sora brushed off Yuki's hand and started back into the school leaving a confused Yuki in her wake.
'What was that all about?' Yuki thought to himself.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(At the locker rooms)
"Ah…!" Tohru exclaimed as she saw Yuki at the lockers.
"Sohma-kun! I'm sorry about this morning! But it seems my brother is happy to know where you live now!" Tohru said.
"It's I who should apologize. Please forgive my cousins rudeness…and Sora-san did tell me that." Yuki said.
"Oh no! He was wonderful! We were just looking at his Chinese Zodiac ornaments." Tohru said.
Just then Sora walked up to them with her back pack slung over her right shoulder and her shoes already on as she noticed them. "Oh. Tohru….Yuki…" She said blankly and just walked past them.
Yuki and Tohru then started to follow, Tohru standing on Sora's left side while Yuki stood on Sora's right side.
"Did I hear you correctly Miss. Honda that you wished you were born in the year of the cat? And you wanted to befriend the cat Sora?" Yuki asked
"Er…I was eccentric when I was little…" Tohru said.
"Yes…I would at least try to befriend the cat Yuki." Sora said looking at him from the side of her eyes.
"The cat is a fool. And has a bad nature." Yuki said walking a bit ahead of them.
"Huh? Bad nature?" Tohru asked as she looked up at Sora who was staring intently at Yuki's back with some emotion she couldn't describe.
"Did you know…that the Chinese Zodiac is actually a timekeeping system of tens and twelves?" Yuki asked still a little ahead of them.
Sora kept an even pace with Tohru as they both stared at Yuki's back.
"It was used for calendars and clocks. Later astrologers combined it with the principles of yin-yang, the five elements and symmetry in order to tell fortunes." Yuki told them.
"So…animals had nothing to do with it?" Sora and Tohru asked.
"No," Yuki said but continued any ways, "When and why they added the animals…no one really knows. But there was never room for the cat in the zodiac. And it's better that way. The cat would throw everything. The cat really is a fool." Yuki finished.
Sora stoped walking and looked at Yuki eyes and face blank, "…Yuki…"
Tohru then asked him, "Sohma-kun…do you hate cats?"
Yuki then turned to face them his eyes blank as well as his look telling Sora and Tohru what they needed.
Beep, beep!
Tohru gasped as she took out her watch as Sora pulled out her cell phone.
"Oh no! Is it that late already?! We are sorry Sohma-kun but we have to go to work!" Tohru said in a frantic way.
Yuki then went up to Sora and put his hand on her shoulder while looking at Tohru and Sora.
"Sora-san, Honda-san, I noticed this morning….you both don't look well…it's been quite hot lately. You both shouldn't overexert your self's. Well I'll see you both tomorrow…" With that said Yuki walked away.
"It's the mystery that makes him so intriguing."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our father died of illness when we where three. Mom worked and supported us.
Mom was always there for us. She was our cheerful protector. It never occurred to us
That she could die. There were arguments about where and who would take us in, we are sure they all had their reasons. Eventually the family decided that we should stay with grandpa. Grandpa lives off a pension so…we promised to pay our expenses ourselves. That was in May. But four months later…
"My daughter's family is coming to live with us. I thought it would be nice to remodel the house before they arrive. During the remodeling I'll be staying at their place. I'm sorry you two but could you both stay with a friend during that time?"
Uo-chan lives in a small apartment and Hana-chan is in a family of five, Yuki Sohma we don't know much about but we couldn't bear to trouble them for however many months it may take to remodel! Then it hit us!
"Okay."
We are going to start to live by ourselves someday anyway. Why not just start now?!
That's right! We make it our own luck!. It's all in how you think about things. Even if it means having no money and living in a tent that you bought on sale!
Even if instead of door-to-door salesmen…I'm visited by mosquitoes and slugs! Even if a simple storm threatens to blow our house away like the other day!
"We can't let it get to us! We are not allowed sadness. Our home is our castle. Our home is our castle!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(In the woods)
"My, My, My. Look at the time. I almost forgot about dinner. Take out food is no way to live." Shigure said
"Then you make dinner Shigure." Yuki said
"But you hate my cooking." Shigure answered back
"That's because you put pickles in curry." Yuki said back
"As if you're one to talk you may be smart Yuki-kun but your homemaking skills leave much to be desired. What we hopeless bachelors need is a "Flower" to brighten up our barbaric lives." Shigure said
"Well aren't you progressive Shigure…but Sora…he can cook like a woman…hehe…sometimes I even think he is a girl when he isn't acting like that stupid fool." Yuki said.
"What? Sora can? He seems too rough to be soft. But wouldn't you like to have a woman around the house? Oh! Isn't that Tohru-kun and Sora-chan?" Shigure said.
"Of course you remember a girl's name, and never call Sora "Chan" He will skin you alive Shigure." Yuki said.
"Yes, I do have a gift don't I…but Sora does look like a girl if you look close enough, you can see he has a face of a girl and a body of one." Shigure continued.
"You check out guys Shigure? And my best friend at that." Yuki asked sickened
"Of course not Yuki-kun! I am straight!" Shigure said appalled.
"It's awfully late fir them to be wandering around in these woods…do they live near by?" Shigure asked.
Yuki stared at Sora as they kept on waling just noticing that Sora did have a very girlish figure and a pretty face this made Yuki blush, 'I can't believe I just thought about a guy no less my best friend like that!' Yuki thought.
"Sora told me their mother died. Maybe they moved here?" Yuki said
"But that's not possible. We're not renting this land to anyone…." Shigure said.
"I am so tired, Sora…" Tohru said as they entered the small tent.
"We're home…" Sora mumbled out tiredly
"Mom, We're home….I am falling asleep but we haven't finished out homework yet…" Tohru said
"Oh…I feel so dizzy…." Sora said as she opened the tent door one hand resting on her forehead.
"So am I maybe if we washed our face we'd fe-" Tohru never finished as she stared at Yuki and Shigure who where staring down at her and Sora.
Sora looked at them then at Yuki and her face turned bright red, 'Crap! Yuki! What is he doing here?!'
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Shigure laughed hard pointing at them.
"Shigure don't be rude." Yuki said staring at Sora.
Tohru was embarrassed she couldn't speak along with Sora.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(At Yuki and Shigure's house.)
Shigure and Yuki sat on the other side of the table facing Sora and Tohru.
Tohru sat across from Shigure while Sora sat across from Yuki.
"I see….so that explains the tent. How long have you two been living there? Sora why didn't you tell me?" Yuki then gave a stern look to Sora who turned her head away and faced the open shojo door.
"Well…I didn't want worry you…" Sora mumbled out scratching the tip of her nose.
Tohru and Shigure watched as Yuki kept a non wavering gaze on Sora who started to fidget till she turned around and slammed her hand onto the table glaring at Yuki.
"Damn it Yuki! Stop staring at me like that!" Sora said her temper rising
Yuki gave her annoyed look and said, "Well I wouldn't stare at you like that if you would have just told me what happened."
Shigure stopped laughing as he watched Sora and Yuki fight so he decided to interrupt, "I wondered how you could be living nearby. You know that this hill is Sohma property."
Sora then calmed down and crossed her arms over her chest her face a little red, "Hmpf!"
Tohru's face was also slightly red as she started to speak, "We'll leave as soon as our grandpa's remodeling is done. We don't have much money but we can pay. Please?"
"That place is dangerous. The cliff wall is unstable and you never know when some shady characters might pass through. Besides where will you plug in your curling iron or game stations?" Shigure said.
"Are you done." Yuki asked.
Just then Tohru shot up and Sora went with her trying to steady her wobbly sister, "It's okay! We don't mind the slugs! We can take care of ourselves!" Tohru yelled.
"Yes. We are fully capable of it." Sora said
Yuki and Shigure were shocked and thought, 'Ack!'
"Please…we are begging….you…." With that said Tohru fell to the ground as Sora fell onto her butt eyes in swirls as Tohru was on her knee's her eyes in swirls as well.
Yuki then pressed his hand against Sora and Tohru's forehead and said, "You both don't look well…you both have fevers…"
Shigure stood up and opened the door that led to the kitchen and scratched the back of his head, "I'll get ice…ice…huh. Now if I were ice where would I be hiding…?" He said
Tohru's face was pale at the mess while Sora looked grossed out and gave Yuki a weird look making him blush and turn away from her in shame.
"It's like a garbage jungle." Tohru said.
Shigure turned around to face her and said happily, "Oh! That's nearly poetic!" Just then Shigure's face went serious. "There was a landslide just now."
Tohru and Sora both exclaimed, "What?!"
"The ground is still weak from the storm." Shigure said
"Uh, um….how do you know…?"Tohru asked
"How? Call it "Animal instinct"." Shigure answered
Sora gave him a "What the fucking hell you retarded" look
Yuki turned to look at Shigure with a blank look while holding a first aid kit, "Stop messing around. Where was the landslide?" Yuki asked
"Always so solemn Yuki-kun." Shigure said with a pout.
Tohru and Sora exchanged worried looks.
"Could it have been…" Sora started
"W-what if it was near our tent!?" Tohru said in panic
Shigure smiled brightly and said, "That's the spirit."
Yuki gave him a deadpanned look then looked at Sora who looked worried and he said, "Seriously where was it?"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sora and Tohru then saw their tent totally destroyed by the land slide and their faces were pale.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Tohru screamed
"This is terrible!!!" Sora yelled
"Our picture of mother is in that tent!!" Tohru yelled
"MOM!" Sora and Tohru shouted together
Yuki stared at them then at Sora with worry and gasped as they both started to dig at the land slide.
"Honda-san, Sora-san! Please calm down. You're both not well." Yuki said bending down next to Sora and Tohru.
"But, But Mom! We have to save her!" Sora yelled as she kept digging.
"She's in pain!" Tohru yelled as she kept digging as well.
Shigure then grabbed Tohru's hands while Yuki grabbed Sora's.
"Let's come back when it's light out. If there's another landslide and you get hurt…your mother will be in even more pain." Shigure said
Yuki looked at Sora with soft eyes, "Sora?"
Sora sighed and then looked at Yuki and nodded, "Yeah…let's come back tomorrow Tohru…"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(In the Sohma house)
Tohru and Sora where laid in two different futon's as Shigure sat beside them.
Sora was on the futon behind Tohru's as she was propped up on her side her head resting on her palm as her elbow held her up as she looked down at Tohru who was laying with part of her face under her blanket.
"Yuki-kun's looking for some ice right now. It's probably fatigue. You both have been pushing yourselves to hard." Shigure said.
"Well sorry." Sora snorted in her arrogant way.
"I am sorry…but Sora we lost our home again…our castle…" Tohru sighed.
"Does it hurt?" Shigure asked.
"No. We've been through worse…." Sora said staring at Shigure.
"You poor things. Tell me about it." Shigure said
" " Come home safe." Why couldn't we tell her that." Tohru started.
"The morning our mom died in the accident…we had a quiz." Sora said
"We stayed up all night studying for it and we overslept. That was the only morning we didn't tell her "Come home safe." " Tohru said
"We always did that accept….that once…" Sora said looking at Tohru softly as Tohru closed her eyes.
"We…after the accident we considered not going to high school and working full time…" Tohru trailed off
"But mom would of said…" Sora said remembering along with Tohru.
"I only graduated from junior high. I missed out on a lot of opportunities because of it. So I want you both to go to high school and have fun for me. I failed all the tests and it was lousy being with all the grad-lings." Mom said with a laugh.
"After all she wanted a better life for us." Tohru said.
"She worked so hard and…we forgot to tell her come home safe…we didn't see her back as she left for work. But it's not too late. Even with our grades and our house blowing away…we can still make it up to our mom." Sora said sighing
"We can't bring her back"
"But can we live the life she wanted for us? She wanted us to finish high school…so we will graduate for her." Tohru said
But that's our goal
"This is no time to…lose to…a fever…." Tohru said as she fell asleep.
Sora looked down at Tohru then at the door where she heard Yuki's voice.
"Is she asleep?" Yuki asked
"Tohru-kun is but Sora-chan is awake. But were you listing to them?" Shigure said pointing to Sora
Sora's eye started to twitch and both her hands fisted, 'SORA-CHAN!? HE IS SO DEAD!!! Wait…Yuki heard us?' Sora thought pissed then surprised
"I'm surprised…at school she's so care-free. You'd never imagine the life she's lived. Incredible really." Yuki said.
"Incredible? How?" Shigure said eyeing Sora who was starting to grow mad at Yuki, 'This won't end well…'
"I've always wanted to run away from the Sohma family. But I only had the courage to run as far as another Sohma house. I could have lived in a tent like Sora-san and Honda-san….I could of gone to the woods…I'm acting like a spoiled brat. It's pathetic." Yuki said then looked at Sora straight in the eyes.
"Well you are spoiled but your spirit is different from Tohru-kun's and Sora's. There's really no comparison." Shigure said tapping Yuki over the head with a fan.
"And if you think that's incredible…then you really don't appreciate Tohru-kun or Sora-chan." Shigure continued
"Your right." Yuki said looking at Tohru, then at Sora who's eyes where wide now and full of anger as she stared at Yuki.
"You know what Yuki…I guess your not as nice as you led me on!" Sora growled out and then laid down and pulled the covers over her and she fell right asleep.
Yuki's eyes went blank as he said to Shigure, "Can you take care of them? I am going out."
