Disclaimer Thingy: don't own a thing except the short stories unless told otherwise.

I decided to write short stories for whenever I have severe writer's block… like right now.  I think it's kinda interesting how I wrote the first two chapters, though.

Tohru

            Even though I knew it wouldn't last, even though I knew it wouldn't work, I still felt upset about leaving.  Shigure and the others helped me so much to be a better person, even though it usually took a turn for the worse.  I only wish… that I could've stayed longer, but since Akito had then refused it, I had to leave.

            She never got mad at anyone, even when I would snap and yell at her.  She would just say how it's none of her business, and then she would leave and I would have to apologize to her.  Actually, now thinking back on it, she wasn't really that bad.

            Now I was alone.  Shigure tried to convince Akito to let her stay, but he kept to his decision.  Perhaps he just wanted to hurt me again… emotionally.  I could never forgive him for sending her away.

            I suppose Akito thought it was for the best, sending Tohru away.  Still, he didn't want her memory erased.  Hatori and I were quite surprised when he told us.

            And because of her departure, the gap between Yuki and I will probably only grow and grow until we begin to question the fact that we're brothers.  I couldn't stand to let that happen!  I would rather face the wrath of Akito than to never be able to bridge the gap between my brother and I!

            And now, Hiro is angry everyday, and every time I mention Sissy, he gets mad at me and walks away.  But I can't help it, Hiro.  I miss her so much.

            So then I get mad at myself for upsetting Kisa even more.  I just… I can't believe that she's gone.  For some reason… I really miss her.

            But I know I can't go look for her.  Ha'ri even said so.  At least I can see her at Papa's building whenever she is working.

            Still, doesn't Akito realize how much she has helped us?  She is just like Kana in a way.  She is the spring that melts the snow.  Maybe that is why Akito did what he did.  Maybe he was afraid.

            The others could never understand that I had saved them from her.  And yet… could it be possible… that I was wrong?

            I guess I can make it on my own again.  Well, hopefully I still have money to buy another tent.  "Miss Honda."

"Hey, Tohru."

"Yuki?  Kyo?"  I… can come home?

(END)

Well, there!  If you got confused: it's basically switching to another person's point of view (POV) at the beginning of every paragraph.  Now, guess the order that the characters came in.  All the way from the very beginning of the story to just above where it says (END).  Ready?  Set…  GO!!!!! (answers will be revealed in story three)
