hi! my name is aurie! mmm this is my first story here so don't be mean... please review and such. Thanks!
Ai`s POV
I was walking up the stone path and up the stairs to the paper door. I knocked and waited for an answer. I pushed the red streaked side bang out of my face. Finally, the door slid open and a purple haired boy came out.
"Hey, I`m here to see Honda Tohru," I said in a neutral voice. He seemed shocked for a second but then went inside, probably to get Tohru. I waited a bit longer. Finally a brunette haired girl came out. I put on a small smile.
"Ai-kun! What are you doing here?" Tohru asked. My smile went down to a straight line and tilted my head with a curious expression on my face.
"Do you want me to leave, Tohru?"I asked. Tohru began to spaz out and wave her hands like a madwoman. The smile I had was back as I watched Tohru.
"Oh course I don`t want you to leave. Please stay, I was just about to make lunch," Tohru said, calming down and putting on a large smile. Tohru ushered me into the house. I took off my shoes and followed Tohru into the eating area. There sat three males. Two were about my age, the purple haired one who opened the door and an orange haired one that was obviously unhappy. The other was a guy, probably in his mid-twenties and black hair.
"Hello," I said, clearly. All three heads turned to me. "I`m Ai Honda, I`m Tohru`s cousin," I said with a straight face. "Sorry for intruding but I wanted to see my cousin." I pushed my side bang out of my face again, only for it to fall back in its place.
"Oh, its alright, my dear boy, we were just about to eat. Would you join us?" the older guy asked. I mentally sighed. My dear boy, he said. He doesn`t even realize that I`m a girl. It didn`t matter, I`m usually mistaken for a dude. Tohru was frantically waving her arms, trying to tell them that I was a girl but the words weren`t coming out. I rolled my eyes and knelt down.
"Sure. I`m sorta hungry. Tohru will you sit next to me?" I asked calmly. Tohru stopped being a spaz and sat down next to me. She gave me another big smile. There was the ghost of a smile on my face.
"Are you two close?" one of the younger boys asked. I looked at him straight in the eye and shrugged.
"Ai? Where have you been staying since... you know..?" Tohru asked. I turned to her.
"With a friend," I said. I didn`t want to worry her and tell her I stopped staying with my friend and was now living in an ally. Her face brightened when I said this. I looked at the plate in front of me and mentally grimaced. Leeks. I hated them. But Tohru had made it and I wasn`t going to complain. Tohru looked at it just as I was going to take a bite.
"Oh Ai, no need to eat that. I know you hate leeks. Here have some onigiri," Tohru said, placing the onigiri on my plate and removing the leeks. I nodded my head in thanks. The other boy with the orange hair who seemed to be pouting about something earlier, looked at me in surprise.
"You don`t like leeks either?" he asked, exitedly. I shook my head. I looked down at my plate and began to eat my onigiri.
"Oh, how rude of us! We didn`t introduce ourselves. I am Shigure Sohma," the older one said. I almost choked on the onigiri when I heard "Sohma." "These two are Yuki-" the purple haired one waved "and this stupid one is Kyo." Kyo jumped up and pointed angrily at Shigure.
"YOU STUPID DOG! I AM NOT STUPID! DO YOU WANT ME TO HURL YOU INTO THE SKY!" Kyo shouted. Then Yuki calmly stood and punched him in the face, sending him flying out the door. I sat calmly and nibbled on my rice that Tohru had on my plate. Yuki came and sat back down as if nothing had happened.
"Why is everyone intent on destroying this house?" Shigure asked, crying fake tears. He acted a lot like my boss. Tohru was fussing over Kyo. I sighed and kept eating my food. Something told me that this was the normal thing around here. After that, Kyo came back and everyone was chatting happily. I sat quietly listening to them. I pulled off my jacket, feeling hot. I finished my food. Tohru took all of the plates and went to clean them. I stood and followed her to help with the dishes. She began to protest but I just looked at her and she shut up. I helped her with the dishes and we went back to the guys.
I stayed a few more hours but I felt that I was imposing too much. I said my goodbyes and left. The sky outside earlier was dark and gray. Just as I was halfway back to the ally, it began to drizzle. I scrunched my nose. I hated rain, too. Finally I was at the ally. I sat down under a fire escape to keep out of the rain. I laid down on my backpack. I shivered and clutched the top of my arms. Then I realized that I had forgotten my jacket. I`ll just have to get it tomorrow, I thought. my eyes drooped and I felt stangely tired. It was probably because of the craziness in the house Tohru was living in. It must be exhausting. The sleepingess took over quickly and soon I was falling asleep. The darkness came and I was powerless against it.
3rd person P.O.V
Hatsuharu was walking past an allyway when he heard a soft breathing coming from there. No normal person could have heard it but Hatsuharu wasn`t normal. He walked throught the pouring rain and into the ally. He walked under a fire escape and saw a boy, maybe his age, sleeping soundly there. The boy seeemed oddly familiar. He looked cold, so Haru took off his long, white coat and draped it over the boy.
He shouldn`t have to sleep out here in the cold, Haru thought. He picked the boy up and headed toward his cousin`s house. The boy`s head leaned against his shoulder. Haru wondered why the boy was out in that ally. Was he homeless and living there? Or maybe he got hurt and he passed out there? Haru looked over the boy. There were no signs of a wound. He would have to wait until the boy woke up to know why he was there. Finally he was at the house. Thank God he hadn`t gotten lost this time.
He banged on the wood part of the paper door and waited for Yuki or Tohru to open it. Just his luck, Shigure opened it. As soon as he saw the boy, Shigure let Haru into the house. Haru laid the boy on their couch and took off his shoes. Then Tohru came in.
"Oh, Haru-kun, what are you doing here?" she asked smiling.
"I came to visit when I saw that boy over there in an ally. I got worried so I brought him here," Haru said, pointing to the couch. Tohru went to look at the boy and she saw his face. She gasped.
"No, its Ai-kun! Do you think he`ll be okay?!" she yelled. Ai must be the boy`s name.
"He`ll be alright Honda-san," Yuki said, patting her shoulder.
"What is he doing in an ally, is the bigger question," Haru said.
"Looks like we`ll just have to wait for him to wake up," Yuki said, trying to calm down Tohru. He went over and picked up Ai.
"I`ll bring him upstairs. Do you mind if Ai stays in your room, Honda-san?" Tohru shook her head rapidly. Yuki disappeared up the stairs. Haru was curious about the boy, Ai, so he stuck around. This could be interesting...
