What Goes Around, Comes Around

Disclamer: I DONT OWN FURUBA!!

It was a cold morning. This was unusual for this time of year. Tohru had noticed such, and put on a pink and yellow sweater. It was early. Tohru just couldn't sleep that night; she had been too worried about the test the next day. Soon she had found herself sitting on the porch looking at the rising sun with a nice cup of tea.

"What a beautiful morning." Tohru sighed to herself.

The hot tea felt good on the back of her thought. After a wile, she gently put her cup down on the table beside her. Curling her knees to her chest, she looked over the yard. She couldn't believe that two years ago today she had come to live in this house. She smiled to herself, thinking about all the good times that she had had in this place.

"A-chew!" she sneezed.

Tohru shivered, it was colder than she expected.

"Hey, why don't you get out of the cold before you catch one"

Tohru jumped. She hadn't heard Kyo come up beside her.

"Oh! I'm sorry!" she apologized, "I didn't see you there!"

" Whatever," Kyo yawned, "what are you do'n up for anyway?"

" Well you see," Tohru started wringing her hands "I just couldn't sleep, I mean with the big test tomorrow"

"What, it's not that big. You didn't ha'f ta worry about it so much that you get no sleep over it."

" But Kyo!" Tohru started sacred, "You don't understand! If I don't pass this, I might fail and be held back for a year! And I can't do that! I can't! Not after I promised my mom..." worried Tohru, now with tears in her eyes.

"Oh," what more could kyo say? It was a horrible truth. If she failed the test, she would stay back. She would not be with him. That hit him hard. He couldn't imagen what would happen with him going off to collage nad not having Tohur not there...

"Kyo?"

" Hm?" .

"Are you okay?" she questioned.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Sheesh, I'm gonna go train", said Kyo as he left towards the woods.

"'kay." Tohru smiled with her big goofy grin, "I'll start breakfast"

Tohru picked up her cup and with a last glance at Kyo she headed into the house. She started to hum to herself as she came into the kitchen. Even though there were many things on her mind, she could always find herself smiling. Like her mother always said 'never give up'. She could always find comfort in her mother's word. Not long after had she started to make breakfast that Shigure appeared. Looking a bit ruffled and tired, he yawned to himself and sat down at the table to read the paper. At first, he didn't notice Tohru; it was after all only 5:30. What caught his attention was the delicious smell wafting from the kitchen. He knew that only one person could ever make food smell and taste soooo good, was Tohru. After processing all this, he got up, set his paper down, and headed toward the kitchen. And what else should he see but Tohru. He remarked to himself how cute she was with her hair up and that little apron on.
He could never get tired of the food she cooked or her for that matter. Then he noticed something else. Even though her face was bright and happy, the way she was moving she seemed nervous about something. However, he just couldn't see what it could be. His curiously finally got the best of him and he had to ask...

"Tohru," Shigure started, "why are you up?'

Tohru turned around, spatula in her hand, as she gave him a big smile she replied, "Oh, it's nothing, I just couldn't sleep, that's all."

Following this, she gave him an even bigger smile. He smiled too. It was contagious. Though, Shigure couldn't help but to surveyed her with his dark eyes, doubting that that wasn't the whole story. He knew that there was something wrong, he could always tell. In the back of his mind he began to feel slightly worried, Tohru didn't usually let things bother her, but there defiantly seemed to be something wrong. Even though her eyes were shining and her smile was joyous, he still had a sense that something was not right. 'She'll come to you if she needs help, all you can do is to be there for her' said a little voice in his head. After that, he found himself giving her the benefit of the doubt and stopped asking questions. However, as he turned to go back to the table he couldn't help but give one word of advice,

"If you ever need any help, you can always come to me,"

Tohru gave him a puzzled look, but Shigure just smiled and gave her a small pat on the head before leaving. Tohru, even though totally mystified, went back to cooking breakfast. It was an hour later that Yuki had appeared. He always did over sleep.

"Morning," Said a half asleep Yuki.

Even though his hair was quite messy and his school uniform was a little wrinkled, he still shown with a radiant beauty. He always seemed to have a sort of glow that attracted all the girls, and even some of the boys. Even if he was dirty, from working in the garden every one stilled called him 'Prince Yuki'. Need less to say that he never became too fond of his school nickname.

"Oh! Good Morning Yuki!" Tohru said with her biggest smile, yet as she set out the serving dishes, "breakfast will be ready shortly! In addition, I made one of your favorites! Stewed leeks!"

" WHAT!"

A yell came from outside that, you can say thoroughly scared Tohru and had effectively woken up Yuki.

"WHY THE HELL, LEEKS!" Yelled an angry kyo, who was now in the house with his uniform on.

"Kyo! I-I'm sorry!" Tohru said worriedly, "but I could prepare some left over cod from last night if-if you want!"

" Yeah, sure, whatever as long as it isn't something with those damn leeks in it" Kyo mumbled aloud as he went to join Shigure, who was still looking at the paper.

"Tch, what an unappreciative cat" Yuki said aloud. "Though," he said as he turned to Tohru, "I am very grateful."

" Oh, um, it's no problem really!" She quickly said. As his eyes met her sparkling blue eyes, she smiled at him with a big smile. He couldn't help but smile too.

As he turned to leave, he just happened to notice that she was ringing her hand. When he looked a little closer, her wrist was all red from it.

"Miss. Honda," Yuki started, "What's wrong?"

Tohru was startled.

"Nothing, nothing at all. Why do you ask?" She questioned with a blank look on her face.

"It's just that you seemed to be nervous or upset about something"

"….." she only replied with another blank stair.

"I couldn't help but to notice that when ever you become nervous about something you tend to ring your hands" Yuki explained.

"Oh…." Said Tohru as she now looked at the floor. "I really didn't want to bother you too… It's just that the other day, I found out that if I fail the test today that I will be held back… but really! You shouldn't worry about it!" she added quickly, as she saw the look upon Yuki's face, "I stayed up all night studying for this test, so there really isn't any reason to be worried, really!"

After a moment of shock, Yuki regained his composure.

"As long as you give it your best you'll be fine," Yuki said as he tried to comfort the worried girl, "It will all work out, you don't need to worry"

"Thanks" She smiled in reply.Yuki slowly turned away and left toward the table in the other room. Even though his words had been sincere, in his mind he felt a great pressure of worry come over him. 'Stop worrying she'll pass for sure' said one-half. Though the other part had different things to say 'If she does fail this test, she'll be held back. no more having lunch together, no more classes togther. She'll stay in high school while i go to collage...' He was afraid that, that one side had more truth to its words than the other, and that he really might have to go without her. The thought startled him very deeply. 'What is to come next,' he wondered, 'what is to come next…..'
