Tohru sat on her bed, her hands clutching the red hat to her breast. She wished that she could at least see the boy who helped her, when she was lost. The tears ran down her cheeks, as the memory played in her over and over again.
Tohru was running through the streets, looking over her shoulder, to see if the boys were still following her. She fell, tripping over a small rock, which seemed huge to her. Luckily, when she fell, the boys did not see her.
Tohru sat up, her eyes widening in fright as she realized that she had no idea where she was. Tears started to run down her face, as she grew more afraid. An hour or two passed, and she started to think, that everyone had forgotten about her. Then out of the clear blue, a boy with gray hair and purple eyes, wearing a red hat, appeared.
He glanced over at her, and started to run away. "Wait!" She cried out, quickly standing up and running over to him. Tohru fell twice, and each time that she would stand up, he would be waiting for her.
Each time she started to run, he would run too. Then the boy would disappear once in a while, but she would always find him waiting in the end. One time, she stopped. Staring up in amazement at her house. Then everything went black as something slid over her eyes, and onto her head.
Lifting the hat, Tohru looked around. Nobody was there other then her mother running towards her, crying in relief that her little girl had been found safely.
A knock at the door, wrenched Tohru from her thoughts.
"Tohru! I'm going out." Shigure called through the door. "Yuki is still here, if you need help, or you can just call me!"
"Ok, Shigure." Tohru said, looking down at the hat, which she was clutching with dear life. It was a dark red, wet from her tears. She heard the door slam closed from downstairs, and she quickly stowed the hat under her pillow. Glancing at the clock, she gave a sigh, it was close to seven, and she still had to cook dinner. She knew that Shigure would be back, around seven-thirty.
"Yuki." She said, once she left her room. His head stuck out his door, and looked at her. "What is it, Miss Honda?" He asked, completely leaving his room. "I was just wondering what you would like for dinner, since Kyo is staying over at Shisou's." She said, turning her head away, so he wouldn't see the red in her cheeks. "Uh... Stewed leeks would be alright." He said, smiling slightly at her. "Stewed leeks, it is!" Tohru said, turning around, her cheeks still a deep red.
Once she was down stairs, Tohru quickly ducked into the kitchen, and took the leeks from their place in the refrigerator. She took the other ingredients she needed, and started to cook. Half an hour passed, and the table was set. "Yuki! Dinners ready, and Shigure called. He said that he'll be staying over at Ayame's tonight." Footsteps could be heard from the stairs, and she quickly took her place at the table.
Yuki appeared, and took the seat across from her, waiting for her to grab some food, before he did. They ate in silence, since there was no Kyo or Shigure to yell at to be quiet, or not to make such perverted remarks, about Tohru's cooking. "Um... So… Having any trouble with your school work?" Yuki asked, breaking the awkward silence between them.
"Oh no… I'm actually catching on, thanks to your study guide, Yuki." "Ahh. Good." Another awkward silence passed between them, and this one lasted until they both finished their dinner. Tohru started to grab the dinner dishes, but Yuki quickly grabbed her wrist. "Those can wait. I heard you talking to yourself, when I passing by your room earlier. You called out, 'Wait!' and I was wondering what was going on."
"Well… you see… I was stuck in remembering a memory, where this boy helped me find my way home when I was lost." Tohru said, not realizing that he was still grasping her wrist.
