Bold= tohru's thoughts

Italics= someone talking

I stared out the window. I couldn't think about much. For some reason I've been thinking about Grandpa. It's just because I haven't talked to him in a week now. That's all. I usually called him once a week, but I was busy this time with tutoring. It seemed that making good grades had gotten harder and harder to get. Hmm. I wonder how Grandpa is doing. I'll call later after I finish studying. I started to see pictures of him in my mind. Then I started seeing pictures of Mom.

" Tohru?" I heard Moms voice ask. Mom?

" Miss Honda?" A guy said. I looked up to see Yuki staring down at me very concerned.

" Oh, yeah?" I replied.

" Are you alright? Class is already over. The stupid cat lost another card game and is now cleaning the room." Yuki informed.

" I would've won if that Yankee didn't cheat! That's alright. I'll get her next time like I will when I beat you!" Kyo said angrily as he swept the floor.

" That strangely sounds familar!" Yuki said annoyed.

" Damn straight!" Kyo said ending the argument there.

" No fighting guys!" I said trying to focus on one subject. They both looked at me surprised. Kyo resumed cleaning looking mad and Yuki dropped it and focused on me.

" Thanks for asking but I'm fine really I just want to go home and hurry with my studying." I said.

" Hey Tohru!" Momiji said from the doorway.

" Hello everyone." Haru said next to Momiji. I saw Momiji and Haru in the doorway as they greeted us. Haru quickly stood next to Yuki. I'm sure if the fan club saw Haru would be dead. Momiji jumpped at me for a hug, but was then pinned down by a broom which had a angry Kyo on the other side staring Momiji down.

" Tohru? Kyo is being mean to me!" Momiji cried.

" It's your own damn fault!" Kyo said.

" Anyway. I'm done so we can go home." Kyo stated. With that everyone started walking home. Once we got to the gate everyone stopped.

" Bye bye!" Momiji said. " Goodbye." Haru said. We waved as they walked away and we then took are leave. As we walked home I asked Yuki.

" Did you get today's notes? I wasn't thinking about it and forgot."

" I saw you staring at the window the entire time. It worries me, but yeah I got them" Yuki said. Later once we got home we were greeted by Shigure.

" Tohru, lovely as always. Yuki, quiet as always. Kyo, mad as always."

" Shut it!" Kyo yelled. With that Shigure put his hands as a sign of defeat and backs away. Kyo quickly resigned to his room. Yuki and I sat down to study. Then the phone ringed.

" I'll get it." Shigure said walking toward the ringing phone.

" Yes. This is Shigure. She isn't avalible now can I pass it. Yes. Really. Yes of couse thank you." Shigure hung up. Kyo came down stairs and stood next to me to see what it was. Yuki and I stood wondering what is was.

" Tohru." Shigure said quietly and upset which is not like him.

" Your grandfather is. . . dead." Shigure said staring at the ground. My mind went blank yet It was racing. How could I let this happen. How could I let something as little as studying get in the way of something as this. I knew I should have called. Mom would be so mad at me. This is the second time. I try so hard on the long goal this that I forget the more important little things. Then regret it later. Why? I looked as if I was going to cry but jumped when I heard.

" DAMN IT!" Kyo said running toward the roof. Yuki grasped my shoulders to show that he was there for me. I stared at the staircase when Shigure said.

" Don't worry. That's his way of showing he feels your pain."

" Yeah." I said.

Grandpa. Mom.
