Yeah, I made up art class… And a few of the flashbacks I use later might be made up. It depends on what I need :-)
Italics are either thoughts or a flashback... You can probably tell the difference when they come up xD
Tohru
"Now, how do we start?" Tohru frowned in concentration as she looked down at the paper on the table in front of her and Yuki. It had the directions for the science project written on it.
"I think we need to decide what we want to make our model out of." Yuki's voice was so... Robotic that Tohru could hardly believe it. She was always so happy that it confused her a little when people were sad for no apparent reason, but she just smiled and nodded.
"Oh, I see." She looked down at the paper and continued, "It says we can draw or use clay. Are you any good at drawing?" She frowned, her drawing skills were lacking to say the least, but she thought she could make something decent out of clay.
Yuki was silent for a moment, but then said quickly, "I think we should stick to clay."
Tohru giggled and nodded in agreement. "That sounds good." She walked up to the front to get the clay and stopped near Hana-chan and Uo-chan's table. "What are you two doing?"
"Drawing," they answered together. Uo yawned and continued, "It is so much easier."
Hana nodded, not looking up from the large piece of paper she was drawing a lung on. "And we're both decent drawers. I hope you and the Prince are using clay…" She glanced up at Tohru and when Tohru nodded Hana said, "Good. I remember art class last year."
Tohru smiled. In their second year everyone was forced to take a drawing class… And let's just say that Tohru got and A… For effort only. She nodded then her hand flew to her mouth. "I forgot about Sohma-kun!" Yuki had told her she didn't have to be so formal when she talked to him, but she still felt a little uncomfortable with using his first name.
Tohru said a quick goodbye to Hana and Uo, grabbed some clay, and went back to her table. "I'm sorry for making you wait, Sohma-kun," she said, setting down the clay on the table.
"It's fine," Yuki said, looking at her with a blank expression so she couldn't tell if it was actually okay or not.
Tohru's apologetic smile faded a little. He was just so unhappy all the time. She grabbed a chunk of pink clay and started molding it into the shape of a lung, the first part of the respitory system that came to mind. She stepped back a little from the table so she wouldn't be in the way if Yuki wanted to get something off of the table and tried to think. She didn't know of anything bad that had happened in his family, news like that usually traveled around the school fast, and nothing had happened at school that had been especially horrible, the whole school would know about that too. Yuki's home life seemed fine... That night she stayed there, the worse thing seemed to be that he had a bad relationship with his cousin, Kyo, but she hadn't seen Kyo around school all year. The word was that he had transfered schools...
Tohru looked down at the decent looking lung and then stepped forward to put it on the table, tripped, fell forward, and hit her head on the table.
"Honda-san?!" Tohru blinked a few times to make the stars blinking in front of her eyes go away and then saw Yuki kneeling down next to her, a look of concern clear on his face. She became aware that she was kneeling on the floor, one hand on her head where she had bonked it.
"Tohru!" She heard Hana and Uo say her name at the same time and looked up to see them walking over, also looking concerned.
"Fine... I'm fine," She said, blinking a few more times. It didn't hurt very much, she had definatly been hurt worse.
Yuki stood up and held out his hand to help Tohru up, the faintest trace of a relieved smile on his face, and as soon as her hand closed around his, a sharp pain hit her head. And she was
Following Yuki outside to the back of the onsen owned by the Sohmas. Yuki had ran outside during a game of ping pong between Kyo and Tohru. Tohru had missed a shot she was sure had and yelled a loud, "I missed!" Right after that Yuki had left without a word.
"Yuk-kun, are you feeling alright?" Tohru walked closer to Yuki, she was a little worried. He had a hand over his mouth and there was something about his eyes...
But he was laughing! "Ha ha! Honda-san, you're so funny! Ha ha ha! You were so serious and- ha ha ha!"
"Um- You could have laughed in front of me," Tohru said, smiling now.
"Ha ha! No way, no laughing in front of Kyo... I haven't even laughed in front of my parents like this."
That confused Tohru a little, but she was really happy to see Yuki smile like that. For the whole time she had lived with the Sohmas, Yuki had never really opened up like that in front of her.
"Oh, and
Honda-san?" Tohru had let go of Yuki's hand and was back on the ground, her head in her hands. Her head was still in pain and she felt dizzy and nauseous now.
"Tohru!" Tohru's friends said her name again and Uo took her arm and pulled her up.
"Tohru, you're all pale, are you sick?" Tohru leaned on Uo while Hana felt her forehead.
"I'm fine," She tried to protest, but they said something about her needing to go home and started pulling her out of the classroom, Uo yelling to the teacher that Tohru was sick. The truth was, Tohru felt pretty sick all of a sudden. Could she have been alergic to the clay? And what had she been seeing while Yuki was helping her up? She had never been to an onsen with Yuki and Kyo... And she had definatly never seen Yuki laugh like that.
She was pulled out of her thoughts by Hana. "How long have you been feeling sick, Tohru? Have you been overworking yourself again?"
Tohru shook her head quickly. "N-no... It was really sudden. I don't know what happened."
"Well, you probably just need some rest," Uo said firmly.
Suddenly, the three nearly ran into a very young looking, second year boy with bright blond hair, but he sidestepped them gracefully. He smiled and looked at them, his smile faltering a little when he saw Tohru. "Sorry," He said.
"It's alright." That's right, Momiji was there too... He was the one who suggested the onsen trip in the first- What? Tohru shook her head, not knowing what she was thinking. She kept trying to figure out why she would remember something that never happened, but nothing came to mind. Maybe she was so sick that she was delerious...?
In no time they were at Tohru's grandfather's house. Tohru opened the door and called softly, "Grandpa?"
"That polite voice isn't going to help now," Uo said, pulling her inside. "Honda-san?" She called out.
"You girls are here early? Was it a half day today?" A kind looking, old man came to meet them.
Hana shook her head and said, "No, Tohru got sick so we thought it would be best to tke her home."
Tohru's grandpa nodded and Toru said, "I'm just going to go lay down." Maybe Uo was right and she just needed some sleep. After assuring her grandpa and her friends she didn't need anything, Tohru went to her room, lay down, and soon fell into a fitful sleep.
