I'm back!! It's been a quite a while since i've updated this fic, sorry -bows like Tohru-
Well the search is finally underway, I hope you enjoy the crazt adventures of Tohru and Momiji!!


'Ahh! This isn't going well...' Tohru moaned in her head as she checked behind another fluffy green bush, still merely steps away from the window the duo had just climbed out of. They had been searching for just over 5 minutes but still nothing, and Tohru was already beginning to fret.

'What if we can't find them?! What if something happens to them?! Oh, it'll be all my fault!' She could feel a wave of heat rush over her entire body, 'That must be the guilt…' she thought, but refused to let it get her down. With another determined nod she went back to searching the gorgeously articulate bushes of the Sohma estate. She had to admit, whoever the gardener was he really did a good job.

"Ah! Look what I found!" Momiji called out excitedly.

Tohru came rushing over; her face was a bit flushed from the unusual heat of the bright spring day, also a bit caused from all the searching and worrying she was doing.

"Yes Momiji-kun? Did you find something?" The hope was shining through the young girl's voice.

"Uh-huh!" Momiji replied bobbing his head up and down before holding something out from behind his back. "This!"

"…" Tohru inspected the object wide-eyed, "Momiji-kun… what is it?"

"It's a candy wrapper!" The rabbit beamed proudly.

"… are you sure?"

"Yes! Look here… and there, at the name!"

"Hmm… I guess but Momiji-kun…"

"Gasp… and its berry flavoured too!"

"Berry? I always though apple was you're favourite…"

"Toh-ru! Of course apple's my favourite!"

"Oh, but I thought… well it doesn't really matter… but are you sure it's a candy wrapper? It's all covered in dirt and hard to tell… hmm…"

"Yes, looks to be a wrapper to me." A monotone voice added.

The two shrieked and nearly jumped out of their skin, spinning to see a tall man with semi-long black hair hanging over his left eye and holding a clip board while wearing a long white overcoat. The man stared at the two expressionless.

"Might I ask, is there a reason you two are having a dispute over a piece of trash?" Despite the man's serious demeanour and voice, neither Tohru nor Momiji felt nervous or uncomfortable.

"Hatori-san! Ano… w-we were just looking for clues! You see… I was in the kitchen, but I-I hit my head, and when I woke up they were gone! So now we have to... find them… and…" The onigiri's usual blabbering was only half understood by the Sohma doctor who stood waiting patiently for an answer.

"We were searching for clues Ha'ri-san!" The rabbit chimed.

Hatori raised an eyebrow questionably. It didn't look like he was going to get anywhere.

"Eh, what Momiji-kun means… well that is… we, um lost…" Tohru, fiddling with the helm of her blouse, wasn't all too keen on telling the stern doctor that she had lost two of his younger cousins, and that she had no idea where they were and if they were safe. Momiji on the other hand, was all too keen on telling the story of the mystery search.

"We're searching cause Tohru was meant to be babysitting Kisa and Hiro but they went missing! So now we are looking for clues to find them!" The happy bunny told enthusiastically, ready to continue the search.

The doctor's eyes widened portraying slight shock and he turned to look at the babysitter who was now staring down at her shoes rather sheepishly like they were much more interesting than what was going on around her.

"You… lost them?"

Tohru's head nodded in shame.

Despite how he may appear, the dragon was quite sympathetic especially when it came to sweet, little Tohru. "Well, I don't think that bit of rubbish is going to help you." He started in his usual monotone voice. Tohru looked up and Momiji refocused his attention on the conversation, "But I think I did see them walking towards the main garden area a while ago."

Tohru's face lit up, "Oh thank you so much Hatori-san!" She sounded relieved as she bowed to the Sohma doctor.

"Yay Ha'ri!" Momiji sang bouncing up and down with clasped hands.

Hatori sighed, and if you squinted, you might have caught a glimpse of the corners of his lips upturning into a smile.

'Wow... he looks even more handsome when he smiles… even if it's just for a moment…" Tohru thought, admiring the elder dragon standing infront of her.

"You better hurry if you're going to catch those two in time." Hatori said as he took his leave.

"Ah… thank you again so much!" Tohru called after the man and he lifted a hand in reply as he walk away, clipboard tucked under the other.

"Ready to go Tohru!" Momiji asked.

"mm" She replied with a nod and they set off arm in arm for the well known main garden area of the Sohma estate.


Sorry, I'm not too sure what Momiji calls Hatori, but if i've got it wrong feel free to correct me.
Hmm... what Sohma will our duo meet in the estate garden?
Stay tuned for the next chapter to find out!! XD
