Author's note: HI! Here I am again… I hope that you liked my first chapter. This one's a little bit more …well… I dunno… depends upon your POV… but to me it's actually interesting. I think I'm starting to really like Kyo-kun… he makes a cute cat. You'll know what I mean…just read it to find out okay. Oh yeah… I also added a little something here. Tohru and Yuki are going out for quite a while and in order to restrain Kyo from transforming into the moo-moo (it means monster in my language) form and destroying the whole city, they kept it a secret from everyone.
CHAPTER 2: THE REASONYuki is in one of those council meetings; one he wished he was never part of. He is frequently checking his watch for the time. "Honda san might be outside …waiting…" He keeps reiterating to himself as he had promised his russet –haired girl friend that they would meet outside the school gates after school. And without a doubt, if this continues, he will be running late.
"Why is this meeting taking so long?" Yuki thought to himself as he watched the other members of the council beat each other's head off on a school topic; he could care less about, in a meeting that should've been done an hour ago. It was never like Yuki to make a girl wait for him. "What if she leaves? … What if she gets mad? …What if she-" He wouldn't want it to start now. NO! Not with his own Tohru! His thoughts were cut off by the earsplitting shouts of the other council members in the meeting.
"We should develop a new chart plan for the next field day! The old one just won't do!" said the one on his right.
"The old one is just fine the way it is!" one bawled while expressing his irate hatred towards the other.
Yuki is getting frustrated with all the nonsense that these squabbling buffoons are talking about. He just can't take it anymore. "Honda san is waiting for me!" He have to stop this nonsense immediately…" That's it!" and with that, he stood up and said
"Why don't you both use the old and the new one? It wouldn't be such a hassle then!" Yuki stormed out of the room leaving the other members with big question marks on their heads.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Intermission
After Yuki left, CHEPOT enters the room with Shigure wearing costumes… black tights and capes that fluttered in the breeze made by a humungous electric fan beside them. And oh yeah…buckets with eyeholes on their heads….
Shigure: HHAHAHAHAHAHA! Hello everyone!
CHEPOT: HAHAHAHAHAHA! Hello!
Council member: huh? And who the heck are you?
Shigure: to protect the world from devastation!
CHEPOT: to unite all peoples within our nation
Shigure: to denounce the evils of truth and love
CHEPOT: to extend our reach to the stars above!
Shigure: Gure!
CHEPOT: CHEPOT!
Both: team bucket blasting off at the speed of light! Surrender now or prepare to fight!
CHEPOT: c'mon Kyo-kun! It's your cue!
Kyo: why do I have to do this?! It's embarrassing!
Shigure: you'll do it or no dinner.
Kyo: okay …okay…(sigh) meow that's right… HAPPY NOW? GRRRR!
And with that Kyo left angrily while subconsciously cursing everything and everyone he sees along the way.
( (Author's note) CHEPOT: I dunno where I got this idea but I just felt that the story needed it. But sometimes I could be wrong. So if you think it's stupid, tell me.)
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Tohru is standing outside the school gates waiting for Yuki… who's five minutes late
"Is he coming?" Tohru wondered. She was left alone outside the school gates. Momiji and Haru left almost and hour ago and while both Arisa and Hana Chan left just moments ago. They insisted on keeping her company but she kindly declined their offer. She knew that she needed to be alone with Yuki to tell him.
A few seconds later, Tohru felt nauseous. She knew what would happen next so she ran to the nearest tree and started to vomit.
"I never thought that this was hard." Tohru said while wiping her mouth with her handkerchief.
After making sure she's able to stand on her feet again, she went back to where she was standing and saw Yuki standing there.
Yuki immediately spotted her from afar. He didn't waste another minute to approached her and say sorry for being late.
"I'm sorry Honda-san. I was in a meeting and it took a little longer than expected to finish" Yuki said while examining Tohru's feature.
Tohru smiled at him and said, "That's alright Souma kun. It's a responsibility that you have to face."
Tohru looked sick and this made Yuki a little worried. "You don't look so good Honda san. Do you want to rest in bed?" he said after seeing his Tohru, with pale skin and with an unhealthy twinge in her face that is unnoticeable to the naked eye except for the people who are used to being around her. And Yuki was definitely one of them. (A/N: DUH! She lives in their house…and not to mention that fact that she collapsed in front of him for quite a lot of times.)
Tohru looked at Yuki with eager eyes and said "Souma kun… this is really important." With that, Tohru began to lead the way. She was determined to tell him what was bothering her for the past few days and this cannot wait 'til tomorrow. It was something that she cannot contain anymore.
Yuki understood that Tohru means to tell him something very significant that it goes beyond her own health. But he never set aside the fact that she never was a good listener when it comes to her own physical condition. Her body is so very susceptible to diseases that she can easily catch fever without noticing and collapse in the middle of the road. And by following her around, that would mean that he is liable to carry her home when she does collapse. (A/N: which is hard considering the fact that he turns to a mouse when he get squabbled… but then a again… he could call his minion mice to help him carry her… but that's just groze…)
"Okay… but we have to make this quick. Then you will go straight to bed." Yuki said while he followed Tohru.
The two spent most of the time walking and not talking. They passed by almost all of the establishments in town until there were none to see. He was assuming that they'd discourse inside a coffee shop or somewhere where they can eat and talk but it seems that Tohru was planning on something different.
Tohru took Yuki to the over view cliff, where they can both see the view of the whole conurbation. Both sat on a bench facing the whole view. Yuki licked his ice cream, which he bought along the way with Tohru. Yuki thought that this might make her feel a little cooler and hopefully, a little better.
It was almost twilight and both have been silent for quite a while.
Tohru stood up and walked towards the rails in front of them. She leaned on them and faced Yuki who just stared at her with great admiration for her beautiful gleaming eyes that seemed to sparkle. She smiled and spoke "Do you hate sunsets?"
"Huh? " was all that Yuki could say. He expected something more from Tohru than just a plain question about the sunset.
"Souma kun… do you remember that special day? The one-day in every 6 years … when all the Souma Juunishis is freed from the curse…" Tohru continued.
Yuki had the feeling that he knew where this was going but he is hopeful that it will not meander the way he thinks the scene would. This importunate feeling in his heart just keeps on infuriate him every now and then; like a pesky fly in the hot afternoon.
"That was a month ago…" Yuki commented.
Tohru gently smiled at Yuki. "It was a the best day in my life. I get to hold everyone without worrying that they'd turn into the Juunishi animals… and I spent the whole day hugging them. "
"Please don't remind me," Yuki simply uttered while raising his palm as a sign of displeasure
Tohru giggled at Yuki's words. "And you were furious about it too…"
"You should put in mind that a man don't want to see his girlfriend hugging other guys and it's not an excuse if they're family or not." Yuki said; slightly irritated
( (AUTHOR'S NOTE) CHEPOT: …isn't that sweet…Yuki…jealous… I wish I were Tohru)
"It was also our first monthsary…ne?" Tohru continued.
Yuki followed "It was the best gift for our monthsary… "
Tohru frowned in disappointment. "Yes…"sniff" it was…"
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Okay! I'll end this chapter right here…just to keep you hanging… I hope you'd wait for my next chapter… I promise I won't bore you to death… it' won't also be a long wait…. It's just that I have so many things to do and so little time… so please bear with me. But please don't forget to review my work for typo or grammatical as well as factual errors. I am bound to make many mistakes in the future. At least that was what that really expensive fortuneteller told me. And I think this fanfic is not an exception…(lousy fortune teller… wasted my 50 bucks for her! You know what? I think she's right. I made the big mistake when I paid her to tell me something so SENSELESS!!!! ) But enough about me … you already know that my life is miserable… so please review…. And you're also welcome to rant about your life. I like to listen to people who're less fortunate than I am makes me feel better inside… it's nice to think that there are people with worse fate than mine…. But hey! Don't think that I'm a bad person… I just want to get away from my problems for a while.
