The new beginning for toharu and Haru

Chapter 2.The Answer

Tohru runs down stairs and slides her coat and boots on.Yuki watched her leave then he was putting his boots and snow coat on as well he runs after her, but didnt want her to know that he was following to see what she was doing.When she hit town it was like a singing chorus: O Little Town of Bethlehem, How still we see thee lie!Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by; Yet in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting Light; The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee to-night. For Christ is born of Mary, And gathered all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wondering love. O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth! And praises sing to God the King, And peace to men on earth. How silently, how silently, The wondrous gift is given! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of his heaven. No ear may hear his coming, But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive him, still The dear Christ enters in. Where children pure and happy Pray to the blessed Child, Where misery cries out to thee, Son of the mother mild; Where charity stands watching And faith holds wide the door, The dark night wakes, the glory breaks, And Christmas comes once more. O holy Child of Bethlehem! Descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin and enter in, Be born in us to-day. We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Emmanuel!

Tohru started to sing with the beautful chorus.Tohru liked to hear the nature calling.It was a nice snowy day and she wasnt going to be sad anymore.By the time she got to the BIG Sohma gate that is colored with brite colors with the zodiac animals decorating the colors.Haru stood right in fornt of it.Tohru slipped and fell over because the ground was covered with frozen snow(ice).Haru giggled then went over and helped her to her feet.He looked in her glimmering eyes and smiled he couldnt help to see that she was blushing but trying to hide it with her pail face."Haru i came here to ask you something.I want to know if you would go to the Christmas ball with me?"she said."Yes i would love to as long as you will a company me to the Sohma New Years Party.Tohru I have to tell you I have never dreamed of you asking me that I have always loved you since they day i set eyes on you."Haru said seriously.He kissed her pail face and Yuki seen what they were doing and was disappointed and jealous he stared at the couple kissing.Haru put his arms around her not caring that he would change into the cow...but he didn't he stayed in his natural form.Tohru stopped and began to wonder."Why didn't you transform?"she asked."Because i love you."Haru then kissed her pail cheek and hugged her tightly once more.The gate all of a sudden opened...
