The Others – Chapter 2
It was the following day, a Monday for those who aren't yet aware of the calender, when yet again an air of annoyance and anger followed Kyo Sohma wherever he went. That morning when he reached into the fridge for the carton of milk, it wasn't there. As it turned out, Tohru was so busy tending to Kyos cut up cheek the night before that she had completely forgotten to do the shopping. So there was no milk, no miso, no noodles, no anything. Tohru freaked and, after apologizing many more times that was really necessary, promised to go to the store right after work.
Kyo slumped in his desk, burying his face into his arms trying to block out the group of girls surrounding his desk, questioning his cheek. Tohru felt bad. If she would have just stopped fussing over him and gone to get milk he would have been in less of a bad mood. She sighed, slumping in her seat as well.

"Done! Now, to get food for Kyo!" she marched off to the store. A girl on a mission. The store was just down the block, so it wasn't too much of a walk. Quickly running over the things she needed, she searched the aisles. Miso. Milk. Cookies (for shigure). And some more noodles. After checking out, she left the store and headed back home. The check out girl had given Tohru only 1 bag but it was one of the extra large bags and it was blocking her view. With her vision now slightly impaired, Tohru kept tripping and stumbling.
"Oh at this rate i'll never get back." she mumbled, tripping over a crack in the sidewalk.
"Excuse me. Miss?"
The voice didn't reach Tohrus ears and she kept forward.
"Excuse me. Miss?"
Tohru decided it was the wind. She took more more step forward.
"Miss!?"
And tripped over a big crack. Tohru yelped as she fell...right into someones arms. But whoever it was let her go almost instantly and she hit the ground, wincing. She stayed there for a moment, her hip throbbing. Pushing herself up slowly she turned to thank the guy who had at least tried to help her.
"Thanks for tr-..." what Tohrus eyes met with was not a man. But a large dark brown dog.
"EHH??!!" she scooted backwards, staring at it. The dog barked and stared back for only a moment before it turned, and ran threw a gate and up into a large abandoned orphanage.
"D-did some guy just...he's a....how did....was he always a..ehhh.." Torhu, completely thrown off by the dog stood shakily and picked up her bag and once more tried to return to the Sohma house. This time, with a little more on her mind than Kyos food.

Kyo practically pounced on the milk the second Tohru got through the door. Yuki and Shigure sat at the table. She blinked.
"You guys waited up? Why?" Tohru set the large bag down on the floor, allowing Kyo to rummage through it.
"You're over an hour late, Ms. Honda." Yuki said, standing. "We were worried about you." Tohru blushed and thought back to the dog on the sidewalk.
"Oh! Thank you for being worried. But i'm fine. I just ran into..I mean I just took my time." seeing that Kyo had his milk, she picked the bag back up and took it to the kitchen. Yuki followed.
"Who did you run into?" he asked.
"Or rather, maybe, what did she run into." Kyo asked, running the back of his hand over his mouth. Yuki glared at him but didnt say anything. Tohru giggle uneasily.
"Really. It's nothing. Don't worry about it."
I have to lie. How crazy would they think I am if I told them I think I bumped into a guy and he turned into a dog.? Well..I mean that part wouldn't seem crazy. Since they are the Sohma family with the curse. But...Shigure is the dog. So that guy definitely wasnt a Sohma. But maybe he was never a guy. Maybe im just over tired.
"?"
She blinked. "Um..yes?"
"Maybe you should to got bed now." Yuki suggested, concerned by her strange behavior.
"Erm..you're right. Bed. Um..well...goodnight everyone." Tohru, head ducked, took off to her room hoping a good nights rest would help explain the strange situation.
