Chapter 3: A Birthday Party!
If it isn't already obvious, we don't own Furuba, we aren't in Japan, and just so you know the birthday party isn't for Tohru, at least not yet……
Tohru went home with a heavy heart and two companions. Oh, I wish they knew what I'm going to do, but if they did they'd stop me… Tohru thought, mulling over her decision. Every time she thought of it, she teared up. Unfortunately, Kyo and Yuki noticed.
"Honda-san, are you okay?" Yuki asked, feeling her forehead gently. "Your cuts don't hurt, do they?"
"Eh?" Tohru said, "Oh, no, I'm fine. I'm sorry for worrying you! Tohru said, so flustered she almost fell over.
"Jeez, Tohru. Calm down or you'll hurt yourself again!" Kyo said, grabbing her arms and steadying her. He grabbed her hand, and watched as she looked up in surprise and then smiled a huge heart warming smile. Kyo blushed and said, "C'mon ,let's go home." He then toed her behind him.
Yuki was glaring silently at the back of Kyo's head. Back off, cat. Tohru-kun's heart is mine! I will win it tonight. Yuki thought angrily, not even noticing her used Tohru's first name. Kyo, however, had come to the same conclusion as Yuki.
Kyo glanced back at Tohru's adorable beaming face, ocean blue eyes, and silky brown hair framing her face and blushed. I love her, he thought, but how do I tell her? He wondered as they reached the house and went inside to find Aaya, Hatori, and Shigure drinking tea.
"Yuki!! How long I've waited for your sweet arrival!" Aaya jumped up and said.
"Nii-san, isn't it too hot for you to be this energetic?" Yuki asked, sighing.
"What the hell? Why are you and Hatori here?" Kyo shouted, dropping Tohru's hand.
"Kyonkichi!! Were you just holding my poor Tohru –kun's hand?" Aaya said, faking shock. "Our poor little flower!" Aaya skipped over, grabbed Tohru and dragged hr over to the table.
Kyo and Yuki were seething as Shigure and Aaya gushed over Tohru. Hatori sighed, and said,
"Ayame, tell them why we're here." Aaya looked up.
"Oh, that?" he said, "It's Gure-san's birthday!"
"What?" Yuki, Kyo, and Tohru gasped.
"I-I-I didn't know!" Tohru cried, jumping up, " I must make you a cake!"
"Ooh, goody!" Shigure said, "But can you do one more thing for me?" he asked as a perverted thought entered his head. (A/N What else is Shigure but a perv?)
"Sure, what is it?" Tohru asked.
Shigure gave her puppy dog eyes and answered, "Since it's my birthday, will you give me… a kiss?"
"SHIGURE!" Kyo and Yuki yelled, hitting him on the head and dragging Tohru into the kitchen.
"Oh, ah, um , wait, it is his birthday…" Tohru said as they let go of her.
"No, Honda-san, Shigure is disgusting. Stay away, even if it is his birthday." Yuki warned, shutting the sliding door.
"That reminds me." Kyo said absently, too busy flipping off Shigure, "Isn't it your birthday tomorrow, Tohru?"
"Eh?" Tohru said, turning around from measuring flour, "It is. But how'd you know?" He's so nice…Tohru thought, then shook her head.
"You're calendar." Kyo replied, then thought, Maybe I should tell her on her birthday? Aaya interrupted his thoughts.
"Tohru-kun!" Aaya said, "As it's your birthday too, we must celebrate!" he dragged her out of the kitchen and back into the dining room, despite hr protests.
Kyo and Yuki stared, then ran into the dining room to see Hatori's head in his hands as Shigure and Aaya handed Tohru a gaudily wrapped box. They watched as she lifted off the lid. And inside was…
