Chapter 3

Tohru's POV

The rest of the day went by very quickly. Uo and Hana showed up and we made great progress on cleaning the house! We cleaned everywhere, except the Sohma's bedrooms and Shigure's study, because there is no need for those rooms to look nice, because the doors will stay shut.

I sigh as I slip under the covers on my bed. I'm so tired. This day has been long. I close my eyes and slip into a deep sleep, dreaming of my family.

The next morning, I bolt awake and jump up, taking a quick bath and changing into a white shirt with quarter length sleeves and a short red skirt with shorts underneath. Then I dried my hair, brushed it out, and braided it in two braids, before walking downstairs and cooking breakfast.

I hear a thump and I turn to see Kyo walking into the house, looking sweaty. He must've been training. I smile to him and he nods back. "Good morning Kyo! How was training?" I ask and he shrugs. "Fine," He murmurs, grabbing the milk out of the fridge and taking a long swig of it.

"Breakfast is almost ready," I say, when I hear something that sounds like feet dragging into the kitchen. "Good morning Yuki!" I say, but he doesn't answer back. He must not be fully awake yet. "Ah good morning everyone! If I'm not mistaken, today is the day we finally meet our lovely flower's family! Oh I know! Why don't I call Aya? I'm sure he'd love to meet-" Shigure breaks off in a cry of pain as Yuki's hand shoots out and smashes down onto his head.

"Don't you dare call that idiot!" Yuki growls and Kyo nods in agreement. "Ow, Yuki, why are you so mean to me?" Shigure whines and I giggle, causing them to snap their gazes to me. "Good morning you too. Breakfast is almost ready. Shigure, could you set the table please?" I ask and he nods eagerly, running to do his chore. I finish cooking and set it all on the table and sit down to eat with everyone.

"So, about my family. They can be, a little crazy. Now, first of all, they love martial arts, so they're all about fighting. Don't pick a fight with any of them, I can assure you, it won't end well. Next, as I told Kyo yesterday, a select few of my family eat, a lot. My brothers, my dad, and our friends, Vegeta and his son Trunks, eat mountains of food in under 2 minuets. It's disgusting, so just know, you've been warned." I say and they look at me shocked.

"Um, that's about it. They're all really nice people. Vegeta is a bit, well, um, let's just say, he has a bad temper, but he's a really nice guy underneath all of, him," I say and Yuki smiles. "Miss Honda, it's alright. I'm sure we'll love your family," He says and I smile back. "Great! Well now that that's settled, let's eat!" I say. When breakfast is over, Yuki leaves, saying that he's going to his secret base and Kyo helps me clean up, while Shigure disappears to his office. "Thanks for helping Kyo," I say and he blushes. "No problem," He replies and I smile at him, pecking his cheek again.

His whole face turns red again and I smile, skipping out of the kitchen. Hmm, what should I do now? I cleaned the whole house, and I don't have to start cooking for a few more hours, hmm, I know! I'll train! Knowing my family, they'll wanna know if I've been training, which I have, just not as much as I should've.

"Kyo," I start, walking into the living room where Kyo is watching t.v. "Yeah?" "I'm going out for a while. I'll be back in about an hour or 2," I say and he turns to look at me. "Where are you going? Do you want me to go with you?" He asks and I smile, shaking my head. "No, it's fine. I'm just going for a walk. I might stop by Uo's house. I'll see you soon! Bye!" I say, walking out of the house before he can reply.

I walk into the woods, out of eye sight from anyone, before charging up my ki and shooting into the air, flying away. I look around the area, until I find a small clearing, far enough away from people that I can really train. I smile and land there taking a deep breath, before charging up my ki once again, and shooting off energy blasts. I practice my Kamehameha a few times, and some others, before practicing my kicking and punching. Man, this would be easier if I had a sparring partner with me.

After about 2 hours, I stop, wiping the sweat off of my forehead, and flying back home. I land a little bit away form prying eyes, before walking the rest of the way home. I sneak inside and hurry up to the bathroom. Once I get there, I stop outside the door and shout a quick, "I'm home!" before sliding into the room and taking a quick shower. I change into an orange sweater and a plaid blue skirt, sliding on some shorts underneath, before putting two ribbons into my hair.

I walk downstairs and leave the bathroom door open, letting the steam leak out. I get out everything I bought yesterday and begin cooking. Finally, once it's done, I set it all out on the table, when Kyo and Yuki wander in. "Wow Miss Honda, don't you think that's a little too much food?" Yuki questions and I smile. This isn't even half of it. There's more in the kitchen," I giggle and Yuki and Kyo's mouths drop open. "Remember what I said about my family eating a lot?" "Yes, but this is way too much! No one could eat this much!" Yuki exclaims and I smile. "You've never met my family."

Shigure wanders out and looks at all the food, before smiling at me. "Tohru flower, is your family here yet?" He asks and I shake my head. "Nope!" I say, popping the 'p'. "Aren't you even gonna say anything about the mountain of food on the table?" Yuki questions and Shigure shrugs. "Damn dog," Kyo mutters, before walking out of the room, no doubt to go to the roof. A knock comes at the door, and I feel my heart race as Shigure goes to answer the door. They're here.

"Hello, is Tohru here?" I hear my father's sweet voice ask and I run to the door. "Daddy!" I squeal, jumping into his arms. "Tohru!" He exclaims, wrapping his arms around my torso and hugging me tightly. "You found me."
