Chapter 4

Momiji Asks Tohru Out

A few days later Tohru is at school when Momiji runs up to Tohru and Yuki.

"I'm glad I caught you two before you left" Momiji says nervously.

"What's wrong Momiji?" Tohru asks worriedly.

" I was wondering Tohru would you like to go to the hot springs with me"

"Is it another holiday already" Yuki asks looking at Momiji suspiciously.

"No" Momiji replies looking away from Yuki.

Yuki looks at Momiji suspiciously putting his arm around Tohru's shoulder.

"I'll talk to you later Tohru see you Yuki" Momiji says leaving.

Tohru and Yuki head home because Kyo is staying after for football practice. They walk in silence until the house comes into sight.

"Do you want to do something tonight Tohru" Yuki asks hopefully.

"What did you have in mind Yuki" Tohru asks leaning onto his shoulder.
"Watching a movie in my room" Yuki says suggestively.

"I think that would be great" Tohru says kissing Yuki on the mouth before they get to Shigure's house.

Soon they arrive at Shigure's house unbeknowst to Yuki Momiji followed them and waited for Yuki to go upstairs before he knocks on the door. Tohru goes and opens the door and sees Momiji standing there fidgeting.

"Momiji what are you doing here" Tohru asks worriedly.

"Good evening Tohru I've come to ask you something important" Momiji says fidgeting with his hands.

"Come inside I was just ready to start dinner" Tohru says ushering him into the house.

Momiji follows Tohru into the kitchen and sits at the counter wondering how to broach the subject.

"Is something wrong Momiji" Tohru asks worriedly.

"Well earlier when I asked you about going to the hot spring" Momiji says.

"Yes, what about it" Tohru asks questioningly.
"Well you never really gave me an answer" Momiji says worriedly.
"I'm sure we would love to go to the hot springs with you" Tohru says.

Momiji's face falls as he realizes that Tohru misconstrued his invitation. Momiji gets up from the table and walks over to Tohru and taps her on the shoulder. She bends down to listen to what he has to say.

"I was asking you to come with me to the hot spring on a date Tohru" Momiji says.

Tohru stands there totally shocked as the cute little boy looks up at her. Tohru bends down and kisses Momiji on the lips and pats him on the head.

"I would really love that when would you like to go" Tohru asks kindly.

"This weekend if you aren't doing anything" Momiji says happily.

"That's great I'll see you this weekend" Tohru says hugging Momiji.

Then Momiji jumps up and walks out of Shigure's house with a big goofy smile on his face.
