Chapter FourKureno looked down at Tohru and saw her tear-stained face. "Tohru-san, are you all right?" Kureno asked her, concern covering his face. "What happened?" He tried to give her his coat but she flinched when he came near. "I-I have to go Kureno-san." Tohru said, turning on her heel, but was stopped when Kureno grabbed her hand.
"You can't go wandering around town without a coat." Kureno told her. "Take mine." He tried to give her his coat again, but Tohri tried to free her hand. "Tohru. What happened?" Kureno kept asking her. "L-let me go." Tohru said, tears falling down her face. Kureno just figured out what happened.
Tohru's crying turned to sobbing and without thinking, she hugged Kureno and cried into his shirt. "I-it was h-horrible!" She said in between sobs. "Come with me." Kureno said. "Maybe we can fix the problem." He lead Tohru down the street and into the Sohma Estate.
"Hello?" Hatori said, seeing Kureno and a sobbing Tohru next to him. "Tohru-san, what happened? Come in." Kureno and Tohru came in. "What's wrong?" Hatori asked. "It would be better if I told you in the other room." Kureno said, as he and Hatori walked into the office.
"Tohru-san was raped." Kureno told him. "Do Shigure and the others know?" Hatori asked, looking back into the living room at a tear-stained Tohru. "I don't think so." Kureno said. "Excuse me, but may I use the bathroom?" Hatori gave him a look that seemed to say 'This isn't a good time for the bathroom!'
"Sure." Hatori said, going into the living room and sitting by Tohru. Tohru scooted away from Hatori and trembled. "Tohru-san. What exactly happened?" Hatori asked her. "Do the others know?" Tohru looked like she was about to cry again. "N-no they don't know." Tohru said, wiping her eyes. She shook her head as if to tell Hatori that it was too horrible to say.
Kureno came back and sat in a chair as there was a knock on the door. It was already 8:00 and Shigure was at the door. "Haa-san!! Is Tohru-kun in there?" Shigure asked as soon as the door was open. Hatori stepped to the side and the setting unveiled itself. Shigure saw Tohru tear-stained and sitting on the couch and Kureno sitting in the chair.
"What's he doing here?" Shigure asked, referring to Kureno. "Ah, he found Tohru-kun and brought her here." Hatori told Shigure, as he walked over to sit by Tohru. "Tohru! What are we supposed to have for breakfast and you're late for school!" Shigure told Tohru as she scooted away. "Shigure. I'm giving her a doctor's note." Hatori said, walking into the office. "Shigure, come here."
Shigure followed orders and Hatori told him what had happened. "I'm not that dumb. She couldn't have had a stomach virus. Wouldn't she be puking?" Shigure said. "No, tell that to Yuki and Kyo. I don't need them to worry why Tohru-kun wasn't in school today. The real reason is that she was raped." Hatori told him.
"Oh...Shall I take her home then?" Shigure asked Hatori. "I don't know if that's a good idea. The only person she seems to be comfortable around is Kureno-san." Hatori said. "But go ahead and try." Shigure walked into the living room and saw that Tohru was gone. "Where's Tohru-kun?" Shigure asked.
"She went home." Kureno said, as Shigure quickly left Hatori's home. He ran towards his house and he was glad he wore pants and not a robe. "Tohru-kun!" He yelled, looking for her. At last he found her. She was sitting on a bench crying. He sat next to her but she scooted away.
"Tohru-kun. It's me." Shigure said, trying to comfort her. "I know what happened. Why don't we go home?" He stood up and Tohru reluctantly stood up and followed him home. "Hatori told me to tell Yuki and Kyo that you had a stomach virus. That's the reason you didn't go to school today. Okay?" Shigure said,
"Okay." Tohru said, as they both walked home.
When it started to get to the end, it seems like TohruXShigure...But it's not and sorry it took me so long. Review!
