So, that end had a cliffhanger sort of! Anyway! Today is Tohru's 18th birthday! So? This means weeee party! Or just read the story, any will do! :D
Yuki woke to the smell of cooking eggs and rice. He walked down the stairs and saw Tohru was making brekfast. "Miss Honda, this smells delicous." Tohru just smiled and didn't say anything else. "18 Tomorrow" "You can't run forever, stop making everyone pity and disgust you." "M..M..Master?" "Tomorrow." Tohru was at hard making breakfast. Yuki hasn't noticed it's my birthday. I don't think I should tell him because then he will be all worried and dash off to a store and buy whatever he can find that is expensive. Soon, Kisa came downstairs rubbing her eyes. "Sissy! School isn't on today." Kisa said. Tohru smiled. "That just means we get to spend more time together." They both giggled.

Yuki had called them for later that night. Now was step 1 of the plan. Yuki went to the cupboard. He acted like something was missing. "What's wrong Yuki?" Tohru said. "Wasn't there some rice in here?" Yuki said. He secretly put the rice in his bedroom. "Are you sure?" Tohru replied coming over. She gasped. "I'll go to the store r..right away!" The plan was succeeding. "Miss Honda, are you sure?" Yuki said. "Yes! I need rice tonight." "I really wish I could come but I have preperations to make. Also while you are at it, can you please buy everything on the shopping list?" Yuki said handing her a shopping list that'd take her a while to complete. "Ok! See ya later!" Tohru dashed out the door. Yuki called them, come now. Kisa was watching Yuki call everying single one. "Anything you want me to do Yuki?" Kisa said. "Just get on something Tohru will go insane with love over!" They both chuckled.

Tohru walked, well more of a fast walk. I really need Rice for the Rice balls. Since I first lived with Shigure, Yuki & Kyo rice balls have been a my favorite meal. Tohru finally got to the store and ran to the cooking section. "Rice, check!" She said grabbing rice. "Salmon, check!" "Apples, check" "Carrots, check." This went on for a while . "And Strawberries, Check!" Tohru was exhausted. It was her birthday too. When everyone had gone to sleep she'd celebrate it with her mother. Nobody noticed. Not Yuki not Kisa. Noone, has everyone lost interest in me? Tohru bought the items and walked back home. This time at normal speed. It was still dark like on the way to the store. I might get a call from Grandfather. But Uo and Hana haven't even called me or seen me. I was approaching the house when I looked down at myself. This is an alright dress, good for celebrating my birthday. Then I walked in the house. Kisa was standing there. Her head down in shame.

"Kisa? What's wrong?" Tohru said dropping her groceries and hugging Kisa. "Now!" Kisa looked up at Tohru!
"SUUUUUUUUUUUUUPRISE!" Everyone shouted! Tohru looked to her left to see the living (lounge) room. Everyone was there! Shigure, Kagura, Uo, Hana, Grandfather, Momiji, Haru, Hatori, Ayame, Yuki, Ritsu and even Hiro! I don't know how Kisa convinced him. Tohru just stood in shock. "F..For me?" Everybody nodded with a big smile on their faces. Tohru started crying. "Sissy, why are you crying?" Kisa said. Tohru pulled her face up. "Because I'm so happy! Thank you everyone." She said bowing. So, people do still like me. It was just a suprise. Kisa started pulling on Tohru's dress for attention. "OH MY GOD KISA! THAT'S ADORABLE!" Tohru then hugged her and wouldn't let go. So the party went on like any party. Music was on people were talking. Shigure was trying to talk to Uo and Hana but you know Hana scared him away. Tohru was talking to Kagura. "So, Kagura! When are you and Kyo getting married?" Tohru said jokingly. "H..He hasn't proposed! BUT I KNOW HE WILL BECAUSE WE'RE IN LOOOVE!" They both laughed. "So Miss Honda, how's the party." Yuki said walking up to her. "It's REALLY good! Thank you." She said smiling. The next second the front door slid open and a man stood there. He was wearing a button shirt and fancy pants. It kind of looked like a suit. Everyone stared at him. "Tohru come here." He said. Yuki put himself infront of her. "You're not going to hurt her." Yuki yelled. He just laughed. "Y..Yuki, please move." Tohru said and walked to the man head down in shame. "Your to come to your special place tomorrow. You know where you belong. It's starting." He gave her a piece of paper then walked out the door slamming it. Everyone stared at Tohru. Who's head was still down in shame. "Excuse me, I need to go to the bathroom." She said and walked slowly up the stairs. Before she got to the stairs someone spoke. "I'm sorry Tohru, there's nothing I could of done." Tohru looked at her Grandfather, then walked up the stairs.
"This dosen't have anything to do with you Sohmas does it?" Uo said leaning against the wall. The party had turned into a game of Guess What! "Not that I know of." Shigure replied. "We can't help her, she's turned 18. I'm not aloud to say anything but I'm sad she has to go through this." Tohru's Grandfather said. Everyrone just stood in silence. Tohru walked back downstairs. With a smile on her face. Her Grandfather wondered how she did it. "Why are you all standing around? It's a party isn't it?" Tohru said and everyone got back into the mood. Yuki walked up to Tohru. "Do you want to start unpacking your presents?" He said. Tohru froze. "Presents? No! I can't! People are just putting all their valuable money on me! I couldn't accept." She said. Yuki just laughed. "It'll be fine." Tohru started to calm down. "Presents time!" Yuki called out. And everyone scattered around the table. Tohru opened the first one. It was Shigure's newest novel. The second one. A stuffed bunny from Momiji. The third, a picture of Tohru and Kagura. The fourth was some ribbons from her Grandfather. A new dress from Ayame. Another novel from Hatori. A cow pillow from Haru. A picture of Uo, Tohru and Hana from Uo and Hana. "Three more presents!" Yuki said. Tohru opened the first of the three. She read the card. "Dear Sissy, You've helped me in my lowest lows and my highest highs and that's why I love you so much! From Kisa!" Tohru hugged Kisa! Then Tohru opened the real present. It was a hand made figurine type thing. A Tiger and a Riceball side by side. Hand on each others back. Tohru just hugged Kisa even more. "THANK YOU! I LOVE YOU!" Then Tohru opened the second. "Dear Miss Honda, I remember at the start of that year you were merely a girl in my grade. Then I overheard Shigure stating perve comments. I walked out and there was you. Later that week I found out you were living in a tent. It shocked me how strong you were. Always smiling. With your parents dead. Living in the woods. Then you went from being a girl in my class to my best friend. From, Yuki." Tohru looked at Yuki. "Thank you so much." Tohru opened the present to see a picture of her mom with a pink flowery frame. "H..Ho..How?" She said with joy and confusion. Yuki just smiled. Tohru then opened the third present. It had a note. Tohru picked up the note and read it really quick. She dropped the note, gasped and then she ran upstairs. But before she got upstairs she said. "Thank you for coming. Thank you so much." Then she left.
"How'd you like the party Kisa?" Yuki said after everyone had left. "It was amazing!" She replied. Yuki was just sweeping the floor. He stopped when he saw the note. He picked it up and read it. "Enjoying your birthday Beast? It must be fun. Enjoy it while it lasts, I don't know what they will think after the ceremony. One last thing. You can't hide that secret. Yours Sincerely. Yuki clenched his fists. He remembered throwing himself in front of Tohru. Looking at the man. He just smiled. Yuki decided to see Tohru. He went to her room and knocked. "Miss Honda, do you wanna talk." Yuki said grabbing a seat and sitting next to Tohru's bed. "You wont hate me will you. Ever?" She replied. Yuki was a bit shocked. "No, never. Nor Kisa, nor Uo and Hana. Not even that Stupid cat will ever hate you." Tohru turned around on her bed. She smiled. "Thanks Yuki."
