Yuki yawned as he woke up, he felt strangely dizzy at the moment. Oh, he thought, how long have I been asleep? Before he had got up he noticed that dinner tray was beside his bed. His stomach growled, he just realized that he hadn't really eaten anything but breakfast that whole day. Yuki picked up the tray and lifted the lid to see what was prepared for him. Stewed leeks were steaming on the inside of the pot.

"Aah, its still warm," Yuki said as he ate very happily. Now that he was content, he got up and took the trays down to the kitchen. When he got down to the kitchen, he placed the dishes into the sink and turned to go back to sleep upstairs. But he heard a noise and his curiosity made him want to see what happened.

"Huh?" Yuki whispered into the air. He looked around the whole downstairs until he came upon the living room where Tohru was asleep and snoring softly. She was sleeping on the table where textbooks and papers were laid out.

"Oh no," Yuki thought to himself, "Either Tohru had a little too much homework for this evening or she didn't have a chance to finish it because she was to busy worrying over my minor attack earlier today. Uggh, I feel terrible, and I'm sure that stupid cat and Shigure didn't make it much easier for her seeing as they are always whining about food," he went over to where she was softly sleeping. There he looked at a paper that had the assignments she had to finish all written out. He started with the first homework assignment on the list and worked his way down. It hadn't taken Yuki that long but he had managed to finish every last bit of her work. He placed a blanket over Tohru's shoulders and trudged wearily up the stairs. When he had gotten to his room he had fallen into a deep sleep.

Tohru woke up the next morning with books and papers scattered all around her. When her eyes adjusted to being awake, she saw to her surprise that Kyo and Shigure were already eating leftovers from the previous night's meal. They didn't seem too happy about it either. All of the worries she had had the day before all rushed back to her. She now realized why books and papers were all over the table where she sat: she had fallen asleep doing her homework again.

"Wa-ah! I didn't finish any of my homework and I had so many assignments due today!" Tohru panicked out loud I have to start acting so much more responsible, I feel as though I have been slacking off lately, Tohru thought to herself as she began to cram books and papers into her bag.

"Tohru your homework has already been taken care of you don't need to worry about it. I am so sorry if I was any trouble to you yesterday its just I felt so claustrophobic around those girls yesterday," Yuki came into the room attempting to explain his apology but Tohru was still focused on her homework.

"B-but how did it get…" Tohru had barely finished her thought when Yuki began to answer her question.

"Well I felt terrible for the way I acted yesterday, so I did your homework for you when I saw you fell asleep. I really hope I wasn't too much trouble. It's just those girls made me feel so claustrophobic I couldn't breathe. When they started to separate us and close around me I just started to panic and I had to escape so I managed to take you with me," Yuki said sheepishly, a blush rising to his cheeks.

"What?! You did my homework for me?! Oh dear that was too much! I mean you didn't have to I could've done it all this morning," Tohru began her usual rant of being to much of a burden on everyone.

"Tohru, don't worry about it. Now you have to eat breakfast to get your mind off all these things, I'm really sorry that its leftovers but this is the first thing I haven't burnt in a while so please forgive me," Yuki said chuckling.

"You can go get ready for school after your done with breakfast. Seeing as this is the beginning of the last month of school, our grade gets to go in later than everyone else for the entire week. Be sure to take your time seeing as we have so much to waste at the moment," Yuki finalized.

Motoko had read the letter over and over and over again but she still couldn't grasp its full meaning. Who would want Tohru Honda to themselves anyway? Had a boy in their school leave this note on her desk? No, no boy in his right mind would crush on Tohru Honda, Motoko was thinking to herself. But the letter did say she would be rewarded if she succeeded in her task. The Summer Festival was coming up near the end of next month and Motoko wanted to be sure that she would be Yuki's date. She shuddered at the though of the Festival. The Summer Festival meant graduation, and that meant she would never be able to see her beloved Prince Yuki ever again. She was losing herself in her thoughts. She snapped back to reality at one of the members of the fan club's voice.

"President Motoko," one of the members whined.

"Why did you only call us three for this super secretive meeting, Ms. President? And why on a lovely Friday afternoon?" one of the younger girls asked.

"It is about a letter I had received yesterday. The letter concerns Tohru Honda. And I would very much appreciate it if you would stop your childish whining and listened to me," Motoko said in an annoyed and quiet voice. At this the girls perked up and discontinued all of the complaining and chatter.

"Now as I was saying, the letter I received indicated that at the Summer Festival we would need to make sure we can arrange for Ms. Honda to be coincidentally by herself for a certain amount of time. Even if it's a short while, our client made it clear to me that this absolutely has to happen. And I have decided to oblige to his request," Motoko had left out the part about being rewarded for their services. She felt that she needed to discover that area by herself, because she had a great feeling that it concerned Yuki. She glanced outside the window and looked across to a classroom in a different part of the high school building. There she saw her beloved Prince Yuki running one of his student council meetings. But she also saw Tohru Honda who was sitting amongst the members. He seemed to be smiling at her, but I've never seen him smile like that, Motoko thought. She sighed and began her own fan club meeting.

"And if you have anymore questions or suggestions for the Summer Festival that you happen to think of over the next week, please share them with me at the next meeting," Yuki said as he concluded his council meeting. As everyone got up and left the room, Tohru was the last to stand.

"Are you ready to go home?" Tohru asked Yuki as he tucked papers and books away in his bag. They walked out of the school together and made for their steady walk home.

"So Tohru, what are you making for dinner this evening?" Yuki asked trying to start a conversation.

"Well I'm not quite sure yet but I was thinking about some old fashioned rice balls seeing as we haven't had them in such a long while. But I think this time everyone can choose which ingredients they want with their own," Tohru replied with one of her one of a kind smile on her face.

"Oh rice balls. That sounds absolutely delicious. I'm looking forward to it," Yuki said in a rather excited tone. It wasn't that the rice balls had excited Yuki. It was the fact that there was something he was itching to tell Tohru and he was having extreme difficulty holding it in.

"Yuki, if it wouldn't be to much trouble… can we stop by the grocery store for a couple of things?" Tohru asked with a pathetic look on her face. She hated asking him to do errands with her she felt uncomfortable doing so seeing as it had been a long day at school.

"Oh. No problem at all!" Yuki replied all to happily. He thought of it as more time to talk to Tohru. With Kyo hanging around the house there weren't really times where he could have a calm conversation with Tohru, as he would've liked. In no time they had arrived at Shigure's house and Tohru started to make her rice ball dinner.

Al four of the people seemed very satisfied at the idea of adding their own ingredients to the rice balls. It was a very eventful and talkative dinner that evening.

"Oh Tohru… I think these are the best rice balls I have ever tasted in my entire life!" Shigure said as he made himself comfortable in the living room and flipped on the TV and started to search through the channels.

"Yup, dinner was really good, as usual, I guess," Kyo stammered trying to choke out the compliment. He had had been having a bad day today. "I am going up to the roof top to relax for a little while," Kyo said as he noisily climbed up the ladder.

"Miss Honda, will you join me outside for a few moments?" Yuki asked nervously.

"Of course," Tohru said cheerily. The two of them had stepped outside and Yuki shut the sliding door.

"Here lets take a walk around the house," Yuki suggested taking hold of Tohru's hand.

"So Yuki, is there something on your mind that you would like to tell me?" Tohru asked. Yuki looked at her smiling face. Whenever he did he just seemed to enter his little dream world: he could never talk right, he would stutter and everything. But all he needed to do was look back into life and see Tohru standing with him that's when he could attempt to regain his composure. Tohru was looking at him. He tried to find words to tell Tohru what it was he wanted to say.

"W-well, I know it is still very early to even be thinking about this but I just felt the need to ask you this question tonight," Yuki was stammering and blushing. Tohru was still looking at him intently.

"I j-just wanted t-to know if you would l-like to accompany me at the Summer Festival… When it comes around of course, I now it is still very early but I wanted to ask you sooner or later so I asked now," Yuki turned his face away from Tohru and looked towards the ground. Tohru's eyes widened and she suddenly lost her breath for a couple of seconds.

"W-well, I-I…" Tohru couldn't find words all she could do was stare at the blushing boy who stood before her. All she could do was blush herself.
