Come Back To Me
Chapter Eight
Breaking
Tohru had finally finished packing. Uo and Hana had come over to stay the night as they were departing the next day. The day had gone nice enough, but it was the evening Tohru couldn't stand. She'd had this awful feeling throughout the day that only grew stronger as the evening persisted.
"Are you as excited as I am?" Uo asked, a huge grin on her face.
Tohru just sat on the sofa and stared out of the window. Where was he? What was he doing? Was he thinking about her? These questions had plagued her ever since he'd left her. It seemed an eternity since they were last together. The sex was so good then, so passionate, so loving, so gentle yet rough...
"Tohru? You there?" came Uo's voice, her hand was waving in Tohru's face.
Tohru blinked and came out of her day dream.
"Huh? What?" she said, blinking sleepily.
"You weren't even paying attention!" said Uo, a smile on her face "You were thinking about sex, weren't you?"
"W-What?!" retorted Tohru, damn, she'd been caught out.
"C'mon! You can be honest with us!" said Uo "You were thinking about Kyo, right?"
"What?" said Tohru "Of course not!"
"So," said Hana, gently sitting with Tohru, putting an arm around her "Who were you thinking about fornication with?"
"Fornica-" Tohru said, cutting herself "no one! I wasn't think about sex!"
"Likely story!" Uo replied "Just tell us. Are you shacking up with a new guy? Anyone caught your fancies? Was it that guy in Flare's the other week?"
"Well, he was – No!" shouted Tohru "I'm not 'shacking up' with anyone!"
"Fine, fine!" said Hana, grabbing her mug of hot chocolate and taking a sip.
Tohru grabbed her mug as well. The hot chocolate felt cold as it trickled down her throat. How could Uo and Hana have realised she was thinking about sex? Had it been drool slipping its way from her mouth, or just a very obvious thing anyone can tell?
"Well," said Uo, checking the clock and stretching "I'm completely shattered. Anyone else coming to bed?"
Tohru checked the clock as well, it was 1:20am.
"Yeah, I guess," she said, grabbing all three mugs from the other two girls and placing them in the kitchen.
Tohru walked to her bedroom door, just as Uo and Hana went to the spare bedroom.
"G'night, Tohru," said Hana and Uo.
"G'night!" replied Tohru brightly "See you in the morning!"
The
bedroom door closed and Tohru trundled into hers. Tohru clambered
into bed, one that seemed so empty and desolate now. She dragged the
sheets to her neck and rolled over, switching out the lamp.
The
room fell into complete darkness, and Tohru was laid on her back,
eyes open and staring at the ceiling.
There was no doubt in
Tohru's mind that Uo and Hana were talking about events just past.
They were going to try and find out what Tohru was actually thinking
about. She tried her hardest to push it out of her
mind, but it was very difficult. It wasn't until about 3:00am that
Tohru had finally settled and fallen asleep.

It
didn't seem like ten minutes had passed when Tohru's alarm began to
buzz, signalling 7:00am had arrived. She groaned and yawned as she
wandered to her wardrobe. Next to it was her suitcase and hand
luggage. She put her hand to her mouth and yawned loudly as she
pulled open the doors. She grabbed a pair of deep blue jeans and a
light blue blouse and proceeded to the bathroom.
She had a shower
and dressed. She then brushed her teeth and tied her hair back, she
couldn't be bothered to do it properly today.
She walked out of her room and knocked on the spare bedroom's door.
"You two up?" she called, opening the door.
Uo and Hana were still asleep. Tohru's face fell as she walked over to their bed. The clock on the bedside table read 8:00am.
She began shaking them awake.
"Yo! Uo! Hana! Wake up!" said Tohru, shaking them both.
Both Uo and Hana mumbled and rolled over. Tohru shuddered with rage, as she then ripped the sheets from the bed. Both Uo and Hana shuddered with coldness, and finally woke up.
"Oh, good, you're up!" said Tohru, beaming and dropping the sheets "Breakfast will be ready in ten minutes. Hope you like eggs!"
Uo and Hana mumbled as they dressed, they had in fact been up most of the night talking.
The morning went by slowly, and once everyone was ready, they left for the train station to Tokyo International Airport.
The journey took little over an hour and they walked into the glass-fronted Terminal 2.
"Okay, we got everything?" asked Uo.
"Yes!" said Tohru, a fake happiness in her voice; she didn't truly want to leave.
Tohru
then went through her bag to get her passport. It was then she
realised she didn't even have it. But then she remembered Uo had said
"Got your passport, Tohru" to her, and she looked at Uo.
Tohru
gave a look of shock to her two friends.
"Tohru, what's up?" asked Uo "Not feeling too well?"
"No," said Tohru "could you just give me my passport, please?"
"Tohru," said Uo, looking at her "I don't have it! Why did you leave it!?"
"Uo!" said Tohru, almost dropping her bag "You said 'Got your passport, Tohru' before we left!"
"No!" replied Uo "I asked 'Got your passport, Tohru?'"
"Oh, God!" said Tohru, smacking her head with her hand "I'm gonna have to go back!"
"We'll come with you," replied Uo, grabbing her suitcase.
"No," said Tohru "I'll go back, you get on the plane, and if I'm not back before the plane leaves, I'll get the next one."
"Okay," replied Hana, hugging Tohru "be safe and soon you soon, okay?"
"Okay," said Tohru, and with that, she left her two friends in the middle of Terminal 2 and went back to the train.

Back at 71B Evergreen Apartments, Kyo had arrived at the door. He began knocking and banging on the door. It was then he realised Tohru wasn't home, and he began to go through his keys. He withdrew the one for the door and placed it in the keyhole. The door failed to open, it was obvious Tohru had changed the locks.
"Son of a bitch!" Kyo angrily whispered.
The door to 72B opened suddenly, as Mr. Tobi came walking out.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?!" asked Mr. Tobi, his finger pointing in Kyo's face "My wife is trying to sleep! She's been ill all night and you're not making it any better!"
"Shut up, Mr. Tobi!" replied Kyo, it was then Kyo realised he could use Mr. Tobi's help "Say, Mr. Tobi."
Mr. Tobi turned around "What is it?" he asked, glaring at Kyo.
"Has Tohru gone anywhere?" Kyo replied.
"She left for Paris earlier this morning, so if you're looking for an argument, you're sadly being neglected from it here!" retorted Mr. Tobi, folding his arms.
"Oh, okay," replied Kyo "did she leave you a key or something? I've got some stuff in there I need to get."
Mr. Tobi turned on his heel
and walked into his apartment and slammed the door.
Kyo's fell as
he stared where Mr. Tobi had left. He turned back to the door and
looked for a possible way in. It was then that Mr. Tobi appeared once
more with a key.
"Here," he said, shoving the key into Kyo's grasp "just post it back through the door when you're done! I don't need that girl shouting at me, too!"
And Mr. Tobi walked back into his apartment, once again slamming the door. Kyo could've kissed Mr. Tobi as he slotted it into the keyhole and turned, the door creaking open as he walked into the apartment. He walked in and left the key on the table by the door, where Tohru's passport lay also. He took in the details of the once-forgotten apartment and took a deep breath. He was home...
What Kyo hadn't bargained for was that Tohru was on her way home to collect her passport. Neither of them could've predicted what would happen next...
