Dear spottingsencerely, I do realize that normally if Tohru hugged Kyo he would be a cat, I have read the manga. BUT this is the sequel to a Fruba Tale, which you obviously didnt read, and in the second chapter of that the curse was broken. You also didnt read the summary or the Authors note in the begining of the first chapter or you would have known that this was a sequel. Thank you for pointing that out, though.
Authors note: To everyone else that knows what is going on: I'm so sorry…I couldn't remember the name of the high school that they go to so I just sort of went around actually saying it. If anyone wants to inform me of it I will be happy to rewrite it but until then…ON WITH THE STORY…
The next morning, Tohru got up and went to find Hatori. "Hatori-san?" she asked as she knocked on his door.
"Come in, Tohru."
"I was just wondering if I could have anymore if that medication that you gave me yesterday. My ribs hurt again."
He handed her two pills and a glass of water. "I was expecting that you would. I'm glad to see that you can walk without them, though. That is good."
She smiled. "I'm a fast healer." She took the pills.
"Yes. Everyone else is downstairs. You should go join them."
"What about you?"
He smiled. "I am enjoying my peace, but I will be down a little later."
"Okay." She smiled and left. After she walked into the kitchen, Yuki asked, "How are you feeling?"
"I'm fine. You really shouldn't worry about me."
"We heard on the news that a certain kidnapper was arrested last night." Uo said
She smiled without mirth. "That's good."
"No it isn't! I should have gotten to him first!"
"We all should have." Kyo said.
"I'm just glad to see that you are okay!" Kohaku said with a big smile as she took something off of the stove.
"Thank you." Tohru said as she sat down at the table.
"Haru and Shigure are going to be heading back after breakfast. Hatori will stay just in case you need him." Yuki said.
"Only if he wants to, if not he can leave."
"I think he said he was enjoying his quiet time. I'm not sure how quiet it is going to be around here. The waves I am sensing are full of anxiety." Hana said as she sat down next to Tohru.
"Great." Kyo rolled his eyes.
"Tohru-kunnnnnn." Shigure sang as he walked in.
"Yes, Shigure?" Tohru said as she stood up and faced Shigure.
"I am going to miss you." He hugged her tight.
"Shigure….You're hurting me."
Yuki kicked Shigure in the side. "Moron!"
"Oww." He cried as he released Tohru.
"Are you alright, Tohru?" Kyo asked, concern clear in his voice, as he rushed over to her. Everyone stared at him in disbelief except Hana and Yuki. "I mean, suck it up squirt." He turned to walk away but Tohru grabbed his arm. She looked him in the eyes as if having a secret unspoken conversation. "I love you." He whispered.
"Louder, so everyone can hear." Hana prompted.
"I love her." he said, still looking deep into her eyes.
"I love you too." She leaned in and gently hugged him. Yuki walked from the room.
"What's his problem?" Haru asked.
Tohru let go of Kyo and followed him out. "Are you alright, Yuki-kun?"
He took a deep breath before he turned around to face her. "I'm fine, really."
"You don't look fine."
He walked over and looked down at her. "I am very happy for you and Kyo."
"Oh, no, Yuki, you don't feel that for me, do you?"
He smiled. "No, you are more like a sister to me. I think I am just jealous of what you have. I think that is why I have been so unhappy lately."
"You are unhappy?"
"I didn't mean that." He quickly turned around. "I am always happy."
"It is okay to be unhappy, Yuki. What can I do to make you feel better?"
"Nothing," he turned and faced her again, "I am fine, really."
"If that is what you want." Just then Kohaku came over.
"Are you alright, Yuki?" she asked.
"I'm fine." He turned and walked upstairs.
"Did I say something?" Kohaku asked.
"No, I think he is just sad." She started to walk after him but Tohru grabbed her arm. "Maybe you should give him some time before you go chasing after him."
"Okay." She turned and walked back into the kitchen. "I should finish cooking breakfast."
Tohru followed her into the kitchen. Shigure came over and kissed her on the cheek. "I will see you in three days, my flower. Oh, how I count the seconds." Kyo pushed him.
"Keep moving, perv!" Kyo said.
"Feel better soon, Tohru." Haru said as he walked past.
"Thank you." She smiled and waved as they left.
"Would you like to go down to the beach?" Hana asked.
Tohru looked shyly away. "Not today, I'm sorry."
Arisa tapped her on the arm. "Her belly is bruised up, she doesn't want people to see."
Hana nodded. "How about some cards?"
Tohru, Hana, Kyo and Uo sat down to play cards at the table. "I am going to beat you this time you damn Yankee!" Kyo shouted. "No dirty tricks!"
"You couldn't beat a rock, Orangey!"
Tohru smiled at the comfort of normalcy. "Would you like to play, Kohaku?"
"No, I think I am going to go upstairs." She left the others playing cards as she ran up the stairs. "Yuki-kun?" she called as she walked through the hallway.
"In here." he said from inside his bedroom. She walked over to the door and slowly opened it.
"Are you okay, Yuki-kun?" she asked as she stuck her head in.
"Come in." she came in and sat down next to him on the bed.
"Are you alright?" she repeated.
"I'm fine, how about you?"
"Fine…"
"May I ask something?"
"Anything."
"Where do you live?"
"Me? Um… I just moved."
"Oh, where are you going to go to high school?"
"Um…I can't remember, I haven't started there yet." He told her where he and the others go. (see, that is the best I could come up with )
"That's it! I think that is it."
"That's nice, we will be classmates."
"That's exciting!"
He smiled and nodded. "Yes, it is."
