Two weeks had passed since Tohru was sick, and things were pretty much back to normal. Kyou and Yuki fought like always and Shigure made perverted comments about Tohru. Tohru as always ignored these comments.
Tohru was lucky enough to have a night off from work. She was excited to be home. Yuki had gone to the video store earlier that day and picked out a movie for their little family to watch. Kyou was in the kitchen washing dishes while Tohru was making popcorn. Shigure was in his study working on one of his books. It was a lazy summer night for the gang and they were enjoying it.
When the popcorn was done and the dishes finished, the family gathered in the living room. Shigure sat in his chair while Kyou and Yuki sat on opposite ends of the couch and Tohru right in between them.
"What movie did you get?" Tohru asked Yuki as the previews played.
"I got Percy Jackson and the Lightening Thief." Yuki replied with a smile.
"I've been wanting to see that." Tohru said with excitement.
Kyou wouldn't admit it because Yuki picked out the movie, but he wanted to see it too. They sat and watched the movie in silence munching on the popcorn. While Kyou wanted to see the movie, he couldn't take his eyes off Tohru. She's so beautiful. I wish I could tell her how I feel. I wish she felt the same way. Kyou thought as he looked at her smiling face.
When the movie ended, Tohru decided to go up to her room. She didn't know why exactly, but she just felt like being alone. She needed to think. She was also going to have a little talk with her mom. All of the boys stayed downstairs. The phone rang and Shigure answered it. It was poor Mii.
"Shigure are you finished with your book yet?" came her crying voice.
Of course he was, but he was in the mood to torture the poor woman…again. "No." He answered in his usual sing song voice. "I have lost my muse. I just can't think."
"You're trying to kill me aren't you, Shigure?" She said the tears and stress apparent in her voice.
"Oh, of course not. I'm sure the inspiration will come to me. Well I must go. Good bye, Mii." He said hanging up the phone before she could say anything.
"Why do you torture that poor woman so?" Yuki asked.
"Because it amuses me." Shigure replied with a smile.
"You are a sick man." Yuki said shaking his head and walking away.
There was a knock on the door. Kyou went to answer it. When he opened the door and saw who was standing there, he couldn't speak. He was in shock.
"Hello. Is Tohru here? I heard she was staying here."
In Tohru's room…
Tohru sat on her bed looking at her mom's picture. "Mom, what should I do?" She asked the picture wishing so much that she was there. "I'm so confused. He means so much to me and I'm not sure how to tell him. I need your advice, Mom. I need you." Tohru sat there staring at the picture. She needed her. Tohru heard a car pull in and a knock on the door. She decided to pull herself together and see who it was. It might be Momiji or Kisa. They always made her smile.
Tohru was halfway down the steps when she saw Kyou was opening the door. "Hello. Is Tohru here? I heard she was staying here." Came a voice Tohru would know anywhere. It was a voice she hadn't heard for a while, but she knew it. Can it really be? She thought as she looked towards the door. Is it really happening? Is this a dream?
"There you are, Tohru."
Tohru stepped off the last step and looked up. It really was happening.
A/N: I know I'm leaving you with a cliffie, but I wanted to create some suspense. Any guesses as to who it is?
