Tohru had spent four days in the hospital and still hadn't been able to remember anything about what had led her there in the first place. Though she did have her fair share of visitors while she was there, none had volunteered any information as to the things that may have gone on to lead to her current situation. She had wanted to ask them, but she hadn't really found a time that seemed appropriate for that sort of questioning.

In fact, other than people asking her if she was feeling alright, the conversations seemed to be free of anything to do with her being in the hospital or anything leading up to her stay in said building. She didn't mind though, she was more than happy that her friends had stopped by and that they were still willing to be her friend, with or without her past memories of them and the things they'd shared together over the years.

Her hospital days had gone by rather slowly, and she spent most of the time resting so as to save up her energy for her nightly visitors. They were the best part of her day, so she didn't want to be tired when her friends arrived. Hana and Uo always stopped by the hospital right after school finished, while Yuki and Kyo would stop by later in the evening. Both sets of people would stay for around an hour before they were reminded by one of the hospital staff that Tohru needed her rest.

She was really hoping she'd be able to see her friends again today before she left, but it would have to wait until she returned to school the following day. All her friends would still be in class for several more hours, and by the time they'd get out she'd be at home with her family for the night because she was being released from the hospital in just a short time. Right after she finished the meal she had sitting in front of her, she would be free to return home.

After her last bite, she pushed the empty tray to the side and hopped out of bed. She thanked her nurses for everything they'd done for her and then asked one of them if her family had arrived to pick her up yet.

The nurse let out a small shrug and held out a small sheet of paper. "They called and said they couldn't make it in to pick you up, but if you head to the address written on here, they'll be waiting for you when you get there."

Tohru smiled and took the paper from the nurse. After a short bow and a little wave, she walked towards exit and looked at the address. Not at all sure of how to get there, she approached an older woman sitting on a bench just outside the hospital entrance and asked her for some help with the directions.

"Well, you just take this street past the next three intersections, and then turn right. Keep walking down that road until it crosses with the one listed on your paper." The woman gestured with her hand as she delivered the directions the younger woman would need to get her home.

Tohru thanked her several times over before leaving in the direction that the lady had shown her. During the walk, she started to wonder about what kind of a family she had. What were they like? Why hadn't they been in to visit her? And why couldn't one of them come by to pick her up today? She figured they must have been very busy people and didn't mind that they weren't able to visit, especially if it meant that they wouldn't be overdoing themselves by taking all that extra time to stop by just to see her. Busy people should be resting on their free time and should not have to spend it all in the hospital. There'd be plenty of time for her to get to know them again once she got home.

One thing she was excited about though was getting to see her cousin again. A familiar face would be more than welcomed right about now. He seemed like a nice enough guy when she'd been able to meet him – after all, he'd been in to see her the day she arrived at the hospital, even when he himself had been hurt too. Come to think of it, maybe he was in the same accident she'd been in. She'd have to ask him later if he knew what had happened to her. If anyone was going to tell her, she figured he'd probably be the one that would know best.

Once she arrived at the address that she was given, she took a quick look around at the place where she lived, double checking to see that she had the right place. It appeared to be a decent home, in fact, it seemed to be newer and larger than the others in the area. Slowly, she made her way up to the front door and knocked. Not knowing the place, she still felt odd about just walking in, even though it was her home.

Seeing the look of relief wash over the face of the woman that answered the door, Tohru felt more at ease to be home. 'This must be my Aunt', she thought to herself as she took a closer look at the woman.

"Thank goodness you're back home Tohru!" The lady in question said loudly. "Nothing's been the same here without you. I've almost run out of clean clothes to wear, so after you cook us lunch, you can throw a couple of loads into the laundry for me. Just don't forget to hang them on the line after they are done, because I'll be needing them by tomorrow."

Tohru just smiled at the woman and nodded. "It's good to be back," she said as she walked through the doorway and swapped her shoes for a pair of indoor slippers that were waiting in the hallway.

"Oh yeah," her Aunt continued. "There's also a stack of dishes that you'll need to get done before you can make our lunch, so you should probably start up with that and leave your unpacking until afterwards."
