Two Halves, Into a Whole
By: Gingko-chan
Yay! The fourth chapter! I put this up too because I think the third chapter is too short, so I wanted to upload another one...that's probably a really stupid reason, but...Bah! -_-
Neways, enjoy!
The same hair, the same eyes, the same face even, but it wasn't Tohru
"Honestly, how many times do I have to tell all of you that I'm not my aneki!!" The girl crossed her arms in front of her chest, and gave an exasperated, un-Tohru-like sigh. "Can't a girl come and pay respects to her sister without being accused of being her sister's ghost?!"
The priest was the first to come forward, and he offered her some incense, which she placed at the altar, before bowing and turning to the family.
Her grandfather looked at her with tears in his eyes, "Kyouko? Kyouko? Is that you?"
"No, grandfather, it's Yui. Remember?", the girl gazed softly at the old man and gave him a sweet, Tohru-like smile.
God, she looks so much like Tohru
Yuki turned his head to look at Kyou, Hanajima, and Uotani and could tell they were thinking the exact same things as he was.
Could this be Tohru's sister? Her TWIN sister? I've never heard of this from her...and where has she been all this time?
~
It had been nearly two weeks after the funeral, and Tohru's coffin had been lain into the ground already; empty. Tohru's body had never been found.
The kitchen, as well as the house itself, had been getting dirtier, because no one was there to clean it up, Tohru wasn't there anymore.
Shigure spent more time than ever with his work.
Kyou hadn't been home since the funeral, he had been training at Shishou's, staying the nights there as well.
Yuki went out every day to his secret base and tended to his strawberry patches.
None of them wanted to stay in the empty, quiet house.
Yuki, however, still frequently ventured into Tohru's room. To clean it, and breathe in her scent. The scent of spring and innocence.
I could've saved her, now she's gone...forever.
~
It was nightfall of the first day of the third week, since Tohru had been gone and they were all sitting around the table, eating takeout pizza. Momiji had come by with Hiro and Kisa. Shigure had inexplicably invited Ayame and Hatori. Haru had just tagged along with everyone else.
BRRIINNG!! BRRIINNG!!
The telephone.
Momiji ran to pick it up, "Moshi moshi? Yes, this is. Oh, really. Hello. Yes, I don't think it would be any trouble if you came over right now. Okay, see you soon. Bye bye!"
He walked back over to the table, and set himself down at the table and grabbed another slice of pizza.
"Momiji, who was that?"
"It was Tohru's sister, remember? We saw her at the funeral."
"What? Why is she coming over n..."
They were interrupted by the doorbell, and all looked at each other, expecting the one sitting next to them to open the door. This continued for a few more minutes.
The doorbell rang again.
Yuki rose hesitantly to get the door. What am I doing?! Looking at her will just bring bad memories, and they're something that I do not need...
He reached for the doorknob, and slowly twisted it and eased it open, standing there was that girl.
She was dressed in a blue denim dress, neat and simple. Her hair was tied up in a loose bun, with two strands of hair down in front of her ears. She smiled shyly at Yuki. It involuntarily made him think of Tohru...
"Hello."
Yuki smiled back, as politely as he could and said, "Would you like to come in?"
"Sure, thank you very much."
"You're welcome."
Yuki couldn't help but stare at her, and notice how much she looked like Tohru...
Everything about her was so similar to the Tohru he knew, and...loved.
Soon, they found themselves in the dining-living-room, facing eight pairs of eyes. She smiled softly at the Juunishi and gave a quiet 'hello'. The others responded with their hellos.
Then, a silence settled in the room. No one knew what to say...
Momiji finally broke the silence, "Ne, I don't think we've been properly introduced yet! I'm Souma Momiji! That's Haru, Yuki, and Kyou." He pointed to each of them individually.
"Souma Hiro."
"I'm Souma Hatori, and these are Shigure and Ayame."
The girl smiled, and introduced herself, "I'm Honda Yui, twin sister of Tohru. I'm very pleased to meet all of you. Aneki has told me a lot about you."
This made tension crackle in the air, as Hatori asked, "How much do you know?"
Yui put her head to one side in confusion and with a questioning look, "That she lived with Shigure-san, Kyou-san, and Yuki-san. That you are all very kind people. Hatori-san's a doctor, Shigure-san's a novelist, and Ayame-san owns a clothing store."
"That's all you know?" Hatori asked again in his toneless voice.
"Hai, that is all I know. From her letters."
Her statement prompted Yuki to look at her, Letters? She probably doesn't live around here then...
Yui caught Yuki staring at her, and turned to look at him as well, "Yes, Aneki sends me letters every two weeks, to England."
"Could you tell us something more about this, Honda-san?"
"Well, I guess so. You see, I go to a boarding school in England, called Yorkmaine Academy. I've been at that school for as long as I can remember, because Mother couldn't afford to take care of both of us, after Father died, so I was sent to boarding school. Aneki and I are very close, we've always been very close. Money would be sent to me at boarding school every year as school fees. I only just heard of Aneki's death two weeks ago. My uncle really doesn't like me all that much, so I rushed back here after tying up some loose ends with my school and such. I'll probably be going back soon, after all of Aneki's things are in order."
All of them were looking at her, all of them wondering why Tohru had never told them that she had a sister. A TWIN sister, nonetheless.
To be continued....
Yay! Done the fourth chapter, hope it wasn't too short or too fast-paced. Please give me comments and feedback, and...stuff... ^-^ Gingko-chan*
