Chapter 8-

The next day, Hatori began doing a full body scan on Tohru. He was checking if her body was functioning properly. Since Tohru was woken up, she has hardly said a word. During the body scan, Tohru had flashbacks.
*Flashback*
"Um.. Hi! you probably don't know me, but I'm Sohma Ayu. Strange isn't it, I'm in Yuki's family, yet he and I never met. You may not know this, but you've been in a coma for 6 months. Yuki misses you very much, he loves you, and I'm sure you love him too. And by the looks of it, he hasn't told you yet has he? If you wake up now, you guys can start going out! Every girl loves it when a guy confides in her!" Ayu said cheerfully.
*End of flashback*
*Flashback*
"Hi." Ayu began. "It's been awhile hasn't it? How've you been? Everyone else is fine. Tohru... Yuki is very worried about you. I heard you have a fever, Tohru you have to get better. I-I know Yuki loves you, and you feel the same way. You probably think I'm coming in between you two right? I'm sorry Tohru! I tried not to! I couldn't control my feelings...Yuki was so-so nice, caring and kind. I felt so safe when I'm with him..I-I couldn't help it. I-I fell in love with Yuki. I love him. But I know he doesn't feel the same way for me. He loves you, and only you. You probably think I'm a bitch for trying to steal Yuki away from you, and you probably don't want me to come near you, but that was never my intention, I'll be leaving soon anyway. I haven't told anyone this, but I'll be leaving Japan next month to go to the States... America..Land of many opportunites.....Tohru please wake up, you hafta wake up and be with Yuki, and stop this maddness." Ayu said in tears.
*End of flashback*
Hatori walks up to Tohru.
"Tohru, you're almost in perfect condition, except you can't walk until you're legs are strong enough." Hatori said.
Tohru says nothing. Hatori then walks back to tell the others the news.
"So how is she Hatori?!" A concerned Yuki asked.
"Well.."
"WELL?" They all said.
"Well.. Tohru seems to be in perfect condition. Everyone cheers. "Except she can't walk because she was in a coma for so long her legs have gone weak." The cheering stops.
"But she'll be okay after her legs are strong enought to support her right?" Momiji asked.
"Yes, that's what we believe."
"Can we go see her?" Haru asked impatiently.
"Yes you can, but don't all rush in at the same time."
"Don't worry! We'll take turns." They all said.
First Yuki, Kyo, Shigure, and Momiji went in first. Tohru was sitting up in her bed, just staring a the wall with a sad look.
"Hi Tohru!" Momiji waved.
"Tohru-kun!" Shigure smiled.
Tohru didn't say a single word. Everyone thought it was strange. Being Tohru, she would always say hello or something cheerful. But now, she simply jus gave them a blank look.
"Tohru? Are you okay?" Yuki asked in concern.
"I'll go get Hatori." Kyo walked out the door, and five minutes later walked back in with Hatori.
Hatori then checked Tohru. She seems to be fine other than not being able to walk. It could be that she was in a coma for so long, she can't talk. But I'm sure it'll only be temporary." Hatori said.
"Tohru, you're coming home tomorrow. Are you happy?" Kyo asked.
Tohru just stared at them.
Maybe you guys should go out for a moment. I want to talk to Tohru." Yuki said. As soon as everyone left. Yuki started talking again. "Tohru.. I have something to tell you.." Tohru looks at Yuki. "Tohru, I love you..I've been meaning to tell you, but then the accident happened and I'll protect you no matter what. Even if you can't walk or talk anymore, I'll always be by your side." Tohru's eyes widen but still said nothing, she just hugged him. And of course being Yuki, he hugged her back. He held her tight, as if she were to fly away if he let go.
'I love you too, Yuki.' Tohru thought, and felt tears welling up in her eyes.
NEXT FEW DAYS
"Time to go, Tohru!" Momiji smiled. Everyone already packed up Tohru's things and headed out to the car. (Hatori was driving them home by the way.)
SHIGURE'S HOUSE
"Aren't you happy to be home, Tohru-kun?" Shigure asked.
"Who are you? I don't know you guys.. This isn't my home..." Tohru spoke up.
Everyone was stunned.
