Akito stood up and left without looking at Tohru. She was left alone in this large room which remains to be "her" living room from now on. She looked around and all she could think of was how big everything seemed to be here. It was totally different from Shigure's house! Tohru stood up and went to the bathroom to brush her teeth. After she had done so she got into her pyjama.

"So this is it. My first night here. I wonder what they are doing right now?", she said aloud and her voice echoed in every corner of "her" bedroom.

It scared her a little and so Tohru decided to go outside for some fresh air. She opened the side door of the living room and stepped outside. It was a clear night with a mild breeze. She lifted her head to look at the sky. It seemed to her as if the stars were sparkling just for her to cheer her up. The moonlight touched her face and made her feel relaxed and comfortable. Tohru closed her eyes and smiled.

"There's really nothing for me to worry about!", she said to herself.

"Even if I no longer live in the same house with Shigure-san, Yuki-kun and Kyo-kun I'll still be able to meet them! And of course living here gives me the chance to deepen my relations with the others and Akito-san!"

Tohru felt stronger with every moment she repeated these words in her mind again and again. But in the end she got tired and went inside. She closed the side door carefully and after some steps in the darkness of her new home she reached her bed and got under the blanket. She repeated her own thoughts once more and fell asleep immediately.

The next day. Like her habit Tohru woke up even before the sun showed up. She decided to watch sunrise before preparing breakfast.

'Wait a sec .', she stopped.

'Breakfast .yeah, only for me or maybe .maybe Akito-san likes to join me?', she asked herself mentally opening the bathroom door. Under the shower she suddenly realized the one important thing that was missing concerning breakfast.

"Something is missing! Let's see. I came here and got my rooms. A study room for homework, the living room, bedroom, my own bath and kitchen ..kitchen?"

She closed her eyes and tried to remember were it was, the kitchen.

"EHHHHHHHH!!! The kitchen is missing! How will I be able to prepare anything if there is none?"

Tohru nearly collapsed when she remembered last evenings dinner.

"Hm. Right. The dinner was served for us. I had nothing to do just eating and watching the servants cleaning all up after we finished. I guess it has to be this way. Here are maids who make everything. I'll have to get on with it. But maybe they let me help from time to time?"

She finished her shower and got dressed. The sun was just about to rise so Tohru went outside to watch. Outside the first sunbeams revealed to her the whole beauty of the place she couldn't made out the night before. A garden. Big and full with a great variety of trees and flowers. She'd never seen such a beautiful and perfect arranged place. Her eyes widened. The view was breathtaking.

The pine trees and also the cherry trees with their huge treetops and little pink blossoms. The different flowers all around the area blossom out to colour the ground. And of course the little lake with it's tiny waterfalls. The sunlight twinkled on the waters surface and the birds in the treetops started their concert to greet the new day when a well known voice caught Tohru's attention.

"Beautiful, isn't it?"

She turned to her left. It surprised her to see him sitting on the wooden porch also watching the sunrise.

"A - Akito-san ...", she began to stutter.
