Ch.2:Awakening
Yuki awoke with the sunlight warming his face. He blink his blue eyes, then stared at the girl he rescued. She still wasn't awake. He hoped she wouldn't die. Just then, Hatori woke up. "Ah, Yuki. You're still here? How is the girl?"
"No change," Yuki replied. "Hatori, you've got to do something."
"I'm sorry. There's nothing more I can do. We'll just have to hope she has the will to keep living. Come outside with me. We could both use the fresh air." Hatori left, and Yuki reluctantly followed him.
Meanwhile....Tohru was lost in unconscious, feverish dreams. *flashback* ~"Aaaah! Mother help!" A young Tohru was having a bad nightmare; desperately calling for her mother.
"Tohru, what's the matter?" Kyoko(I think that's her name.0-0) ran into the room, and gathered her tiny child in her arms. "Shhh. It's alright. You were having a nightmare. Go back to sleep." She tried to put her back in her bed, but Tohru wouldn't let go.
"No! Don't leave me. I'm afraid to be alone. I'm afraid......"Kyoko held her daughter closely, and kissed her forehead. 'Don't worry Tohru. I won't leave you. I'll always be with you......"~ *end of flashback*
Suddenly, Tohru woke up. The bright sunlight hurt her eyes, and she stilll felt very weak. She also felt a little delirious. *I'm alive?* she thought. She was suprised to find herself in a warm bed and dry clothes. She gingerly eased herself up to look at her surroundings. She was in a nicely furnished bedroom, and was wearing an expensive looking kimono. She was too tired to try to figure out anything, so she went back to sleep.

Shigure happily whistled to himself as he came up the walkway of his house. "Good morning, everyone! I'm back. Huh? No one here. Oh, well." He had just come back from a retreat where he was working on another novel. *Boy am I tired! I'll just take a little nap, then talk to the guys when they get back.* He went into his room, not noticing a sleeping Tohru. He took a shower, then put on some boxers and a light silk robe. "Sleep! Sleep! Sleep! Sleep!" Shigure sang as he climbed into bed, which woke up Tohru.
Shigure turned over to get comfortable, and came face to face with a wide-eyed young woman. They stared at each other for awhile, before Tohru screamed. "Aaah!!!!!" Hatori, Kyou, and Yuki just got back when they heard her scream. They all rushed inside, and burst through the door into Shigure's room. They found a shocked Shigure and a suprised Tohru.
Kyou and Yuki saw Shigure in his boxers, and yelled "Pervert!" before they beat him on his head. "Owww!" Shigure whined. 'What are you hitting me for? I was just trying to take a nap. She was the one sleeping in my bed." Then they all turned to Tohru, who was still staring at them in confusion.
"Um, I hate to interrupt, but who are you people?"
"I think I should explain," Hatori said. Yuki and Kyou scratched their heads, and Shigure was rubbing his. And Tohru still stared at them all, clueless.
* * * * *

They left Hatori and Tohru alone for awhile till he explained everything. They were sitting in the living room, waiting. Then Hatori entered with Tohru. He had an arm around her to support her. She looked at the other three Soumas. She stepped away from Hatori, and kneeled on the floor, bowing her head. "Thank you for saving me. And I am grateful that you took care of me. I am in your debt." Hatori knelt down, and cupped her chin in his hand.
"We are just glad you are awake. How are you feeling? Are you hungry?" He smiled at her, and it was so genuine. *They are so concerned about my well-being, and they are only strangers. My own family doesn't even care about me this much.* "I'm a little better and a little hungry," she replied with a smile. Her stomach growled loudly, and she looked down, embarrassed. "You poor child!" Shigure wailed. He wrapped her up in a hug. "You must be starving! Don't worry, Shigure will fill you up with hot, delicious food!"
"Ummm....." Tohru uttered sweatdropping and blushing.
He released her, and turned to Kyou and said:"Go get take-out."
"What?! But you just told her you were going to be doing it!"
"Now, now, Kyou. Don't be so whinny about it. Unless you want this poor, lovely thing to starve." Kyou looked at Tohru, blushed, then glared at Shigure.
"You better cooperate, baka neko. Or do I have to embarrass you in front of her?" Yuki whispered with a smug smirk. Kyou glared at him angrily. *Baka Neko? Stupid cat? Why is Souma-kun calling him a stupid cat?*Tohru thought. Yuki helped Tohru sit at the heating table in the living room, and she smiled at him. "Oh, and Kyou? Get her a broth or a soup. I don't think she's ready for solid food yet," Hatori added. Kyou grabbed his coat, and headed out irritably, leaving Yuki and Tohru alone.
"Hatori-san told me you were the one who saved me. Thank you Souma- kun," she said, taking his hand.
"You don't need to thank me. I would have done that for anyone who needed help. Umm, how do you know my name?"
"Because we go to the same school! Everyone knows you're the "Prince" at our school. I've never seen you before till now. I recognized you from your name. I never thought I 'd have the honor of meeting Souma-kun!" she chirped happily. Yuki stared at her in suprise, then smiled a bit sadly. *Would you still like me if you knew what I turn into if you tried to hug me after this month?* he thought. "What's your name?" he asked her gently.
"Honda Tohru."
"Well it's nice to meet you, Honda-san. And I think the baka will be back with your soup soon. If you don't mind, I think I will turn in now. Goodnight Tohru," he said warmly. He gave her hand a squeeze, then headed upstairs. About 10 minutes later, Kyou came back with the soup. He sat down across from Tohru, and pushed the soup in front of her.
"You better eat it while it's still warm," he said gruffly. Tohru took off the cover and tried some of the soup.
"Thank you for getting me some soup, ah........um.......What's your name?"
"Kyou."
"Oh! Well, thank you Kyou-san. This is very good soup, and I was so hungry." She smiled brightly at him.
Kyou blushed, and replied: "Just stop talking okay, and eat."
She ate a few bites, then pushed the bowl away. "Ah, Kyou-san. I think I 've had enough. Can you carry me upstairs? I think I'd rather rest."
"Oy, can't you get that jerk Yuki to do it?" he said. But then he started to feel bad. "Okay, I'll do it. Just wait a minute."
Kyou put her soup in the refrigerator, lifted her into his arms, and headed upstairs. Tohru wrapped her arms around his neck, nuzzling her head into his shoulder. *Her skin feels so hot* Kyou thought worriedly. He was thankful it was dark so she couldn't see him blushing.
He pulled back the covers on his bed, then layed her in it. Shigure was in his room, so Kyou let Tohru have his. He covered her up, and was about to leave, when she called to him. "Kyou-san, can you stay with me? I don't want to be alone." He knelt by the bed and took her hand. She grasped it tightly. "Kyou-san? Do you think I could stay here? Your family is so nice."
"We'll discuss it tomorrow. Now got to sleep, will ya?" Tohru smiled then fell soundly asleep. Kyou sat in the dark, watching Tohru's pale face. *So she's lonely too* he thought. Then he heard a noise from the door, and saw Hatori watching him with a small smile on his face. "W-what are you smiling about?"
"Nothing," he replied, and headed outside to smoke.
