Chapter 4: Thankful for life

On the way back to the house after groceries, the three walked, grocery in each of their hand.

" Umm..I'm just wondering.." Tohru started getting Yuki and Kyo's attention.

" Huh?" Kyo said.

" What did Hana-chan say to you?" Tohru asked.

" She was sayi--" Kyo was about to say.

" She was saying that we should look over you." Yuki said cutting of the cat.

" She--!...Oh." Kyo said and was about to start a fight but unbelievably stopped. Yuki guessed he got the point that it was only meant for their ears only, not Tohru's.

" Huh? Wha--?" Tohru started, " Why aren't you--??" Tohru grew suspicious, and Kyo had to act fast.

" And don't interrupt me when I'm speaking you damn rat!" Kyo shouted, hoping that Torhu would buy his act.

" Atleast I know my que, moron." Yuki retorted cooly.

" Shut up you girly boy!"

' This was much better, I thought I just heard Kyo-kun agree with Yuki-kun there..' Tohru thought with a relief.

--*--

" Yet another extra ordinary dinner, Tohru-kun!" Shigure praised.

" Wow thank you! Arigato Shigure-san!!" Tohru said.

After dinner, Tohru washed the dishes and cleaned the table. ' It's been such a strange day...' Tohru thought, '..but..it was great having to spend them with Kyo-kun and Yuki-kun.' Tohru sighed she was so fortunate, she's been with the Sohmas for about 2 years or so, she know's she'll have to leave sooner or later and she couldn't bare thouse thoughts without tears springing forth from her eyes.

Yuki, Kyo, and Shigure had accepted her into the family even when they went against strict rules to keep her in the house and for her memories not be erased. She also accepted the all the Sohmas with all her heart and wanted to understand more about their Jyuunishi secret even if takes years to do so. Tohru always kept up a positive attitude whenever life and the world itself turned against her. She's always showing compassion, mercy, a hand, understanding, and love no matter who the person is and what they did to her.

--*--

That night Tohru opened the door and looked up onto the sky filled stars. She was a star gazer who would be lost with thought upon the future. She leaned on the door, feeling so much that she's about to burst. " I'm lucky Mom...I have everything and I couldn't ask for more..." She whispered.

--*--

Up on the roof, Kyo heard a faint whisper from below. He looked down seeing a full emotional Torhu, leaning against the door. With the moonlight shining over her, she looked radiant. Her lively blue-green eyes looked full love, love that she is willing to give and expecting nothing back in return. Tohru looked beautiful..

Kyo shook his head, ' What am I thinking?! This is Tohru. She's my....' Kyo thought. What is she to him any way? It's been years..yet he never realized or thought about this..Yeah, he cared for Tohru, but is she just a friend or..maybe something else..?

--*--

Yuki saw Tohru by the door. Even if she wasn't facing him, he could tell she was deep in thought. It looked like she was absorbing everything tonight..

Tohru was always the light of everything in the house and he had to admit his life. There has never been a day that Tohru ever noticed that Yuki had a problem. Wether it was about school, his family, his idiotic brother, or about his deeper self, Tohru Honda had always had the time to listen and give him words that can just blow all his problems away...it doesn't have to be words either..it can just be her smile alone that can make everything go away...

She is something. She is really someone who you can love and never let go, because she gives so much...

...She's something to him...

--*--

' I have so much I'm thankful for, Mom.' Tohru thought, ' I have Shigure-san who gave me a roof over my head, and guidance when I needed it--and laughter when I needed to smile...Momiji-kun, Kagura-kun, Haru-kun, Hatori-san, and all the Sohmas including Akito-san..they taught me so much about myself and give me strength I never knew I had..' (A/N: This part is not from my original because the original takes WAAY long to type! So I decided to cut it in short heh..yeah I'm a lazy bum and I'm proud of it!)

' Yet..Mom...the ones who helped me the most...are Yuki-kun and Kyo-kun..' Tohru softly thought. 'Kyo-kun may seem very rude, direct, and vulgar, but Mom, Kyo-kun really is a very nice person. And he always tells me to complain a little and to look over myself not over others..And Mom..there's Yuki-kun. Who took me in when I was in the verge of giving it all up. He always helps me in school work or any other. Both of them look over me..like Hana-chan and Uo-chan!' Tohru thought happily, ' And for that I'm willing to help them as they are to help me...because what they're doing is more than enough..'

Tohru looked up to the star filled sky, " Even if, when at times the world turns it's back against me and ever time I breathe and everytime my heart beats, it hurts...their always there for me. A ready hand to hold on. A ready smile to give. And...a ready heart that's there..for me to mend with..to meand my heart..Mom.." Tohru saud out loud with a sigh.

--*--

Kyo who had been listening was shocked yet so--so as if something melted in him. That hearing what Tohru had to say made him feel better, that something has been lifted from his heart..although the thought was sappy, it was true.

Yuki heard every word Tohru spoke, had spoken from the heart as always but..this more heartfelt. And this made him happy and relieved to know that they were helping her.

Yuki went up and didn't want to disturn Tohru. Kyo went down quietly from the roof and headed to his bedroom to sleep.

--*--

" Mom, I wish nothing to change...ever.." Tohru whispered.
