Chapter 3:

"Yuki, I'm ready to go", Tohru screamed from the bathroom. It was finally time for the dorm party. For the past few hours, Tohru has been in the bathroom with Aki, who was helping her get ready. A few minutes later Tohru appeared in the doorway from the bathroom. Yuki shot upright and was astonished by what he saw. Tohru was always cute, but tonight she ws absolutely beautiful looking. Her long auburn hair was twisted elegantly on top of her head, and she was wearing adorable black dreesy-capris, and a tight black T-shirt, adorned with rhinestones.
"So, Yuki what do you think? Aki here has been telling me abut his two younger sisters, and helped me do my hair and choose my outfit. How do I look?" Tohru asked, turning a deep crimson.
"Ummm", Yuki said, losing his composure, "You look absolutely adorable". Together, with Aki trailing behind, Tohru and Yuki left the dorm, on their way to the party.
Tohru, Yuki, and Aki arrived at the designated place, where the party was going to be held, and was astounded by the amount of people showed up. Yuki was starting to have second thoughts about going inside the room. If he had knew it would have been this crowded, he would not of came, because it would be too easy to accidentally change in front of all of these people. Tohru who seemed to realize this cleared her Throat and was about to tell Yuki something, when Aki interrupted her train of thought.
"Guys, what are you waiting for", he asked," lets get ready to party", but before he could enter the room Tohru started to speak.
"Yuki, you know, I don't think this is such a good idea. It's really crowded, would you like to go back to your dorm instead?" Tohru asked quietly.
"You wouldn't mind" Yuki replied.
"Not at all, lets go", Tohru delicately took Yuki's hand and led him out of the room. Aki who was watching this decided to follow them, and quietly left without them knowing.
Out of the crowded room, Yuki and Tohru found a bench and sat down.
"Tohru, I'd like to apologize for not going to the party", Yuki started.
"It's okay", Tohru interrupted, "You wouldn't want anyone to know your secret, you know, with so many girls hanging all over the place". Aki, who was kneeling beside a tree thought to himself. So Yuki is afraid of girls, but why. He doesn't seem to mind Tohru who is sitting with him. I wonder what would happen if I gave him a slight shove towards her. Aki decided to act out his plan, and crept closer and closer to the bench where his two friends were sitting. He was about to puss Yuki when he got up and turned around.
Smiling sweetly Yuki asked Aki what he was doing, sneaking up behind them like that. Aki shrugged his shoulders, and sat down next to Yuki.
'So Yuki", Aki asked tauntingly, " Is Tohru your girlfriend"
"Yuki and Tohru both looked at each other and blushed ferociously. While the two of them where off guard, Aki leaned over and pushed Yuki into Tohru. He was about to come up with a remark about how cute they looked together, when he heard a loud POP. His sight was suddenly full of smoke, and when he looked again at the bench, he saw Tohru holding, Yuki's clothes, and a small gray rat.
Aki stared dumbfoundedly at the spot where Yuki sat only the moment before,." What the f." he started to say but was interrupted by Tohru.
"I have to go back to the dorm, Yuki will be waiting or me", Tohru said quickly. "He, ummm had to go to the bathroom and just left, meet you at the dorm" before Tohru could get up and run away Aki reached out and grabbed her arm.
"You are lying", he growled, " If he went to the bathroom, then why are you holding his clothes, and a small gray rat". Abruptly, Tohru got up and started to run in the direction of Yuki's dorm, while clutching Yuki, the rat, tightly in one fist, and his clothes in the other. Just when she thought that they were free of Aki he reached up and grabbed both of Tohru's hands. Tohru watched in vain as she dropped Yuki, and his clothes, knowing it was only a matter of time that he would transform back, and there was no place to go.
POP. Aki turned around at the sound of the pop, and suddenly that where the small rat was, Yuki now stood, only completely naked. Tohru bent down and threw him his clothes, and then turned around blushing ferociously. She saw a bit more than she intended. ^_^. Aki collapsed onto the bed, and stared at the now dressed Yuki, wondering if he was insane.
"There is something I didn't tell you", Yuki started to say, But then realized that Aki had fainted on the bed.
"So", Tohru began, " What are you going to tell him when he wakes up?"

End of Chapter 3.
