Chapter Two: TarraSohma
Tohru Honda brushed her long brown hair away from her face as she hung the clothes up to dry. Her bright teal eyes shone as she smiled to different people passing by.
"Hey Tohru! You coming with us or what?"
Tohru turned around and spotted her two best friends Uo and Hana coming towards her.
"You know guys I haven't even asked my grandfather if I can go yet" she replied.
"Well go ask him" Uo said, "I'm sure he won't mind, I mean it's not like you have to do this, you're a noblewoman."
"I know" Tohru smiled, "But I like doing it."
"Well here's your chance to go ask him" Uo replied spotting him, "Hana and I will be in the meadow waiting."
"Okay" Tohru said waving goodbye.
She walked inside and saw her grandfather sitting down in his favorite chair.
"Hello grandfather" she smiled as she entered.
"Ah Tohru my little lamb" her grandfather replied smiling back, "Don't tell me you have been doing chores again because you know your aunt will flip."
"Grandfather" Tohru said, "I thought I was the one who could decided what I wanted to do while I was here."
"You're right, but she was told to keep an eye on you."
"I know" Tohru sighed, "But I am having the best time here, and so are Uo and Hana, I mean they haven't seen their families since the war began."
Tohru began to fold the laundry.
"I know Tohru" her grandfather sighed, "But a girl like you shouldn't be doing all this, we have a maid."
"But grandfather, I love doing it. I like for once that I am not the one being served."
"Tohru my pet soon you will have to go back. Five years was the limit and the time is almost up, besides it is dangerous for you over here in TarraSohma."
"As long as Kageru is here. I think I will be fine" she sighed, "Oh grandfather do you mind if I go to the meadow this afternoon?"
"You know how your Aunt feels about that."
"I'll be real careful, I promise."
"All right" he smiled, "It's okay with me."
She hugged him tight.
"But don't tell your Aunt."
"I won't " she grinned exiting the house.
****************
"Shigure how many more houses do we have to visit?" Yuki sighed.
They had been to twelve different houses that whole afternoon.
"We just have one more to visit" Shigure replied looking at the list, "Ah the Honda residence."
The carriage stopped for the thirteenth time and the three men climbed out.
"This had better be it" Yuki frowned.
Shigure smiled then knocked on the door.
"Can I help you?" Tohru's cousin replied.
"Yes, you can young man" Shigure said, "Presenting their royal highnesses Prince Yuki and Prince Momiji."
Momiji and Yuki entered the house.
"Hello" Momiji waved.
"Well this was quite unexpected, Tohru's Aunt bowed, "Where's Tohru?" she asked her son.
He shrugged.
"I believe daughter" her grandfather replied, "She is out at the moment."
"When the prince is visiting? Father you can't be serious?"
Meanwhile Momiji snuck out the back door to see the back of the house. Yuki was the only one who noticed that he had snuck off. Shigure was too busy trying to calm down Tohru's Aunt and grandfather.
"Momiji?" he whispered, "Momiji where did you go?"
****************
Tohru was having a wonderful time with her friends. They had had a picnic and were now laughing away as they told stories. Uo was the first to see that they had a visitor.
"Hey kid! You lost?"
"No" Momiji grinned when he saw Tohru, "I just saw you laughing up here and then I spotted the pretty lady here and just thought I come up and say hello."
Momiji took Tohru's hand and shook it. "Hi I am Momiji, Momiji Soh."
"Momiji" Yuki came up, "There you are? What's the idea of running off like that?"
"I was just saying hi to, what's your name?"
"Tohru, Tohru Honda."
"Tohru wow that's a pretty name."
"Thank you" she replied.
"As I was saying before I was interrupted, I'm Momiji Sohma and this is my cousin Yuki Sohma."
"Wait" Uo stopped him, "You guys are princes?"
"Yea."
Immediately Hana , Uo, and Tohru bowed.
"Oh gosh you don't have to be so formal with us" Momiji giggled, "Right Yuki?"
"Well actually" Yuki began.
"Yuki! Momiji!"
"Uh oh. It's Shigure" Momiji squealed.
"Go down and I'll be with you in a minute."
"Okay" Momiji shrugged. He waved once more at Tohru then left.
"I am so sorry. Please allow me to apologize for my cousin's behavior" Yuki replied, "He is so nosy."
"Oh it's no trouble" Tohru smiled, "Your majesty." She bowed her eyes and he bowed once more then left.
"Wow" Uo said, "So those are the Sohma princes we have heard so much about."
****************
"I can't believe, that out of all the lovely young ladies you saw today" Shigure began, "That you didn't find one suitable choice."
"Shigure just drop it!"
"All right, all right."
"But we did meet a very pretty girl" Momiji replied, "Her name was Tohru and she had the nicest personality."
"Really?" Shigure was now fully listening, "Did you meet her Yuki?"
"Briefly."
"And? Is she cute?"
"Shigure" Yuki looked at him agitated, "Anything in a dress and is feminine is cute to you."
"How true. But sadly no one wants me. No one except Aya."
"Oh please just stop that now" Yuki replied disgusted.
