Chapter 6: Tohru's Admirer
"Eh? What's this?" Tohru exclaimed as she saw a suspicious-looking letter in her locker.
She opened it. Behind her was Yuki and Kyo and the three of them were staring at the letter with shock and amusement.
"Oh so you have a secret admirer, huh Tohru?" Kyo said.
"No, no I don't." Tohru replied worriedly. "I think this is a kind of a joke. It must be Hana...she likes teasing me."
"Did the writer add his name onto the letter?" Yuki asked.
Tohru shook her head in distress.
"It just said 'Look for me in the dining hall at lunch, Tohru Darling'" Kyo said mockingly.
Tohru blushed as she truned to Yuki.
"Well, I guess there's no harm meeting this person, so long as we go with you that is." Yuki comforted her.

The school bell rang and school has ended. The three of them were as usual, the slowest to finish packing their bags and leaving the classroom.
"Don't worry Tohru, we'll be there with you." Kyo said as he gave a slight pat on her head.
On their way towards the dining hall, Tohru felt her heart palpitating like the speed of lightning and felt that it was almost coming out of her mouth.
Finally, they arrived. No one was in the dining hall except for a tall male senior with a rose in his hand, folding his arms seeming to be awaiting someone's arrival.
"Ah, Tohru Darling. You are finally here." The senior said sheepishly as he held out Tohru's hand and placed the rose onto it.
Tohru blushed and tried not to look at the senior in his eyes.
"Did you know that you look so cute when you blush?" The senior said as he lifted Tohru's chin.
"Get your hands off her!" Kyo howled as he could no longer stand it.
"If you don't mind, Senior Atsumi, we have something on and have to leave now." Yuki said threateningly.
"Yes, you may leave. But Tohru Darling stays." Atsumi retorted.
"You're itching for a fight aren't you, Atsumi?" Kyo finally revealed the anger within him that he was trapping inside all along.
Kyo and Atsumi both held out their fists when Yuki stopped them by pushing them apart. Kyo then pulled Tohru gently by the hand and the three left the dining hall, leaving Atsumi feeling completely absurd.

"Good morning, my Tohru Darling." Atsumi said as he waited for Tohru at her locker.
Tohru turned around and tried to avoid him. However, he appeared in front of her immediately and blocked her path.
"Going somewhere?" Atsumi said with a smug on his face.
"Enough already!" Kyo's voice blasted from behind as he walked towards Atsumi, placing his hand hard on Atsumi's shoulder.
"You are a real pest aren't you, Kyo Sohma?" Atsumi said, feeling vexed at Kyo as he was always spoiling his plans. "Come on Tohru, let's go. Leave this pest here and go to somewhere where we can be alone. I know you like me don't you, Tohru Darling?"
"I'm sorry senior Atsumi...but I don't...I don't like you..." Tohru said and she took cover from Yuki as she saw him coming.
"You've got guts girl! No one ever dares reject me..." Atsumi said with disappointment.
"But at least you showed me that nothing is always so certain. I'm sorry for harassing you these days...I think I've to go now..." Atsumi continued after some thought.
"Poor fellow, isn't he?" Yuki said. "Fancy being rejected by a girl. Won't you look at that."
"Yeah! Serves him right." Kyo added on.
"I'm feeling kind of bad for doing this to him. He is after all quite a nice guy." Tohru said.
"If you're starting to regret you just dumped him, why not go chase him back?" Kyo said sarcastically.
"Eh? What's this?" Tohru exclaimed as she saw a suspicious-looking letter in her locker.
She opened it. Behind her was Yuki and Kyo and the three of them were staring at the letter with shock and amusement.
