Chapter 10: A Sleepover at Hana's
"Tohru! Are you free this Saturday and Sunday? Would you like to come over to my house for a sleepover? Uo has agreed to come." Hana said as her eyes dilated with excitement.
"I would love to. But first I need to..."
"You need to?" Uo repeated.
"Oh, it's nothing, but I would be able to stay over at your house for a night."
Tohru dared not tell even her closest friends, Hana and Uo, that she was staying with the Sohmas for fear that rumors would spread and trouble would brew.
************************************************************************
"Sohma-san, I won't be at home for tomorrow and Sunday as I would be going to Hana's for a sleepover. Uo will be going as well." Tohru said.
Yuki nodded, as he was deeply engrossed in his report. Tohru left his room and met Kyo in the hallway.
"Kyo, I will be away tomorrow as well as Sunday. Could you cook for Mr. Shigure and Sohma-san when I'm away?"
"Sure Tohru. Enjoy yourself." Kyo said, giving Tohru a smile as he wanted Tohru to enjoy herself, rather than continuously worrying about them.
************************************************************************
"Hello Hana!" Uo and Tohru exclaimed as Hana opened the door.
"Welcome! I'm glad you both could make it in time. Oh and this is my brother, Megumi," Hana said as she pointed to a short figure beside her.
"Ooh Megumi!" Uo ruffled his hair. "You sure look like a big eater. Want to compete and see who can eat the most?"
"Okay!"
So Uo and Megumi entered the dining room while waiting for Hana and Tohru to serve out the dishes. They both sat aside as they watched Uo and Megumi with amusement. After two hours, the two big eaters were stuffed until they could no longer eat another bite.
"That was a good fight, squirt." Uo panted.
Megumi nodded as they all went into Hana's room in the second level.
"Anyone in a game of Millionaire?" Tohru pulled out a pack of cards from her backpack.
All three of them agreed. Three hours passed very quickly and it was getting close to dinnertime.
"Mum, could you inform us when dinner's ready? We're in the midst of a game." Hana said as she screamed through a gap of the door.
"Sure honey."
************************************************************************
After countless games, the four of them went down for dinner.
"Thank you so much for your great hospitality, Mr. And Mrs Hanajima." Tohru politely said as they settled down at the dinner table.
"Don't mention it dearest. You two are good friends of Saki and that is all that matters."
Tohru and Hana nibbled their food slowly while Uo and Megumi were gobbling and munching away.
"Slow down, you two. Don't choke on the food." Mr. Hanajima said.
************************************************************************
"Aww...How I miss our dear Tohru..." Shigure paused as he saw the displeasure on Yuki's and Kyo's face. "Don't look at me like that! I haven't completed my sentence. I just wanted to say I missed Tohru's cooking...that's all."
"You better stop spouting nonsense you stupid dog!"
"Kyo's right Shigure. Your words are just nonsensical."
************************************************************************
When Tohru came out from her sleeping bag, it was already nine in the morning.
"Three more hours before I go home...I wonder how the Mr. Shigure and the boys are coping." Tohru thought to herself.
"Bye Hana, bye Megumi. Thank you so much for inviting us to your house. I had a great time." Tohru waved as she left with Uo.
"Hey Tohru, which route will you be taking? I'll be going west."
"I'll be going north. I guess we will have to part here. I'll call you when I'm home okay Uo?" Tohru smiled.
"Tohru! Are you free this Saturday and Sunday? Would you like to come over to my house for a sleepover? Uo has agreed to come." Hana said as her eyes dilated with excitement.
