Kyou held open the door for her as they walked inside. "My beautiful flower has returned to me!" Shigure said happily.

A second later he was thrown out of the room and onto the porch. "My house." He whimpered. He looked up and saw Yuki walked up the path with a wrapped package in his arms.

"What did you say this time?" He asked.

"Is that Tohru's present?"

"Yes and stop avoiding the question."

"You should slip in quietly." Shigure warned. "She got off early."

Yuki nodded as he did so and carefully placed the present in his room hiding it securely in his closet.. He sighed as he laid back on his futon putting his arms behind his head. He was thinking about what would happen tomorrow. He knew Arisa and Saki wouldn't understand the portrait, but she would and that's all that mattered to him.

A soft knock at his door caused him to sit up. "Come in."

Tohru poked her small head in the doorway. "Sohma-kun…"

"Come in Honda-san." He said smiling as she did so and quietly closed the door behind her.

"I didn't disturb you did I?" She asked.

"No I was just thinking. Are you excited about tomorrow?"

"Yes, very much." Tohru said taking a seat next to him. "But I hope you didn't go through too much trouble."

"So I should cancel the circus…"

"What?!" Tohru's eyes widened.

Yuki chuckled softly. "I'm just kidding Honda-san. But tomorrow will be the best birthday ever. I promise you."

"I hope so." She said smiling.

A/N: Okay since I couldn't choose between Kyou and Yuki there's going to be an alternative ending to this story too. Both will be posted soon.
