Hi there. I did this as quickly as I can. If there are errors, I'm really sorry. I'll try to repost this again in case there are really many errors.

Thank you for reading and… well, I'm not a hentai person (at least I didn't make this fic hentai… oh yeah, I was planning to ^_^).

"Hello there, Tohru-san." Meiko smiled mysteriously.

"Thank you for saving me." Tohru bowed low and thankfully replied.

"But… I didn't save you enough. " he pointed at the bruise on her left arm. She stared at it for a while.

"It's not bleeding. I'm fine." She smiled at him sweetly, not knowing his true intention.

"But I insist, Tohru-san. It will only take a while." He assured her calmly. Sooner or later, she nodded and went with him.

For almost an hour, Yuki and Uo sat outside of the inn, waiting for the cloaked men to set them free. And at last, one of them approached Yuki and bowed.

"Thank you for your patience, young master."

"Where is she now?" Yuki asked sternly.

The subordinate shook his head. "We don't know the plans Master Akito has prepared, and I cannot assure you on what it is, but I can say that he can help the Sohmas to be a better clan---"

"Yeah, shut up." Uo snarled. "I don't want to hear this senseless talk again. If this happens again in front of my inn, you won't have a happy life after that."

"Please, it won't happen again. Again, thank you for your time and patience." He bowed low. "Good day." And the cloaked men left them.

"Should we call somebody?" Uo asked.

"No, I guess we have to stay put for now." Yuki replied. "I'm really sorry about this"

"Don't be. I'm sure Tohru will be ok."

After he heard her name, he quickly said, "I have to go." Then Yuki ran off.

"Tohru's missing?" Shigure repeated.

"Yeah, but it's only a presumption. Hatori told me that. Now get out of my house!" Momiji ordered. He tried to shove them away but, of course, the two Sohmas are much bigger than him.

"So that's why my dear brother left to find her!" Ayame wondered.

"Yes, at least he's very useful and helpful at the same time, like you two."

"Hey, what's the rush?" Gure kneeled in front of the younger Sohma. "We're just chillin' out, you know."

"I think you're chillin' at the wrong house." Momiji yelled. "You're ruin my reputation! What if the people finds out that I'm hangin' out with people like you?!"

"Hey, that's only a presumption, right?" Ayame winked.

"GRR!!! GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!"

Yuki kept on running until a carriage pulled over right beside him. Kisa's head then poked outside of the window. "Yuki-kun, come in."

Yuki quickly went inside, and found Hatori sitting beside Kisa. The vehicle started running and at the same time, the sky became dark.

"I'm always on the right timing." Hatori grinned at himself.

"Have you found her?" Yuki asked.

"No, I ordered some people to find her, and I'm also as worried as you are."

"Yuki-kun, is it true that Akito-san is… back here?" Kisa asked.

The nezumi sighed. "Yes, I already met his people."

Kisa held Hatori's hand tightly as the conversation went on. "What did they say?"

"Akito's planning something. He also wanted to talk Tohru personally." Yuki explained. "I don't get it. What does he want from her?"

"Nothing." The doctor answered flatly. "Yuki, this happened years ago to Kana, and she said nothing about their conversation."

"So they talked?"

"Yes, they did, but she never mentioned it in detail." Hatori recalled. "She even described Akito as a nice person."

"If he WAS a nice person, they why did he kill her?" Kisa asked.

Yuki felt the sudden shivers. Kana was killed by Akito, but instead of revealing that to the public as his fault, he used Hatori's name. What if… this happens to—

"Yuki." Hatori quickly caught his attention. "I know what you're thinking. Do not assume that this will happen to Tohru. Everyone is supporting you and Tohru right now. Don't think like that."

"Of course." Yuki replied.

"And besides, I would never want the next mayor be like that." He grinned.

The carriage reached the mansion and Yuki got inside feeling unsuccessful as he felt his small gift for Tohru inside his pocket.

"Yuki-kun!" a voice rang in head… or across the room.

He looked up and a cheerful smiled awaited him. "Yuki-kun, I've been waiting." To his surprise, Tohru was there at the main lobby, calling his name!

Before he could say anything, his body began to move towards her in great speed and before he could hug her, her hands quickly held him back.

"Yuki, the curse!" she reminded him.

He didn't listen to her for a while. His body began to feel lifeless against her.

POOF!

The next thing he knew he was on her hand and her eyes were staring at her. She giggled lightly. "Yuki, we've just been separate for a few days and… you just forgot that you have a curse!"

Yeah, he smiled, but that was the best half second in my entire life.

"Hello there, Tohru-san." Hatori greeted her as he got in. Kisa was right behind him.

"Ne-chan!" she cheered.

"So, something happened here a few seconds earlier, right?" Hatori eyed on Yuki, who was right at his foot. Yuki eyed him back, which made him laugh. "Why don't you help him up to his room, Tohru, and I'll be waiting for both of you at the dining area."

"Sure." Tohru held Yuki on one hand and gathered his clothes with the other. Kisa then followed Hatori to his office.

"Hatori-san, do you think it is really necessary," she whispered as she closed the door behind her, "that we could leave them alone?"

"Kisa, I was left alone for me to talk to Kana. Now, I just did my part in his life." He lit a cigarette. "It's up to him to hear her out."

"No, I mean." Kisa sighed. "Do you think it's necessary to leave them alone IN HIS ROOM, at a time when Yuki-kun could, at any minute now, CHANGE BACK TO HIS ORIGINAL FORM, with TOHRU with him?"

Hatori thought for a moment, and eyed Kisa. "I think that you've been staying at Ayame's house for too long, don't you think so?"

"Hatori-san…"

"No, I mean it. I think that you should stay here in this mansion before you get that perverted disease---"

"HATORI-SAN!!!"

"I'm really sorry, Tohru-san…" Yuki whispered as he comfortable sat at her lap.

"It wasn't really a problem, Yuki-kun." She said happily as she sat at the bedside. "I just carried you and your clothes to your room, that's all."

"No… it's….nothing." he said.

"It has been months since I saw you in this form…" she giggled. "And I even remembered when you transformed back---"

At the next second, a puff of cloud came and Yuki transformed back. Tohru moved back, but she was trapped, lying at his bed, while Yuki was on top of her, naked of course. Both of them stared at each other for quite a while, and Tohru's cheeks began to burn up.

Yuki felt that this moment was destiny and he shouldn't waste it. He began to move closer to her, their noses touched, and their heartbeats quickened.

He's going to do it! Tohru panicked at her current position. She didn't move an inch, but she quickly closed her eyes before anything happens.

Yuki stared at her before he even tried to do anything. Realizing that she's not ready for this, he just kissed her on her cheek and smiled. "Don't look down, ok?"

She nodded politely, keeping her eyes closed. He stared at her for a while, then he stood up and started to dress up.

Tohru slowly opened her eyes and saw Yuki half naked before her, and as he slowly grabbed his shirt on the floor, she examined his back for a while. Tohru, keep your eyes closed please! Stop staring at him!

After he dressed up, she sat up, still blushing. Yuki noticed it and knelt in front of her. "Are you ok?"

"H-Hai." She was stuttering, and Yuki laughed inside.

"Le't go downstairs, ne?" he smiled and held her hand.

As they walked down the stairs, hand in hand, she felt the craziest feeling, after what happened to them upstairs. Okaa-san, this feeling… have you felt this when you met papa? It's so weird. I feel so flushed all over. And his hand holding mine… it feels so different. Was he trying to say that we're more that friends already?

"Yuki-kun." Kisa called. "Hatori just got a phone call and left. He'll be back by morning."

"Then we'll eat without him."

"Um… I need to go back to Momiji's house." Tohru suddenly said. Really, I want to go back. I just want to sleep at MY bed. Everything just happened so fast and… I think I couldn't bear to sit with Yuki while eating. My stomach might stop digesting because of him.

Yuki looked at her. "Are you sure?" Tohru nodded at him. "Ok…" he said. "Then I'll accompany you to Momiji's house."

It was a long quiet ride. Tohru sat back with Yuki in front of him. They just stared at different windows, not talking to each other, and not even a glance was made. She clasped her hands together and rested it on her lap, while Yuki had each of his hands resting on his knees.

Cmon, Yuki, start the conversation. Yuki urged himself to talk. He tried to look at her, but she avoided looking at him. Is she mad at me? Maybe, but am I rushing things too much?

The carriage then stopped and Yuki saw Momiji's house outside the window. He quickly opened the door and got out. He helped Tohru out and tried to look at her.

At last, she looked at him.

"Tohru… I…" he started.

"Yuki… I'm sorry." She began. "Things didn't work out like the way you expected it to be."

Yuki smiled and shook his head. "No, I was wrong. I should rush you… maybe, it would really take time… for me to…"

"Goodnight, Yuki-kun." She bowed and turned towards the door.

"Tohru, wait!" he rushed towards her. She turned to look at him.

He took a deep breath, gathered all dignity in him and carried it on his back. "Can we try it once more?" he whispered while gazing at her.

Without waiting for her reply, he went closer and again, Tohru was trapped with the door behind her. This time, she didn't have any doubts on her mind. Okaa-san, guide me.

And their lips met. He moved closer towards her and she melted against him. He then he pulled back. She blushed a little and he stopped for a moment. I… just did it.

"Goodnight, Tohru." He whispered and ran back towards the carriage. He quickly went inside and it started to move on its way.

Yuki sat back at his seat, amazed and surprised at what he did. He chuckled and wondered, That was, by far, my best achievement in my entire life.

Tohru closed the door behind her, still amazed and surprised after all that had happened. She gently touched her lips and wondered, Okaa-san… that was, by far, the most romantic thing that has happened to me in my entire life.



Is it good? I hope it was. I had fun writing it.  Please review!

Oh yes, I might postpone the "need advice" fic for a while. I need to finish this one. Again, thanks for reading!
