Chapter 8
My Sweet Lily
Tohru reached the roof slightly breathless from the dash up there.
"Tohru-kun?" Yuki asked turning around.
"Gomen! Uo-chan and Hana-chan had to ask me something before I could leave."
Yuki frowned at her before smiling, "You're a horrible liar Tohru-kun."
Tohru blushed a bright red.
"Those fan club girls stopped you, didn't they?"
"Hai... But it's okay!"
He frowned once more, moving closer to her. "No, it's not okay for them to be picking on my girlfriend, ne?"
Tohru would have gone redder if she could, but instead turned away.
"You don't want to be my girlfriend, Tohru-kun?"
"No, no! That's not it Yuki-kun."
"I know, I was just teasing you. You look so cute when you're embarrassed," he said moving in for a short kiss.
"But you are okay, aren't you? Those girls didn't say anything mean to you, did they?"
Tohru nodded, "They did, but it's fine. Kyo saved me and scared them quite well."
Yuki grinned; maybe that cat wasn't as bad as he thought after all. "That's good. Remind me to thank him later."
Tohru froze in shock. Yuki, thank Kyo? Where those two really coming to understand each other? She sweat dropped when she realized he wanted to thank him for protecting her when he couldn't and nothing more.
"Now, my sweet Yuri," Tohru blushed remembering the flowers they had picked out together only days before. "I have a present for you."
"What? No, I couldn't—"
Yuki put a finger to her lips to quiet her. "But you must, because I bought it just for you."
The red that had started to fade from Tohru's face returned.
"Now, I got this for you so that you will always know how much I love you Tohru. I swear to you that I will not let Hatori take your memories of this family from you because I honestly think that you do care about this family. But—but," Yuki paused in pain, as though he wanted to cry.
"But if Akito refuses this, refuses us, I want you to leave before you're hurt and remember me like this, remember the happy times. And I always want you to remember how much I love you."
Yuki walked behind Tohru and placed a small locket around her neck. *
After he had shut the clasp he turned her around to face him. "I love you always Tohru, my sweet Yuri."
Tohru slightly blushed, but looked at the locket. On the outside was the symbol for 'Yuri,' and on the inside it said 'The Rat's Riceball.'
She almost sweat dropped but smiled instead. "Thank you Yuki. I love you and I never want to leave your side."
"Come on now, we should get back to class," Yuki said taking her hand.
"But what about..."
"The fan club girls? I'm sure they've figured it out now after what happened. Besides, they'll just have to get use to it," Yuki smiled. "I don't know if I can go through all of school without holding my sweet Yuri's hand, or kissing her sweet lips," he said kissing her again.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ After school Yuki and Tohru walked home together, holding hands. However after they had left the school the fan club girls started following them.
The couple ignored them for a few blocks, but finally it was becoming quite annoying to Yuki, and he was sure that Tohru was getting upset at it. "Hold on, Tohru," he said letting go of her hand and turning around.
The girls had gone into hiding, and this only annoyed Yuki even more. "Show your faces."
One by one the three girls peeked out from their hiding places. "Prince Yuki?"
"Why are you walking with that girl?"
"Yeah! We thought you didn't like trash."
"Shut up! Right now. I will not let you talk about my girlfriend in such a rude manner."
The girls screamed and broke into tears. Their sweet prince was dating this simple girl?
"What does she have that we don't?"
"What? A heart for one thing. Tohru cares about everyone, not just herself. But mostly she understands me."
"But—but your cousin! The red-haired one said that they were brother and sister."
"Hai, that is correct. We just found out that they were related."
"But that means you two are related also, doesn't it?"
Yuki grinned, they were grasping at straws. "Distantly, and besides that not something unusual for our family. Kyo is engaged on one of our other cousins."
He had to laugh to himself. To anyone outside of the family this must sound completely horrid, but they were barely even related in reality that no one cared.
"Now. If you would please, I ask that you kindly refrain from speaking to my girlfriend in such a rude manner and let myself and my princess be on our way."
Yuki turned around, took Tohru's hand again before they started for home once again.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ "Camping? In the woods? Why would we ever do such a thing?" Yuki asked at dinner on Saturday night. Shigure and Ayame had come up with the idea that they all should go camping since they were off of school for the next week.
"Well, it's not actually really camping. Ayame has a cabin that we will be staying in."
"He has a cabin?" Yuki asked slowly. "He couldn't have stayed there during the remodeling?"
"Oh, brother! It's nearly a two-hour drive to the cabin. It would be horrible for getting to work and coming to see you!"
Yuki only glared at them. Tohru blushed over her bowl of rice.
Kyo was the only one of the three that seemed completely for the idea. "What's wrong rat boy? Afraid of a few slugs?"
"How about I slug you a few times?"
As the two boys argued somemore Ayame and Shigure asked Tohru if she would like to go.
"Hai. It sounds beautiful."
"And it will give us all time to get closer to each other!" Ayame cried.
"But not too close mind you, Yuki-kun," Shigure laughed.
"What did you say?!?" Yuki shouted completely forgetting about Kyo and their fight.
The dog cowered backed and so went the rest of dinner.
After all the food had been eaten, and Kyo had been beaten to a pulp, everyone went to their rooms to pack up their things. Shigure wanted to leave first thing in the morning.
** Author's Note ** Yey camping! I enjoy camping, although I'm not sure if people in Japan go camping or not... Well, for the case of this story they do. Anyway, here's the new teaser for you all, because I know how much you enjoy it. *pets the plot bunny somemore* Should we tell them little one? *plot bunny blinks a couple times in her arms* I'll take that as a sort of. Something is going to happen to Tohru on the camping trip that will send everything for a loop. Now, remember that locket Yuki gave her? ( * I totally ripped the idea off of No Regrets [which if you haven't read yet, you are lacking in your furuba fanfic reading] by Chisan1) That will play a huge part in things to come, so keep your eye on it. ^_^ See you all soon!
