Yuki thought for a long time. She had been living with them for a long time almost a year. He knew he liked her, he knew he needed her to be around, for many reasons he couldn't explain, for once he didn't know the answer to. This feeling in him was building over time, and now it was strong within him. He didn't know what to do, he was completely helpless and confused.
But every time he saw her smile he felt relived, every time he heard her laugh it felt like his very heart would burst, and his body quivered. She always took so much pride in the things she did, everything, from her cooking to cleaning, even making others happy, even if it inconvenienced herself. She would do things so perfectly, even if she DID have her ditzy moments and was silly sometimes over nothing.
Yuki sighed a long sigh. "Tohru, why, how do you do this to me?" Yuki whispered to himself. With that Yuki decided to water his newly planted strawberries. It was almost like Yuki himself was a plant, he was bold enough to go to a coed school, but something was missing, he really didn't have friends, although everyone claimed him the most popular guy in the school. But when Tohru came along she helped him, Tohru was his sun, helping him to grow, helping him to find what he didn't have.
Now he had friends who cared about him and stayed by his side no matter what. Yuki had all of the things that he didn't have before, except one thing, but he didn't know what it was. It was burning within him, and fluttering like a butterfly. But it always faded when Tohru wasn't their. He was in the dark without her, when she was gone the warm rays left and the night came.
It struck Yuki at that moment that he had to confess to Tohru as soon as possible. But he was afraid, what if Tohru rejected the thought? She wouldn't reject harshly, but it would still rip him apart if that happened. But some where deep within him he knew he had to tell her. Soon at least, or maybe in a month or so.
Yuki finished watering his plants and began to head back up the long trail to the house. He pushed all of his thoughts out of his head as he left his garden.
Shigure went to Tohru's room, she was unusually quiet and he didn't see her that much today because the boys and him were quarreling. 'That was fun!' Shigure thought to himself. He loved teasing the boys, especially Kyo.
As Shigure reached the top of the stairs something hit him. This, this was around the time Tohru, their sweet dear Tohru had came to them, to rescue them. Shigure's heart fluttered at this, Tohru looked so cute when he first met her and how sweet she was. She had always been so nice and when she left to go live with her grandfather, it showed them, all of them, how much they really needed her.
Shigure walked down the narrow hall, the sun was setting outside the window giving it a nice orange glow inside. Shigure slowly opened Tohru's door, only to find Tohru sleeping on her bed her head buried in her arms over her homework. 'Aww.' Shigure thought. 'She looks so cute and innocent.' But as Shigure neared her he noticed something else. He was the dog of the Chinese zodiac and this left him with a keen sense of smell, even in his human form.
The bright smile on Shigure's face faded. Tohru was crying earlier, what had happened. Was she sad, of course she was sad! Unless he was imagining the sent of salty tears in the air.
Shigure bent down to be at least eye level with Tohru. He knew she had been crying, but what had caused it. He gently nudged her arm to wake her.
"Mom. . .?" Tohru whispered in her sleep. So that is what was wrong. This was also the same time that Tohru's mom died and lost her home, and then lost it again when her grandfathers house needed renovations.
Shigures' gray eyes softened. "Tohru?" Shigure asked. "Is that you mom." Tohru whispered again.
"It's me Shigure." He said softly as he nudged her again. She slowly began to stir. She lifted her head a little to see him. His eyes were soft but full of concern for her, and yet sadness. A sadness of what she had felt.
"Are you okay Tohru?" Shigure asked. Concern was in his voice, strong and wavering. He had remembered when he had first met her, she told him her story, and he nearly cried. She had lost so much in her young life. It felt like he was going to burst out in tears.
"I'm fine Shigure." She lied as she sat up. Shigure noticed the cold wet tears made a dark pink mark on her bed. She had been crying. But of what. Shigure stood up, he was so much taller than her, he then bent down to look into her eyes.
He had the advantage. No one could lie to his cute puppy dog eyes. She stared back into his eyes. "Tohru I know some thing is wrong, would you please tell me?" Shigure asked gently.
She looked away from his gaze an said in a soft voice, almost impossible to hear tone. "yes." Shigure sat down beside her. "So," Shigure started. "Did Kyo and Yuki do anything to you, because I can avenge you, you know." Shigure said with a little happiness in his voice trying to lighten the mood.
"No! No! They didn't do anything, they were always nice to me! I promise! They didn't do anything wrong! I wouldn't want them in any trouble." Tohru said frantically, spouting.
"So whats wrong?" Shigure asked with deep concern. His puppy eyes increasing their innocence. Tohru seemed to look down to stare at her hands. And then she looked back up at Shigure with tears welling in her eyes.
This took Shigure completely off guard. She was about to cry, he hatted it when she cried, when she cried the whole world seemed to be sad. Oh no, she couldn't cry he hatted it.
Shigure didn't know what to do. "Shigure." Tohru said her voice breaking. "Mom, she, she was, she died around this time. And I just, I though I was alone, but she told me that I was wrong, she told me a little while ago, that I shouldn't be sad, that I shouldn't worry, she told me that I Did have a home and I Did have a family. And, and." Tohru spouted all at once unable to finish.
Shigure gently stroked her hair and scooted closer to her. "Tohru you mother was right. You do have a home, a home with us. And you do have a family, one with us, me,Yuki, and Kyo. Your mother is right telling you not to be sad. Do you know that this day, this very day, is the same day you came to us Tohru? The day you made another family?" Shigure asked.
"Yes Shigure I know, I'm so glad you guys care about me." Tohru sobbed. Her tears were wiped away bye Shigure's soft fingertips.
"Tohru you know we care about you, if I must admit it, you are like the little sister I've never had Tohru. And to all of us you are the guardian angel we never had. You mean a lot to all of us." Shigure said.
"Thank you so much Shigure!" Tohru sobbed. "I wish you weren't cursed, cause I want to hug you right now!" she laughed as tears of happiness ran down her face.
"That, is something I will willingly risk, for our dear sweet Tohru." Shigure said. Then he gave her a big bear hug, one that was reassuring and warm. Just before *Poof* he turned into a dog. But Tohru still hugged him around his big fluffy neck, burring her face in his fur.
Then she let him go and looked back at him. "So Shigure what did you come up here for any way?" Tohru asked.
"Oh." Shigure remembered suddenly. "I wanted to know what was for dinner." Shigure said happily. Tohru giggled, I think tonight we'll have my home maid stir fry with shrimp and some rice balls, and oolong tea." Tohru stated plainly.
*Poof* "Ahhh!" Tohru yelled as she covered her eyes and spun around. Shigure quickly put on his cloths and told Tohru it was all right to turn around.
Tohru then smiled and walked down stairs with him to make dinner. 'Oh mom, thank you! Thank you so much, for making me realize how much they care for me, thank you for helping me open my eyes to see my family. Even if they are cursed, I couldn't feel happier around all of them!' Tohru thought to herself.
Kyo finally drug himself out of his thoughts as the sun was barely shining over the horizon, it was just about to be drowned out by the night.
He decided to go check up on Tohru. He felt bad about what happened still, but he had to see her. He jumped off the roof and almost ran into Yuki as he touched the ground.
"Watch were your going you stupid cat!" Yuki scolded.
"Shut up you damn rat, I don't need your lecture!" Kyo yelled back in response.
"Oh, what am I thinking, you don't need a lecture," Yuki said sarcastically. "You need a beating. You need to be taught a lesson, I can't stand it when you act like that. I hate it! You should just go back to where you came from!" Yuki said coldly. Reminding Kyo of how much Yuki reminded him of ice and himself of fire.
Kyo just glared at Yuki with the hint of death and hatred in his eyes about what Yuki just said. But what about Tohru, he couldn't leave. Suddenly just thinking about her his anger subsided.
"I dunno Yuki, maybe you're the one who needs the lecture." Kyo said. Yuki infuriated at his words, kicked at Kyo. Kyo barely ducked as the foot grazed his hair.
'Wow!' Kyo thought. ' I just easily dodged his kick and I didn't even know it was coming.' Kyo thought with pride growing within him. Maybe he could beat Yuki. Yes he could! He could beat Yuki!
He guessed Tohru's constant enthusiasm and methods of always looking on the positive side of things rubbed off on him.
Tohru went to go get the boys from out side to see them fighting. "NO!" she yelled worried. Kyo turned his head to see Tohru, letting down his guard. Yuki kicked him in the stomach sending the air out of him. Yuki didn't notice Tohru when she yelled, until after he kicked Kyo.
"Kyo you should of kept your guard up." Yuki whispered to Kyo as he looked at Kyo on the ground in disgust. "Shut up!" Kyo yelled back as he got up quickly.
"Oh my god are you two okay? I saw you fighting and I just wanted to tell you that I was starting dinner and it would be ready soon." Tohru said spazzing out.
"Its okay Tohru, Kyo and I were just practicing, I'm pretty sure he isn't that hurt and if he is I can assure you it isn't a physical pain." Yuki said softly.
Kyo dusted off his pants and nodded to Yuki's explanation. It was true that this was practice for him, practice until the day that HE would kick Yuki's dumb ass. Kyo smiled at his thought. And then turned toward Tohru. "So Tohru what's for dinner?" Kyo asked with a little smile.
"Oh, Shrimp stir fry, home made!" Tohru said happily. She loved it when Kyo smiled, it made him look, she didn't know, it made him look, look so nice, and cute in a way of innocence.
Tohru then started walking into the house to start dinner, with Yuki and Kyo trailing behind her. Shigure was in his study thinking over what he cold do for their sweet dear Tohru, their little rice ball.
Of all of the recent events he wanted to throw a party for her, this was the very day that she did come into their lives and tomorrow was the reunion of when she found about their curse, accepted it and began to live with them.
Shigure nodded in self determination. They would have to something for her. Yes they had to, she had been a godsend. She brought the light back into their lives and helped them, not only the three of them but all of the zodiac animals in a way. Shigures mind worked. Thinking of all of the things that he should do for their little guardian angel.
