Zarishu entered the house, it was different from what she expected, for two
guys to live together you'd expect the place to be something resembling a
demolition site but it was clean and gentle with newly picked flowers and a
fresh aura. She smiled happy that Shigure was actually living somewhere
decent, she looked up to see the face of a young woman brown hair flowed
down and she smiled. She was the young woman who was with them. "Hello,"
she spoke and Shigure who had gone in front of her turned back.
Tohru gave a small polite bow to Zarishu, "Hello, I'm Tohru," she introduced herself, "Honda," she spoke raising her head, "It's nice to meet you"
"Well I've seen our lovely housekeeper has introduced herself so politely to you but then Tohru is so much more than a housekeeper, she's the best thing that has happened to this place," Shigure teased leaving Tohru red, she turned her head down.
"I'm not really all that," Tohru spoke, "Would you like some coffee?"
"Coffee would be lovely," Zarishu replied as Tohru set to work, "So is she enthusiastic or what?" she joked trying to get closer to Shigure,
"Tohru's lovely Zarishu, we really appreciate all the help she's put in to making this house a home," he sighed and paused leading Zarishu into the dining room. 'And I for one thought we were going to lose her after that incident with Kyo,' he thought to himself
"Well that's what I'm saying she seems nice," she looked at Shigure and laughed sitting down, "God I'm just kidding you alright," she smiled, "In fact she really does seem to be one of the nicest women I've ever had the pleasure to meet."
Shigure looked at Zarishu and decided to move on from the subject of Tohru it was certainly not worth having an argument with a woman he'd just got reacquainted with and especially since she was on his side too. "So would you explain to me how ever so delightfully you're back with us again?" he paused, "I mean how you're not dead"
Zarishu laughed, "Well Shigure I really don't know how I'm here again, if you get what I mean I woke up one morning and I was back." She paused and Tohru placed the coffee in front of her and left leaving her and Shigure to catch up.
"Ah memories," Shigure sighed, "Wondrous things aren't they, I don't believe that we could have more beautiful things than some of our memories"
"Yeah," Zarishu nodded smiling, "That's what I've come to believe, see Shigure when I first came back I met this guy." She curled her black hair around her finger whilst thinking,
"A guy?" Shigure rose his eyebrows and sighed, "As in the type of guy that you're considering wondrous love with?" he teased her but inside he was actually hoping that it was not this type of a guy. He thought to himself, why was he hoping this, it wasn't as if he actually knew Zarishu enough to love her, especially in these later years, but something about her made it so that he would hate for her to feel that way about anyone else.
"No" Zarishu shook her head "A friend, he helped me get back on my feet again but I don't know anything about him, well I know basically nothing. Still the guy I met isn't the type people know things about"
"Really how's that?" Shigure asked, "Is he uncomfortable about something?"
"Well I think he's uncomfortable about his life Shigure" she looked away, "But he still helped me"
"Then he's a good person," Shigure replied wanting to be comfortable around her, "Did you change when you were around him?"
"Once," Zarishu admitted "That's how I found out"
"And how did he feel, must have been pretty freaked out a girl turning into a dog" Shigure sighed sipping his own coffee
"He seemed comfortable about it," Zarishu spoke
"What did he say?" Shigure asked trying to get more information about the situation,
"Well he didn't actually say anything," Zarishu continued, "You see he only spoke about three times when I was with him"
"And how long were you with him?" Shigure asked, "One day? A couple of hours?"
"Well, one week" Zarishu said concentrating, "It sounds insane doesn't it, staying with a guy for a week and he only says three sentences"
"Hmm, weird" Shigure looked at her and smiled a little seeing her pleasure as she drank the coffee, 'what should I say to her.' Shigure said hoping to impress her and perhaps even allow her to like him, afterall they were both dogs. The doorbell rang saving them and Shigure rose and in a hyper style voice called to Tohru, "I'll get it!" he said and made his way over to the door.
He opened it and saw a man, he seemed to be about fourteen years old, he was a sickly pale even more than Yuki and had a thin face. Small squared glasses covered his eyes and he had soft brown curly hair. He wore a white scarf, that he had kept cleaner than himself, a silver necklace with a blue gem dangled from his neck and his tee shirt was muddy. He had a black pair of clothes and battered jeans, it was as if he'd just battled someone and lost. "Hello," Shigure spoke, "How can I help you?" The man looked away and looked at the floor holding a bag firmly with his glove covered hand, Shigure looked at him, "Should I give you a minute or two to decide?" he asked resting on the door frame.
"Who is it?" Zarishu asked walking towards Shigure she looked into the boys face and smiled, he did but much weaker, "Hey," she said gently, "Did I leave that behind?" she asked gesturing to the bag, the boy nodded again. Zarishu laughed and walked forward, "I'm sorry," she said staring into the boy's face, not really knowing what she was doing. She put her foot forward and tripped forward, but before she fell too far forward the boy had rushed forward and caught her in his arms causing her to transform.
Tohru gave a small polite bow to Zarishu, "Hello, I'm Tohru," she introduced herself, "Honda," she spoke raising her head, "It's nice to meet you"
"Well I've seen our lovely housekeeper has introduced herself so politely to you but then Tohru is so much more than a housekeeper, she's the best thing that has happened to this place," Shigure teased leaving Tohru red, she turned her head down.
