A/N: Thank you all for reading this I'm very pleased at the reviewer turnout for this fan fiction I don't have to prod as much to get them. Everyone reading this now rocks wohoo! This is a pretty good chapter if I do say so myself I'm pretty happy with how it turned out cause the rough copy sucked I wanted to flame myself when I read it. On a side note I would like to mention a good point brought up by a reviewer, I spelled Tohru, Toru, but I've grown out of that, and have begun changing it to the correct spelling. updated 6/24/05


She started to prepare dinner, but a knock at the door interrupted her. She went to open it but then rebreed her promise to Uo "Don't open the door for anyone you don't know." "Um... Who is it?" She called.

"Delivery for Miss Tohru Honda." A man's voice called back.

A delivery for me? "I can't open the door, can you just leave it on the porch"

"I need a signature ma'am"

I can't open the door to sign. "Can't you sign it with my name, I'm really not supposed to open the door"

"I guess so lady. It's your package, I'll leave it right here next to the door for ya." /Gees, what a loon/ He signed the paper and left the package on the porch. Tohru waited till she was sure he was gone, and opened the door, to the right was a long box, she pulled it inside and locked the door again. It was dark so she turned on the light.

"Who would send me a package?" she wondered out loud as she pulled the lid off. Two dozen long stemmed roses lay inside and a small note.

"Not a single one more lovely than you"

Whomever was sending them sure got straight to the point, and didn't want her to know who he was. Tohru put the roses in a new vase on the table, and brought the other one upstairs to her room. "This will look lovely on my night-stand"

Shigure and Yuki came home together and, questioned Tohru about the door. She explained it away as best she could without lying, but not exactly telling the truth. The three began eating the slightly overcooked meal. Overcooked because Toru had left it on while tending to her package. Kyou came home half-way through the meal. "Oh, hi Kyou welcome home." Tohru greeted him.

"Hi." He mumbled staring at his feet.

"Where did you go today"

"None of your damn business"

"Kyou, be nice, Miss Honda was only asking to be polite, it's not like she really gives a damn about you." Yuki scolded.

"You wanna go rat-boy?" Kyou screamed lunging at Yuki, they hadn't had a fight in two days.

"Maybe I do but are you sure you're not tired from -" Kyou's hand shot over Yuki's mouth, muffling his words.

"Shut up!" Kyou pushed away from Yuki, and went up to his rooftop. Yuki looked at Tohru apologetically and went to his room.

Tohru picked at her food she wasn't feeling hungry, she was feeling confused, how could someone she didn't know like her so much.

Shigure sensed something was wrong with Tohru, he tried to spark a conversation. "These roses are just lovely, Tohru. You must have spent all day picking them"

"Oh I didn't pick them..." Tohru stopped. /I can't burden him with my problems, I've already worried Uo and Hana./ "They were on sale, so I thought, they would be a lovely centerpiece." I hate lying to him but until I know for sure I don't want to involve the boys. "If you'll excuse me, I'm feeling tired, I'd like to go to bed early tonight. Just leave the dishes in the sink I'll do them in the morning.

That night she slept fitfully, occasionally waking up feeling eyes on her, but seeing no one there.


A/N: It's me again please review and tell me if it was good or funny or sexy (Please note sexy is my word for excellent, due to the fact that others use the word "moist" and I hate that word.) Please remember if you haven't anything nice to say don't say it at all, unless it is viewed as constructive by at least three other people.
