Chapter 2: Who are you?

Disclaimer: I don't own Furuba. Blah blah.

A/N: Okay, I messed up! It's supposed to be OnigiriGirl and Kyo calls her Tohru, not Honda-san. Now on with the show!

It was Saturday, and Tohru, Hana, and Uo were in town looking for outfits to wear to the dance. Right now, they were at the Oi One building, (a Japanese version of Hot Topic) looking for Hana's dress.

"What about this one?" Hana said, holding up what looked like a raggedy, black velvet tablecloth.

Uo cocked her head with an uncertain look in her eyes.

"I don't know Hana-san, it looks a bit, I dunno, trashy."

Hana looked at the dress and put it down.

"How about this one?" asked Tohru, holding up a dress that looked Morticia Addams (The Addams Family) style. It was long with a pattern that looked like a spider web on it. It had long sleeves that flared out at the end and had black satin ribbons on the wrists and collar.

"I think I'll try that one on." said Hana.

"You'll look like Spider-Queen, if you ask me." Uo replied with a smirk.

Despite Uo's comment, Hana still bought the dress

Tohru stopped in front of a store window, some two blocks away and looked at a platinum skirt, with a grey and purple top.

"Wow, look at that outfit." she said.

"Hey Tohru, that'd look great on you." said Hana.

"Yeah, you should go try it on," said Uo, looking distractedly at another outfit in the window, "and I think I'll try that one on."

Tohru bought the outfit, and Uo got a dress that was navy blue with silver stitching.

"Now what?" asked Hana, as they left the shop.

"How about lunch?!" suggested Tohru.

"I could go for some lunch, but where?"

"How about there?" said Uo, pointing at a sidewalk café across the street.

They crossed the street with great difficulty, finally managing to get to the café.

When they had finished eating, they left the café. They walked, just looking at boutique windows until,

"Hey guys! Look who it is!"

Kyo, Shigure, Yuki, and Haru were walking out of a men's boutique (clothing ) on the opposite side of the street.

"Hey! Yuki! Kyo! Shigure!" Tohru shouted, jumping up and down while waving her hands in the air.

Yuki pointed across the street and waved, smiling.

"C'mon guys! " Tohru said, grabbing Hana and Uo's wrists and pulling them to the crosswalk.

"Hi Tohru" Yuki said, hugging her, and planting a kiss on her forehead.

"High school girls, high school girls." was all that Shigure managed to say, before Kyo hit him on the forehead.

"Uotani-san," Kyo said, bowing," This is Hanajima-san's date for the dance."

"Hello," said Haru, holding out his hand, which Hana shook," I'm Hatsuharu Sohma."

"I'm Saki Hanajima, pleased to meet you."

It was Sunday. Tohru was up, as usual, preparing breakfast for the household.

"Today is Sunday," she muttered to herself, "which means that it's PANCAKE DAY!"

Tohru got out all her pancake supplies and had begun whisking the batter when Yuki walked into the kitchen, hair tousled and rubbing his eyes.

"Morning sleepyhead!" said Tohru, cheerfully. She knew that never failed to get Yuki up.

"Good morning, Tohru," he said groggily," How did you sleep"

"Very well, and you?"

"I slept alright." Tohru had gone back to making pancakes by now, so Yuki sat down at the kitchen table and poured himself a glass of orange juice.

It was quiet for a few minutes, then: "Good morning all!" Shigure had appeared in the doorway, hair combed neatly and already dressed.

Yuki mumbled a "good morning" and Tohru turned around with a platter of pancakes and bacon, saying:

"Good morning, Shigure-san!"

Shigure sat down at the table with a mug of tea and picked up the daily newspaper. There was a creaking outside the kitchen and Kyo walked in, hair spiky and eyes squinted. He managed to stumble to the table and sit down, just as Tohru plunked the platter of pancakes down next to the orange juice. They ate in silence for a few minutes until:

"I think I have something to confess." It was Kyo.

The rest of the table turned their heads inquisitively to stare at him, then:

" I think I love Uotani-san."

Tohru's eyes widened, Yuki dropped his fork, and Shigure proclaimed: "HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS!"

Kyo slapped Shigure on the back of the head, causing him to spew tea all over his newspaper. "OMIGOSH! Are you okay?!" shrieked Tohru, jumping up.

"Yes, quite fine, but I'm afraid the paper isn't." said Shigure, with a laugh.

While Tohru threw out the newspaper, Shigure left the room and Yuki asked:

"Why do you love Uotani-san, Kyo?"

"Well, despite the fact that she's beaten me at Dai-Him- Min, she's a really nice person. She's smart, helpful, and has always seemed to be around."

"Aww ! You two would make such a kawaii couple." blurted out Tohru from next to the garbage can.

"You should probably tell her at the dance," said Yuki, with a sly smile, "Y'know, as a Christmas gift."

"That would be so sweet!"

"I think I will." Kyo, said with a determined air.

It was 2 P.M. and Yuki and Tohru were at the market.

"What should we have for Christmas dinner?" Tohru asked.

"How about Kobe Beef?" Yuki suggested.

"Oh yes! And we can have leeks and some sticky rice with it."

"I know Kyo will love the leeks." Yuki said.

"Oh he will! I have a special Christmas leek casserole recipe that will make him think it's not leeks."

"Excellent."

Tohru was preparing dinner that night when,

"Hey Tohru, come look at this!"

Tohru ran from the kitchen and into the living room where Yuki, Kyo, and Shigure sat on the couch, watching the news.

"And our weather with meteorologist, Tatsu Yaki."

"Thank you, Hakara-san. If you'll look at this folks, we have a mass snowstorm headed our way. It is said to be bringing over a foot of snow to the Tokyo area, so get prepared folks! The storm center says it should hit tomorrow afternoon."

"Oh gosh!" said Tohru.

"I guess we'll have to stock up and cover the garden tomorrow morning." Yuki said.

"I'll go to the market in the morning."

"Can I come along?"

"Sure, I can always use a hand with the groceries."

Tohru and Yuki were up early the next morning, intent on getting to the market.

"I'm sure glad that you volunteered to come along with me." Tohru said, walking closer to Yuki.

"Anything to help out my little Tohru." he said, smiling, putting his arm around her shoulders and bringing her closer to him.

"So what do we need to stock up on?" Tohru asked.

"Batteries, , water, tea, candles, and matches." Yuki ticked off each one on his fingers.

It was beginning to snow...
