Chapter 5: A Trip to the Nurse
AN: Do you like my story so far? Flames are always welcome. Plus, if you don't like my story then just tell me and I will have it removed ASAP. I am always open to different thoughts.
The next day at school during Science..."Now class, as you can see, if you mix the h20 with the blah blah blah blah..." Mrs. Takaya went on and on and on and on and on about the mixture of different chemicals and such. It was Science class now and Tohru couldn't help but feel depressed because Mrs. Takaya had changed the seating arrangements. She no longer sat next to Kyo. Instead, she sat next to the new kid: Yuki, Kyo's cousin. Tohru could not see why Kyo had hated him so much. Yuki was nice, fair, and intelligent. He also helped her with Science and Math like Kyo used to...
Tohru rested her head on her left hand as her elbow laid on the wooden desk. She doubted she would EVER get even a C in Science class but she tried her hardest to focus though she was unable to define all the science terms. She sighed and a white piece of paper came flying at her face. Someone had flicked it at her. Stunned by this sudden event she looked down at the piece of paper that was carefully shaped into a heart.
To: Tohru-chan
Fm. Kyo-kun
I have found out from Hana-chan and Uo-chan that you like me...Is this true? No matter, I must say that if it IS true I like you too...
-Kyo Sohma
p.s. If you read it carefully it kinda rhymes a little bit
"Wow..." Tohru whispered.
"Wow what?" Tohru glanced at Yuki who was giving her questioning looks. She immediately folded up the piece of paper and uttered, "Nothing..."
As soon as Yuki wasn't looking Tohru grabbed a pink post-it and wrote:
Yes, Kyo-kun, I like you...umm want to talk on AIM? My name is: Lovely Tohru 123-Tohru Honda
Just as Kyo had done before, Tohru folded the note into a cat (get it???) and flicked it back at him. Unaware of this, the note had hit him in his eye. Tohru automatically placed both hands over her mouth and began to feel guilty.
"OW!" cried Kyo.
"Is something wrong Mr. Sohma?" asked Mrs. Takaya.
"My eye...burns," Kyo answered placing his right hand over his right eye.
Tohru could not imagine what kind of terrible pain his eye was going through. Tohru was about to cry and stopped herself but could not hold back the one stray little tear that slid down her cheek.
"You may go to the nurse if it really hurts that badly Mr. Sohma," Mrs. Takaya told him.
"Yeah, whatever...I'll go," Kyo winced with agony as he took the health referral Mrs. Takaya wrote for him.
"Wait, you must take someone to accompany you..."
17 hands shot up, mainly because they weren't interested in Kyo's well being. They wanted to ditch Science class. Among the flock of various hands Kyo saw with his other eye that Tohru had raised her hand and looked at him with concern and guilt.
He gave a small smile and called, "Tohru," She rose from her seat and walked behind him out the door.
"I am so terribly sorry Kyo-kun!!! I have really bad flicking aim and I hope you forgive me!!! And I hope none of this will affect the way you feel about me!!! And..." Tohru was silenced by Kyo's soft, delicate finger.
"It's ok..."
"Oh but Kyo-kun..." Tohru whimpered.
He reached for her hand and grasped it tightly as if it would vanish in front of him in any second possible. Tohru willingly allowed him to hold her hand and they gazed into one another's eyes as he murmured, "Do you want to be my girlfriend?"
Tohru was not very surprised by his question because she knew he would ask her one way or another. "Yes," Kyo let go of her hand and hugged her (he's not cursed in my story!!!) with all his might but let go briskly just in case anyone would see them.
They are back from the Nurse and on their way back to class...
"By the way...Even though I got hit in the eye from your deadly note I read it really fast and...yeah I want to talk to you on Aim. My name is simple: Rat Xterminator (hint hint)" Kyo confirmed.
"Ok cool!" Tohru grinned.
After school...Tohru walked home like always and luckily for her, Mrs. Takaya didn't give her a bunch of homework like she always did. This time, Mrs. Takaya was in a bright mood and didn't give homework at all.
When Tohru arrived to the door of her house, she inserted the key into the opening and turned it right as she heard the familiar click of the door open. She entered the house and the first room she was in was the living room. She placed her backpack on the couch and went to the kitchen to find something to eat. From all the fatigue of school she decided not to cook anything and just grabbed one of those giant cookies that was hiding in the bottom of the cookie jar.
She ate it on her way up the stairs and by the time she reached her room the cookie vanished and made it's way into her stomach.
"Yummy!!!" Tohru exclaimed.
"She sat in front of her computer and hurriedly signed on AIM.
Lovely Tohru 123: Hi Kyo-kun!
Rat Xterminator: Hey Tohru
LT123: What's up?
RX: Nothing much...u?
LT123: I'm so glad Mrs. Takaya didn't give us so much homework like she always does you know?
RX: Yea
LT123: I can't wait till school tomorrow!
RX: y?
LT123: Because I get to see you! SILLY!
RX: lol
RX: Can I ask you a question?
LT123: anything
RX: How has Yuki been treating you over the past few school days?
LT123: oh He's really nice! He helps me and everything! He even tells me funny jokes!
RX: That's what I was afraid of...
LT123: What do you mean?
Rat Xterminator signed off at 4:17 p.m.
"How rude!" Tohru said to herself. "He didn't even bother to say bye!" Tohru signed off since there was no point on being on AIM anymore since Tohru was a little upset.
