Chapter 2
"Tohru!"
"Eh...? Hai???"
"Tohru, if you don't eat your rice, it will get cold."
"Ah...em."
Arisa looked at Tohru with a suspicious glance.
"Tohru-chan."
"Hai?"
"If you have anything troubling you, you can tell it to me... though I believe I am not able to help you but at least I can share your burden..."
Arisa knew that the Sohma family matter troubles Tohru and that is something out of her ability to help.
"Em... Uo-chan, thank you for worrying about me... but, I'm fine." Tohru flash one of her don't-worry-I'm-fine smile at Uo-chan but in her heart she still felt insecure... 'I'm sorry, Uo-chan, I can't tell you anything about the Sohma family because I have promised them...' (Tohru apologizes in her heart)
"I wonder how Hana-chan is doing."
"Em? Hanajima? Hah~ she's fine! I bump in to her near the store yesterday! Remember she said she wants to take up 'supernatural denpa research' (what type of subject is this? *sweatdrop*) She managed to get in to that university~ seems like she's happy there..."
(yuii-chan: I wonder she's doing research there or being researched....)
"That's great... I was a little worried when Hana-chan said she wants to go there. If she's happy then there shouldn't be any problem." Tohru replied with a relieved smile.
After dinner, Tohru went to work. She found a new job near her university~ as a waitress in a cafeteria. The boss was kind enough to let her off early every work day (as she is still a student and a girl, in particular). So when she reached her hostel after work, Tohru still have spare time to do some revision for tomorrow's lesson. However, once again she find herself wandering back to the Sohma clan...
"This won't do... I have a strong feeling that something is not right. Something had happened to the family... maybe I should give them a call..."
Tohru looked at the clock on the wall... it's already 10.45pm.
"They might have slept at this time... well... tomorrow then. After class."
Next day after the last class, Tohru walked towards the hostel phone and starts dialing Shigure's house number...
"du... du... du... du... du... du..." The phone was engaged... Tohru dialed again but it's still the same.
'Maybe one of them is on the phone...' And she left with a heavy heart... determined to call again later in the evening.
"du.. du.. du... du... du... du..." No matter how many times Tohru dialed the phone, it's still engaged.
'It can't be... who would be on the phone endlessly?' The thought of Shigure and Ayame flirting on the phone flashed on Tohru's mind. But she dismissed that thought as fast as lightning, unable to believe it would happen for Shigure don't like to waste time talking to Ayame on the phone... he would rather flirt with him face-to-face...in obvious reason to irritate people around them...
'Then what could possibly happen?' Tohru wondered...
She looked at the clock... it's only 4.30pm now and there's no need for her to work today. Should she......? Well, why not? Even though she's no longer staying there but they are still her best friends, her saviors... they are still friends and though she might come uninvited but she's sure that they will welcome her...
Without wasting anymore time, Tohru hurriedly changed her clothes and grab her bag. If she can catch the bus now...
She was just in time. The bus was about to leave but she stopped it in a hurry~ the door opened to a panting Tohru and she paid the fare, settling down to a seat near the window while catching her breath... Now, she can't possibly go visiting empty handed, could she? Soon after she gets down, Tohru walked to the hypermarket that she, yuki and Kyo used to buy things together... she really missed those good old times. When they were so close and happy...
"Miss, are you alright?"
"Ah? Ah, sorry, I'm fine... how much?"
A little embarrassed, Tohru paid the lady and walked out. She didn't realize she had been day dreaming again while queuing...
While walking to Shigure's house, Tohru was so excited that she could hardly calm herself down. "Yuki and Kyo would definitely be surprised..." but as the house becomes clearer to her eyes, Tohru can feel her heart beating fast... not because of excitement but fear. Fear for something might have happened in the house...
"Tohru!"
"Eh...? Hai???"
"Tohru, if you don't eat your rice, it will get cold."
"Ah...em."
Arisa looked at Tohru with a suspicious glance.
