Chapter 3
Tohru fastened her footsteps. She saw a black car parked at the side. Suddenly she brightened up.
"Ah, Hatori-san's car. He must be here too."
Tohru walked towards the wooden house and was about to knock when she heard two voices speaking seriously...
"There's nothing we can do now! I suggest we let her know about it."
"No. she is not a Sohma family member. And she has her own life now... we can't tell her."
"But Ha-san, can't you understand? Maybe she is able to help..."
"Help? How?" Hatori looked at Shigure bitterly... first time ever being so emotional...
"I don't know... but I feel that she is the only one who can save Yuki..."
Tohru's heart skipped a beat. Did they just mention Yuki's name? Save Yuki? Why? And who's the 'she' that they have been talking about?
"Shigure quit it. We are the ones who are supposed to figure out a way to rescue him. Not depending on a girl who does not have anything to do with matter. Momiji have been locking himself up in his room these past few days. He said he wants to 'accompany' Yuki."
"Momiji have been very fond of Yuki..."
"Haru is frequently turning into his 'black mode' ... he is locking himself up in order to protect others. He is afraid he might hurt others who don't have any connection with this matter."
"Akito..." Shigure felt so helpless... why did it happened?
Suddenly they were disturbed by a sound. Something dropped on the ground outside. Shigure and Hatori hurriedly open the door and revealed a crying Tohru... beside her on the ground was some fruits she had just bought from the hypermarket...
"Tohru!!!"
"I... I'm sorry, Shigure-san, Hatori-san... I don't mean to... to... eavesdrop but... I, I, I didn't expect..."
"It's ok, Tohru..." Shigure tried to calm the poor girl down.
"Tohru, what did you hear just now?"
"Ha-san!"
"Shigure, don't stop me."
"I... I heard that you said something had happened to Yuki-kun. Momiji-kun and Hatsuharu-san have been locking themselves in their room... Hatori-san, Shigure-san; please tell me what had happened!!"
"This has got nothing to do with you so it's better for you to stay out of it."
"Ha-san! Since she had heard about it, we might as well tell her!"
"Shigure! Who are you trying to play? Didn't you know this will make things worse? Pulling her into this mess! She had left this place and family for good!"
"Hatori, you are the one who don't understand. Didn't you see how Ayame reacted? Helpless. We? Helpless. What can WE do?"
This is the first time Shigure had spoke so firmly to Hatori... Tohru was a little shocked... having been here for more than two years, this is the first time she sees Shigure and hatori having an argument.
"Then what can SHE do?" Hatori is getting impatient. He just doesn't understand what is playing in Shigure's mind. What is he trying to pull?
"WE cannot go against Akito because we are Sohma. But she's an outsider... she can do something about it. Unlike us."
"And get involved? Are you out of your mind? I was so glad when she finally leaves here but here goes again, you trying to pull her back into the Sohma sufferings!"
"I am not. I am just trying to help Yuki."
That sentence sounds firm and final. End of argument. Hatori wanted to say something but nothing came out. Yes, he wanted to help Yuki too. That is why he's here. They are going no where arguing like this.
"Please... Shigure-san, Hatori-san, tell me what had happened..."
Tohru's eyes are still red with tears. Though she didn't know what had happened to Yuki but it must be something serious. Otherwise, both Hatori and Shigure won't start arguing and Momiji and Hatsuharu won't lock themselves up~
