Tohru stood there waiting for an answer hoping dreadfully that she had not offended him. Suddenly she heard a loud booming laugh. She stood there stunned not believing that, that laugh had come from Asokasan. Seeing him laugh made her laugh and they both laughed together. Finally when they'd settled down, Mr. Sohma, said Tohru. Please please, don't call me Mr. Sohma said, Asoka. You make me sound so old! Oh! i'm soo sorry said Tohru with a huge bow. No, don't be sorry! It's truly all right! Said Asoka with a huge smile on his face.
Oh, ok said Tohru. So ummm, may I ask again what the reason for this visit is? Said Tohru. Yes yes, I was getting to that said, Asoka. My maid, Mrs. Tanaka has gone on a leave of absence since she has become pregnant. I was hoping that you could take her place. Now, I only asked this of you because I know you need the money and because I would really enjoy your company. It gets very lonely around here with only Hatori and Mrs. Tanaka around, and I would like it very much if you could bring some of your brightness to this house. Its so dark and dreary here said, Asoka. So would you like to take the job? Said Asoka. I would really like to cause I could use the extra money but, I don't think I could do a good job here, with all of my other responsibilities said, Tohru with a sad look on her face.
Oh, I forgot to mention something said, Asoka. If you decided to take this job, you would stay with me for the time that you were to work here. You could pick your own room and you can basically do whatever you want as long as you handle your responsibilities said, Asoka. How could you expect me to leave Kyo-kun and Yuki-kun alone like that! Said Tohru with utter astonishment. Who would wash their clothes, make them dinner and just take care of them when they get sick? I couldn't possibly leave them alone! They would be so angry with me said, Tohru in exasasperation.
If you decided to stay and work here for the time that you are needed, then I would merely tell them that you are needed here and I have ordered you to stay and work for me said, Asoka. One second said, Tohru. How long will I be working here? Said, Tohru. Oh approximately 6 months said Asoka. When Mrs. Tanaka left she was already 6 months pregnant and decided to take her leave, then. So have you made up your mind Tohru said, Asoka? Oh no, Asokasan. Its too soon to give you an answer said, Tohru. Could you please allow me a few days to think it over? Said, Tohru. So may I leave? I have a lot of things to finish at home said, Tohru. You may go Tohru, please send your answer to me as soon as possible. May I add, that you looked very beautiful today said, Asoka? Thank you, Asokasan said, Tohru Said as she turned around and went back through the double doors and made her way down the long winding hallway.
When she arrived back at home Kyo and Yuki waited by the door. Where have you been Tohru, and tell the truth, Said Kyo. I know damn well that you weren't with Hanajimasan. I'm sorry Kyokun and Yuki-kun, but I can't tell you, just yet Said, Tohru. Tohru ran upstairs with tears in her eyes, she hated having to lie and hide things from Kyo and Yukikun. They had done so much for her, ever since they'd found her living in that tent outside. She cried and cried, and then finally she stopped as sleep overtook her exhausted body.
When she woke up, Shiguri stood over. Obviously waiting for her to awaken. I'm sorry for keeping you waiting said Tohru. Is there anything you need for me to do? Oh no! Said Shiguri. Asoka, asked me to ask you if you were ready to answer his question. No, actually I don't, I need more time to think about. I'm so worried about what Kyo and Yuki think. They would be so upset with me. I don't know what to do Said Tohru. I don't want them to be upset with me. If you sit down and talk to them, they will listen. You might want to go do that now, they both seem to be in a good mood Said Shiguri.
Tohru quickly got dressed and ran down the stairs hoping to catch Kyo and Yukikun. Kyo Yuki, can you wait a minute? I need to talk to you Said Tohru. As she arrived in the kitchen Kyo and Yuki turned around to face her. Tohru sat down next to them and began to explain what happened the day before. Yesterday I got a message from the main house Said Tohru. It was from Asoka, now don't be upset. He needs me to come and help him out at the main house, since Mrs. Tanaka is pregnant. He has offered to pay me so that I won't have to work so much Said Tohru. I haven't given him answer yet, but he needs it soon. I didn't want to answer him until I talked to you and got you're approval.
Its ok, Tohru Said Yuki. I understand, that you need to work so that you can spend more time on your school. I also understand that you really just need the money. Are you crazy? Said Kyo. How could you even think about working for him Tohru Said Kyo. You know I hate his guts. You have to be reasonable Kyo, Said Tohry with a hint of a sob in her voice.
I really need that money, you have no idea how exhausting it is going to work, going to school, and then coming back here to clean up the house. You have no idea, said Tohru now sobbing freely. I'd only be there for six months and then i'd be right back here with you guys. You know I would never hurt you guys on purpose Said Tohru. Six months! Said Kyo. Do you know how long that is? Who's gonna take care of us? Said Kyo. Don't be selfish Kyo, Said Yuki. You know that Tohru needs that money! We won't be mad at you Tohru if you accpet that job. If you do, we will welcome you back when you come back Said Yuki.Now I must go attend to my garden, so please excuse me Said Yuki. Yea, I gotta go train Said Kyo i'll see ya later Tohru, Said Kyo.
Tohru wipped her tears and went upstairs to tell shiguri that she would accept Asoka's offer. She packed her cloths and called for a cab.
