A/N: This was pretty well done I think but I am slightly biased. This is a bit of a dramatic chapter, It's a bit scary, I kinda drew it from personal fears I had when I was younger. I don't want to give away the chapter so I won't go into that. I put Kagura in this story, I wouldn't have if it wasn't nesessary, I'm not fond of Kagura, but she's also so up and down that I have a hard time writing her, so if she seems a little more subdued, that's because, it's how I think she should be rather then how she nesessarily is. Please enjoy this chapter.
After walking far enough down the road that, she lost sight of Momiji, Tohru started to sing to herself a bit. "Whose in the forrest strolling, la la la lala la la la la." she blushed realizing she had forgotten some of the words to the song Momiji had taught her. "I wonder what I should make for dinner?" She thought out loud. It could be hard preparing a meal that Kyou would enjoy as well as everyone else, given the list of things he doesn't like. "I think I have all the ingrediants for, miso soup." There was that one loophole for some reason, he liked miso just fine in soup.
It started to get a bit darker as she walked along, and the sky had turned a dark purple. 00 It's a lot harder to find my way back in the dark, I'd beter walk slower so I don't get lost 00 As she thought that her foot hit something and she fell on her face. "Ow" She had landed on her elbow, but wasn't badly injured, just a bruise. She sat up and dusted herself off a bit, then looked around for the object that caused her to fall. Her fingers grased on a can that presented itself to be the culprit. "Oh, a can! I'll throw it away when I get home that way no one else will trip over it!" she said grabbing the can and lifted herself off the ground.
As it got darker out, Tohru began to notice more fireflies appearing. 00 Oh how pretty! I wish I had a jar I could catch them in. 00 She thought, remembering how she used to love catching fireflies with her mom, when she was a little girl. Then she remembered the can she was carrying. It was big enough for sure, and when she got home she could put them in a prope jar to display them in. No one was around so she started to chase the beautiful beams of light. Laughing and giggling, and having a great time, it was almost as if her mother was with her. She had been running a round for a bit, and must have caught 30 fireflies. She couldn't wait to get home to display them, but all the running around had tired her out, and she couldn't remember which way she was headed. She sat down against a tree, breathing heavily.
"I was havng so much fun, I forgot I wanted to get home early to start supper, now I'm going to be late." She said out loud. 00 I hope they don't worry about me. 00 She closed her eyes, trying to remember which direction to head in.
"Is that, you Tohru?" A voice called to her from the road.
Tohru opened her eyes. "Ka-Kagura?"
A shadow bent down in front of Tohru, by this time it was difficult to see beyond the short distance in front of her own face. "Yes, but what are you doing on the side of the road so late at night, so far from the house?" The shadow asked, offering a hand to help her friend up.
Tohru took the hand. "I was walking home from the main house and, I saw all the fireflies and I thought, I'd like to catch them, like I used to do with my mom, but then I got all turned around and I forgot which way I was going, so I thought I'd sit and work it out from there." Tohru told her friend. "But what are you doing out so late?"
"I thought I'd pay Kyou a visit, tomorrow's the aniversary of the day, he asked me to marry him, ahh, my love." She sighed.
"Oh how wonderful, it's a good thing we ran into each other, so I can make enough soup for you too!" Tohru said as they started to walk.
The girls walked side by side, talking and giggling, but it was quite dark, and they had a bit of a walk ahead.

Shigure looked up from his newspaper. "It's getting late I wonder where our dear little flower is." He said to the two boys at the other side of the table.
Both boys looked up. "Miss Honda is running a bit later then I was expecting, I think I'll go look for her." Yuki said, getting up from the table.
"If you're going, I'm coming too, there's no way I'm gonna sit back and let you get all the credit for worrying about her." Kyou jumpped up. 00 Besides the hair on the back of my neck is standing on end, I have a bad feeling about something. 00

"Look out, there's something in the road!!!!!"
The driver slammed on the breaks, but he was going too fast.
"TOHRU!!!!!!!!"
A/N: Wow! My first drama. I've grown so much. Please tell me what you think, but keep in mind that this is a happy story, it just starts out sad.
