Chapter 9: Back Home In Tokyo

Princess Sango

Tohru sighed as she packed her bags for the one day trip, yes that's right, she was going back. Taking a deep breath, Tohru realized how much she missed Tokyo, but why would he want to go there she had asked him. His response seemed prolonged for a second until he answered simply, "I want to be the first kid to go to Tokyo when I start school this year!"

She had smiled at that answer but knew it was more to that. Tohru remembered telling Tomiko to go tell him a story and she decided to tell a tale that was true, but how would he know that? Tomiko had also sensed her despair and offered to take him by herself, but that wasn't something she was intent on letting her do. So she had just caved in then and there and told them to go pack.

Tomiko and Kazuki walked inside as she closed up her bag, "To Tokyo we go."

Kazuki smiled and grabbed onto her hand as they took a cab to the train station and then soon paid for the tickets and were on the bullet train. When the train stopped after what seemed forever, they got off and checked into a hotel. "Where would you like to go?" Tohru asked sweetly.

"Let's go somewhere fun, you lived here mama, where did you go to have fun?" Kazuki asked innocently.

"I hung out in a forest with my friends, no where else."

"Can we go there?"

"Maybe, but why don't we go walk around the mall?" Tohru asked them both.

Tomiko seemed delighted about hearing the word mall, "Maybe I can meet a guy here!"

Tohru laughed, "You are such a flirt, but it could happen."

Kazuki laughed too and asked for a ride on Tomiko's back and she nodded, "Hop on!"

When they reached the mall they were really hyper but Tohru was slightly on edge, looking for someone who might recognize her after five years. No one seemed too but she was on the edge, all it would take for someone to recognize her, yet at the same time she wanted someone to see her. Tohru wanted someone like Hana, Arisa, Yuki, or even Kyo to walk right up and smile and hug her.

She seemed to have gotten her wish when she bumped someone's shoulder, turned around to say sorry and saw Yuki's purple pools staring into her brown eyes that was waiting for him to say something. Yet they both stood there tongue tied and all Tohru did was hug him and yell, "I missed you Yuki-kun!"

That's when Tomiko realized who he was, Kazuki's father.
