chapter3

YUKI

I yawned, my eyes still heavy with sleep dimly adknowledging Kyo stomping out of the room.Good,i did'nt want to fight that stupid cat today."Good Mo-morning torhu"i said with a yawn.How could she wake up so early?i could understand kyo,he was a cat but torhu...how she force herself to get out of bed."good morning yuki"it took me a few minutes to register how nervous she sounded but once i did it was totally obvious.

Concern overwhelmed me as it always did when it was about torhu.Kyo you could tell was always over-protective with his actions and emotions.Sometimes i wished i could be like that instead i kept it all inside as i did now.Very slowly i asked"miss honda..is their something wrong?"

"oh no,of course not! why would you think that!"her face was turning pink.

"well if you say so.if you want to talk about it,tell me,i changed the subject since she did'nt want to talk about it and i did'nt want to force her, so what's for breakfast?"i asked.She burst into tears and i was startled and dismayed at the same time.what did i do wrong?

"miss honda, i placed my hand on her shoulder, please tell me what's wrong.maybe i can help."

"i-i the only thing i made for breakfast is riceballs!i'm so-so sorry"she started to bow her head but i stopped her and smiled."is that all? infact i'm in the mood for riceballs right now so that's the perfect breakfast" i said trying to cheer her up.

I walked over to the tray filled with riceballs and picked one up,biting into it."mmm,i said,deliocious."and i was'nt lying.It really was.Torhu was a great cook.

"where's the rat?"i asked her,He seemed a bit bothered when i came down."

" he did? i did'nt relize! he's probably on the roof.i'll go up and see what's wrong."she pulled off the bandanna and apron and placed on the kitchen counter.I stared at her she looked so beautiful.Her blue eyes caught mine and i gazed away flustered.

"yuki?is something wrong? do you need something?"

"oh,no.i was just going to change."i started up the stairs to my room and even without turning knew that her gaze was boring into the back of my head.Puzzled and worried.how could i tell her that all i wanted was to be with her? i shook my head and slammed the door to my room.
