"A TRAIN RIDE TO REMEMBER"
CHAPTER 21
It looked so nice she forgot it was to bade goodbye to Yuki and Akito and she ran to her room crying again but stopped just in time for dinner to be ready (Haru and Kyo made it)
After dinner, everyone went straight to bed, they had a big day the next day.
The next day Tohru woke up nice and early and got ready in her black dress and got breakfast ready. Everyone got up within 10 or 20 minutes of her so breakfast wasn't that cold. The ceremony started at 12:00 so the decided to leave at 11:45. They stepped outside into the weak sunny day, to hear the birds tweeting cheerfully and the towns traffic in the distance.
No one spoke on the way to church. Only the odd coughing or clearing off a throat was made. People gave odd looks as they walked past them. Some gossiping away, but obviously by everyone's faces, they didn't care.
They finally reached the church. The memorial was outside in the sunlight. There were two white coffins placed next to each other; a large bouquet of flowers on each. Above them was a marble head-stone. One saying 'Yuki Sohma' the other 'Akito Sohma'. The service was beautiful, they had a niece priest. All of the Sohma family were there saying goodbye to either Akito or Yuki or both. Tohru gave a nice speech about how nice Yuki had been to her. She never once said anything about Akito because he'd never been nice to her. The service was a long time as practically every member of the Sohma wanted to say something about them.
Finally, it was time to lower the coffins. Akito's was owered first. People throwing flowers or dirt as the priest said "ashes to ashes... dust to dust..." all the Sohma's sobbed as the white coffin was lowered slowly into the ground. Next was Yuki, his white coffin too, lowered down slowly, this was Tohru's and the other's turn to cry, as they threw flowers and dirt as the priest said "ashes to ashes... dust to dust...". Surprisingly, Yuki got more flowers than Akito. Tohru cried harder than ever as people shovelled dirt onto Yuki's coffin.'The first Sohma to ever be nice to me is gone! Actually gone!' she thought. This was a most unhappy day for the Sohma's and Tohru...
