5. Our dear Tohru is in love
"Tohru…" Tohru was packing her stuffs into her bag when she heard Hanajima's voice calling for her.
"Ah, Hana-chan, Uo-chan. What's up?" She gave them a wide smile. Seeing her two best friends by her side like this made her happy. They meant everything to her, after her mother and of course Kyo. And she loved them a lot.
"Nothing," Uotani said, patting Tohru on the shoulder, giving her a grin.
"Love. I can sense it clearly. It is love," Hanajima suddenly blurted.
"Huh?" Tohru blushed. She knew that Hanajima was referring to her.
"Ah, your electric jolt again huh, Hana-chan. And from whom did you sense that, may I ask?" Uotani wrapped her arm around Hanajima's neck, staring cheekily at Tohru.
"It's Tohru. I sense it from her. What an intense wave. Hmm… it must be deep love." Hanajima replied.
"Ehh!" Tohru panicked. She waved her hands restlessly.
"Ah… ano… ano… that is…" She stuttered.
"No need to tell. We knew it already." Uotani replied. "But, who is it? Which one? The prince or the…"
"It's the carrot top. Yeah, positively! I sensed the same wave on him. With the same intensity as hers. Yup, there's no doubt to it."
"Ah, Hana-chan! Wait! It's not like that!" Tohru tried to defend herself. Defend herself? But, from what? She was confused herself.
"Lonely… I will be lonely. Our Tohru is going to be a bride. Ah, just the thought of it almost make me cry." Hanajima uttered.
"Stop it, Hanajima! What are you, her grandma or something? Stop worrying about nothing. It's not like she's going to get married in this year or two. She will still be your precious little Tohru," Uotani snapped. "Well, if you ask me, of course I won't allow that carrot top to date her. But, if that's her choice, there's nothing I can say except giving her my full blessing. There's nothing else I wish except for Tohru's happiness."
And the three of them hugged each other, overwhelmed by the mixture of emotions they were buried into.
"Hana-chan, Uo-chan… Thank you so much…"
"Hey, what are you guys doing there? Snap out of it! It makes me sick seeing you guys hugging each other in the middle of the walkway. What are you guys?" Suddenly the peaceful scene was interrupted by an annoying yell.
"Kyo-kun?" Tohru seemed surprise.
"Oh, it's kyon-kyon!" Uotani said, grinning to herself.
"Who is kyon-kyon! Stop calling me by that name, you yankee!"
"Kyon-kyon…" Uotani pulled out her tongue to him, making Kyo more annoyed. "That name suits you, cat lover!"
"I am not a cat lover!"
"Yes you are! Kyon-kyon, the cat lover. HAHAHA!"
"Shut up, yankee or I gonna make you feel sorry for it!"
"Oh, yeah! Then, make me feel it, carrot top!"
"You..."
"Na… na… Kyo-kun, Uo-chan, calm down, please…"
"Humph, what an intense wave of anger…"
