Tohru awoke to the sunlight dancing upon her face. She moved the covers and got out of bed. I wonder if anyone else is awake. She thought to herself as she made her bed.
Tohru's curiosity got the best of her so she headed to the kitchen to start breakfast. Once there, Tohru found Kyou and Yuki, who was reading papers for the student Council, were already eating. Did I get up late? She thought before heading to the stove to start her own breakfast. "Good Morning Kyou-kun, Yuki-kun, it's such a beautiful day today!" Tohru greeted them with a big smile. "Good Morning Honda-san." Yuki replied smiling back. "Mornin'" Kyou replied groggily.
She glanced at Yuki and Kyou. "Um, did I get up late? She asked. Kyou and Yuki glance at her. "No you didn't Honda-san, we just got up early and fixed breakfast, there's still some left if you want it." Yuki replied before diving into his reading once again. "Of course you didn't get up late." Kyou stated looking at Tohru. "We just got hungry is all." He explained.
Tohru's stomach grumbled and she remembered the food. She turned back toward the stove and the food. Dealing out herself a small portion, she walked over to the table and sat down. After taking a bite, she found the food to be excellent. "m-m-m, Yummy!" she said smiling. Then, noticing the absence of a certain novelist, she asked "Um, Yuki-kun, where is Shigure-san?" Yuki looked over at her "not sure Honda-san, he's probably still sleeping." Yuki explained. Tohru nodded, this sounded like something Shigure-san would do, after all.
Looking up at the clock, Tohru was shocked to see that it was time to leave for school. "Oh! Look, its time for school, shall we go then?" she asked Kyou and Yuki cheerily. Kyou looked up from the Mogeta comic he had been reading "Ya, sure, I suppose we should go." He replied as he stood up. The three of them grabbed their bags and were out the door.
Tohru's mind began to wander over all that had happened since she had come to live under the Sohma's roof. She didn't know why, but it seemed as if Kyou had started acting distantly all of a sudden. He didn't seem to be his usual self. As if on command, Kyou was there by her side all of a sudden. He did seem different; she just couldn't decide just what was so different about him. This was what bothered her more than anything; the not knowing what was wrong. A sudden thought came to her mind oh no, what if I said or did something to offend him All through school this was the thought that rang through her head.
Later, after making dinner for everyone, the single thought kept running through her mind. What if I said or did something to offend him? She kept asking herself. It got even worse when she lay in her bed, she couldn't get to sleep, couldn't even close her eyes. Finally, after hours of lying in bed, exhaustion set in and her weary eyes closed.
The next morning, the thought was again ringing in her mind. She decided she would have to talk things over with Uo and Hana at lunch and see if they could help her. The day seemed to crawl along towards lunch. Finally, Lunch arrived and she pulled Uo and Hana aside and told them of her dilemma. "Tohru-kun, you have nothing to fear, I'm sure you have done nothing wrong." Hana told her. "What are you talkin' about Hana? Sounds to me like you're in love Tohru-kun; plain and simple. You admitted yourself that he is all you can think about." Tohru was shocked that Uo would say she was in love. How could she be? She told herself that Uo was wrong, that she wasn't in love with Kyou.
That night, Tohru laid in bed thinking about what Uo had said. Was Uotani-san right? Tohru laid thinking over the time she had spent with Kyou, how he made her laugh and joked with her, a side he rarely let anyone see, this much was obvious to even her. As she thought about things, she suddenly sat bolt upright. Oh no! I think Uo-Chan is right! I think I am in love with Kyou-kun! Why else would I obsess over his being different? What am I going to do? These thoughts raced through her mind; and before she knew it, she was asleep.
