Chapter 3: Memories

ÔWhy? Why did I ask her to stay with us? Why Honda Tohru of all people?Õ, asked Yuki to himself.

ÒBecause she reminds you of her,Õ said a voice in YukiÕs head.

ÔNo, she doesnÕt!Ó objected Yuki.

While Yuki was having this internal battle within himself, Shigure quietly crept up behind him. ÒYUKI!Ó, shouted Shigure right in YukiÕs ear . Yuki jumped a mile in surprise, having not noticed when Shigure had appeared beside him.

ÒJeez, Shigure! DonÕt surprise me like that!Ó

Shigure chuckled,Ó We have a problem. Come on!Ó

Yuki followed Shigure to the living room where Tohru and Kyo were siting across from each other in awkward silence. When the two newcomers made themselves comfortable, Yuki asked the questions burning in his mind. ÒSo whatÕs the problem?Ó

ÒWe have the little issue of a room for Tohru-kun.Ó

ÒOh, I see...Why donÕt you just give her that stupid catÕs room?Ó

ÒWhat did you say!Ó shouted Kyo, ÒAnyway, you have a spare bedroom so she can just sleep in there.Ó

ÒWe donÕt have a spare bedroom,Ó said Yuki, genuinely confused.

ÒOh, really? Then what about her bedroom? Are you really going to let her room stay like that and let dust gather? Give it up! SheÕs not coming back. SheÕs probably over there, dead!Ó

ÒKyo!Ó, repremended Shigure in an angry voice, ÒthatÕs enough!Ó

Compared to Yuki, ShigureÕs scolding was nothing. One minute you see Yuki standing up with his hands clenched in fists and the other minute Kyo was flying across the room, breaking everything in his path. Yuki kept on beating him up until Shigure felt that Kyo had enough punishment and held him back.

ÒDonÕt you dare talk about her ever again! YouÕre abusing her just by talking about her, you low-life scum! I swear to god if you even say her name ever again, IÕll beat you so much that another word will never past your lips.Ó shouted Yuki, ÒYou think I donÕt know that dust is adding up in her room when sheÕs actually supposed to be in that room! You think I donÕt know the reason sheÕs over there is because of me! You donÕt even know the beginning of it!Ó

ÒYuki, Kyo, calm down. We have a guest,Ó scolded Shigure, surprisingly acting his age, ÒWeÕll just take the books out of my library and use that as TohruÕs room.Ó

While this...argument was happening, Tohru sat there, quietly, not sure if she should interrupt or not. Well, at least from this...disagreement, Tohru learned a few things. One, Kyo and Yuki were violent so never get on their bad side. Two, if you talk about this unknown girl, theyÕll get mad. Three, if theyÕre mad they donÕt see anything else but what theyÕre mad at. So if theyÕre mad, quickly, but quietly, get out of the room and to the nearest safest place.

Next Day

Yuki was still half-asleep as he changed into his school uniform. Yuki looked at his mirror to tie his tie when the things that Kyo had said the day before entered his mind.

ÔWhat if she really is dead?Õ thought Yuki. He quickly shook his head, dismissing the thought. Soon he was done and headed downstairs for breakfast. That morningÕs breakfast was a little odd. Having two added members of the household made breakfast awkward and tense although everyone tried their best to break the uneasiness. Finally, breakfast was over and everyone sat there in silence until Tohru got up and fetched some things from the kitchen counter. She laid one in front of Yuki and the other in front of Kyo. Both looked down to find that Tohru had packed them a bento. Yuki looked at his bento in silence as his eyes watered up but he blinked them back. ÒSheÓ had made bentos for him too.

The three walked in awkward silence to school. When they got there they went their own separate ways in the class, making sure that it was just a coincidence that they came at the exact same time. Tohru went to her friends, Uo-chan and Hana-chan, Kyo went to his desk, and Yuki went to his desk beside Yamazaki Lynn. Lynn had an adorable chubby face and stood a little shorter than Yuki. She had green eyes that were captivating and her slim figure made her wanted by most boys. Only Yuki regarded her with care and politeness. After all, Lynn is her best friend. Not only that, but Lynn had been there since he was young and helped him from a distance. Today, though, he had to ask her something. Had to.

ÒLynn-san, may I ask you a question?Ó

Lynn looked up from the book she was studying and blushed when she found out it was Yuki that asked her the question. Lynn had a slight crush on Yuki since they were little. Screw that, a huge crush! ÒOf courseÓ, said Lynn with her soft voice.

ÒDoes Honda-san remind you of someone?Ó

ÒYou mean, does she remind me of--Ó

ÒYes, herÓ, interrupted Yuki.

ÒWell...Her cheerfulness does a little bit, but I think that she had a different personality from Honda-sanÓ, answered Lynn, after studying Tohru for a while.

ÒYes, I thought so tooÓ , sighed Yuki

Soon class started and all conversation ceased.

Lunchtime

Yuki took out his home-made bento and opened it. Just for a second, Yuki saw the bentos that she used to make flash before his eyes. He remembered when she first made him his bento.

Flashback

It was early morning and the smell of food woke Yuki up. Today was the day. Today was the first day of school. More importantly, today was the first day of school going with the person he loved most. He quickly changed into his uniform and rushed downstairs. What he found was amazing. On the dining table were all sorts of food. All his, Shigure, and KyoÕs favorite foods were placed neatly on the table. Yuki was still awe-strucked when Shigure and Kyo came into the dining room. The person who made the foods came in and saw them with their mouth open in shock so she had to go to each individual and close their mouths. When they had their share of staring, they sat down and started eating. The three men exclaimed over how delicious the food was when they found a chance. Soon the dishes were completely empty and everyone was full. The only girl in the house cleared the dishes and washed the dishes. Yuki came in the kitchen as soon as she finished the dishes.

ÒOh, hello, Yuki! I have something for you.Ó said the girl as she went to get something from the counter. She walked to Yuki with a bento. ÒHere. I made you a bento,Ó she said as she handed him the bento.

ÒI canÕt take this,Ó said Yuki a little uncertain.

ÒWhy not?Ó asked the girl more than a little confused.

ÒYou spent so hard making breakfast and I know you so you probably worked hard making the bento. You should eat it, not me.Ó

ÒOh! Is that whatÕs bothering you? DonÕt worry! I made one for myself and for Kyo.Ó she said, holding two more bentos, ÒBesides I made these with a lot of love.Ó

ÒO.K. Thanks a lot. IÕm sure IÕll love it,Ó smiled Yuki.

ÒYouÕll eat it then, right? ThatÕs great! Thanks!Ó said the girl and left the kitchen after giving a kiss on his cheek. She went to find Kyo to give him his bento.

Flashback

Yuki still remembered the bentos that she gave him. It was always delicious and always had a little note in it which was really cute. Yuki ate the bento absently and before he knew it, lunchtime was over.

Lynn watched Yuki faze out during lunchtime and she could probably bet her life what he was thinking about.

ÔI wonder if I should tell him now,Õ thought Lynn, ÔNah, IÕll tell Shigure on ValentineÕs Day.Õ
