Chapter 2
Her hands in his.
His fingers laced in with hers.
Her scent of cherry blossoms lingered in the air.
Her long black hair followed her every movement.
Her body moved effortlessly.
Evenly with the rhythm.
His steps faltered as he followed.
The way she lead him.
Deeper and Deeper with every step.
The way his head felt lighter.
Everything began to spin.
He was Dizzy in love.
Shigure opened his eyes. It took him a few second for him to remember where he was. He had been dreaming. Dreaming of dancing with her. Shigure sat up in his bed and tried to remember his dream. He tired to remember the way she held his hand, the way she guided him, and they way he felt around her. He tried to grasp the feeling in the dream but it seemed to running faster and faster away. He sighed and dropped back down on the bed, after a few minutes he decided to go back to sleep. Maybe he if he did he would dream of her again.
Tohru had gotten up early that morning to cook breakfast. She happily went about making breakfast. She had decided to make it extra special this morning because she had a certain person in mind. She started to fix the table when someone greeted her.
"Good morning..." Yuki greeted in a yawn.
She turned to face the purple haired boy. Tohru greeted him with a smile. "Good morning! I'm just fixing breakfast."
"I'll help you fix the table." Yuki offered as he took the plates from Tohru's hands.
"You don't really have to...uh..." Tohru insisted but Yuki was busy placing the places around the table.
"It looks extra special today. What's the occasion?" Yuki said after they had finished setting the table. He looked at all the delicious food on the table.
Before Tohru could say anything they were joined by Shigure and Kyo.
"Good morning! What is this? What were you two doing while Kyo and I were still asleep?" Shigure asked eyeing Tohru and Yuki suspiciously.
Tohru could feel herself blush. "Well...uh...it's not what your thinking!" Tohru remembered how distant he was the night before but this morning he seemed to have gone to his old self.
"Nothing they were doing nothing." Kyo answered for them.
"I think someone's jealous..." Shigure taunted as he faced Kyo.
"I-I'm not jealous...I'm just...uh...hungry!" Kyo exclaimed blushing.
"Sure. Keep telling that to yourself." Shigure teased.
"It looks like Tohru worked very hard on this food and we should eat before it gets cold." Yuki interrupted Kyo and Shigure.
With that everyone sat down and ate the food that Tohru had prepared. Kyo seemed a annoyed at what Shigure said and ate breakfast quietly. Tohru watched and felt her heart sink. She had made sure that breakfast was extra special and Kyo didn't seem to notice.
"Tohru do you need anything at the market? I'm going to town today." Shigure asked after swallowing a mouthful.
Tohru thought to herself for a moment. "Well I do need to go grocery shopping." She answered slowly.
"Well I'm going to town. Why don't you come with me! You two can come if you want." Shigure offered to Yuki and Kyo.
Yuki shook his head. "Thanks for the offer but I need to work on my garden."
"How about you jealous boy?" Shigure asked the silent Kyo.
"I wish I could go but I'm going to practice my fighting skills today." He answered quickly.
"Well I guess it's just going to be Tohru and I. Don't worry I promise I'll take care of her." Shigure smiled devilishly at the cat and rat.
"You better not try anything funny." Kyo answered darkly.
"Jealous again?" Shigure joked.
"I'm not jealous!" Kyo insisted angrily. He went back to eating his breakfast and he didn't say another word.
After breakfast and cleaning the table Tohru retreated to her room. She got herself ready to go to the market. She opened her closet and looked for the perfect outfit to wear. In the middle of picking an outfit she stopped and sighed to herself. Why was she getting all dressed up? Kyo wasn't going with Shigure and her. With those thoughts in mind Tohru picked a simple outfit. She tried to get her mind off Kyo and started to think about the things she needed to buy at the grocery store. She listed all the food mentally.
Tohru's thoughts were interrupted because someone knocked on the door. "Tohru? Are you ready?" Shigure yelled from the other side.
Tohru quickly made her way the door and opened it. A smiling Shigure greeted her. "Are you ready to go?"
"Yes. I'm ready." She quickly closed the room of her door and followed Shigure.
It was a beautiful day at town. The warm sun was shining and the sound of birds chirping could be heard. People seemed to have taken advantage of the beautiful, there seemed to be lots of people crowding the shops and stores. The atmosphere was merry despite the busy hustle of the townspeople. As Tohru and Shigure walked along the stores she couldn't help but smile. Going to town seemed to have cheered her up a bit.
"We don't we visit the book store and then visit the grocery store? I need some materials to finish my book." Shigure suggested merrily as they walked down the street.
Tohru smiled and nodded her head happily. She followed Shigure to a small book store at the end of the street. Inside the bookstore as Shigure looked for his materials Tohru decided to look at the books on Cooking. Tohru finally choose on a cookbook she decided to look for Shigure. She walked through the aisle searching for the writer. Suddenly as Tohru walked pass a aisle she felt someone bump into her. She fell on the floor with the great impact.
"I'm so sorry..." Tohru apologized as she searched the floor frantically for the book that she dropped. She grabbed for a book on the floor but it wasn't her book it was one on dancing. She looked up at the person that she bumped into. It was a little girl. A little girl with long black and clear gray eyes. Tohru blinked and stared hard at the person she bumped. She couldn't believe her eyes, it was the girl in Shigure's picture.
