Chapter 4 : Waking To An Empty Heart
Hatori, Shigure and Kyo stood over her bed, worried expressions mounted on their faces. Gently shaking Tohru, Hatori sat on her bed. " Honda-kun, Honda-kun wake up!" Hatori said ,forcefully. Tohru woke with a start, a scream pericing the room. Tears fell over the rims of her eyes, as she screamed, her eyes unfocused, still eneveloped in sleep. " Honda-kun, its me, Hatori."said Hatori, as Tohru's eyes came into focus. Her tears ran down her cheeks, her breathe heavy from the nightmarish dream. Shaking uncontrolably, Tohru took a slow deep breath, trying to calm her jumpy nerves. Hatori slowly released her, as she calmed, her dark iris enlarged out of fright. "Whats wrong?"asked Hatori, placing his hands at his sides.
Tohru gently touched her head, her hands shaking. "It was just a dream, nothing more, Hatori-san." said Tohru, plastering a bright smile on her face. Hatori looked at Shigure, who shrugged. "Then why were you screaming ?"asked Kyo, standing in the corner, slumpped against the walls. Tohru's smile waned, tears slowly forming in the corners of her eyes. " I was screaming ?" asked Tohru, placing her hands in her lap. Kyo let out an agravated sigh, as he took a few steps toward her bed. " Yay, you were screaming and crying, did you know that ?" Kyo asked, sarcasticly.
Fear began to mount in Tohrus stomach, as Kyo said those word, her hand trembling. 'It shouldn't be like this,' Tohru thought, tears once again welleding up into her eyes,'they should know of these dreams.' Tohru allowed her tears to fall, her eyes becoming pools of melted chocolate. " I been having these dream," sobbed Tohru, holding herself as if she felt small, " it was about, Yuki and you guys, it was so sa..sa..sad." Hatori looked at her, his eyes softening. "Is that all."said Shigure, a small smile forming on his lips. Tohru nodded, trying desperately to hold back her sobs.
" It was just a dream, Honda-kun." said Hatori, patting her on her head. Tohru looked up at him, her tears subsiding. " Dreams are just suppressed thoughts, that our minds allow us to see." said Shigure, his smile widening. "Are you sure ?" asked Tohru, wiping her tears. Hatori nodded his head, a tiny smile forming on his lips "Now go back to sleep, okay, were going to see Haru later today." said Shigure, as Tohru leaned back onto her pillow, her eye lids heavy. Tohru nodded, a faint smile crossing her face, before her eyes closed and darkness once again, eneveloped her.
