Chapter 6: Train
Yuki waited patiently for Tohru to come downstairs. He could hear her fussing upstairs. Yuki smiled to himself. Kyo walked past him and said, "What are you doing?"
Yuki looked up at the cat, "I'm waiting for Tohru… we're going out for the day."
Kyo nodded his head. The two boys sat in silence for a while in the kitchen.
"Did you talk to Kagura?" Yuki asked.
"Why are you asking?"
"Isn't that what you did when you got off the roof last night?"
"How did you-?… Yes, I talked to her."
"And…?"
"What do you want to know?"
"Nevermind… why do you always have to be so stubborn?" Yuki got up to leave.
"Yuki… I am happy." Kyo said. Yuki looked at the carrot top for a second, with a blank stare. After a few seconds Yuki understood. Kyo finally saw Kagura not as just a pest, but as something more. Yuki could've sworn that a smile crept across Kyo's face.
"I'm glad." Yuki replied, returning his smile. Kyo left the kitchen to go sit on the roof, like he always did.
Tohru finished getting ready by putting on her shoes. She walked over to the mirror and took one last look at herself. She had decided to put on a plain pink top with spaghetti straps with a white skirt. After running a brush through her brown hair, she went downstairs to go meet with Yuki.
Yuki heard someone walking around upstairs and looked towards the stairs. Tohru walked downstairs gracefully and stopped at the bottom step where Yuki was waiting for her.
"Are you ready?" Yuki asked. Tohru nodded her head.
"What about breakfast? I should probably make it for Kyo and Shigure, and while I'm making theirs I could make ours too." Tohru said in a hurry.
"Don't worry about them." Yuki said taking Tohru's hand. Tohru felt guilty about leaving without making anyone breakfast, but as soon as the prince took her hand, her heart melted. She still got butterflies in her stomach whenever the two of them got near each other. As their fingers laced together they left the house.
"I need two tickets for the train going downtown please." Yuki said as they walked up to the ticket booth at the train station.
"Will you need it round trip or one way?" the clerk asked.
"Round trip please."
"Okay, your total is-"
"Just charge it." Yuki said, cutting her off.
"Okay sir."
"Did you take Shigure's credit card again?" Tohru asked with a giggle.
"Well… yes. It was just in case of an emergency!" Yuki said blushing.
"Maybe we shouldn't use this anymore today unless we absolutely have to." Tohru suggested.
"You're probably right…" Yuki said, taking back the card the clerk was handing to him.
"Your train leaves within the next 10 minutes. I suggest you take your seats immediately." The clerk said.
"Thank you." Yuki said grabbing Tohru's hand. Tohru gave the clerk a smile and followed Yuki who was already headed for the train.
Their seats were all the way in the back of the train. The cars on the train were only big enough to fit four people. There was only one other couple in that car, so they didn't have trouble finding their seats. When Yuki sat down he noticed the couple staring at them. The man looked up from his paper and nudged his wife, and she too looked up. Yuki tried not to pay any attention to them but the were so annoying.
"Look at them…" the man whispered to his wife, thinking he couldn't be heard.
"What about them dear?" the woman asked back.
"They must be in love, but they are way too young!"
"Oh, pish posh! There isn't an age on love!" Yuki wanted to thank the woman but he refrained. Just to prove a point, Yuki grabbed Tohru's hand and gave it a slight squeeze. He felt Tohru's hand squeeze his back. The woman went back to knitting and the man reluctantly went back to reading his paper.
"Tohru… did you notice that those people were staring at us?" Yuki asked, making sure that he didn't make himself heard.
"No I didn't… are you sure they were looking at us?"
"I'm positive." The train worker walked into their car asking for everyone's tickets. Yuki handed him both of their tickets, to which the worker nodded in approval. The man that was sitting across from them handed him their tickets also.
"Excuse me sir… but you and your wife are sitting in the wrong seats." The worker said.
"Excuse me?" the man replied.
"You ticket says that you have train car number 27 seats 5 & 6. You are in car 26 seats 5 & 6." The woman looked at the seat number she was in and then looked at the train number which was listed above the door. Realizing their mistake she quickly apologized. Grabbing her stuff, she took her husband's arm and led him out of the car. Tipping his hat, the worker closed the door to the car and left Yuki and Tohru to a now empty car.
The train let out 2 long whistles and it left the station.
Tohru looked around at the once full car.
"You don't suppose that there are going to be any more people coming on this car do you?"
"I don't' think so, I mean we've already left the station."
"So we have a car all to ourselves?" Tohru asked.
"Yep…" Yuki started. Tohru turned to face him and looked him straight in the eyes.
"We're going to have so much fun today." Tohru stated.
"I would've had fun even if it was just you and me in a desert, as long as I'm with you… I will always be okay." Tohru loved the way Yuki talked to her. Her stomach did a summersault and she felt the butterflies again.
Yuki moved the hair that was now covering Tohru's eyes. His fingertips gently swept across her cheeks sending a chill down her spine. Her skin was so soft and flawless.
Putting her hands around his neck, they both knew what was coming. Yuki leaned in to kiss Tohru, who let herself be kissed. There was a knock on the train car's door so their kiss had to be shortened.
"It's open!" Tohru exclaimed. In walked the stewardess with a cart full of snacks.
"Did you two want anything?" she asked. Yuki looked at Tohru looking for an answer.
"I don't want anything." Tohru said.
"No thanks." Yuki added. The stewardess smiled and left the car. Yuki looked at Tohru and started to giggle.
"What's wrong? What did I do?" Tohru asked.
"Nothing… it just seems that today, everyone is trying to get in our business, first that couple and now that lady!"
"What are you planning on doing about it?"
"Well first, we could get back to where we left off…" Yuki pulled Tohru in for another kiss. Yuki's tongue was familiar with Tohru's mouth by now, but there was always something knew that he found out about her every time they kissed. Which was okay, because he wanted to know everything about her. Each time they kissed each other, Tohru got less and less tense, meaning she was getting more and more comfortable with Yuki.
Yuki moved her arms around Tohru's waist, to let him feel the warmth of her body against his. When he did, Yuki felt a slight tingle throughout his body, an oh-too-familiar tingle.
"Yuki!" was all Tohru could manage to say before he turned into a little rat. A cloud of white smoke filled the train car. When it cleared, Yuki the rat was sitting on the edge of his seat. Tohru picked him up and held him in the palm of her hand.
"Why did you do that? You knew you were going to transform!" Tohru said, a smile ran across her face.
"I needed that. Besides, I was kinda hoping that this time would be different, that I didn't have to transform and be a stupid little rat."
"You may be a little rat, but you're not stupid. But whatever you want to call yourself, I still fell in love with you."
"Even the rat?" Yuki asked.
"Even the rat." Tohru replied. Yuki felt the same tingle again, he was changing back into his human form.
"Tohru… I'm going to change back…I need you to make sure that no one comes in here!" Tohru nodded and quickly got up and blocked the door. There was a small little window that had a curtain in which you could cover it up if needed. Tohru just kept a look out to make sure that nobody would want to come in here.
A cloud of white smoke once again engulfed the room, making it harder for Tohru to see out the window. She heard Yuki searching around for his clothes. After about a minute, Yuki was fully clothed.
An announcement came over the loud speaker, "Attention riders! In another ten minutes we will be arriving at out destination. Thank you for riding!"
"How long has it been since we've been on this train?" Tohru asked. Yuki looked down at his watch.
"We've been on here for about 45-50 minutes." Yuki replied.
"Has it really almost been an hour since we left our house?"
"I guess so…"
"Look Yuki! I can see downtown from here!" Tohru exclaimed as she went over to the window and gazed outside. Yuki smiled and looked at his beloved Tohru.
"It's as if you've never seen the city before…," Yuki said.
"Well of course I've been to the city! Well, not since my mom died…" Tohru's voice trailed off. Yuki realized his mistake and quickly went to Tohru's side to comfort her.
"I'm sorry Tohru… I didn't realize it!" Yuki said trying to cover his mistake.
"How could you have possibly realized? You wouldn't have known… don't worry about it… I'm actually looking forward to going to see the city again. It's really been so long." Tohru wiped away the tears that were forming in her eyes. Tohru thought of the picture of her mom that was tucked away in her purse. 'I hope you can forgive me mom…' Tohru found herself thinking to herself as the city grew nearer and nearer.
Yuki felt really bad for touching a sensitive spot in Tohru's memories. He couldn't believe that he did such a stupid thing. He was going to make it up to her today while they were downtown.
"Don't cry…," Yuki said wiping off the new tears that were beginning to form in her eyes.
"I'm not crying!" Tohru said, frantically wiping off her face.
"You're too beautiful to cry, and when you do it makes me unhappy…" Yuki explained. Tohru was caught on his words… did he just say I was beautiful?
Tohru put a smile on her face and took Yuki's hand in hers.
"I love you so much Yuki."
"I love you too Tohru." The train began to slow down and another announcement came over the speakers.
"Attention riders! We have just arrived to our destination! Please remain seated until we have entered the station, thank you and enjoy the rest of your day!"
Yuki and Tohru got off the train, their fingers intertwined.
"Where are we going to go first?" Tohru asked excitedly as they walked toward the main street.
"What ever you want to do."
