Chapter 2: The lies

'I don't understand. What did I do to deserve this? I don't understand.' Tohru thought through her tears, not noticing the pain. The physical pain, anyway.

'They don't want me near the Sohmas, especially Yuki. All I wanted to do was help, that's all. Why? Why do these things happen, I feel like…no-one…cares…'she thought, as, at last, she fell asleep, letting out some of her mental pain.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Sunshine shone through Tohru's window, rousing her from her uncomfortable sleep.

"Ow" she said, as she carefully raised herself, so as not to irritate her wounds.

She went over to the mirror, looking at her damages for the first time. Bruises, cuts, scratches, and what felt like a sprained wrist.

"This is terrible, I can't go downstairs looking like this, I don't want anyone to see me like this" she whispered to herself, as she put on her long sleeve uniform and jumper.

"There" she said happily.

She trotted, very carefully, downstairs, and went on as though nothing had happened.

Yuki tottered down the stairs, awake and hungry. He looked in the kitchen, and sure enough, Tohru was busy cooking.

"Good morning Ms. Honda" he said as he slowly walked over to her.

"Oh! Good morning Yuki, you're up early today, and you're fully awake! That's wonderful!" she said as she handed him a plate.

"Please enjoy!" Yuki sat down and began eating his breakfast.

Not long after, Kyo came down, and started eating also.

After breakfast, Tohru cleaned the dishes and packed her bag.

"Yo, you almost ready to go, we're gonna be late!" Kyo yelled, coming out harsher than he intended.

Tohru froze, remembering the previous day.

"Umm…please go on without me, I'll be a little while!" she said, her voice failing to sound cheerful.

"Are you sure? Is something wrong?" Kyo said, noticing her shaky voice.

"Yes, are you sure Ms. Honda?" Yuki enquired.

"Yes!" she yelled suddenly, tears coming to her eyes. "I'm fine!" she said, "Please just go…" she hated lying to them, they had opened up to her so much, and always took care of her. But she refused to be a burden.

Besides, what difference could possibly happen if they, or any of the Sohmas knew?

'I am an outsider, I'm trouble enough, it wouldn't affect anyone, I don't want to whinge to them…"

"Ok" they said in union.

"Bye"

"Bye Ms. Honda…"they walked out the door. Something was up, and they wanted to find out, 'And so would the rest of the family' Kyo thought.

Tohru arrived at school an hour late, wandering the halls.

She lifted her head up and saw Matoko walking towards her, a smirk on her face.

"Have a good sleep, Princess?" she asked sarcastically.

Tohru had a look on her face similar to a deer in headlights.

Matoko leaned in to Tohru's ear, "If you tell anyone what happened, we may repeat our little lesson from yesterday…" she said menacingly.

For a brief second, her stinging words reminded her of Akito. Matoko pulled back.

"Not that there is anyone for you to tell, orphan" she laughed as she walked of, flicking her hair.

Tohru stood there, staring at the floor.

A few moments passed, and she looked up, her eyes red and puffy, and yet they showed no emotion. Tohru walked to class, and as she reached for the doorknob, she thought to herself sadly, 'Well, that's just another memory to lock away…'

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

OKAY! So, what did you think? Poor Tohru, she has had to deal with so much, hasn't she?

Well, I hope you enjoyed that! PLEASE read and review!

BYE!

PS: I will also be doing a TohruxRitsu story soon, so look out for that!
