Chapter 6
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------
It's me again and.. sorry for the long introduction. But I have lots to say now so please lend me your eyes 0-0.
First of all, I just felt so pathetic. Why? I'm a Yuki Sohma fan. And last chapter, I just made Kyou very lucky instead of Yuki. My friend read my fic and told me that this fic is turning to a romantic Kyou-Tohru instead of Yuki-Tohru-Kyou fic. Now tell me, it is unusual for a Yuki fan to make a romantic Kyou-Tohru fic, right? Don't answer yet so you'll be the judge.
Next, many people asked me why the curse isn't working. Well, to tell you the truth, I haven't thought of that before. In the Philippines, during a Filipino class, I kept on thinking what would happen once the curse disappears AND the reason why it disappears. I don't really have a very good imagination. So I need you guys. Tell me what's on your mind. The best answer I can get will..uh.. be posted on the next chapter.
I would like to thank everyone for your good comments that made me go this far. Arigato Gozaimasu!
I added some characters for the next chapter mainly Ayame, Hatori, Kisa and Hiro. Nothing much but I have a great idea for Ayame. Just read this chapter if you want to know.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------
"Tohru-kun? What's our dinner?" Shigure asked.
"Shigure, why are you sometimes annoying? You asked that question for the 5th time!" Momiji asked. Shigure thought for a while and answered completely.
"Momiji-chan, I, Sohma Shigure, am a very hardworking novelist. After so many hours of concentration in a closed spaced room, my brain no longer can manipulate ideas for my masterpiece. So to regenerate more brain cells, a novelist's award should be the right amount of energy that my body needs. For short," Shigure said. "I'm VERY hungry, Momiji.."
"What can we do? Tohru is in deep thought now. I can't disturb her."
"Ohayo." Yuki greeted as he entered the house. "How's Tohru?"
"Yuki, I'm hungry... Let's go to some restaurant and but some food.." Shigure pleaded.
"Shigure, we can't just leave Tohru like this. Also, I have some work to do.." Yuki replied. "Momiji, did she ate the food?" Momiji shook his head. "I see, I'll deliver some food to her myself."
"Yuki.." Just then, Ayame came in. "Ohayo!"
"Ayame-san! Can you come with me and buy some dimsum????" Shigure asked.
"Hai. To tell you the truth, I'm really getting hungry now. Bye, little brother! I'll see you later!" He winked at him, which disgusts Yuki.
"Get out, PEST!" Yuki demanded. Then Shigure and Ayame left while talking about some adult stuff. Then Hatori came in with Hatsuharu behind him. "Hari-san, what are you-" Yuki started.
"Hi. Is Tohru okay?"he asked. "Hatsuharu told me that she was having a very 'disturbing' problem." He stared at Yuki whose face was deep and hard to explain. "Are you okay? Do you have problems on your own?"
"Nothing." He turned his back and went inside the kitchen to get some food for Tohru.
"What's wrong with him?" Haru asked Momiji but he didn't answer back. "Is it because of Tohru?"
"maybe... maybe because of what Kyou-kun did to her." Then he left as well.
"Sometimes, I don't know what happened in this house." Hatori said. " But now I know that.. without Tohru, this house would be lifeless."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------
"Shigure.. I feel so sorry to my brother." He said quietly but the restaurant was too noisy and. *ahem* one third of the noise came from Shigure.
"EY, BUD, I WANT ANOTHER ROUND! THE NOVELIST NEEDS TO REGENERATE HIS INTELLECTUAL ABILITIES SO KEEP IT GOING!!!!!!" Shigure shouted. Little did he knew that creating this much noise can result to a lot of trouble.
"Shut up, will ya?"
"Yeah! Would you just shut up for a while??????"
"shut up... SHUT UP!?!?! What are you thinking? Don't you even know who I am??? I am Sohma Shigure, the greatest novelist of today's time! Soon, you will all respect me and bow down to me as slaves! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! SLAVES!!!!!!" Shigure boasted as he stood up on his table and swayed his hand like a madman, pointing at every customer.
'Shigure. what is happening to you.' Ayame thought to himself.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------
"KYOU-KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNN!" the boar shouted as she scanned every tree in the woods if there's a sign of her "one and only love". But she had been searching for hours and she was very tired. "When I get my hands on that cat, I will... I will..." Then her eyes caught up to something.
She saw a strange figure by the pond. She came closer to see and she saw Tohru, cooling herself.
Tohru turned around to reach out her clothes but she unexpectedly saw Kagura with her head poking out of the bushes. "AHHHH! Ka------kagura- san.." she finally said calmly.
"Sorry to scare you, Tohru.um. can I join you?" she asked.
"Ah..hai..." Kagura then undresses and soaked her body in the pond. "ahhh, this pond is so cold.."
"Hai. After some chores, I stop by here to cool myself. Usually, Yuki-kun also stops by to drink some water after his gardening. And besides, Hatori- san said I needed a break so----" She said cheerfully and she caught a curious stare from Kagura. "Ne?"
"First, Kyou-kun, now, Yuki-kun. Well, well, how can you know this much from both of them?"
"Ka---kagura-san! What are you talking about? They are my friends and it's natural for me to know about them." She abruptly spoke out loud. Kagura giggled silently as she sprinkled some water to Tohru, teasing her.
"You can't just take both of them at the same time! We already had a competition between Kyou, now you're backing out because of Yuki?! What are you, a sore loser?" She teased. Tohru got a sense of the name again. KYOU.
'I want you to remember me like this' Those were the soft spoken words she had heard from him. It kept twirling in her mind. Why is she thinking like this? Did she loved him at that time? Or did she shouted for Yuki's help to get rid of him from what he is doing?
"Tohru-kun." Kagura waved her hand in front of Tohru's face, waking her up. "Ne, You're dreaming while you are awake. What's wrong with you?"
"Kagura-san.."
"It is Kyou-kun again, ne?" she asked. " If he does something to you again, tell me and I will do the payback for you."
"Kagura-san." she sweatdrops.
"Besides, hurting Kyou badly makes me happy. It is a sign of a affection to hurt somebody like that." Both of them giggled silently.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------
"Oe!" Hatsuharu greeted Yuki that night with Shigure and Ayame behind him. "What happened to them?" Yuki asked.
"A restaurant kicked them out after Shigure played a little 'trick' with the waitresses." He explained and Shigure butted in. "They're so many! But I could snatch one and take her home with me. She can be served as my 'INSPIRATION' in my novels." He boasted once more.
"I would say a 'MODEL' for your 'EXPERIMENT' rather than inspiration, Shigure." Hatori said. "Also, your editor called. She said she needs the other 175 pages first thing in the morning."
"Wha.. the burden.. why does it have to be me???" Shigure cried out loud.
"I have to go now. I had some work to do. Ayame, you can hitch a ride for a way back home." Hatori said. "Wait, I have to say something to Yuki." Ayame said.
"Say your farewells in a short sentence, quickly!" Yuki unpatiently said.
"Yuki-----"
"Okay, that's enough. Bye now! Leave!" Yuki said.
"How come you hated me this much???" Ayame asked. Yuki leaned against the wall, showing that he's uninterested on what Ayame is about to say. "Okay, go on. I'm listening."
"I know that you also notice that Tohru is..well. 'breaking down' after what Kyou 'did' to her, am I right?" Yuki showed no reaction. ".Okay, anyway, we are all counting on you to cheer her up for this once."
"What? What are you talking about? She already had Kyou. There's no room for me anymore." Yuki answered desperately. Soon, Momiji, Hatsuharu and Shigure were listening. Ayame shook his head.
"She might have no more space for you inside but take a look around. Kyou is nowhere to be seen. He left after he 'did something' to her. She ALL ALONE NOW." he said out loud. Yuki grinned at him. "This maybe will be the first and the last time that I will take one of your stupid advices."
"Believe me, it's for your own good." He said naturally. He twirled around and followed Hatori towards his car.
"Guys.. can you help me.. with this?" he asked. All of them nodded. "Let's make.. Tohru happy again." He looked at opened door Ayame went through and her smiled.
Arigato..Onii-chan...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------
"Aachoo!" Tohru sneezed.
"Tohru-kun, we need to get back. It's really getting dark and.. Yuki might be worried about you." Kagura suggested and Tohru nodded. "Hai, besides, I'm getting cold too."
They both went home silently.. and when they came home, Momiji welcomed them. "Aah, Kagura-san, can you help me with the laundry?"
"A. Momiji-san, I'll be doing the laundry---" Tohru began but she felt a cold hand on her shoulder. It was Hatsuharu, but not in the black form. "It's alright, Tohru-kun. Why won't you go up to your room and rest. We'll be doing all your chores for tonight, okay?"
What's going on? She asked herself. Their looks looked normal. They don't sound like they were pretending or joking. So she nodded and did what they said.
"How come she gets to rest and I don't???" Kagura asked.
"We have a surprise for Tohru upstairs." Shigure came in before Momiji can answer.
"Now how come she gets------ a surprise? Is it her birthday?"
"No....but you will see soon." Shigure said and turned to Haru. "Are you sure that it's fine with you?"
Hatsuharu grinned. "As long as it pleases Yuki, I can accept it anyway." This made Kagura confused. To please Yuki?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------
Tohru went to her room. She was very tired. She just cooled herself down from the pond but still she felt that she's breaking down or something. 'I'm alright' she said to herself. "I shouldn't make others worry about me." Then she opened her bedroom door.
She saw something that she wasn't really expecting.
Candles..everywhere..in her room..
'Osaka, someone placed a lot of candles on my room' She was amazed by how much candles there is. All gave a blazing fire to light up her room. She had seen this once on one of the churches near their school. But it was lit for a specific reason. Why is it?
"Does this surprise you?" Yuki said. Tohru turned around and Yuki was there sitting on her bed. She was slightly blushing. 'Did Yuki do this..for me?'
"What's the occasion?" she asked. Yuki giggled a bit. "Honda-san, you are sometimes funny you know that?"
"Ne?" She couldn't understand why this is happening. Yuki came closer to her and touched her cheek. She was surprised because it was a warm touch. Usually, Yuki's hands were cold. But it was different on that night.
"Honda-san. It's been days since I was this close to you." Yuki began. "Demo, I felt like I'm losing something.. after that baka neko did something suspicious to you."
"What is it, Sohma-kun?" she asked innocently.
"Honda-san.. I lost.. someone. in my life." Then he suddenly hugged her tightly. Tohru was blushing visibly, knowing that Yuki meant something. He needs attention.
"Sohma-kun.."
"Honda-san..I. I have a confession to make." He breath slowly and whispered on her ear. "I. Love you, Tohru-kun." She was tensed. For the first time, Yuki called her like that. It's not very ordinary because in between those letters was the love he desired to give her before Kyou does.
"If ever that Baka Neko did something to you, hurt your feelings or even made you cry, I swear I won't forgive him. I won't let him do that to you.. ever again.." He said softly. "Please remember this.. I'm the Yuki you know as the high school prince, popular and cold sometimes. But still I have a reason to love.. a person like you, Tohru-kun. I want you to remember me like this.. as long as we're together."
'Osaka, Kyou-kun and Sohma-kun..they both have the same desire. They want me to know that they care for me this much..' Tears fell from her eyes. 'But. I don't know.. when the time comes... if I had to chose. one of them."
He body began to collapse and she was half conscious. Yuki felt her weight getting heavy and soon, all of her weight were in Yuki's arms. "Honda- san..HONDA-SAN!!!!!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------
HEHEHEHEHE. was it great or what? So Yuki got his part also and.. I left you hanging there (hehehehehe..) You'll get to know why Tohru collapsed on Yuki's arms. Please R&R!!!!
