Chapter 4:
The rest of the week passed quickly. Tohru avoided the cafeteria, the library, anywhere that she guessed Yuki would be. The rest of the female population also stopped laughing at her, she just got the occasional snigger. Tohru didn't care anymore. She was so tired of all this. She even got frustrated at Uo and Hana; she wasn't a small kid anymore! She wouldn't break into a million pieces of she got rejected! What did they think she was, a small child? She was older than them, even if it was just by a few months. But she knew they were just concerned, so she didn't tell them off. She never did see Kyo for the rest of the week, she didn't tell Uo and Hana about her weird encounter with him either, just in case they thought she was raped or something. She arrived at school on Friday; she definitely was glad that tomorrow was Saturday. The day passed quickly too. She saw Kyo, be he didn't acknowledge her. He slept behind her again during classes and was nowhere to be found once class ended. Tohru too, was glad that school was over. She rushed off to her work, and after that back home to her grandfather. She flopped on her bed, and fell asleep instantly.
'Riiiiiing' The alarm clock merrily shrilled, 'riiiiiiiiiii-bang!' It disintegrated into a few large chunks. A large figure could be seen under the blanket, tufts of orange hair contrasting with the black of the sheets. "Kyo? Are you awake yet? It's a nice Saturday morning, you don't wanna stay in bed to whole day do you?" Kazuma shouted from the stairs. Kyo moaned and went back to sleep.
An hour later, ruby red eyes peeked open. Kyo slowly rubbed the sleep out of them and checked the time, only to find that some evil alarm-clock hater had dismantled his, much to his dismay. He checked the clock on his hand phone, 11.59am. He went to his closet and put on his shirt, then clomped down the stairs, stomach growling. Brush, much?
After getting breakfast/lunch, he sank down on the couch. He finished his food while flipping through the channels and was about to head back upstairs, when the phone rang. It was the guy from the guitar shop, "Yo, Kyo, some band's looking for a guitarist and asked me if I knew any. I thought of you, so you wanna join or what?" Kyo blinked, he had played in a band before, he played lead and sang, but when he left for Japan, he left his band. "Uhh… yeah, I guess I could." It might give him something to do, and he missed playing in a band. "Alright. Good, auditions today at 2. Here, 'kay? Good luck dude. Bye." The phone line went dead. Kyo checked the time again, 1.15! Whaaat! He hadn't showered yet! He took a quick shower, grabbed his darling guitar and shot out of the house. Where Kazuma was, he didn't know.
Tohru was already awake for the most of the morning. She had mopped the floor, cleaned the toilets, and was about to make lunch when she remembered that she had ran out of soy sauce. She grabbed her pursed and headed for the supermarket at the mall.
When Kyo reached the mall, it was 1.50. He had made it there in record time. He was thinking about the auditions when someone slammed into him. He blinked and saw a female sprawled on the floor. "Sorry, sorry, sorry! I wasn't watching where I was going!" It was Tohru, closing her eyes, as if anticipating a hit. "Yeah, it's okay. You in a rush or what?" Kyo asked. Tohru's eyes ventured open, "Sohma-san! I'm so sorry I hit you!" She looked at his guitar bag slinged over his shoulder. "Ah! You going for violin lessons?" Tohru asked. Kyo stared at her questioningly. "It's a guitar." He replied. "Oh." Tohru blushed, that was so embarrassing! "I'm going for an audition." He stated. "For your guitar?" Tohru was confused. "I'm going to audition for a band." Kyo said, slowly, in case she didn't understand. "Ohhh…" now she got it. "That's so cool! I never knew anyone who played in a band before! That would be so fun!"
"Uhh, I haven't got in yet. I'm only auditioning." Kyo said. "Oh. But I'm sure you'll do well!" Tohru grinned. "Uhh, yeah. Well I gotta go, I'm gonna be late. Bye." "Okay! Good luck!" Kyo stalked off. She was so weird. He headed off to the studio.
A/N: Chapter 4 for ya! Thanks again for the wonderful reviews! Oh how my heart swelled as I read your encouraging comments! R and R please! I'll try to put up chapter 5 soon. I'm halfway done with it. Sorry if this chapter is a little short. I'll make up for it in the other chapter.
