Two days after everyone got together for lunch

Yuki was still pondering on what exactly mimiru and Hallie were hiding…he hadn't really put any thought of it since he had talked to her last. As he sat there lying on his bed he went into a flashback of what had happened that day…

-Begin flashback-

"Yesterday I overheard you and Hallie talking about something…" Yuki kept talking about what he heard and told them he wanted to find out more. Mimiru explained some things but not enough for them to know anything.

"From what yuki has told me you might have a lot in common with both yuki and me…" Shigure looked at Hallie. There was fear in her eyes. He then turned his brown eyes over to mimiru. He noticed he hadn't looked at any of them once. She kept looking at the floor and only the floor.

Mimiru looked up from the floor and at them both "There is nothing wrong with me and my sister. I am tired of hiding, and I am tired of running. Whatever you are heard, forget about it there is nothing important about it that concerns you. So I suggest you forget about it. Now if you don't mind me and my sister need to get ready to go to the movies." Mimiru stood up and showed them to the door. Hallie looked at her with shocked eyes. She had never seen her sister like that before. She wondered what could have made her act like that.

"Well, I was just somewhat worried about you that's all…come on Shigure, Tohru should be done with lunch by now…" and with that the two men left. In a matter of minutes they could no longer be seen and they all left it at that.

-end flashback-

"If only I knew more" He sighed and looked up at his ceiling recognizing the sent of rice cooking, along with the smell of beef and sesame. "Miss Honda must be making sesame beef and rice tonight…" He was talking to himself. But he still couldn't get his mind off of mimiru. Why? Why did he keep thinking about her?

Kyo really hadn't been seen much all day except when he came in to get a bite to eat. It seemed like he had been trying to avoid Tohru all day, but why was he avoiding her? "Tohru have you seen Kyo anywhere? I was suppose to take him to the main house today, but the cat has run off again, I fear he isn't to happy with me." Shigure had been looking everywhere for him. EVEN THE ROOF! But he was nowhere to be found

"No…but I feel like he is avoiding me today." There was a tear in Tohru's eye. Hardly visible but it was there. She looked at the floor in front of her. The next thing she knew it Shigure was patting her shoulder, trying to comfort her.

"My poor little flower did the mean kitty step on you?" he was putting it all metaphorical, something you would more than likely see in a book. Tohru didn't take much liking to it, but she put up with it.

"IM NOT AVOIDING ANYONE!" Kyo came in form the front door. He was covered in snow, well his hair was at least. He held a present in his hand. But Tohru didn't notice it. He looked at Shigure with anger in his eyes, "Hey Shigure, WHY DON'T YOU GET AWAYS FROM TOHRU!" He yelled again and almost dropped the present. Tohru looked at him, and started to cry.

'It must be something I said' she didn't know if it was her or something else. He didn't usually get this mad anymore, unless someone did something very foolish.

"No Tohru, please don't cry!" Kyo looked at her trying to make her stop crying because for one thing he hated tears and he had remembered Tohru's birthday was coming up. And he didn't want to see her so upset when the clock struck 12. "It's…it's not you Tohru. I've been out all day, trying to figure out what to get you for your birthday."

"My birthday? OH MY GOSH! I FORGOT MY OWN BIRTHDAY!" Tohru had been so busy she forgot her birthday was tomorrow. Kyo was going to have not one, not two, but three surprises for her.

Yuki had come downstairs just into to here Tohru talking about her birthday. "So Tohru, you're birthday is tomorrow? I'll be sure to stay here then" Yuki smiled. It wasn't his normal school smile, but his real smile.

The day flew by like nothing, the night went by like a tornado. It was all over so fast, it didn't even seem like it had even started. By the time everyone knew it the day had come and gone, and it was finally Tohru's birthday.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" Shigure sang it out loud for the entire world to hear. "OUR LITTLE TOHRU IS FINALLY 17!" Shigure had tears falling down his cheeks. He was so happy, but for Tohru, her birthday was one to be excited about.

"umm, well I guess we are off to school now" She as well and The Sohma boys sweat drop was enough of an answer that Shigure was overdoing it just a bit.

"Ok, have fun, don't get into trouble! And most of all…HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" Shigure waved his hand back and forth, high in the air. The three just kept walking, didn't even want to look back.

School

At school it was the same. "Our little Tohru Kun is seventeen!" Uo and Hana cried out. They were happy, but sad at the same time. The fact that Tohru was getting older was overwhelming and happy and sad all at the same time.

"Birthday? Whose birthday is it?" Hallie asked. Mimiru had walked into the room behind her. She looked really upset. Her face said everything for her. She looked at Tohru and smiled. "Yuki, can I talk to you for a second" Hallie looked at Yuki with stern eyes. Something was wrong and Yuki knew it.

"Cer…tainly…" both Hallie and Yuki walked not far form the group and began to talk about something of the uttermost importance.

"Ever since you left, mimiru hasn't said a word. She has looked so sad. I don't know what's wrong. I tried to catch you to talk for the past two days, but I couldn't find you. I want you to talk to her" Hallie knew this would be pressure on both Yuki and mimiru, but it had to be done.

"Alright, I'll talk to her." He sighed and walked over to mimiru. "Miss Mimiru, ay I speak with you?" He looked at her. Her eyes didn't have much color, and her face was a white as a sheep. She nodded and they went over to another corner of the room to speak to each other.

"Hallie has told me you haven't been talking ever since I left. Is everything ok?" Yuki looked at her. She looked like she hadn't slept in forever. Mimiru had tears strolling down her face. She was so sad.

"Its…nothing…" mimiru spoke so softly, she could barely be heard. Yuki barely even heard her. "But…it is…something" she added to it. She grabbed yuki's arm and took him out in the hall. She wanted no one to hear. "I lied to you, the other day…I hide something terrible inside me…I am afraid that if…anyone sees me like that, they will…hurt me worse than I have already been."

Yuki looked at her. She was hurting so badly inside. "Whatever it is, you can tell me, I won't run" Yuki looked in her eyes, even though they were hardly visible. "I'm your friend, and no matter what, that won't change anything"

Mimiru looked at him. How could someone so kind know something that hurt her so badly? "I…I'm not a human." Mimiru broke into tears. Yuki knelt down beside her, "What do you mean you're not human?" Yuki looked at her. "I mean…I'm a wolf. That's what I am, a wolf! I can't get angry at anyone. After you left, I transformed into a wolf, and that's only the first phase! If I stay in one phase for two long I keep changing. I know this because of a memory I had a few days ago. My sister doesn't know it yet, she hasn't had that memory. That's why I wouldn't talk to her, because of that memory."

Yuki looked at her with shocked eyes. She wasn't just an animal, but she was many animals of the same type. "You're going to run now aren't you?" Mimiru looked at him with questioning. She wanted to find one person who wouldn't run from her.

"No. I'm not going to run. I'm glad" Yuki smiled. He was happy mimiru told him. "I'm glad that you told me. You aren't the only one out there, more than likely there are more like you" He stood up bringing her along with him. After they talked for a few more minutes, mimiru wiped the tears from her eyes and headed back into the room.

As they went back into the room, a stranger walked out from the corner of the hallway that connected to it. He had blond hair, and it was tied at the bottom of his hair roots, in a ponytail, but short. His blue eyes looked on the two, as they walked back into the room. A teacher walked up behind them. "Are you Atashi?" she asked.

"Yeah, what of it?" He looked at the teacher, who was now apparently dragging him into the classroom. "Alight everyone take your seats, not you!" she pointed to atashi to stay up at the front of the room, while everyone else took their seats. "This is Atashi…umm what's your last name?" she looked at him, wanting an answer.

"My last name is none of your business!" he glared. Mimiru looked at him. Where had she seen him before. Atashi looked at mimiru, who was looking right at him. He blushed then looked away. 'It's been so long, since we last saw each other, my dead mimiru.'

"Ok, fine, whatever, just…take your seat next to mimiru" The teacher sat down and made sure Atashi took his seat. He was sitting right next to mimiru. Yeah, yeah I know, get to Tohru and Kyo, I'm getting there!

The last bell rang, but before Atashi could even speak to mimiru, she and Yuki had left. He had followed her all over the place because Yuki was showing her around a few other rooms that not everyone got to see, until he lost them. He left not even thinking of waiting outside.

After school ended the gang met again, except for mimiru and Yuki. Before they got back to the gang, Minami and Mokoto had stopped them in their tracks. "YOU! NEW GIRL! WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH PRINCE YUKI! DIDN'T YOU HEAR! ONLY PEOPLE IN THE YUKI FAN CLUB CAN TALK WITH THE PRINCE!" Minami yelled at her with an evil face.

"Who says?" Mimiru looked at her, then kept walking "come on Yuki, we are going to be late to meet up at your house with Tohru and Kyo." Yuki had earlier invited her over for dinner along with Hallie. "We don't have time to put up with these losers"

Yuki looked at her from afar with confused eyes. "Um…ok, nice seeing you Miss Minami and Miss Mokoto." Yuki bowed his head to them, and then ran to catch up with mimiru.

"Ahhh, he is so dreamy….wait a minute! Meet up with Tohru and Kyo…AT HIS HOUSE!" Mokoto and Minami looked at each other then screamed. "THIS CALLS FOR DRASTIC MEASURES!" they soon made a plot to sneak into yuki's house and watch them for a few hours. The last thing they would let go is Tohru being at the prince's house

As soon as Minami and Mokoto found Yuki's house, they both noticed Tohru cooking in the kitchen (through a window) "Why is that witch cooking for prince yuki!" They both looked at each other with anger in their eyes. "Why would my dear, uh, I mean our dear yuki, allow such a tainted witch to cook for him?" Mokoto almost broke down in tears at the horrible site.

That was it; a line had been crossed in both of them. Mokoto and Minami got closer and closer to the door of the house, till finally they were right on it.

Shigure was gone, leaving the two girls to sneak in. Minami slid the door open quietly and slowly. Not even Kyo could hear it. Then Mokoto and Minami made their way into the house, shutting the door behind them. They looked at each other, with stars in their eyes, "We're in Prince Yuki's royal palace!" They whispered to each other this at the same time. After noticing Kyo was also near the kitchen, they hind behind the curtains in the dinner room and waited. "Perfect" Mokoto and Miami both watched the doors that were connected to the dinner room.

The Kitchen

Kyo was helping Tohru make dinner, TakaeYami wasn't entirely too hard for even him to make. I made that entire food thing up! Yuki, mimiru, Hana, Uo, and Hallie were all in the other room wrapping presents for Tohru. "Dinner's ready!" Tohru called them all down while setting everything on the table with Kyo. Not long after Kyo and Tohru sat down, did the others follow. "It smells delicious!" Hallie had just commented Tohru on her cooking and all she could do was blush.

There was a sudden silence in the room for a minute or two, but it was interrupted by Shigure who had just opened the door, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY LITTLE FLOWER!" He sang as he walked into the room, followed by Haru and Momiji. They had all been out present shopping for Tohru.

Minami and Mokoto almost screamed, but clamped their mouths shut before they could. Shigure had scared the ghosts out of them both, and it wasn't any surprise.

Dinner ended not long after. "I'll be right back, and with a surprise to!" Shigure got up and tiptoed to the kitchen. He rummaged around for about four minutes then turned the lights out to the dinner room. But Mokoto and Minami could still see. Shigure came back out with a large cake singing happy birthday. Followed by him was everyone else, and they were all signing even Hana and Kyo!

Minami and Mokoto glared at Tohru from afar. Why did she get all this special treatment? Mokoto thought to herself, 'Yuki should be mine! Not hers! Only so few of times have I even talked to the prince! And after this spring, I'll hardly even see him! Why? Why does it have to end like this?' Mokoto was about ready to go up to Tohru and punch her as hard as possible, but Minami had stopped her. "Mokoto, it's alright for now! WE will get her back tomorrow! Then she'll regret ever meeting Yuki!" Minami whisper this to her, She grinned evilly as she plotted, and still she kept watching.

"Tohru, after everyone goes to bed, meet me on the roof, for another present." Kyo whispered in Tohru's ear, and then went into a dark room to get her presets. Moment passed and soon he came back with at least fifteen boxes in his hand.

Tohru picked a present out of the pile. It was wrapped in light pink paper and toped with a pretty silver bow. She read the tag, "To Tohru, From Yuki." She opened the box and found a golden locket with her mother's picture on one side, and a picture of them together during summer vacation. She looked at Yuki and smiled, "Thank you, Yuki!" she closed the box back and set it on the table next to her. "I won't put it on now, I'm afraid I might loose it!" She didn't want Yuki to think she didn't like it.

She took another present form the pile. It was a fairly sized box with Orange paper and a Red bow, but it had no tag. 'This one's from Kyo!' Tohru immediately knew it was from Kyo. She opened the box up, and it was covered in tissue paper.

She started rummaging through the paper, but before she could find anything, Minami screamed, and then clamped her mouth shut, hoping they didn't hear. Everyone looked up. Mimiru looked right at the curtains, her face was emotionless. "We have visitors." She got up form her seat and walked over to the curtains. Both Mokoto and Minami were so scared, they couldn't help but shake!

Mimiru knelt down, put her hands on the curtains and pulled to see…
