Sakura didn't cry.
She had never cried in her entire life.
Not even when she was born.
So when she heard the news that her daughter was dead, she stayed silent.
"I'm sorry, Sakura."
"No...it's..." Sakura looked down.
Tohru left.
"What have you called us HERE for Tohru?" Tohru's grandfather asked.
"Well...um...you see...it wasn't really me.." Tohru spluttered out.
"It was me." Sakura said sulkily as she came in.
"WHAT! What do you want?" A blonde spoke up.
The Drunk patrol joined in,"You disgrace!"
"Demon!"
"Traitor!"
Sakura felt that lonely, sunken feeling inside of her...but she always felt it.
"Akira is dead. I need some money to pay for her funeral." Sakura told them.
"PHHT! Like we would ever give money to you!"
"DISGUSTING BEGGAR!"
"DID YOU ALREADY GET BOOTED OFF THE NOODLE TRACK!"
"I don't have enough money, I just need to borrow some, I'll pay you back." Sakura said.
Slap!
"How dare you."
Sakura touched her burning cheek,"Please." She pleaded.
"HA! Has the demon finally figured out she deserves no life!"
"I-" Sakura walked away. She had to get ready for the funeral.
"Where's Natsu?" Momiji asked Tohru.
"She wasn't allowed to come."
"Oh...what about Sakura?"
"I-I'm not sure..." Tohru held tightly onto the boquet of little flowers in her hands.
"You okay?" Kyo knocked Tohru on the head. She shook her head, and started to cry. The workmen(?)were here to put the wooden coffin into the ground.
"Why didn't Sakura just take the money we offered?" Hiro leaned onto Kisa.
"She-She believes that it's stealing." Tohru stopped crying as she saw the black cap coming closer toward them.
Sakura was here.
"HEY! You Sakura?" One of the men stopped her from going to the coffin.
"Yes. I am. Is there a problem?" Sakura said, the wilted chrsyanthumum(?)clutched in her hand.
"Actually there is, me and Nay here," He pointed toward another man,"Were put on duty here to keep you away from this coffin."
"What! By who?" Sakura questioned, bewildered at the thought of never going near her own daughter's coffin.
"A Mr.Honda, I believe," The man answered.
"No. This is my daughter." Sakura tried to push her way through the two men, but they grabbed her by the arms and pushed her. Sakura fell to ground.
"HEY!" Tohru shouted at the man, coming up close to him.
"And what do you want you wench?" The man asked her.
"Leave her alone you moron!" Kyo stepped in front of Tohru.
"Yeah, who are you to say such a thing?" Yuki pushed the man aside, and then helped Sakura up.
Sakura broke free of Yuki's grasp and jumped onto the second-hand coffin.
She started to cry.
"I'm so sorry," Sakura whispered to her dead daughter,"I couldn't protect you. But I...I loved you so much, and yourfather was a wonderful man. If you can hear me then...then...don't regret any choices you've made in your life." Sakura closed her eyes, and cried even more. Snowflakes piled onto her back slowly, comforting her.
Tohru laid the boquet of flowers near the coffin, then turned around and walked away.
Kyo and Yuki watched her go. Then they gave eachother a look.
"TOHRU!" Kyo came out of the bushes, gasping for breath.
"EH! Kyo-Kun! N-NO! That is! You look exhausted!" Tohru wiped away a tear.
"No(GASP!)I'm fine!(WHEEZE)Yuki went in the other direction and(PANT)I'm just glad I found you." Kyo put an arm around Tohru's shoulder, and bet over, exhausted as ever.
"AH! Kyo! P-Please sit right there!" Tohru tried to make Kyo sit down, but he put his hands on her shoulders, his head bent, he really was tired, but finding Tohru before Yuki was the real treasure. He would break out some sweat over her, just as long as the damned rat wouldn't find her first.
"I'm fine..." Kyo held his head up, levering his face with hers.
"O-Okay! We should go back soon anyway," Tohru touched his face,"I think you may need a glass of water." She put a hand on his chin, and watched him. He was so cute.
Maybe Tohru wasn't as dense as everyone thought.
"Yeah, whatever." Kyo gave one of his famous half-smiles, and broke the closeness between them,"I wish I knew which way to go though..."
"Well. At least now we have some alone time together." Tohru tried to change the mood.
"What?" Kyo realized suddenly that he didn't have his sedatives with him,"Tohru. I'm really not in the mood for a joke." He didn't want to have a stroke and die in the middle of the woods with a crazy girl.
A crazy girl which he loved.
"It's not a joke," Tohru held her hands behind her back and neared him inch by inch.
"WHAT?" Kyo held Tohru just before she came TOO close,"Are you trying to kill me!"
"No. I'd like you to be alive. Suits me better." Tohru held on side of his face and kissed him...
...on the cheek...
"Wh-What?" Kyo had been kissed on the cheek by his mother. But never by anyone else.
"That's all you're getting today. Maybe a little more tomorrow." Tohru said seductively, and walked off through the woods,"By the way! All you have to do to get back is follow the yellow tags on the trees!"
Kyo stood there in the clearing, dazed.
Tohru...kissing people?
Tohru...saying things...seductively?
WHAT WAS THIS WORLD COMING TOO!
Kyo sighed, and started off, following the yellow trail markers.
"Hey, my people." Natsu yawned as the Sohma's trudged back into the house.
"HI NATSU!" Momiji smiled and was about to hug her, but Kyo caught him by the ear.
"Don't even think about it bunny-boy." Kyo grumbled.
Tohru just sat, and smiled.
A real smile.
Yes. This was true. Tohru had just truly smiled.
"What idiots." Yuki sat next to Tohru.
"Um-ah! That's very..um...rude, to say that..about them...I suppose." Tohru flushed.
Yuki smiled and pulled her closer to him, and whispered into her ear,"Just remember. Someday, okay?" He pulled away.
Tohru blushed madly. She nodded, then looked to Kyo. Their eyes met, and they gazed at eachother...
...fondly...
After Tohru was done cooking, and everybody had stuffed themselves with chicken, Momji couldn't contain himself anymore.
"YAHHHH!" Momiji jumped across the table and...
...latched himself onto Natsu...
"Wha-?" Natsu started, but it was too late.
POOF!
What was once Momiji was now a little corn-stalk colored rabbit.
Sakura dropped her Gukkensai Sake.
Natsu dropped her chopsticks.
Tohru blushed a serious red.
Kyo smacked his head, annoyed.
Yuki looked tired.
This was going to take awhile.
A/N: So now the two sisters know about the curse. But what if maybe...oh let's have fun with this...Tohru bends the truth a little?
