I am officially hooked! I am trying to get as much writing as possible in before my school starts on Thursday. This next chapter was really fun to write and you start to see some drama in this one. I just had to put the bastard in here because no Furuba fanfic is good without him…even though I completely hate him with a passion! Can you guess who I am talking about? I am pretty sure you can!

Anywho…I want to thank my first two reviewers! I know that this story hasn't been to exciting yet but I think this next chapter will really make things more exciting.

nekoXears: tanky tanky! I hope that the story you are gonna be starting soon will work out good! Love ya!

MagikMaker: OMG! It is so funny but right before I started working on this story I read your story called "Tohru's Big Surprise"! I thought that it was really good! It's a small world huh?

Okie dokie, now on with the fourth chapter of Forgotten Birthday!

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Pleasant and Unpleasant Surprises

With a satisfied grin, Kyo walked into the main entry of Shigure's house. As he took of his shoes he was surprised to see two extra pair in the row. 'Now who the hell could that be?' Momiji had already left and Yuki was still at his meeting. He started to hear voices as he approached the living room.

"So where's that Orange Top?"

"Oh, he went to the dojo?"

"He takes martial arts? No wonder he is so hotheaded!"

"Yes he does seem a little temperamental sometimes."

Kyo made a fist as he realized that Uo and Hana were the guests. His fist tightened as he heard that they were talking about him.

"No, he really is nice when you get to know him!" Tohru exclaimed coming to his defense.

"Ya, and I'm really a man!" Uo said, laughing at her own sarcasm.

"Now there's no surprise there!" Kyo stepped into the room with a smirk on his face.

"And what the hell is that supposed to mean!"

"I don't know…you said it first!"

"Guys, do you really have to fight right now?" at the sudden interruption, Kyo lowered his fist and Uo softened her harsh glare. Tohru was looking at them with a weary look.

Suddenly she went into a fit of giggles. Everyone was looking at her weirdly as she tried to explain. "I feel like a mother trying to separate two bickering children!" Kyo gave a nervous laugh. He had only seen her act like this once before, when him and Yuki had been fighting at the lake. Now Tohru could not stop laughing and Hana joined in with a quiet laugh. Uo looked a little startled but soon joined in. Soon they were all on the floor holding their stomachs from laughing so hard. Kyo looked down at them and said, "Are you sure that I am in the right house?" This only made Tohru laugh harder.

After a few minutes, she started to apologize. "I'm sorry, I wasn't really laughing at you! Oh, but I guess I was! It's just that you looked so funny! Ah! Not that you look funny! What I'm trying to say is-" "Tohru's it's cool. Don't worry so much." He gave a small smile and started to walk away. "Aww! Looks like our little Kyo has a crush!" "Hell no I don't! I'm just tired of hearing non stop babbling all the time," and with that he stormed into the kitchen.

"Sorry to ask but, what exactly are you two doing here?" Tohru now turned her attention to her best friends.

"Oh yes, in all of the fluster we seemed to have forgotten why we are here," came Hana's soft voice.

"This morning when you ran inside you dropped your gifts!" Uo gave Tohru a triumphant smile as she handed her the black and green packages again.

"Really, you guys didn't have to get me anything. I don't deserve it!"

"Tohru, we wanted to get you these gifts. You are like a little sister to us and we love you!"

"I love you guys too!"

"So open them already!" Uo was now sitting on the couch in anticipation.

In five minutes Tohru was almost dissolved to tears. Uo had given her a gold painted, wooden picture frame with Kyoko, Tohru, Uo, and Hana's picture in it from when they were younger. Hana had presented her with a golden locket that had the words "always with you" inscribed on the front. Inside she had a smaller version of the picture that Uo had given her. Now they were on their way to visit her mother's grave.

After spending nearly an hour at the grave she realized that it was now 7:30 in the evening. With a shriek she ran home to find takeout on the table. 'I can't believe I forgot to fix supper! I have been cooking supper for them every night for over two years!' She began to feel like an idiot again. 'First my birthday, now this! What is wrong with me lately! Ah! I am such an idiot!' Shigure came in from the kitchen and yelled in surprise as he saw her on the floor, crying. "Tohru! What's the matter? Did someone hurt you!" "S-Shi-Shigure, I have been a complete failure! I can't believe I made you all order take out!"

"Tohru, honestly you are starting to sound like Ritsu. I had already planned on ordering for takeout because I didn't want you to cook supper tonight." 'Oh no! What does that mean? Does he want me to move out.' "I know that it's your birthday and you need to relax some. Just leave it all up to us! Even through the harsh, bitter cold winds of adversity, we can stand strong knowing that our beautiful flower has a smile on her face!" Tohru blushed, embarrassed.

"What are you blabbering about now you fool?"

"Ah, Kyo. I was just about to discuss with you our plans for tomorrow! Why don't we all three sit together as Tohru eats and talk about it?"

"Whatever," he mumbled.

"Um…has Yuki come in yet?" Tohru questioned noticing that there was another uneaten box of food next to hers.

"Oh yes he's been here. But I think he went outside to the vegetable garden for a while. He should be back any moment."

"Sounds fun," Kyo said with mock excitement.

"As I was saying earlier, we need to discuss our plans for tomorrow."

"Er…plans?" Tohru said with a puzzled look.

"Yes! Of course I have arranged a special surprise for your birthday tomorrow, but I would like to keep the finer details a surprise."

"Shigure! Really you don't have to do this! It's enough of a gift for you to allow me to stay here for so long! I really don't need anymore."

"It has certainly been a pleasure having you here but, I would be honored if you would please accept my gift." His lower lip trembled and he put his best puppy dog eyes on.

"Ok, I accept!"

"Fantastic, I am sure that you will enjoy it. Now if you are finished, I think that you should start up to bed. We have a big day ahead of us tomorrow!" Both Tohru and Kyo stood.

"Ah, Kyo. As much as I am sure that you would love to go to bed with Tohru. I need to talk to you." Kyo's face turned red with embarrassment and rage as her landed a punch in his stomach. "YOU SICK, TWISTED BASTARD!" Tohru heard them yelling as she made her way up the stairs.

When she reached her room she looked out the window and began to silently talk to her mother. 'Mom, after going to your grave today, it brought up a lot of emotions. I know you have told me to be strong but I miss you so much!' A tear silently slid down her cheek. 'I will be as strong as I can. But thank you for leaving me in the care of the wonderful Sohma's. I am so happy to have met them.' As she turned to climb in bed, something outside caught her eye. Yuki was coming out of the woods with a look of ease on his face. He was a bit dirty but he looked very happy. He even had a small smile on his face. 'He looks so happy. I wonder what happened…'

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Tohru drifted off into a deep, comfortable sleep. What felt like minutes later she was being nudged awake by a harassed looking Kyo. "That damn dog won't ever leave me alone," he mumbled more to himself than her.

"Good morning Kyo!" Tohru said with a bright smile. "Did you need something?"

"Uh…well…I brought breakfast up to you." His eyes fell to the floor.

"Thank you so much! You really didn't have to do that! I could have made it myself, it wouldn't have been to much trouble."

"Can't you ever learn to just relax!" he snapped at her. "Sorry…that's not what I meant."

"It's ok Kyo…"

"Well, I'm gonna go for a jog before we leave. Shigure says you need to be ready to go in an hour."

"Ok, thanks again for the breakfast! It's delicious!"

"Whatever…"

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Kyo had been running for about a mile when he decided that he should head back. Shigure had told him the night before about renting a charter bus and planning a surprise party at the mountain resort the Sohma's owned. Kyo was a little pissed to find out that he had rushed in buying her gift for nothing. But he couldn't help but smile when he thought about what her reaction would be when he gave it to her.

As the house came into view about a fourth of a mile away he felt a stone hit his head. A scream of fury got caught in his throat as he turned to see who it had been. His eyes widened with fear as he looked into the eyes of Akito.

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

"Good morning Yuki! You really aren't a morning person are you?" She laughed airily as she came face to face with Yuki. His eyes were bloodshot and his expression groggy. He blushed and attempted to look more awake. "I guess not," he replied sheepishly. "I never really have been."

"Tohru! Happy Flower day!"

"Flower?" Tohru asked with quizzical eyes.

"Yes, it is a holiday I have made in honor of your belated birthday plans! So forever in the future today shall be known as 'Flower Day'!"

Tohru giggled nervously. "Well, I appreciate it very much!"

"Where did that stupid cat run off to? I noticed it was a little quiet in here." Yuki said looking around with his still bloodshot eyes.

"Um…I think he went for a jog, but he should be back soon."

"Well he better hurry! Ha'ri, Momiji, and Hatsuharu will be here any minute. They will be here to escort us on our little adventure!"

"That will be so much fun!"

"I thought you might like it…"

Kyo made his way into the kitchen. He looked shaken up and scared. He had dirt all over his face and his clothes were in a jumble. "Kyo! What happened? Are you ok!" Tohru ran over to him and he avoided her eyes. "Ya, I just tripped over a stick in the woods. I'm fine…" Only he knew that this was a complete lie.

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Dun dun dun! Tune in next time to find out just what happened with Akito! Mwahaha!
