A/N: So apparently some of my reviewers really wanted and update, well here it

is I'm sorry if it's not a real long chapter (I was taking ITEDS when I wrote

this during my free time between tests). I also typed up this chapter, whilst

listening to Josh Groban. I also want to thank by best friend Ookami-chan for

helping me edit these stories, love ya. Alright that's enough out of me.

Chapter 3

Peach Blossoms

Kaiya had already been living at Shigure's place for about two weeks now and

the first day of the second semester at school was starting tomorrow. It was

a lovely spring morning and Kaiya was propped outside on the back porch

watching the wind blow through the trees with their newly arrived blossoms.

Tohru noticed her sitting outside and went to join her.

"So, are you excited about school tomorrow?" Tohru asked.

"Oh, yes, I just always had a knack for school I guess." Kaiya

answered.

"That's good; yeah it's almost sad because after this semester we'll

finally be done with high school." Tohru said, "and I can finally get that

diploma, like Mom wanted me to."

"Well, I don't know about you, but I'm starved." Kaiya said, starting to

stand up, "let's go make some breakfast shall we?"

Kaiya was almost just as good a cook as Tohru. It probably came

from living with a grandmother who wanted her to know all the homemaking

skills a woman should know. Both girls began making breakfast when Tohru

realized that they were getting low on groceries again, and that there was no

milk. We all know how "you-know-who" gets upset when the milk is gone.

"Oh, well I guess I'll have to make a trip to the store after breakfast." Tohru said,
closing the refrigerator.

"I'll go with you." Kaiya offered as she carried some plates of food

out from the kitchen.

After breakfast, both girls grabbed their purses when they were

suddenly stopped by Yuki's appearance before them.

"So, where are you two going?" Yuki asked.

"Grocery shopping, we should be back in a little while." Tohru said as

Kaiya nodded her head in agreement.

"Bye Yuki." Both girls said as they waved and left the house.

Tohru and Kaiya walked to the store and began searching for things on

their list.

"Let's see, I know we definitely need some milk." Kaiya said reaching

for a carton of milk in front of her, while Tohru just stood there giggling.

As they made their way to the check-out counter, Kaiya suddenly remembered

something she forgot to get.

"Oh, wait, there's something I forgot." Kaiya said heading back

down the beverage isle. She returned to the check-out counter about five

minutes later. In her hands she held a twelve pack of diet root beer.

"Man, I can't live without this stuff!" Kaiya exclaimed placing the

soda in front of the cashier.

Kaiya and Tohru made their way out of the store and headed home. On

their way, they passed a park and noticed how empty it was. The park also

seemed to be surrounded by peach blossom trees. As the cool, crisp, spring wind

began to blow, petals from the trees were released. Suddenly, Kaiya set down

her groceries and began running towards the falling petals.

"Kaiya, what are you doing?" Tohru yelled as she began running after

her.

Kaiya suddenly stepped right under a tree, and opened her hand to

receive the falling petals.

"I'm sorry Tohru, but," Kaiya said as petals floated into her hands, "I

just love peach blossoms."

"That's so wonderful, Kaiya." Tohru said still looking at her.

The wind and the blossoms began to stop, and the two teens picked up

their groceries and returned home, where they were greeted by Shigure.

"So, where have you two been all this time?" He asked.

"No place special, just the store and I showed Tohru one of my

favorite spots." Kaiya replied.

"Well, I'll go put the groceries away." Said Tohru, whom didn't notice

an angry Kyo bursting through from the kitchen.

"Man, I can't believe we're out of milk!" Kyo yelled just as Tohru

began to walk into the kitchen and….

POOF!

Kyo appeared as a cat on ground, his pissed off look still plastered on his face.

"Uh," Kaiya started to laugh as she picked up the new carton of milk, "here's the milk you wanted, Kyo."
