Tohru and Haru walked to school hand-in-hand, causing them to attract stares from almost everyone they passed. This made Tohru blush. She had never gotten so much attention from anyone... except the Sohmas. Thinking about the times she shared with Yuki and Kyo, made tears come to her eyes. She stopped, giving up on holding the tears back, she let them roll down her cheeks as she fell to her knees. She couldn't face them. She had only seen them once, in fear of her feelings for them to be rekindled. She took enough of a risk the one time she had seen them, she had even considered staying. She didn't want to leave Haru... and yet, something kept pulling her back to the Sohma house. Haru knelt down beside her, worry overtaking his eyes.
"Tohru? What's wrong, are you okay?" He put a comforting arm around her, drawing her close. He walked her over to a bench where she cried into his shirt for the next ten minutes.After she was finished, Haru held her in a close embrace, them they started off toward school.
Tohru walked into her new classroom, all eyes were watching her as she took the seat that had her name on it. As the teacher started giving a lecture about the school rules, she felt a slight breeze over her shoulder when a small note landed on her desk. She opened it up.
look behind you.
She turned her head to see Kyo sitting right behind her. He smiled and waved making her heart jump. Oh no! she thought to herself as she turned around quickly. She put her head in her hands shaking it. I can't do it! I can't fall in love with him... I'm in love with Haru. Right? She shook the thoughts from her head. I'm just happy to see him. That's it. That's all it will ever be. The rest of the period, she sat quietly listening to the talks of her teacher, Mrs. Kira. When the day was over, she was getting her stuff together when she felt hands cover her eyes.
"Guess who." came the voice behind her.
She thought for a moment. "Haru?" The hands were removed, and Kyo stepped out in front of her.
"I'm insulted." He pouted. She let out a small giggle. He smiled. He could never go against that. They walked down the school steps where they found Yuki and Haru waiting for them. Haru smiled as he saw Tohru walking down the steps. She ran into his arms. Suddenly, he pulled away holding her at arms length. She looked at him with worried eyes.
"Haru what's wrong?" Tohru asked him.
He smiled at her. "I just forgot a couple things." he said to her. "You go on home, I'll be home later, I have some things I need to take care of."
She smiled. "Okay! I'll wait here."
His eyes grew wide. "No!" He shouted, then calmed down. "I mean no. You go ahead home. This will take a while." He gave her a quick kiss on the cheek, and sprinted up the school stairs.
Tohru watched as he left. "O-Okay... i guess." She started walking home when she felt someone grab her by the hand. She turned around to see Yuki standing behind her smiling. "Here, we'll walk home with you, and stay 'til he gets back, if that's okay."
She could hardly speak. She knodded her head, and led the way to her and Haru's house. When they got there, Tohru unlocked the door and went in. "I'm sorry the house is such a mess, I didn't get a chance to do much cleaning yesterday. Go ahead and sit down, or do whatever. I'm just going to go put my stuff away." They knodded and went to the kitchen to get some food. Tohru walked down the hallway to her room and oput her stuff away, then sat on the bed thinking of what she had done to make Haru act the way he was. Now that she thought about it, he HAD been acting abit strange, more like distant lately. She sighed. "Maybe I should just stay out of his business anyways." She sat quietly for a moment. Then at the sound of someone standing at her door, she turned to see Kyo looking at her with worried eyes.
"Are you okay?" He asked sitting beside her on the bed. (don't worry, nothing hapoens... yet jk)
She smiled at him. "I'm fine" she said trying to sound happy and cheerful. He gave her a doubting look. She sighed. "You're right. I'm worried why Haru is acting so strange. Do you know that the other day he called me Kara instead of Tohru. He said it was an old friend that he had just recieved a letter from, and she was just on his mind."
Oh God! Kyo thought to himself. Is he- Is he cheating on Tohru? Kyo clenched his fists. That BASTARD! If he is... he can't even imagine what I will do to him. He turned to look at Tohru who had her eyes narrowed sadly. WOW! She must really care about him. After a while, he got up, pulling Tohru up with him, and walked into the living room where he sat her down on the couch and went to make her some dinner through all her objections.
When Haru got home, it was around 4 a.m. He went to his room, changed, then went to bed.
The next morning, when Tohru woke up, on her way to the kitchen, she peeked in Haru's room to check on him. When she opened the door, she found the room empty. She walked in looking around for some kind of note as to where he had gone. There on the night stand, she found a note that read:
I went to the store to get some supplies for a school project.
She smiled. For a brief second, she thought that he had left her. After she ate and got ready, it was still pretty early, and she was about to go do some extra studying, when she rememberd that she had promised Yuki that she would help him set up for the student council meeting in the library. Without even looking at the clock, she ran to school. Right as she was about to walk up the steps, she heard someone shout her name.
"Hey Tohru!" It was Yuki. He ran up beside her. "Good morning. I'm glad you remembered."
She smiled. "Of course, how could I forget?" They walked up the stairs together. They talked quietly to each other as they made their way to the library. When they reached the glass doors, they stopped dead in their tracks, and Tohru's heart stopped beating. There in the library was Haru, but god he was not alone. Some senior was with him. And when I say with him, I mean that they were making out right in the middle of the library, Haru leaning her over one of the tables. Haru looked up to see Yuki and Tohru. Tohru shook her head and ran away with tears running down her cheeks. He started to run after her, but as soon as he opened the door, Yuki punched him right in the face. He fell to the floor unconcious. Yuki then ran after Tohru. As he exited the school, he ran into Kyo, and fell backwards onto the stairs. Kyo looked up.
"Watch where you're going!" But when he saw the urgency in Yuki's eyes,he cooled off. "What's wrong, what happened."
"It's Tohru! Haru has been cheating on her! The bastard cheated on her! We saw him making out with some senior in the library!" Kyo's eyes burned in anger! He started running up to the school to kill Haru when Yuki stopped him.
"What are you doing? Let me go!" Kyo shouted at Yuki. Yuki stood up.
"We have to find Tohru. She just took off. Do you get what I am saying Kyo! TOHRU IS MISSING!" Kyo's eyes widened in fear as Yuki said this.
"You go get the police, and describe her the best you can. I'll go look for her. I have more energy!" Kyo shouted as he started running. Yuki knodded in agreement, then took off for the police station, then to tell Shigure and them to help.
