Chapter Two

Li Na-chan. Such a shy pretty girl, with her enchanting green eyes. But she seems so…just secluded and…hurt. I could barely get two words out of her, let alone a smile. But she did share a surname with the boys…

But me thinking and walked behind Yuki in the entry hall isn't a good idea.

"Ah! Yuki-kun!" I spluttered, taking my head away from where it had hit his back. "I'm so sorry!"

"Oh, it's alright Honda-san." Yuki's face looked over his shoulder down at me. "Is something on your mind?" He asked, noticing my puzzled face.

"Um, not really but…" I wrung my hands nervously. "Do you know a girl named Li Na in your family?" Yuki thought for a little while before shaking his head.

"Hmm…does Kyo-kun know?" I looked behind me at Kyo, who had just come through the door.

"What?" Kyo asked absently, looking surprised at me.
"She asked you a question you baka neko. Maybe next time you should listen!" Yuki said in a dead pan voice

"Who said I wasn't listening you kuso nezumi!" Kyo shouted back. He turned back to me, looking a little guilty. "It doesn't ring a bell."

My brow was furrowed in thought. Yuki and Kyo were both wonderful, but sometimes they didn't always remember people. But, then again, Sohma is a common name. I quickly changed from my uniform into some working clothes.

"Shigure, do you need help with anything?" Shigure smiled before he shook his head.

"I've heard that you were looking for a Sohma." I blinked in surprise as a flush rushed to my face. Was asking for her a sensitive subject?

"I didn't mean to eavesdrop," Shigure quickly added, the tone of his voice making sure that this wasn't a big problem, "But you know how Kyo and Yuki aren't too quiet when they talk. But, you said the girls name is Li Na?" I nodded.

"You know, it doesn't ring a bell for me either, and her name is Chinese. No Sohma's have ever been born in China. I'm sorry I couldn't help you Tohru-chan."

"That's alright Shigure, Maybe I was just wrong. Now, do you have any dirty clothes I can wash?" Shigure gave me another smile and pointed to the basket on the floor.

While I was doing the laundry and humming, I saw Yuki

"Are you going out for a walk?" I asked him. He turned to me before giving me a guilty smile.
"Actually, I was. I was going to check out my vegetables. Did you want to come?"
"Sure! Oh, if it's not any trouble of course..."

"No trouble at all, I assure you." Yuki said politely. Folding the last shirt neatly, I put it on the dryer and followed Yuki.
