I don't own anything, even though I would love to own the Mikage business and get filthy rich.

Chapter Three: Truth and Lies

The night poured in slowly devouring the disappearing sunlight. No room was an exception, not even in one of the gloomiest houses in Japan. This house was filled with a forlorn aura, which was odd seeing how it was usually filled with the unimaginable tastes of food and a warm happy atmosphere. The smell of food still lingered faintly but the waves of the house were filled with chaos.

"Why?" a kneeling girl whispered," Why today? Why now?" She stared at a shattered glass above a picture of a smiling woman. It almost seemed as if the woman was mocking at her sorrow. Tears filled her eyes again as her fingers ran over the picture, outlining the person she once believed was her kin.

As she lay broken, her housemates paced outside the door worried. They dare not break the silence that hung in the room; even Shigure who always has something to say couldn't find the words to relieve anyone. Yuki's face was filled with concern and occasionally stopped pacing and glanced at the door. A blond haired boy, whose face is usually filled with joy, had look of worry and distress. A little girl with orange hair was tearfully quiet and by a presence of an irritated young male around her age. He looked as if he would breakdown at the first person who spoken to him. This was because of a certain high school student hugging little Sa-chan. He had white and black hair and had the face of someone always worrying. Kagura was always a shy and quiet girl, but today she was in place where she could go wild. She normally does after all, her beloved is here. However she sat outside and closed her eyes. She tried to think of something that would worry or upset Tohru this much, but she could not. Everyone believed there was nothing that could break her down.

Then there was the most loudest and annoying-est person that Yuki could ever think of. Yes, the noble and gracious older brother Ayame, he was silent as well looking at the younger and less vain version of himself. The very hypocritical man was sitting with an elbow on the table. He was a doctor yet he was smoking even though he was surrounded by under aged children. Hatori had taken a liking to this girl and she suddenly she disappears into her room. Who wouldn't be worried about her? One person was missing from this room and that was the orange-haired Kyo. He was on the ceiling, a place that allowed his thoughts to wander. However, tonight he concentrated on the events of the party; he was pretty sure he was missing something.

Kyo closed his eyes and started taking deep breaths. He thought of the time Tohru ran into her room and everyone heard the shattering of glass. Kyo remembered that scene clearly.

"Something is wrong," Kyo muttered as he heard her run to her room.

"Oi," Arisa yelled," What's wrong Tohru?" Hanajima merely closed her eyes and leaned against the wall. It was almost as if she suspected something like this to occur.

"It's no use," Hanajima said," I warned her and this is the outcome. Her waves are changing and for the better or good, no one knows."

"Tohru? Tohru whats wrong?" Kyo banged on her door, "TORHU!"

"Leave me alone, please," Tohru answered," I wish to be alone."

"Honda-san, you told me once that if I need to talk you'll be there. Perhaps I should return the favor, yes?" Yuki asked.

"I do not wish to talk," Tohru replied.

- - - - -

He re-ran the party in his head and came with a conclusion, the package. Yes it was the package that the old man had given Tohru. He felt a bit of pride in himself as he thought of the Rat's face when he told him the cause of Tohru's eccentric behavior. The breeze grew colder until it started to snow.

Nov. 30

It's snowing today.

The drained girl noticed the falling flakes of white outside and closed her eyes.

It's so beautiful, it seems only yesterday my when I realized I wasn't normal. That day I wish it were snowing like this.

"That day I wish it were snowing like this," Tohru read out loud as she glanced out the window once more. Her lips slightly twitched into a smile as if she realized something.

I miss Touya, I haven't seen him for months and Yuhi hasn't helped at all. Every time I mention Touya's name he gets so mad.

"Touya?" she whispered," who is Touya?"

Sometimes he's so hard to understand. I hate this, I feel like Suzumi-san is hiding something from me.

"I hate it when someone is hiding from me too," Tohru thought, "my mom, I mean Kyoko-san did a very good job of keeping secrets. But I will find you."

School is school I suppose. Chidori and I went shopping together, it's almost her birthday. I bought her the cutest little sweater.

"Tohru-kun?" Arisa asked," are you okay?"

It's been to quiet, but I know it won't last forever.

"Nothing lasts forever," Tohru thought.

"Tohru-kun, you're almost done there right?" Hanajima said.

I'm just thankful another day has passed quietly for me. I look forward to have tomorrow another eventful day.

Mikage Aya

Tohru closed the journal. She had only read a few entries, but they seemed unimportant. "I won't forgive her," Tohru whispered," I will never do it." However when she said this, she didn't know which she Tohru had been talking about.

She quietly opened the door where many anxious people were waiting. She plastered on a smile and said," I'm very sorry to have to wait like this. I'm such a bad host. I hope I can make this up somehow."

"I just hope you are ready for the trials ahead," Hanajima spoke very softly allowing only Tohru to hear. Tohru simply smiled.

"Well, let's eat the cake," Tohru said.

"Nee-chan," Kisa cried as she ran up to Tohru and hugged her.

"I'm sorry for worrying you all," Tohru smiled a genuine smile.

I'm just thankful another day has passed quietly for me. I look forward to have tomorrow another eventful day.

End of Chapter Three

End: Nov. 27. 2005

Man sorry for updating so late and not editing a single chapter on my other fic. Someone let me borrow their burned FMA cds. I mean all 51 episodes and I had to watch them all. I have 2 ½ bags filled with tissues. If anyone watched it you'll know what I mean.

Preview of the Next Chapter: A Single thread in a Tapestry

"I never knew you were interested in that kind of stuff," Shigure said," but all my books on such are at the Main House."

"Let it begin Honda-san," Akito said darkly," the play had only begun."
