Chapter 3 "Do you love her?"
Ritsu walked to the end of the hall and looked at the wall standing in front of him. Looking to his left, Ritsu's eyes made their way to the door. He walked in and closed the door behind him. Ritsu pulled of his shirt and dropped it on the floor. He walked to the end of his room and knelt in front of a wooden dresser. Opening the dresser, he saw a small white cloth. He pulled it out, along with a kimono shirt. Taking the cloth in one hand he wrapped it around his left wrist. Once tying the cloth and picked up the kimono and slid it over his head. Pulling it down to his waist he let out a heavy sigh. Ritsu then bent over and picked up the other shirt and went to go wash it.
"So...Ms. Honda...What happened?" Yuki asked as he went to his knees to try and calm her down.
"Ritsu was bleeding! He had blood on his whole arm! I don't know where it came from! There was so much I even got some on my hands!" Tohru stated to sob. "I'm so scared..."
Yuki took out a wet rag and started to clean Tohru's hands and tried to calm her down. He had come running when he heard her scream. "Don't worry; I'll try to find out what is going on, ok? Here, let's try this, why don't you go to the hot springs? Try to enjoy yourself. That is why you are here."
"...Ok...I really hope everything is ok..." She said wiping her tears.
"Everything will turn out ok, don't worry, Ms. Honda." Yuki stood up and walked over to the door. As he opened it he looked back at her, "Ms. Honda? You should relax. Besides, it's your birthday tomorrow." And with that said, he walked out and closed the door.
"That's right...my birthday is tomorrow..."She said softly.
Ritsu walked out of the laundry room with the shirt in his hands. He turned the corner and bumped in to his mother. POOF! Ritsu's clothes fell around his small monkey body and he looked up at his mother. "Hello mother."
"Oh, Ritsu, I'm sorry, dear," said his mother, refraining herself from screaming "I'm sorry!" "What are you doing right now?" Before Ritsu could say anything, she continued, "Well tomorrow, we are going to have a party." Seeing the confused look on her son's face she decided to explain. "Well, as you know tomorrow is Ms. Tohru's birthday."
"IT IS!" Ritsu gasped. "I had no idea! I have to go and buy her something!" Ritsu transformed back to human. He pulled up his pants and looked at his mother blushing, "mother...Do you mind if I go buy her a gift?"
She raised an eye brow and smiled, "go ahead."
Ritsu smiled and mouthed the words, "thanks mother" and ran to his room to get his wallet.
Kyo walked to his room and slowly closed the door. He sighed and walked over to his backpack that sat on his bed. He looked around to make sure no one was in the room. Once he was sure about it, he put his hand in the bag and pulled out a small box. Looking around the room once more he smiled and lifted the top off. Looking inside the box his eyes made their way to Tohru's gift. Inside the box was a silver necklace with a silver locket. The locket had three words carved in to it. The words "I love you" shined in the sunlight. After he cleaned the already clean, locket he smiled and closed the box.
"Do love her?" Came Shigure's voice from behind him.
Kyo quickly shoved the box into his bag and spun around, "NO!" He yelled his face red as a tomato. "I don't love her!"
"Sure you don't." Shigure said, smiling his "ever knowing" smile. "That locket was just for Yuki, right?"
"No! I hate that damn rat!"
"Then who is it for? Ritsu?"
"No!"
"Then it's for his mother?"
"No!"
"I know! Then it's for me! Oh, Kyo you shouldn't have!"
"It's not for you! It's for Tohru!" Kyo yelled.
Shigure nodded, "yup, I knew it."
"..." Kyo couldn't say a word. The dog did it again! He got more information out of Kyo! Kyo picked up the bag and ran out of the room.
Yuki walked into his room and closed the door. He walked to his bed and sat down next to his backpack. Putting his hands in it he pulled out a small box. After opening the box he looked at Tohru's gift. A silver bracelet shined in the sunlight and Yuki smiled after reading the words "I love you".
"Do love her?" Came Shigure's voice from infront him.
Yuki looked up and smiled. "...Yes, I do..."
"You know, Akito will not allow you to be happy," Shigure said, sitting next to him.
"...I...I know..." Yuki closed the box and looked at Shigure's eyes. After putting the box in his back pack he said, "I...just want here to know what I feel."
Shigure patted his back. "Don't worry."
"So...Is that all?"
"..."Ritsu looked at the kimono he was going to buy, that the sales woman was holding up. The kimono was white with soft pink flowers. He looked up at her and asked what do you think?"
"Well...sorry for asking...Do you love her?"
"...Yes...I do! Yes, I love her! I love her more than life itself!" He said smiling.
She smiled and said, "Well then I think you should get her earrings, perhaps silver."
Ritsu smiled and nodded, "that will be perfect." He looked around until his eyes found a small pair of earrings that said love in Chinese. He picked those and paired for the dress and the earrings, and walked out of the store.
