Author comment: Thank you for reveiws! And i will get to why Yuki was being mean in this chapter or the next one.

As they neared her house Tohru's stomach started to flutter in nervousness. Hiro didn't seem to see though, he was busily chewing on his chocolate bar in front of her. What would her family say? She wasn't excited about the rude comments she was about to face.

"H-hiro" She stuttered comming to a stop on the side walk. He turned his head to look back at her. An annoyed expression on his face.

"What?"

"I..uh..don't know if I can go back...I mean to Shigure's and everything. They made me...really sad" She said looking down at the ground not daring to look at the glare she knew she was getting from Hiro.

She felt him approaching her and to her surprise arms wrapped themselves around her. Gasping in surprise her hearda "pop" and a sheep lay on the ground in a bundle of clothes. People on the streets were looking at her, but none seemed to see that a boy was the one that changed into a sheep.

"Hiro!" She said loooking around frantically for a place to hide him.

"Pick me up."

"What?"

"you heard me. Pick me up before i transform back, you wouldn't want to draw attention to us now would you? Are you deaf or something? Hurry up!"The sheep yelled from the ground. "Take me to your house."

Scrambling over to the small sheep she scooped it up with the clothes around it and headed for her house. Hiro didn't say anything on the way there. Which seemed unusual for him. But Tohru was grateful for the silence, she didnt't like getting yelled at by him.

She finally reached the house and started to open the door before she felt something kick her in the side. Letting out a "umph" in surprise she dropped the sheep who landed on its feet and was staring angrily at her.

"What are you, stupid? What do you think they will say if you bring a sheep in the house? You are so dumb. This was just a waste of time, they should of had someone else take you here. He said before another "Pop" was heard and he stood in front of her hands on his hips.

"Are you going to let me stand around naked all day or give me my clothes back?" He said to the back which was facing him. Handing Hiro his clothes without looking Tohru waited until he finished dressing till she turned around.

"Lets go," He said sliding the door open and then shutting it behind her as she walked in.

"Hello!" She called out and her voice rang through the house. Hearing a voice her uncle popped his head around the corner and smirked at seeing her and Hiro. "Oh Tohru, you bringing a boy home this time or are you going to go live with him also?" He asked comming from behind the corner and standing in front of them.

"I..um..I'm going back to live where I was," She stammered. "Wheres Grandpa?"

"Not here."

"Oh, well tell him when he gets home, please," She said looking away from him.

"And who is this?" He asked glancing at Hiro. Who hadn't seemed to have been paying attention this whole time but snapped up to look at him. "Why do you care?" Hiro said, hearing him. "Do you need to know everyone? Does the world now revolve around you? Are youking of the world, so you have to know everyones name? Why cant you just ask the person who you want to know about? Its not like I'll bite." He stood infront of him looking at him with that calm stare.

He had obviously got a reaction from her uncle, for he was not biting his lip with anger watching Hiro who was smiling at have gotton to him. "Don't try anything, I'm much younger then you, and you're not twenty anymore. And it looks like you've put on a few pounds" He said patting his stomahc before walking by. "So which one is your room, Tohru?"

"I..uh..that one," she said pointing to a room. Hiro open the door and stared into it before slamming it shut again. "This was a waste of time." He said at seeing the mess. "You arn't organized at all. You're like a pig living in that room, don't you ever clean. You should be Kagura instead of her. Which by the way is comming to get you tomorrow. I probably won't see you again. It has been a blast." He said sarcastically before leaving.

She watched him go. It was true, she hadn't been keeping up with her cleaning ever since she left the Sohma's. Well if she was going to leave she better start packing. As she turned to ask her uncle where the suitcases were she saw a flash of movement and then her cheek burned hot as it stung furiously. Dropping to the floor from the blow she watched her uncle walk away as if nothing happened.

Caressing her cheek in her palm she got up and searched through the closets till she found one. Racing back to her room she stuffed the clothes neatly in. Grabbing mom's picture she held it up to the light so she could see. Sighing softly she put it in the suit case and snapped it shut as soon as her name was called.

Turning Tohru saw the withered old man looking at her. "Hi Grandpa."

"Are you leaving again?"

"Yes..thank you so much for keeping me all this time," she said running up and hugging him. She felt him embrace her. "Tohru, you know you can always come back if you need to." he said kissing the top of her head before letting go. "At least you're getting out of the house before ou get old...its better then some people around here," He said smiling.

"Thanks grandpa...I think I'm going to skeep now."

"Alright, goodnight, Tohru."

"Night," she responded before crawling onto her bed and falling to sleep.
