A/N---You guys asked for it, so here it is! Chapter 2 of "Saying Goodbye". Thanks so much for all your reviews, although I would've preferred them not to be anonymous. This chapter's going to be kind of short, I think. Sorry. And also, I don't know much about the length between death and funeral, so please just go with it, if you can. All right, on with chapter two.

Dear Tohru,
It's been a week and a half since your death. We all really miss you, Honda-san. I'm placing this letter in a---shall we say, offering for you. Inside are onigiri made just for you. Kyo the baka neko made them. Sorry, Honda-san, but even though you've broken the curse, I still see Kyo as a stupid cat.
I've been trying to remain cheerful, as you told me to, but it's been hard. Spring Break just passed, remember? So tomorrow I have to go back to school. I hope I'll be ok. I'll do my best for you, Honda-san.
Yours Truly,
Yuki
Yuki reluctantly placed the letter in the box of offerings for Tohru. Then he stepped back as Kyo placed his letter inside.
Hey Tohru,
It's been a week and a half since your death, can you believe that? Tohru, I… really miss you. Without your smile in Shigure's household, everything seems so bleak. I'll try not to let it get me down.
I made onigiri for you, Tohru. I remember what we talked about so long ago, when you were still here. We talked about the plum on peoples' backs, remember?
Don't worry too much about us, Tohru. I've been cooking since we both know Shigure and Yuki can't, and me and Yuki have both been pitching in to do the chores. We've made a truce since you died.
Tohru, I miss you. I keep waiting for you to rush in the door with an explanation for why you've been gone so long. I…I love you, Tohru. Come visit me sometime.
See ya,
Kyo
Kyo blinked hard as tears crept in his eyes; he quickly wiped them away, hoping nobody noticed. Then he placed his letter inside the onigiri box.

A/N- Heheh, short. Gomen nasai. Also, I didn't put in a graveyard explanation because I thought the letters could just say what needed to be said. If you're worried about Uo-chan and Hana-chan, they'll be coming up next chapter. Review please… it would make my day… and it's not that hard. I'll try to reply to all signed reviews I get.
