Eating a carrot for a midnight snack, Tohru looked at the phone in confusion. Who could be calling the Sohmas at this time?
Roku was sitting beside her, eating Honey Bunches of Oats with no milk as his midnight snack. "I'll get it." She whispered.
She hesitantly went up to the phone, and picked it up. She stared at the phone before putting it in her ear.
"H-Hello?"
"Hello Tohru." A gruff voice said. There was a bell ringing somewhere. Why was it so familiar-?
Her heart stopped.
And she dropped the phone.
"Y-Yes?" she wasn't even wondering how he got their phone number.
"Tohru, I want you to get out of that house immediately. I have paid for the renovation to complete before the real date. I do not like you being in that house. Take Roku out, I don't care. Go back to your Grandfather's house, and leave this house. For good."
"Tohru, who the hell is that?" he whispered. Walking towards the phone with curiosity , he took the phone from her, and she let him, her eyes still staring off into space.
"Hello?"
"Hello Roku."
The moment he heard that voice, he slammed the phone back on its pedestal.
We all know that the class is always rowdy during the morning before the teacher comes in. Most of the time, the teacher has problems with settling the class down.
But this morning…
No one was spreading gossip.
No one was talking about the latest football game.
No one was acting like an idiot.
No one was standing in their chairs.
It was just…quiet.
When Ms. Box came into the room, she brought along the principal and some other administrators. By the least, they were very surprised at the quiet class actually doing their work.
Roku was staring at the window, his depression seeping through the students.
It seemed like Tohru was also acting the same way. Her brother's depression, and her own clashed together, causing bleakness to seep into the students of 1A.
The teacher was chatting excitedly with her other friends about how she finally trained their class to behave.
This happened before. But only once or twice.
It was when the Honda twins mother died.
Flashback
The atmosphere in the room was happy. Everyone was laughing, singing their little songs, and so on.
"Tohru! Roku!"
"GRANDPA!" they both screamed, dropping their toys and running towards them, his arms were wide open for hugs. "Hello. How was your day in school?"
"GREAT!" they said simultaneously.
"Ok. Let's go home."
"Cookies?" Roku asked.
"Yep! Cookies!" he answered.
"YAY!"
But later that day, they waited for their mom to come back. They kept waiting…and waiting…and waiting…
"Grandpa? Where's mommy? Grandpa?" she walked into a room where her grandfather was holding tissue and crying. Her grandpa never ever cried.
"Grandpa? Grandpa? What's wrong Grandpa?"
All he did was pull Tohru into his lap, and hug her close…
The next day, the who room was quiet. Nobody sang a song.
End of Flashback
The teacher was just looking at the bored, teaching dully. No one laughed for the whole day. Was it because of Tohru and Roku? Usually if one was depressed, it wouldn't affect everyone. But…if it was both of them…
"MR. HONDA!" she slammed her book on his desk, but all he did was look up, past her eyes.
Usually the class would laugh. But no one did. The teacher looked puzzled for a moment before continuing on her lesson.
'What the hell is going on?' Yuki and Kyo thought silently.
(OF COURSE IT'S SILENT. THEY ARE THINKING!)
Both were starting to get worried about the two.
"U-Um…I don't know how to explain this…" Roku twiddled his fingers nervously, trying to think of the correct words to say. Which was usually quite easy for him, but not this time.
"What she is trying to say is that the renovation is done, Shigure." Tohru finished.
Kyo stopped whatever he was doing outside, and looked over his shoulder, just in time to see Roku smack Tohru on the head in annoyance. "No. That's not what I'm trying to say. What I'm trying to say is that I'm staying here."
"What?" she said quietly.
"Yeah. I've decided that, I don't wanna go back that hell hole called a house. And living our crappy cousins is even worse." Tohru looked down sadly at her balled up fists. Trying not to cry. She had to be the big girl here! Not the cry baby one…
"Wait, what is this renovation? Why haven't I heard of it?" Kyo asked, walking into the small room they were in. Tohru shook her head sadly, and stood up. "I-I should start packing up…"
Roku huffed something under his breath but looked at Kyo. "We only stayed here cause we had nowhere to go for some time. But now that the renovation is done, we…or I should say, she can go back home now." 'Back where Zenaku can find her…'
Roku stood up. "I'll go make dinner." Walking briskly towards the kitchen.
When she turned the corner, tears about to spill out of her eyes, a surprised Yuki stood in the corner.
"M-Ms Honda…"
"O-Oh…Yuki…thank you for everything!" and put on a fake smile.
"A-Anytime." He stuttered. She nodded and walked past him to walk upstairs towards his room.
"A gazillion poetic and loving things you could have said to her, but all you say is 'Anytime'" he mocked in a high pitched voice. "Really Yuki, I'm surprised." Shigure said as his head popped out from the corner. Yuki seemed to not hear or ignored him completely, and looked at the path she walked.
She packed the small stuff that she had in her room and put it in her small bag. When she picked up mom's picture she just sat there, as if having an imaginary conversation with her.
"Yo, Tohru." She jumped back 10 spaces, as she heard her 'older' brother. "W-What?" she asked, her voice cracking.
"You got a letter. It came from the main house. It was locked with a golden seal, so I couldn't open it."
She hesitantly took the envelope and slowly opened. When she looked behind her shoulder, he was already gone.
She took a deep breath and pulled out the small sheet of paper out of it with much force. She opened her trembling eyes slowly.
What is said…what…
You should know by now. A rice ball can never belong in a fruit basket.
She slowly put the letter back in the envelope. Sat in the corner of her bedroom…
And wept.
