You Don't Belong in A Fruit Basket!
Hey guys! Here's another chappy…so…yeah, enjoy!
"Do you think it worked?"
"Most probably. Tohru is such a goody. She will listen." Akito said quietly.
"Hmm…I don't think so. She will be drawn back to that place, either by her own will, or by force." Zenaku responded, twirling a red rose in his hand.
( I have just finished playing Ib. The roses grew on me. -_-)
"And what force may that be, Aku?" he said. (AKITO'S A HE IN MY FANFIC!)
"I don't know. It's strange really. Maybe I might visit her sometime…"
"Patience is key. Wait until the talent show."
"Hmm…maybe you're right…" he said, pulling the petals of the rose slowly off.
"Ok, now remember, don't talk to any strangers, if you go shopping, make sure there's a lot of witnesses, so if something were to happen, I could get a description, and make the guy that hurt you feel hell. Um…what else…" Roku said, checking over his sister multiple times before she left the door.
"It's ok, I'll be fine." She said.
"SAYS THE GIRL THAT FALLS DOWN WHATEVER SHE CAN TRIP ON, INCLUDING AIR!"
"You should stop babying her. She'll be perfectly fine." Kyo said leaning against the door frame. Roku's heavy glare told him to STFU.
Kyo shrugged and walked to the kitchen silently. Everywhere was unusually quiet. No one was fighting, and Shigure wasn't making any perverted comments.
"Um…there are some leftovers from last night's dinner…and…OH! I made new stew and rice, so if you want some, it's in a small pot…" Tohru was still trying to remember what else she was missing to tell the Sohamas before she left.
"They changed the date for the trash to Tuesday, so…" she murmured something incoherent at the end. "Ah Tohru, a worry cat as always. We are grown men. Well…some of us are." He hinted, nudging his head towards Yuki and Kyo.
"Shut up you stupid dog." Said the two pissed off boys.
"We can take care of ourselves flower. Don't worry your petals off."
Tohru blushed and slowly inched her way towards the door. "Oh…well, I'll see you guys at school tomorrow. See ya…WAIT!" She said loudly, slowly taking out a piece of folded paper out of her pocket.
"That's the address to my grandpa's house. If you need me, that's where I'll be!" before walking out the door completely. Roku had been smiling the whole time. "See ya sis…"
The house was eerily quiet.
Very, very quiet…
Until Kyo spoke up.
"So…why'd you stay?"
"You're just an idiot." He answered, and turned to look at Kyo. "Well, the reason I stayed is kinda a secret. But…she'll come back. I know it." He smiled to himself, going back in his little world made for him. "She just needs that little…push. " when he realized where he was, he shook his head quickly. "Ah, well, I better get going!" he smiled.
"And where could someone like you be going at this time?" Yuki asked.
"I got a call from an important someone. So I'll be back in about a day or two." He answered. "You guys should go eat dinner. Tohru wouldn't want you guys to go without dinner." And walked out the door with the biggest frown in the world on his face.
"I hate being a Shinigami with a passion…" Roku said quietly. "Stop complaining. You've been in such a bad mood ever since we started this mission. It's like you've been PMSing. Is there something I should know?" Ice said, covering his ears as the soul screamed it's heart out. "Gosh, you are SO FULL OF IT!" Roku said, holding the soul of a young boy in his arms. "Come on, you wanna go see your momma, right?" he asked gently. The young soul nodded slowly, snuggling himself into Roku's warmth. "Ok, come on, let's go." He smiled.
"Hey, before we take the kid to the Doors, why did you take up this job? Ya know, there aren't much people who take up taking the kids to the Doors of Death. So why did you do it? Usually, older Shinigami do it cause their experienced more than us teens. It's really sad when young kids die and we have to take them to the Doors of Death. Or the turn into an aku, and we have to send them to judgment."
"…You talk way to much ya know."
"It's something you gotta deal with, so tell me why you took it up?"
"Why did you take up this job?" Roku countered back, jumping down the steps that lead through the Doors of Death.
"I like to help kids. It's not fair they die so early, and then turn into an evil soul; aku, and kill innocent people! It's sad really."
"…"
"HEY! I TOLD YOU MY REASON, YOU TELL ME YOURS!"
"Hey, you ready to see your ma?" Roku asked the boy, the Doors opening, sensing a soul not connected to a body.
The little boy nodded and Roku sat him on the ground, and gave him a little nudge. The boy hesitantly let go of the traditional Shinigami hakama he was wearing, and walked slowly towards the blue light. Roku first thought the boy was mute, after all, he only nodded and shook his head.
"Ma…where are you?"
A woman spoke in Spanish, and the young boy put his hand out towards the light, and in moments the boy was gone.
"It's kinda personal…why I took up this job."
Ice knew why he took up this job. He took it cause something happened in his family, and he had to take the job. But, he wanted to know what.
"Yeah, you were much better with the adults. You mostly used brute force…"
"Well, we still have about 10 more kids. Come on, now isn't the time to be talking about who does what."
"Ah, hello Tohru! It's good to see you again!" her grandpa said, smiling brightly. "Hey Grandpa! It's good to see you again!" she smiled right back.
"Ahh, where is that troublesome brother of yours?" he asked, his old eyes looking behind her. "Oh, well, he decided to stay with a friend…"
"Ah, that's too bad. WELL, come and meet your cousins!" he said, and walked into the kitchen, which most probably mean that she should follow him.
When she walked into the kitchen, she found 3 people inside. 2 adults, and a teenage female. "Hi, I'm-"
"Yeah, Yeah, You're Tohru Honda. We get it already. Look, hurry up, and go clean that crap you call a room that I'm supposed to sleep in. Only then are you worthy of knowing my name." she said 'sassily'.
(OMG, WORD DIDN'T PUT A RED LINE UNDER SASSILY! *FIST PUMPS*)
Tohru smiled nonetheless and walked upstairs to put her things upstairs.
A few more hours into the night, she was daintily ironing her clothes for school tomorrow. She had been humming the song of 'Black Paper Moon' under her breath;
(YES. SOUL EATER. WOOOOHHOOOOO!)
Until her uncle came in the room, holding the purple sock she had put in his drawer moments earlier. "Oh, hey-"
"Did you put that sock in my room?"
Well, obviously she didn't put the sock in his room. Cause she wasn't the one unpacking his bag and she didn't put any clothes in his drawer.
WHOOPS
Sorry, I love being sarcastic.
Anyway, she nodded her head and the man sighed and threw the sock onto her bed. "Does that look like a sock I would wear? Make a mental note. Those socks belong to your grandpa, not me." And walked out of the room.
She knew that if Roku were here, then a lot of people would have already been socked in the chin right now.
Now doing her homework, Tohru sat down, trying to figure out what human nails, and shark teeth had in common.
"Tohru! Can you come down here for a second?" her aunt yelled from the kitchen.
"Uh, yeah, sure!" she yelled back, and quickly ran downstairs. When she didn't slip into the wall when she went down the flight of steps, her heart panged a bit. Remembering from the Sohma House, that almost every day, she would go down those flight of steps, and somehow, no matter what, slip and fall into the wall.
She blamed the last 3 steps.
"Tohru, be a dear, and get me the saucers, please?" she asked, multitasking by stirring soup, while also taking chicken out of the oven. "Right!" Tohru responded.
When she went to the usual spot, the dishes weren't there. Her aunt noticed this and sighed. She went towards the top cupboard, and pulled out a gigantic saucer. "For future reference, we keep our saucers here, not over there."
A memory of her getting a saucer out of the-
(OK, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S CALLED, AND I HAVE NO INTERNET ACCESS RIGHT NOW WHATSOEVER. (until I post this chappy) SO, I'M GONNA CALL IT…A DROBE. DEAL WITH IT. IT'S THE MIX OF A WARDROBE, AND…and…uh…)
Drobe, with Yuki smiling beside her made her heart flutter in her small chest.
She sighed and walked back upstairs grudgingly to find her cousin sitting on the bed. "Glad to see you've picked you're crap. Now, clean my side. " she said sassily, while standing up, and walking towards the door. "I swear, there is no point in getting a bigger house, if I'm gonna share my room, with a brat. "
Yep…
Many people would have been socked in the chin.
(I WANTED TO END THE CHAPTER RIGHT HERE, BUT THEN I FELT LIKE IT WAS DRAGGING IT ON, SO YOU'RE GONNA SIT TIGHT, AND WATCH THE WHOLE EPISDOE. AREN'T I SWEAT?!)
Tohru sat in her room, looking at the beautiful shining moon. For some odd reason, a memory of her childhood came into mind…
Flashback
A young Tohru and Roku sat in their mother's car, eagerly awaiting to wherever they were going. "Where we going momma?" they asked repeatedly during the drive. "It's a surprise!" she sang and continued to drive.
A few minutes later, they were in front of a tattoo shop. "OOOH! MOMMA, MOMMA, THAT MAN LOOKS REALLY STRONG!"Roku yelled, pointing at a guy looking their way. The man puffed out his chest in male pride and walked over towards them. "Smart kid you got there." He said, before walking out the door with a big smile on his face.
Tohru smiled brightly when her mother showed the twins to tattoo samples. "Ok, you two have to pick. Which one wants a sun, and which one wants a moon?" she said, smiling. The twins looked at each other before pointing at the one they both wanted.
"I WANT MOON!" she cried.
"I WANT SUN!" he cried louder.
Kyoko blinked rapidly before dropping the bomb.
"Why?"
Roku stepped up first, seeing Tohru was about to talk. "First of all, the sun is bright, like me, I make everyone smile, but sometimes I make people angry, like the sun, I'm always first, like the sun, and when I'm angry, everyone has to feel my wrath, like the sun!"
Tohru pushed her brother outta the way before stepping up and saying why she wanted to the moon. "I'm awesome, like the moon, I've got a gazillion friends, like the moon, I'm never alone, like the moon-"
"Stupid that's the same thing." Roku said.
She chose to ignore this. "And even though my light isn't that bright, and I get my light from the sun, I try to shine people's way outta the darkness, like the moon!" she smiled brightly, finishing her speech.
It was silent.
Before Roku spoke up.
"The moon is stupid."
The two proceeded to attack each other with much force. Their mother stomped her foot, and they immediately stopped. "Ok, now, you two are gonna wait right here."
They waited, and even though they were fighting just a few seconds ago, they started to talk about school, their dad, (he is alive right now) and food!
Their mom came back with something that looked really, really sharp. Tohru stepped behind Roku, who looked like he wasn't scared, but was shivering in the inside.
"M-Mommy, what's that?" Tohru asked, poking her brown head from behind Roku. "Ok Roku, you first!" their mom said, grabbing her son's hand
Kyoko stabbed the sun looking shape cutter into Roku's right hand. Then, proceeded to paint it delicately with something called; "PERMA-PAINT, NEVER GETS OFF! EVER!"
After 5 minutes, she was done, and Roku's sun looked awesome. Tohru gasped as Roku stood, examining his now cool arm. "CO-" Tohru shoved him outta the way, and put her arm in, waiting for the pain to start and finish. Kyoko smiled, and did the same thing she did to her as she did to Roku, except used a moon, and did the left hand.
"Ok! Now I can finally tell you two apart!" she said, smiling proudly at her work. The twins were too obsessed with their hand to not notice their mom get into a fist fight with one of the strong guys in there.
Of course, she won.
End of Flashback
Tohru looked at her left hand slowly. The moon was still shining as if it was just yesterday she had painted. No one actually notices unless she sticks her hand into their face. The twins noticed some things when examining their marks. Roku's only glowed when it was daytime. Which meant the moment the moon went down and so on. Tohru's shinnied the moment the sun left the sky, and the moon was just peaking over the horizon. Sometimes, they would see the moon and the sun in the sky, if the sun was just slowly setting. It would glow faintly during that time too.
Maybe it was just their imagination. She didn't actually care, she knew it glowed, and that was all. She turned her head to see her cousin sleeping soundly in her bed. Then turned her head to look at the moon once again.
"Maybe…maybe we're all staring at the same moon, mom. Maybe, Kyo, Roku, Shigure, Yuki, maybe we're all staring at the moon.
And indeed.
They were.
(THERE ARE SOOOO MANY GOOD PLACES TO STOP THIS CHAPTER! BUT I CAN'T BE LAZY! I MUST TRUDGE ON, TO FINISH THIS DAMNED EPISODE!)
In school that day, she didn't see her brother at all. Which meant 2 things.
1.) He was skipping class again
2.) He was on a mission.
If anyone were to ask her, she would have picked the former.
She walked into school, her depression hanging in the air, making everyone she passed either
A.) Really, really, really, really, really sad.
B.) Really, really quiet
C.) Or C, just stared at her
It was weird really, everyone was staring at her, or just became unusually quiet. The administrators of the school noticed this, and they thought it was some kind of disease.
Tohru proved them wrong when she walked passed them, her aura mixing with their confused ones, and her depressing aura overpowering the confused. Therefore, making them equally silent/depressed as the students.
For some odd reason, Roku (mentally) gave her a nice, hard, SMACK to the head. She immediately realized that she can't be depressed (in school) and quickly covered it up with her happy nature.
She passed Hana and Uo. Hana immediately sensed something wrong with her waves, and asked her what was wrong. She gave them that fake smile, and said "Nothing's wrong, I'm fine!"
They both looked at her with eyes that said "I know you're lying." But said nothing. "Hey, where's that stupid boy you call a brother? He was supposed to play me today in Rich Man, Poor Man."
"I think he went on a mission."
Of course, being with the two ever since, they knew basically everything. From her deepest, darkest secret, to the stupidest thing that she's ever done.
So they knew about her curse
And they knew what Roku did.
"Hmm…wouldn't it be nice to become a Shinigami for once…" Hana said staring at the window, watching a butterfly pass.
"I guess it would." Tohru said nervously. Checking the clock, she told them a quick apology. "I'm sorry guys, but Ms. Williams wanted me in her office to help her with some things today! I'll see you two soon!"
The two girls waved at her, as she ran to the principal's office.
While running towards the office, she saw Kyo walking his lonely way to class. "Oh, Good Morning Kyo!" she said brightly. Kyo looked at her with a blush and walked off, grumbling a good morning.
So, I guess this is it…things just won't be the same anymore.
AND I'M ENDING IT HERE FOLKS- *GETS SMACKED WITH A RANDOM FISH* AHHHH! What the…fish? *TURNS AROUND WITH A GOOFY FACE BEFORE FALLING SPLATTOIE ON THE FLOOR*)
Now in jogging towards the office, she passed Yuki, who seemed absorbed with stapling something on the wall. She slowly walked her way towards it. "What's that?" she asked him, and Yuki stepped back, admiring his work. "It's a talent show coming up. Anyone in the school can audition and enter." Tohru smiled as she remembered last year's talent show. Last year, they had done a beautiful dance, and let the crowd interact with them. Therefore, somehow, they got in 2nd place. But, they were happy nonetheless. This time, Roku got to choose what act to do.
"Well, how has your home been treating you so far, Ms. Honda?"
"It's fine, actually, it's going great! It's nice to meet other members of my family that I have never seen." She said while smiling.
"Ah, well, I still have the top floor to do, well, I guess I'll see you later Ms. Honda. Goodbye."
Yeah…things really aren't the same anymore.
Once everyone had gotten home from school, Kyo burst through the door, and went to sulk on the roof.
"WELL HELLO KYO-"
"Can it, I'm not in the mood." He said with a deadly calmness.
"Hello Shigure, I'm fine.' Was that too much to ask?" he said, making his voice go a pitch higher than his normal one to try and match Kyo's octave.
Later in the night, Shigure had come home from work, and was famished.
"Tohru? Hello Tohru, I'm starving-" he stopped mid-sentence as he saw two boys stop what they were doing. One has stuck his head in the cupboard, while the other stuck his head in the fridge.
"Ah yes, I forgot. It seems like our flower has…withered away." He said, theatrically sad.
(A.N, Ok, I don't know if that's the actual word, but you know how they fake cry in the plays and stuff? Yeah. That's what I mean. Sorry. *BONKS THYSELF*)
"It sounds like you forgot on purpose." The two teens said darkly. Suddenly Shigure walked towards the fridge, then said "EUREKA!"
"What?" everyone asked.
"I found it. Tohru's stew and rice. I've been looking for it everywhere." He said, holding the pot for the small world to see.
"You were planning to eat it alone?" Kyo asked, cracking his knuckles. "Teehee! Of course not silly! I don't know how to warm this without burning the house down!" Shigure's eyes quickly turned to Yuki's. "YUKI, BE A DEAR AND HEAT THIS UP!"
"You're joking, right."
Shigure sighed and rolled his head. "KYO, WARM IT UP!"
"WHY THE HELL DO I HAVE TO DO IT!?"
"Cause at least you're not that stupid in the cooking department." Yuki said dully. "WHAT THE HELL DID YOU SAY! I'M NOT YOUR DAMN MAID!" Kyo said, running up to Yuki's face.
Suddenly, a guy in a tuxedo came inside the house. Everyone stared, wondering what the hell he was doing here.
He whipped out a violin, and started playing a sad song. "Ah well, let's just let this wonderful, heavenly thing called Tohru's stew and rice to go to waste. After all, Yuki's charcoal diet was easy to get used to, we can easily get used to it again." He sighed, and closed his eyes as the violin tux guy continued to play.
What they didn't notice was Kyo was already stirring away the goodness of Tohru's stew.
What they did notice was the tux violin guy trying to steal their television. Yuki saw this and chased quickly after him, kicking his midget ass back home.
"This looks horrible."
"THEN WHY DON'T YOU TRY TO MAKE IT BETTER NEXT TIME, HUH?!" Kyo countered back, slamming his fists on the table.
"Oh boys, stop fighting. We thank the gods for this wonderful food Tohru has made for us." And Shigure clapped his hand, the boys followed.
Once finishing their prayers, (with Shigure praying that Kyo didn't put rat poison into his rice.) they ate.
"AHHH….HEAVEN!" Shigure said, his eyes going far and distant.
Kyo and Yuki said nothing, but silently ate the heavenly dinner.
Kyo had gone to the roof to sulk as usual.
"You suck."
"Yeah, guess I've really been slacking off…"
He said nothing, as he continued to look off towards the horizon.
"Tohru, can you come down here for a minute please?" her aunt called her from whatever she was doing upstairs, which was currently studying for a test that was coming up.
"Sure! Be right there!" she yelled, running down the stairs, yet again feeling disappointment when she didn't kiss the wall.
( A DISHWASHER AND A WARDROBE! THAT'S WHAT A DROBE IS! *looks at story* Oh, wrong place to talk, huh?)
When she got into the kitchen, her extended family were all there. "Um…hey guys, what's going on-"
"I was hearing that you lived with 3 guys while the renovation was up. True, or untrue?" Tohru blinked rapidly, but nodded slowly. The woman sighed and put down her papers. "If you didn't know already, our son has always wanted to become a police man. If any of his family members were to have a criminal record, then as you can see, that would be a big problem."
"Wow, they still do those?" her daughter asked, and her mother nodded.
"Woah…three men…must have been a lot of fun, huh Tohru?"
Tohru said nothing, her eyes going blank, just like they always did when she was a child. They would always go blank when someone accused her of something, or called her things she knew that her mother would wipe her mouth with soap if she said it.
Tohru didn't answer, still staring at him blankly.
"Woah, no way! You were shacking them up?"
( I have no idea what this means. In any way/shape/or form. I don't know at all. If it means something racist, or sexiest, please tell me.)
"I bet she was. So, how did it feel Tohru? Tell us how it felt when they-" his sentence was stopped short when her Grandpa came and slapped him on the face. "G-Grandpa?" her aunt said astonishingly. Tohru's eyes came back to focus on her surprised Uncle's face.
"Tohru, I'm sorry. They're just disagreeable folks by nature." He said. "HEY, WAIT, I'M NOT DISAGREEABLE!" her cousin yelled, as Tohru walked out of the kitchen with her grandpa.
"You know, you don't have to put up with this. You don't have to stay here and put up with this. You can go somewhere else. Be free."
Tohru's eyes widened in accusation. "A-Are you telling me t-to…"
He laughed like Santa Claus again. "No, no, no, I'm not trying to kick you out. It's just that, if you have somewhere else you want to be, then you should go. You know, your mother was not the woman to sit around in a place where she was crushed. She always loved being out where she could spread her arms wide, and spin around until she was so dizzy, that she fell. Your father would agree."
"M-My father?"
"Mhmm. So if there's somewhere you want to be, you can go.
The old man smiled with sweet remembrance. Tohru was too busy looking at the floor to notice.
(OH HERE IT COMES. TURN ON MEMORY FOR YOU)
"B-But that's not right! How can I be anything other than grateful for what I have? I've been blessed with a mother who loved me, a brother who cares for me, two best friends, Hana and Uo, who always have my back. What more could I possibly want, I already have so many wonderful people in my life that care for me…There are so many people who have been so kind to me. Yuki, Kyo and the others…and you? You Grandpa, have given me a place at your table, a roof over my head, I should feel like the luckiest girl in the world."
The dam broke.
And the tears fell.
Slowly and steadily making their way down her cheek.
Before quickening up their pace, and making a trail for the other tears to follow.
"I-I have so much to be thankful for right now, right here…so…where else would I rather be? Except…I didn't think…didn't think that leaving Yuki and the others would make…would make me so…lonely. "
"There was still so much I still wanted to learn about all of them. I wanted us to go on eating our meals like a family, or talk about so many things…the truth? The truth of it is that I didn't want to leave them at all. It felt like I belonged there…like…I actually belonged somewhere." She covered her eyes with her arm to try and stop the rapid tears from falling.
"I wanted to stay in that house, With Yuki, Kyo, Roku, Shigure…I…"
"I wanted to stay…"
"Then in that case…" everything around her stopped, and her harsh breathing stopped immediately. "Why not come home?" Yuki said, smiling in front of her. "Y-Yuki?"
A sudden hand grabbed her fragile head. "Come on. Let's go." A gruff voice demanded.
"K-Kyo- Hey, wait, I need my things, uh…" she sighed and gave up, letting him carry her wherever he deemed fit.
"I hope it's no trouble, but can I get Ms. Honda's things?"
"W-Wait just a moment, who are you people? What's going on?" her aunt asked, signaling her daughter to get behind her.
"Ahh, I see."
All eyes turned towards Tohru's uncle who had a smug look on his face. "These must be the guys the little bitch was shacking up with."
Yuki's eyes were hidden behind his purple bangs. Walking slowly towards him, his height was noted, but he had the anger of a girl on her first period.
"Don't you ever talk about Ms. Honda that way again….you low life." He said, and walked upstairs to get Tohru's things.
For a second time that night, the family was surprised.
*the author is still knocked out, yet somehow is typing this story*
"Um, Kyo, where are we going?" Tohru asked, not wanting to get her neck have a crick in the morning, she followed him. "What the hell do you mean; 'where are we going?' WE'RE GOING HOME!" he yelled, before dragging her off again.
"Umm…did you…"
"Yeah. Every word." He stopped walking, and stood near a bus stop. "We should wait for rat boy over here I guess."
The air was tense and quiet, before Kyo spoke up again.
"Ya know, you shouldn't keep doing that."
Tohru snapped her head up to look at him with those wonderful big blue orbs.
( I love that word…orbs…)
"It's not alright for people to be asking for things all the time. Ya know? But I guess you're an exception. Ask for things, get angry, cry, laugh, whatever. Speak your mind out, everyone's gonna listen."
"W-Why'd you come back?" she asked quietly. Kyo darted his eyes towards her, and back to the tree bark. "W-Well…it was so quiet in the house, and I got pissed off at everything! And when I tried to figure it out, and I couldn't it pissed me off even more!"
"I decided to go after you, but then rat boy had to step in, he wanted to come to. I'm telling ya, it was hell on the way to your Grandpa's house. Your directions didn't help very much either."
The air was silent again.
HEY!
I SAID WAS SILENT!
Tohru's cries flitted towards Kyo's ears and he quickly ran over to see what was wrong.
I was so happy when you smiled
"K…Kyo?"
Your smile broke through the clouds of gray.
"Yeah, what is it?"
Far from the sunny days that lie in sleep…
"Can we…can we go home?"
Waiting with patience for the spring…
"Home?"
"Yeah…home…Oh, there's Yuki!"
When the flowers will bloom renewed again
She waved her arms at him. "Come on Yuki! Let's go…let's go…home."
Meanwhile, an invisible Roku carrying the soul of a little girl, was walking towards the Doors of Death. For once, his face didn't look so uptight…it looked… at peace.
And…
He was…
Smiling.
Knowing there's more beyond the pain of today!
As they walked home, Roku and Shigure stood at the door. Roku with a huge smile/smirk on his face. "Told ya." And walked away. She huffed. "Thanks for the hi." She muttered under her breath before walking into the house they all called home.
Even though the scars of yesterday, remain!
You can keep on living as much as your heart, believes!
Everyone was smiling, laughing, and… they were just… happy.
We can't be born again…
Although you can change.
Let's stay together, always!
Roku walked into the classroom with his sister locked in an headlock. The room was very, very silent. No one made any noise, as everyone's head slowly turned towards the door.
Tohru and Roku had similar matched smiles on their faces. It slowly turned into a frown when the class was…
Well…
Quiet…
"Tohru, I think we're in the wrong class."
"Me too, come on, let's check." They slowly backed out of the door to check if it was the right class. When they came back in, everything was lively again. The girls were gossiping, nerds talking about games, and the football guys were talking about sports.
Both had similar smiles as they were dragged away by their friends.
Mom…I truly am the luckiest girl alive…
OH MY GLOB. THAT WAS LIKE…THIS CHAPTER CAME OUT EXACTLY HOW I WANTED IT. THIS IS THE LONGEST CHAPTER I HAVE EVER WRITTEN CAUSE I GOT KICKED OUTTA SCHOOL (SPRING BREAK) AND NOW I HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO WITH MY LIFE THEN DO SPRING BREAK PACKETS (DONE!) AND WRITE STORIES!
Anyway, this is probably my most favorite chapter of them all, and as you can see, I had much inner turmoil as I tried to decide where to stop it. So yeah, I'm glad that this chapter isn't on 1,000 words.
Exact words: 5,037
Aren't you guys proud of me? ( IK YOU ARE. ) ^_~
ANYWAY, THAT QUESTION WAS PRETTY DANG HARD, WASN'T IT, LET ME PUT THIS QUESTION, BEFORE I FORGET!
Question: What does Tohru's name mean in Japanese?
Ok, SO, the last bonus question was:
What is the hostess lady's robe color at the hot springs?
ANSWER: It was actually greenish blue *mostly green, but I heard from my friend that the hostess lady wore blue in the manga…so…I'm going with her word.*. .-. so, CONGRATS TO THOSE WHO GOT IT RIGHT!
