Chapter Five- Fun at the Park

"Um.... " Momiji said thinking. "I want terriyaki chicken!!!" he said excited.

"Terriyaki it is then!" she exclaimed smiling

"Yeeeeeeah!!! I can't wait" he shouted jumping up and down.

"Do you want to help me make it?" she asked smiling.

"Yeah!! Lets do it!" he said in his bubbly voice.

"Okay but first we have to get the dishes clean. Can't very well eat without something to eat on." she said laughing.

"Yeah your right. Let's hurry up and get it done fast!!" with that he bounded off to the kitchen leaving her in the dust.

She laughed and smiled to herself. That Momiji-kun... She thought to herself.

She made her way downstairs to see that all the dishes were already done. Kyo-kun... she thought to herself. Soon afterward she could hear. "Kyo's got the hots this evening!!!"

"You better shut your mouth before I-" Kyo started angrily

Kyo was interruppted by Tohru. "Please don't!!!" Tohru pleaded "He doesn't mean anything by it!" she continued.

"Yeah okay..." he said his voice softening slightly.

"C'mon Momiji-kun!" Let's get started on dinner.

"Okey dokey!!!" he responded excited.

They started making dinner and they were laughing and making jokes just like any other time. Then in about hour and fifthteen minutes they were done.

"Um..Kyo-kun could you help set the table please?" she asked smiling.

"Yeah okay." he said getting the plates.

"I've got the forks and spoons!!!" Momiji announced happily.

Not long after Momiji said that did Yuki and Shigure come threw the door. "Yummm! Do I smell an angel's cooking???" Shigure asked maybe a little too eagerly. "I swear if you want me to hit you again keep going." Yuki warned giving him a death look. Shigure didn't need to be reminded again that night.

Finally everything was ready and they were all sitting down.

Shigure got done early and went to do... Well.. Whatever Shigure normally does. Everyone else was probably a little more than halfway done when Momiji had something he wanted to say but he still had a mouth full of food so instead of talking with his mouth full he started making noices and hand gestures. Going along with Momiji's sherade Tohru started doing the same thing. Kyo and Yuki just stared at the two of them in utter amazement and quite frankly did not know what to say.

Finally they had swalled and were finally able to talk. They looked at each other and both started to burst out laughing. Momiji had a feeling when he was laughing with Tohru. He was happy only it was something more than that he counldn't quite put his finger on it.

"So are you guys finally normal now or did you return to your home planet without telling everyone?? Yuki asked laughing.

Tohru was the first one to catch her breath. "Oh my!"she explained taking a deep breath. "Okay! I think I'm back now. That was yet another good laugh." she said smiling.

"So you want help with the dishes?" Yuki asked smiling.

"Its okay I can handle it." she responded smiling "Besides that you have a test to study for!!" she added.

"I was hoping you wouldn't know about that." Yuki said with a slighly mischievous smile.

"Seriously its okay. I'm sure Momiji will help if I really need it." she said smiling

"Alright I guess I'll go study then." he said unenthusiastically.

"You can do it Sohma-kun! Good luck!!!" Tohru cheered

"Thank you. I'll do my best." he said smiling. For you... he thought to himself. As he watched her affectionetly when she was't looking.

Momiji and Tohru were both doing dishes. While Tohru was mindlessly scrubbing a plate Momiji could sense something was up.

"Hey Tohru-chan? Is there something on your mind?" he asked smiling.

"Well I guess I'm just tired a lot happened today. Don't worry though okay?" she responded smiling warmly.

"Welll... Okay. Hey!!! There's still some light out did ya wanna go to the park with me??? PPPLEEEEEEEEASE!!!!!" he begged with his big eyes and his voice all of sudden going really high.

"Well okay. We can't stay for too long though." Tohru said smiling.

"Yippee!!!! I'm so excited!!" he said in his bubbly voice.

They both got done with the dishes and Tohru told Shigure that they were going to the park and that they would be back in a little bit. Finally they came to the park they were getting to.

"Yeeeeah we're here!!!" momiji shouted excited.

"I know this park!"Tohru exclaimed.

"Really?? You came here too? That's funny I remember I'd come here with Papa all the time. He said him and Mama would come here all the time but when Mama forgot about me we just stopped coming all of sudden." he said his voice slightly quiteing.

Tohru could feel tears begin to prick at the back of her eyes.

"Oh no Tohru!!! I'm sorry. Did I make you sad again?? I'm so sorry okay?? Please don't be sad." he said. Momiji could feel his stomach plummet and his chest ready to explode. What in the world was going on?? It was never like this before.

"Its okay Momij-kun. You don't need to worry I'm fine." Tohru responded smiling "Lets go on the swings!!!"she added excited.

"Okay!!! I bet I can beat you there Tohru!!" he shouted feeling relieved that she said that and then taking off like a rocket.

"No fair cheater! You go a head start!!" she shouted back taking off after him with one of her trademark smiles.

"You'll never catch me now!!!" Tohru heard him say distantly with fits of laughter in between.

Finally Tohru caught up with Momij and ended up tieing with him just bearly.

"Haha!! Its a tie!" she said triumphantly with a big smile.

"I demand a rematch!!" he responded playfully sticking his tounge out at her.

"Well I have a better idea how about we take turns pushing each other on the swings and go home its getting kind of late." she said smiling.

"You just don't want to because you know I'll beat you." he said laughing getting on the swing first.

"Is that a challenge??" she questioned pushing him.

"I don't know maybe it is maybe it isn't" he responded with a sly smile.

"I guess I'll see you at home then Momiji-kun!"Tohru said grining taking off like a speeding bullet.

"Hey!! Only I'm allowed to have the head starts!" he called after her.

After awhile he had caught up to her just when they were almost there and sure enough it was a tie.

"Looks like its a tie again Momiji-kun!" Tohru saidgrining and laughing.

"Yeah yeah I just let you tie with me!" he said playfully sticking his tounge out at her again.

They both went inside and Tohru went up to her room. "That was really fun mom. I really needed it. I'm so lucky to have someone like Momiji-kun as a friend. He's a really awsome guy isn't he?" she said smiling to herself. Suddenly she could hear distantly "I swear every single time you open your mouth it pisses me off!!" I guess some things never change huh mom? she thought as she laughed to herself and then went downstairs to play the peace maker.

"Momiji-kun its getting kind of late. Are you expected home any time soon?" she asked looking at the clock.

"Oh yeah you're right!! I'd better be heading home. I had a fun time at the park Tohru-chan! I'll see ya later okey dokey???" Momiji said in his bubbly voice.

"I'm glad you had a good time Momiji-Kun! Bye bye take care!" she called after him.

Momiji nodded and waved goodbye. On the way home he played back the evening in his mind and there was something he really didn't understand. Why was he hurting so much when he had accidently made her sad? What was that feeling when they were laughing together during dinner? Suddenly Momiji stopped dead in tracks.

His eyes widened and his hand covered his mouth while he gasped. "Could it be... That I- That I- Love her??" he whispered to himself.
