Going back?
Tohru sat at the gates of her old school, no, it was her new school now. She was so happy, even if her name was changed. It was a relief to get out of that house for a couple hours! Akito must be really worried about Yuki if he let her out or maybe he just doesn't like me. I can work on that.
"Tohru, you seemed to get along well with Yuki this evening." Akito smirked. Tohru stopped in her tracks. She was on the way back to her room, but stopped dead in her tracks. The tone of Akito's voice scared her a little, but it definitely didn't scare her away. It wasn't like she had a choice of running away. The curse would have stopped her anyway. "I'm worried about Yuki at school."
"Well, Kyo's there, right?" Tohru smiled.
"I would never trust that cat with anything, especially my dear rat's life. Besides, I figure he'll find a way out of the rules somehow. It is what the cat is known for anyway. I need a person I can trust," Akito was coming close to her and Tohru backed away, "and I know you will never lie to me. If you do, well, I can tell anyway, you are such a bad liar, and you know the punishment."
"I'm glad you trust me Akito." It was the polite thing to say and it proved she was getting somewhere, even if Akito was just joking or being cynical.
"Anyway, go to Yuki's school and report anything strange to me. Oh, and don't get caught by your former friends. Hatori said they would be no problem to deal with." Was Hatori lying? No, it wasn't possible, was it? Did he want her out this badly?
Tohru sat outside the classroom, waiting to be introduced. She was afraid that Uo and Saki would realize right from the start that she was Tohru, their best friend. She wasn't worried about anyone else. "Tohru, you may come in now." Tohru walked into the classroom and felt two pairs of eyes on her. Saki and Uo were suspicious already. "This is Tohru Souma. Please welcome him to the class. Why don't you sit next to Yuki?"
"So they are related." She heard one girl comment.
"Hello Yuki." Tohru waved.
"Tohru? I'm glad you are here. So you finally got out, huh?" Yuki asked. "What, did Akito send you to our house?"
"No, he just sent me to this school. I have to go back to the main house later." Tohru replied. She was surprised she didn't sound sad. The main house was like a prison. There was no one to talk to, but everyone was watching her. She should hate it. Why was it almost fond to her?
"I get it; he sent you here to spy on me. His plan is working." Yuki sighed. He looked really sad. "Never mind; I'm being rude, aren't I? At least you are here."
Then someone stormed into the room. "Kyo, be on time next time." The teacher complained. "Does this have to happen every day?"
"If it wasn't for that damm..." Kyo stopped when he looked at Tohru. "I'll be on time next time."
"Geez, what is our teachers' problem?" Uo complained.
"I really don't know. When did he get here?" Kyo yelled.
"That isn't very polite." Uo said sternly. When did Kyo and Uo get so close? Something was going on with Uo. This was strange for her to make friends like this. Then Tohru saw it. It was a faint smile. Could it be that Uo had a crush on Kyo? That could be a problem. "Tohru, why are you so red?"
"Nothing." Oh no, does she know? I didn't mean to intude, I promise you!
"So, your name is Tohru, isn't it?" Saki smiled. "Your waves are different, just like Kyo's and Yuki's. Its almost like they are inhuman."
"Come on Saki, don't scare the guy on the first day. By the way, I'm Uo." Uo smiled. "And this is my friend Saki." Saki just nodded. Uo had that look on her face that she either knew something or was up to something. Neither was good for Tohru.
Later at the end of the day:
"Bye!" Tohru waved as she stepped into a car at the front gate. It was just as impressive as the one she was first brought to the Souma house in, so everyone was staring at her. "Hello Akito."
"So, how was it?" Akito asked.
"Oh, about Yuki and Kyo right?" Tohru thought. "I guess I'll give you everything on them." Tohru knew that she couldn't lie, but she wanted to now.
"Tohru, don't keep anything from me." Akito smirked. He could tell she wanted to hide something.
"Yuki hasn't changed at all. I can tell since the last time I was there at school. He is very popular, but he hardly talks to anyone. Kyo, on the other hand, has changed. Uo I think has changed him for the better." Akito looked furious. "She doesn't know about him though. I think Uo has a little bit of a crush on Kyo."
"Crushing on a monster; how stupid." Akito replied.
"I think it is cute." Uo was smiling. Tohru was glad to see her so happy. At least Kyo was taking her place while she was gone.
That was the wrong thing to say. I really shouldn't use the word 'cute' in front of Akito. He doesn't like it that much. Tohru felt herself being slammed into the side of the car. "Hatori, I need you to come back here. Tohru has hurt herself." Hatori quickly pulled over and came to her side (he was the driver). Tohru felt the same beating of her heart. What does that mean?
