A/N: Okay so here's chapter 3. I wanted to bring Good old Shigure in pretty quickly, cause I really love his character! XD
If I'm not getting him quite right, let me know and I'll do my best to fix it.
Ch 3: The Dog and the Snake.
Tohru woke bright and early next morning with a smile on her face. She sat up in her warm, comfortable bed, the sunlight streaming through the window as she wrote her first entry for the assignment.
I dreamt of him last night. It was the same as always; him standing beside me, holding my hand. He pulled me close and hugged me tight. 'the curse is broken.' He whispered. And then, those 3 magic words. 'I love you.' But it was just a dream. I'm a rice ball in a fruits basket, and that's all I'll ever be.
She would have written more, but she heard someone moving around in the hallway and stuffed the pink notebook quickly into the drawer of her bedside cabinet.
"Shigure-san, is that you?" She called, knowing Kyo would be out running (or at least coming back from it) and Yuki would still be asleep.
"Yeah Tohru-kun, only me. I'm so hungry…"
"I'll fix you some breakfast, just give me a sec!" She said with a squeak, jumping out of bed and quickly dressing before hurrying to the kitchen.
He looked under her bed, and went through her closet, and found nothing. Giving up, he was about to leave the room when he spotted the drawer next to
her bed. He rushed over to it and rummaged through its contents. His eyes darted to the pink journal and held it up as he flipped to the first entry. His eyes scanned the page quickly.
"My, my Tohru-kun..." He muttered, grinning. "...It seems things just got interesting."
His thoughts were interupted when Tohru called for him.He dropped the journal back into the drawer, and fixed everything back to its place, then headed down to eat breakfast with a grin on his face.
After breakfast, Shigure slipped outside with his cell phone, dialling quickly.
"Aya! You'll never guess, It seems little Tohru has got a soft spot for a certain young jyunishi member."
On the other end of the phone line, the over dramatic man's eyes sparkled in excitement.
"Yuki-kun has finally won her over?"
"It would appear that way. How would you like to help me set them up?"
A/N: Okay, I seem to be incapable of writing decent-length chapters. But at least I update pretty often! I always like to focus on the positives, and one of those positive things is the amount of reviews I've had! Seriously you guys make my day, I love hearing from you. (special thanks go to Kyonkichi-san, for helping me out with various issues with my writing, It wouldn't be anywhere near as good without you!) Love Cyanide x
