A.N. Okay yeah, this is the last chapter. So, enjoy it, and you'd all better review!!
"Are we safe yet?" a soft voice whispered n the darkness of the closet. Tohru sighed lightly, and she reached around to feel for Bill, or, rather, Fumei. Her hand found his, and she took it, and gripped it tightly. She couldn't see him in the pitch black of the closet, but somehow she could tell he was nodding.
Biting her lip, and mustering up all her courage, she found the knob of the closet door. Twisting it slowly, she turned it all the way, and with a burst of energy, she pushed the door open with all the power she could pluck up.
Light streamed into the small space, half blinding its occupants. Tohru blinked a couple times, as her eyes adjusted to the light, and then looked out at the room that lay before herself and Fumei. There was her bed, her wardrobe, and where the teddy bears had been before, was her desk once more. He walls were their usual color, the floors made of wood. Everything was as it should have been.
Tears sprung to Tohru's eyes, as she realized she was finally home. She gasped, and let the tears flow, as she dashed from the closet to look around her room. She disregarded that the floors and ceilings were old, and may cave in, and she leapt onto her bed. She bounced around on it, calling out wildly, as the tears streamed down her face.
Her light figure bounced high in the air, and she touched the ceiling. "I'm home, I'm home! Kyo! Yuki! Shigure! I'm back, it's alright, and I'm okay!" she screamed for all the world to hear. There was the immediate sound of heavy footsteps coming from all over the mansion. Yelps, shouts, and loud calls could be heard from down the hall.
Suddenly, the door burst open, and Kyo skidded in. His eyes darted to the bed, where Tohru was still bouncing in delight.
"TOHRU!" he shouted, and she turned to see him. A mass of feelings exploded within her at once. Her heart soared and grew to an enormous size filled with love, hope, happiness, etc.
"KYO!" she screamed, jumping off the bed at him, and landing in his arms. "I'm home! Were you worried about me?" she whispered, tears sparkling in her eyes. She realized for the first time that he had a couple tears as well, on his cheeks.
"Very," he whispered back, kissing her. She buried her face in his shoulder, and cried, her shoulders shaking with the sobs of happiness. She heard two others burst through the doors behind them, and she got down from Kyo's arms (with a slight feeling of regret) and turned to look at the two others.
"I'm back! Did ya' miss me?" she laughed.
"Tohru!" both Shigure and Yuki pulled her into bear hugs, and began chattering at her and asking her questions quickly and un-distinguishably.
"Wait a second!" the young maid interrupted. "I have somebody that I want you all to meet!" Tohru remembered Fumei for the first time. She walked over to the closet, where Fumei was standing uncertainly in the doorway. "Come on, Fumei, come meet my family!" Tohru grasped his wrist and dragged him from the closet.
All three men looked shocked for a second, and then Kyo growled. "Hwa!" he exclaimed angrily, taking three strides over to where Tohru and Fumei were standing, then placing himself roughly between them. "What do you think you're doing in a closet in Tohru's bedroom?" he growled.
"Kyo, leave him alone for a second, let me explain!" Tohru placed a small hand on Kyo's shoulder. He turned to look at her uncertainly.
"Fumei helped me escape, and in turn, I found his name, and helped him escape!" she told Kyo, hugging his arm with a smile.
"Oh," Kyo shrugged and turned red. "Whatever, then. I just thought, well, um," Kyo coughed, signaling that he was done speaking, and that if they all didn't get the message then that was just was too bad for them.
"Well, don't you want to hear my story?" Tohru laughed, glad to be home and with her 'family' again. Once more the Sohma cousins erupted with questions, and she laughed with a big smile on her face.
"How about we go downstairs, and I'll make you guys breakfast, then I'll tell you all about my adventure?" Tohru suggested in her kind, bubbly voice. "I'm sure you haven't eaten a decent meal in days!"
"A decent meal? Rat face refuses to eat anything that Shigure makes," Kyo began.
"And the stupid cat here has been to sick with worrying about you to eat," Yuki shrugged as explanation for Kyo's missed meals.
"Aww, you were worried about me, Kyo-kun?" Tohru teased. Kyo turned red again, but gave a single nod, looking at the floor. Tohru giggled at them all, and then dragged the three of them out of her room, Fumei following close behind.
"Wait, rat face? Stupid cat? What's up with the weird nicknames for each other?" he asked wonderingly.
"Oh, you'll know soon enough!" Tohru smiled, as the door to her room closed.
And all over Japan, there were the joyful sprits of children, being reunited with their parents, and departed family. The afterlife would forever tell stories of one brave girl who freed a house full of long lost children….
THE END
