Tohru's Problem- Words out

The three girls must have memorized their lines beforehand because they spoke in total unison the whole time.

"We thought it was funny how much time you were spending with the Sohmas," they emphasized Sohmas with respect, "but we never dreamt that you were living with them!"

They all three started to cross the room to Tohru, all of them with their hands raised for slapping. Yuki, as always, came up with one of his smart plans for escaping trouble. Bursting into tears he begged,

"Please girls, don't hurt her! It's my fault that she is here!" they all turned from Tohru, and looked wordily at Yuki, afraid they had upset him.

"Yuki…" they started.

"Please don't take her, don't……I need her!" he grabbed his hair on each side with his hands and started to pull it. His eyes were huge and he was acting like ritsu.

"It's all my fault," he said collapsing on the floor and crying, "I deserve to die for what I have brought upon Tohru."

Yuki ran up the stairs, followed by the three girls (now EXTREMELY worried about what they have done to Yuki), Tohru, Shigure (who was trying his hardest not to laugh), and Kyo (who hadn't caught on and thought Yuki was being truthful). Yuki ran through the halls to his room and crawled through the window to the ledge outside the window. They followed, and when they got out there they saw Yuki on the very topmost point of the roof.

"Tohru," he said, smiling down at her crazily, "I'm sorry for what I have done. I hope that I can make this better."

Tohru got what he was doing and was being a good actress, at least for her. "Oh Yuki," she said like a lover, bringing tears to her eyes, clutching her fists between her breasts.

The fan club girls were mortified. Prince Yuki was going to kill himself on their behalf! As he lifted his foot toward the edge, they had had quite enough.

"YUKI!" – Minagawa Motoko shouted, "we will leave her alone! Just please come down from there!"

Yuki hesitated a moment, then withdrew his foot from the air. He sat down stubbornly on the apex of the roof, crossing his legs and arms childishly, with a pout slung across his face.

"You'll have to excuse him," Shigure whispered to the girls, "he's bipolar and hasn't had his pills today."

The girls huddled and after a minute or two came to a conclusion.

"Yuki, if you come down we won't harm her in any way now or ever." Yuki immediately perked up. "Okay," he said, flashing his true prince simile, eyes gleaming, sending the three fan club girls into romantic fantasy tangents. He slowly made his way down off the roof.

"Thank you girls for sparring Tohru, but," his expression changed quickly, "GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!" they slipped through the window and were running down the halls in a blink of the eye.

XXXXXXXXXXXX

After the girls had left they all four went down to the kitchen. They were all laughing widely, all except for Kyo, who was still in total confusion. 'How long has Yuki been suicidal?' Kyo thought to himself, 'how deeply in love is he to want to die for Tohru's behalf?'

"You know Yuki, now that everyone knows that you are suicidal and that you are madly in love with Tohru, they are going to treat you both weird at school."

They stopped laughing at once and all stared at Kyo. They had not expected him to not understand.

"Kyo," Shigure teased, "Yuki was joking. He really isn't suicidal, but he might be madly in love with Tohru." Kyo, stunned into silence, just stared at him, they all broke up laughing again.

"Yuki, you may have some of the same qualities as Aaya hidden deep down inside of you. And your acting! May I have an autograph before you fly into fame and fourtune?" Yuki pushed his chair over for sarcasm but continued to laugh.

"Well, Yuki, your acting was done very well." Tohru stated, "It was truly believable that you were possibly bipolar."

"Yeah," said Yuki, "but I did nothing as good as bringing tears to my eyes as you did Miss Honda."

She blushed and giggled, "well, this had been a scary… and funny night for us all, how about some dinner?"

After supper, Tohru was trying to find a place to think about what she was going to do about her job situation. Kyo was up on the roof to avoid any more teasing about being fooled by the rat, and if she went upstairs Yuki would probably want to talk. 'The garden,' she thought to herself.

It took her about ten minutes to walk to the garden. When she got there she sat down o the rock in the middle of the garden and began to cry. She didn't know how long she had been crying when memories from a few nights before came flooding into her head. She tried in vain to force them out. She pushed down the sock that she know kept pulled up high all the time and examined the marks she had left behind right above the ankle. When she saw those three marks, she got an urge to pick at them. The top one started to bleed first, and more than before. She freaked out, afraid it would get on her sock and they would find out. She felt a hand on her shoulder and looked up to see Yuki with huge eyes, tears flowing out. Ashamed, she tried to hide them, but it was to late, he had seen.

"T….t…Tohru?" he tried to say something, but he just couldn't. He was crying so much he couldn't see, and she was too ashamed to be crying. She leaned into his shoulder as she had done earlier.

"Yuki, I'm so sorry."
