Welcome To My Reality

Chapter 2

Chocolatey brown hair blew slightly in the wind, as cottoncandy spun lips laughed. Her dark eyes surveyed the area, hoping to catch a glimpse of familiar silver hair. A tug on her uniform sleeve alerted her to her friends, as they sat calmly on the grass, happy to enjoy each others company." You seem distracted Tohru, is there something on your mind?" asked a red head.

Shiny red curls cascaded down her back, replacing the normal stick straight hair (courtesy of her boyfriend), spilling down her charcoal grey school blazer, and stopping at her black pleated skirt. Her knees peeked out from behind white knee-highs, covering her legs, as thick soled maryjanes innoccently stuck to her small feet. Tohru looked into her her friends face, a smile plastering itself onto her lips.

"No, nothing, I'm sorry, it's just that I was wondering where Yuki was." answered Tohru, her smile never faltering. A comforting arm wrapped itself around her waist, as though sensing her hidden distress. Tohru stared into the icy blue eyes of Kazuo Sohma, taking comfort in those deceptively cold depths. Kazuo snuggled his pale nose into Tohru's neck, slowly breathing in her scent."I'm just worried, that's all." Her eyes closed, hiding her easily read emotions.

Cold electric green eyes silently watched her, flickering softly like a cat's would."Yuki can take care of himself. came a cool reply. Tohru opened her eyes, looking into the electrically charged eyes, scanning the thin body, pale skin, and near white-blond hair.

"Besides, what could happen?" asked Uo, leaning back onto the grass, arms tucked leisurely against her head.

" A great many things, Arisa." Hana reprimanded softly, munching lightly on a chip.

Tohru watched them, a real smile forming on her lips. She silently locked away these precious moments, treasuring them in her heart, taking in every detail in her mind's eyes. Hands took her sight, shutting out the light, capturing the darkness. She franticly tried to shake the hands away, hoping to regain the lost sight."It's alright," came a soothing voice," it's just me." He whispered directly into her ear, tickling her senses.

" Yuki! "came Tohru's nearly stunned reply, her voice shaking slightly. Yuki slowly pulled his hands away from her eyes, moving them, instead, to capture her in a hug from behind. Tohru relaxed, leaning her weight against him. Yuki placed his legs around her's leaning leisurely against a tree."Where were you?" She snuggled into his chest, burying her nose into his crisp white button-down shirt, breathing in his earthy scent.

"Waiting for you in building A." Yuki answered easily, gently kissing Tohru's temple. Tohru shot up , franticly looking into Yuki's silver eyes.

"I'm sorry, Yuki, I totally forgot." gasped Tohru, looking worriedly up at him, bracing herself against his chest. Yuki laughed, smiling down at her affectionately.

"Don't worry, Haru kept me company." explained Yuki, gently ruffling her chocolate brown hair. Tohru looked down, silently scolding herself against her forgetfulness. " Hey, look at me." he said, gently lifting her chin."It's human nature to forget, alright, don't beat yourself up about it."

Tohru nodded, once more snuggling into his embrace."You got in trouble, didn't you?" questioned Tohru, sighing slightly.Yuki didn't answer, he didn't need to, she already knew.
