"So Tohru," Hana-Chan passed Uo-Chan a cup of tea and began serving mine. "How have things been going?"
"Pretty well, actually!" I took my cup and sipped softly."Yuki took me to see the Sohma lake house! It was so beautiful. And Kyo-kun and I have very nice chats in the house"
The two girls gave each other a look, singling me out. Facing me again, they both gave me a smile and took all our garbage off the park table and into a metal trash can. I feel odd in a way, hanging out with them. Something seems so wrong and right at the same time. They know so much about me while I just know their names. How do I know these pretty girls? Did I meet them a long time ago and they now just want to talk? I don't even know what had happened to me before I woke up in a hospital surrounded by people! Coming back, Uo-chan started packing everything back into the basket and told me to come with them. I wonder where I'm going.
"Tohru, do you remember anything before meeting us in the hospital?" Uo-chan took my hand and Hana-chan led the way through the path of stone.
"All I see is black whenever I try to see passed the memories I have of these past two days. I don't even know who my parents are or how old I am"
"I don't wanna freak you out or anything," Uo-Chan squeezed my hand gently as if I were small and fragile."But you're 22 years old, and your mom is here."
Abruptly, we stopped dead in our tracks. A picture of the woman from my dream was infront of a grave titled "Kyoko Honda". She's my mom? Dropping to the floor, everything began to hurt. Tears leaked out of my tightly shut eyelids and a moan of sadness escaped my lips. Why is this happening?! What's going on in the world? I wish I could remember! Breaking out into full sobs, the girls embraced me tightly, crying themselves.
"I-I'm so sorry," I sniffed as I choked to regain my voice again."I didn't mean to cry like that. I just wish I could help you help me"
"Don't worry about it, Tohru." Uo-Chan got herself up and began helping us.
"Yes, Tohru," Hana-Chan reached for my shoulder and gave me a rare smile."We love you just the way you are. All you need to do is be yourself"
Be myself? Where have I heard that before?

Same Chapter Kyo's Story
Sitting on the rooftop, I starred blankly at the bright sky. Tohru filled every corner of my mind that it was becoming unbearable. The way she laughed, the way she smiled, the way she held her face when she was cooking. God when is the nightmare gonna stop!
The clouds shifted nicely as my mind began to settle with the fact that Tohru will never leave my head as long as things remain the same. I need to move things faster, but how?! Jumping off the roof, I landed with excellent grace. I still can't believe that since the curse has ended, I still have the ability to jump from high places and land beautifully. Entering the house, I started for my room to finish up the book.
Tossing myself onto my twin sized bed, I reach for my book and read aloud from where I left off. I don't have the best reading skills so my teachers told me to just read aloud so I could comprehend faster.
" 'Micheal, please! Please don't go! It wasn't like that! I swear it wasn't! How can you even think that I would do such a thing?! I love you Micheal!' Lynn pulled Micheal by the arm to take a look at her misty-eyed face.
Forever wasn't even a word to describe how long they simply gazed at each other for the right answers. Pulling her closer, Micheal pulged himself into the unknown and melt his fear and anxieties away by kissing her passionately. Tears formed and trekked down her blushing cheeks. Wrapping her arms around his muscular torso, she pulled back and heard him say,
'I love you, too.' " closing the book, I had a pretty good idea of what I should do when Tohru gets home.
