Enjoy this new chapter! :)
When Sora accidentally walked into Yuki, she knew something was up. "I'm sorry Yuki!" She said apologetically.
"It's okay." Yuki stared at her for a minute. Sora felt extremely uncomfortable. "I've got to go." Then he ran off without another word. Sora watched him go, and she felt he was hiding something.
"That doesn't matter anyway." She thought. "I barely know him." Sora walked off, feeling a bit depressed. That was when she passed a boy. Sora couldn't help but stare at his orange hair. How in the world had he managed to get it that color? When the boy looked at Sora, he flinched and walked away. "Hey, how did you manage to get your hair that color?" Sora asked.
"None of your business." The boy snapped angrily as he passed her.
"How rude!" Sora said angrily. "It was just a simple question!"
Later that day, she told Arisa, Saki, and Tohru about what was happening to her. "I woke up in a hotel, and to make matters worse, it was a week later! I had been asleep for a whole week! Is that even possible?"
"That is strange," Arisa agreed.
"Perhaps you were knocked unconscious or something?" Sora shook her head.
"The last thing I remember I was at my father's house. There is no way I could go from there to the hotel." Tohru was being unusually silent.
"I don't know what to say. That's just so weird…" Arisa said, staring at her lunch.
"That isn't all. I met this girl named Kana. She was very nice to me, and offered to let me stay with her."
"Aww, that's nice." Saki said gently. Tohru looked at Sora in alarm.
"You mean Kana Sohma?"
"I don't know, she just told me her name was Kana." Tohru nodded and became silent again. "Do you know her or something?"
"No, not at all!" Tohru said quickly. Sora could tell Tohru was lying.
"Uh-huh," was all Sora said.
Tohru checked out a couple books at the library. She scolded herself about Sora. She shouldn't have panicked so much. That was when she received the call.
An hour later, Tohru walked to Shigure's house. Shigure was sitting at the table, reading a newspaper. He looked up at her and smiled. Tohru sighed and told Shigure what about her Grandfather calling her. Kyo was near and heard the whole thing, a shocked look on his face. "I guess I should start to pack." As she walked out, she ran into Yuki. He had been standing there the whole time. "Thank you for letting me stay!" Tohru said cheerfully. All Yuki could do was nod. As she left, Yuki stared at the ground. He had lost Sora, now he was going to lose Tohru?
"No, I haven't lost any of them yet!" He thought to himself. "First, I need to talk to Akito." But deep down, Yuki was scared. He didn't like talking to Akito. Akito reminded him of so many bad memories…
"Really Yuki? Of all the considerate things you could have said…" Shigure rambled on. Yuki just stared at the stairs, wondering what to do.
When Sora got back, Kana wasn't there. So she sat down on the bed and started doing homework. After she had finished, she decided to go outside. "I better leave a note," Sora thought. When she had done that, she rushed out of the hotel and walked around. That was when she saw Tohru, a gloomy expression on her face. "Tohru! Is something wrong?" Sora asked as she got closer. Tohru sighed and smiled at her.
"Everything is fine! I have to go, see you!" Then she ran off.
"UGH! Why is everyone except for Saki and Arisa seem to act like I'm some monster or something?"
"I don't know." Sora turned around and saw Kana standing there. "Did you do something?"
"Not that I know… but who knows, I can't remember the last week." Sora said bitterly.
"Come on; let's go back to the hotel." Kana said, trying to lighten the mood. Sora simply nodded and they went back.
A few hours later, Yuki was sitting in his garden, looking up at the sky. Yuki wanted to talk to Akito, but he was a bit afraid of him. Who knew what kind of things would Akito do when Yuki asked him? Akito wasn't the least bit scared to give Yuki harsh punishments. And now Yuki was faced with another predicament. Tohru was gone. He had lost both girls, just like that. He couldn't help but wonder if that stupid cat felt the same way. "I doubt it," Yuki thought. "He never really talked to Sora, and Kyo has always been a jerk towards Tohru." As Yuki walked back to the house he saw Kyo standing near a bush.
"Hey, let's talk." Kyo said quietly.
"About what?"
"Sora." Yuki kept walking. Kyo looked at Yuki.
"Don't think you're the only person who misses her!"
"You barely talked to her."
"That doesn't mean I didn't like her! She was nice and like Tohru!" Yuki looked at Kyo.
"Then what do you want to do? Sora is out of our reach."
"Stop avoiding her. I saw Sora run into you today. Be your usual annoying self around her." Kyo smirked. "Honestly, must I give you romantic advice?" Yuki ignored him and ran off.
When Sora went to school the next day, she was encountered by Yuki. "Yuki, hi!"
"Sorry I ran off like that the last time we saw each other," Yuki said, his head turned away.
"Oh… it's okay." Sora said with a smile. "Don't worry about it!"
"That's relief," Yuki said cheerfully, now looking straight at her. "Well, I'll see you later!" He then walked off. "Hmm," he thought. "Despite the fact that Kyo is a total idiot, he wasn't too far off with that advice."
Kyo looked up at the sky. At school he had seen Tohru. He had acted so weird, but he couldn't help it. Their relationship would never be the same. He missed her. Kyo stood up, which was kind of hard, considering he was on the roof. "I need to get her back!" Kyo thought. "I'll go see if that dumb rat will help me." He went off the roof and rushed into the house.
Sora looked out the window. A wonderful smell was in air as Kana whipped up a quick dinner. That was when she saw Yuki and that orange haired boy walking down the sidewalk. She remembered him from school. What was Yuki doing with that rude weirdo? Sora lifted the window up a bit so that maybe she could hear their conversation. She knew it was eavesdropping, but she just wanted to hear a bit of it. "Give me that map!" The orange haired boy shouted angrily.
"Nope," Yuki said coolly.
"We'll never find her house that this rate!"
"Of course we will."
"And how do you expect to do that, genius?"
"It's just a block away."
"Oh…" They walked passed the hotel, and Sora couldn't see them anymore. Quickly, Sora rushed out of the room and out of the building. She ran around the block and saw them walking up to a house. They were inside for a few minutes, and then the orange haired boy came out with Tohru. Sora dove behind a tree so they wouldn't see her.
"Kyo!" Tohru said as Kyo dragged her along. So that was the orange dude's name… As they walked by, Yuki came out. Sora hopped out of the bushes. For some weird reason, she wanted to talk to Yuki.
"Yuki!" He looked at her in surprise. "I just wanted to see you." Sora said, not sure what to say.
"Hello Sora, we just came to pick Tohru up."
"Cool." Sora said, ignoring that what Yuki had said had been very weird.
"Is there something you need?"
"No, you just…" Sora couldn't help but think Yuki had something to do with what was happening to her. She turned around. "It was nothing…" She whispered. As she walked away, Yuki grabbed her hand.
"Wait Sora!" Yuki said quickly. He turned her around, so they were face to face. "This won't make sense, but I want you to know that I'll get him to let you back. I promise." He pulled her closer and kissed her. Yuki let go and ran away, leaving Sora by herself. Sora stared at the ground, not believing what had just happened. Yuki Sohma had kissed her, and on the lips!
