"Wow, it's been so long.." Tohru mumbled to herself as she stepped into her grandfather's home. About three years back, he had died of old age, then her aunt and uncle had moved in with their oldest child, leaving the home to Tohru shockingly. All of the furniture was still there, only covered in sheets. She went upstairs to her grandfather's old room and set her bags down, smiling.

"Grandfather, thank you so much." Tohru placed her mom's picture on the nighttable and smiled brightly, then walked downstairs. She looked in the pantry to discover no food, of course. Yes, grocery shopping now.

"Bye, Mom!" Tohru yelled and walked outside the house, purse in hand. She walked down towards the grocery store that she, Kyo, and Yuki always used to shop at. Wow, it seemed so long ago. She wondered how they were. So, Tohru bought the food she needed fopr the next week or so, sucessfully using up all her money, then went outside the store.

"Damn rat!" She could have sworn she heard those words. No, it couldn't be! Tohru swung her head around, not seeing anything. She shook her head and frowned, walking accross the street towards her street. She shook her head again, the heat must be getting to her. Tohru sighed and looked around, spotting the source of the noise.

Kyo growled a Yuki, letting out another chorus of 'damn rat.' He sighed and ran a hand through his bright orange hair angrily, spotted a girl looking at him from accross the sidewalk. She looked vaugely familiar, those eyes, that hair.. No, it couldn't be.

"Yuki." Yuki blinked, Kyo never called him Yuki. "Look at that girl."

"You stupid cat, I know ever since Toh-" He looked at the girl. "Tohru? No, can't possible be her. She's so grown up, unimaginable."

"Shut up! No, it's not her, she went to Amercia, remember!" Kyo barked and dragged Yuki away.

Tohru frowned as she heard an argument between two extremely familiar looking young men, but, she shrugged and began walking home again.


Short!
