Sorry for the LATE LATE update! School been in the way for a while, so yeah. Anyways, I HAVE been working on this as much as I can because I have other siblings who LOOVVVEEE to hog the laptop. Well, here's chapter 7 for you guys. ENJOY! xP
Chapter 7:
Yuki and Tohru graduated high school together with honors. They were accepted to the same college, and there, their true journey begins. They've been going to college for a while and are now in their last year of college.
"Tohru! Are you ready? We gotta go!"
"Almost, wait up Yuki-kun!"
Tohru slipped on her shoes and got into Yuki's car. (A/N: Apparently, Yuki can drive, cause he's awesome like that!)
"Okay, let's go Yuki."
"Mm."
As they drove to college together, it was dead silent in the car. Yuki broke the silence and said, "How are your classes going?"
"Ummm, they're good. What about you?"
"Exceeding in all of them."
"Wow."
"Yeah, I know. Usual me. Do you need help with any of your courses you're taking?"
"Uhh, no…"
Tohru turned away and looked out the window.
"Tohru-chan, tell me, which class are you having trouble in?"
"It's…. it's… just… umm… Machi's… in… my… major class…"
Yuki stepped on the brake and parked over on the curb.
"And how long have you not told me about this?!"
"For a while, I just wouldn't want to bother you and your studies…"
"Is she bothering you?"
"Don't worry about it Yuki. Do I look like I'm bothered by her?" and Tohru smiled.
"Well, okay. Fine, but if I see any bruises or scars and whatsoever, I WILL, make her leave you alone."
"Thank you Yuki-kun. Now, let's get to school."
Time passed and soon, they were graduating.
"Honda-san, I'll be back for dinner. I just gotta pick up some things at the store real quick."
"Okay! Drive safe Yuki."
"Mm."
Yuki grabbed his car keys and shut the door behind him as he left.
"You guys have grown up so much. Feels like yesterday you guys were in 3rd grade." Yuki's mom interrupted.
"Ah, yes! We have, haven't we? I can't believe time just flew by like that."
"Mhm."
"Ma, I wanna go visit my parents tomorrow… Can you come with me?"
"Of course."
The Next Day:
"Tohru, are you ready?"
"Mhm!"
"Alright. Let's go!"
"Mom, where are you guys going?"
"Somewhere."
"Somewhere as in..?"
"Just a place."
"If you don't tell me, I'll just come along then."
"Aha, fine by me."
The three of them got into the car and drove off.
"Tohru." Yuki's mom said.
"…."
"Tohru…"
"Huh?"
"We're here."
"Thank you Ma."
"Mm. Wake Yuki up too."
Tohru shook Yuki. Yuki opened his eyes and look at Tohru.
"Yuki, we're here. Let's go."
"Where are we?"
"At the cemetery."
"Oh. Sorry Tohru, it's been awhile, I've forgotten. I'm so sorry."
"It's okay Yuki. I forgive you, and I know my parents forgive you too."
They smiled at each other. The three of them got out the car and went over to the tombstone.
It started to rain and slowly inside, Tohru's heart began to sink. Tohru kneeled in front of the tombstone and cried silently with the rain.
Yuki and his mom, stood behind Tohru in silence. Yuki turned around and look up and closed his eyes. As he thought when the rain fell on him, "Please…. Let her future be bright. I want to protect Tohru with all my heart. I want to be by her side for the rest of my life, no matter the hardship. I promise to you, I won't let her out of my sight."
Tohru stood up, turned around, and hugged Yuki's mom.
"Ma, let's go home. It's getting late."
"Mm."
When they got home, all three of them were so tired that they fell asleep in the living room.
Tohru woke up in the middle of the night and went outside. Hearing the slight footsteps, Yuki woke up and silently followed Tohru. When Yuki got to the door, Tohru had just stood in the rain. Yuki looked away, hoping that she'll come inside.
A second later, Yuki heard a scream, coming from outside.
"Tohru!"
"YUKI! HELP ME!"
The sound faded away. Yuki stood for a second and thought, "Kyo…."
Yuki grabbed his car keys, ran out the door. Yuki's mom woke up from all the noise that went on.
"Yuki! Where are you going?!"
"Saving Tohru from Kyo."
"Come back in one piece."
"I will. I promise."
Yuki got into his car, and drove off.
"Kyo, you will pay for this…"
