New home
"no….." mom? You can't be, just…you…you have to be alive please… mom? Please wake up? "mom!" Tohru Honda stood screaming in a crowd of surveyors watching her, waiting for what she would do or say next, anxious of the situation. "Tohru?" Hatori approached the young woman, pity spread across his face. " Tohru, there's nothing we can do, she's…she's gone." he put his arm around her, and held her, while she sobbed into his chest. " I know this is painful for you, but I suppose must follow your moms wishes, unless there is a relative you can stay with?" she shook her head slowly. "ok then we'll wait for the ambulance to take your mother. Would you like to go with her?" again, she shook her head, and, bending down, she quickly kissed her mothers forehead, and whispered "I love you" in her ear, then, standing up, she turned to Hatori, "can we go now?" she said this almost in a whisper, this brought small and unnoticed tears to his eyes, but however small, he quickly wiped his eyes and smiled. "of course, let's go" as they started to walk the ambulance appeared sirens wailing, and several men stepped out. "time of death must've been around two minutes ago," said a man, dressed in green overalls and shaking his head he spoke again " if only we had received the call earlier" again he shook his head and started to place the body into a large corpse bag. As Tohru and Hatori disappeared over the hill, she turned and whispered "goodbye….mom" Hatori heard this and hugged her, he couldn't imagine what she was going through, she had just lost her mother, and yet, she remained in silent thought, he was surprised that she wasn't bawling her eyes out. still, she must be in a state of shock, so he pushed the thought aside and continued on, looking for the turning towards the sohma house. When he spotted it she glanced up at him in confusion. a doctor and he doesn't live in the city? How strange! He must be really busy with patients all over the city and he lives outside of it! Strange……… "where……where are we going?" she asked him, as they turned onto the narrow path. But, before he could answer shouts could be heard from up ahead and two figures could be seen racing towards them "shut up! You damn rat! I'll kill you I swear I will!" this comment came from the figure on the right. Tohru was intrigued by this boy, he had a tall slender figure, with baggy brown pants and a black top…..and orange hair! She wondered if he had dyed it or whether it was natural, and she giggled at the thought, forgetting about the tragedy behind her, until it returned to her a split second later, and she frowned, then turned to study the other boy. She gasped. He was so handsome! He had, again, a tall and slender figure, but with bluey grey/purple hair! And soft purple eyes that made him look almost hazy, as if she was in a dream. She was aghast with pleasure at how handsome he looked.
Ummmm…she suddenly thought as she realised how close they were getting, and went to move out of the way, but froze as Hatori spoke: "kyo! Yuki! What are you doing? Can you not see we have a guest! Apologise now!" she looked up a startled look on her face "oh no! it's….it's ok! I, I don't mind at all! Please you don't have to apologise!" the two boys stopped and looked at her with confusion as she babbled out her words, bowing continuously. "my names Tohru Honda, it's a pleasure to meet you!" the handsome one that she thought was yuki smiled and said "don't worry miss……Honda? It's a pleasure to meet you too…..oh have you been crying?" the sudden memory flooded back to her and she started to sob " look what you did now! You stupid rat! You've made her cry!" the orange haired boy rushed over to her, and surprised her by hugging her. I've just met him, and already we are hugging! she started, jumping back with shock and he smiled " don't worry I won't bite, she let out a small giggle, and his smile widened. " my names kyo, this here (and at his words he pointed to yuki) is Yuki, he won't bite either, but he's a real pain" he smirked as he looked back at Yuki, who, for the first time since she met him was scowling. " let's rethink that thought shall we, you stupid cat!" Tohru was left switching her head between the two boys as they quarrelled once again, curses flying everywhere. She looked worried and so Hatori spoke softly in her ear: "shall we continue to the house?" she nodded. Confused at the situation. she and Hatori approached the house, accompanied by a pair of boys shooting daggering looks at each other behind their backs. When they reached the door, Hatori raised his hand to knock, but before he could make a sound the door swung open, and a cheery face beamed down at them. " Ha'ri!!!" sang the man in the door way as he shook his hand, " your home!….and who's this? not your girlfriend I hope, tut tut you naughty man!" at this kyo pushed through and knocked him to the ground with the words: "you sick bastard!" Tohru looked up at him in horror, first the kind and gentle boy who hugged her, and now this? She couldn't handle it. She passed out then and there, falling backwards towards the rocks by the porch. Yuki, who had seen her fall, grabbed her back before she dd herself any damage, and slowly lifted her back onto the porch floor, he held her in his lap, staring at her delicate features, wondering what sh had been through, as Hatori hadn't told them yet. But they were all soon to find out, as Hatori helped the man to his feet, he said shigure (the man), Yuki Kyo, listen to me, this is Tohru Honda, she is 17 years old and has jus lost her mother in a serious accident, luckily she wasn't hurt, but her mother is dead, she has no other relatives, and it was her mothers last dying wish that I take care of her, and seeing as I do infact live here in case you hadn't noticed, she is going to live here from now on. So I want you all to be careful in what you say to her" as he finished all three men glanced up at him, a sorrowful look on their faces, "poor girl" whispered yuki as he stared at the small frame of a girl in his lap.
