Sorrow, surprise, and romance
"yuki please, run now, when those cars get through those traffic lights we are dead."
Tohru screamed.
As yuki watched the cars race off past the young woman, he noticed she wasn't standing anymore, and feared the worst. Tohru also saw she had fallen, and then she saw it…..a black cloak, a black heap of clothes, she sighed inside, and she knew Hanajima was dead. But, as the cars stopped their steady flow of colour, she noticed one thing. There was no body under the mass of black. She rushed across to the pile, and stared in awe at what she saw. A black spider, with purple eyes, not unlike yuki's, staring right back up at her. "s…saki?" she stammered. "w..what IS this?" the spider turned it's head. All of a sudden there was a POOF! And in the middle of the road was a naked, 17 year old girl, her head bowed. Yuki and Tohru, joined by kyo suddenly jumped in front of the girl, facing away, whilst she got her long black dress back around her slender figure. The three walked to the pavement, their arms around each other. Meanwhile, back at the house, shigure had heard that Tohru was bringing home a young friend of hers, and was rather pleased. "high school girls! High school girls! Two for me! High school girls!" he sang as he cleaned the main entrance room. Back at the scene of the almost-accident, the three were sat in a café, slowly sipping tea, and talking to Saki about her mysterious transformation. "well…..when I was five my mother was cursed by an evil spirit, a curse that turned anyone born related to her into small creatures, whenever we are in trouble. this may not seem too bad, but 'trouble' also includes falling in love, unless I secretly become a lesbian." she smirked at this comment, and added "not that it will happen anytime soon" Tohru was sat next to her, her eyes full of pity, "oh hanajima, so, this is why you never got close to anyone, and spoke in your monotone voice?" Saki nodded, yes that was why. she never wanted to get close to anyone so that they would not get hurt, and the monotone voice? Put on, but for so long, it had become her real voice, although her true voice was deep within her. She smiled sadly, "so, Tohru, shall we continue to your new home? I wish to meet this… shigure and hatori." Tohru smiled. "oh! Of course! Oh Saki, you'll love them! They are so kind and helpful!" as they paid and started to leave, yuki held onto Tohru's arm, and asked her if he could speak to her secretly. She nodded, noting the seriousness on his face, and….was that a hint of sadness? They told the other two to carry on, and that they would catch them up, and then yuki pulled her to a corner. "uh…. Miss.honda, I…I just I…..uh" she smiled, obviously this was difficult for him. She held his arm and spoke softly. "yes…..yuki?" he blushed on his pale and handsome face. "uh…miss. Honda I feel like I may…….may be falling for you. I….I know it's sudden as I've only known you for two weeks, but you are special, special to me." she hadn't been expecting this. She blushed a dark crimson. "I……I feel the same way…..yuki?…..you….your special to me too."
He was very pleased with this news, and pulled her close for a deep, passionate kiss. She had no intention of pulling away from him, but she spotted her friend arisa uotani. She pulled apart, leaning against the wall, to make herself look like they were simply chatting, but uo still wasn't happy. Hey, what the hell are you doing to her?!!!" yuki blushed. He hadn't expected this. "uh…..hello, my name is y.." but he stopped abruptly when arisa stopped and blushed furiously. "oh…. Uh…. Prince yuki, I had no idea…….I am sorry" that's right, he remembered, this girl is in his class. Arisa uotani, of class 2D. She sat next to Saki. "why are you apologising miss uotani?" she blushed again, and started to mumble, when, all of a sudden she gained back her confidence. "well I was going to ask you what you were doing to my little Tohru, but I think I've worked that one out." she gave an evil smirk to yuki as if to say, "you bastard." he shrunk back, scared of the look she was giving him. He was glad tohru was looking away at this point. Uo laughed, what a wuss! "so, Tohru, I was thinking that I could come see your mom today." oh god, she doesn't know, what's Tohru going to do? yuki glanced at her, she was crying, but silently. He turned to Uo. "may I speak to you, miss uotani?" she nodded, a confused look on her face. "
