Chapter: Moo-moo, Hop-hop! (You'll get it)
Kaze sighed as he picked at the rice on the left side of his plate. He didn't have much of an appetite-especially after the previous night. Kaze hadn't said a word since then. His mind was fraught with panic. He found himself contemplating horrible scenarios of what would happen if he didn't get Genma the money he wanted. He was terrified for Tohru and, although he hadn't spoken to her all day, never let her far out of his sight. He was extremely tense and anxious-any sudden sound made his heart race and his face pale. Now he couldn't even eat…
He sighed again and pushed his plate away, standing up and leaving the room. Tohru stared after him as he left.
"What the hell is his problem?" Kyo asked in his usual rough shot manner, reaching over and stabbing another rice ball with his chopstick from the center plate.
Tohru also set her chopsticks down and left the room after her brother.
Tohru headed outside to the back porch, hoping to find her distressed brother. She frowned slightly when she saw him. He had his back to her and his legs were drawn up to his chin, a sure sign he was upset. Kaze barely acknowledged Tohru as she walked up and sat down on his left side. Tohru shivered slightly in the cold winter air. The ground was still covered with snow, and it sparkled brilliantly in the early-morning sunlight. A small bird landed only a few feet away on a patch of snow, and she watched it flit about for a moment before flying off into the woods.
"I'm sorry." Tohru turned to see her brother looking at her.
"For what?" Tohru asked, folding her hands in her lap politely.
"I've been avoiding you…" Kaze said softly, also looking out at the scenery. "There's just…a lot on my mind right now…" he said.
"Like what?" he heard Tohru ask. He chose not to answer her question, but Tohru continued. "Kaze…tell me what's wrong…" Kaze looked back over at his sister, who looked very concerned. He remembered back to the day he left five years ago…. his mother had asked the very same question…. her face had the very same expression that Tohru's now did…
Kaze again felt the urge to tell everything…tell her about the horrible mistakes he had made, about the terrible predicament he was in now…as if she could solve all his problems by just listening.
But no, that was unrealistic…. this was his problem…he had dug this ditch and now he had to climb out himself.
"Tohru…I can't tell you…. at least not yet." Kaze said, choosing his words carefully.
"Kaze, it's okay…you can trust me." Tohru replied, her voice rising slightly.
"Tohru-"
"TOHRU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The siblings quickly turned to see….
"Hold it Lover-Boy!" Kyo yelled, grabbing the blonde-haired boy by the arm before he collided with Tohru. Kaze got to his feet and helped Tohru up as he stared at the small boy, who appeared to be wearing…a girl's school uniform? This puzzled him tremendously.
"Awww! Kyo's being mean to me again!" Momiji cried, trying to break free of Kyo's grasp.
"Shut the hell up you brat!" Kyo yelled, whacking Momiji on the top of the head.
"WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!" Momiji cried as Kyo let go of him.
"Kyo, stop being so mean," a teen with black and white hair said, walking up to Kyo, who glared at him. Kaze was again puzzled.
"What an odd hair color." He said aloud. Everyone turned to face him.
"OOO!! Who's this Tohru?" Momiji asked, immediately ceasing his pathetic wailing.
"Is he your boyfriend or something?" Haru asked bluntly, shoving his hands in his pockets. He didn't wear his uniform quite right, Kaze noticed. Tohru blushed.
"Um, no. I'm Kaze Honda, her older brother." Kaze replied, his eyes still on Momiji's strange attire.
"Tohru, you never said you had a brother!" Momiji said happily, putting his hands on his hips.
"Um…yes…" Tohru said softly, playing with the sleeve of her uniform.
"If you don't mind me asking, who are you two?" Kaze asked, obviously confused.
"I'm Haru Sohma, and that's Momiji Sohma. We're two of Kyo and Yuki's cousins." Haru said, ruffling his hair.
"Oh. It's nice to meet you. But I have another question. Why are you wearing a girl's uniform?" Kaze asked, looking over at Momiji.
"Oh? I look better in this one." Momiji answered simply.
"Oh…." Kaze replied, straightening his jacket.
"So what are you two doing here?" Yuki asked, joining the conversation. He still looked half-asleep.
"We came to walk to school with you!" Momiji exclaimed.
"Oh…" Yuki answered.
"That's okay, right? It's okay with you Tohru?" Momiji asked, looking over at Tohru.
"Of course Momiji." Tohru answered with a smile.
"YEA!!!" Momiji cried. He ran over to Tohru and grabbed her hand. "Common Tohru! We don't want to be late!" he said, smiling at Kaze. Tohru nodded and she and Kaze followed him inside.
(Walking to school)
Momiji babbled excitedly as they walked, holding on to Tohru's hand. Yuki walked with them, Haru and Kyo led the way, and Kaze brought up the rear. He had insisted on walking the teens to school. Kaze quickly zoned out Momiji's constant chatter and stuffed his hands in his pockets, looking over at the people on the other side of the street.
A brown-haired woman wearing a teal overcoat walked out of an apartment, holding the hand of a man with black hair. An elderly lady scuffled through the crowd, her arms full with groceries. A blonde-haired teen ran in the street after a younger boy, no doubt his brother. A swish of black-
Kaze's heart skipped a beat and he snapped back to attention. His eyes scanned the crowd again. There!
Kaze froze.
Standing on the opposite side of the street, staring back at him was a man dressed in a long, black cloak. His face was hidden from view by a wide hat.
"I'm watching you." Kaze couldn't believe it. A family walked by, and the man in black disappeared, leaving Kaze gaping after him.
