Hello all! I'm soooo sorry that I haven't been updating. I'm so caught up with school and friends and all that jazz that I simply don't have the time to update. I'm so sorry. I'll update more often during Christmas Break and stuff. I promise I'll make this a really good one. Just for you guys. :D. And another thing you guys all my reviewers are wonderful and I love them. Anyway onward with the story my friends. Love, ang.pie.

After the happenings of the previous night, the three injured men were resting and sleeping off the pain. Shigure had a broken nose, Yuki had a broken arm, and Kyo just had a lot of bruises and potential scars. Tohru, on the other hand, had deep emotional pain from the incident. She had stayed over Arisa's house afterward so she could get away from Yuki. She was terrified. Not just for herself, but for Kyo. She didn't want to leave him alone with Yuki after what happened. Arisa had been right. There was something wrong with Yuki and she was glad that she heeded her warning.

As she was making her way back toward the Sohma household she was deep in thought about it until she ran into something, or someone, hard. She managed to fall down on the ground. She looked up and couldn't see what the mysterious thing that she ran into because the sun was preventing that. Suddenly, a hand reached out and the person bent down to give a better look at who it was.

She saw his face and a wide smile appeared on her face. "Toshi-chan?! Toshi-chan is that you? It's been so long since I've seen you last. I'm so sorry I ran into you! How have you been?" she said taking his outreached hand.

He pulled her up and hugged her tightly. "Oh Tohru-chan, I've missed you so much. How long has it been? Ten years? You look amazing. How have you been" He gave her a once over with his beautiful gray eyes. He was tall, shorter than Kyo, but pretty tall. His hair was blonde and down to his shoulders. He wore it back in a ponytail. He was very pale, but muscular. He had definitely grown since they were children.

"Oh, Toshi-chan. You are still the charmer. I've been really great. I'm about to graduate high school. You graduated last year right? What brings you back here? How are your parents? And your little sister?" Tohru asked eagerly.

"Yes you're right. I'm so proud of you. Well, since I spent a lot of my childhood here, I wanted to move back. My mother and father are just fine. Kiera wants to see you a lot. She missed you almost as much as I did. How's your mother?" He asked.

"Well, a few years ago, she passed away. She was in an accident." She said sadly.

"Oh Tohru I'm so sorry. If I would have known I would have come back immediately." He said.

"I know. Please, don't worry about me. I'm fine now. Really. But, do you want to go get something to eat and catch on old times?" Tohru said. She really didn't want to face home yet. She needed to reflect on some things and avoid the pain of the whole thing.

"Yeah sure! I think I know the perfect place to go too! Do you remember the place that my parents always used to go and never let us go with them, you know, The Lotus? Lets go there. I'm starving!" he said.

"I'd love to go there!" she said. They made their way over to the restaurant on foot. It wasn't far away and it was a really nice day out, so why not? When they got the restaurant they got a table, sat down, ordered what they wanted, and started talking. "So Toshi-chan, what university are you going to now? How old is Kiera?"

"I'm attending the local university. I live in an apartment with an old friend of mine. My parents and Kiera live about an hour away, so I can see them. Kiera just turned 15. She thinks she is so grown up. But enough about me, tell me what you have been up to? Where do you live now?"

"I live with Shigure Sohma and his two cousins Yuki Sohma and Kyo Sohma." Tohru said. Toshi looked at her suggestible. "O! Toshi-chan, nothing is going on between me or any of them. They are so nice to me. They have given me so much and I'm so grateful to have met them. I was actually living in a tent on their land before I met them so please don't think like that."

"Alright…But Tohru-chan, what are you going to go to college for, I mean what are you going to study?"

"I'm thinking about becoming a grade school teacher. I love kids. What are you in college to become?"

"I'm planning on being an engineer. I've always wanted to be one since I was little, remember Tohru-chan?"

"O yes that's right. I'm so happy for you Toshi-chan. You've become such a great guy. I'm proud that my childhood best friend came back. Aww. You're going to make me cry!" Tohru said with tears of happiness in her eyes. Toshi leaned over the table and wiped away a stray tear that escaped her eye.

"Now we can't have you crying now can we? Really Tohru-chan, you haven't changed a bit. Well, you have changed a little bit. You've become very beautiful." He said resulting in gaining a blush from Tohru. "You don't believe me? Well I think it's true."

"Haha. Oh Toshi-chan. Always the charmer. Well are you almost ready to go? I think I need to go home soon. The boys….well I'm worried about them a lot. So we can talk another time if that's okay with you."

"That's perfectly fine Tohru. I'm truly happy."

"Why?"

"Because there will be another time. And that's always something to look forward to." He said with a smile. She smiled back. They stood up and walked outside.

"Are you sure I can't drive you home Tohru-chan?" He asked persistently.

"Yes I'm sure, I don't want to be a burden. And besides. It's not that far. I'll be fine." Tohru insisted. He nodded. He leaned down and kissed her on the cheek.

"Here's my number. Can I have yours?" He asked. She gave it to him and they went their separate ways.

Tohru walked toward the Sohma house once again in a deep thought. 'I so glad that I saw Toshi-chan again! But, even though we were talking about good times, I couldn't help worrying about things that happened last night. How will things be at the house? I can't face Yuki, not now anyway. He went too far last night. He could have killed Kyo and Shigure-kun. But, what about Kyo? Is he okay? Why did he kiss me last night. It can't have been like at the fair. It wasn't a mistake. He said that he's been wanting to do for a long time. Is it possible that he loves me like I love him? Well there's only one way to find out.' She thought as she approached the house. She went up to the front door, getting ready to enter the house. "Well here goes nothing." She said as she entered the house and saw utter chaos.

A/N: woooo! That was a satisfying chapter. I'll update more as soon as I get reviews guys. And in the mean time here is the disclaimer:

I don't own Fruits Basket or any of its characters. I do own Toshi though, which is pretty much amazing. And I also own volumes 1-18 of the Furuba series at the moment.

Okay. And Toshi will come up again…eventually. So don't forget him, okay? And I love cliffies don't you? Teehee teehee. Well guys that was another installment in the amazing story of THREE STORY SERENADE. Please review and be safe and all the jazz.
