Here's chapter 3
Chapter 3
Tohru happily dug into her ice-cream, and looking across from her, she saw the grey-haired boy enjoying his chocolate-vanilla cone as much as she was enjoying her strawberry one.
"Come on, Tohru-kun! Let's go on the swings!" She laughed and raced him to them. When they got there, they threw their cones into a nearby bin and each of them chose a swing, both trying to swing higher than the other.
Suddenly a long, black car drove up the street. The boy gasped and quickly jumped off the swing, running into the nearby bushes. Tohru hopped off hers and ran to him. He was breathing deeply and had his hands over his eyes. "They found me! They found me! I didn't want to see them ever again!" He wimpered and curled into a ball.
Tohru put an arm around his shoulders and did whispered "Don't worry, they can't see us here. Shh!" She said as she saw a young man with black hair walk by, looking around. "I thought I saw him somewhere," He murmured to himself as he looked around.
Tohru and the boy where obscured completely by the bush, and couldn't be seen. The man was about to move on when a be-be-beep sounded.
Tohru looked down in horror 'My watch is beeping! Wait, I don't have a watch…What?'
Everything in her dream dissolved as she opened her eyes to stare at her alarm clock. 'What…' she thought drowsily as she reached out a hand to tap her alarm clock and stop the be-be-beeping. 'What a weird dream…' She thought as she sat up in bed, yawned, and stretched.
'Wait a second!' She almost fell out of bed when memories of last night's discovery made themselves known. 'Are my dream and the photo connected?' She asked herself as she got up and went to the dresser, where her clothes were laid out and began to dress her in her uniform.
'I'll ask Yuki about it at breakfast' she decided as she slid on the butterfly necklace. She picked up the picture and headed to the kitchen. 'I hope he remembers something about it. I feel sort of bad that I can't remember when I met him when I was little. It's odd though, the memory always seems close, but I can't get it. I guess it's like having a conversation and forgetting the word you were about to say*." Tohru sighed as she walked around the kitchen, slowly mixing the dough she would use to make biscuits for breakfast.
Lately, she decided to try Western dishes. They were generally well-liked, especially by Kyo, since leek were not often used in meals. Today she was making omelets and biscuits.
Kyo and Shigure came down first. "Good morning my little flower. Is breakfast done yet?" "Morning Tohru" greeted Kyo and Shigure as they came into the kitchen. Yuki slowly drifted in after them, half asleep as usual.
Tohru edged close to him. "Yuki-san? Can you meet me in my room after breakfast? I have something I need to tell you." She looked up at him shyly, her mind again wondering if she'd known him when she was little.
To Yuki, she appeared out in his dream haze. He became more awake as she spoke. Her look and tone was serious. "Alright I'll meet you up there." He murmured. "Is something wrong?"
"What? No, not really I mean-'"Ah young love is blooming with the spring. It stirs the heart! I" Shigure didn't finish since, in the aftermath of Yuki's anger, he ended up going headfirst out the door and into the garden.
"O-O my gosh! Is he all right? Should I get bandages?" Tohru went into freak out mode, while Kyo and Yuki appeared unconcerned. "Don't worry, Tohru. See? That perverts already up." grumbled Kyo. Shigure had gotten up and trailed his way to the house with fake tears flowing down his face. "Yuuuukkii How could you be so mean to meeeeeeee?"
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
After breakfast, Yuki slipped up the stairs and waited in Tohru's room. A few minutes later she joined him, a somewhat shy look on her face.
"So what is it you want to show me Miss Honda?" Yuki asked.
"Well yesterday when the package came, my grandfather sent me this box." Tohru gently lifted the box from the dresser. Yuki looked confused. "It's very pretty, but is that all you wanted to show me?"
"No I found this strip in it, and I didn't it existed before I got it." Her words came out in a rush as she held it out to him.
Yuki sat on her bed and stared wide-eyed at the photo for several moments. 'What? I don't remember when this was taken. I only recall meeting Tohru one time, and that was to guide her home…" He finally looked up "I'm sorry Tohru, I know that's me, but I don't remember anything about this strip either." He said sadly.
Tohru sat on the bed beside him. After a minute she spoke, and Yuki was amazed at the cheerful tone she had. "Don't worry, I don't remember it either, but I bet we can figure it out. Maybe we can even be like detectives!" Tohru stood up, arms clenched with a determined look on her face.
Yuki had to smile at her enthusiasm. "Yes, I'll think about this at school today." He told her. Right on time Shigure yelled out, "Come on you two! Kyo already left! You'll be late!" Tohru gasped and quickly hurried out of her room, with Yuki right behind her. She almost tripped at the stairs, but luckily enough; two pale hands grabbed hold of her waist, steadying her.
"Miss Honda, Are you OK?" Yuki asked. "Y-Yes thank you Yuki." Tohru blushed, trying hard not to think of the intimate position they were in. They were close, but not close enough to trigger the curse.
Presently, Yuki removed his hands. "Be careful. Let's go to school now ok?" he asked taking her hand as they continued out of the house
A small smile lit Tohru's face. "Let's"
OOOOOOOOO
