Chapter 3

I heard a knock on my bedroom door. I yelled for the person to come in and Yuki walked in. I could see the worried look on his face. "I'm sorry, Miss Honda, but I know there is something going on with you? Who is this Yuu person?"

I looked at him wide eyed. Had he been outside my door? Maybe was coming to knock on it before and he heard me say the name. "Yuu is my mother's ex. That is all I can tell you."

"That is not good enough, Tohru," Yuki responded. I didn't want to have this conversation right now. I needed to go back downstairs to start dinner. I was glad that Yuki cared, but if I can't tell Uo or Hana why would I tell him. That would not make any sense. I ended the conversation and went downstairs to check on the food. I was happy that the stew was cooking nicely.

After ten minutes or so I heard a knock on the kitchen door. I told everyone that I would get the door since it was right near the kitchen. When I opened the door Yuu was standing outside. He had a small dark smile on his face.

"H-How did you get here?" I asked while shaking little bit. I found it creepy that he found out where I lived. I was also wondering how he even was able to find us. He laughed a little at my reactions.

"I saw you and a gentlemen walking this way. So I found it and I need to talk to you. So can we please talk?" He asked me. I nodded because I needed to know why he was really here. I could see a fake grin plastered on his face. His nice boy attitude was starting to wear off for me. "Have you told anyone about what happened?"

"No, I have not told anyone. I made a promise to my mother and I don't intend to break it," I responded. Yuu laughed a little bit, walked over to me, and slapped me in the face. From the force of the hit I fell backwards. I could feel the tears working my way into my eyes. Eventually I knew that I would get a bruise from this. I knew eventually I might go to the store to buy some cover up. "W-Why did you hit me?"

He bent down in front of me. "I don't believe you when you said that you didn't tell anyone. I know you have a breaking point. I know eventually this is going to eat you up inside. It's going to destroy you little by little until you're precious body can't handle it. Eventually you will snap and tell. Well that is what I believe. So I believe you told someone."

"I haven't told anyone. I am not going to break my promise to my mother. I will never. You don't have to worry about me telling your precious secret to anyone! Please just leave! I don't want to talk to you anymore," I responded. I was upset because he dared to put his hands on me. He laughed lightly again. He pulled me close to him and kissed me on the lips. I wanted to push off of him, but I knew he would only hold on tighter.

"I still don't believe that," he responded after kissing me.

"Well trust me because I am not lying to you," I responded. I was scared of him and probably could tell I was. I knew what he was capable of though. Everything my mother and I went through was because of him. All the pain and suffering and I know it's going to come back again because of him and his shenanigans.

"Alright, I'll believe you for now…but trust me…if you tell anyone. You won't like what will happen because of you," he said and laughed lightly as he started to walk again. I could feel my body shaking again. I slowly entered the house and closed the door behind me. I didn't want him to come back again. I went back into the kitchen to finish dinner. I wanted to keep my mind off of what just happened.

I still couldn't believe that Yuu had found out where I was living now. He came to the house and hit me in front of it. I don't want him to come back here. I don't want him to harass my new family because he doesn't want to get arrested.

"Hey, is dinner ready yet?" Kyo came into the kitchen and asked. I jumped a little when I heard his voice. I could feel the anger rising again because my thoughts were back to being directed towards Yuu and the fact that he came all of this way to slap me in the face. Also to kiss me on the lips...

"No, it's not ready yet. Now leave me alone," I responded. I could tell that there was anger in my voice. I could tell because of the way Kyo flinched. I felt bad because I didn't mean to take my anger out on him. He did stare at me in shock though.

"What's with you today? You've been so mean to me," he asked. He tried to put his hand on my shoulder, but I moved away. At the moment I didn't want to be touched. I could see the hurt look in his eyes as I pulled away.

"Leave me alone…" I responded in anger. At that point he backed out of the kitchen with a worried look on his face. After that I fell to my knees and cried for a minute. I was feeling so bad for the way that I was treating Kyo. After I finished dinner I was going to apologize to him. I needed too.

A couple of minutes later Shigure came into the kitchen. "Who was at the door?"

"An old friend," I responded with a little bit of annoyance in my voice. My thoughts were still on the whole incident.

"At this hour?" he asked in shock. I just nodded and he walked out of the kitchen. He said his stomach was growling so he didn't want to sleep. After a little bit I called everyone to eat.

"Finally, I can eat," Kyo said with a smile. I could see with the look on his face that he was really hungry.

"Kyo, actually I wanted to apologize to you. I'm sorry," I said. He smiled and told me that I was forgiven and started eating. I couldn't help, but smile when he forgave me. After that I went up to my room because I was not hungry. I didn't want anything to eat.

As I was falling asleep that night I heard a light knock on my door. I just told whoever it was to come in. Yuki opened the door and he was carrying a bowl of soup that I made. "I thought you'd be hungry by now."

"I'm actually pretty hungry now. You're right." I responded with a small laugh. Yuki smiled at me sweetly and I was starting to blush a little bit. I still felt terrible for what I had done to Kyo. I didn't deserve to laugh when I know I hurt him.

"Miss Honda, are you upset about something?"

"No, what are you talking about?"

"Well number one, you haven't been talking to your friends. Number two you flipped out on Kyo…and number three, what happened to your cheek?" he asked me. I was thinking about what he said. He was right I haven't been talking to anyone. I did flip out on Kyo. I didn't even notice that I had a bruise of my face already.

"I fell off of my bed by accident and landed on my cheek. It hurt so badly," I said making up a fake story. It was hard to lie to anyone in the Sohma family…

"Well you are kind of clumsy," he said and I laughed. I told him that I would see him to in the morning. I was getting tired and there was still way too much on my mind. I needed to get the sleep.

The next morning I actually had my alarm set at the right time. I had breakfast made, I ate some of it, and then I left the door. I didn't want to be late to seeing Uo and Hana.

On the way to school I ran into someone…
