Chapter Three

"Hi mom. Haven't seen you for a while now. I am doing fine, how 'bout you?" There were no answers from Tohrus' mom. Of course Tohru was at her mothers' grave at the temple.

"I haven't come to talk to you for a while now so I was wondering if you were getting lonely or not." Tohru said to the silence that greeted her. "I am so happy to be living with the Sohmas."

Tohru sighed. To tell the truth, she usually felt very lonely coming home and not hearing her moms' voice telling her `welcome home honey`!

Not feeling her mother glomping onto her back when her mom gets home at the same time she does. It was sad without her mother around, but she had wonderful friends that are always there for her and always trying to cheer her up.

That was a very nice feeling to have every day.

Tohru sighed again and began to unpack the picnic that she had packed to eat at the temple. Ugh… she had made way—y to much food. She was getting so used to having people with her everywhere.

Now she really wished that she had invited Yuki, Kyo, Hana and Uo- chan with her. She started to eat her food I silence.

She thought the temple was kinda homey. Not that any temple could actually be like a home. It was just small, that's all.

And she thought her mom might like that feeling. Plus it was also where Tohrus' father was buried too. She thought her mother might like to be with her dad.

Suddenly she heard a step behind her. She turned around and there was a man there. He had brown eyes, brown hair and skin the color of freshly fallen snow.

"I am sorry if I startled you." He said. "I just heard you talking and was relieved that I wasn't the only one here."

He stood there with the sakura trees that grew at the temple framing him, making him look even more beautiful. The sunlight that shone reflecting off of him, making him look like he was glowing.

"Oh! No you are not the one at fault here. I thought I was the only one at the temple today!" Tohru said to the man. "God," She thought, "he is so beautiful!"

He smirked at her as if he had actually heard her say that out loud. "My name is Kaname Kuran. I was visiting my dead mother and father back that way."

He pointed to somewhere behind him to two graves just a couple rows down from her own mothers' grave.

"Oh. How long have they been gone?" Tohru asked the man named Kaname Kuran.

"They have been dead for about 10 years now. I was 6 when they died." He replied, amused at the question.

"I am sorry, but why do you sound amused at the question?" Tohru asked. "It all just seems so funny now that I think back on it. My uncle was the one who murdered them." Kaname replied.

"This girl is quite amusing herself. I wonder what her name is. Her blood smells good." He thought.

Meanwhile Tohru just gaped at him. "How can he think that is funny? That is just horrible." She was thinking.

"So, what is your name? I can't just go around calling "hey you!" whenever and if ever I see you again."

"Oh, I'm sorry. My name is Tohru Honda. Nice to meet you." Tohru said. She was so embarrassed. What must he think of her?

"Hello Tohru Honda. Um… it looks like your food is getting cold. Why are you eating at your moms' grave?" Kaname asked. "That is so weird. Hmm, but I guess a lot less weirder that me being a vampire." He thought.

"Oh, well, mom always liked a homey atmosphere. So me and my friends thought that she might like to have a meal together every once in a while. But today it's just me here and I just wanted to be alone with her for awhile. But now I am feeling quite lonely without all the noise around me." Tohru said sadly.

"Plus I made too much food for just me to eat. I'm just too used to cooking for a ton of people instead of just one person. Me." She continued.

"Hmm…," Kaname thought, "this could work in my favor."

"You know, I'm here alone as well, and your food does smell delicious. Hmm—m I can't think of the last time I have had a home cooked meal." He said. "And you have cooked too much food for yourself."

Tohru just stared at him for a moment. She looked a little dazed. "Oh!" she exclaimed. "Sorry, yeah, umm… will you please join me for this meal?" Tohru asked. "Yes, I will, thank you." Kaname replied.

"So, how old are you Tohru Honda?" Kaname asked. "I am 16year old." Tohru replied. "How about you? How old are you?"

"I am also 16 years old." Kaname replied. "She is the same age as me. Just perfect for my plan." Kaname thought to himself. "Now all I have to do is get her talking about herself."

"So Tohru, tell me about yourself."

"What is there to tell?" Tohru said. "My dad died when I was 5 and I mostly cared for myself. Then just last year today, my mom died in a car accident.

"Oh, I am sorry. I didn't mean to upset you. I only wanted to get to know you." Kaname said.

"No, Mr. Kuran— "Please call me Kaname- kun." "Okay, Kaname- kun. Like I was saying before, it is my fault. I didn't mean to get all emotional on you like that. I just don't like talking about myself that much."

"Okay. Will it be okay to ask you about your hobbies?"

Hey. I would just like to say thank you for all the support my reviewers have given me on my story and that I hope you will continue to read it. It may take a while to post more than I have so far but I usually have to write up the next two chapters to a story before I can update. Lots of editing on my end. Thank you for reading and please continue to enjoy the story.
