Chapter Seven
When Tohru and the boys got home, she silently took off her shoes and went to the kitchen to start dinner.
Kyo and Yuki looked at each other and then silently walked to the entryway of the room.
"Tohru? Are you still mad at us? We're just trying to look out for you. And that boy was strange. We didn't mean to make you upset at us. Will you at least tell us what we said so that we could apologize?" Yuki asked her.
"… … … … I'm not mad anymore. I was just thinking about all the stuff that went on today. I try to look out for myself and be strong, but sometimes it doesn't always work out that way. I just don't want to make others suffer with me because they shouldn't have to deal with my emotions and problems and their own as well." Tohru answered him.
Really on the inside she was screaming.
Why couldn't she just wake up and tell her mom to come home safe?
Why did that person in that car have to be there at the exact same time her mom was there on that street?
All she could think about is what it would be like if her mom and papa had still been alive.
Would she and the Sohma's still have eventually become friends?
Tohru somehow doubted that.
She didn't even know the answer, but she knows that if she hadn't been camping out and gotten a fever on their land, Shigure and the others would have more than likely ignored her.
"I'm going to make dinner now. Is there anything in particular that you would like?" She asked them.
They both pondered for a minute then Yuki said Strawberry salad and Kyo said FISH!
Tohru finally laughed and they both smiled at her.
"Y'know… you can still hang out with him if you want to, but can you please have one or both of us with you when you do? At least at first, I mean. Just so we can know that you are safe with him?" Kyo tentatively asked her.
Tohru smiled gently at them both and then nodded her head in agreement.
"Okay Kyo. I will. I don't want you to worry too much about me. I will tell you if he wants me to meet him and ask him if it's okay if one of you joins. If he doesn't like it I will decline his invitation." She stated firmly.
Kyo and Yuki were in perfect agreement with each other for the first time in both of their small lives.
They just hoped that this Kaname person didn't hurt their precious Tohru.
They would keep a close eye on this person and any more that turn up around her.
The two boys would literally do anything for Tohru and no one was going to get in between them and hurt her.
"Dinner will be done in a little while so go sit down and I will call you when it's time to set the table. Okay?" Tohru told them and then got to work.
"Hai!" they both said simultaneously and left the kitchen to go relax and work on any schoolwork they had left.

Time Skip Because I Want To!
It was dinnertime and almost everyone was there and ready to eat.
All except for Shigure as he had been late for a deadline AGAIN and his manager was not with him in his office watching him like a hawk to make sure he got everything done by the new deadline.
Tohru, Kyo and Yuki were eating and taking about things pleasant.
Nobody really wanted to bring up today.
When they were done eating, Tohru packed away the extra for Shigure when he was allowed to eat and did all the dishes.
Then she went to her room and did any work that she had missed doing so that she could turn it in to school on time.
She also did the next day's work as well because she was scheduled to work until late and would have no time to do it.
Then she took her bath after Kyo and Yuki were done with the washroom and changed into her nightclothes to go to bed.
She went over to her bedroom window and looked out over the forest for a moment, contemplating the new friend she hopes she had made and the surely uneventful week to come.
She turned from the window and approached the bed and got into it.
She turned out the light, turned to face the wall and fell asleep into wonderful dreams full of some mystery person.
She thought she knew him from somewhere.
He had silver hair and piercings in his ears.
She also had a feeling that she would be meeting him again… very soon.
This person was from her forgotten past.
One that even she didn't know she had.
Little did she know that the next week of her life was going to be far from uneventful.
Little did she know that she would meet that mystery person a lot sooner than she even thought.
AN!
Dear readers! I AM SO, SO, SO, SO, SO, SO SORRY! I had no idea that it would take me THIS LONG to update THIS story.
I tried, I really did, but nothing would come to me whenever I sat down and told myself to just do it and get it over with.
BUT!
This time I did it.
YAY!
So I honestly hope you enjoy. It WILL pick up again in the next few chapters.
I'm going to be putting another poll up on my profile so go check it out.
It's about another story of mine and I hope to get as many votes as I can.
Thank you all for sticking with me for so long even though I never really am consistent with my updating.
I'M SO SORRY!
But I will try harder from now on.
Sorry for the long authoresses' note, but I had to get all this out.
