"Talking"
'thinking'
Recap
Tohru and Yuki heard Shigure talking to someone from the living room, so they went to go see who it was.
"Shigure who's ther-" Tohru froze and her eyes went wide. "No way…" she whispered but loud enough for everyone to hear.
Chapter 2
Tohru just stood there. Frozen and wide eyed. She opened her mouth to speak but nothing came out.
The girl at the door smiled. "It's been a long time hasn't it? Luna." All three zodiac members became confused with this comment. "What are you talking about? And who the hell is 'Luna'?" Kyo said breaking the silence. After hearing her name, Tohru took a step forward and then smiled. "It is you. Amber!" She ran up and hugged her friend. "It's been so long. What are you doing here?" Amber looked at Tohru and smiled. She was glad to see her friend again. She was grateful that she was ok and well. 'These boys are lucky that she isn't hurt' She thought before she answered her cheerful friend.
"We moved here and I got directions, to find this place, from your grandfather." Everyone else just stared dumbfounded while the girls began to catch up on what each other has missed, completely forgetting about that there are other people in the room. "Um…Miss Honda?" Yuki decided to speak since no one else would and then Kyo joined in. "What the hell is going on here?"
Tohru spun around, bowed and smiled. "Oh I'm sorry. Everyone this is my child hood friend, Amber. I met her in America when mom and I traveled there. And Amber, these are the Sohmas. I've been living with them since a little while after mom died."
Shigure looked at his watch. "Well we'd loved to stay and chat but we have a plane to catch. Come along Kyo." Kyo just glared at him and scowled. "Fine." And they both left without another word.
As they left, Tohru waved and yelled be safe to them. Tohru, Yuki, and Amber went into the living room to talk. Well it was more like for Tohru and Amber to catch up while Yuki just listened. In fact, he was perfectly content with listening. Tohru was smiling. He loved when she smiled. This way, he could stare at her smiling face without being noticed. Well, untilhe was noticed.
Then Tohru got up and went upstairs to get something. This caused Yuki to snap out of his little world in space and come back down to earth. He watched Tohru leave and when she was out of sight; he turned back to Amber just to find her staring at him with narrow eyes. This caused him to blush for some unknown reason. Amber then smirked, pointed at Yuki and said "Ah-ha. You like her don't you." This caused his blush to spread. "You do! And by your reaction, you haven't told her yet, now have you?"
Yuki didn't respond. He just looked down. Amber's smile left her face as she began to apologize for saying something that may have upset him. "Look I'm sorry if what I said upset you. Anyway, just be good to Luna. She's like a sister and if she gets hurt, the person who caused it will pay the consequences." After Amber had said this, Yuki looked up to see her smiling. He gave her a small smile back and then began to think. "Why do you call her Luna?" Just then, Tohru came back with an amber encrusted, silver bracelet. "Oh that. It's a nickname that she gave me. It's sort of a thing that her whole family does. Even Mom had a nickname." Amber explained all that was to tell about her family's little tradition. That's when an idea popped into her head. "Hey Luna, why don't we celebrate for our little reunion? You, Yuki and I could do something together." Yuki whipped his head to look at Amber. He was surprised by this comment. "You don't need to invite me. It's something that you two should celebrate by yourselves." When hearing this, Tohru got a sad look in her eyes. "Nonsense. We want you to come. Isn't that right, Luna?" Tohru smiled and nodded. "Come on Yuki. It'll be fun."
All Yuki could do was smile, which, in Tohru's book, was a yes.
The three walked to their destination. Yuki had no idea where they were going, and by the looks of it, neither did Tohru. They both asked where they were heading but Amber either said nothing or said it was a surprise. They two looked at each other and shrugged and followed silently. They finally stopped and Amber Spun around and said "Ta da!" They were at a Karaoke Joint. (A/N I have no idea what they are called, them karaoke places…some people call them joints so please bear with me) Yuki didn't really get why they were here. So his curiosity took over and he asked. "Why are we here, exactly?" Amber smiled brightly and then looked at Tohru, who was looking down and had a faint blush. "Well, in all the years that I've known Luna, she has been in love with singing and I know for a fact that she has an amazingvoice." Yuki hadn't known this. He looked at Tohru and she was still looking down. 'I never heard her sing besides that time at the hot spring.' It was silent for a little bit until Tohru broke the silence saying that they should go in.
They all had fun and sang. Even Yuki. 'He has an amazing voice. I wonder why he doesn't sing at home.' Tohru thought as she clapped.
It was Tohru's turn to pick and sing a song before they would move on the songs that that would all sing and laugh to. Tohru couldn't really find anything that she liked. She kept on thinking and thinking. Amber watched her. She then leaned over and whispered in Tohru's ear and then left the room. Tohru smiled at what Amber had said to her. When Amber came back, Tohru stood up at the mic stand and waited for the music to start. The song she was about to sing was a song she knew very well. Her mother had sung it to her when she was younger and then taught it to her. Amber had the music to the song, on her phone. Her mother had it on her phone and so she sent it to her daughter.
The music started and she began to sing. (A/N The song is from Mermaid Melody and is call birth of love by Seira if you'd like to listen to it yourself. Disclaimer: I don't own the song or the lyrics)
Ai to yume ga
hitotsu ni nari
Kanashii "ima" wo
Hoshikuzu ni shite
Kureru Kara
Shinjite…
Umareta koto
hokori ni shite
Tsuyoku hikaru tenshi
no you na
manazashi wo kumora
senaide
Kono chikara
yume no tame ni
Kaseru nara
umarete yukitai no
Ai ni naritai…
Tohru ended her song with a bow. Yuki's jaw dropped in the middle of her song. "You're amazing." He said as he clapped. Tohru blushed and thanked him. After Tohru got a bunch of praises from her friends, they moved on to their "laughter songs." They started with 'Witch doctor', (A/N by Alvin and the chipmunks not the other one) then 'Dam dadi do' and finally 'we like to party'.
They returned to Shigure's house and Tohru made dinner. The three talked and laughed. Yuki learned some things about Amber and many new things about Tohru. After they had finished dinner, Amber decided to head home. She gave Tohru directions to her house and told her to come over for dinner the next day. Tohru was going to pass on the offer, seeing that Yuki would be home alone, but Yuki said that he would invite Momiji or Haru while she was gone. After Yuki said this, Tohru then accepted her friends offer.
After Amber had left, Yuki and Tohru talked about things that they didn't know about each other.
~~~~~The Next Day~~~~~
"Alright I'm leaving." Tohru said to Yuki, Momiji and Haru as before she left. "Bye! Be Safe!" Momiji yelled as he waved to Tohru as she walked down the forest path in the darkness of the night.
When Tohru got to Amber's house, there was a note that read "In the back. We'll be eating there. My parents are out so it's just us." Tohru smiled and then began walking towards the back. She looked around and didn't see Amber. "Amber, where are yo-"Tohru stop what she was saying as she looked ahead. Her eyes widened in horror and she let out a blood curdling shriek of fear. She dropped to ground and began to tremble.
