Hi everyone! Sorry i haven't updated in a while...Thing have been pretty complicated in real life... Anyway Here is Chapter 6! Please Review... I would really appreciate it.
I might rewrite this chapter but IDK yet... :/
And the show goes on~
It's been about a week since the night the man came. He left, leaving nothing but the ropes that had bound him. He is still on the property, somewhere hidden in the woods. Tohru went back to the way she was. Not eating that much. Waking up in the night, screaming. She does talk a bit but she's quiet most of the time. Yuki has been helping her through it. Uo and Hana left for vacation a few days ago so Yuki is all she has right now.
Tohru sat on the couch beside Yuki, watching TV. She never leaves his side, now. Yuki can't help but wonder if it would be like this if Kyo and Shigure were still here. If she would be following Kyo around instead of him. He liked spending time with her but with Tohru like this, it just broke his heart.
"Yuki…." Tohru said, breaking the long silence. Yuki turned to her. "Yes?" She was staring at her lap, hair falling in front of her eyes. "Why do you think that man killed Amber….?" She asked quietly. Yuki didn't know how to respond. He looked at her for the longest time. He then sighed. "I don't know Miss Honda….." he said, looking away. "I don't know why anybody would do such cruel things…." Yuki then began to think about the special time he spent with Akito. All the pain he had suffered for so many years. He was just glad that Tohru was safe with him now.
Tohru looked up at Yuki. "Yuki….?" She asked, worried. He snapped out of his thoughts and looked at her, offering a gentle smile. "Everything's going to be fine….." he said. "Are you hungry Miss Honda?" he asked. Tohru shook her head. "Tohru…" she said. Yuki was confused. "What..?" he asked. A light blush appeared on Tohru's cheeks and she looked down again. "Call me Tohru…" she said quietly. "Like that night….." Yuki smiled softly. He turned her head to face him. "Don't be afraid to ask me anything, Tohru." Tohru smiled and nodded. "It's back…." he said, softly. The smile on Tohru's face dropped and she turned her head to the side. "Your smile… It's been so long since I saw it last..." The blush returned and Tohru, again, looked away.
There was a noise coming from Shigure's study. It was a video call from America. Yuki went into the study with Tohru standing by the door. "Don't you want to talk to them..?" Yuki asked. Tohru shook her head. He hit answer and there they were. "Hello Shigure." He said, not bothering to acknowledging the cat. "Hello Yuki! How are you?" Shigure asked. "Where is Tohru?" Yuki sighed. "I'm fine and Tohru is…" he looked over at Tohru, who sat down by the wall. "She hasn't been feeling well lately."
"What have you done to our poor flower?" Shigure asked dramatically. Yuki pinched the bridge of his nose. "Absolutely nothing…" he said. The phone then began to ring. Yuki looked up and realized that it was coming from the computer. "Oh that must be Aya! You two have fun chatting!" he yelled as he left the room to answer the phone. There had been a long silence between the two before Kyo finally spoke up. "Hey…" he began. "If Tohru is sick….make her leak stew (or soup…one of the two…)" he said looking away. Yuki let out a small laugh and smiled. Kyo was shocked. Yuki never smiled at him. He raised an eyebrow. "Thanks for the tip." He said. "Yeah, well. Don't expect anything else." With that, Kyo hung up and Yuki left the study with Tohru on his tail.
"Why don't we get out of here?" Yuki suggested, turning to Tohru. She just looked at him and thought. "To where?" she asked. "How about the lake house? We could bring along Hatori and Haru and Momiji." Tohru smiled and nodded. Yuki called Hatori and he agreed. The two went upstairs and started packing. Tohru was actually pretty happy that they were going. The farther away from this place the better. Hatori soon arrived with Momiji and Haru waiting in the car.
"Hello Hatori." Yuki said. He picked up the bags and walked to the car. Hatori was asking Tohru questions about how she has been feeling lately. She told him that she still had some pain but it was mostly gone. That she was still scared about the man in the woods and that she was glad she has Yuki by her side. Hatori smiled and they both went to the car.
Momiji and Hatori sat in the front with Haru, Tohru and Yuki in the back. Tohru sat in the middle with Haru and Yuki on either side of her. It was a long drive and Tohru, having not gotten a lot of sleep, rested her head on Yuki's shoulder and fell asleep. Yuki smiled at the sleeping girl and took hold of her hand. He gave it a squeeze and he could have sworn that he saw a smile appear.
It was pretty late when they arrived at the lake house. Though the moon had not risen yet, it was still pretty dark. Haru and Hatori gathered their belongings and brought them into the house. Momiji went inside to choose his room. Tohru was still asleep so Yuki picked her up bridal style and carried her in. He had chosen the room at the end of the hall, on the left, for him and the one right across, for Tohru. He gently laid her on the bed and knelt beside her. He brushed the hair away from her face and put it behind her ear. He smiled. 'She looks so peaceful…' he thought. He stood up and kissed her forehead and was about to leave the room when he heard Tohru stir in her sleep.
Her eyes fluttered open and she sat up. "Hey..." Yuki said. "Have a nice nap?" Tohru nodded and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. She stood up but, having just woken up, had a slight dizzy spell and started to fall. "Be careful!" Yuki yelled rushing to catch her. Luckily, he caught her before she hit the ground but now they were both on the ground. Tohru was on top of Yuki and she pushed herself up. "Are you alright?" he asked. Tohru nodded and blushed, getting off of Yuki. He sat up and smiled. "I hate to interrupt you two love birds but dinner is ready. " Said a voice coming from the door. "Haru!" Yuki shouted earning a laugh from the cow. Yuki and Tohru looked at each other for a moment then turned their heads away blushing. "We should probably get out there…" Tohru said. Yuki nodded and they both got up and left the room.
Later that night, after dinner, Tohru wasn't able to sleep. She got up, out of bed and left her room. She walked over to Yuki's door and lifted her fist, ready to knock. Sighing, she put her hand back down, not wanting to bother Yuki since he was sleeping. She decided to go for a walk, thinking that it might help. She walked for a while thinking about her time with Yuki. "I miss Kyo and Shigure and all but…. I don't want this to end…." She said to herself. Tohru then came upon the cliff that over looked the lake. The full moon shone beautifully as it reflected on the lake's surface. She smiled. "How beautiful…." She said. "Not as beautiful as you…." A voice said quietly. Tohru blushed and turned around. "Yuki….." He walked up to her and smiled. "Can't sleep?" he asked. Tohru shook her head and looked back out to the lake. They stood in silence for a long time until Tohru broke it. "Yuki…. What do you think of me…?" she asked, looking down so her hair would fall in front of her face. Yuki looked at her. 'What does she want me to say…?' he thought. He sighed and turned Tohru to face him. "Tohru…. I think you are a beautiful girl. Any guy would be lucky to have you…" he said. "I…I promise to never leave your side. I care about you… Too much to let you go…" Yuki hugged Tohru. She was shocked and a few tears went down her cheek. She didn't know how to respond. "Yuki…. i…."
