New friends old memories pt. 2

 

 

Koririn led every one into the entrance hall, were the dinner table was. She sat down quietly on the mat. Following suit, the others sat also sat down.

“Now then.” She said very quietly and calmly. Koryu rolled his eyes and she glared at him. “Tohru is a witch. Who doesn't understand that concept? No one?” she looked around the room and resumed talking. “Good. Now, here is something more complicated. Tohru,” she signaled at Tohru. “Has to come with us,” she pointed at her brother and then at herself. “To a… magical school. Understood?” she looked around and Kyo jumped up.

“How long will she be away? And where is this school? And what about money… and her job? Will she -“ Koririn cut him off.

“I'm getting to that!” she shouted. She looked pissed. “Now then! Do you comprehend my question or not?!” Kyo opened his mouth to speak and again she cut him off.

“Do you understand?!” she asked again. This time Kyo nodded and sat back down. The others stared at his awkwardly. It was not like Kyo to keep his mouth shut. Koririn sat down too.

“Whether you see Tohru in the entire year she will stay with us is completely up to her. You see, she will be able to return for the Christmas holidays. And of course… the program compiles that Tohru brings seven special people with her.” Shigure jumped up and leapt at Tohru. He began skipping around the room gaily.

“But,” `oh no… here comes the but.' Thought Shigure and he gazed worriedly at Tohru.

“They must all be under the age of eighteen.” Shigure pouted and sat back down. Tohru giggled absentmindedly.

“Why seven?” she asked.

“Because, seven and four are the most important numbers to the Wizarding world.” Answered Koririn. Tohru nodded. Little did she realize that both Yuki and Kyo were staring intently at her.

“You will have until tomorrow to decide who to bring.” Said Koririn. Tohru seemed worried now. She looked from Yuki to Kyo determinedly.

“Ok. The school is in Europe. Who knows were that is?” Koryu raised his hand.

“It's far away.” He mumbled sheepishly. Koririn threw a pillow at him.

“It's across the ocean.” She said smartly. They all stared at her in awe. “Ok. About money… Tohru is in the foreign exchange program so don't worry about paying for her school. She'll have to quit her job. And for her spell books and such… well,” she reached to her obi and pulled out a small gold key. “Dumbledor, our headmaster gave me this key. It's for an account that Tohru's mum left. She'll use that money. It's more than enough.” Kyo nodded.

“Bu-but… I WANNA GO TOO!” sobbed Shigure. Tohru smiled at him sadly and Koririn flicked his head.

“You can't go. SO GET OVER IT DUMBASS!” She stated superiorly. Shigure continued crying.

“Excuse me… miss Honda?” asked Yuki calmly. Tohru turned and smiled at him happily. “Whom will you bring with you tomorrow?” he asked nervously. Tohru nodded and held out her hand in front of her. She stuck seven fingers up.

“Well… Uo and Hanna make two.” She put two of her fingers down and stared at her hand.

“Perhaps Momiji and Haru. That's four. And Kagura…” she put down five fingers.

“… That makes five.” She whispered. “…”

Yuki stared at her. He knew that he too would be invited. “ And of course Kyo. And you… that's seven.” She finished and put down her remaining two fingers. Yuki smiled at her. Her words echoing through his mind. “ And of course Kyo… Kyo… Kyo.' Of course Kyo. What could she possibly mean by `and of course' `no.' thought Yuki. `I won't lose. I can't lose.'

“Yuki, what would you like to eat for breakfast?” asked Tohru sweetly. Her lips opened and closed tenderly. He let out the breath he had been holding and stared into her brown orbs.

“… Anything.” He whispered. He smiled at her and she smiled back sweetly. Koririn stared at the two in shock. `Eww.' She thought. `Not a cute couple.'

“And what would you like Koririn? Koryu?” they stared at her, shocked. “After all, you are my friends now. My new friends.” They smiled at her.

“Anything.” They said in unison. Koririn poked Kyo.

“What the hell do you want?!” he asked.

“I want… to know everything.” she whispered and sat across from him. Koryu and Yuki were deep into discussion, and Tohru was walking into the kitchen.

“What does `everything' mean?” he asked dryly.

“What are your feelings toward Tohru Honda?”

“Why the hell should I tell you?!”

“Because, I know that when you close you're eyes at night, you remember something…” he stared at her lips in horror. Her hair fell into position around her face. And she turned to stare at him.

“When you close you're eyes, what do you see?”
