The Friends

~White Harus. P.O.V-
Every time I look into Tohrus eyes, I feel calmer. I always feel a little better about myself, and sometimes, I want to love my brother.
If only he hadnt done what he did this morning.
But it was all fading as Tohru and I hung out throughout the day, and well after school.
We were at the gates, the day was ending and it was around four. Hey Tohru, I called. Can I walk you home?
Tohru smiled invitingly at me. Of course, Haru. She stopped adding kun by lunch time when it was only us two talking.
She and I walked down, the way my apartment complex was. The two of us were silent, the wind brushing against us as we walked.
It wasnt an uncomfortable silence, it was a companionable silence where words were actually spoken.
We walked, and I was becoming suspicious that she lived somewhere near me.
It was when she walked into my apartment building that I turned around and told her. You live in the same building as me.
Tohru smiled. Great minds think alike.
Shallow pockets do too. I murmured.
If she was living in here, there was a great chance that she was alone and didnt have enough money.
What floor are you on? I asked.
The top. She replied.
Im on the third. I told her. My apartments pretty big.
Oh.
I must have sounded like I was bragging, but I was trying to solve a problem that we both had.
Tohru, I said as we walked into the building. Passing the lobby. You live alone, dont you?
Yeah, She said slowly, avoiding my gaze as we continued to the elevator.
Then take me to your apartment. I have a proposition for you.
She looked out of the elevator doors and into the lobby. Suddenly, her face lit up and she threw her school back between the quickly shutting doors and cried out, Uo-chan! Hana-chan!
Two girls wearing green plaid skirts with a white blouse and green jacket were walking quickly towards us.

-Arisas P.O.V-
I saw Tohru smiling and waving at us as she stood beside this boy who was obviously no good.
But then again, she was my friend. Perhaps he was hers.
Uo-chan! She repeated. How are you? Oh, Hana-chan, I missed you guys!
We slipped into the elevator, me and Hana.
Hana, the shorter of the two of us smiled at Tohru, and hugged her. How are you, Tohru-kun?
Tohru smiled at us and I was grinning at her. The fellow next to her scooted towards her.
Tohru, I asked. Is this a friend of yours? I glared at the boy whose hair was unique.
Oh yes! She said grinning. This is Hatsuharu. Hes my friend from school.
I smiled at the Hatsuharu boy. He was her friend, huh?
You dont have any other friends?
Tohru shook her head grinning. But Haru is very nice to me. She turned to Hatsuharu and waved a hand to us. This is my friend, Arisa Uotani, and Saki Hanajima.
We came for a visit. Saki explained.
We wanted to see how the first day of school was. I said grinning. So how was it?
It was fine! Tohru said. Its different from our last school, but none are really the same.
Of course not! I said. Then it wouldnt matter what school we attended.
So true. Hatsuharu interjected. So what school did you guys come from?
Holy Cross.
The boy looked stunned.
Did we mention we got kicked out? Saki said with a smirk.
What!? Tohru gasped in surprise. Why?
Well. . . I stared, crossing my arms behind my head. I got into a few scuffles with some dirty chicks, and Saki told the principle she would do a lot of things to his system if he kicked me out and not her.
I felt the buzzing vibrations from Saki. And I can do a lot of things. her voice was quiet.
Her dark purple eyes were locked on Hatsuharu, her black hair frizzing because of the vibes of shock he was sending out into the air. Her pale skin was turning delicious shades of pink, and I smiled down at her.
Dont mess his system up. I warned. Tohru actually likes a guy.
What do you mean by that? Hatsuharu asked.
Tohru can explain later, were here.
The elevator doors opened, and we exited. Down the hall, to the far left to the door with blind numbers.
Then Tohru let us in.


~Sakis P.O.V-

Youre living with me. I said immediately.
Tohrus apartment had nothing in it but a futon. It was small, and squashed and had no balcony only a small window and a kitchen that was half of the apartment.
I couldnt stand my beloved Tohru living in this little place, and all alone. I turned to look at the door and realized that there wasnt a single lock on the door.
My precious Tohru, adorable Tohru, was all alone in the furthest corner of the apartment, far away from us, with a door that could be picked by the lowest of slime balls!? And from what I was feeling, they all seemed to know Tohru was here, alone, and were all slime balls.
Tohru turned to me. Hana-chan, She said smiling. Its not all that bad.
Youre living with me. I insisted.
But you have seven people in your house.
Well, I have a proposition, and since youre her friends, Hatsuharu said. Then you can give her your opinion, as well as mine, What Im proposing will be bold, and please dont think less of me. But, I am only thinking of her welfare, and my own.
I think I already knew what it was. But was he going to say it?
He took a deep breath and gazed into Tohrus eyes. I have an apartment with two rooms on the third floor. I have a kitchen, a bathroom and electricity and water. The basics. He stopped. So, now that I see your flawed apartment, and your friends dismay, perhaps you should either live with your friend- or- you and I could live in my apartment, downstairs, and your friends can come over whenever to watch my behavior. The catch is, well be splitting cost for the apartment, and Ill buy the food. Unless you eat out, then fine by me.
Or, instead of paying half for the apartment, you could be more or less my live in maid. I pay you room, necessities- excluding food- and you keep my apartment clean and what not.
I was a little dazed. It was as I thought.
Oh, no! Tohru said. I couldnt be a bother-
Thats why Im asking you to live with me. Hatsuharu said. You could pay rent, and still not worry the three of us with you living here alone with no protection from scum bags who would rape or molest or harass you.
Tohru paled.
Well. . .

Was that all she had to do? I asked Haru. He and I were becoming good friends, I understood that he would watch out for her- not take advantage of her.
Uo was not as confident. I still cant believe it.
As long as shes safe. I said. His vibes were honest. And I will be able to tell you when he takes her by force.
Thats a relief. Uo said sarcastically.
Better than nothing. I replied.
Haru nodded at my first question. The managers know me pretty well. They dont think Im into girls, so her reputation here is fine.

A/N: Chapter three is DONE!! HA HA HA HA HA !!! Didnt I tell you something momentous would happen?

Tohrus living with Haru now. Hmm. . .how will other people react? How will YOU react? Will school for Tohru be a little better? Or will it get worse?
