When they got to school, Yuki and Kyo followed her to all her classes, making her feel like a princess being escorted everywhere. At lunch , all the Sohmas, plus Arisa and Saki, formed a protective group around her, but when she had to go to the bathroom, it seemed a bit strange that they all, being boys, follow her, so Tohru went alone. In that short time, between walking to the bathroom, and back to her friends, she was surrounded by the Prince Yuki fanclub. The girls who had teased her yesterday came up front to her. "Honda, we're sorry we teased you yesterday, and if you tell Yuki that we've apologized, we'd like that allot. But you're still our rival, and...even though we can't hurt you, because we'd be hurting the Prince too, we'd like you to know that we wish very dearly to hurt you.
" Tohru didn't know what to say to this, so when Yuki and Kyo came shouting at the girls, she said simply, "Guys, they were only apologizing about yesterday." She glanced at Yuki, whose face she was unable to read. He felt a mixture of love and sorrow for Tohru, because, not the she's involved with the Sohmas, the curse is rubbing off on her also. Yuki wasn't going to let it consume her though, he couldn't, he loved her... Though, after that, Tohru became once again as her usual self.
Throughout the day, Tohru laughed at funny things, like usual and when school was over, she had work, and so off she went. She worked harder than usual, and, despite Momiji being there, it was quite an accomplished evening. She got to meet Momiji's father, who'd heard much about her, despite him not being a member of the zodiac. (To her great surprise, she found that she had received a 2$ pay rise per hour in her pay check, which she went to speak to her employer about, though, he just shrugged, and said that for all the work she does, she deserved it. Of course Tohru protested, but was shot down, he said she deserved it, and it wasn't going to change.) She walked out of the building with a big smile on her face, now earning nine dollars an hour, instead of only seven. She was thinking of all the things she could do with her money, like invest, and save, and she could go to college or university...or...become a doctor like Hatori. She had stars in here eyes, her cheeks were flushed from all the running she'd been doing, and her face was very glad.
Yuki saw this, and said "Wow, you sure look happy miss Honda! That makes me happy aswell..." He smiled his lovingly protective smile at her, who just became more flushed.
"I got a pay rise...a really good pay rise. Now I can save-up for a higher education!"
Yuki smiled, "Oh that's right, you work for a Sohma don't you? Yes Momiji's father was always a nice person, he didn't know about the curse either, until Momiji...well, I'm sure Momiji has already told you the story."
"Yes...we had to go talk to his father after that, about the cameras seeing us..." Yuki smiled 'So like Tohru, she'd hug anyone.' Yuki thought as they were nearing their little garden, which was blooming very nicely, and seeing as how tomorrow was Saturday they would be picking a few things, and planting some more, tomorrow was strawberry picking day. Tohru gazed at the beautiful garden, sparkling in the moonlight. Yuki took her hand, and they smiled at eachother, and continued their walk home, hand in hand. When they neared visible range of the house, they were laughing and joking, rather noisily, though, seeing as how they were isolated by woods, it didn't really matter how loud they were. Kyo, who was perched-up on the roof, looking like he was ready to pounce on them, but neither noticed, as they walked into the house, still holding hands.
Shigure poked his head round the corner to his studio, when he heard the sound of Tohru's laughter. "So good to hear you laughing again Tohru, you hadn't a clue how worried we all were of you. Now, what's for dinner, I'm starving!"
"Oh, I'll get right on that." She said and innocently walked into the kitchen, and busied herself about dinner.
Once it was ready, about half an hour later, it was already 8:30, and Tohru had to go upstairs to study for her test the next day. She fell asleep on the last page of her notes, dreaming about roaming through the world with historic figures, fighting, and watching the tragic explosions of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. . .
Shigure found Tohru sleeping on her desk in the morning, when he noticed that it was almost time to be getting-up, and she was usually up before him. He smiled, and walked over to her. "Tohru, Tohru. It's time to get-up now, or you're going to be late for your test..."
She sat bolt-upright at the sound of this. "My test? Oh, I never set my alarm last night...Shigure! Oh dear, I fell asleep!" She scurried around her room gathering her school things, and stuffing them into her bag. She then got out a school uniform, and laid it out on her bed. Tohru directed her attention at Shigure, "Thank-you so much for waking me up in time...what do you want for breakfast?" She asked as they walked downstairs together,
"Oh I don't know, you pick something."
"Oh, well... what about pancakes?"
"That sounds good"
The rest of the morning consisted of a fistfight between Yuki and Kyo over the last pancake, but while they were duking it out, Shigure ate it. On the way to school Tohru dropped all of her books, and they arrived just on time for classes. At lunchtime, Tohru decided that she would go to the study hall, to ask the teachers a few questions before her test. Yuki found everyone else up on the roof, in their usual hang-out spot. Saki and Arisa were talking intently with the others. They saw Yuki arrive, and ushered him into the group.
"Okay guys, listen. It's Tohru's birthday on the 19th, that's next week, so what are we going to do for her 16th birthday? We have to take her somewhere really special...like on a camping trip or something. I don't know, what do you think she'd like?" Arisa asked.
Momiji was smiling, but Kyo, Haru and Yuki weren't. "Why didn't she tell us it was her birthday next week?"
"Why doesn't she tell us anything about her?"
"It's almost like she doesn't want us to know anything...like she thinks we don't care..." they said in succession to one another.
"Tohru never told us anything either. We had to find out from her mother. Tohru is too obsessed with other people, that she forgets to tell anyone anything about herself." Saki explained.
"I think a big trip like that, after the one Momiji gave her for white day, and the one Shigure took us on in golden week would overwhelm her. Perhaps a surprise party would be the best. Then she wouldn't feel uncomfortable." Yuki suggested.
Arisa smiled, "Yes, I like that idea, a surprise sweet sixteen."
Saki's demeanour turned depressed "Oh Arisa, our little Tohru is growing-up so fast! Just think, one day she's going to be a new bride, and we'll lose her forever..." Saki started crying into Arisa's shirt.
"I think you're getting a bit ahead of our time there Saki. That won't happen for another three years.." at this, Arisa started bawling her eyes out aswell while the guys were staring strangely at eachother.
"That's right! Because I'm going to be the one Tohru marries!" Momiji declared, to whom both Yuki and Kyo shot challenging glares.
Saki and Arisa lifted their heads to see Yuki and Kyo with their backs to eachother, Momiji beaming, and Haru looking confused. Suddenly,
Tohru came up the stairs to the roof, and looked around at everyone. "Hey guys, I think I'm ready for my test. I got all the help I needed from the teachers, and they said I'll probably get a good mark! Isn't that great!"
Tohru was given a big hug by Saki, who was still crying. "Oh Tohru, don't ever get married alright? I want you to stay our little Tohru forever."
"Hey, you can't tell her what to do! If she wants to get married she'll get married!" Kyo shouted.
"To meeee!" Momiji declared once more as he leapt for Tohru, but Kyo struck him down. "Waaaaa, Tohru, Kyo hit me!" Momiji cried.
"Honestly, you all act like children! Momiji, Tohru doesn't want to be hugged at school, and Saki, Tohru will marry if she finds the right man for her." Haru said. He glanced at Yuki while saying 'the right man' for Tohru.
Yuki turned away. "I should go gather my things for next class. I'll see you later Tohru." Tohru smiled lovingly after him.
"Oh.. I think Tohru's got the hots for someone!!!" Momiji shouted, this made Yuki look back to see Tohru's face going red.
"Uhhhhh....." Oh no! Yuki's looking right at me....can he tell? What if he can? Oh nothings going to be the same between us again. Tohru thought as her face went redder.
Saki stepped in again, "Oh my precious Tohru!" At that moment the bell rang, as though someone was watching out for her feelings.
"Oh the bell, I've got to get to class!" Tohru said, and ran past Yuki on the stairs, who was dumbstruck. She got into her classroom, and sat in her chair, ready for her test. Her face still beet red, and embarrassed as all hoo. She avoided Yuki for the rest of the day, but she knew that she'd have to face him eventually, today was strawberry picking day afterall...her...alone...with Yuki...
" Tohru didn't know what to say to this, so when Yuki and Kyo came shouting at the girls, she said simply, "Guys, they were only apologizing about yesterday."
