Without You

Chapter 1

"Shigure, Yuki, Kyo... I-I think it's time for me to move out." I spoke softly right as we all finished our breakfast.

All three men dropped their jaws in shock. None of them had been expecting the news. I was now 23 years old and the Sohma's had definitely become my family but maybe now was the time to move out before I completely wore out my welcome.

"What?!" Kyo jumped to his feet in anger as the news sunk in.

"Kyo, sit down and let Tohru explain." Shigure spoke in an uncharacteristically low voice and Kyo did as he was told.

Yuki just fell strangely quiet and dropped his eyes to the empty plates that lay in front of him.

"I've been offered a job in Tokyo as a secretary. I-It's a really good opportunity and I know that I can't stay here forever, so ... so ..." Tears threatened to fall from my eyes but I fought them back with all my might and forced a big smile to my face before bowing respectfully to the three men before me. "Thank you for everything."

That day had been 6 months ago. I sat in the windowsill of my apartment, staring out over the vast city of lights and noise. This place was nothing like the calm, relaxing atmosphere of the Sohma house. There, we did things at our own place and there was always a smiling face nearby to great me when I came home. Here, every night I came home to a dark house and I only ever had myself to cook for.

Since coming to Tokyo, I'd had plenty of opportunities for dates but none of the men offering held any interest for me. After living so many years with the Sohma family and meeting so many different and exciting people, these everyday business men seemed incredibly dull and unemotional.

Today had been an exceptionally difficult day because one of the men who had asked me on a date also happened to be my boss. Everyday seemed to go the same way. Mr. Fujisawa would come in and make some small off-color comment that would make me blush. Then he'd tell me how much happier I would be if I'd only just let him take me out. Even though I turned him down, day in and day out, he still seemed to think that if he pushed a little harder, that I'd give in. Unfortunately, it just made me feel uncomfortable. If only Yuki and Kyo were here...

*RING, RING* It was 9am Friday morning when the phone rang loudly.

"Good morning, Mr. Fujisawa's office. How can I help you?" I answered with the friendliest voice that I could muster even though my boss had just told me that my job was going to become much more difficult in the future if I didn't give into his advances very quickly.

"Tohru?!" A loud, sweet voice greeted me with energy.

"M-Momiji?!" I was in shock. Could it really be him?

"Bingo! How are you? Are you well? Are you happy? We miss you!" Although the blonde haired boy was now in his early 20's, he hadn't changed must at all.

"W-Wow! I'm doing great. How is everyone?"

"Fine but I wanted to ask. Are you coming home this weekend?"

"Huh?" My mind began to swirl. Why would I be going home this weekend? I really missed everyone but had I forgotten some kind of event?

"It's White Day tomorrow! I wanted to go back to the hot springs. I'll take you. It'll be my treat!"

"B-But, I have to work."

"Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease!" He begged so adorably that I just didn't have the heart to say no and I really wanted to see him anyway so I sighed softly before replying.

"I'll talk to my boss and call you back with my answer tonight, okay?"

"Okay! Talk to you then!"

I hung up and fell back into my chair with a sigh. I was supposed to work tomorrow but I made a silent prayer that Mr. Fujisawa would let me go to see my friends.

"Ummm... excuse me, sir." I peeked into the office and saw Mr. Fujisawa doing some paperwork so I stepped inside.

"Oh, Miss Honda." He looked up from his paperwork and smiled with a gleam in his eyes that made me shift uncomfortably. "Have you finally reconsidered my offer."

"Ummm, no. Actually... I-I wanted to ask you for a favor."

"A favor?" He raised an eyebrow and moved his paperwork aside. "And what kind of favor would that be?"

"Well, my friends have asked me to come home for the weekend so I was wondering if I could have tomorrow off of work."

"And what will you do for me to make up for this major inconvenience." He stood up from his desk and looked down at me with a lustful sparkle in his dark eyes that I had to fight to keep from cringing from.

"Umm... What do you mean?" I asked and tried to play innocent, as if I had no clue of what the man wanted from me.

"Well, if I do you a favor, I think that you should do me a favor too."

"What kind of favor are you talking about?" I could feel my knees begin to shake nervously as the man moved even closer to me.

"Well, we could start with this." He took my chin in his hand firmly, so that I couldn't move away and them leaned down, pressing his rough, dry lips against my own. I felt nauseous and pushed him away from me.

"S-Stop." The word choked up in my throat but I finally got it out.

"That's just a sample of my favor. You can go this weekend but when you come back, be ready to pay me the rest of my favor." He smirked with a wicked gleam in his eyes.

"Thank you." I bowed to him respectfully and then fled from the room and ran into the restroom as fast as I could.

Once I had closed the stall door behind me, I let my tears roll down my cheeks. The man was disgusting but something told me that I had to go back home this weekend. Even if it meant having to deal with THAT man when I got back. After a few minutes, I composed myself and was able to smile. At least I would be able to see Momiji at the hot springs. That should make me feel better. I could deal with Mr. Fujisawa after that.

"Hello?" I heard Momiji's voice answer the phone and a new smile spread across my face.

"HI! My boss said yes so I can meet you up at the hot springs." I had called Momiji as soon as I'd gotten home from work and I panned to leave first thing in the morning so that I could arrive at the springs by midday.

"Really?! That's great. I'll meet you there. We'll have so much fun!"

"Okay, see you tomorrow!" By the time that I'd hung up the phone, I was glowing with excitement. No matter what problem I seemed to be facing, the junnishi members always seemed to be able to make me feel like everything would be okay.

That's when my mind trailed off to Kyo and Yuki. I'd heard that Kagura had finally persuaded Kyo to go out with her and they both actually seemed really happy. That made me feel good but then I thought of Yuki. How was he? I'd heard very little about him since I'd left and I'd only even talked to him twice since then as well but both times he'd seemed down. I just hoped that he was all right. Not a day went by that thoughts of him hadn't crossed my mind.

"Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!" The taller blonde man came running out the front door to greet me at my car as I drove up.

"HI Momiji. How are you?" I smiled widely. "You look more handsome then ever."

"You do too!" He took my hand in his and pulled me towards the door. "Hurry! I have a surprise for you!"

"A-A surprise?"

"Yup! Come on ... let's go!" He pulled me into the house and down the hallway until we reached the biggest room in the resort.

"TADA!!!" Momiji threw the door open and my jaw dropped in shock.

"Momiji, what are you yelling about?"

I watched Yuki turn around to face the door where Momiji and I stood. At first, he didn't seem to realize I was there but after a moment, he jumped to his feet and looked at me in shock.

"Tohru?!" He looked wonderful. He wore a pair of white slacks and a comfortable looking blue top. His hair looked as perfect as always and his violet eyes shone beautifully. That's when I realized how much I'd really missed him.

"Yuki!"

"TADA!" Momiji smiled proudly and then back out of the doorway. "This is my surprise to you both. Happy White Day! I am going swimming. See ya!" The Momiji ran off, leaving Yuki and I alone.
