"TOHRU!"

Tohru jumps up from her daydream, stood up and stare confusingly at the teacher.

"Hai!"

"Read the next chapter following after what one of your classmate had just read."

"H..Hai..."

Tohru starts to sweat drop as she realise that she have been day dreaming through out the lesson and have no idea what her teacher is asking her to do. She stays quiet while rummaging through her table for a book, which they were reading from.

"I presume that you haven't been paying attention and are not quite ready yet."

Her face saddens a bit and nod.

"I'm so sorry, I promise that it won't happen again."

The teacher frown and turns back to the black board to jot down class work.

"I let you off this once only, it should not happen again. You are bright but I cannot accept any students in my class day dreaming during a lesson. You can sit down now."

"Hai...."

Tohru felt eyes staring at her, she look around and saw Kyou and Yuki staring at her. She smile lightly at their direction causing Kyou to blush a faint pink and Yuki to smile back and turn away to blush lightly to himself.

Tohru sighs softly. [Kyou-kun and Yuki-kun must think that I'm really stupid and that I daydream too much. I must've disappoint them. I'll apologise later or maybe after school]. Tohru shakes the thought out of her head before she start to daydream again, she turn her attention back to her teacher.

*Bringggggggg!!!!!!!*

Everyone start yawning when end of school bell went off. The day has been a very tiring one and everyone wants to go home as soon as possible. Tohru headed out of class in time to catch up with Yuki and Kyou.

"Gomen Yuki-kun and Kyou-kun!"

Yuki and Kyou turn around at the same time to look at Tohru questionly.

"Why are you apologising for?", Kyou ask confusingly.

"Errr......About me day dreaming in class. I can see that Yuki-kun and Kyou-kun were very disappointed in me, I'm such a baka to actually daydream in class."

Yuki steps forward and placed a hand on Tohru's shoulder.

"Me and baka neko would never be disappointed in Honda-san. Never think like that, Honda-san does whatever Honda-san would like to do. We are not there to tell you what to do or what not to do."

Kyou glares at Yuki for calling him baka neko.

"Yeah... whatever Yuki said."

"Lazy mouth."

"Nani!!! What's the point of repeating yourself when someone has already said it for you."

"I bet that you weren't even thinking about what I said."

"Oh and how would you know?"

"You were never good with words, especially when it comes to Honda-san."

"Are you trying to fight with ME!"

Kyou jumps into a fighting stance.

"Baka neko, you know that I can beat you any time any day."

Kyou was about to jump at Yuki when Tohru grab his hand and tug it.

"Kyou-kun! Please stop! I didn't mean to start all this problem, please Kyou-kun. Don't fight."

Kyou could see small tears forming in her eyes. His eyes before were burning bright red but now were slowly fading away. He steps back and place a hand on Tohru's head.

"Let's go home already, I'm starving."

Tohru looks up at Kyou and smiles. She wipes the tears away from her eyes and looks at Yuki to smile at him too.

"Sorry Honda-san, we didn't mean to make you worry. Let's go home now."

Tohru nods and walks out of the school along with Kyou and Yuki unaware of the glares and hisses made by Yuki's fan club.

During the walk home, Tohru cheerfully held out her hands to Yuki and Kyou. Kyou looks at it and hesitantly took her hand. He looks away quickly to hide his blushing face, he was pretty sure that right now, his face was red as a tomato. He took a tiny peek at Tohru and looks up to see Yuki smiling his most rare smile and lightly took Tohru's hand.

[That god dam mouse! I wish that it were only me and Tohru holding hands, one day I will have that opportunity with her. If not then I will have to make it happen.]

Kyou look straight ahead to daydream about him and Tohru being alone together.

Yuki was surprised when Tohru held out her hand to him, he also noticed that she held her hand out to baka neko too. He gave her a smile and took it gently, her hand was so tiny and soft. He took a glance at Kyou to see him blush and staring at Tohru. Yuki looked away with boiling rage, but remembers that he was holding Tohru's hand.

[I will control my temper just for her, I don't care if that baka neko is holding hands with her too but at least I will try to imagine that it's only me and Tohru walking home alone, hand in hand.]

Yuki and Kyou didn't notice that Tohru was looking at them smiling and in thought. She held her grip on their hand a little tighter. She was pretty sure that she was blushing and hopes that Yuki and Kyou wouldn't notice.

[Ahh okaasan, I'm so happy that Yuki-kun and Kyou-kun aren't fighting anymore. I hope they can keep it up, I don't like it when they fight. It's very scary sometimes and I don't like to see anyone hurt. I'll try my best to keep it like this.]

*·.,.·*·.,.·*·.,.·*·.,.·*·.,.·*·.,.·*·.,.·*·.,.·*·.,.·*·.,.·*·.,.·*·.,.·*·.,.·*·.,.·*·.,.·*·.,.·*·.,.·*·.,.·*·.,.·*

Meanwhile, far away from Tohru's, Yuki's and Kyou's view. Two beautiful eyes watches them walk home, he blinks slowly as eyelashes falls on his cheek lightly and is brought up again. He sighs, looks up at the sky and smiles. It was a rare smile that any girl would give up their life to see, or even a glance would be good enough. He walks out from where he was hiding and smooths out all the leaves and flowers which has attached themselves to him.

[She is so beautiful and cute, how can anyone resist her? I'm very sure that Yuki and Kyou are in love with her but they don't have the guts to tell her so. God how her smile can easily bring a lotus flower from its muddy water and yet can still smell so nice and sweet. Yes, that's it. She is like a lotus flower, surrounded by yucky and smelly water. Despite her surrounding, she is sweet, cute, beautiful, kind and loving. Ahhhh...... a beautiful lotus flower, alone from the other entire lotus flower who cannot bloom in such places. Ready and waiting for a handsome Sohma to come along and pick her up away from such disgrace.]

He looks back to where Tohru and the other two boys had disappeared off around a corner. He walks up a hill to a tree far away from the house where Tohru lives and took in his surrounding. It was so peaceful, so beautiful and so cool. He looks up at the beautiful tree ahead of him, it was a big tree and is isolated from other trees. It is spring now and all the bright pink flowers had already bloomed their best and some is caught in the gentle breeze.

He sat down beneath the tree, his usual place every evening. He looks at his long slender finger, it was smooth and beautiful in a way that no words can describe it. He reaches in his long pocket to pull out a black wallet. He opens it up and flips through a number of cards and money, he smiles when he finds what he was finding.

A neat red material wrapped around a flat rectangle shape, it was tied with a thin thread made of gold colour and a small heart shape can be seen on the end of the threads. His beautiful eyes grew soft as he unwraps the package slowly and pulls out a small photo.

One could say that the photo was taken real care of, it was laminated and has a gold trim around its border. He flips the photo around to show a very beautiful picture of Tohru smiling softly at the camera. He had taken it secretly without anyone knowing, hell. if Yuki or Kyou knows about this then the picture right now wouldn't be in his hand anymore.

He smiles a very handsome smile as he looks at Tohru's beautiful shiny eyes. He was very lucky to have taken a photo of her in her natural state. He took many photo of her on that day but this was the best, it caught all her beauty feature and best of all, she was looking at his direction.

Still looking at the photo, he noticed that his heart is thumping a bit more fast than usual but he was use to it by now.

He sat there smiling as he replayed the scene of the first time he ever met her. She was cute at first, he didn't seem to notice anything else beside the cuteness. He heard before that she knows about their deep and sorrow secret, it was panic at first. He didn't know whether to trust her or not, he had gone through enough pain and embarrassment to trust anyone again about their secret.

He had tried to avoid knowing her at first but it kept ending up as a failure. She was on everyone's lips, they all said nice things about her and how her cooking impresses them. That was then that he decided to pay a visit to her, sure he wasn't the only one who haven't met her yet. He also liked the way she kept their secret, most of the jyuunishi didn't worry about her knowing it. He had to find out for himself.

He had nothing to say every time they met, it was only hello and goodbye. Somehow, along that line, the conversation between them was strengthened up as he and she were more familiar with each other. He didn't know how it happened or why but he was glad that it did happen.

Now he was only left with a bond of friendship between her, she knows nothing about his feelings for her nor the gazing that he would often give her. He recently made up his mind about his feelings for her. It was love and he cannot help it when he would take more than an hour to just daydream about her. He of course dreamed that one-day he would want her to know his feelings.

Know his feelings......

Knowing all the feelings he has for her.......

The feelings he gets when she is near.......

The feelings he experiences when she talks to him.......

The feelings he loves when she smiles cutely at him........

BUT.......BUT.......

How will things turn out once he lets her know his feelings for her.

How will she react then?

Will she be the same as always and act like nothing had happen?

Return her feelings and it turns out that she loves him too?

Runaway because she's scared?

He just doesn't know! It was all too complicating to think about it. He was too scared of her reaction and response. It was their relationship that stopped him from telling her. He didn't want their relationship to change, well sure he wants her to be his girlfriend or maybe even wife which is too much ahead to think about. He was afraid of losing her, telling her that he love her maybe would trigger a lost bondage between them. But she could love him back and they would be with each other forever.

He didn't know which decision to choose but that was a long time ago. His decision have been chosen now, it's a difficult one but he's pretty sure that it's the best one. He chose to hide his feelings for her and keep the special relationship they have now. It's better than losing her forever and treating each other as strangers. He can't live with that, it's too painful.

A tear rolls down his cheek. He was unaware of how sad he was while thinking about not knowing her.

He brings the laminated photo to his heart and vows that he will never forget and leave her. Another tear were trying to make its way to his eyes, it took all his strength to stop it from coming.

The colour of the sky brought his attention back to reality, its getting darker and he is to be home before anyone noticed that he was gone. He brought the picture to his lips and lightly kissed it.

He whisper softly to the picture "Take care my sweet lotus flower........I love you...... and I will always forever ..... no..... for eternity......".

He places the picture back into its red material and tied it with the gold thread. He carefully places it back into his wallet and slid the wallet in his pocket. Standing up and doing a little stretch, he notice that he had sat there for so long and now his back is aching.

-At Midnight-

He sat up, looks around and softly spoke to himself.

"Why can't I sleep, I know tomorrow is a busy day but hell why can't I sleep. I'm positive that I'm tired right now."

he stands up and walks over to his window. It was wide open and he could see the sky above.

[It's so beautiful, beautiful just like her. No.. she is much more beautiful than the sky. The most beautiful lotus flower in the world.]

He gave a long yawn.

"Guess it's time to sleep for sure now."

He was about to turn around and go to bed when he remembers something.

[I forgot to say goodnight to my sweet angel]

He looks up at the sky and spots the most brightest star.

"Goodnight my beautiful lotus flower, I hope you get a goodnight sleep. It's going to be a busy day tomorrow and you will need the energy. Don't ever change my sweet angel, you are perfect the way you are. I wish I can give you a goodnight kiss right now but that is just an impossible wish."

He yawns a second time and turns around. He walks slowly towards his bed and buries himself beneath the soft blanket. His breathing starts to slow down in slow paces and he drifts off to sleep.

The whole room is quiet except for his soft breathing and every now and then, a small mumbling can be heard from his mouth. Mumbling a sound that is too tiny to hear but one can tell that he is calling out to his sweet angel, a tear rolls down as his mumbling stops and whispers only four little words before drifting off.

"I love you Tohru"
