"Thank you for the drive. I'll be over tomorrow. Bright and early!" Tohru smiled getting out of the car and back into the rain.
She waved to Hitori as he drove away and then made her way into the house. She took of her shoes and began to make her way to her bedroom, trying to get as little water as possible on the floor. The house appeared to be empty so far. She continued her way up to her bedroom. 'Hmm no ones home. Then I guess they won't mind me having another bath!' Tohru smiled as she grabbed some dry clothes. She walked into the bathroom and sat her things down. As she began to take of her clothes she realized she was still wearing Hitori's jacket. 'Ah! I forgot to give it back. I'll have to bring it back tomorrow.' Tohru thought as she walked back to her room to find a place for it to dry.
After a nice hot releasing bath Tohru put on a plain dress and tied her hair into two braids. She made her way downstairs to the kitchen. Still no one was home. Looking through the fridge Tohru started grabbing things for supper. There was a low grumble coming from her stomach. 'I guess I should have eaten today!' Tohru sighed as she began to prepare food.
"I'm home." Came Shigure's voice.
"Okari!" Tohru smiled as Shigure entered the kitchen.
"Ah Tohru it smells great!" Shigure said hovering over towards the food, "How was your day?"
"Great actually! Sensei even drove me home."
Shigure smiled, "So who is the lucky guy?"
"Hatori-san."
Shigure blinked and then began laughing, "I guess I should have saw that coming. He gets new students all the time!"
Tohru nodded and smiled, "I'll be moving in tomorrow, but I'll be here on weekends."
Shigure nodded, "Oh how I will miss your cooking during the week Tohru-kun."
Tohru smiled as she finished making supper.
"It's ready!"
------------------------------------------------------
Tohru had already packed most of her things the night before. She didn't have a lot of thing but the things she did have fit nicely into two small bags. It was obvious she was excited, even if she would be leaving the house she had come to love so fondly.
In the morning Tohru said her goodbyes, Kyo had actually shown up this time. She kissed them all on the cheek and told them about the food that she had prepared for them. She wished them luck and with that was on her way.
It was a cold fall morning as Tohru walked to the Sohma house. She carried her bags and her sides, Hatori's coat hung over her arm. Singing as she walked, Tohru smiled to herself. Finally she was out on her own, she would learn what she always wanted, and she would make something of herself. The beautiful fall leaves had already begun to change colour and make there way to the ground. Tohru walked through piles of leaves that had slowly begin to gather on the ground. Fall had always been her second favourite season. The season of appetite.
After a peaceful walk Tohru arrived at the Sohma house. She was greeted at the gate by Hatori who took his coat, along with one of her bags. They talked casually as they walked. Tohru did most of the talking, and Hatori the listening.
It didn't take Tohru long to get her things moved in. The room was small but it was comfortable. More comfortable she presumed then whatever Hatori himself used for a bed. She smiled at the thought of Hatori asleep in his chair.
After she finished unpacking she left the room and went to meet Hatori in the garden.
"I like working out here best in the mornings."
"I can see why, it's so beautiful after a night of rain. The dew is still on the leaves." Tohru smiled as she sat down beside Hatori.
"Alright, let's get started."
------------------------------------------
In the days that would come before the weekend Tohru learned a lot. She hung on every word Hatori said, taking notes when she felt necessary. Smiling with all the happiness in the world, she greeted each day with enthusiasm. She offered to do the cooking and cleaning since she was staying with Hatori, at first he refused but somehow Tohru managed to convince him.
Tohru enjoyed every moment of learning. She had wanted this for so long and now she was getting that information. Hatori had a way of teaching things, he was so intelligent. At times his eyes were so cold, but sometimes when he looked at her they softened, like he saw something in her.
Hatori wasn't used to so much laughter, so much happiness. He couldn't explain how he felt seeing her smile. It was as if Kana had been reborn inside another. He learned after awhile to smile back at Tohru, to laugh at her jokes. Being with her couldn't be wrong; there was no one now to take it away from him. Now that he had passed on Hitori was mad at him, he was angry that Akito had refused him his love. Not now though, he could feel his heart soften at her every smile. She reminded him of Kana, and so much more. She was bringing back that feeling he had only had once before. It scared him, yet it felt so good.
---------------------------------------------------
"I would like to stay here for the weekend." Tohru said one morning over breakfast.
Hitori nodded as he looked through the newspaper.
"Can we…spend time together this weekend….away from work?"
Hitori stopped reading and lowered his paper to look into Tohru's blue-green eyes. He could feel that she was no longer afraid to stare into his own eyes.
"What….do you mean?" Hitori said playing dumb.
"Let's go walking. It's almost winter. We could go and but some Christmas presents for everyone. Or we could go skating!" Tohru said a twinkle of excitement in her eye.
Hitori smiled and nodded, "I would like that."
Tohru stood up and removed their dishes from the table. She walked over to the phone and dialled Shigure's number.
"I don't think I'll be home this weekend, sorry Shigure."
"Busy at work?" Shigure asked over the phone.
"Mm something like that." Tohru grinned looking to Hitori.
Tohru hung up the phone and headed toward her room.
"I'm going to get ready to go out."
Hitori nodded just before Tohru disappeared into her room. 'What am I doing? Do I want a repeat of last time….Tohru will get hurt…she's just a kid.' Hitori sighed as he folded up his paper. 'I better get ready anyway.'
-------------------------------------------------
Tohru laughed as they ran through the field chasing each other each other. She was the one that started it, at first Hitori was confused, and didn't understand why she was running away from him. After taking the time to explain what she was doing he joined in. He knew this was wrong, he knew he shouldn't being doing this; she was his student, and most of all she was a child. Somehow though it felt so right to be running with her, to laugh and smile, as if this made up for all those years he should have had with Kana.
Tohru was running and watch Hitori chase after her. Once he caught up and she went to push him away but she had tripped and pulled him down on top of her. They hadn't touched. He was holding himself up about her. She clutched her stomach as she laughed. Hitori was laughing to and trying to catch his breathe. After a few minutes without moving from the same position, they had both caught there breathe. Hitori looked at Tohru and then at his hands and either sides of her.
"Ugh…." He began starting to move away from the position he was in.
Tohru reached out and grabbed his arm. She pulled him forward and met his lips with hers. Maybe she was desperate after not getting Yuki, maybe she was lonely after losing her mother, or maybe she had fallen in love. The kind of love that made your toes numb, that gave you butterflies in the pit of your stomach, the kind of love that makes you smile uncontrollably whenever you think of them. Tohru knew, she knew with everything in her heart, she knew with her lips that were on Hatori's. Ah yes, Hatori's lips. They fit hers perfectly. She lifted her hand to touch his cheek and he moved his body so he was only kneeling on one knee. Hatori seemed to have taken control. At first Tohru had been in charge, but she had surrendered to Hitori's passion, his smooth and sweet kiss. Tohru gave a slight shiver of delight as Hitori lifted his hand to her cheek and slid his tongue into her mouth. He probed the inside of her mouth gently, exploring it fully. It was just as sweet as he imagined.
Hatori wanted so badly to hold Tohru, to draw her into him and show her all the passion he felt, but instead he was releasing it all into one kiss.
Tohru panted lightly as Hotori ended the kiss, pulling away slowly so he could see her reaction. She kept her eyes closed until he had fully pulled away, a look of delight on her face. Never had she been kissed like that, never had anyone been kissed like that she presumed. Hatori simply had to be the best kisser, well ever.
Hatori grinned at Tohru as he saw a look of approval and satisfaction on her face. He stood up and reached down to help her up. He knew he couldn't hug her, couldn't hold her but he'd make up for that.
