"I read it in my diary." She shruged. "I'm very strange..." My little flower thinks she's strange? What is the world coming to? (a dead end...)

"Now why would you think that?" Yuki asked with a soft voice and confused look on his face.

"Well my mom died and I'm living with a bunch of men I barely know.. or atleast... I didn't know that well at the time that I moved in here... I only knew Yuki... I think... Is that right?" She asked tilting her head to the side. Oh she's too cute when she does little things like that. Must resist... must resist...

none of us really knew what to say to her. We all wanted to tell her what had happened but we didn't want to do anything to that might jepordise her recovery. I could see it on their faces; even Tohru. She wanted everyone to tell her what she couldn't remember.

"Lets make something to eat" she said with a smile. "mister Shigure will you help me in the kitchen?" she said getting up.

"m-me?" I asked pointing to myself. "uh..sure..." I followed her to the kitchen. "what do you want to make?" I asked her as I looked through the fridge.

"I have no idea..." she laughed "I was hoping you could tell me what to make and help me make it" she sweat dropped.

"um sure..." I smiled back "but no one really likes what I make" I put a hand to the back of my head and rub my neck. "maybe we should just order out again and maybe make some cookies while we're in here?" I suggest.

"Okay" she gave a cheery smile. I went to the phone and ordered something for lunch since it was more around that time. I came back into the kitchen and got out the things for cookies. We mixed the ingredients and it goes with out saying that flour was everywhere. When the dough became too hard for Tohru to stir she asked for help. "Mister Shigure...I ... can't stir this anymore..." she groaned as she continued to try.

"Let me help..." I told her and stood behind her wrapping my fingers around around her hands that were still connected to the spoon. I stired the dough with her and she smiled.

"That makes it alot easier mister Shigure." She giggled and smiled up at me. I... I couldn't help myself... as I smiled back her instinct kicked in and I leaned down and kissed her gently on the lips.

i what do you think you're doing you idiot/i I asked myself... but... she's kissing back? This can't be right, its Tohru we're talking about... but I guess... its not the same Tohru either... I sighed and broke the kiss and looked at her sadly. "I'm sorry..." I looked away from her not wanting to see the look on her face.

"S-S-Shigure?? W-W-Why did you--" She hid her face nervously and my eyes widened recognizing that tremble in her voice.

"T-Tohru??" I asked looking at her.

"H-How did I get in here??" She asked looking around "The last thing I remember is...I told you... I was going to take a bath.. and... " Her face turned red again "I look up and I'm ...kissing you..." she whispered almost breathlessly.

"You... fell in the bath tub.. and didn't remember anything" I tried to explain to her but I stopped let out sigh before hugging her tightly. She gripped my yukata tightly and nuzzled into the crook of my neck and shoulder.

"I love you Shigure..." she whispered.

"You..." I pulled away and looked at her. Her face was bright red again..or still maybe... either way she was blushing.

"I...I love you" She nodded to herself, I guess. I couldn't help but blink at her with confusion written all over my face.

"You love me? " I scratched my head. If she said again I had to be dreaming, there's not no way that my little flower was in love me; it was impossible.

Yet she nodded again. "I have for.. a long time..." her face was red and she looked at the floor kicking her foot nervously. "I'm sorry Shigure I shouldn't have said anything." Her eyes had tears as she started to walk away. I grabbed her arm before she get too far and brought her back to me before kissing her again on the lips. She seemed to get a bit weak... but who wouldn't? I mean this is me we're talking about.

"I love you too, Tohru" I whispered softly.

"You do?" She asked smiling up at me.

I gave a slight chuckle "For a long time.." My face turned from a softened look to serious. "Tohru..." she looked up at me "How are we doing this?" I asked refering me holding her.

"U-um..." Came her nervous feed back.

"Kyo!" I called to my younger cousin and of course Yuki followed. I stepped away from Tohru to avoid questioning from them.

"What?" Kyo quickly answered as he and his lover came through the door.

"Hug Tohru for me would you please?"

"WHAT !?!? WHY!??!" He asked rather loudly.

"Because there's something that I want to find out." I said shortly. Kyo blinked at me for a second before walking up to Tohru and hugging her. Tohru still had a light blush on her face as she hugged him back.

"W-Why didn't you change?" Tohru asked and Yuki raised an eyebrow.

"Hmmmm..." I said in thought and went to a phone to call Hatori.

normal pov when shigure's not there

"So Shigure told me I fell and I didn't remember anything...?" Tohru told them and both boys' eyes widened.

"You... remember now?" Kyo asked excitedly and Tohru nodded happily.

"What was I like? How long couldn't I remember?"

"Um.. about a day...or so..." Kyo scratched his head and looked at Yuki who nodded.

"Everyone was so worried about you..." Yuki said softly and hugged her. "It's good to have you back." He smiled and she smiled back.
