TORADORA! SEASON 2

Let's Be ONE

'Word'= Emphasis

A Week Later .

Ryūji & Taiga were now packing their stuff into bags & luggages to move in their new home.
Yasuko laid off a couple hours from work to stay home with them until they left.

Yasuko watched Ryūji in a trance, as she wasn't aware of her surroundings & stared with joy. Yasuko was so proud of her son in that moment, she smiled as she watched him. When he was done packing he walked towards her, she said "You're 'All' Grown Up!" joyfully. They all went outside to wait on Taiga's parents to arrive.

A few minutes later, Taiga's parents pulled up in the same spooky black car. Aya came out once again & walked up to Yasuko, Taiga & Ryūji then asked "Are You Ready To Go?"

Ryūji: Yea, Um... Aya....

Aya looked at him "??"

Ryūji: .... This Is My Mom, Yasuko...

Aya: Ohh! She faintly shouted as she grabbed her hand for a handshake. Hi I'm Taiga's Mom, Aya. She said with ā normal inside voice.

Yasuko: It's Nice To Finally Meet You. I've Heard So Much. She said joyfully.

Aya: It's A Pleasure she said gladly releasing her hand.

Ryūji & Taiga said their goodbyes to Yasuko as they walked & got into the car. Yasuko waved & said her goodbyes back. The car eventually drove off & Ryūji had his eyes out watching nature with his eyes more concentrated in the skies as he zoomed by the trees leaving them looking like a blur & the birds chirp as they flew high . He got lost in space as he stared into it, avoiding time with ease.

Eventually they got to the house & Aya, along with Jun'ichi, drove off without staying a minute, only shouting from the window "Have A Great Time!!" She yelled, battling with the sound of the loud car engine. Both Taiga & Ryūji stood there with an awkward look on their faces watching as the car sped off to around the corner. They then looked at each other, deeply within each others eyes, Taiga came to the realization that they will be sharing an entire house between themselves.

Starting to feel shy & blush as she mostly is pretty recently, being around him, the same feelings of butterflies enter her stomach as she continued to think about it. They could 'be' & act more comfortable around each other without the chance of someone seeing Taiga in an embarrassingly vulnerable state. Taiga's cheeks became red quickly as she still stared at Ryūji, realizing that she was blushing too hard she looked at him with her curious face, wanting to see what Ryūji does next. But Ryūji's checks also became red right after, he blushed back then began to smile. Taiga wasn't as shocked as she thought she would be, yet she only had a relief.

She confirmed her feelings to him, confidently smiling as she knows that this is where the story really begins for the future of 'The Tiger And The Dragon'.

Moments Later .

They were already unpacking their things, the house was semi furnished with the only required necessities.

Ryūji & Taiga sat on the floor, then Ryūji said "I'm Gonna Have To Get A Job To Pay For All This..."

Taiga: Wha- My Mom Will...

Ryūji: No Taiga. This Is Our Home.... We're Gonna Take Some Responsibilities Upon Ourselves.

Taiga: ........ Staring at him with a little confusion but happily agreeing with him.

Ryūji: I've Already Talked To Your Mom About This, She Says It's Fine... Now They Can Focus On Our Wedding Even More Now.

Taiga then realized that she also needed to help out & manifested her responsibilities.
Taiga: Okay Then... I'll Get The Dinner Ready Then... she said seriously as she got up & walked pass Ryūji.

Ryūji stared up at her a little confused as she walked by.

Taiga, in the kitchen by herself, stared in the fridge thinking about what to cook for dinner. She stood there for a hot minute trying to guess what could go with what & still taste good. She eventually made up her mind as she groaned aggressively "Ughh! Why Is This So Hard!?"

As she took out the onions to chop them she raised her hand with the knife in the air, ready to swing wildly. Suddenly, a tall comforting figure towering over her rested behind her, being warm & loving, he held her hand with the knife before she did any damage & said "Hey, Try Cuttin It Like This... It's Way More Effective This Way..." him gently holding & controlling her hand to slice that onion into smaller onion pieces effectively.

Taiga: I Forgot How Hard This Was.

Ryūji: Well With A Little More Practice I think You'll Get The Hang Of It.

Taiga smiled a little too excitedly but without Ryūji noticing as he's still behind her as she leans on him for a little support.

The day carried on with them making dinner a little too early in the evening so they checked the newspapers to get Ryūji a job.
