The fresh scent of pine filled the room as I opened the door and sat on the porch. I breathed in and out as I stared up at the sky. The sun was trying to push its rays through the clouds, but the clouds were being difficult that day. Nothing could be that feeling. For the first time in a long time, I could just relax and enjoy my surroundings.
I pondered about what everyone else was doing today while I sat here. Yuki was at a business meeting working on a new proposal. He had taken over Momiji's fathers business. I could almost see him standing up there like he always did. He is an amazing leader and was really making headway through with his company. I then thought about Shigure and how he was probably writing about his erotic dreams for his new book. He was really to old to be writing things like this. I felt bad, since the last woman he loved denied him because she wanted to be with someone who had more money. Then my thoughts drifted to Kagura and Momiji are on the way to the house so that we could see each other. It had been so long since I had seen everyone. Then of course there was Kyo. He was heading over to start work at the dojo
"TOHRU! ARE YOU HOME?"
"Yeah! I'm over on the porch Kyo."
"OKAY."
I could hear him run upstairs and slam the door to his room.
"I should probably go check on him..."
I gave the sky one last lustful stare as I headed inside Shigure's house, which was soon to be my new home with Kyo. I looked into the kitchen to make sure the tea hadn't boiled over. It had a mind of its own lately. I made my way to the staircase and I could hear Kyo upstairs tearing open boxes and mumbling about something. I walked into the bedroom and found him looking through some of unpacked boxes.
"Ah..kyo-kun?"
"YEAH!?"
"You don't have to yell. I'm right here." I said with a smile painted across my face as I tilted my head.
"Sorry, I'm just frustrated. That stupid rat is..AUGH. and now I can't find IT."
"Did you and Yuki get in a fight again? And what are you looking for?" I said as I started to head closer to him. I stood a few feet away from him, crossed my arms, and waited for his response.
"Yeah. We did. The stupid rat was..." He started blushing. "It's nothing."
"Come on! You guys need to stop fighting. You shouldn't be like this forever. Especially, since we just moved back home."
"He...was teasing me."
"Honey, aren't you a bit old to be teased by Yuki?" I smiled as I approached a bit closer.
He came close to me and grabbed my waist and pulled me in for a hug.
"Because of us." He smiled and kissed my forehead.
"Well, he is just jealous. You know that." I closed me eyes and wished that I could live in this moment forever.
"It's not that.." He said as he kissed my forehead again. My head rested on his chest.
"Well what do you mean?"
As he was about to open his mouth, Momiji was running upstairs.
"TOHRU!" He screamed as he entered the room. "YOU ARE FINALLY HOME. WHY DIDN'T YOU VISIT SOONER!? I'M SO GLAD THAT YOU'RE HOME!" He cried as he ran over to give me a hug. Kyo reluctantly let go of me as Momiji tackled me. I laughed a bit. I missed this goofball. He had grown a few inches since I last saw him. He was almost taller than Kyo now.
"I missed you too Momiji! I promise I won't be far away from now on. I'll be here." I smiled and laughed as I remembered when we were kids.
"Kyo-kun? Tohru-san?" She said as she entered the room, unsure of where Momiji had gone. She hadn't changed a bit since the last time I saw her. She ran in and stole a hug from Kyo.
