Yuki escorted us back to his house. and after a made up story, Tohru started saying the real reason why she was there.
' So when did you start living in the woods?' Yuki asked.
' Yuffie and I started living in the wood about a week ago.' She said with amazing smoothness.
' I thought it was strange when you said you lived nearby. This whole hill is Sohma property.'
'Please-' Tohru started I cut her off
' At Least let Tohru stay here till our grandfathers house is done. And if it's ok I'll stay in the tent. One of us should be warm for the night.' I have a scheme behind what I say. This is my effort to get on Tohur's good side ( not that she has a bad side) so that hopefully I can stay in the same house as the Sohma's!! I want to see this book up close and personal. 'I'll pay you too' ( not that I had $ to spend)
'Oh I couldn't possibly-' she got cut off by herself this time.
'Tohru!!' 'Miss. Honda!! Yuki and a yelled simultaneously.
'I'll go get some ice-' Shigure turned and looked at the kitchen witch was filled to the ceiling with garbage bags and trash. 'Where is it?' He said while scratching his head. He stopped for a minute and listened to what seemed like nothing.
'What? Do you hear something?' I asked. something felt weird in my head like I forgot something. I put the feeling to the side.
'Ya. Looks like there is going to be a landslide. That last storm made the ground soft and loose.' He said
'Wow!! how did you know that?!' Tohru asked.
'Mmm? Ah it's called the wildlife ability.'
'Stop joking around, where was it?'
'You're so mean, Yuki! ..... near the tent- I mean... nothing! Nothing at all!' He finished with a sing song voice.
10 minutes later we we're all gathered around the area that the tent was. The landslide had covered the tent completely, all except the little top peace sticking off to the side. Tohru looked horror struck, with tears in her eyes. This was familiar but through me off as well as Yuki who was taking in the new extended hillside. Shigure stood back a little way looking at the sight with no expression.
'Mom's picture is still in the tent! Mama!!'
'Miss. Honda? Miss Honda calm down, you still have a fever.' Shigure slowly made his way over to Yuki and Tohru.
'But Mama, she...... what should i do? I need to get her out quickly..... or she'll be in pain! I was on the verge of crying. How come I couldn't remember this? Why couldn't I remember anything that is going to happen. I was so sad watching the boys try to calm Tohru down.
When we finally convinced Tohru to calm down enough to walk to the house, me and Yuki set off to find an ice pack. It took us about 10 minutes to find one,it was behind a rice maker. when we went back into the guest room, which was set up for me and Tohru to sleep in, we heard Tohru talking about how 'our' mom had died in a car crash, and how she had to finish high school for her mom memory.
'That's why I can't lose to a little fever.' Then she closed her eyes and her breathing evened out.
'Is she asleep?'
'Oh, you heard?'
'It wierd. at school she's always very happy.....' Yuki stated 'As if pain and suffering never came close. She is tough.' He continued.
'She's always been the tough minded one. I might have strength, but nothin comes close to her strength.' I said. ' I'm going to get some sleep now. If you'll excuse me.'
'Yes, of course.' Shigure and Yuki both bowed and left the room, sliding the door shut quietly as not to awake Tohru. I knew that Yuki would tell Shigure about how Tohru was stronger than him. 'If I hated my life so much I could have gone to an unknown place to live in the woods.' I could hear him say it. I also knew that by morning all of Tohrus things would be right beside her in this room, thanks to Yuki and his rat friends. But something happened while I was drifting off to sleep, that weird feeling in the back of my head came back, and I heard Tohru moan and shift to a new position next to me. Then my mind faded to black.
