Chapter 2 - Meeting the roommates

Hi-hi! second chappie!! Yayness!
I hope yer likin’ the fic so far. (I start to lapse into slang when left to my own devices- at least I write grammatically in my fic...) Mwee hee hee... Alrighty, here we go!
----------------------------------
“Hi! I’m Kemuri Tsuki! Nice ta meechya!!”
“N-namae. Namae Rekishi. How do you do?”
Tohru regarded her new roommates with her usual bubbly smile. “And I’m Tohru Honda! Pleased to meet you both.”
“Hey! Hey! Here’s your bed, Tohru!!” said Kemuri in an equally bubbly (and quite hyper) voice. She swung around to gesture, her short, springy black hair barely losing shape. “Here, lemme take your bags-”
“Oh-oh no, I couldn’t impose!! I’ll unpack.” said Tohru. Kemuri shrugged. Namae looked worried.
“Sh-shouldn’t we help?” she asked, pulling her stringy brown hair out of her eyes in a nervous way. “Y-you helped me, Tsuki-san...”
“You’re so timid, Nam-chan!” Kemuri laughed.
“It’s alright. I don’t have much,” said Tohru, already half done with her second suitcase. Kemuri peered over her shoulder.
“Who’s that?” she asked, pointing to one of Tohru’s photos.
“My mother. She...passed on.”
“Oh...” Kemuri’s smile slipped. Namae shot her a stern look.
“Oh, it’s alright. My friends helped me through. I try never to feel down. So far, it’s worked.”
“Oh, you poor thing! All alone.”
“Oh, but, I have Uo-chan and Hana-chan... I hope they can visit. They’ve done so much for me. Hana-chan’s family took me in when my tent was buried in that landslide--”
“Wha?! Land--? Huh?”
“Oh, it’s much too long a story. But they really have helped a lot, without asking for anything....”
“Well, then,” said Kemuri, frowning determinedly and clenching a fist, “We’ll be your Hana and Uo.” Tohru smiled through new tears welling up, as Kemuri started to chatter about fish and flowers. Perhaps, she thought, college won’t be so bad after all...

>_< Uwahh, yes, I know, that was waaaay too short!! Don’t spear me!!! (heh-heh, a bit of Ice Age humor.) Umm, yeah, it’s just how it turned out. It’ll prolly get longer later, su! (mweeheehee I’m talkin’ like Misha-san in Pita-Ten!!)
...O.o;...
Keh, just comment, please.
(P.S.-Oh, just so ya know, Kemuri is not, I repeat, not based on Tomo-chan from Azumanga Daioh! I had no idea Azumanga Daioh existed when I first wrote her! Really! Just in case you were wondering...)
