Chapter 32 - DATE!

Chapter 32 - DATE!
Kyo stood by the main stairwell while looking at his watch anxiously. "Damnit, why do girls take so long?" He asked quietly.

"Ah ah, patiences, Kyo-kun," Shigure scolded softly, "Good things come to those who are patient."

Kyo rolled his eyes when suddenly Mine appeared from one end of the stairwell where Tohru's room was. Subconsciously he straightened up and cleared his throat though he did not know why. "Are you ready?" She asked bouncing lightly from one foot to the other. He felt awkward just standing there with his hands limp on either side. What was he supposed to do with his hands? Put them in his pockets? No, his hands felt clammy. Why was he so nervous? It was just Tohru for cripes sake!

Yuki looked up from his book as Shigure, Ayame, and Hatori all sat up as well from the seating area.

"Yes of course, Mine-chan." Ayame smiled. "Bring the princess downstairs!"

Mine grinned and turned around. "Come on, don't be shy, Tohru-chan. It's so adorable on you!"

Slowly Tohru came toward the stairwell making everyone's jaw hit the ground. She wore a deep red dress cutting straight across her bust showing enough cleavage to leave plenty to the imagination. The length went down to the middle of her thigh and accented her body in all the right places, just the top and straps of the dress lined in a lighter red and she wore black heels on her freshly painted pink toes. There were no ribbons in her hair tonight, and only the shell neckace that Kyo had given her decorated her torso. Light make up adorned her facial features accenting her beautiful eyes that Kyo loved so much. Kyo never thought of Tohru as a stunning beauty but tonight she ran chills up his spine.

Tonight she looked absolutely seductive.

Kyo for one couldn't help but let his jaw drop slightly. He'd always seen her wearing pastels and bright colors, but a deep,dark-red mini dress? He didn't know if he'd be able to last the night.

Mine put her hands on her hips seeing Tohru begin to fiddle with her purse when no one made a comment. "Well don't just stared at her! Say something!"

Kyo's face burned as Tohru looked away embarrassed. Suddenly he was tongue tied and nothing would come out of his mouth. "Ah I..."

Shigure bumped Kyo out of the way. "Tohru-kun, you look drop dead sexy!"

"Shigure, you freakin' bastard!" Kyo scolded.

"Ha! How's that for a complement?" Shigure asked Ayame as the king nodded in approval.

Hatori looked down at Tohru as she came down the stairs noting how 'bare' she was. "Do you have a jacket?" He asked with a raised eyebrow seeing the bare skin of her small shoulders.

Mine appeared from no where and handed Tohru a black long sleved bolero that tied below her breast. "Of course she has a little something to cover her arms! Hatori-san, don't be silly!"

Hatori fingered the thin material on her shoulder. "This 'bolero'... it's see-through."

"The latest style!" Mine chuckled while slapping his hand away from her project.

Shigure nudged Hatori as the doctor snapped his hand back from Tohru as if his hand had slipped into a mouse trap. "Oh come on, 'Tori-san, don't be such a party pooper. You act like she's you're daughter." Shigure leaned close and wiggled an eyebrow. "Oh, but such a sexy daughter you have! I bet you want to keep her all to yourself, don't you?" Hatori only shook his head in dismay.

Kyo nodded at Tohru trying to play his emotions off coolly. "You look... r-really hot- I mean beautiful- no I mean...nice." He mentally slapped himself. That was the best he could come up with? Lameo! And since when did he ever say 'hot'?

"Thanks, it was all Mine-san's work." Tohru responded understanding what Kyo was trying to say. She didn't want to make him even more uncomfortable. He groaned. She was better at this 'playing cool' than he was at the moment.

"You give me too much credit, Tohru-chan!" Mine laughed while bowing down at the compliment.

Ayame inspected Tohru's outfit critically. Tohru noticed a small sense of sadness wave over him but she must have just imagined it. "Yes, it really is a splended piece, Mine-chan. If I do say so myself, Tohru here looks anything but a boring girl." He gave her a wink. "You're rather naughty tonight, aren't you?"

"Nii-san!" Yuki cried with a red face.

"Come, Yuki, give the girl some attention." Ayame laughed while pushing Yuki toward Tohru rather forcefully.

Yuki sighed and turned to Tohru apologetically. She must feel so uncomfortable with the stares and unusual outfit. He had to admit though, Tohru looked well, like a very mature Tohru at the moment.

"It's okay, Yuki-kun. Ayame-san is only being nice..." Tohru tried to console.

'In a perverted way.' He thought darkly before actually saying, "Honda-san, you look... really, really pretty."

"Watch it, rat-boy," Kyo barked.

"In fact," Yuki continued as if he hadn't heard Kyo at all. He cocked his head to the side and chuckled, "you um...look cute."

"CUTE?" Suddenly Momiji slid down the banister and jumped onto Yuki's back to give Tohru a thumbs up. "I'd say she's hot stuff, baby!"

Kyo pushed Tohru by the middle of her back, his face burning like Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer. Why did they have to tease her so much? They were putting such dirty thoughts in his mind and he couldn't have that! He was going to be alone with her for a couple hours! What were they insinuating? He was surprised Shigure didn't pounce him and shove a condom in his face. "We should go now." The sentance was more of a command than a suggestion.

"Oh okay." She said with swirly eyes.

"Have fun, kiddies!" Shigure laughed as Kyo opened the door for Tohru and glared at his relatives before slamming the door closed. Momiji and Yuki went to the window to watch as Tohru bowed apologetically for something but Kyo just tugged her toward the limo brushing off whatever it was she was saying. They rolled away in the car and Yuki sighed while crossing his arms together. 'Well there they go.' His relaxed features suddenly went into deep thought.

"What is it, Yuki?" Ayame asked.

"You did that on purpouse didn't you?" He turned to Mine, "And you too, Mine-san."

"Do what, Yuki, dear?" Mine asked innocently.

"You knew Honda-san was hurt from Toega-san's comment earlier today about her being boring and just a 'little house wife'. So you cooked up an outfit for her like that and a date like this." He turned away. "That's just like you to be sneaky about your real intentions good or bad."

Ayame sighed and nodded seriously. "Tohru does too much for us. She must really feel like all she does is take care of the house and feed us."

"The little old lady who lived in a shoe..." Momiji said out loud. "Tradgic..."

"Tohru needs to go out and feel attractive again. Staying with us all the time won't make her feel any younger. As if she already has so many children." Ayame snapped his fingers. "I know! Boys night out! That'll take your minds off of their date!"

"We weren't really thinking about it that hard..." Yuki muttered.

"Alright, break out of kegs!" Shigure laughed.

Momiji threw his hands up in the air, "If there's drinking we should call Haru over! It's no fun around here with out him."

"And Rit-chan?" Ayame asked.

"I don't know... you know how he gets when he's not sober..." Shigure moved his finger in circles near his temple. "Crazy..."

"Fine, go call Ha-kun up and we'll order in pizza! Ah, it feels just like old times." Ayame laughed while walking to grab the cordless phone.

Yuki groaned. "And you supose eating pizza three days straight is okay? I nearly died."

"Better than your charcoal rich diet." Shigure snickered. Yuki chose to ignore this fact.

Momiji skipped away, "I'll go get Ha'ri to keep an eye on Shi-chan and Aya-chan."

Shigure pouted. "We don't need 'mom' to watch us."

"Your drinking games get out of hand sometimes." The college boy reminded.

Ayame smiled deliriously, "Ah yes," he gave Shigure a heated gaze, "what wild nights we have together."

"Aya, not in front of the kids..."

Momiji plugged his ears just like a little boy and ran away screaming for Hatori to control their rabid hormones.

Yuki watched everyone go to the TV room and he turned to the door.

"Yuki dear, where are you going?" Mine asked as she lingered back.

He turned the door knob and paused. "I'm going for a walk, Mine-san."

"Don't forget a jacket. It's beginning to change seasons."

"Right, right..." Yuki went to the closet door and plucked out a random jacket out of the number of expensive ones in the dark area. It didn't seem to fit him quite right, perhaps he was growing? He looked at the sleeves with little thought. Or maybe he picked up someone else's coat.

"Something on your mind?" Mine asked.

Yuki turned around. Before Tohru, Mine was a sort of mother figure in his life. Aside from being crazy and sometimes scary with Ayame, Mine was very perspective and could tell when Yuki was worlds away from Earth. When he was younger, he would tell her what he was thinking with the promise that his brother would never know. Mine would hold fast to her promise. Tonight in particularly he didn't really feel like explaining the tumbling emotions within him. "I guess so..." Was his lame response. With that he closed the door and left Mine wondering what that was all about.

"Yuki left?"

Mine spun around at the voice to see Ayame approacing her. "Ah, yes, he said he had something on his mind and wanted to take a walk."

Ayame stared at Mine for a while as the woman turned away nervously. "You know, I thought that dress looked familiar, the one Tohru was wearing I mean." She looked at the vase of wilting flowers by the window with worried eyes as Ayame only watched her with a rather sad face. "It's that one that sits in the back on the manequin, isn't it?"

Mine was caught. She was hoping that Ayame wouldn't remember that dress but she thought wrong. Her usual cheery voice dropped, "yeah..."

"The one," Ayame tilted Mine's head up. When did he close the distance between them? "You were saving for our first date."

She could feel her breath hitch. "Ayame..."

"Mine, I'm sorry if you feel I'm not paying any mind to you. No, I think about you every day it's just," Ayame's voice gradually grew softer as Mine's heart raced, "there's too much going on right now and I don't want to make a commitment I don't know I can keep. That wouldn't be fair to you, Mine-chan."

Mine turned her face away as she leaned into Ayame's frame. "It's okay, Ayame..." She paused. "Is it Yuki that worries you?" She asked carefully.

She could feel the vibrations of his voice. "I hate to say it but yes. When that girl he loved moved and never returned, he was saddened even though he didn't show it. I know as his older brother he'd never want to share things like that with me," Ayame looked past Mine's shoulder as she bit her lip knowing that Yuki did share that bit of sadness with her, "I don't want Yuki, dispite how much he dislikes me, to feel as if he's alone. As if I don't care about him and I just move on without him. I don't want... I don't want him to feel like he'd lose another person."

"Ayame..."

Ayame's lips were set in a straight line as he spoke rather seriously. Mine loved his fun and crazy side but she knew deep down inside, even people like Ayame had demons. "On the other hand I'm selfish in trying to keep you all to my self." He touched her hair, worn in loose pigtails letting his long fingers trail away. "More than anything, I'm afraid to lose you, Mine-chan. To end up with nothing. But I don't want to make you wait for me. It's unfair..."

"Shh..." She put a finger to his lips, hushing him. Perhaps she, aside from Hatori, was one of the few people that could make Ayame quiet. "Even if you told me to leave, you know I wouldn't. I couldn't."

Ayame smiled at the woman he'd loved for years. "Soon, Mine-chan. I promise to give you all of me soon."

"And I'll be waiting."


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yuki walked down the path kicking a stone down the empty steets. They were in a more secluded part of town where there were very few neighbors but he could see their lights glowing in their windows. It was so quiet.
He made it down to a more populated area in their town and continued walking, looking in at the store windows at people. Seeing how Tohru secretly felt she was boring reminded him of Machi. Since the day he met her, he couldn't stop thinking about her. Cliche as it sounded, Yuki hoped to see her again. She spoke very little but she was the first person he met that actually saw him for him, not the prince of the Zodiac Host Club. Even when he was at the club with all the girls he talked to, he sometimes felt lonely. He wasn't really carrying on a conversation but rather just nonsense. Besides Tohru, he couldn't remember a time when he could talk freely with someone. The girl he first fell in love with never knew of his feelings. She went off to Germany to study medicine and he never heard of her since.

But now the loneliness only grew as he was known as the Host Club Prince. Put on a pedestal, praised, and worshiped by a number of girls but he didn't want any of that. He wanted to be normal. He couldn't help but suddenly think about Machi.

He kicked the rock when it hit someone. "Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't mean..."

"It's okay," the girl said, "it only hit my ankle."

Yuki's eyes widdened as he stepped closer. Honestly Yuki felt like one of those characters in Kagura's one of many chick flicks. Boy goes out wandering the city with a girl on his mind and bam! There she is in the flesh to scared the living day lights out of him. And to think if he kicked that rock any harder it would have seriously injured her, perhaps render her unable to walk. She'd go on living knowing some strange man kicked a rock at her and made her lose her leg and she'd hate him for the rest of her life!

He was running away with his imagination when he needed to stop and get back to reality. "Ah, Kuragi-san!" Yuki called seeing her about to walk away.

Machi's eyes widened at the man approaching her. It was that prince guy from the Host Club!

"I didn't know you lived this close." Yuki smiled as she stared at him blankly.

"I do."

Yuki and Machi stared at each other and looked away after a moment. He for one didn't know what to say to her but really wanted to talk to her, get to know her more. Why miss a perfect opportunity?

Machi could tell there was something he wanted to say but didn't say anything about it. She smiled slightly. It was a small apology, an excuse to get away. "I should be going now..." she paused, "I'm sorry--"

"Yuki." Yuki instantly filled in for her. "I'm Yuki Sohma."

"Yuki-san, it's nice to meet you, I should be going..."

"Wait, ah Kuragi-san, would you like to get something to drink?"

Machi stared at him. Yuki was such a nice person... and did she really have anything better to do when she got home? She would just go home to her empty apartment, alone. She looked away. "I don't know..."

Yuki's body slumped slightly but he smiled anyhow. "It's my treat, but I'm afraid you'll have to choose the cafe, if you don't mind, since I am not farmiliar to this part of town."

Machi finally turned back to Yuki with wide eyes. Yuki's heart lept for the sign of interest. She had such a cute look to her as she thought on his offer. "You want me... to choose?" She'd never really been asked to make decisions but rather just went with whatever everyone said or just didn't make the decision. This man she'd only met once before was being such a kind gentleman. A complete stranger...

She'd never say it but she wanted to know more...

"I suppose," Yuki perked up slightly at her soft voice, "it'll be okay. Just one drink though if you don't mind."

He flashed her a plesant smile. People normally say that a smile is a smile, but Machi knew this smile was completely different from the one he presented at that Host Club. The smile wasn't forced but rather natural and relaxed. It felt strange how she noticed such small things.

Yuki offered for her to lead the way as the pair began walking with her towards town. "I'm really glad I ran into you tonight."

Machi was silent for a while as she looked up at the evening sky. 'Me too...'

In a world full of people, the both of them suddenly didn't feel as lonely as they thought.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Oh God, watch out for that-- AH!" Kyo braced himself against the seat of the limo as Tohru fumbled away from him.
Unfortunately all the other drivers were out on account of 'vacation' and the only available driver was the same one that attempted to kill Kyo way back when Kyo had been chasing Tohru on Haru's bike.

Tohru sat up, "Driver-san, can you...?"

"Honey came in and she caught me red-handed
Creeping with the girl next door
Picture this we were both butt-naked
Banging on the bathroom floor."

"Why does he have to sing and drive at the same-- WHOA!" They turned a sharp corner as Tohru went flying into Kyo's lap. The driver was oblivious to everyone screaming and honking at him outside the car.

"How could I forget
That I had given her an extra key
All this time she was standing there
She never took her eyes off me... woot woot, I love this song!"

"Slow down you crazy bastard!" Kyo yelled when he was thrown forward. He regretted getting into a limo. The thing had no seat belts.

"What's that, sonny?" The driver asked turning around as they came to a stop. "We're at the restaurant, Master Sohma."

Kyo instantly opened his door and pulled Tohru with him while glaring daggers at the driver.

"Ah thank you for the... exasperating ride, Driver-san." Tohru said while trying to brush down her fuzzy hair with her hands. The driver nodded as Kyo ushered Tohru to the restaurant.

The driver saluted the couple as he turned the radio up louder:

"But she caught me on the counter
(It wasn't me)
Saw me banging on the sofa
(It wasn't me)
I even had her in the shower
(It wasn't me)
She even caught me on camera
(It wasn't me)..."

"That song was SO inappropriate." They listened as the music died away along with a screech of tires burning rubber. Kyo growled, "As soon as we get home, I'm firing that son of a..." Conveniently a large truck passed by that was honking it's horn. Tohru laughed nervously and tugged Kyo to the restaurant.

"Ah, Master Sohma!" The host greeted as Kyo and Tohru entered the fancy restaurant. Tohru was stunned at the elegance of the setting. Red carpet lined the floors and crystal lighting shimmed on lamps. A man came and took their light jackets as the Host jotted notes down in his book.

"Hello." Kyo said while Tohru continued to look around in awe.

"Yes we're expecting you! Welcome to Sakura, this way please?" The host grabbed two menus and began walking up a flight of stairs. Tohru looked around to see this was definitely an up scale restaurant. What her mother would think of her going to such a beautiful restaurant! Not to mention with a handsome escort!

She was so nervous as Kyo pulled out her chair for her to sit down on. They finally got settled as the host opened the menus and layed them down before the couple. "Enjoy you're meal at Sakura."

Tohru and Kyo stared at the menus in amazement. There were so many choices! Not to mention each one had a hefty price tag on it!

"Kyo-kun, I... I don't know what to choose." She blushed, "I'm not used to this kind of eating I'm afraid..."

Kyo grinned. "It's okay. I'm getting Chilean Sea Bass, what do you want to try?" He paused as she looked down at the menu. "And don't worry about the price tag."

"But it's so much! I can't afford it! I'm sorry!" She instantly responded. He chuckled knowing that was what she was worrting about.

"Tohru, it's okay, I promise. The Sohma family is very rich, and what kind of date would I be if I let the lady pay? It's really okay."

She blushed and Kyo knew the mistake in his sentance. He called himself her date! He began to blush as well but Tohru just burried her face back into the menu while muttering a small okay.

She continued to look. She didn't want to get something huge and messy even though her stomach was willing to eat anything at the moment. Kyo would think she was a pig! Nor did she want to ruin Mine's work of art she was wearing. Then again she wasn't up to a salad either since she was famished from skipping lunch that day. Soup? No, she might slurp and create rude table manners. A sandwich? How many times would she ever come back here? She couldn't eat a sandwich! "How about some sashimi? Or Sushi? Sukiyaki? I'm not sure..." She said nervously after a while.

Kyo glanced over the menu. "Why not all three?" He asked without looking up at her.

"Ah! That's definitely too much! I couldn't eat it all!"

Kyo browsed the menu before looking over at Tohru. "Well, I'm really hungry."

'Me too!' She thought excitedly at the thought eating anything at the moment.

"We can share, how about that?"

Tohru brightened up. "Oh that sounds good!"

The waitor came by and took their orders not a moment later. The pair sat back and looked down below where a dance floor was displayed in the center. Tohru turned to Kyo and thanked him for taking her out.

"It's been so long since I've been out like this, it feels nice!" She said.

Ky took a sip of his wine. "I'm glad then."

"In fact, I'm really happy you took me out tonight, Kyo-kun. You..." Tohru's voice quieted slightly, "you are very important to me."

Kyo paused his glass over his lips and watched as Tohru smiled into her lap. The last time she talked about going out was at the beach when she mentioned about Satsuki. He warmed slightly seeing that she had not even the slightly thought of the man at the moment. She was happy.

He was happy.

Tohru stared wistfully as people fluttered down below to some kind of ballroom dance. She stood giggling. "Kyo-kun, do you want to dance?"

"What? Now?"

"Well, it'll pass time until our food comes, don't you think? And besides," she walked around the table and pulled him up, "we never did have that dance, remember?"

Kyo stared at her sweet, pleading visage. How could he say no?

They made it down the stairway and towards the dance floor where Kyo took hold of Tohru's hand and spun her onto the dance floor before the pair began rocking slowly back and fourth in time with the music. At first they carried about a foot of space between them but by the third song Tohru settled for holding herself closer to Kyo. She blushed at such daring acts on her behalf, but silently jumped for joy when she felt Kyo lean into her as well.

"Maybe it's good we saved our first dance till later." Tohru said.

"Why?"

"We wouldn't have as much fun as we do now!" She laughed hugging him slightly to suggest they wouldn't have been able to hug before.

Kyo chuckled as well. "I guess so."

Finally the pair grew hungry and returned to their table to chat about mundane things in life when their food arrived at the table.

"Enjoy." The waitress said.

They said their thanks for the meal and the pair began eating.

Tohru's eyes instantly lit up at tasting Kyo's cooked fish. "Oh this is delicious!"

He found himself smiling with her.

She beamed while rocking side to side with her chopsticks clutched in one hand, "This really is the best food I've ever tasted!"

Kyo watched Tohru eat, surprised how happy she got after trying a little of everything. He held back his laughter as he watched her slowly eat faster while trying to be polite at the same time. He'd never seen Tohru so hungry before. Oh well, it wasn't like she was the fattest thing on two legs. And if she was hungry she should be eating! Even though she was obviously more hungry than he was, she went along praising the good company and good food while trying to eat daintly. That was just the way she was, thankfully for every single thing including the food currenly passing through her mouth.

"We can go out more like this... if you want." He said as they conversed over their food.

"Oh no, this is too much really. But going anywhere with you, Kyo-kun, well it's just so much better!"

He had his chopsticks in his mouth as she said that and Kyo felt warm all over. To this day she still knew what to say, the one thing that would make his day better than it already was. But here he was when he was the one who was supose to be making her feel better.

But was that the only reason for this date? Just to make her feel better? Didn't he want this too? Just the two of them out and about without all the Sohmas lurking around every corner felt like a private moment with Tohru. It felt almost posessive in thinking he had her all to himself, like a spoiled child. He wanted to do something extra special for her. Something they both enjoyed.

A private moment...

Kyo grinned knowing exactly what he would do.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After dinner and dessert (which Kyo ordered one of everything on the menu for Tohru to taste), the pair walked outside into the slightly cooler air. It was a sign of the fall season approaching. They walked to the curb when Kyo held Tohru back.
"Why don't we walk home?"

"Oh sure!" She smiled while patting her stomach lightly. "Probably need to walk off all that eating! Weight gain is increasing, you know?"

He laughed and led her down the sidewalk. "I doubt you need to worry about gaining wait, Tohru."

They continued to chat while walking at a leisurely pace until they came upon the street where the Sohma house was. Tohru was about to turn the corner when Kyo held her back again.

"Kyo-kun?"

"Follow me, Tohru. Oh and close your eyes." Tohru watched Kyo smirk, making her heart race faster. How she would melt at such a gaze. "I want to surprise you."

She nodded and slowly closed her eyes. Kyo waved a hand in front of her face to make sure she had those peepers closed before taking hold of her hand and walking down a path.

"K-Kyo-kun," Tohru stuttered feeling a branch brush against her open-toed shoes. She wasn't afraid but when she had her eyes closed, things just touching her without knowing what it was kind of freaked her out.

"It's okay, we're almost there." After about two minutes, Tohru began tripping all over the path. There were no branches or debris around the walking area and if there was, Kyo cleared the path a little so she wouldn't trip. Tohru tripped again.

"What the hells the matter with you?"

"Tehehe!"

Kyo turned around to see Tohru laughing with her eyes shut tightly. "What is it?"

"It's nothing, Kyo-kun, it's just funny how I'm stumbling around wearing these high heels. Ahaha, gomen gomen."

Kyo stopped walking causing Tohru to run into his back. She was about to call out his name again when suddenly she felt strong arms lift her off the ground bridal-style and begin walking again.

"Ah my dress!" Tohru laughed and quickly scooped up the fabric closer to her bottom. "It's a bit too short for this kind of thing."

"No one's around." Kyo said while blushing. The thought of seeing her undergarnments were a bit too much for his mind. If she was already wearing such an arousing dress, he didn't know what lay beneath that dress would do to him.

"I could be flashing the trees!"

"The trees don't care!" He argued while she giggled some more.

"You don't have to carry me, it's okay."

"Can't have you breaking an ankle or something. Besides it's faster this way."

"Sorry, Kyo-kun."

"Don't be." He poked her playfully on the side of her leg. "You'll just have to carry me back home, okay?"

They both laughed at the mental image of Tohru trying to carry him up the slope and onto the main road.

Finally Tohru felt Kyo come to a stop and put her down gently. They stood in silence for a moment. All she could hear were the crickets soft hum and the sound of the wind brushing the grass around her ankles. It was just so quiet. She groaped for Kyo's hand.

"Scared?"

"Ah, a little!" She confessed.

Kyo put his hand out for her to grab. He gently held her hand as well before leaning over to catch a glimpse of her serene face. Her eyes were fluttering with excitement and her long hair was whisked with the wind tickling his forearms. Even her smell, like the day he met her waffed through his senses, sugar and fruit, it was so fitting. She was just so beautiful inside and out. He was tempted to lean in and kiss her but thought better on it.

He breathed out. "Open your eyes."

Tohru let her eyes flutter open and she took in the sight. She remained speechless for what seemed like eons.

"Tohru?"
