It was late at night. Tohru had never worked this late before. She got a call at the last minute to go into work. There was an emergency. She forgot to tell them where she was going.
I hope they aren't mad or worried about me. Tohru said as she walked.
It was pretty dark. It was hard to see where she was going. Suddenly, she tripped. "Ah!" She fell onto the ground. "I wasn't paying enough attention to where I was going. She tried to stand up but she suddenly felt a pain in her ankle. "Ouch!" She fell down again. Oh no! Don't tell me I twisted it! She stood up again but a little more slowly and coutious. "I'll be okay. It's just a twisted ankle. I can still get everything done with a twisted ankle.[/i] She tried to walk again. "Owww! It's okay! It doesn't hurt that bad!" She kept on walking. "I can't feel anything really!" She lied to herself.

I hope Miss Honda is alright, Yuki thought worriedly to himself. He walked with a quick pace towards where Tohru worked; he hoped she was still there, so he could quit worrying. He was unable to walk her home for he had a very important student council meeting which he had to attend, but when he got home, he saw that she wasn't home yet. He prayed as he walked through the darkness that she hadn't got lost or hurt. He squinted his eyes, hoping that in the distance he'd see her smiling face, walking towards him, unharmed, perfectly fine. After several minutes, he could see a limping figure approaching him. "Miss Honda, is that you?" Yuki called out into the night.

Tohru put on her best smile as she saw Yuki, despite the fact that she was limping. She'd continue on towards him as the trooper she was. It's not that bad. I don't want Yuki to worry about me. I'll be alright .. just a little twist.
A hand raised to him in a casual greeting, smile faultering slightly as she stepped forward again, but soon back up and happy to see him. "I'm sorry I'm late. I got called into work. They had an emergency and I had to go back. I-I'm sorry if I worried you guys."

"You don't have to apologize, Miss Honda. I am glad that you are alright," Yuki paused, then took another look at her ankle. "Or are you? Did you hurt yourself?"
It wouldn't be a surprise to me if she did, Yuki thought to himself guiltily. Tohru was a bit of a klutz. He then put his left arm underneath her left arm, as if to support her to walk, but he didn't get too close in fear of transforming. "We should just go to the main house and pay a visit to Hatori. It's a shorter walk there than it is to Shigure's." Yuki suggested.

Tohru smiled lightly as he moved to support her, suggesting that they should go to the other house.
"No, no. I'm fine, really. I need to get back for dinner. Besides, I don't want to bother Hatori so suddenly."
Of course, that had been a mistake. She moved to step out normally on that hurt ankle, all the while offering Yuki that assuring smile that she was okay. Of course, she soon realized this, and nearly fell over (.. again) trying to pull her other foot forward before her ankle collapsed under her as she felt that it would. Once steady again, she looked to Yuki with that same now unsteady smile .. and started limping again.

"Are you sure? I'm sure Shigure and Kyo will be able to fend for themselves. How you feel is more important than making sure they get their dinner," Yuki assured her. He felt bad pushing her to make the choice to go to Hatori's, but he really felt it'd be better for her. He tightened the grip he had around her slightly, in hope of making it easier for her to walk. He continued walking slowly, hoping Tohru would make the decision to go to Hatori's.

"Well I don't really want to be a burden on Hitori, suddenly coming in like this. And I can get around alright. I'll just have to be careful. I'll be just fine Yuki. Don't worry about it!" She'd continue on, using the injured foot lightly. She wasn't only trying to convince him that she didn't need it. She was trying to convince herself..

"Alright..." Yuki said, still unsure. He didn't want to force her into going to Hatori, if she didn't feel it was necessary. He continued on in the darkness, slowly taking small steps. After what seemed like hours, they were just beginning to enter the woods surrounding Shigure's house. He continued on, thinking, I wish Miss Honda would realize it's okay to think about herself at times; it really would have been best for her to go to Hatori's. Although he wanted to get to Shigure's quickly so she could rest, he moved slowly, not wanting to cause Tohru more pain.

Hatori had recently just come to Shigure's house, in need to get away desperately from the Sohma Estate, even though he wouldn't publicly admit it. Smoke furling up into the air in creative swirls rose from the lighted cigarette in his mouth. He was leaning against a post, sitting on the porch, staring out at the sky, admiring the distant sparkles that littered the sky like snow on the ground of a winter's day.

Eventually the two, walking in the darkness, had reached the outskirts of Shigure's home. Yuki, supporting Tohru, walked slowly up the steps, outstretching his one hand to open the door as his other was used to support Tohru. Just as he was about to open it, he noticed a figure sitting in the darkness of the porch, just barely illuminated by the cigar that was being held in their hand. Yuki released his grip on the doorknob, now beginning to walk closer to the figure, as to get a better look as to who it was. He was surprised and happy when he finally recognized this person-Hatori. "Oh, Hatori," he began, "I'm glad to see you over here at such a time; it's actually rather convenient. You see Miss Honda here has injured her ankle. If it's no trouble, I'd like you to have a look at it."

Hatori looked at Yuki, then pushed himself up to a standing position. He put the cigarette in his mouth. "She better get up into bed first. That's where she's going to have to stay after I finish treating her ankle." He blew a puff of curley grey smoke from his mouth.

To bed? She couldn't possibly go to bed and rest there now. She had to get dinner done. She had homework she had to finish .. well, she could do that in bed, but still-!
Another look at Hatori, though, and she know that she had no real choice in the matter. No matter how bad she felt about it, Yuki, Shigure, and Kyo would have to fend for themselves tonight.

Hatori opened the door then looked at Tohru. "Come now. Upstairs." He took the arm Yuki wasn't holding on to, to help support Tohru. "The longer you wait around like this, the worse it will get."

Yuki continued with Tohru and Hatori up the stairs, slowly climbing the steps, trying to make sure Tohru didn't feel any more pain than she was already feeling. Hmm...I haven't noticed that stupid cat or Shigure around yet...that's good. They usually cause so much commotion. It'll be better for Honda-san that they aren't here, sh'ell be able to rest in peace, he thought to himself. They had reached her room, so with his free hand he pushed open the door and began leading Tohru to her bed.

Hatori looked at them. "I'll be right back, my bag is downstairs." And with that, he exited the room, and headed down stairs for his bag.
