When she got back to her previous location, it might become apparent that the itch on her neck was because something was lodged there... and Kotone herself? Nowhere to be seen. [/quote]

Something definitely felt weird with Tohru after she returned that money to Shinobu. Nothing mental. Honestly she was feeling a bit chipper that she didn't decide to keep all that cash for herself. This was more on a physical note, an odd and rather annoying situation plaguing the back of her neck, like something small scraping away at her sensitive skin. Tohru had to admit she was a bit ticklish in some areas, her neck being one, but this wasn't the fuzzy, enjoyable sort of ticklish feeling like roughhousing with a close friend or.....dammit why did that thought even emerge in her head? This was more on the side of a bothersome and nerve-racking ticklish, akin to an insect of some kind landing on your back and crawling up to your head.

Was it a mantis? Dear God, Amaterasu, and Buddha if it was, then Tohru would be ripping away her shirt and flailing around like she was loony as hell, possibly screaming to the top of her lungs several curses and other foul utterances. Just the thought of one of those ugly, green, beady-eyed bastards latching onto her neck made the teen shiver with a surmounting horror. Those bugs were nothing to Tohru but servants of evil, they even looked wicked as hell, but not the wicked Tohru enjoyed. Her hand swiftly made for the back of her neck in a yelp, and she felt something thick thump against her palm. Oh f*ck! It was one! She swatted frantically at her neck now, her shouts possibly echoing all about the campus as she wrenched and hopped about for a few seconds, enough to make her look like an idiot though in front of all of Lilium. The irritating object in question soon fell from behind her neck. It was....the money.

"Huh?" Tohru looked dumbfounded at the wad of cash, the very same she was sure had been placed in Shinobu's hand. How the hell did it end up here? "Ugh! G*ddammit!" She groaned loudly, clutching the yen in a tightly balled fist as she turned to the entrance of the school, not a soul around. Yakuza Queen was long gone now, but Tohru insisted still on giving back the 100,000. [i]I'm not keeping it, if that's what you think, Yakuza Queen. Even if I have to shove this money in your bra, you're getting it back dammit![/i]

She kept the money in her hand until then, as she made her way back to where her and Mira-chan were enjoying lunch, noticing not one, but two peculiar sights. The first was the Gaijin-girl, the blonde chick from America climbing up in a tree...to take a nap. Normally that's what the ground under the tree was for, but....that must be an American thing or whatever. Tohru merely glanced up at the girl with a [i]What the f*ck are you doing?[/i] face before she carried on. The next sight, and this had to be the most damning for Tohru.....Haruka-san. [i]Ugh! The one time I get to hang with Mira-chan and low and behold Prince Charming with tits shows up![/i] But what be this? Another girl was with Haruka, an old friend perhaps? By the way Tohru interpreted the bits and pieces of their conversation, it was more like old flames. [i]Well well....the rumors sure ain't lying. Looks like G.I. Jane here was the player they said she was.[/i] This indeed brought a Cheshire grin to Tohru, more on the inside than out.

Finally, Tohru took her seat again next to Mira, a brief sigh of irritation escaping her as she fell with her back against the tree. "She gave it back, but I ain't hanging onto it long. I don't need this much anyways just for food. It's too much..."
