[b][color=cornflowerblue]Yuki[/color][/b] A gardening club? It was an interesting thought but still another place to dedicate his time. But Kagura had a good point that it would much closer and easier to tend to. Plus it might be a way for him to make friends with those who had similar interests such as gardening. He was surprised to hear Kagura suggest such a thing though. He didn't think Kagura would be into such a delicate and tedious task. When he tried to imagine her gardening but could only see her getting upset at something not growing and then just ripping everything out of the ground like an angry boar. He hid a small smile and decided it would be a good thing for them to try together, it would do them both some good. [color=cornflowerblue]"It would be work to orchestrate a club, I am taking five classes this term."[/color] It was a lot but Yuki knew he could handle it. [color=cornflowerblue]"But I think it's a good idea, I can talk to someone at the Student Center tomorrow and see how to go about establishing a club."[/color] He told her. They would have to pick a time and a place and make flyers but he was sure it would be a worthwhile endeavor. Though he still had to see Kagura gardening to actually believe it. He figured maybe it helped her calm down and find her center. He had to wonder what sort of things she grew. He knew Kyo paled at the sight of leeks so he had to wonder what kind of foods Kagura liked and didn't like. He was glad to hear Kagura was going to try to better herself and make steps to become a stronger person. [color=cornflowerblue]"I have faith in your ability to overcome whatever is bothering you and if I can do anything to help, please let me know."[/color] Yuki smiled a bit more now, looking to her. He reached forward and place his drink back on the coaster on the table, mostly done with it for the time being. When Kagura mentioned Tohru, his smile faltered. In his mind it was silly for Kagura to fret over her relationship with Tohru. He shook his head, [color=cornflowerblue]"Kagura, you know Tohru cares about you regardless of what happened with Kyo...you know she doesn't hold any bad feelings or any sort of grudges. I know you two haven't spent much time together because of him but I don't think you have to worry about losing her as a friend."[/color] He tried to assure Kagura. He reached over and placed a hand on her back briefly before taking it away. Even though like him, she was cursed and wouldn't transform into a boar, he wasn't used to giving or getting much physical comfort. Not to mention the abuse suffered by Akito, had made Yuki careful not to get too close to people, both emotionally and physically. The boy born in the year of the rat thought about Kagura's comment though. Maybe it would be useful to make a plan for them to go to the local movies and maybe grab some ramen afterwards. He had gotten his license, as had Tohru, and he had to assume Kagura and Momiji had done the same. Being able to drive allowed them to do plenty of activities. [color=cornflowerblue]"Why don't we try to meet for lunch tomorrow if we're all free in the afternoon? If you're nervous about your standing with Tohru, it might help to be in a group setting and then try to approach her when the ice is broken. What do you think?"[/color] -- [color=plum][b]Tohru[/b][/color] While Momiji redressed, Tohru's eyes lingered on the wall in front of her. Even though he had transformed in front of her many times before, it felt a bit different since he had his growth spurt. He was taller and more handsome than cute, he wasn't the same little kid she first met. Momiji then began to talk about the curse and whether or not there was one. If there was a curse, it had to be broken or fixed somehow. She refused to believe people like Kyo and Haru and Hiro were cursed for their entire lives. It wasn't fair at all and her heart ached, wishing she could help the Sohmas, even the ones who didn't seem to like her much. She smiled when Momiji admitted he liked being a rabbit. That wasn't much of a surprise to her and it was a cute image to think about. She had to consider their animal counterparts were a lot like friends. She knew Yuki used his rats to help move things and that if Kagura wanted, she could summon boars too. Feeling his hand on her shoulder, she spun around to look to him. Seeing Momiji so thoughtful and worried was something she didn't see very other. He always kept a smile plastered on his face but she knew he couldn't always be happy. While he was an optimist like her, she knew he had his own problems and concerns and that being happy wasn't possible every second of the day. Tohru didn't know much about the curse. It was something no one spoke openly about. She was sure the oldest ones like Hatori and Shigure knew the most about it but she didn't like to pry, even if all she wanted to do was help. It was clear that Momiji was torn about the curse, even if he couldn't really decide whether or not to be cursed. She hated seeing him so conflicted about it. He was a kind soul and she wished she could take away the pain somehow. [color=plum]"I don't think it's selfish. You've had the curse since you were born so I can understand growing accustomed to it and the joy that being close to rabbits brings."[/color] Tohru considered. [color=plum]"Still...there has to be a way for the curse to be changed. I'm sure the Sohma history may reflect past family members who have found a way to break it."[/color] She wasn't sure and had no way to personally check but if the curse had been part of the Sohma family for centuries, then she had to think one of them had found a way to break it. But to think Momiji may not want to break it, saddened her a bit but her logic was selfish. She wanted to be able to hold Yuki and Kyo and even Momiji without them transforming. [color=plum]"Your curse doesn't define you though, you're Momiji. Sure you turn into a rabbit but just think if the curse was broken for you, you could hug anyone at any time. And you might be able to date. And if you miss cute rabbits, you can buy one and cuddle it all you want."[/color] She smiled to him, reaching out and placing her own hand atop his which was on her shoulder. [color=plum]"It is up to you though, whatever you decide I'll support you!"[/color] She still wanted to try and dig into more of the curse but it wasn't her place. [color=plum]"I just want you to be happy."[/color] She said, removing her hand as she glanced over to the boxes, knowing they had to get to work before ordering any pizza.
