[There was never a time where she wanted to go home as much as she did for the past two days. Usually, Tohru tried her best to look of the best of things and stay her happiest even though she felt herself feeling lonely and depressed majority of the time, even with Kanda, Allen and the rest of her new friends at the House she still felt that

[Lenalee thought about not saying a word, feeling partially responsible for the way Tohru feels, and not feeling secure enough in her own feelings.]

Tohru. Can I speak with you?

[fan_of_the_cat]

[Tohru smiled quickly at her and nodded her head]

Yes! Ehmm I hope out here would be okay for you, Lenalee-dono. W-We can go inside, if that makes you feel more comfortable!

[bootofinnocence]

I'll come to you.

[Lenalee leaves her room and heads into the hallway, going to the door to get outside.]

Fail! I thought that she was outside! sorry! :p

[fan_of_the_cat]

A-Are you sure? I could come to you, it's not problem!

It's all right~

[bootofinnocence]

[She pushes the door open.]

I'm all ready here. It's all right.

[Lenalee looks around the area before she spots the girl, and walks over.]

mmk

[Tohru puts her book to the side and rises to wave to her. Smiling as happily as she could to make it look like she was better than ever or at least back to normal.]

[bootofinnocence]

[Once she's close enough, Lenalee gives Tohru a weak smile.]

I wanted to apologize, and to thank you.

[fan_of_the_cat]

[At first, there wasn't any reason that she could think of that Lenalee would be apologize to her or thank her for anything. Nothing harmful or anything. Tilting her head to the side, she blinked a few times and tilted her head to the side]

Eh...

[fan_of_the_cat]

EH?!!!

[She was apologizing to her and thanking her for the other day, she had nearly forgotten her conversation with Lenalee that day. She had blocked it out with her own thoughts and with her own misery. It was intentionally forgotten.]

There's nothing to be sorry about or to thank me for, Lenalee-dono...[Tohru smiled warmly and chuckled lightly keeping herself from going into a panic episode]

I was just going what I thought was right. I should be sorry, as well, I was rude and I should have thought a bit more about what to say rather then just tell you stories or make you feel even worse than you did. [She bowed to her and rose with a small smile]

[bootofinnocence]

You told me what I needed to hear. Don't apologize. I should have listened. It would have saved us both heartache.

[fan_of_the_cat]

My mom...[She smiled at the memory of her mother] my mom told me once that we all have to face our heartache in the ways that will hurt us the most. She said that if we take a path that involves use falling down and getting hurt we come out to be stronger in the end.

It's true, I was sad, but I think I was being more selfish than I was being sad. [she shrugged] I'm happy for them both. I'm happy they were able to go home and be able to get away from this place. I shouldn't have wished for them to be back here where it would cause them only more trouble. So...it was best to let them go and be happy that I go to met them.

You're right too, Lenalee-dono, I won't apologize. [She chuckled] I wasn't sorry and I don't think I will be. What I will be sorry for is being jealous of you. I was jealous that you had so many wonderful friends here and I'm still here alone.

[bootofinnocence]

[That takes Lenalee by surprise.]

I'm not someone you should be jealous of. You're my friend too, Tohru.

[fan_of_the_cat]

[Tohru chuckles again and smiles] I know and thank you.

What I mean is, I was jealous that you had people here from your world and where you were from. I've been here for a long time and no one has shown up yet and I don't believe they will any time soon. That's what I got jealous about. [She turned and picked up her book, dusting off the cover]

[bootofinnocence]

That's hard. I know.

[Lenalee moves to take a seat beside her, not looking at the book Tohru was holding, but instead just watching the other girls face.]

It was nice having them here; I don't like, and never did like, being here alone. It's hard, and you feel like a huge part of your life is missing. I feel that way often; you should be proud of yourself for being strong this long.

[fan_of_the_cat]

[Tohru smiled sadly and shrugged her shoulders a bit]

I'm not that strong. [she tried her best to smile, she didn't want to think of the last thing Kyou had said to her before she had fallen of the cliffs. It was too sad, his eyes, they were really sad too. Almost sadder than her mom's death...]

Eh...[She cleared her throat a bit, getting a smile back on her face and turning to her happily smiling] So! I have an idea. When you're feeling up to it, how about you help me cook your favorite meal for dinner? It'll help you to feel better. It'll take your mind off of things for a while.

[bootofinnocence]

[She's caught off guard for a moment at the request-- apparently she's surrounding herself with people who enjoy cooking when she has no knowledge of it herself-- and it takes her a moment to give Tohru an agreeable smile.]

All right.
