What If...
Chapter One: Hat Boy
Kyo was listening to Tohru telling her friends the story of the mysterious hat boy. Damnit, he thought, I remember something like that, only that boy wasn't me. Damn!
A couple days later, Kyo asked tohru if she had seen a red hat lying around somewhere. (A/N: I just want to check with everyone cause I got the impression it was red. If you think otherwise just tell me.) Tohru said she hadn't but she would keep looking.
As Tohru was going through her stuff before dinner, her hand fell on that little red hat that only two days ago she had told her friends about. I guess I never really checked to see if there was a name inside the hat did I? Tohru thought to her self. She flipped the hat over finding a little zipper she had never really noticed before. She unzipped it to find a letter written in permanent marker. In fact she had only pulled back the cloth a little bit, because Shigure was complaining that he was hungry for dinner, and he didn't want to suffer through a charcoal dinner. The only letter of the name she had actually caught was a K.
"Tohru, did you see any sign of that hat?" Kyo asked at dinner.
"No, not yet Kyo," she replied. What is it with him and that hat? She wondered.
"What hat Kyo?" asked Yuki.
"My red one."
"You have only ever owned one red hat, Kyo."
"So?"
"I lost it for you, remember?"
"When was that?" Kyo asked trying to hide the fact that he thought he knew where Yuki had "lost" it.
"When you were little. You know, you could at least try and remember these things. Besides why look for it now. It's been what, eleven years, already."
Tohru tried to take advantage of the verbal fight to run into the kitchen. Except Shigure caught her. "I hoped at least someone had the brains to leave when this started," he simply stated, not that anyone else noticed.
Tohru now knew she had to figure this out before someone else walked into her room and figured it out for her. Yuki "lost" Kyo's hat for him? So did that mean that the hat in her room was Kyo's? And even if it were, why had Yuki given it to her? Had it really been Yuki? "Oof," she mumbled as she tripped over the last stair. What was it with her and stairs anyway? She had such a tendancy to trip on them.
"Miss Honda, are you all right up there?" she heard Yuki call.
"You didn't trip on the stairs, again, did you?" she heard Kyo call.
"I'm fine!!!" She yelled, avoiding Kyo's question. It was almost too embarrassing.
Room, hat, think hat, think hat, think conversation over dinner. Goodness, I'm so confused. What should I do, Mom? This is too confusing, she thought, stumbling to her room. When she reached her room grabbing the hat. Sure enough when she pulled back the zippered flap one name seemed to pierce her mind, the name on the hat. She fainted. The name on the hat had been Kyo Sohma.
A/N: I know its not that long, and you might kinda be able to tell where this is going, but R&R (no flames). I'm gonna try and take it in a different direction than it seems to be going.
