Oh! Please correct any grammar, spelling, and punctuation mistakes I may make in the story by commenting please!!!

SUMMARY: Tohru's mom is alive, Kyo isn't cursed and they are best friends! Sounds like a fairy tale ending, but if this is 'Happily ever after…' I'd hate to see what became of all the characters with tragic endings!

****************************************************************************************************

Once upon a time, a brilliant knight rode upon his mighty white stag. Majestically, he fought through dragons, swordsmen and even a mighty king. He ascended the stairs in a graceful manner. He rounded the corner to find the chamber that held captive the woman he ever so longed for. He gazed upon her beauty, her brilliant brown hair surrounded her hair like a crown. Soon, he remembered his objective. He headed to the bed that held the woman he loved in a sleeping trance and, not wasting a minute, held her in his arms. Orange hair falling upon his ashen face as he passionately kissed the one he loved.

Tohru sat lazily, staring out the window in literature class as the teacher rambled on. She didn't mean to space out like this, it was just something she did unconsciously. Her thoughts were usually about fairy tales and sometimes, in her mind she would write her own. She was so warped up in her thoughts, she didn't even notice as the teacher introduced the new student, and the class unanimously voted Tohru to show him around.

"Tohru," Mayu addressed the young subtle girl, adjorning her prominent thoughts.

"OH! Yes, Mayuko-sensei?" Tohru said, startled at the sudden awakening to see her prince, standing there in front of the class.

"Would you kindly pay attention?" she asked impatiently. Torhu stood and bowed.

"I apologise," She said in a melancholy tone.

"As a consequence for your actions, I would like you to show our new student, Kyo Sohma-san around." Mayu said it like a punishment, but Tohru believed she would like this assignment.

"Oh, yes, of course!" Tohru said enthusiastically, as Kyo was seated, and began showing him what the class was doing.

******************************************************************************************************************

"Tohru, your one crazy daydreamer apparently. How did you not notice that the teacher was talking? She yelled your name about 50 times." Uo was eating her rice as she accused the poor girl of not paying enough attention to the teacher, but, inevitably, Tohru's mind was elsewhere. Though she was physically eating lunch in her high school, Tohru was mentally in a time of dragons, in a dungeon with a trapped princess and her brave knight, but her friends brought her out of her tragedy.

"...and he held her in his arms, put her on his horse and they rode off into the sunset and lived happily ever after!" Tohru said dramatically as Uo rolled her eyes. Tohru looked around the table at Kyo, who's head was bent over his food, which had been touched by nothing more than the occasional tip of his hair. She wondered if he knew he was her knight in shining armor. Her prince, come to save the day.

"Were you even listening to a word I said?"

"Uhhh." But all Tohru could think of was a handsome prince making his way through a wretched siege to save his lover.

"I'm taking that as a 'no'," Uo said, sighing. Before any more insulting could come of Uo's mouth, Hana spoke to Kyo. Who still hadn't spoken or touched his food, though lunch was nearly over.

"So, Kyo-san, I heard that you came to our precious school from Kyoto? Are these rumors true?" Saki Hanajima asked in her strange, gentle voice that had the ability to scare the living daylights out of a professional wrestler. Kyo looked up from his lunch for the first time that day, orange hair flopping in his face.

"Well, I used to live here, but Shishou decided it would be better to train in the mountains in Kyoto, so that I could become stronger, you know, the mountains are extremely dense, so you have to be in good shape to work up there." Kyo explained.

"REALLY?!?" Tohru asked jumping up. "'Shishou' as in a martial arts master?" She was immersed in curiosity.

"Yeah. He trains me." Kyo said, trying not to be too open with a person he had just met, though she was the kind of person he wanted to be able to open up to. The bell rang for 3rd hour before any more questions could be asked. Tohru got up and smiled at Kyo, who simply followed her out of the room to their next class.

"So, what's this class?" Kyo asked, as they walked down the hall, Tohru leading her new classmate past countless doors and lockers. Tohru sighed at his question.

"Physics."

"Tooooooooooooohru!!!" Cried Kyoko, flinging her arms around her giggling daughter.

"Cut it out, Mom!" Tohru said jokingly, trying to make her way to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

"What happened at school today?" Kyoko's bright eyes glistened as she looked at her blushing daughter. Tohru sighed contentedly, thinking back on the day.

"I met my knight!"
