OMG!!! It's the final story in my "Perfect" series!!! I'm so excited about this one and I hope you are too. This one is a little short and I apologize, but trust me! Chapter four will definitely make up for it! So, enjoy the first chapter of The "Perfect" Life and please, please R&R!!!

Chapter 1

"I can't believe the banquet's only a week away already" Shigure said as they were sitting at the table, eating supper.

"Who cares?" Yuki replied.

"Big deal" Kyo added sarcastically.

"So, who's dancing this year?" Tohru asked, trying to lighten the mood (and genuinely interested).

"Yuki and Haru" Shigure answered, "It should be beautiful! Just like last time-"

Yuki interrupted with the death stare, "No one wants to hear about that"

"I wish I were able to see that" Tohru said.

"Yeah" Kyo agreed, "Seeing that dumb rat and stupid cow dance is the only reason I'd want to go back for New Year's."

"You can't tell me that you're not going home for New Year's" Shigure complained.

"Why not?" they asked together.

"Well, you both skipped last year and Yuki, you have to dance with Haru and-"

"Fine, I'll go" Yuki said.

"Wonderful" Shigure replied.

"You didn't let me finish. I'll go…if he goes" he said, gesturing to Kyo.

"Oh, you must come Kyo. We'll have a wonderful banquet this year" Shigure pleads.

"It's not like I can go to the banquet anyway" Kyo replied.

"Oh…right" Shigure hung his head.

"I still don't understand why Kyo's not allowed to go to the banquet" Tohru interjected.

"Don't worry about it" Kyo said, "I don't want to go. Besides, while they're at the banquet, I'll come back here so you don't have to spend all of New Year's alone"

"That's so sweet, Kyo" Tohru replied.

"I think I'm going to gag" Yuki mumbled.

"So, does this mean you're both going to the main house for New Year's?" Shigure fished.

"I guess" they replied in unison.

………………………………………………………………..

I really wish there was a way for Yuki and Kyo to get to know each other better, Tohru thought as she was lying in bed, Maybe Kyo would be able to go to the banquet if Yuki invited him, and her mind flashed back to her alternate reality where Yuki and Kyo actually like each other.

She got out of bed and walked across the hall to Yuki's room. She knocked on the door. Yuki answered it and was surprised to see Tohru standing there.

"Tohru?"

"Can I talk to you?" she asked.

"Of course. Come in" he replied as she walked in and he shut the door behind them.

"What's going on?" he asked.

"I have a favor to ask"

"What is it?" Yuki asked, terribly confused.

"Um…could you…invite Kyo to the banquet? I think he really wants to go and I know he's not allowed to, but I thought if the rat invited him, maybe he could" Tohru rambled.

"Tohru, I'm not really sure it works that way"

"I know it's a long-shot, but could you try? Please" she pleaded while turning on the puppy-dog look.

"I really don't think he'll accept" he said, trying to stay strong.

"Please" she continued with the puppy-dog face.

Finally, he gave in, "Fine, alright, I'll ask him"

"Yay!" Tohru exclaimed, "Thank you so much Yuki! I really appreciate it! Good-night!" and she left before he could change his mind.

Kyo heard a knock on his door. "Who is it?" he called.

"It's me" he heard Tohru's voice from the other side of the door.

"Tohru? What are you doing here?" Kyo asked when he opened the door. He gestured for her to come in.

"I just wanted to say good-night" she told him.

He could tell something was up, and assuming the worst, he pulled her into a hug, pulled her face up to look at his, and kissed her. They held their embrace for a little longer (because it still didn't seem real) before Tohru pulled herself away to go to bed.

"Good-night, Kyo" she said as she walked out the door.

"'Night"

……………………………………………………….

The next morning, Kyo got another knock on his door. Tohru pressed her ear to the door, hoping it was what she though it was.

Kyo opened his door, "Yuki?" he asked, puzzled.

"I'm here to invite you to the banquet" Yuki told him and walked away.

I told you it was short. Anyway, that part where Tohru goes to say good-night to Kyo is mainly for my enjoyment (I was bored). It has no correlation to the plot at all! I LOVE getting feedback on my stories, so PLEASE tell me what you think!!!
