Chapter One: The First Day of Summer.
Finally, the last day of the school year had ended. Tohru, Kyo, and Momiji, stepped outside of the school building, taking in the summer breeze.
"We should all hang out sometime over the summer, Tohru!" Momiji yelled in spirit, while reaching out to slide his hand into Tohru's.
"Yes!" Tohru responded, showing the same enthusiasm. "That would be fun."
They both smiled at each other, Kyo curling his lip in annoyance. Facing away from the two, leaving them to converse and giggle, he folded his arms, somewhat impatiently over his chest.
"If that damn Rat doesn't hurry up, I'm leaving!" he sneered.
Both Tohru and Momiji stopped, and glanced at Kyo. Opening her mouth to give him a consoling work, Tohru was abruptly interrupted by the familiar voice of Yuki Sohma behind them.
"You shouldn't talk. It just proves what an idiot you are. You stupid Cat." Yuki rolled his eyes, and then approached Tohru. "Are you ready Honda-San?" he questioned with a smile.
"Yes." She responded, returning his smile, Momiji following suit.
As the three turned to take the semi-long walk home, Kyo stayed behind in anger, glaring at Yuki . "Why don't you turn around and say that to my face you damn Rat!" he shouted, running to catch up.
The walk home was quite loud, what with Kyo constantly shouting at Yuki. Sliding the paper door open, the four stepped in.
"I've got to get going now." Momiji sighed waving lightly. He smiled while exiting the house.
Glancing downward, Yuki slipped off his shoes, alongside of Tohru and Kyo's. Developing a slightly confused look, Yuki studied the long black boots leaning up against the wall. "I wonder who's here?" he pondered under his breath, while entering the kitchen.
By the time he had arrived, Tohru had already met their guest, and uncaring, Kyo had gone up to his room. He took a good look at their visitor. Short black hair, spiked in all different directions in the back. The underside of her hair and bangs was a snow white, some random black strands caught in her bangs. Both of her wrists were covered in a variety of different bracelets.
"Haru?" Yuki questioned, just above a whisper.
"Haru? Haru's here?" the woman, who resembled the ox, turned, facing Yuki. "Where is he?"
"Oh, forgive me…" Yuki spoke politely.
"I see you've met Gene." Shigure chimed in, entering the kitchen.

Poof
As the smoke cleared, the young girl, around the age of 20 or so, stood up from her former position on the forest floor. She picked up her clothes, pulling her Tabi socks on first. She wrapped herself in the juban, the under slip. She then pulled on the Kimono, sliding her arms through the folds, and crossing each side across her chest accordingly, and tied the chord, then moved the knot so it was in the back.
She pulled the excess material up about her waist so it was ankle length. She tied one of her belts so it would stay in place. Then proceeded to expertly wrap and tie the rest of the belts that made up her Obi. She slid her Geta on, and pulled her long ebony hair from the collar of her Kimono, and let it fall about her waist. She picked up her purse and stalked away, loudly crashing through the bushes.
Yuki, Tohru, and Kyo, walked down the street, Kyo attracting many a passing glance. For the simple reason, that he was yelling. Loud. Tohru kept glancing back and forth between Yuki and Kyo, gasping when Kyo stalked off angrily.
"Stupid Cat…" Yuki muttered to himself. He took Tohru by the hand, and smiled with a slight blush on his face. Tohru smiled at him happily. He leaned in to whisper in her ear. She blushed brightly, but smiled once more and nodded her head. As they walked, Yuki gently squeezed Tohru's hand.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Around an hour later, Kyo asked Tohru to follow him up to the roof. Confused, she nodded, and followed him as he walked around to the back of the house. He climbed up the ladder and once he was at the top, motioned for her to follow. She grasped the rungs, and began to climb. When she had reached the roof, he held out a hand to help her up. He led her to the top of the roof and sat down. She sat also, and waited. They sat in silence, for several minutes. Just as Tohru was about to speak, Kyo turned to her and kissed her full on the lips. She gasped and her face turned bright red. "K-Kyo!" she gasped. "Kyo! What are you doing?" she asked with incredulity.
"Don't talk." Kyo whispered, pressing his lips to hers once more.
**************************************
"Hatori!" yelled the angry voice. "Hatori!" she kicked in the front door with such force, it flew from its hinges and crashed onto the floor. Black hair waving majestically behind her, she slammed open doors, scanning the rooms, searching for one Hatori Sohma. She reached the bathroom, and paused before barging in. Her eyes widened in appreciation. Hatori was bending over, and was wearing a black and pink maid dress, with black fishnets held up by a garter belt.
"Oh. It's you." He stampered. "I, I'll just get dressed now."
"Don't bother…" She said with a wide grin on her face, "you look lovely in a maid's dress. From Ayame's store I presume?"
"Y-Yes." Stuttered poor cornered Hatori. "I angered Akito, and so for a month, I am reduced to menial chores, and must wear this dress, as my punishment."
"I see. And what did you do, to incur his displeasure?" she asked haughtily.
"I would rather not say…" he started, but was struck silent by a glare, worthy of Akito. "I was trying to sneak out to meet my friend Mayu, when he caught me. I was beat for a half an hour before being made to go to buy this. It is very demeaning."
She looked at him head to toe, and decided on her next move. "I want to see Akito." She demanded. "Take me to him. Now."
"Y-Yes." He said, before leading her to Akito's room.
Once there, he knocked on the door, and flinched when an angry voice yelled. "What the hell do you want? I said let me alone!"
"You have a visitor." He said.
"Who is it?" Akito asked, now curious.
'Sexy. This man… his voice is so sexy it makes my heart race, and my blood pound.' She thought.
She stepped into the room, slowly. The Akito stared, "Kiera…Kiera…"
"Yes, Akito. I'm here now, with you." Kiera said lovingly. She leaned closer, closer, till she could see every individual color in his rapidly brightening eyes. So close, that her lips were inches from his…
"Tohru." Kyo moaned, as she tried to break free.
**********************************
"TOHRU!" gasped Yuki, as he emerged from the ladder leading to the roof. "What on earth are you doing?"
"Yuki!" she cried. "I- I- I'm so sorry! It's all m-my fault! I shouldn't have-"
"Don't be sorry Tohru." Said Kyo, glaring at Yuki. "You have a right to be with anyone you want to be with."
"B-But I am…" she started. "I…"
"Wait, what do you mean you are…you and the rat, your not…?" he looked at her pleading, hoping.
"She is." Said Yuki, angrily.
Kyo looked at Tohru. "He asked me earlier, when you ran off, I'm sorry Kyo…"
She was interrupted by Kyo, jumping off of the roof. He landed on his feet, his knees bending slightly to help catch the weight. He ran into the woods, heading toward the main house.
He would see Akito. Surely when he explained, he would send Yuki away. Reaching the front door, or where the front door used to be, he peered inside. 'Only one person could have done this much damage in one kick…' He thought as he surveyed the damage on the door to find only one foot print.
Kyo ran through the halls and hearing voices in Akito's room, he threw open the door. "Akito! I want you to send Yuki-"
He stopped abruptly; astonished at the sight of Akito in the arms of the one person other than Yuki that he hated the most. Akito's head snapped up and his eyes were on Kyo. Glaring fiercely.
"Leave. Kiera and I have some much needed catching up to do." He ordered sharply.
Kiera laughed as she stood, eying Kyo, with distaste. "Kyo darling, may I see you in the hall?"
"Um…" said Kyo confused.
"Wonderful. Akito dear, I will be back shortly. Please excuse us." She pushed Kyo into the hall and softly shut the door before turning on her heel to face him. She smiled sweetly, giving Kyo a false sense of security. She then, with the smile still on her face, slapped Kyo's face so hard, that he fell to the ground with a pained gasp. He clutched his cheek with his hand and looked up at her angrily.
"What the hell was that for?" he yelled.
"If I ever see you enter another person's room without permission or knocking first, I will beat you so hard into the ground, you won't be able to move. It is very rude." She then left Kyo sitting on the ground, still holding his face, and walked back into the room, slamming the door shut behind her.
