Chapter 1: A Strange meeting.

One month have passed since the 'incident' happened, the life in the Shigure's household have finally gotten back to normal. It as if nothing strange had ever happened. Well, if you don't count the Somas turning into normal when being hugged by the opposite gender, everything is pretty normal.

One Sunday morning, at about 9:00 in the morning, we can hear noises that tress make when they fall down deep in the woods. The person who's making that noise is none other than Kyo of course. It almost became a regular basic that he goes into the wood every Sunday to practice his martial arts skills.

'Darn it.' Kyo thought to himself as he jumped up and kicked down a 7-feet tall tree. 'No matter how much I train, I can never beat that stupid mouse. Why?' After that he went on breaking down all the trees nearby.

Flashback

It was yesterday at dinner. Yuki and Kyo is starting a fight once again. Kyo was getting into the position to fight, while Yuki just stood there, waiting. Kyo was the first one to attack, he tried to punch Yuki in the face with his left fist. Yuki dodge it with ease.

Kyo tried again in an attempt to trip Yuki. Yuki jumped up, then land a powerful kick into Kyo's right face sending him cashing hard against the wall.

End Flashback

After 1 hour of non-stop chopping trees, Kyo decided to stop his training for the day. 'That should be enough for today.' He thought, and he turns and looks at all the trees he chopped down. A sweat drop appeared on his head. 'I have to control myself more. If I do this daily, there won't be a forest left.' Then he turns towards the direction of Shigure's house.

After he had taken a shower, he noticed that Tohru and Yuki were missing. 'They're probably out to that 'secret base' place again. What's so cool about that place anyway?' He thought, and then pulls out a carton of milk from the refrigerator. He brought it up to his favorite place to be, the roof.

As he opens the carton to drink it, he closed his eyes and relaxed himself. The small summer breeze flew pass him as he beginning to feel sleepy again. Before he could even take a nap, the bell rang.

'I guess I should answer that.' He thought, and stood up. Since he's on the roof, and forget that he lied dangerously near the end of it, he started to lose his balance. Luckily for the person, who was standing just about 1 foot away that Kyo didn't fall on her. But as for Kyo, he fall flat on his face, this doesn't happen much for he is a cat after all.

"Darn it." Kyo said to himself. Turning to see who is at the door, his eyes was caught in a trance with a pair of deep purple eyes. Time seem to froze as their eyes locked.

As he looks deeper into those beautiful eyes, he saw that it have no end. The person eyes are so deep, as if it was hiding something. Something this person's trying to block away forever. His thoughts were interrupted as the person head turn and their eyes lost contact.

He shook his head, and look to see who it was. His skin shivers a little as he started to recognize her. Hanajima Saki, the scary psychic friend of Tohru was standing right in front of him. She was wearing the same outfit she wore when she and Uotani came to the house for the first time. Something was in her hand.

She was holding out a light-purple handkerchief to him, without saying anything. Kyo was taken by surprise, wondering why she's giving that to him. As he about to speak, he was cut off by her. "Your forehead," She started to speak, in a soft voice that almost as a whisper. "is bleeding."

Kyo put a hand on his forehead and feel the warm red liquid that's pouring out. Unlucky for him, he had hit his head on a sharp rock on the ground when he fell. As his blood keeps pouring down, everything became blurry. His body felt weak and he can't keep his eyes open. The last thing he saw before his pass-out was a flash of purple.

About 30 minutes later -------

'Oww, my head.' Kyo thought as he slowly regaining his strength. Opening his eyes, he saw once again those beautiful purple eyes. Hana noticed that Kyo had awake, so she stood up from her chair, which is about 2 feet from his bed. "So you've awake." She said, as she walks towards him.

Kyo found that he still have enough strength to at least sit up, so he did. He noticed that his head had been carefully bandaged, but there are still little blood leaking out from it.

"What am I doing here?" He asked rubbing his head a little. "It seems you hit your head into a sharp rock when you felt from the roof. You were losing a lot of blood and passed out." She started to tell him what happened in a calm and unreadable voice. "No one was home at the moment, and if I leave you there you might die. So I showed myself in, and carry you to your room so you can rest." She finished.

As Kyo was listening to her, he was silently crushing himself for being so weak. 'So I've skunked to this, save by a girl, this strange one no less. If only I was stronger.' Kyo thought bitterly.

"I was here to look for Tohru-chan. But it would seem that she is not here. I will take my leave now. I apologized for the trouble I cause." She said to him as she was standing up and ready to leave.

"Wait." Kyo said and pulled her hands. And as their hands locked, the electricity power of her ran through him. He shivered at that. Shook his head, then noticed that they were holding hands, he quickly pull away. "Sorry." His apology was small spoken, but Hana heard it anyhow.

"I just want to said, I'm…I…" Kyo spoke, trying to said the word. Saying 'thank you' is not that easy to him, it's like when he tries to said 'sorry' to someone. "You're welcome." Hana cut him off, seeing that he wasn't able to said the word, she made it easier to him.

"How did you know…" Kyo start again, but then the pain in his head came back. He held his head as he tries to endure the pain. "You should rest now. I will bring you some water before I leave." Hana-chan said as she gently pushed him down to his bed. "Also, please tell Tohru-chan that I have the strawberry seed that she asked for. I will leave it here." She said and put down a pack of strawberry seeds on his desk. "Good afternoon." She said and left.

As the door closed, Kyo relaxed for a bit. Lucky that didn't hug him when she carries him to his room. Wait a minute, how can a girl like her carry a guy like him upstairs? And how does she know which room is his? And why does he feel uneasy around her? Feeling like she knows more than she willing to share.

All these question racing through his head, as he breath starting to regain its normal pace. The he noticed that her purple handkerchief was right next to him. "I'll return this to her later." He thought, as he close his eyes, and starts to fall into a deep sleep.
