Hello there!
I have been very...unsure, if I should have posted this story or not, for this is a my second fanfic, and I'm afraid that the people who have added me as a author, to their story alerts, or what you called it, would be dissapointed with this story, and was expecting something better. But now I have decided to post it either way...
Like the summary says, This is a No curse AU, about Highschool. This first chapter, may be a little..different. But I really hope that you will like it, and enjoy it. Please review, if it is something that you like, or that you don't like, feedback is always appreciated. I hope that someone will continue reading this story, even if the first chapter is a little bit of, for I have great plans for this story in the future:)
Enjoy! (It's an order)
Tohru Honda is a 17 year old girl attending her second year of high school. She lives with her mom in a little house not far from her school. She is a kind and innocent soul, and has nothing to be unhappy about in her life, and even if she had, she would probably still be cheerful, that's Tohru Honda for you.
Right in this moment, Tohru is sitting in class, chewing on her pencil when she should be taking notes. Why? Because she is nervous. Why? Because right now, Yuki Sohma, the prince of Gaara Highschool, is sitting on the bench next to her. His very presence gives Tohru's stomach butterflies.
No one knows much about Yuki Sohma, except that he has very good grades, he comes from a wealthy family, he is beautiful and is a perfect gentleman in every way. Tohru's little crush on the prince had started when she had dropped her book's and he had picked them up for her, and given her a kindly smile, and then only asked her name, and then left, without another word. That was half a year ago, and they hadn't spoken since then, but Tohru had still fallen for the Sohma boy.
Tohru's daydreaming where interrupted by someone poking her head.
"Tohru!" Uo said for the thousand time.
"Oh, has the class ended?" Tohru said, as she realized that it was only her, and her two best friends, Uo and Hana, left in the classroom.
"Yeah! and that was five minutes ago, you spaced out again Tohru! " Uo said, a little annoyed.
"Sorry about that" She answered as she got up from her seat and started to walk towards the school cafeteria with the two other girls.
"I noticed that your waves have been very… distant lately Tohru, is something the matter? Do you need me to… take care… of anyone for you?" Her friend Hana said, in a way that anyone besides Tohru and Uo would find creepy.
"Yeah, what is it with you lately Tohru? are you thinking about that prince again?" Uo said casually. Herself and Hana were probably the only ones at school that wasn't head over heels for the prince.
Tohru stopped in her tracks, and looked down at the floor in shame. It wasn't like her to like some guy whiteout really knowing him, and she was ashamed that she busy thinking about Yuki that it disturbed her studies and distracted her during the classes.
"Yeah…" The ditzy girl said quietly.
"Seriously Tohru, you don't even know this guy, you should at least get to know him first, you know, he might be a total dick for all we know" Uo said, not wanting to crush her best friend's dream, but also not wanting her to be disappointed if the prince didn't like her back. Tohru's face lit up.
"You're right!" She said as she throw her fist in the air. Her two best friends looked at her confused.
"…About him being a dick?" Uo asked.
"No no, I'm sure Sohma-kun isn't like that! But you're right about getting to know him first, I will be his friend first!" Tohru said, but before Uo or Hana could say something, Tohru was running down the hallway.
"I gotta go! see you later!" Tohru shouted to her friends as she looked for Yuki. How could she not have thought about this before? Of course she should be his friend first! How can she love him if she doesn't know him? But this way, she will get the chance to truly get to know him, and he gets the chance to truly get to know her. Plus, maybe he isn't like she pictured? But like her mom always says, give people the benefit of the doubt!
Meanwhile, two corridors away, Yuki Sohma was walking with his best friend and relative, Hatsuharu Sohma. They had just escaped a bunch of giggling girl's that claimed that they "loved" the prince. Yuki hated it. How could they love him if they didn't know him? The worst part is, that no one ever even tries to get to know the real him. Everyone claims that they like him, and yet he have no friends beside his relatives. The whole thing made Yuki feel confused and kinda depressed.
"Here comes another one" Haru muttered under his breath to Yuki. Yuki looked up and saw a girl running towards them, he recognized her from his class. She had long brown hair and big blue kind eyes, she was very cute, but probably just like the rest of the girls that liked him. Yuki straightened his back and prepared himself for another love confession.
"Hey Sohma-kun, Hatsuharu-san" She said and made a little bow.
"Hello miss…Honda" Yuki had to think a little before remembering her name, but when he said it, Tohru's face lit up. Yuki knows her name!
"Well Sohma-kun, you see, I just wanted to tell you that I—" Tohru started.
"Let me save you the trouble, you just wanted to say that you love me, right? And that you would like to go on a date?" Yuki started, tired of all these false love confessions. But just when he was going to continue, he saw that the girl had a very confused look on her face. He blushed, it seems like that wasn't what she wanted to tell him. Tohru started to giggle.
"No Sohma-kun, I wanted to say that I would like to be your friend" Tohru said, causing Yuki to blush even more. Usually it was the girls that blushed when they talked to him, not the other way around. But no one had ever told him before that they would like to be his friend. Not a girl or a boy.
"So-o, you don't love me then?" The prince stammered. Tohru giggled some more.
"How could I love you if I don't know you?" She said, and suddenly Yuki wanted to get to know this girl. This girl that asked him out of the blue if she could be his friend.
"But I want to get to know you, So, would you like to be my friend, Sohma-kun?" Tohru continued and reached out her hand for him to shake.
Yuki took her hand and shook it.
"It would be my pleasure" He said, and he meant. For once, he was glad that he didn't have to make a rejection.
—
It's been a week since Tohru and Yuki became friends, they always greeted each other in the hallway, and often small talked between classes. Some girl's was jealous over how much time she spent with the prince, but Tohru had realized how stupid it had been of her to just fall in love in Yuki like that, whiteout even knowing it, and was glad that that she decided to be friends first. She didn't love him, but he was a very good friend. And only fate could decide if it was going to be them one day, but Tohru Honda felt no need to rush it. She could now focus during the lessons, and her friends was very relived when she told them that she didn't see Yuki as anything more than a friend.
Yuki enjoyed his new found friendship with Tohru. She made him smile and laugh, and made him feel accepted and wanted. The prince felt happy whenever she was around, and always longed to talk with her, to see her smile. Of all his friends, he appreciated her the most, and he hoped that maybe one day, they could be more than friends.
This morning, Tohru had overslept, for her mother, Kyoko, had decided to let her sleep and not woken her up before work, and Tohru had stayed up all night and studied, so she woke up only 10 minutes before her first class. She took a quick shower and brushed her hair. She skipped breakfast and ran to school.
In the classroom, Yuki, Uo and Hana was wondering where Tohru was, when the class started.
"Hey class, It will be a new student starting here today, so be nice" Their Teacher Mayu announced.
In to the classroom came a tall boy, with messy orange hair and red eyes. Instead of the school uniform that everyone else was wearing, he wore a black shirt, which had a few buttons undone, and dark blue jeans. He looked bored, like this was the last place he wanted to be. And it was.
Some of the girls in the classroom started to whisper and look at him, and some of the boys gave him a jealous glare. Because, lets be honest, this new student was hot, and not to mention, sexy.
"This is Kyo Sohma and he-" But Mayu was interrupted by someone slamming the door open, and rushing in came Tohru Honda, looking like she just ran a marathon. She breathed heavily while she muttered some excuses.
"Stop apologizing and take your seat miss Honda, I will see you at detention after school tomorrow." The teacher said, and Tohru began walking in shame towards her desk. But she had only taken one step towards her seat, when she was stopped by the new student, that she hadn't noticed until now. He grabbed her shoulder, and whispered in her ear from behind.
"Your skirt is stuck into your panties" He whispered and let go of her. Tohru blushed and quickly fixed her skirt. She had been in such a rush that she hadn't noticed. She was so embarrassed! Had everyone she met on her way to school and seen her butt? And the new student had seen it too. She wanted to disappear. Although, she was thankful that this boy with the orange hair, that she had never seen before, had told her so that she hadn't embarrassed herself in front of all her classmates. It wouldn't be a very fun school semester for her if everyone had seen her butt and her white lace panties.
Tohru turned around to the unfamiliar boy with the strange orange hair.
"Thanks… I guess, and I'm sorry that you had to see that" She said apologetically, and so quiet that only he could hear. The boy with the orange hair smirked.
"Don't be, you have a very cute butt" He said, teasingly. Causing Tohru's blush to grow even redder. She muttered something under her breath and took her seat.
" *cough* *cough*, like I was saying, this is the new student Kyo Sohma, he will be your classmate, starting today" Mayu said, and then motioned for Kyo to introduce himself. He did not longer look bored, but rather… amused. He took a step forward and looked at Tohru the whole time as he talked.
"Yo, I'm Kyo Sohma… I just moved here with my mast—, guardian" Kyo decided that it would sound weird if he told them that he just moved here with his master. He didn't want people to mistake him for a slave.
"I like martial arts, and playing the guitar, and I don't like school" Kyo said.
"Well, Mr. Sohma, you will just have to learn to like school, and you can take the seat next to Kakeru Manabe, Manabe raise your hand" Mayu said, and a kid with black hair raised his hands.
"Come here Kyon-kyon" The kid said playfully. Kyo gave him a dead glare and took his seat.
"Does anyone have any questions for mr. Sohma?" The teacher asked, and immediately a few hands flew up in the air.
"Are you related to Prince Yuki Sohma?" A girl asked Kyo.
"Who?" Kyo asked confused. Prince? He didn't remember anything about being royal.
"No we are not related miss Hinami, I have never seen him before" Yuki answered. Everyone's hands dropped. Apparently, so were all the questions about Yuki.
"In that case we will begin class, and I will see you in detention after school tomorrow, Kyo Sohma" Mayu said.
"What! Why?" Kyo snapped.
"For not wearing the school uniform" Mayu said. Kyo was going to protest some more, but then remembered that the girl who had her skirt tucked into her panties would be there too. Kyo didn't know why, but it made him happy for some reason. He usually didn't pay much attention to girls, or anyone. But he felt drawn to this girl for some reason, and it wasn't only because she had a cute butt. She amused him. And Kyo wasn't easily amused.
