Chapter 1
"Talking"
'thinking'

~Flashback~

Tohru looked up at her mother. She was told to pack some things and then they would be leaving, but she didn't know where. "Mommy, where are we going?"

"We're going to visit my friend in America for a little while." Kyoko got down to be eye level with her daughter and smiled. "Ya know...She had a daughter your age. I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun with her."
Tohru smiled brightly and nodded. "Do you know her name?" "Yes I do. It's Amber."
"What a pretty name. "Tohru then began to look sad and she looked down at her feet. "what if she doesn't like me?" Kyoko then lifted Tohru's head up and spoke her most famous advice. "Just be yourself and you'll be fine." And Tohru was smiling again. "Now let's hurry up or we'll miss the plane" "Ok."

When their plane landed, Kyoko never let go of her daughters hand since it was so chaotic in the airport. After getting their bags, they went to where people would pick up who they were meeting and looked around to see if they could find her mother's friend.
Tohru had no idea what this person looked like but she saw everyone holding signs with names, even if she didn't understand them, she looked for both her family name and/or her mother's name.

They both searched and searched as well as they could…they couldn't really go anywhere since it was so crowded. Then Tohru saw a woman and a younger girl run up the stairs and the woman seemed to look worried. The woman then held up a sign. It was faraway so she couldn't read it fully but she did look carefully at each letter and said them aloud. "H-O-N-D-A… Honda! Mom over there! Come on!" The young girl tried pulling her mom along and then she felt her hand slip away from her mothers. She looked back and didn't see her mom but she did hear her name. "Mommy, where are you?" She was scared by now. "Tohru, stay where you are" She heard her mother say. She didn't really say anything but just stood there like she was told. Then a security guard came next to her.
"Did you get separated from you Mom and Dad?" Tohru replied with a nod and then said "But she told me to stay where I was."
"Well, why don't we get you out of this crowd and then I'll bring you mother to you. Does that sound ok?" Tohru nodded again and took the Man's hand and he led her to where the people with the signs were and soon after the security guard found her mother and brought her to her daughter.

Kyoko Ran up to her daughter and hugged her and told her not to scare her like that again. The two then thanked the security guard and waked over to the people that held the "Honda" sign.

Tohru's point of view.

"Kyoko! Long time no see." A lady with short Reddish hair called out to my mom and then hugged her. 'She knows Japanese?' I thought "Likewise, Kate. And this must be Amber." Mom got down to eye level with a young girl, about my age, with red hair like her mom's but lighter. "Hello. My name is Kyoko Honda. I'm sure your Mom has told you about me." The girl nodded and said "Yep. Mommy told me everything about you and she even taught me Japanese….. Um…." She looked past my mom toward me. Thinking that she's like to know who I was, I walked up to her. I was still a little scared so I stayed quiet.
Mom just laughed saying that it was alright and then started talking with her friend.
Amber broke the silence. "Hi, I'm Amber.-"and she held out her hand. "What's your name?"
I shook her hand and smiled. "I'm Tohru."
"That's a pretty name." Amber smiled back. "Now for her nickname." I gave Kate a confused look. "What do you mean?"
Then she explained that in her family, they would give their foreign friends English nicknames and her nickname for mom was Nova for her dazzling and original personality and then laughed along with mom.
"Hmm….Oh! I know. I'll call you Luna for your shining smile and your glowing personality."
"Why say that? We just met." She giggled and then said "I have an eye for things like that."
She opened her arms for a hug "friends?" I took her up on her offer and hugged her. "Friends." I said reassuringly.

"End Flashback"

~Third Person~

'And we were inseparable since then.' Tohru looked up into the sunny summer sky with a basket full of clean and folded laundry. 'That is until we had to come back to Japan.' She began to walk inside to but the laundry away and then start lunch 'We would write to each other all the time. Up till Mom's death. Then we lost contact' As Tohru was preparing lunch she looked up and out the window. 'I wonder what she's doing now.'

~~~~~~Setting change~~~~~~

"So turn right and…. A path through the woods? Well that's just like her always wanting to be close with nature."
The girl smiled.
'I wonder what these Sohma's are like. I guess I'll find out soon.'

~~~~~~Setting change back to the Shigure's house~~~~~~

"Kyo, let's go. I know you don't want to leave these two alone for the short while bu-"
"SHORT WHILE? SHIGURE IT'S A SIX MONTH STUPID TRIP TO STUDY ABROAD! AND DID ANYBODY BOTHER TO ASK ME IF I WANTED TO GO? NOO! INSTEAD I'M-"
Kyo was cut off by a kick to the stomach. "Shut up you stupid cat. You're giving me a headache. And the only reason you're being forced to go is because you decided to skip when the rest of us went."
"YOU DAMN RAT! I swear to god if you try anything I'll-""Um… Kyo…." Tohru interrupted quietly. To be honest, she was a little scared. Normally Kyo wouldn't yell like this. He had been in a bad mood for a week. Ever since he was told that he had to leave with Shigure for six months, he had been sulking up on the roof and only coming down to eat. Tohru didn't really understand why he was so angry. He wouldn't be the only one going. Kisa and Hiro were going too since they were really young when the rest of the zodiac members went.
"What!" Kyo took one look at Tohru and his eyes widened. "Tohru….what…how…" Tohru was holding her hand while it bled. "I was startled by the yelling that I dropped a glass and cut myself." Tohru, for some reason, looked guilty and as though she was trying to fight back the tears of pain. "Come on." Yuki came by Tohru's side and was leading her upstairs. "Let's get this cleaned up."

After Tohru's hand was all bandaged up, everyone began saying their good byes.
"Be safe and remember to take care of yourselves properly." Tohru said smiling at her friends as they were about to leave. "You too. We'll see you in six months." Shigure waved and turned towards Kyo and Yuki and Tohru turned and were heading towards the living room. "Tohru…" Kyo began. "I'm sorry about what happened to your hand." Tohru looked at him surprisingly and then smile. "Don't worry about…I was just clumsy is all. Well bye." She waved to her fiends again and joined Yuki in the living room.
Shigure opened the door to leave only to find a teenage girl ready to knock. Shigure gave her a friendly smile. "Why hello there."
"Um… Is this the Sohma Residence?" "Yes it is. And who are you if I might ask?"
The girl bowed. "I'm sorry. I'm-"
Tohru and Yuki heard Shigure talking to someone from the living room, so they went to go see who it was.
"Shigure who's ther-" Tohru froze and her eyes went wide. "No way…" she whispered but loud enough for everyone to hear.

A bit short, I know. Anyway, sorry Kyo X Tohru fans but yes he is going to leave for a short while. He has to go in order for somethings in the story to happen.
also, who do u think is at the door? Kind of an easy guess huh? please R&R and give me any tips or advice if you have any.
