Ch. 1 'The Rain'

It was raining outside, like cold memories going down. It was the end of high school. Tohru had already announced her decision to move away from the Sohma house.

Kyo and Yuki took it hard, but Shigure was expecting it, after all he knew she didn't like to put things on other people. Tohru sets the table and brought in the food.

"Lunch is ready!"

She smiled, but to the boys it was a frown. After all this would be the last lunch they had with her.

Yuki was curious of where she was going to go, but he knew not to bother her about it. It was bad enough they had to watch her go away a second time.

The boys stared down at the stew for a moment. Tohru looked at it too, she was kinda worried about them.

I mean who would cook for them after she left. They would probably go back on their take-out diet.

After lunch was done Tohru decided to take Yuki outside to look for the rainbow, since the rain had stopped before they finished lunch.

They stepped outside, for it just raining it was sure bright. The sky had cleared up fast and the sun shined threw as to give Kyo and Yuki hope on her departure.

Tohru and Yuki looked up at the sky, chins up, prancing around on their tippy toes as if it was going to help them find the rainbow. Kyo watched them from the porch. They looked like circus people, walking on a wire.

Then they found it, cheering and pointing, they both seemed to want this moment not to end. It was like a child's dream.

"Look at all the colors, hey Kyo can you see it where you are?"Tohru asked, just noticing that he had been watching them.

"Yeah, I can see it."

Tohru smiled, she was sad that she decided to move but she knew with school being over her boss would want her to put in more hours and that meant she would get home more later and not be able to fix lunch.

Plus it would choke up most of the time she used for cleaning the house. Then the weekends would be used for cleaning rather then 'family night.'

The look on the boy's faces was something she had never seen. Even though they were sad they were holding it all in, to be happy just for her, to make her last day count and be the best day it could be.

But it hurt to know tonight she would be sleeping in a new house. And to know that she would only see the guys when she went out or was going somewhere.

Still, she was going to enjoy her time at the Sohma house, just as she had ever since she moved in.

Her, Yuki and Kyo sat on the porch to watch the sunset. It was something she usually only did with one of them at a time, because she knew they would fight if they were together.

But this day there was no fights not the slightest agitation it was all overwhelmed with the sadness that her good bye would come too soon in the day.

Her things where packed in her room and Shigure was going to let her keep her bed. They would all help load and unload her things.

Since she got to the house, Shigure had bought her a dresser and a night stand, along with a lamp, T.V. , phone and radio.

The sun settled quickly and right after dinner it was time to load the small truck Shigure had rented for her.

The boys loaded it all up, putting a tarp over it jusT in case something wanted to fly out while they where driving there.

They all got in the truck, kyo stayed in the back with her stuff to make sure nothing got tossed out.

And after a quick ride they were there. A small house just four blocks away from Hana's house and eight away from theirs.

It was small, but she was the only one going to live there. The boys stayed with her all night fixing up the apartment and making sure she was OK.

But when they left she couldn't help but feel guilty. They had done so much for her and she just got up and moved away from them.

Kyo had only said five words that day, yeah I can see it, he didn't even say good bye. But then again if he did it would just make her sadder then she already was.

It was bad enough she had to say good bye to two of them, but it still worried her. And Yuki, she thought, how hard it must have been to stay with her all this time just to have her taken away?

She wiped a tear from her eyes but instead of it going away it was replaced with two more until she noticed she had been crying ever since they had left her.

The house just seemed so cold, like her tears were anytime going to freeze into ice.

She kept wishing any moment that Yuki and Kyo would break down the door, catching their breathing and tell her to go back. But they never did. so she was left to cry herself to sleep alone.
