Ch.1
Ever since the 7th grade, Tohru Honda has been deeply and secretly in love with Yuki Sohma. Eyeing him from afar, and not ever talking to him. She's not an obsessed girl who only thinks about him and nothing else. Not like the other girls at her school. He was just the kind of guy who was perfect at everything. Way out of Tohru's league.
But now that she was living in the Sohma estate, things were different. They were friends (at least she thought so). They talked a lot of the time. She even met most of the Sohma family. And she learned a dark secret. More of a curse the way they looked at it. She thought it was a beautiful thing, changing into the animals of the Zodiac. She had always admired the Zodiac herself. She never really had a favorite though. Maybe its because she couldn't really cope with a certain one. But she has no control over that.
Tohru stared out the window into the colorless snow. Watching it drift and sway in the wind, landing atop the cherry blossom's empty limbs. One by one. The sound of crunching cereal brought her attention back to the real world. Shigure Sohma, the dog in the Zodiac, was sitting across the table eating, as she had expected, cereal. He was simultaneously reading the daily paper.
She hadn't realized how fast the time had gone by. Now her rice bowl was cold and uneatable. She stood to wash her dish. She noticed a glimpse of movement in the corner of her eye. It was Yuki. Her heart immediately stopped once she laid her eyes on him. She didn't want it to seem noticeable, so she ducked into the kitchen.
As she scrubbed the left over residue off her bowl, she heard the conversation between Yuki and Shigure begin. She could barely hear over the running water. She couldn't turn it off in case of their suspicion of her listening. So all she did was turn it down. She leaned over a bit and could make out the words just fine.
"…can't tell her" she heard Shigure say. She was curious and wanted to know why not tell whom?
"But it's about time to show her who Akito really is," was Yuki's response. Who was Akito? A billion questions were running through her mind.
"She isn't ready yet. Meeting Akito could get her hurt maybe even kill her."
"I know that"
"Than why try to enforce it?"
By now, Tohru was practically in the other room. She was just around the corner, risking her getting caught.
It got quiet. This scared her. She leaned in an inch closer, but stubbed her toe against her own heel. She fell right in front of Yuki's feet. Her heart sank and she quickly felt the blood rush to her cheeks, making her blush. She could see both confusion and disappointment in both of their faces.
