Chapter 1

'Akito-san...You're alive…alive…' those words kept appearing in his mind. 'why did that girl have to say that? Why must she plague my mind as well?' he berated himself over and over again.

He turned over and faced the garden, hoping to think of something else, but the words came back. 'Alive…am I truly alive?…wasting every day like this…'he thought 'that witch! She had to plant this in my mind and have me disturbed! The ugly thing! I'll punish her! She'll live miserably after I'm through and wish she never knew them! I'll…'

The train of thought ended as a shrill sound tickled his ears. He waited for Hatori to pick up the phone as he usually does but the ringing continued. "Hatori!" then he remembered that Hatori had followed that girl out with Shigure and Yuki.

He growled with annoyance and after a while the ringing stopped. Akito smirked and closed his eyes. and opened them again in irritation when the shrilling started again. This continued on and on, the phone kept ringing time after time. 'That witch is going to pay for this!' he fumed as he grabbed the phone.

"hello?" a voice said.

"yes?" he hissed through his teeth.

"may I speak to Sohma Akito-san?"

"what do you want?"

"to speak to Sohma Akito-san"

"yes, I am Sohma Akito, what do you want!"

"oh, Sohma Akito-san, nice to meet you…or rather, talk to you."

'what is with this person?! Get it over and done with already!'

"hello? Sohma Akito-san?"

"yes?!"

"so how are you?"

"none of your business."

"oookay, you don't sound too happy. Did I call at an inconvenient time?"

"yes."

"I am soo sorry, maybe I'll call tomorrow?"

"don't call anymore."

"I can't do that, well anyway, I'll call again 'kay? Bye."

The line was cut; Akito snarled and crashed the receiver down.

'what the heck?!'

"I am gonna thrash you! You damned rat!" Sohma Kyo claimed aggressively.

"We'll see, stupid cat." Sohma Yuki replied coolly.

"Kyo-kun…Yuki-kun…"Honda Tohru wavered between the two.

"Ha-ha. Haa-san, how nice of you to send me home," Sohma Shigure ranted.

"I didn't decide to go to your home because of you." Sohma Hatori cut in.

"Haa-san is too cold."

"…"

The five got to the house and settled to do their own things: Kyo and Yuki fighting with Yuki sending Kyo flying though the door, Hatori and Shigure sitting down sipping tea that Tohru made.

Then the postman came. "Mail!" he shouted. Tohru came stumbling down the stairs because she tripped over the third step (again) and signed the paper and waved Mr. Tatemaki good-bye.

"here's one for me, Kyo-kun, 3 for Yuki-kun and one for Tohru-kun." Shigure read out. "One for me?!" Tohru exclaimed. And took the letter, with one glance at the sender's name her eyes widen in surprise and twinkled pleasantly, before she flew up the stairs and shut her door.

"Tohru-kun?" Shigure peeped up the stairs.

"Is there something wrong with Honda-san? I heard her door shut." Yuki appeared.

"she got a letter."

"and?"

"ran to her room."

"just like that?" Kyo said through a swollen cheek.

"just like that."

"huh?"

"well, I better get going then." Hatori stood up.

"okay, bye Haa-san."

"bye."


Tohru was singing with happiness as she made dinner. She bustled around like a lamb skipping from one place to another in ecstasy.

"what's with her?" Kyo asked.

"she sure is happy today." Yuki stated, and went to answer the door when the doorbell rang.

"yo!"

"Good evening."

At the entrance stood Uotani Arisa and Hanajima Saki, Tohru's best friends.

"hello." Yuki was surprised, both girls didn't usually come to their house unless they were invited.

"is Tohru in?" Arisa asked.

"she's in the kitchen, would you like to dine with us?"

"okay. Hanajima?"

"fine."

"did Honda-san invite you?" Yuki asked as he led them to the dinning table.

"no, we came here to tell her something…and to eat." Arisa said.

'huh?'

"dinner's ready!" sang Tohru.

"Tohru!" Arisa exclaimed.

"Good evening Tohru-kun." Saki said.

"Uo-chan! Hana-chan! Good evening."

"did you get her letter?" Arisa asked excitedly.

……………………………………………………………………………………………….

"why are they here?" Kyo asked.

"I don't know idiot cat, only that Honda-san didn't invite them and they're here to tell her something." Yuki replied."they're talking about a letter, could it be the one Honda-san got this afternoon?"

"how would I know?"

"oh ya, why would you know anything, stupid cat."

……………………………………………………………………………………………….

"Kyo-kun, Yuki-kun, Shigure-san! Time to eat dinner!" Tohru sang.

'shucks! Curse that stupid cat; I missed out Honda-san's conversation with Hanajima-san and Uotani-san.'

'damn rat! I didn't get to know what Tohru was so happy about.'
