Chapter 1
Yuki is sitting at home when the phone rings. Yuki goes to answer it after a few minutes Yuki returns to the living room with a big smile on his face.
"What are you smiling about you damn rat?" Kyo asks.
"None of your business you stupid cat" Yuki replies.
Just then Tohru comes downstairs from her room also looking very excited.
"What are you smiling about Tohru?" Yuki asks
"I have news" Tohru says.
"So do I" Yuki says.
"Yuki-kun why don't you go first" Tohru says.
"Okay Tohru if you insist" Yuki replies.
"I just heard back from a college in America I'll be going there for two months for a tour" Yuki says.
Everyone turns to Tohru.
"So what is your news now Miss Honda" Yuki asks.
"I'm also going to America for a month I'm in the foreign exchange program" Tohru says.
"So does that mean another girl will be living here for a month" Kyo asks worriedly?
"No she'll be staying with my family but she'll be going to school with you guys" Tohru replies.
"Great" Kyo says sarcastically.
"Well I better start packing I leave tomorrow" Yuki says.
Tohru looks at Yuki a little shocked that he's leaving so soon.
"When are you leaving Tohru?" Yuki asks.
"Next month Yuki" Tohru replies.
The next morning Tohru, Shigure, Hatori, Momiji, Haru, and even Akito are at the airport to see Yuki off.
"Akito don't you have something to give Yuki" Hatori looks at him expectantly.
"Oh yes, I do" Akito says.
Akito walks up to Yuki and hands him a ring.
"What is this for?" Yuki asks looking at it suspiciously.
"It will keep you from transforming if someone hugs you it is the Sohma family ring" Akito replies walking back to stand next to Hatori.
"Thank you Akito" Yuki says bowing to him.
Everyone else says his or her goodbye. Tohru is about to walk away when Yuki grabs her arm.
"Aren't you going to say goodbye" Yuki asks looking at her sadly?
"I'll be seeing you in a week anyway Yuki" Tohru says also looking sad.
Just then they announce that his plan is boarding.
"You better go Yuki you don't want to miss your flight" Tohru says.
Without thinking Yuki grabs Tohru and pulls her in. He lowers his head and gently kisses Tohru on the mouth. Just as suddenly he releases Tohru and walks towards his boarding gate. Tohru is totally speechless. Kyo on the other hand is fuming because of what Yuki just did. Hatori walks up and taps Tohru on the shoulder.
"Miss Honda let's go" Hatori says.
"Okay Hatori" Tohru says.
They all get back into the limo and head back to their respective homes.
