It was a normal night, the full moon shining through the trees that surrounded her. She was walking home from work again, completely used to being alone in the dark.
She heard a rustling in the bushes to her left.
She quickly looked around, and saw a tiny bit of orange hair peeking over the bush.
She took a step back.
"Wh-Who are you..?" She asked tentitavely.
Slowly the boy stood up, he was a bit taller than her, so he just barely looked down on her.
"The name's Kyo Sohma, and who are you, to be walking around the forest at night?"
She looked suprised, she hadn't been expecting that qurstion from him.
"My name's..Tohru Honda.." She said quietly.
"Hm, Tohru, and interesting name for a young girl."
She blushed, she wasn't used to being alone with a guy, especially not one this cute.
"W-Well, I'll just be..Going now..." She didn't like this guy, he was starting to scare her.
She turned to walk away.
"I don't think so." He put a hand on her shoulder and turned her around. "I'd like to know more about you."
She was really panicing now. Just then, a figure stepped out from behind a tree.
"There you are Kyo, I really rather you wouldn't run off like th-- Oh, and who do we have here?"
Kyo looked back distractedly "Oh, hi Shigure."
"Hi, that's all you've got to say? Well, could you at least introduce me to your little friend here?" He was really enjoying teasing Kyo.
Tohru took a step back, ready to run. Then, seeing as the guys didn't seem to notice her, she turned and ran off as fast as she could.
When she finally got home, she went straight to her room, too afraid to take he shoes off.
"Now see what you've done! You scared her away!" Shigure was really starting to get on his nerves.
"Well, sorry for being interested in a cute girl."
"Why must you always be the pervert? She's way too young for you!" He just didn't see why Shigure had to be like this.
"Fine then, let's get back home. I'm worried about Zeshia."
"Fine."
They turned around and walked back home, completely ignoring the recent events.
Ayame was shocked to see Tohru so afraid. He went upstrairs to her room and knocked on the door.
"May I come in?"
"S-Sure..." Tohru was really scared, but glad that he was here.
Ayame walked in to see her sitting on the bed, curled up in a ball. He sat down next to her and wrapped his arms around her.
"Tell me what happened" He said gently, trying to calm her down.
Slowly she started to speak.
"I was walking home..I ran into this creepy guy in the woods. He said his name was Kyo Sohma.. I tried to run away at first, but he stopped me." She was having a hard time speaking behind her tears.
Ayame ran his fingers through her hair slowly, knowing it would help her relax.
"Keep going.."
She sniffed, but kept telling her story.
"Then and older guy came out of the dark, he kept talking to Kyo like I was his girlfriend or something.. I think his name was Shigure."
"Is that all, dear?"
"Y-Yes" She leaned against him for comfort.
He kissed her forehead and her her close to him.
"Now now, it'll be alright."
"I hope so..."
She looked up at him afraid, not knowing what to do.
He put a hand on her pale cheek and kissed her softly yet firmly, letting her worries melt away.
