Chapter 1

"I'm sorry, Kyo-kun..."

That was the last I ever heard of her. Tohru Honda.

One year later, I miss her more than ever. Her cheerful smile, her idiotic clumsiness, and her talent to look at the bright side of everything that came her way.

So why did she leave? Why did she leave me? Why did she leave me with no more than memories?

I'm busy sulking in my memories when the stupid phone rings. I bring the phone to my ear. "Who's this?" I blurt.

"Now, now, that's such an insulting way to greet your elder, Kyonkichi. Now, why don't you come to my shop? After all, my dear brother Yuki is ..." Before that damn Ayame could finish, I slammed down the phone. Did he seriously think I would go somewhere with a brat like him? Even though the curse had been broken, I had a hard time breaking our enemy relationship, and I still hated him. For everything.

It was time to go back to thinking about Tohru. I hadn't missed a day thinking about her. Her face caressed my dreams. She was with me every second of the day, consoling me, laughing with me, and wearing that cute confused expression on her face. But now...

Where was she? What had happened to her? It was a nightmare, what I was going through. Why didn't she just give me a logical reason for her disappearance?

I've asked, believe me. Hatori? "I don't know." Shigure? "You're such a pervertttt, Kyo." Akito? "Shut up, bastard." I had asked Momiji, Kagura, Hatsuharu, Yuki (yeah, I asked him too.), Kureno, Hiro, Kisa, Ayame, Rin, Ritsu, Arisa, Hanajima...The heck with it! WHY DIDN'T ANYBODY KNOW WHERE SHE'D GONE TO?

The phone rang again. This time it was Hatori.

"What NOW? That bastard Ayame just called and now you? What do you want?"

"Kyo. Calm down. It is imperative you come down to Ayame's shop."

"Why? Do I gotta do everything you say?"

"No, but this is an urgent case. There's a girl who stopped by the shop. She doesn't remember her name, or who she is, or what her identity is, but she has an uncanny resemblance to Tohru-"

I slammed down the phone.

Did he just say Tohru?
