Tohru ran blindly towards the open doors of the church. Her hair flowing behind her in a tangled mess, tears streaming down her muddied cheeks. Her dress would have looked beautiful if it hadn't been decorated with tears and patches of dirt. She looked a wreck, but she didn't care.
"Kyou…" Tohru whispered the name as she finally found him standing at the chapel with a bewildered face. "Kyou!" She cried out happily as she ran towards him, only to be stopped by…
"Yuki?" Tohru asked bewildered. "Yuki, you have you have to help me, I need to stop the wedding!"
"Why would I help you stop my wedding?" Yuki asked as he left Tohru's side and strode calmly towards Kyou. Tohru watched in horror as Kyou casually slid an arm around Yuki with a smile on his face. "Don't stop this wedding Tohru. This is the best thing that has happened in my life!"
"No….no…KYOU!" Tohru awoke with a startled jump. Her wide eyes began to relax as she leaned back into her bed. She had been having the same dream for almost a month now. Oddly enough, they had started coming to her at about the same time she realized she liked Kyou THAT way. She liked him THAT way a lot.
"What a stupid dream." Tohru murmured to herself sleepily. "Kyou and Yuki…getting married?" She let a giggle slip out of her yawn as she stretched. Slowly, she forced herself to climb out of her luscious bed and stumbled her way to her dresser. She focused her large, innocent eyes on her small digital clock.
"NANI! H-how did I wake up this late!" Tohru cried out in shock.
"How irresponsible of me! Now I bet that everybody is starving downstairs!" Tohru grunted to herself as she desperately attempted to slide her sock on while strapping on her bra.
"They must all be thinking about what a horrible mistake it was to let me continue living here with them for such a long time," Tohru continued to speak her worries as she hastily pulled her inside-out shirt over her bobbing head.
"Shigure probably forced Yuki into making breakfast for everybody since I was busy drooling on my pillow, and now everyone is probably in the hospital lying on their deathbeds!" Images of Yuki accidentally adding rat poison into their breakfast suddenly paraded into Tohru's head, followed shortly by a coughing Kyou, rolling on the floor in horrible agony, cursing her name.
"Gomen Kyou! I promise to nurse you back to health!" Tohru sighed as she paused with her pants midway up her legs, as a fantasy about taking care of Kyou quickly crept into her head and overtook her thoughts. "Kyou…say ahh… Kyou…let me help you with that…Kyou…would you like a sponge ba-AHH! Bad thoughts, bad thoughts!" Tohru blushed furiously while trying to shake the embarrassment off. "I need to keep myself busy," Tohru flounced backwards onto her bed, mentally making a list of all of the things that she could do to distract herself from thinking about that hot, sexy, absolutely lickable…I mean…that nice boy Kyou.
"Let's see…I could clean Kyou's bedroom…or do Kyou's laundry…or help Kyou with his homework…or…AHH! It's useless! Everything leads back to him!" Tohru silently cursed her obsessed heart. Actually, her heart wouldn't have been a nuisance if it hadn't been partnered with her passive personality. She wished that she could bring herself to do something that would make her presence be known to Kyou.
Exhausted from her despair, she tiredly turned her head to the side. and caught a glimpse of her clock.
"Ahh! How did I not realize it's so late?" With that, Tohru began running out of her room and into the kitchen.
Unfortunately, she only made it as far as the outside of Kyou's bedroom before the pants around her ankles tripped her.
Discovery! Pants need to be all the way on before I can run
Tohru sighed to herself as she pulled her pants up and tried to collect her thoughts in the hallway. Slumping against a wall, she consciously tried to steady her breath.
Tohru…calm down. The Sohma's wouldn't kick you out just because you woke up late one morning
Says you…you're the same brain that told me running out my bedroom half-dressed was smart two seconds ago! Why should I trust you!
Because I'm the only part of you that can stay logical and responsible enough to help you win Kyou's heart
As Tohru's instincts and brain battled within, her ears managed to catch a few whispering voices coming from behind Kyou's door.
Go on…listen Tohru! Eavesdropping on your love interest's private conversations is the first step to making him like you
Tohru inwardly thanked her brilliant brain for such welcomed and ingenious advice while she quietly pressed her ear to the door. At first, she could only pick up muffled voices…voices that seemed to belong to…Yuki and Kyou? Yes, Yuki and Kyou.
"What are they talking about?" Tohru murmured to herself. She tried to concentrate harder on listening to the words coming from their mouths. "Wedding? Did Yuki say something about a wedding?" Tohru softly exclaimed to herself. She loved weddings! "Now, who's getting married?"
"Of course I'll do it! Yuki, you have made me the happiest man alive!" Kyou's loud voice suddenly burst through the door and into Tohru's ears. For a moment, Tohru stood there, trying to make sense of what she had just heard. Placing her hands over her ears to block out all distractions, she managed to collect all of the clues she had gathered. She knew that a) Yuki had mentioned the word wedding to Kyou, b) Kyou sounded happy about it and was willing to be apart of it, and c) she had been having reoccurring dreams of the two getting married and whenever that happened in a television show it always meant that it would soon come true. She had come to a conclusion…but it wasn't pretty.
Brain?
Yea?
Do you think that Yuki and Kyou are getting married too?
Yup
Brain?
Yea?
Have I ever told you how much you suck?
Author's Notes: Hello! I know that I started a story long, long ago, and haven't done a thing to it since (Case Wide Open), but I honestly don't know where I'm going with that one, and I really wanted to do this story. I am going to finish this story though, I absolutely refuse to give up on this! So I hope that you're enjoying it so far and this short prologue doesn't make you wretch from the other lack of talent. Please continue reading the other chapters (they'll be up soon) because I'm going to keep posting them.
