Ok, this is my first story. So, if it's bad, just let me know. Thanx.

Here it goes...

Chapter 1: What Happened That Day...

"Ahhh! Another day! Looks like this is going to be a bright one!" Tohru exclaimed as she woke up on Monday morning. She dressed for school and went downstairs early in order to prepare breakfast as usual. Everything seemed to be ordinary, perfect, and in place. As she was placing the broth and dim sum on the table, the boys came in.

"Good morning, Honda-san." Yuki said.

"G'Mornin', Tohru" This was Kyo (no duh).

"Good morning and thank you so much, Tohru-kun!" sang Shigure. "Looks like our princess keeps blooming more and more every day!"

"Don't start…" Warned Yuki.

"Or else." Kyo continued.

"Hehe… alright" replied Shigure, nervously.

After all had eaten breakfast, Tohru, Yuki, and Kyo began to get ready for school.

"Goodbye, Shigure-san!" Tohru said as they headed out the door.

"Goodbye, Tohru-kun!" Shigure yelled back. Once the door closed, Shigure suddenly felt a pang of pain in his head and collapsed. Mind spinning and heart rapidly beating, Shigure reached for the corner of the table for balance. What is this? I haven't had this for years. Could it be? One of those…

Shigure looked up and through the window. Seeing the trio was safe, he felt relieved and felt normal again. Maybe it was just me. Something surely can't happen on a day like this. But… Shigure thought, I have to keep an eye on them…

After school, the three were walking home together.

"Honda-san," Yuki said, "I was just wondering, do you like living with us? I mean, I know you've been with us for a long time and I'm not trying to chase you out, but, are you okay with the curse and everything?"

"Oh, I'm fine!" replied Tohru with a smile." I wouldn't live anywhere else! It's so much fun living with all of you!"

Yuki smiled at this. Remembering all that has happened to the members of the Sohma family with her as a witness.

When they arrived home, Shigure was waiting for them on the porch.

"What are you doing here!" yelled Kyo. "You usually wait for us inside! Are you trying to pull some damn trick or something!"

"My, my, Kyo-kun!" Shigure whimpered," You are so cynical! Why can't I ever get a 'hi Shigure, nice to see you again' once in a while from you guys. The only one to say that is Tohru-kun, in which I don't mind."

"Why you…" growled Kyo.

"Give it up, stupid cat." Interrupted Yuki. "Anyway, what are you doing here, Shigure?"

"Nothing," replied Shigure innocently. "Just wanted to see that all of you came home" Good, seems that nothing has happened. Phew! thought Shigure. So, it really was me…

"Oh no!" exclaimed Tohru. "I forgot about some ingredients for dinner! I'm going to stop by the grocery store really quick!"

"Okay," replied Yuki. "Do you need me to come with you?"

"Don't worry about it. I'm only going to buy a couple of things!" Tohru said while putting her coat on.

"Remember to be safe." Said Yuki.

"I will!" replied Tohru as she rushed out the door.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wow, what a day! Tohru thought as she was walking back from the grocery store. I wonder what tomorrow will bring! She continues, optimistically. Then, a shadow looms over her thoughts. It's only a couple more weeks until graduation. She realizes. I haven't even found a way to break the Juunishi curse… I should think harder then! I will never give—

A hand and a silver katana interrupted her thoughts.

All right! That's Chapter one! I know it isn't really that good. I'm trying my total hardest! Please be patient with me! ;o
