Author Note: I dedicate this to some of my dear friends, those Mystic girls. Also, this story came ito my head as I was going to sleep last night, so here is chapter one.

Lauren- My twin. I will remeber the pointless fights, of course.

Kate- My little blonde friend. You read FB with me and argued so much, love you.

Jacy- I'm not sure if you got around tpo reading these, but i'll get there first next year!

Prolouge

I remember it like it was yesterday. My name? Kyo Sohma, the cat. It was our graduation day at highschool, our last day to be together. I watched as Tohru Honda went up to recieve her diploma, smiling so brightly with tears in her eyes. Pretty much everyone who knew Tohru and us was there: Kagura, Shigure(for more then one reason), Hatori, Ayame(to Yuki's dislike), Hiro, Kisa, Kureno(mostly to see Arisa Uotani, since they got together last year. Although Akito was royally pissed), Momiji, Haru, and the rest of us, except Akito.

Over the past year, Tohru had been studying English to go to a school as a foriegn exchange student in America, to be a nurse. Hatori, of course, was giving her all sorts of advice. Yuki, Shigure, and myself knew she would have to leave once we graduated, eventually. And the reality of it, we couldn't hug her, just stand there and say 'Bye, Tohru.' Damn, it sucks being cursed. So, she left after graduation. Got on a plane, went to America to start a new life at eighteen.

Five Years Later

Tohru was racking her brain, sitting at her desk in her dormitory. English by far was extremely difficult to learn, especially to become a nurse. But she had done it, gotten the terms down, learned English in about three years, and was graduating school. She missed home so much. She missed her mom. Of course, Tohru had her mother's picture, but it wasn't the same as being in Japan with your mother's grave right there. At twenty-three, she was finally graduating. Now she needed to make a choice: To stay here or to go home.

She had met so many new faces. Her best friend, Tami Burtch was here as her roomate. She had found herself an American boyfriend even, but they broke up. It was nice to hug them though, not have the boy turn into a animal when you did. Sometimes she wandered home the Sohmas were doing. Did Yuki learn how to cook? Or were they living on charcoal again? Had Kyo finally beaten Yuki? Nope, that was for sure. What about Kagura? Had she succeeded in marrying Kyo? So many questions, only one place to find the answers. Tohru sighed and set her head on her desk.

She stood up finally and looked at herself in the mirror. Her had was now down past her waist, she hadn't grown any taller, but she did look more mature. Yes, she was still the same kind and caring Tohru who knew how to cook, clean, and take care of everything. Heck, she hadn't even called the boys in over five years! She was losing touch... Tohru sighed and walked over to her nighttable, looking at that picture Hatori snapped of Kyo and Yuki together at her school's Cultural Fest. Yuki and his dress.. Was he still Prince Yuki? Most likely.

"Tohru!" Tamara burst in the room, dinner in hand. "I got us burgers!"

"Oh, thanks, Tamara," Tohru smiled weakly.

"What's up, you look so... unhappy." Could we guess Tamara was a cheerleader?

"I'm fine, no worries." She smiled and grabbed her burger, sitting down on her bed.

The next morning, Tohru was up at the crack of dawn, scrambling around. She put in a little blush, one of her best dresses, and then her graduation robe. Tamara was just stirring.

"What time is it?" She asked grogily.

"Time to get dressed! The ceremony is in an hour!" Tohru burst out, speeding out of the room, leaving Tamara to blink.

Tohru was down at the school gym fifteen minutes early after getting some breakfast, doing her hair, and talking to a professor. She was ready. Tohru searched the crowd as her class filed in, about forty students. Where were they.. Wait, they didn't know she was graduating. Tohru sighed and looked around the auditorium, waiting for her name to be called. Well, she only had to wait ten minutes before she jumped up and went to get her diploma. She shook her principal's hand and smiled brightly, sitting down again.

"Tohry, promise you'll visit sometime!" Tamara gushed over Tohru a week later as she boarded the plane to Japan.

"I will!" She vowed and waved, stepping onto her plane.

Okay, so. I came up with this and have dedicated it.
