Prologue:

During a quiet night, in the Shigure Sohma house, over the singing crickets, a soft sob is coming from one of the upstairs room. At this point, everyone is asleep, except, one occupant of the house in particular, a young teenage girl.

Tohru is sobbing over something she thinks she has done wrong. In her hands, she holds a picture of her Guide and Mother, wearing her cute yellow nightgown.

She sits upon her bed in the still darkness of her room, so not to disturb anyone, recalling what happened a few hours ago, on the last day of school. She thought of the mistakes she did during the day and even attempts on figuring a solution.

Although, she comes up with none because of her mind filled with many troubles. It was too much for her to keep secret because she thought too much of it.

She had done a mistake of lying to one of her closest friends, Yuki. A great person he is indeed but she did not think she was good enough for anyone, him included because of the kindness he had shown to her.

'Was it right to do that, Mom? I know I love him… Although, more of a brother-sister love,' she hiccuped, 'But, I told him a lie', Tohru laid her head down on her pillow and recalled the recent events…

oOo FlashBack oOo

The last day of school has come, where many young teenagers race to and from different rooms of the school, getting ready for the New Year. The day being a beautiful, sun-shiny day, people who have free time spend it outside with their friends.

Although, a small amount of others, harness their time to confess there sweet and young love, bringing the current moment to familiar faces, Yuki and Tohru. The two have nestled in a quiet spot under a charming, deciduous Japanese Zelkova tree.

"Here, I want you to have this, Tohru," Yuki handed her a small book, with a small sweet smile. It was a normal composition book with the words in neat handwriting 'Yuki's Journal'

Tohru gently took the book from Yuki's hands, while looking up into his almond shaped eyes. She looked back down and turned it around, looking on the back, unintentionally forgetting that it might have a title.

"Hmmm… what's this, Yuki?"

"This is for you, my journal. When I go to the Sohma house for a few months, during the summer, I want you to have this to remember me, just in case anything happens…" He dropped his head a little, shielding his eyes.

Tohru looked at him bewildered. She began to think, 'What might happen, though? Is something bothering him that he doesn't want to say?'

'Truly, I don't know what will happen to me there… but I guess as long as Tohru is safe from Akito, I'll go peacefully,' Yuki thought, 'But why does she have to be alone with Kyo? Does Akito realize this? He must know that Shigure is leaving, right?'

"Yuki! No matter where you go… I will never forget you… wait- this is your journal," Tohru gasped, surprised.

"Yes, it is", he chuckled, seeing her so astonished, "Later, when you get back home, I want you to read this, okay?"

Tohru thought about it, thinking that maybe this would not be such a good idea because she thought that she does not deserve something so sacred. Not that Yuki had thought of only bad ideas, for that is not what she meant at all!

"But, Yuki! This is your personal belonging! Do you really trust me with it!"

"Of course, why wouldn't-", Yuki was cut off by a student from the student council, "President Yuki, we need your help with cleaning up."

"Of course", He nodded and the boy walked off. Yuki turned to Tohru that was still in shock for keeping his journal.

Tohru looked up to him and thought, 'Mom… I think I know what his journal will say. Yuki… he likes me, doesn't he?'

She glanced at him, 'But, why? I don't deserve this… Can I really keep his journal safe? I'll keep it precious but… not because I love him the way he does for me.' Tohru looked down.

'What would you do, Mom? Maybe I should tell him I love him… It will make him very happy. And I would love it if he is happy again.'

She peered up again and saw Yuki look at her softly, seeing she seemed like she was going to cry. A tear fell down her cheek, as she tried to keep quiet, seeing as Yuki was about to speak.

"Tohru, I trust you to keep my journal safe and you to read it when you get back home alright? I will try to stay in contact to you, if I can. So—"Yuki was cut off again, "Yuki? Are you coming? We need to clean up early today and get things ready for next year before the day ends. Come on!"

Tohru gawked at him the whole time he spoke, apparently not listening. Instead, she stood there, trying to keep from crumbling to the floor in tears, being so confused that she might just run away from the situation at hand.

'Oh, what should I do!' Tohru screamed in her head, 'I want him to be happy but… AAAahh! I forgot about Kyo! What will he do! He is the one I-! However, I can't… Yuki is leaving to the Sohma Estate and I want him to be happy while he is there,' she bit her lip.

"I'll be there in a second," Yuki closed his eyes and tapped his foot aggravated with the annoying kid.

"Okay" and the boy walked off again but before he did, there was a yell coming from Tohru, "Yuki! I understand your gesture, that you- that you have fallen for me," Yuki blinked and looked at her with his sparkling violet eyes.

"Yuki… I have the same feeling. I l-love… you too," she cried harder as she lied.

She shut her eyes holding back her tears…. She felt like this is right but it felt wrong as well. What she has done now, she cannot take back.

"Um… I guess I should take my leave," the kid from the student council laughed nervously and slid across the pavement, the friction of his shoes and the ground barely heard in the awkward silence.

To say at the least Yuki was surprised. Yuki was joyous and confused that she complied to him. Nevertheless, it is just that.

She had certainly seemed to say this for him. She did not seem to…

'Why is she crying so much…?'
