Hey everyone, this is a revised copy of the first chapter. I reread what I had written and I saw that I made many errors through out it so I revised it. Hope you like it! Don't worry I didn't change the story any. - Aya
Chapter 1:
It was about seven o'clock and the Sohma house was completely silent. The only sound that could be heard was the sound of rain drumming loudly on the windows. The storm had lasted for most of the day, but was finally starting to lighten up a bit. The silence however was disturbed when the phone rang. Tohru walked out of the kitchen where Yuki, Kyou and herself had been studying into the main hall to answer the phone.
"I got it!" She said in her normal cheery voice. "Hello?"
"Hello? Tohru, hi is Sake over there?" It was Mrs. Hanajima asking. Her voice seemed a bit worried.
"No Mrs. Hanajima, she left about two hours ago. She isn't at home yet?" Tohru's face fell. It wasn't like Hana to just decide not to go home.
"No, and I already called Arisa's house and she hasn't seen her since school." Mrs. Hanajima's voice sounded even more worried now. "Sake's father is out looking for her now. I have to stay home incase she calls. So I better let you go just in case." Her mom finished. It was plain that he mother was crying, though Tohru could tell she was trying to hide it.
"Alright Mrs. Hanajima, I am going to go out and help look for her right away!" Tohru said in the determined voice. Her eyes began to water and she tried to hold back the tears.
"Thank you Tohru sweetie...also make sure to call if you hear anything. Thank you again Tohru. Bye." Hana's Mom said as she hung up the phone.
Tohru hang up the phone and stared at it in shock. This wasn't like Hana at all. Sure she was really weird. But Hana was always someone you could count on and was always where she was supposed to be when she needed to be there.
Shigure walked into the room. "OH! Tohru, who was on the phone?" He asked as he leaned against the door frame of his office.
Tohru looked over at Shigure with tears in her eyes. "Shigure Hana hasn't been home all day. Her mom hasn't heard from her or anything. This isn't like her I am really worried." It was just like Tohru to always assume the worst has happened when someone is acting out of their normal character.
"Whose mom hasn't heard from who?" Kyou asked standing in the kitchen doorway. Kyou and Yuki both had come into the hall to see what was keeping Tohru.
"Is something the matter Ms. Honda?" Yuki asked standing next to Kyou.
Tohru looked over at the two boys standing there, now completely crying. "Hana's mom just called and asked if she was over here...she hasn't been home all day and no one knows where she is...." She took a deep breath and whipped her tears away. Both boys had worried looks on their faces. Neither of the boys were close to Hana it was more Tohru they were worried about. Neither of them liked to see Tohru sad. "I am going to go out and help look for her!" She opened the hall closet and grabbed her coat putting it on. "I have to find her! I have to know she is ok!"
"But Ms. Honda the storm! You can't go out in it. It isn't safe." Yuki protested. He, of course, wasn't the only one to object.
"Rat Boy's right. It isn't safe for you to go out in the storm by yourself." Kyou agreed.
"But...but I have to Hana is my best friend and I can't just sit here and do nothing."
"But Hana wouldn't want you to put yourself in danger like that, I am sure." Shigure said kindly.
"I'll go out and look for her if you want," said Kyou, "I would much rather go then have you go. At least this way we all know you're safe."
"But Kyou, it's raining, and the rain always makes you feel sick and weak!" said Tohru sadly. "What if something happens to you while you're out?"
"I'll be fine!" He said firmly. This was no time to worry about feeling sick. He could deal with the rain, if it meant making Tohru happy.
Finally Shigure came up with an idea. "Ok what if Yuki went with Tohru. That way she isn't out by herself, and the rain doesn't bother Yuki so he could protect her. Then Kyou can go by himself. Because Kyou is right he can deal with the rain, and so he could take care of himself. And I will stay here incase someone calls."
Yuki agreed "its better then Ms. Honda going out by herself," he said.
Kyou, of course, had no objection to it what so ever. "Whatever..." Shigure was right he could take care of himself, but he wouldn't be able to help Tohru out any if he went with her.
Yuki and Kyou quickly grabbed their coats and three flashlights with extra batteries and the three of them were out the door. Yuki said that he and Tohru would look in the forest first then head into the north part of town, which left Kyou with the bay and the south part of the town. So they split up and Yuki and Tohru started searching the forest while Kyou made his way to the bay.
Yuki and Tohru didn't talk much during their search. They both were too busy looking very carefully over every bit of the forest to be sure that they didn't miss a thing. The storm was started to lighten up even more, which they were both thankful for. This would make it easier for everyone to search and it also meant Kyou would be able to search without feeling sick. Yuki and Tohru spent a long time in the forest. It was well past 9 o'clock, and the storm had been competently over for the past hour, before Tohru and Yuki left the forest to head into the Northern part of town.
Meanwhile Kyou was running towards the bay, the best he could anyway. "Damn rain....at least it is lightening up more." It was true the rain was getting less, but to him it felt like it would never stop. By the time Kyou reached the bay the rain had already hindered. He walked out onto the beach shining his light all over trying to see anywhere Hana might be. He walked a ways up the beach and then stopped dead in his tracks shocked at what he saw.
