Author's note: I've currently read the first 10 volumes of Furuba, which means I haven't read about Rin yet, so she won't be in the story. Which also means Hatsuharu, just like all the other zodiac males, will be single. Sorry about that, I've heard RinxHaru is a popluar pairing lol ;P anyway, some of the words in the fic may be in other languages, or otherwise connected to foreign culture. Those words will be marked with an , and explained at the bottom of the page.


Chapter 1: Beach house 3

As Tohru was packing the last pair of shoes, Momiji was bouncing of the walls.

"Tohru-chan, let's get going already!"

"Ah, yes. I'm almost done." She replied, in the stressed tone of voice she commonly used towards the rabbit.

It was a sweetly sunny Saturday morning, and Tohru and a bunch of the zodiacs had made plans to accompany Uotani and Hanajima to the Sohma beach house. Because of the approaching holiday, the schools would be closed Monday, which meant they could stay a full three days.

Shigure entered the room, wearing a casual purple yukata.

"Ne, Momiji-kun, why don't we leave Tohru-kun alone to pack? We could use a middler downstairs to prevent Yuki and Kyo-chan from cutting off each other's heads."

Tohru-kun in a… swimsuit!! 3

"Ja!" He glomped Tohru to turn into a rabbit, and quickly skipped down the stairs.


10 minutes later Shigure was helping the riceball load her stuff into the car. Hana, Uo, and the zodiacs were sitting in groups on the grass, chatting. Kyo sat by himself. He looked around at the the others, when something struck him. There were just too many people there then what could fit into his cousin's car, and Hatori or Ayame was not to be seen. He went to ask Shigure.

"Hmm, yes. Ayame had to work this weekend, and Hatori is ironically enough sick. You, Yuki, Tohru and Hanajima-san will be going with Uotani-san." He said in his happy sing-song voice.

"What?!" Kyo made a fist, and his red hair was standing straight up. "I'm not getting into a car with that maniac! And how can she even have a license? She's in our grade!"

Uotani, who had heard the conversation, stood up. "I'm actually older than you. I had to re-take first year." She beamed proudly, which just added to Kyo's annoyance. "That's nothing to be proud of, weirdo!"

Honda, the constant peace activist, broke in. "It's alright, Kyo. Arisa is actually a very good driver. …careful."

Kyo couldn't help chuckling at the idea of Uotani doing something carefully, but to avoid stressing up Tohru any further, he got into the car, followed by Yuki and Tohru and her friends.

"Alright." The novelist clapped his hands togheter, seeming to have completey missed the fight. "The rest of you; Momiji, Hatsuharu, Hiro and Kisa, you'll be going with me."

Kisa turned to Tohru to wave goodbye. "Onee-chan, Let's meet at the beach." She yelled with a small tear in her eye. She threw a gaze at the muscular blonde girl. "Be safe…"

Tohru, who had even more easy to cry, sobbed slightly as she said that, and rushed to Kisa to grab her hands. "I will, Kisa! Don't worry about me!"

She released her hands and walked back to the two boys, who stared firmly on the floor, looking quite embarresed.

"Alright, you kids ready?" Uotani didn't wait for a reply, but stepped on the pedal. Hard.

"What the !" there was a weak scent of fear in the cat's voice. "This is a 90-road!"

1: yukata, a light kimono mainly used at summer

2: Ja, german word for 'yes'

Author's note: so the first chapter is ready. It's quite short, but I didn't want to have to many scenes in one chapter. In case you were wondering why Kagura isn't in it, Kyo "lost" her invitation. As for Ritsu, she has an appearance planned later on in the story Please review
