CHAPTER 1

Sliding open the door, Tohru carefully took her shoes off, and entered the house. Looking into the main room, she gave a small smile when she saw two young men asleep at the table. Looking at her watch, she decided it wasn't too late to wake them up.

"Yuki-kun…..Kyo-kun…..wake up please…." She shook their shoulders, and they started to stir. The boy nearest her had deep violet eyes and hair the shade of purple. The other boy had eyes that were a fiery red, and orange hair to go with it.

The violet-eyed boy opened his eyes, and said, "Welcome back Honda-san. I'm sorry I couldn't come pick you up, but student council kept me busy for a while." He sat up fully, and offered Tohru a small smile. The other boy propped his head up with one arm, and yawned loudly.

"'Bout time you got here! Now I can get to bed finally!" His words might have been harsh, but his face was in a smile. Tohru laughed softly, while the other boy glared.

"You didn't have to wait here, you stupid cat." The boy known as Yuki gave a smirk, as the other boy, Kyo, started to get angry.

"You want to start a fight, huh rat? Well, you got yourself one!" Yuki's smirk gre larger, as Kyo leaped over the table at him.

"STOP, PLEASE!" Both boys, startled, turned to look at Tohru, who said, "It's late……Why don't we all head off to bed? Tomorrow is out last day of school before winter break!"

Kyo stormed off, muttering, while Yuki looked over to Tohru, giving her another small smile. "I'm sorry that you were caught in the middle of that, Honda-san." He bowed, then also disappeared. Tohru smiled to herself, thinking, 'I must be the luckiest person in the world, to have such a great friends…' She went up the stairs and into her room…

NEXT DAY

Yuki came into the kitchen to see Tohru putting food on the table. "Good morning Honda-san"

"Oh! Yuki-kun! Good morning!" She flashed him a dazzling smile, and he offered one of his small smiles back. Kyo then appeared at the door, also in his uniform like the other two. "Kyo-kun! You're up later than usual…" Kyo just grunted and mumbled something, before sitting down and starting to eat. Tohru glanced over at Yuki, who shrugged, and they both sat down. Before they could start eating though, another, older man appeared at the door. His eyes were a dark color, just like his hair. He took a big, dramatic sniff, and said,

"Ahhh…. Our flower has done it again!" He sat down, breaking his chop sticks, and said, "Another delicious meal, given to us from the humble heart of our little Tohru!"

Tohru blushed, and replied, "W-well, it's the least I can do, you letting me stay and all….And it's not that hard!"

The man, named Shigure, shook his finger at her. "Ah ah ah! Take credit where credit is due, Tohru!" She mumbled and looked down at her food, her cheeks still red. Both boys glared at Shigure. After a while, he noticed, and drawled. "Oh my! Such hostile young men! How could Tohru have ever been stuck with them? I know! I will just stay with her all day, protect her, and…."

He was cut off by both of them standing up. Yuki pulled Tohru up, who looked confuse, and Kyo grabbed their bags. Before Shigure could say anything, they were all out of the house. Shigure shrugged, saying to himself, "Boys will be boys…"

(note: I'm going to call Uotani, "Arisa" when it is third person)

In homeroom, Tohru is sitting at her desk, with a tall, blonde-haired girl sitting on the desk, and a dark-haired girl standing beside her.

"Tohru….what are you planning to do for you vacation?" asked the dark-haired girl, Saki Hanajima.

"Yea! The guys going to take you anywhere?" This came from the blonde, Arisa Uotani.

"I think we are going up to a ski lodge! But I'm not sure….Ayame-san hinted at something…." She gazed at nothing in particular for a moment, thinking. Finally she said, "What about you, Uo-chan? Hana-chan?"

Arisa jerked a thumb over at Hanajima, and replied, "I'm staying with Hana-chan for the holidays, so no need to worry about us!"

"Yes….we will be the one worrying about you, stuck with a group of men on a mountain….who knows what could happen?" Hanajima said this in her soft, mysterious voice.

"Hah! Don't worry Tohru; Hana-chan is just being dramatic. But still…..make sure you call us at least once every now and then, so we can check up on you."

Tohru nodded, but before she could say anything, the bell rang and the teacher came in. Hanajima nodded to her and walked away, while Arisa gave a small wave and a big grin.

At lunch, Tohru sat on the roof, with Yuki and Kyo, along with a small blonde-haired boy and a boy with black and white hair.

"Does she know?" said the boy with black and white hair, named Hatsuharu. The blonde boy, Momiji, bounced over to kyo saying,

"Yea yea yea! Have you told her yet!" Kyo, Yuki, Hatsuharu, and Momiji were all cousins, so Tohru thought they might be talking about someone she didn't know.

Yuki shook his head, and said, "I think Ni-chan told her for us…..Do you know where we are going for the break, Honda-san?"

Tohru brightened up, and said, "Ayame-san said we were going to a ski lodge on a mountain!"

Yuki nodded, and Momiji bounced over to her, excitedly chattering. "I'll be going too! Along with Haru! Oh, of course Hatori, in case we get hurt, and Ayame," Yuki went stiff at the mention of his older brother,"and Kagura," Kyo went stiff when he heard this name," and Kisa and Hiro!"

The rest of the lunch was spent talking about their up-coming trip, with Kyo and Yuki dreading the company of two certain zodiac members….
