Chapter 1: The Move
Tears slid down my face as I stood in front of the taxi, looking at everyone who had come to see us off. I leaned in close to Kyo for a moment and his hand tightened on mine. He stepped forward, pulling me gently behind him to come closer to everyone. I looked at each of their faces: Momiji, Yuki, Kagura, Shigure, Hatori, Ayame, Hana, Uo, Hiro, Haru, Kisa, Rin, Ritsu, Kureno, even Akito had come. "Come on." Kyo whispered still gently tugging on my arm. He lead me down the line of people, stopping at each to say our goodbyes. I was both happy and sad as we finally got into the taxi, waving goodbye as it drove off.
After a few miles I leaned into Kyo, tears sliding down my face. "Aw, don't cry. Its not like we're leaving forever." He said soothingly, rubbing my arm. I couldn't seem find the words to answer him, so I turned my face into his shoulder and stayed there until the taxi stopped in front of the dojo. Kyo opened the door and stepped out of the car, me following closely behind him, and strode up to the taxi driver. "Thank you." He said handing the money to the driver. The driver smiled as Kyo walked to the gate where a man stood. He bowed to the older man who had white hair and electric blue eyes. "Master Arashi." Kyo stated like he was greeting him. "Hello, Kyo." He answered bowing his head. As he brought his head up from the bow his eyes locked with mine. "Ah, this must be Ms. Tohru Honda." He said walking towards me with a large smile on his face. He took my hand and kissed it gently, "I've heard so much about you."
"You have?" I answered skeptically.
"Why, yes. I spoke to Akito yesterday and I've been in contact with Kyo and Kazuma for quite sometime."
"Oh, you're a Sohma?"
"Would there be any other way we could live here?" Kyo chimed in, sounding annoyed.
"Allow me to show you to your room." Arashi said, picking up one of the bags.
Kyo followed suit and picked up the other two bags, leaving me with nothing to carry. We followed Arashi past the gate and into the dojo area, where young children were leaning various martial arts. He stopped momentarily, correcting one young girl's form, and continued on to a small room off the hall. He slid the door open and stepped in, setting the bag down on the floor. I stepped in after Kyo and noticed there were two beds in the room, "Who else stays here?" I asked, getting excited that I may have a roommate. "Kyo." He answered simply.
"You have got to be kidding me!" Kyo screamed.
"Not at all."
"You expect me and Tohru to share a room? Or did you forget she's a girl and I'm a guy?"
"We have no other rooms, you must share it." Arashi said sounding angry. He began to step out the door, but turned at the last second, "Kyo you remember where everything is, right? Show Tohru around for a while and dinner is at six." After those last words he shut the door in Kyo's face. "Great! Just great! Keep treating me like the damned cat!" Kyo yelled at the door before turning to face me.
