Alright, Guys! Finally with the long awaited Chapter One of the sequel! Woot! As always. I don't own anything but the plot and sequence of events. Sadly enough. Anywho. On to the story...

Kyo awoke to the clanging of pans from the kitchen just down the stairs. He sighed heavily, shielding his eyes from the intense orange glow that intruded his room through the cheap curtains. He had given his room, gladly or not, to Tohru when he returned from the mountains. But in the past few months he had grown to like that idea, and the sacrifice was well worth the relationship they shared right now. Relationship...Kyo smiled, the words echoing in his head as he thought of the week before; he had confessed his love for Tohru. And she had accepted it, unconditionally. She had even defended him against Yuki! This is sure to be a promising semester...he laughed aloud, reluctantly rising from his warm bed.

Despite the warming temperatures outside, the hardwood paneling below his feet was unwelcoming, as if urging him back in bed until the floor was no longer cold to the touch. Normally he wouldn't argue with this, but he had school today. Damnit. He bent over, retrieving his usual attire from the wardrobe across the room. A slim fitted black button up shirt, with nice slacks to match, as well as a tie; his school uniform.

Yuki had been up for hours, merely staring at the ceiling, and the last retreating shadows as they danced across the walls, being chased away by the oppressive sunlight just outside his open window. School starts today...he rolled over in his neatly made bed, fully clothed and ready to go. He had been up since almost three am that morning, simply staring off into space. Decidedly bored, he forced his body upward, sitting upright on the bed as he listened to the clanging of pans from below. Miss Honda is making breakfast it seems...he smiled, welcoming the sweet smell of pancake syrup that intruded his bedroom through the vent in the wall opposite him. He stood then, replacing slippers with nice dress shoes as he tightened his tie around his neck, walking toward the door and into the hallway.

"Move it rat." Kyo's muffled groan was menacing as he shoved past Yuki, gliding down the stairs with perfect ease.

Yuki stood, unimpressed as his head shook. "Somebody sure seems in a great mood today." he scowled, as if staring at the cat intently enough would bring his body into combustion before Yuki's eyes. It certainly wouldn't hurt his complexion. He smiled morbidly at this thought, finding the Cat's pain amusing. Maybe he was cruel after all.

"Morning Miss Honda." Yuki smiled, ignoring the close proximity that she and Kyo had been found in. The cat was standing behind her, his hands gently clasped on each of her shoulders as he smiled, striking careless conversation; Kyo had definitely been a happier person in the past two days. It's revolting. Yuki groaned, shaking his head at the envious couple.

Tohru turned to greet him, her eyebrows pulled together in a worried glance, "Sohma-kun. Are you alright?" she smiled weakly, trying to concentrate as Kyo used her hands to help flip the pancakes from behind her. "You seem upset." she admitted, feeling a bit guilty as she backed away from Kyo's touch. Surely our relationship has bugged him...

"I'm fine, Miss Honda. Didn't sleep well. And I'm definitely not looking forward to school today." he sighed; it was half true. He didn't sleep well. And wasn't looking forward to school, especially knowing that almost all of his classes were shared with the couple. He was beginning to be disgusted by such happy atmospheres constantly near him. And as much as he hated being rude to Tohru, he just couldn't stand the fact that she'd still chosen the cat over him.

Tohru nodded slowly, seemingly convinced as her sleek brown hair flew behind her, as her long concentrated steps brought food to the table. "Breakfast is ready. I suggest you eat, Sohma-kun." she turned to him, her slender hand finding his cheek as her face lit up, "It would definitely make you feel better and ready to take on today." she smiled wider, thinking of her friends Hana-chan and Uo-chan.

Yuki couldn't help but nod, the angel before him dropping his face as she led him to the table where Shigure and Kyo were already fixing plates. Tphru sat across from Shigure, with Kyo on her left as Yuki took his usual place by her right; it appeared somethings never changed.

"What are you looking at, rat?" Kyo grunted, noticing Yuki had been spacing out and was now practically staring at the orange haired boy. He dropped his fork, his hands fisting on the the table. "Got another problem you'd like to share?" Kyo had always been defensive, whether Yuki had to say something to spark his anger or not.

Yuki stared blankly at the boy, not sure what to say anymore, "Um. No." his eyebrows pulled together noticing the threat in Kyo's voice, "But I'd surely like to spare you further embarrassment if you lost yet another fight in front of Honda-san." he smirked, watching Kyo's hair stand on end.

"Boys! Please..." Tohru pleaded, looking between the two. Her hand had found Kyo's fist on the table as she spoke, looking at him lovingly, yet cautiously. "Stop." she sighed, relazing a little when Kyo's hand unclenched and wrapped itself around her smaller one. Yuki nearly choked, looking at his plate as he muttered something inaudible.

"We're late for school..." he finally managed, pushing back from the table as he stood. He had caught Kyo's eye, and in seconds Kyo had bolted up the stairs, in a frantic rush to beat Yuki to the bedrooms. "Not this time..." Yuki grunted as he took off after the cat.

The sound of falling pictures and breaking glass proceeded, Shigure sighing heavily as he head fell into his fists, his greased hair falling in his face, "Not my house again..." he muttered in agony. He had rather enjoyed himself when the two destructive boys had been gone....

Tohru sighed, shaking her head as she collected plates before she went. "It is sure to be a promising semester with the two of them..." Tohru placed the dishes in the soapy water, intending to do them when she got home. She bent over, grabbing her backpack as she replaced it on her shoulder, turning to Shigure.

Shigure's eyes were dark from lack of sleep, and something else; Secrecy maybe? But Tohru couldn't quite figure it out before he spoke to her, "Be careful Tohru Honda. You're getting into a relationship with one of our family...There's surely hardships to come..." his voice was grave and strained, leaving Tohru clueless.

Who could possibly try to hurt me? I'm friend with everyone else in the family...well. Of course there's Rin...She shook her head at the thought of the stubborn horse. But even they were getting along these days. It wasn't until several minutes of calculating that she had finally figured out who would even think about hurting Kyo – Let alone her.

Akito....

So there it is everyone! I hope you really enjoyed this. I know it's not much, but I thought it was a good place to start off – Or at least I thought. Well, as always. Please Review! I want some ideas as to what kind of problems you'd like these people to come across! And what kind of awkward situations you'd like to see Kyo and Tohru in. ;)

NEXT TIME: Kyo becomes bold; makes a move on Tohru? Yuki meets a strange transfer student (My OC), and the prince makes a new friend?! Hope you're all excited!
