Author's Note: Well, I have returned from camp. This year was quite interesting…
Five years earlier, before graduation
"Kyo!" Tohru bounced around outside of her school, looking for him. Yuki had gone off with Machi somewhere, and Haru with Momiji. She looked around and frowned, walking around the gym. Where could he have gone? Suddenly, Tohru remembered that he liked hiding in the highest places possible! She climbed up the ladder of the school building, humming a bit, her backback bumbping against her back as she climbed. Tohru slipped once or twice, then eventually made it to the top. She looked around and went around a building, freezing at the site she saw.
Kyo lay against the gravel top of the building, and a girl was over him, her arms braced on either side of his chest. His hands were on her shoulders, making sure she didn't touch him, well, her body touch him. Tohru watched, her face heating up as she saw them kissing rather passionately. Instantly, she felt her heart breaking into a million pieces. She spun around and ran. Kyo heard and pushed the girl off of him, his eyes widening as he saw her hair go around the corner.
"Kyo, baby, what's wrong?" The girl, a younger Kiari, purred.
"Dammit." Kyo swore.

"You're what!" Kyo burst out, staring at Tohru.
"You heard me, i'm going to America. I have been accepted to a school there already." Tohru said softly, her hands clasped in front of her.
"But, but... You can't!"
"And why not?" She looked up at him, her eyes shining with unshed tears.
"Because--- I... We need you..." Kyo said flatly.
"Who needs me, Kyo? No one does. Uo has Kureno, and Hana has her family. You Sohma's have each other, I have nothing left here. And you have... her..." Tohru replied and turned away, walking upstairs and to her room. Kyo stood there, utterly confused. Why was she suddenly leaving?
"Kyo, you can't change her mind." Shigure said, stepping out from behind a door.
"Why the hell were you listening!"
"The entire planet could hear you, Kyo." He raised a brow at Kyo. "It's her life." Kyo growled at Shigure and stormed outside. It was all his fault.
Present Day
The judge gazed at Kiari Hamina, a brow raised. "Mrs. Hamina, I do not mean to be rude when I ask this, but… Are you on any narcotics by any chance?"
Kyo, Hatsuharu, and Yuki snorted while Kiari's husband fixed them with a dark look.
"No, Your Honor, I am not. But what I am telling you is true!" Kiari yelled, slamming her hands on the table and dropping her son. The child wailed and the judge gazed at Kiari over the rim of his glasses.
"Decision made. Marleo will remain with Miss Honda, while you three are on probation," The judge said, waving his pen at Kyo, Yuki, and Shigure. "Every week my assistant will be checking in on you. Hatori, Ayame, and Haru are on probation too until I can further decide what to do with them." The judge said and stood up, sighing. "We're done here." He said and walked from the room, muttering something about getting old too quickly. Tohru smiled and picked up Marleo, hugging him tightly. They had won. For now.
Dun, dun, dun!
