Chapter One

"This is going to be great!" Tohru giggled. She and her two best friends, Uo and Hana, have decided to go shopping one Saturday afternoon, "I haven't gone shopping for a long time!"

They walked around Shibuya for the past half an hour.

"Yes, this is a wonderful day to spend some quality time together..." Hana said softly.

"Yup, this is the best! To be with my two favorite girls in the world! Uo grinned, "Let's shop ladies!"

It was the first day of there summer vacation and the girls didn't have to work.

"Oh, look at that store! They have some new out fits that I would like to try on!" Uo suddenly point a finger on a store that happens to be boyish, "I have to check it out!"

"I'll come with you..." Hana decided.

"Ok!" Uo turned to looked at Tohru, "How about you Tohru?

"I'll go check the store next door! I'll be right there when you need me!" Tohru smiled and waved at her friends.

Tohru have stepped inside a store with a lot of different designed cloths. Wondering around, she found a light pink summer dress with cherry blossom imprints. It was a v-neck design, 2 thin straps and the length is 3 inches above the knee.

"This dress is beautiful..." Tohru breathed out, "This must be expensive..."

She looked at the price tag when her eyes widen open. It was on sale of $15 [...sorry... no clue on yen prices...] Tohru took the dress and wandered off to the shoes section and found a perfect matching sandals for her new dress.

'I wonder if he would like this...' Tohru thought, 'Maybe I should look for another...'

Tohru have wondered some more that on sale and found three different out fits and matching shoes for them. 45 minutes later, Hana and Uo have come bring 2 bags on each arm.

"They were on sales and I got to get them!" Uo laughed.

"The dresses you picked out are perfect Tohru..." Hana smiled.

"Oh, thank you!" Tohru smiled, "Let's go to another store! I have $450 left and I want to go shopping!"

The girls have spent the whole day shopping. When it was time to go home, Tohru and company said their good byes. Tohru walked along the familiar path of the woods, her smile remain attached to her face while she walked along. Five shopping bags on each arm, she was in heaven.

"And I have exactly $250 left!" Tohru stopped walking and looked around. There was no one there, her smile widen.

Tohru closed her eyes and then opened them. When she started walking, she began to sing.

From the night we remember
At the hour of love
We stayed holding hands
All through the winter carnival
The distance shadow lures behind us like a hawk
Waiting for the time to strike us apart

I hear your voice in my dream
Calling my name
Soft as a golden bell
I hold my wings
Hiding my face
You created the moment that takes me away

[Chorus]
Whisper my name in the moonlight
Dream of me as an angel from heaven
Take me away from my worries and nightmares
And I'll give you the love that you desire for eternity

Hold me
Kiss me
Everything that any lovers do
Glowing in the night like the only sun
Please baby
I longed for you

I quiver when you're not around on a chilly day
I cry when your distance away
My heart is breaking
Please baby be with me

[Chorus]

Ooh love is something special
That we can never live without
Baby I'm here for you
I'm waiting
I'll forever wait for you

Hold me like you always do
Take me away from this reality
And take me to a place that it's just you and me
It will be fantasy
Dreams come true

Tohru smiled and then looked around, scanning the area as she walks her way home.

"Good, no one heard me" she sighed, "that would have been embarrassing!" As she approached the house, she smiled.

"My home sweet home..." Tohru said softly.

Not far from her. A shadow hide it self from the view.

"That was a very touching song... Very beautiful..." He said softly before moving away from his hiding place.

Yuki smiled tenderly as he watched the girl that he loves entered the house.
