Tohru p.o.v
"I wonder, what makes the sky change colors? What makes the leaves die? What makes such power of running water freeze in an instant? I wonder, what if scientific theories aren't exactly all there is to the world? What if it's magical? What if things just happen with no explanation? Would people understand more things? Would they understand the Souma's curse? Curse? I wouldn't call it a curse. I would call it a gift. To be able to change so freely like that. I wonder what it would be like. Maybe it is a curse. Hatori thinks it is. He fell in love once. I have heard his stories so many times. He tells it so often, maybe to try to remove it from his memory. I can tell he misses her. I heard him cry out in his sleep for her once. They can't love anyone without Akito's consent. I wonder, why won't Akito let them love? Was he hurt? Can he not handle love? I cannot let Kyou, Yuki, Shigure or anyone know I think these thoughts, or that I am troubled by them. They know me as 'always smiling Tohru'. And I will always be that to them."
"Kyou! Breakfast!" I called to the un-wakened member of the Souma house.
"No need to yell, Tohru. I will get him." The grayish-purple haired boy stood up and left the room. Yuki Souma. He's known as the "prince" of our school. Him and Kyou never have gotten along. I smiled and nodded as I went back to setting the table for breakfast. My school uniform flowed swiftly with the movement of my body, often getting in my way. When I came out of the kitchen with the rice, Shigure was hovering over the food, mouth drooling. I gently laughed.
"I bet you're hungry! You didn't come to dinner last night!" I scolded. He knew I was joking because he sat back down laughing.
"He's coming." A boyish voice said. The sound made me jump. "Y-Yuki, I didn't hear you come down the stairs!" He didn't even look up at me. He just swiftly walked over to his seat and gracefully placed himself down, with his hands in his lap. I set everything on the table when I heard heavy 'thunks' on the stairs. "That must be Kyou." I said to myself. I walked over to greet him at the door.
"Kyou! Good Morning!" I chipped and he looked at me in surprise then smiled. He looked troubled, but he didn't show it. He gently messed up my hair and I giggled. We both sat down at the table and began eating. It was the usual Shigure taunts Kyou, Kyou yells, and I sit there quietly. Yuki never said a word. He hasn't seemed like himself lately.
"Yuki? Is something wrong?" I asked him shyly. His head shot up like a bullet, his purple eyes were shadowed over with something, I couldn't tell what. He smiled, not his usual smile but a very weak one.
"No, nothing's wrong, everything's fine." He said slowly, his pink lips only moving slightly. I had no choice but to smile back at him. I didn't want to pry. We finished our breakfast and headed out the door to school. It was autumn and the leaves where starting to fall. I stood in the middle of the road twirling, my long brown hair wrapping around me, hugging my curves. Leaves fell all around me and the sky was such a beautiful blue color. It made all of my worries go away. I just kept twirling until I slipped and started to fall.
"Tohru!" both Kyou and Yuki called! Before I hit the ground, something caught me. I cringed waiting for smoke to surrond me and for a little animal to be waiting at my side, but nothing happened. I slowly opened my eyes to see a girl instead. I shrieked and quickly crawled away to Kyou and Yuki who bent down and helped me up. I looked over after questionings of "Are you fine?" and "Are you hurt?" and there was absolutely no sign of that girl. She had disappeared. I quickly looked around searching for her but she was gone. Yuki and Kyou were just as surprised as I was. Yuki was the first to snap out of it.
"We're going to be late if we don't hurry." He said. I nodded and trotted on behind them. I was actually quite happy that they didn't catch me. Turning into their animal forms would not please them very much. Especially Kyou. He'd probably run off somewhere and skip school. As we approached the school, Yuki went a separate way then us. I was about to question him when Kyou grabbed my arm. I looked up at him in surprise and he slowly shook his head. I looked over at Yuki walking away then to Kyou's stern eyes again and continued walking to my homeroom. I met Uo-chan and Hana-chan and we talked for a while before we had to sit down. Our sensei walked in and placed his books on the table.
"Before we start homeroom," he said calmly, "we have a new student. Please, be polite and introduce yourself to her sometime during the day."
The door slowly opened and a beautiful girl walked in. She stood in front of the class with her long black hair and stunning blue eyes.
"My name is Miho Amawa. Nice to met all of you." Then, she smiled. Such a wonderful smile! He rosy lips matched perfectly with her alabaster colored skin! How beautiful she was! As everyone chipped in their "hello" I just stared.
"Honda Tohru?" a male's voice called. I finally shook out of it "Y-Yes?" I stuttered. "Miho, will you please sit behind Tohru?" he said. I blushed as the girl nodded and swiftly walked down the aisle towards me. She smiled again as she passed me and gracefully placed herself in the desk behind me.
"Tohru!" Uo-chan said, "What's wrong?! You're beat red!" I blushed even harder at this and buried my face in my arms to hide it. I finally calmed down when the sensei began homeroom. Miho looked so familiar. I had no idea from where. But I could always feel her watching my back. It was creepy. I couldn't get her out of my head all day.
