Chapter One: Sign Ups!

During School Hours:

"It's that time again class!" the teacher happily exclaimed to the nearly sleeping class. It was another beautiful day stuck in homeroom 1D listening to the teacher crazy talk. Nevertheless, today was more on the edge for the others because the teacher had an announcement to make to her willing-to-die-to-leave class.

"Every year, one Homeroom is picked to perform a famous play for the entire school! And guest who's turn is it this year...hmmmm anyone" the teacher nearly jumped out of her cloths with happiness. However hers students didn't seem to have so much life in them at this point of time. They either stared up in space or like Tohru listen quietly.

Tohru sighed gently as she listens quietly to the teacher. She was somewhat interested in the fact that they are going to have a play. I can picture it now.. And she did:

She daydreamed that she was wearing a long white beautiful dress as she stand in the middle of the dance floor. Masked figures of other couples danced around her to an unheard melody. Tohru looked to the large ceiling that was filled with nothing of stars. The stars gleamed in delight as they seem to form into a heart. A smiled appeared on Tohru's face as she twirled around slowly to the unheard melody. Then after a while of twirling she stops and looked back to the masked figures. To Tohru surprise one of them was standing in front of her...A boy. The boy wore an all black suit with a menacing look kitsune masked. The boy extended one of his hands out to Tohru slowly. Tohru smiled happily and accepted his hand to dance.

Tohru and the masked boy twirled around the middle of the other masked figures. However it seems like they were in their own little world as a bright spotlight shine on them. It was a magical feeling for Tohru as her thoughts was lifted always with each twirled. Tohru felt like see was floating in the air however she didn't seem to want to land. She leaned in closer into the masked boy. Then all of a sudden the music stopped, Tohru and the masked boy stopped twirling. They parted slowly way but was still close together to touch. Tohru looked longingly into the masked figure kitsune face. A frowned appeared on Tohru face slowly.

"Why did you stop" she pulled closer to the masked boy. She wanted to know why he stopped the happiness she felt.

"I wanted to tell you...that you may not day dream in my class Ms. Honda" the voice of the homeroom teacher filled Tohru head. She nearly jumped out of her seat as she returned back the real world. Tohru blinked randomly as she looks around slowly. Everyone was staring at her even Kyo and Yuki. 'Oh no! They saw me day dreaming.I wonder what they are thinking about me now!' said Tohru to herself as she nervously looks at them.

"As I was saying to everyone in this world" Tohru blushed and looked down quietly to her desk. ", the play sign ups will be today! And everyone has to sign up no 'ifs' or 'buts'". Nearly half of the class sighed in boredom.

"Bull!" Kyo holler on top of his voice. The class looked at him like he was an idiot. However Kyo didn't care much, he was going to fight for what he thought was right. The right to declined to be part of a sassy girl play. "I don't want to be in no stinking play, stupid hag"

A few desks in front of Kyo, Yuki sat quietly with his eyes close. He sighed angrily and said to his self 'Baka Neko'.

Back in the front room the teacher look was unfazed from Kyo comment. No one, she mean No One was going to ruin her day.

"If I may finish, this play will be a major piece of your grades. And if you are one of those kids who think they are too cool to be in tights" she looked carefully at Kyo, who look away with anger, "then that person will fail the term!"

Kyo folded his arms over his chest angrily. He couldn't run away from this and he knew it. It would make him fail the term and maybe the whole school year! And he didn't want that to happen. 'Damn, I have no choice! I have to do the sappy play!' he growled to his self quietly as he stared out of the nearest window.

"The sign up sheet will be hanged up outside of the classroom. Audition will be in the next two days after school. That means Three o'clock on the dot! DON'T BE LATE!" she said in high spirits. The class sighed again out of with little boredom; they knew what's going to happen next! And in 3..2..1 the heavenly sounds of the bell filled the dead school. The students seem as if they were awaking from a magical spell of death as of class started to leave the class. It was time for the sign- ups...

Later That Day:

"I CAN'T BELIVE I SIGNED UP FOR THAT STUPID PLAY!" Kyo shouted as he enters..no more like stampede his way into Shigure's house. He passed Shigure who sat at the table looking at Kyo with his always calm smile. He didn't seem to care much what Kyo said, he didn't really much care for anything at the moment of time.

"I'M GOING TO THE ROOF!" he stated angrily as he stormed up the stairs. Nevertheless Shigure's smiled remained on his face as he watched Kyo vanish upstairs. 'What an idiot' Shigure said happily to himself.

Yuki soon after enter at a slower pace then Kyo. Instead of storming up the stairs like the Baka Neko, Yuki walked slowly over to the table where Shigure sat. He soon sat down and faces Shigure who still had that dumb smile on his face.

"I'm not going to ask" Yuki angrily said to Shigure. He knew Shigure was thinking of something naughty because he hadn't responded to Kyo anger.

"Oh..Nothing!" his smiled wider with his response. Obviously, Shigure had something on his mind and wasn't going to tell Yuki. Shigure smiled widen even more as he became very nervous.

"So what happen in school today?" Shigure said nervously trying change the subject. Yuki notice the nervous tone of voice, however he really didn't want to know what Shigure was thinking. Even if it was bad or good he really didn't want to know.

"Today we had the sign ups for a play that we recently learned about" Yuki sighed slowly.

"A play" Shigure almost shouted with excitement. ", You mean you are performing a PLAY! With lights, customs, a leading lady and other less important things!" Shigure smiled happily like a little child in a candy store. He nearly hugged Yuki with excitement; however he decided not to because Yuki give him an if-you-touch-me-I-will-kill-you look.

"I'm going to pick up Miss. Tohru now" he said calmly as he could. Yuki stood up slowly and walk slowly out of the house with his hands in his pockets. When Yuki left Shigure was still in his own world.

Walking Home:

"Do you think Kyo is still mad?" Tohru said sadly to Yuki as they walked side to side down the almost dark streets. With a smug look on her face she said quietly "You know.. for pushing him out of the way at sign ups".

Yuki looked at Tohru for a while with little surprise from the comment. 'Baka Neko, making Miss Tohru worry' he said angrily to himself as his search for a right answer in his head.

"Don't worry about Miss Tohru. Kyo always act that way when he is angry. You shouldn't worry about him his head is very head strong!" reassured Yuki. However Tohru didn't seem so reassured from what Yuki said. Something inside her made her feel differently about Yuki words.

~~~

For the rest of the walk home Tohru and Yuki walked in silence. The silence broke when they walked to the back door of Shigure's house. Yuki walked up to the sliding door and opened up for Tohru to walk in. Tohru smiled happily as she walked in before him. And then:

"Here is the princess now! How was work, princess!?" an annoying voice said as Tohru enter with a nervous smiled. Yuki just stood in the door way with a shock look on his face; he couldn't believe he is here.

"W-why is he here" Yuki pointed at...
