[Tohru]

"...One day...some boys were chasing me and I was really scared...

"...I kept running away and got lost...

"...A boy appeared and was wearing that hat...

"...He then led me home with me chasing after him...

"...In a way, that boy was my first love..."

"...He was the one protect me from them...

"...I was confused, lonely...

"...I cried and cried and cried...

"...He was there...to protect me...to love me..."

"Good morning Kyo-kun!" Tohru said smiling brightly as Kyo walked down the stairs.

"Good morning," Kyo answered coolly as he stepped straight to the refrigerator for milk.

(He is a cat you know =P)

"Breakfast is ready Kyo-kun, would you be so kind to go upstairs to wake up Sohma-kun and Shigure-san?" Tohru asked, smiling again.

"Why... Why me!?! Can't you go!?!" Kyo yelled blushing slightly at seeing Tohru smile. (Don't get me wrong Yuki fans! This story is not about Kyo and Tohru... Well it is kinda but...forget it!)

"Sorry Kyo-kun! I don't mean to get you mad, please forgive me," Tohru said apologetically, bowing down as low as she could, her eyes filled with tears.

Kyo started to panic. He doesn't want to do anything...ANYTHING to get HER upset, but this was just how he was.

While he tried to look for words to comfort her, he felt a blow hit him on the neck.

"Sohma-kun? Good morning! I didn't see you earlier." Tohru immediately ceased her crying and grinned sweetly up at Yuki.

"Good morning Honda-san," Yuki said smiling charmingly but with laxity. "Did that stupid cat did something bad to you? I can help you fix him. After all, I am completely awake and am in a rather belligerent mode."

Before Tohru could utter a word, Kyo let out a surly scream. "SHUT UP YOU

DAMN RAT! BRING IT ON!"

All Tohru could do then was just watch and pray that none of them would get hurt. When Shigure walked down from his room, the fight had already stopped. As usual, Yuki won.

(Hey, don't look at me! Ask Natsuki Takaya!)

"One of these days I am going to kick that damn rat's ass to Hell," Kyo mumbled to himself.

You know, just your average morning in the Sohma household. Nothing special.

After breakfast, the three of them (being Yuki, Kyo and Tohru, of course) walked to school, Tohru in the middle as always.

"Sohma-kun, Kyo-kun, what would you guys like for dinner tonight?" Tohru asked cheerfully with a huge smile, although she already knew what kind of answers she would get.

Both Kyo and Yuki couldn't have spoken a word; their hearts were pounding so fast that they thought it would pop out any second.

"Whatever you make Honda-san, I would love it," Yuki replied with a smile, a light but obvious blush revealing itself underneath his pale skin.

"Anything without leeks would be fine," Kyo responded in his usual indifferent tone, turning his head slightly in order to avoid gaining eye contact with Tohru.

"I...I was thinking about sushi... (My favorite!!! Yumm...sushi....) But I am not sure if Sohma-kun and Kyo-kun would like it," Tohru said shyly. (She is so innocent and cute~ Hey... Don't get me wrong!)

"Sure! I would love it immensely." Yuki smiled, not at the thought of having sushi for dinner, but at Tohru's shyness AND daintiness.

"Yeah, yeah whatever..." Kyo walked faster as his cheeks tinged with red.

The conversation ended when they reached the school gate. Tohru ran toward her two best friends and waved good-bye to Kyo and Yuki, who began to separate when Tohru was out of sight.

(I know they are in the same class but well...you know that Tohru has two good friends and Kyo and Yuki don't like each other right?)

Daydreaming... Both of them were daydreaming again. They have always been daydreaming (mostly about Tohru) since the day that they had seized her from her grandfather's house. (Not exactly seize but...heh) They thought about how fantastic she was, how beautiful she was when she smiled, how she always seemed to comfort them with the right words... Always, always, the

thought made them blush deeply. At times a perverted thought would worm its way in, an image of how smooth her skin was, how lovely her lips would feel like, and how it would feel to have--

They always stopped the dirty trail of thoughts before they got too far, then blamed everything on the Inu. One thing they were still upset about was...well, Tohru's first love. They wished that were they of course, but when both of them recalled that story, it seemed...familiar...but how?

They didn't know, but it was more than just /familiar.../
