It was the night of the school dance. I was sitting in one of the chairs at Ayame's shop as Mine did my hair. Curly with a magenta headband to match my gown. My gown was made of silk, with a corset and lots of ribbons. I was so lucky Ayame didn't make me pay for it, I wouldn't have been able to. Mine quickly finished off the last curly, sprayed in a few puffs of hair spray to make them stay and a bit of hair glitter. Momiji was there to see us off to the dance, he was acting as our escort.
" Ahh!" Momiji gasped as I walked through the curtain to the main part of the store. " Tohru! Tohru, you look so pretty!" Momiji cheered.
" Heh." I smiled. " Thanks so much Momiji. And a big thanks to you Ayame and Mine." I smiled, bowing politely.
" It's the best I can do to thank you for everything you've done for me Tohru." Ayame smiled.
" Indeed Tohru. This was our thanks to you." Mine smiled as well.
" Well, you'd better head off now." Ayame sighed. " Such a pretty thing, having to leave my shop!" Ayame swooned. I giggled. " Tohru." He said, taking my hand. " Please let him go nicely." He whispered. " He is my brother after all."
I blushed, not knowing what he meant, well, a part of me did. I smiled. " Of course Ayame. Thank you very much again!" I smiled as I headed off to leave.
" Come on Tohru! Uo-Chan and Hana-Chan are waiting in the car." Momiji husseled. I sped up my steps and got into the car, just like everybody else. The two were in awe.
" Wow Tohru, you look beautiful." Hana-Chan smiled. She was wearing a dress with black silk and lace. She looked so mysterious. Uo-Chan was wearing a light blue dress, very simple, but it seemed to fit her tomboyish ways. She even had on blue sneakers to match. I giggled.
" You two look great as well." I smiled.
" So, what're you gonna do about the prince?" Uo-Chan asked.
" I don't know yet. Kyou isn't going." I sighed.
" I thought you convinced him..." Hana-Chan soothed, patting my back.
" No." I shook my head.
" Don't worry. We'll have fun anyway!" Uo-Chan cheered.
" Indeed." Hana-Chan nodded.
" Thanks you guys, for being there." I smiled.
" No problem." Uo-Chan smiled back.
" No problem at all." Hana-Chan smiled as well.
" We're here!" Momiji yelled cheerfully. He opened the door and held it open for us. We all went inside, eager to see what the hall looked like. It was beautiful. Lots of streamers, tables, lights and music. For some reason, I kept looking for Kyou over the crowds as we all danced.
" Tohru...are you looking for Kyou?" Uo-Chan asked.
" Mmm." I nodded.
" You really like him don't you?" Uo-Chan smiled. I blushed. I heard a slow song come on. I felt a hand touch mine.
" K-K-Yuki?" I covered my mouth. I was about to call him Kyou.
" Would you like to dance?" He smiled.
" Oh, sure." I nodded. Even while dancing with Yuki, I was still looking for Kyou.
" What are you doing Ms. Honda?" He asked.
" Oh, nothing." I said, my attention still looking for him.
" Are you sure? You look awfully silly." He said with a smile.
" Sorry." I nodded, but kept looking anyway.
Wait, I saw him! I turned around, and there was his orange head. My eyes brightened. " Yuki! I'm sorry! I can't go out with you anymore!" I said, letting go of his hands.
" Ms. Honda?" Yuki asked, quite amazed.
" I'm sorry!" I bowed again, then quickly running after Kyou. But I couldn't keep up, too many people in my path. I kept going anyway.
" Kyou!" I yelled. He didn't respond.
" Kyou!" I yelled again, I started to cry.
"Kyou..." I said, realizing he had just left out the backdoor. I kept going anyway. I walked out the backdoor, no Kyou. It was just cold and windy. I sighed. " I missed him again." I sighed, my breath lingering in the air.
I suddenly felt somebody hug me from around my waist, holding me close.
" Tohru." He whispered.
" K-" I started, he interrupted.
" Don't turn around." He whispered again. " I don't want you to see my face, when I tell you everything."
