Days have passed since the big Sohma celebration, and Kyou and Tohru are officially together, since they're both normal humans.
"Kyou-kun! I've brought you something!" Tohru shouted as she returned from the market.
"Did you?" Kyou asked, a hint of curiosity in his voice.
"Uh huh," Tohru giggled, leaning in for a kiss. "But you just might have to wait until tomorrow!" She giggled again, teasing Kyou.
"Hmph. Whatever you say." Kyou said in the irritated tone he used to always use the first time he met Tohru.
"Now, now. . .Curiosity killed the cat, you know?" Tohru laughed at her joke.
"Heh. Glad to see you're laughin' 'cause I ain't." Kyou said, glaring at Tohru.
Tohru was confused. Why was Kyou so aggrivated all of a sudden? Was Tohru the fault? Why was he being so rude to Tohru? Why the quick change of heart? All these questiones swam in Tohru's mind.
"Kyou-kun. . ." Tohru said, reaching for Kyou's hand.
"Don't touch me!" Kyou roared, pushing Tohru to where she fell onto the ground.
"Omph! Kyou-kun. . .What's wrong? Why are you acting like this?" Tohru asked, a single tear rolling down her cheek. "You haven't acted like this in a long time. . ." Her eyes locked with Kyou's slightly-red ones.
"Why do you think, you stupid girl? Haven't you learned anything about me? There's a huge storm. I get annoyed, okay?" Kyou bellowed loudly, making Tohru cringe and start crying harder. She hated Kyou being like this. This must be one extreme storm that's approaching.
"Stop crying. I'm sorry, okay? I didn't mean to push you down, just to push you away. C'mon, Tohru. Get up." Kyou said, obviously trying hard not to snap, he held his hand down for Tohru to take, and Tohru being Tohru, took it politely, wiping her tears with her sleeve.
"S-sorry, Kyou-kun. . .I forgot. . .Is it a bad storm coming?" Tohru asked.
"S'posed to be a terrible Tsunami. We have to go to higher grounds before seven." Kyou replied.
Tohru gasped. "A Tsunami? Why aren't you panicked? We could die, and you are so calm!"
"I don't know. Don't worry, we need all our special belongings before six thirty, so we have time to move away from this place. Perhaps we'll go to the States." Kyou replied, hugging Tohru close. Tohru was relieved she had the old, yet new, Kyou back again.
"Now we have to get ready if we want to catch any planes to the States." Kyou said, pushing Tohru towards the stairs.
"Kay. But. . .What about the other Sohmas?" Tohru asked, concern taking over the loving expression she had in her eyes.
"They all moved, too." Kyou replied. "Let's get going now."
Tohru nodded, obeying. She walked upstairs and started gathering her most prized possessions. She took a box out of the attic and started going through it. She found the dusty framed picture of her mother. Tohru held it close to her chest as she flashed back to all her childhood memories that included her mother. She smiled as she reminisced. Kyou interrupted her thoughts.
"You ready?" Kyou asked simply.
"Almost! Let me gather these boxes. We'll look through them when we get to the States." Tohru replied, placing her mother's picture into the box, then taking about three boxes at a time down to the cars.
