Be My Valentine
Chapter One
A gray metal locker shut in the middle of the empty hallway of the local high school. One girl of about 16 peered into her locker to get her books. Tohru Honda searched through the pile of books in her locker in searching for the right one. She clumsily dropped one of her books from off the shelf. She heaved a sigh and reached down for it.
"Silly me," she said bringing the book back into her locker.
"Here we go," she said reaching for the one book in the back of her locker. She tugged on it gently trying to loosen it from its death grip in the locker. The book wouldn't seem to budge. She tried to tug it harder than harder until she tripped and fell back into an unsuspecting person.
"Oi," said the boy as Tohru fell back against the chest of the person. A poof of smoke was then followed by a loud groan.
"Oh my goodness!" said the girl rushing behind her to look at who she had bumped into.
"Kyo!" she said looking at the angered orange cat, which was standing four pawed on the floor beneath her. His fur stood on end as he let out an angered groan, "I'm so sorry!" she said picking him up the angered cat abruptly.
"What the hell was that for!" he yelled at the figure who had nervously dropped him to the ground. Her books were scattered to the floor around her locker area as the cat continued in his fury.
"I was I was," she said looking around nervously to see if anyone saw the talking orange cat. "Oh no someone's coming!" she said picking up the furious cat again and desperately looking where to put him. "The locker!" she said eyeing the opened metal box. "The Locker!" said Kyo yelling as the poor girl who shoved him into his hiding space and slammed the door swiftly as the person approached her. He continued to yell and scream as the darkness covered the tiny space that was cramped with books and notes.
The boy with the violet eyes and silver hair approached the girl who was clumsily trying to pick up the books that had fallen out of the locker. "Miss Honda," said the boy extending his hand to the poor girl who looked flustered.
"Oh Sohma-kun! It's you!" she said giving him a smile, "For a second there I thought it was someone else!" she said laughing.
"Yes I am just on my way out from the student council meeting would you like me to walk you home?" he said smiling back at towards the girl, "Oh and where's the baka neko? Did he get himself in trouble again?" said the boy casually leaning against the locker. Tohru just let out a nervous laugh and turned around behind herself to the locker.
"Hey is someone gonna let me out of here?" said an angry voice coming from the locker behind them. Startled Yuki peaked inside the locker and there found an even angrier cat with his hair standing on end.
"So that's where the baka neko went," said Yuki slowly, "Did you get your head stuck in a mousetrap again?" he said slamming the locker into the poor neko's face
"Kuso Nezumi let me out of here!" came a voice yelling from the locker.
"No Miss Honda let that baka wallow in his stupidity for even going in there," said Yuki looking out the window at the mid-day sky that was an orangey red.
"Coming!" said Tohru furiously trying to get the combination to work. Opening it quickly the Kyo in cat form leaped (okay he fell) from the locker into Tohru's grasp. "Kyo are you okay? I am so sorry. Kyo it'll never happen again! Kyo?" said Tohru looking at the dazed cat that had now passed out from the lack of air, "Kyo?" she said nudging the cat, "Kyo! Wake up!" she said panicked.
The cat stirred from the noise the girl had been making. In a swallowing poof the poor boy no longer remained a cat. A loud scream pierced through the hallway as the embarrassed Tohru turned towards the window with Yuki to face away from the now nude boy.
The three walked home in silence towards the wooden home that now greeted them "Baka neko! "said Yuki under his breath, "What if someone would have saw?"
"So what nothing happened!" he said angrily towards the rat.
"You wanna make something happen?" he said stopping and switching into his fighting stance.
"Kyo-kun!" said a voice from behind him. He turned around to face the girl who looked down towards the ground with a deep blush on her face, "I'm sorry about today," she said meekly.
"No I'm the one who should be sorry. Me and my big mouth," he said brushing a hand through his hair.
"Yes you and your big stupid baka mouth," said a voice muttering behind him. Then the two boys started at it again with the fighting all the way home towards Shigure's house.
Tohru headed up the wooden stairs to her room that lay at the end of the hallway. She dragged her bag upstairs along with all her books. She gave a laugh and thought back to the day's events. Poor Kyo for being trapped in her cold damp locker. Yuki and him quarreling over the silliest things. At times it was amusing and others it was bothersome, but still she liked them both no matter what
Her life had been so busy this past month. Well actually not just her all the Sohma's had been busy with one thing or another. She, Yuki, and Kyo were taking on the task of the school's annual art festival. Also Haru and Momiji had decided to help with the preparations for the school's play for the freshman. The preparations were going well. The good thing about it was that it fell on the day of Valentine's Day.
She heaved a sigh and continued to jot down the answers for her math homework. She couldn't concentrate at all though. Daydreaming took over. It was always tradition that the school's art festival was held on that day. The school also held a tradition that coincided with the day. When a boy gave the girl a flower under the school's cherry tree at the festival then those two would love each other and stay together for all eternity.
She looked out towards the window at that thought and whispered to herself, "I wish that would happen to me. That the boy that I loved would propose to me under the tree," she said dreamily. How romantic she thought as she dropped her book off the desk. It landed with a hard thud on the floor. Then a little piece of folded paper dropped from the book.
She looked at it curiously and opened up the neatly folded paper.
The note read:
Roses are Red Violets
Violets are Blue,
Your lips are sweet,
And so are your words too,
I've seen you for so long,
You're green eyes as true as the sea,
You're smile lights the night sky with its heated warmth,
Please tell me you'll be mine.
You're Secret Admirer
