LIVING ON THE INSIDE

CHAPTER 1: THE LOCK UP

Hello everyone! Konnichiwa! This is my very first fanfic so… please don't hurt me! If I make a mistake, or the characters are out of character, please tell me. Well let's get on with the story.

---Chapter 1: The Lock Up—

'Why? Why can't I get you out of my mind? Tohru, Tohru, I LOVE YOU! Why couldn't I say it!' Kyo sitting at a kotatsu, starring at the wall, thinking about what he couldn't say in time.

A little recap, Kyo has now graduated from high school. And we all know that when Kyo graduates from high school, his dad and Akito are going to lock him up.

---Start flash back---

It was a cloudy, gloomy day. The graduation just ended and everybody was getting refreshments. Kyo was standing with Tohru and trying to get out what he has been trying to say to her for so long. 'I love you, I love you, I love you! Why can't I just say it?' but whenever Kyo opened his mouth, nothing came out. "I can't believe what a gloomy day it is. But what a good turn out!" Tohru, trying to lighten up the mood, said. Then, out of nowhere, Kureno came up to Kyo. "Hello Kureno!" Tohru said. "Hello Tohru." answers Kureno. "Kyo, Akito is ready to go. You should say your good byes. We will be waiting for you in front of the school." Kyo nods his recognition, not trusting his mouth at a time like this. "Should I save some dinner for you?" Tohru, who has no clue what is going on, asks. "No" says Kyo. Who, on the other hand, does know what is happening. 'I will miss you a lot Tohru. The only regrets I have, is that I didn't tell you how I felt towards you. And that I didn't beat that dame Yuki!"

---End flash back---

Tohru was sitting in her bed. 'What is this felling? This felling of loneliness? It all started when I realized Kyo had left. Does this mean that my feelings for Kyo have grown stronger?'

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK!

"Tohru, can I come in?" Yuki asks her, opening her door just a tad. "Y-Yes! Please come in Yuki." Tohru, who had just been rudely awakened from her thoughts, answers. Yuki walks in and sits at the foot of Tohru's bed.

"I have noticed that you have been kind of down for the past week. Ever since you found out that Kyo would not be coming back. Is there a problem?" Yuki asks, truly wanting to know.

"Eh? Oh, no Yuki I'm fine."

"Tohru, if you need to talk I am always here. Shigure too. But I would not advise you talking to that perverted dog. No telling what he might say, or do." Yuki thinks hard on this, until Tohru speaks.

"No Yuki, I'm fine. Just kind of shocked that we graduated only a week ago." Says a lying Tohru.

"Yes, I am shocked and happy also."

"Tohru, my little flower, is dinner ready yet?" calls a hungry Shigure.

"No, not yet! Only a couple more minutes!" responds Tohru.

"Tohru, remember what I said." Says Yuki, getting up from Tohru's bed and walking out the door.

Kyo is still sitting and staring blankly at the wall. Until Akito comes in and sits in front of him.

"Are you alright? Akito asks with sneer in his voice. "You're not thinking of a way to get out are you? To go see your precious Tohru?"

Kyo is taken by surprise to hear Akito say that he knows how Kyo feels about Tohru. He jumps a little bit.

"Yes," snickers Akito, "I know you love Tohru."

---End of chappy 1---

Well what did you think of the first chapter? Sorry that it was so short, I didn't really have a lot of time. I will not even begin to think about the next chapter until I get 5 reviews! And I mean it! Oh, and for those who don't already know, I have only read to book #10, so if there is something that has occurred or whatever in a later book, I don't know about it. So please R&R! Bye!
