Manachans: Whew! All this writing is really tiring me out!

Kyo: -sarcastically- Suuuure it is… you are much too busy!

Manachans: -agreeing- Yup! It takes a lot to write these things and I haven't had much time lately!

Yuki: Sarcasm is a foreign language to you isn't it?

Manachans: Sarcasm?

Kyo: Ugh… you are pathetic.

Manachans: What?

-Enter- Tohru: What's up?

Kyo: -blush- uhm… uh…

Manachans: Thank you Tohru! Now onto the story!

Chapter 3:

Preparations

The next morning, Yuki and Kyo had a rude awakening by an over-enthusiastic Shigure. Poor Shigure had the crap beat out of him, but was cheered up by Tohru's smiling face. Kyo and Yuki would have also been cheered if they weren't asleep on their feet.

"Damn Shigure. Who does he think he is, waking us up this early?" muttered a tired and grumpy Kyo.

"Well, at least you're not alone." Tohru implored, trying to cheer the grumpy cat up. "Yuki is also very tired. Isn't that right Yuki? ...Yuki? …Oh no!" Yuki had fallen asleep at the table and apparently was face down in his breakfast.

"Bwahahahahahaaa!" Kyo burst out laughing, "Stupid rat! Can't even keep his eyes open through breakfast! What a wi…" Kyo was suddenly kicked out the kitchen door by Yuki's foot.

"Oh! Yuki-sa… uh…" Tohru stammered, "I… Kyo…" Yuki started to fall forward. "Uh… Yuki?" Faster he fell, until falling against Tohru and 'POOF!' He changed into a rat, still sleeping of course.

"Yuki! How inconsiderate of you!" Shigure reprimanded slowly coming into the room. "How could you impose on Miss Honda like this? How rude of you!"

"I'm just not a morning person." Yuki mumbled before changing right back to his human form.

"EEEK!"

"Oh, sorry Miss Honda."

"Damn rat," Kyo mumbled entering the room and nursing several bruises.

"Now, now, children," Said Shigure in that annoying sing-song voice of his, "we must get you to the school to set up!"

"But, Shigure," Tohru said softly, "we have finals and the graduation ceremony to plan. We can still set up the 'Graduation Party' (AKA: end of the year school dance) after school, but you will have to be patient Shigure."

Kyo was happy that Tohru was happy even in his tired state of mind. His thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the phrase 2 days left. His mind was filled with thoughts of leaving Tohru. He knew then, he would have to tell her. In a sudden rage he shouted, "I HATE THIS!" and stormed out.

Tohru was stunned, Yuki was awakened, and Shigure was inspired. He had just realized why Kyo was so moody all of a sudden. 'I care for Tohru also, but not as much as you do Kyo!' He giggled to himself, 'Oh! That's right!' He remembered with a grim certainty. Wouldn't Akito come to collect him soon? 'You better hurry Kyo, make your move soon. But…' Shigure giggled again, 'I love how this is going! I'll have to put this in my new novel!'

"Bye Shigure! See you after school!" Tohru called cheerfully from outside.

"Farewell Tohru! Bye Yuki!" Shigure called back. "Now, time to write more for my new novel!"

On the way to school, Yuki and Tohru Talked about how relieved they were that finals were over and how good a score they had gotten. Then they discussed topics about the dance as in what snacks to have, what decorations, music, ect. Somehow or another they got to the topic of 'who are you gonna invite to the dance?'

"Well," Yuki began, "There's this one girl…"

"Oh! What's she like? Who is it?" Tohru flooded Yuki with questions. "Did you ask her yet? Can I meet her? Oh, I'm so happy for you!"

Yuki, slightly startled, smiled and said, "Well she's nice, you probably already know her, I can't really tell you who it is, and no I didn't ask her yet. I'm just happy you aren't upset."

"Why would I be upset about you liking this girl?" Tohru asked, "I'm just happy that you are happy!" She smiled. "I want you to be happy." (She was just a little disappointed that she didn't know who the girl was.)

"Miss Honda I still feel bad that no one has asked you yet."

"Oh. Don't worry about me," She saw the worried look on his face, "eh… if… if it will make you feel better, uhm… would you escort me to the dance then? I… I don't want to be of any trouble but, if it will make you feel better…"

Yuki smiled, "Thank you Miss Honda, I appreciate your offer. I'll escort you."

They were almost at school when they met up with Kyo, Uo, and Hana. Kyo and Uo were fighting of course. As they went up to class, about a thousand fan girls swarmed over Kyo and Yuki, all of them asking them to the dance. Of course Yuki was used to all this attention, but Kyo "Exploded on Impact".

THE FOLLOWING HAS BEEN EDITED FROM ITS ORIGINAL FORM AS TO FIT THE STANDARDS OF 'T' RATING. (Yes, it was much worse in its original form…)

"WHAT THE HELL IS WRRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?" Kyo shouted, "I'M NOT GOING TO THIS STUPID DANCE!" The stunned silence around him caused him to shudder. Turning to Tohru he sees a picture of total surprise, astonishment, and sadness. Needless to say his heart broke at the sight of her face. "Tohru I…" Suddenly the bell rang and class had begun. Before he could say another word, Kyo was whisked away by the crowd as they rushed to their rooms.

Sorry bout the cliffy, I had to stop the story before it got too long. I wanted to continue it, but it couldn't fit in the standards. Look for the second part a little later. Oh! And thanks to all who read and review this! ARIGATO MANS:3

Ahem:
