A/N : I am thinking this first chapter will seem happier and will clear some things up… I guess? Well, I am back in school now… However, I do not think it will hinder me in typing up the Fiction. (Raises hand) that will be me!

"Hmmm…" Tohru sighed as she stretched her arms and removed the blankets covering her from the breezes of the night. With one eye opened and being half-awake, she slowly trudged over to her window to expose the rays of the glistening sun into Tohru's gloomy looking room.
Revealing the traditional 'bright sunny day', she opened the blush pink curtains, with a curl on her lips beginning a smile, to reveal… a murky storm brewing. Her smile dropped.
"Poor Kyo. He will get so tired to day," She sighed, "Well, I should get ready for… school." Briefly, she forgot about everything.
Her graduation from a junior to a senior in High School, Yuki's confession, and what happened over that. Tohru had a wonderful dream that had completely brainwashed her into thinking the exact opposite of her troubles.
Her wonderful dream where everyone had been happy, pure, had no doubts and nobody had the need to lie. She even began thinking that maybe if she wished hard enough that she and everyone she cares for can fly without worries.
She began to yawn and started to tread over to her armoire to pull out her uniform with a large joyous smile, that would freak anyone that looked long enough. Exactly when she reached her destination, her hand reached out…
"Wait….", She started to realize what the truth of life and forgot her dream while retracting her hand to back her side, "That's right! I have no school today. Um, I guess I should get the boys breakfast rea-", She covered her mouth in a gasp, remembering more of what she had almost lost, along with her sanity.
oOo Flashback oOo
Just Another day in Shigure's Sohma house, except a few new updates that a few members of the house are departing, leaving Kyo and Tohru alone for the summer. Everyone is rallied outside for short 'Good byes' to the Madubachi Trio, whom are planning to fly out of the country in a week, and Yuki, whom is forced to spend his summer at the Sohma Estate with Akito.
Hatori stood next to the porch, near Shigure and Ayame, with the same annoyed-look posted on his face when those two were making fools of themselves. They kept making up ideas for why they are leaving for a few days.
One moment Shigure weakly says 'Uh, just because?' the next, Ayame screams out the Shigure is lying and tells them there are going 'To see an old girlfriend!' Shaking his head slightly, Hatori made a move to stop there babbling and get right to the vague point.
"Kyo, Yuki, and Tohru. To put it clearly enough for you to understand…" he glared at Shigure and Ayame, whom both is waving happily, "We are going to the Mainland. Beijing, China to put it to exact. Now the reason is that-"
All of a sudden, he fell over onto the ground, from a hard shove, and there stood Shigure before them with the utmost… fake seriousness. He cleared his throat, stood straight, and tried to keep a firm look.
"The reason of our departure is…" Shigure stepped back to gaze into the house, from an opening of the door, eyeing one of his published books, "We are going to Beijing to go to one of my Book Openings! Now, I expect Kyo and Tohru to behave…", adding an emphases to 'behave'
He then gave them a perverted grin while Tohru stood next to a fuming Kyo baffled to what he might have meant. Kyo huffed and glared at the Dog and approached him, Tohru looked at him wondering if he was going to hiss at Shigure or something a Cat and Dog would do.
"Shigure! Stop saying tha-", Kyo began to scream but was cut off by Shigure clicking his tongue, " Tsk, Tsk, Tsk, Kyo! I expected better from you! Confrontation will do nothing but start more problems."
"Aaaaugh!" Kyo then started to chase him. Tohru stood next to Yuki, confused at the recent situation, and she began to think, 'It certainly is weird that the Cat chases the Dog.'
Ayame gave one last charming grin of the day and Hatori sighed looking at the young teens in particular. "Well, it is best that we leave now, before anything thing gets out of hand… Come, Ayame". Hatori grabbed the back of Ayame's collar and started to drag him.
"Ta ta, Yuki! I wish you good luck at the Sohma estate! Do not let that crazed man, Akito bother you too much!"
oOo End Flashback oOo
'That's right… Yuki and Shigure are out for the whole summer,' she squatted down in front of her armoire and pulled out a lilac blouse, along with a white skirt.
"Oh… I guess it's just Kyo and me…. I-I guess I should be going down, Huh?"
Tohru then went downstairs and decided to make some American pancakes for Kyo and her. She heard they taste good (I know I come out of nowhere but…. WHO LOVES PANCAKES MORE THAN ME! Pancakes rock, man… uh, yea,. Forget me!)
She walked over to the hall next to the kitchen and smelled an aroma of… fish. 'I suppose Kyo is already awake and decide to make something for us! Hmmm… I wonder what,' Tohru pondered, while walking down the stairs.
"Good morning, Kyo! What are you making?" Tohru asked in ever so peppy-way.
"Hey… just making soup."
"Hmmm… with fish? Can I try it?"
"Sure… I guess?"
Kyo then gave her the spoon, he was using to stir the soup, and she took a sip and gasped after putting the swallowing the soup, "Kyo! This is delicious!"
Kyo smiled, a smile just meant for Tohru, "Yea, I guess… Let's eat then." Tohru and Kyo had a very quiet breakfast. They sat across from each other altering their looks to the ground to the other's face on "accident" and blushing, as they always do.
Although, Tohru was very troubled with what is happening with Yuki and what to do with it, she easily kept it in when she was with Kyo. She did not want Kyo to worry. No, of course not.
OoooOOooOOooOOoo…
After they finished eating breakfast, the clouds had seemed to clear up, Tohru noticed. She smiled, at least this means good luck for Kyo.
Soon afterwards, they had both decided to wash the dishes. Certainly not many dishes to wash and clean but they expanded the normal time limit of washing less than five dinner plates, considering the food platters.
They played with the water and soap bubbles, in the first 10 minutes. Of course Tohru started it, Tohru wanted to break the silence and have some laughs with Kyo.
"Tohru! You don't get a bowl of water and splash it on people's faces!" Kyo laughed, a bit, and tried to dry his wet, soggy, lushes hair.
She playfully smiled, "I'm sorry, Kyo, but it was still fun, right!"
Tohru had become caught up with all the bubbles, water, giggles, laughs, and decided to get Kyo wet… He was not angry. He first chuckled, then just bopped Tohru on the head, while laughing his head off.
After having a few more laughs with Kyo, earlier, she decided to dry his clothes and do the laundry. Kyo went upstairs off to the roof… he seemed a little troubled, 'I hope he's okay….', Tohru thought, looking off to the sky.
