Kori was up on the roof at night, staring up at the stars. She had the hardest look on her face, like she was concentrating on something. She usually didn't feel that calm around people like that, but she just knew something was different.

See, Kori's mother was in the Sohma family, but she wasn't blood related. Yet still, the curse went with her mother. Her father was of the Uchiha clan. So she was basically rich, talented, and cursed all at the same time. She never would have guessed that they were the Sohma family.

Kori had seen Kyo at school a lot, so she knew how he acted. He had also noticed her. And from his opinion, she was the most beautiful girl that he had ever seen.

Kyo loved the way her hair was. Whenever she was out in the sun, it would always shine. Her figure was skinny, but not enough to look like he was starving herself. She was athletic, and did martial arts just as well as he did. He loved the way her eyelashes cast shadows on her cheeks when she closed her eyes. Her eyes were such an unusual color…

"Are you ok?" Kori heard a voice from beside her. Kyo stood next to her, holding a blanket.

"I'm fine. What do you want." She asked. She was still a little mad at him for snapping at her.

"I wanted to apologize." He said. He had never apologized to any girl before. "For snapping at you earlier. I'm sorry."

Kori had already stood up, and began walking torwards the edge. "You're forgiven, but don't think I'm going to be nice to you just because—"

Kyo grabbed her arm, swinging her around, and pulled her close to him, placing a hand on her back. "Look, I don't know what you have against me, but get over it."

Kori's eyes were wide. She barely knew what was going on. She had never even barely talked to guys. Despite the cold air, his hand felt warm. "….?"

"I know your upset." He said. He cupped her chin in his fingers and forced her to look up at him. "You always make people happy at school. You're always cheering even the crabbiest people up, and you never get discouraged when people say mean things to you. You never complain, but it's ok to complain sometimes. When you want something, just tell me. I'll always be here."

Kori pulled away from him. "O... K…"

Kyo took one of her hands, and put the other on her neck and head. He breathed on her forehead, causing her to shiver. "But why… Why do you… Seem so sad?" he said, kissing her forehead. He breathed on her cheek, wrapping a blanket around her. "You need to go to your room and get some sleep."

Yuki shook Kori's shoulder. "Wake up please miss kori…"

Kori turned over in her bed and sat up. "What?"

Yuki smiled at her. "It's eleven in the moring, and I need to speak with you. About Kyo."

Kori got up, and put her kimono on. Under it she already had short jean shorts and a belly-shirt on. "What about him?"

"He didn't yell at me this morning."

"So?"

"I think… I think you may relate to him. He's always yelled at me in the morning. Now he actually smiled at he got his own breakfast this morning."

"Yuki… A lot of people smile in the morning. No big deal. She went over to him and put her hand on his forehead. "Are you feeling ok?"

Yuki just smiled at her. "He's never smiled unless Shishou sees him. He usually yells at me non stop, and this morning, he told me to 'please' go wake you up. He's NEVER done that. He's in such a good mood, it's scary."

Kori laughed. "Kyo's different than most people. He usually acts that way around me."

"I just wanted to say thank you. Oh yes, and Hatori wants to see you back at the Sohma house. Will you go?"

"Of course."
