-XChapter 1: ThoughtlessX-

It was five in the morning on a cold and rainy Monday when Kyou had just opened his eyes to the sound of thunder near-by. Man, I hate Mondays... Yay, rain he thought as he glanced out the window, only to see a thickening cover of steam and rain wash over it. Yesterday's little event found its way back into his mind. That pissed him off even more then the factthat they would have to walk to school in the rain. He sighed as he reluctantly sat up and threw the khakis sheets off of him as he stood up and when to take a much-needed show. (A/N: Why doesn't he just lick himself clean...? I mean he is the cat, right? ...Sorry, please continue.)

-XMeanwhile downstairsX-

Yuki, having woken up at 4:30, was already in uniform and eating breakfast. He was highly annoyed with Shigure, because of him and his little 'I-know-your-secret' smiles. There was no way he could have possibly known... it was only last night that it happened...

-XFlashbackX-

"Tohru.." Yuki had whispered her name so quietly that he himself could barely hear it, yet somehow she had put the circular laundry basket she had just been carrying to the laundry room down and turned to face him.

"Yes, Yuki?" she asked, her eyes sparkling a b-e-a-u-tiful aqua color.

"I...I..." Yuki stuttered. He just couldn't bring himself to say what he had rehearsed so many times last night, so perfectly each time that he was sure it wasn't that hard... if you're saying it to yourself in front of a mirror, that is.

"Yes?" Tohru asked, her eyes shining even more so.

"Ijustwantedtoaskyouifyou'dbecomemygirlfriend" he said in one breath. He stared at the ground, his face now bright red. Luckily for him Tohru was to confused to notice.

"Huh?" Tohru's eyes spun around in confusion, she could've sworn Yuki had just said something in Chinese.

"Tohru... Will you be my... my..."

"Yes..?"

"You will!'"

"Will what?"

"...Be my girlfriend...?"

"Of course I will, Yuki!" Tohru's eyes sparkled in delight, not believing that Prince (A/N: 'Princess'... he he...) Charming had just asked her, not one of his much-prettier fan-girls, her out.

Yuki smiled and watched her as she grabbed the basket and disappeared into the laundry room, all the while blushing. Little did Yuki know that the other two occupants (sp?) of the house had witnessed this event.

-XEnd FlashbackX-

Kyou, who had finished his shower and put his uniform now, was now walking down the stairs, images of Tohru's excited smile as she accepted to date the damn Rat. How could she just say 'Of course I will Yuki!', without any consideration about my feelings, and how I felt about it... But of course... she doesn't know I know... and she probably doesn't care either... I should've known... the Cat can never be loved...

He didn't know just how wrong he was...

-XA/N: This was the first chapter of a long fan-fic yet to come… This chapter's only purpose was to describe the set-up for the story. All of the other chapters will be longer. Look Back for more chapters soon!X-
