Never Forgotten
Chapter: 1

Prologue
By: xStarfirex

"Kyo, I love you, never forget that"

She woke up with a jolting start. 'That dream was weird' she thought as she slowly arose from her light blue bed covers. She walked over to her window and opened it. The sun slowly rose to reveal a bright new day. A small wind wept past her as she looked out onto the horizon. Her light brown hair swayed with the wind and her emerald eyes shone with much enthusiasm to a new day.

She walked over to her bathroom and did the essentials. Shower, brush teeth, brush hair, change clothes. Her school uniform was blue and her shoes were black. After one last look in the mirror, she grabbed her bookbag and walked into the kitchen.

"Morning Tohru-kun." A girl about the same age sat at the small wooden dining table. She had blonde hair and wore the same uniform as Tohru, except she had on a longer skirt.

"Good morning, Uo-chan!" Tohru walked to the toaster and grabbed a piece of bread, "I have to go to school early today because sensei asked me to help do something for her."

"Oh, ok, see ya at school then." And without another word, Tohru finished her piece of bread and walked out the door of the apartment.

Tohru Honda and Arisa Uotani live in a two-bedroom apartment near their school. They share the rent.

Tohru arrived at Kaibara High School early enough that none of the students were on the yard or in the halls. Tohru walked inside the building and made her way to homeroom. Her sensei sat at her desk writing something on some papers.

"Good morning, sensei!" Tohru said as she walked in through the door.

"Tohru! You came on time! I need you to deliver these boxes into each of the classrooms," the sensei instructed while pointing to a large pile of cardboard boxes in the corner of the classroom.

"Ok, sensei," Tohru quickly put her bookbag down by her desk and walked to the pile of cardboard boxes. She picked one up and realized how heavy it was. She put it back down and picked it up again. She made her way to the door and to the first classroom.


She finished delivering her sixth box and was now carrying the seventh. She walked slowly to a classroom which was near the boys locker room.

"Honda-san?" said a male voice. Tohru looked up and saw that is was Yuki Sohma, aka the Prince.

"Sohma-kun, good morning!" Tohru said. She was slowly losing her balance. Yuki walked towards Tohru and lifted the box from her hands.

"That box looks heavy, let me carry it for you," Yuki offered. He turned around and started walking into the classroom.

"Thank you, Yuki-kun," said Tohru as she rubbed her arms. Yuki stopped and his eyes went wide and a smile appeared on his face. Yuki-kun. He sure missed that.

Yuki and Tohru finished delivering the rest of the boxes. Soon the halls were filled with students.

"Thank you again for your help, Yuki-kun," Tohru bowed to show respect and began walking to homeroom to get her bookbag.

"Honda-san!" Yuki called out to her before he lost her in the huge crowd.

"Yes?" She answered back. Yuki paused a while before answering.

"It was nice talking to you." He smiled at her with his most famous smile, the one the Prince Yuki Fan Club girls would do anything to see. But something in that smile made it more comforting to see. Something about his smile had changed. No one has seen him smile like that before. As the Fan Club girls watched, they couldn't help but think maybe that Honda girl had something to do with it.

"It was nice talking to you, too" Tohru smiled back her famous warm smiles. Then the two parted separate ways.

As Tohru walked back to homeroom, she saw Kyo leaning on the wall with Uo-chan and Hana-chan talking to him. Tohru started walking towards them. Kyo saw her coming and looked down, not wanting to make eye-contact with her.

"Hey Orangey, what's wrong?" Uo-chan asked, although she did not sound very caring. Normally, she wouldn't ask that, but something big was happening in Kyo's life. It all started about two weeks after she and Tohru moved into their new apartment six months ago.

"Nothing's wrong, why are you always asking me that!" Kyo yelled at her.

"Well, you're always moping now!" Uo-chan fought back.

"It's not moping! I just don't feel like talking!"

"Same thing! You and Princey over there are both suddenly to sad, what the hell is wrong!"

"NOTHING!" he said and stormed off just right when Tohru arrived.

"Good morning, Tohru-kun," Hana-chan said.

"Good morning, Hana-chan! What's wrong with Kyo-kun?" Tohru asked.

"I don't know, I really don't know," Uo-chan said as she watched him storm off, "well let's get to class."

The three walked into homeroom. Tohru grabbed her bookbag by her sensei's desk and sat down at a desk near Uo-chan and Hana-chan. Yuki walked in and sat a seat away from Tohru. Some of the Fan Club girls sat near Yuki, but Yuki didn't seem to care. Kyo walked in and looked at Tohru before making his way to his desk a couple seats away from Yuki.

The rest of the day went by smoothly and soon school was over.

"Tohru-kun, wanna play badminton with me and Hana-chan?" Uo-chan asked as they walked out of the classroom.

"Sure!" Tohru said.

The three had on white skirts and shirts and was walking towards the badminton court, each holding a racquet. Uo-chan and Hana-chan went to get the birdie and left Tohru on one side of the court. Tohru looked out through the fence. She saw Yuki and Kyo talking to a man with black hair that was almost covering one of his eyes. Next to him was a little girl. She looked so cute with her orange-ish hair. Next to Kyo was a cute boy. His golden hair matched his girly-like complexion. He also seemed to be getting on Kyo's nerves because Kyo began hitting the poor boy and he began crying and whining. Tohru couldn't hear a word any of them said. They were a little far. The little boy suddenly looked at Tohru and a wide smile appeared on his face. He talked to everyone in his group and soon the whole group, including Yuki and Kyo, looked over at Tohru. Tohru blushed and turned around. 'Who were they?' Tohru mentally questioned herself. Tohru looked back to see if the group was still there, but they had left.

After a long afternoon, Hana-chan went separate ways with Tohru and Uo-chan. The two girls arrived at their apartment and Tohru began cooking onigiri for dinner.

"What a day! Thank goodness tomorrow's Thursday, the second to last day before the weekend!" Uo-chan said. She turned on the TV and the two of them watched as they ate their onigiri.

"Goodnight, Uo-chan," Tohru said a few hours after dinner.

"Oh, night, Tohru-kun."

Tohru walked into her bedroom and got ready for bed. She sat by her window and looked outside into the shining moon, as she does every night. 'Mom, today was good day! Yuki-kun helped me move boxes to each classroom. I'm glad I have a friend like him. Uo-chan, Hana-chan, and I played badminton in the school badminton court. It was really fun! Kyo is a mystery, I'm sad to say. I was hoping he and I could become friends. But we've never talked to each other before. And their group… mom, I saw Yuki, Kyo, and three other people outside the badminton court. The little boy seemed to like me and the whole group turned to look at me, that was very unusual. Well, I hope tomorrow will be a better day. Goodnight, mom'.

Tohru climbed into bed. She had one last look at the picture of her mother on the nightstand before closing her eyes. 'I hope tomorrow will be a better day' Tohru repeated in her head as she slowly drifted off to sleep.
