AN: Hey everyone! I'm back, and I'm sorry I didn't update sooner, I was so tied up in school finishing and today was the last day so yipeeee! Anyways, thanks for the reviews, Sorceress of Chaos, and Teh Future Mrs. Kyo Sohma.

And now, on to the story! And as the chapter title say, Welcome to Ten Years Later!

"Finally, I'm done for the day! Now on to the weekend!" yelled the cheerful 23-year-old Tohru Honda. She had graduated from college last year with high honors. Now she was working in at a local hospital near her hometown. Tohru was pretty much the same since 10 years before; she was active, smart, clumsy, cheerful, and comforting. But most importantly, she was still dating a certain red-headed, scarlet eyed Kyo Sohma. And he was picking her up today.

"Over here Tohru!" yelled Kyo when he saw the familiar brunette. Kyo was pretty much the same too. Only he wasn't always in trouble with his teachers. Now he was a responsible, rich, and famous, (AN: get ready for this one!) comedian. (AN: lol I know, criticize my friend not me!) And he had a surprise for Tohru, no joke.

Tohru smiled and ran over to Kyo and his nice and shiny silver BMW. She quickly kissed him on the lips, even though it still sent chills down both of their spines, and went in the car. Kyo turned the car on and drove out of the parking lot, in the streets.

Tohru then grabbed her sneakers that were hidden under her seat. Kyo saw her grab them and said, "Just keep your heels on for now." She looked at him like a little child who didn't want to eat their vegetables. "But you know I hate heels!"

"We're going somewhere special, so keep 'em on for now."

"Where exactly?"

"It's a surprise."

Tohru's eyes widened with excitement, "YIPEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I love surprises!" Kyo smiled, no matter how old she got, Tohru would always get so excited at the word 'surprise.'

As they drove on, Tohru started to recognize where they were going. She turned to Kyo and said, "I have the feeling we've been here before. Have we?"

Kyo just smiled and kept his mouth shut. "Fine, it makes it a better surprise," pouted Tohru.

Then Kyo pulled the car over and parked it. Tohru looked out the window, knowing they must've been at their destination. Then it hit her. It was Li Elementary School (AN: not their real school, just made it up) the school she attended when she first moved there. The school where she and Kyo had first met.

Tohru looked at Kyo who had his arm reached out to her so they could get out. "Is there suppose to be a reunion or something?" Kyo just smiled at her and said, "You'll see."

They walked over the main door of the school. Suddenly, the doors opened, and out came all the teachers that had taught the two of them, that were still there and/or alive. But two of those two weren't teachers, but Kagura and her husband, Koji. Kagura had a little tummy though, because she was 4 months pregnant. Tohru of course was wondering what was going on, and turned to see Kyo on one knee.

Kyo took her hand and said, "Tohru, I've known you since 3rd grade, you were the smart girl and I was the supposedly trouble-maker. But we've grown to settle over those differences and become a couple ever since the summer of '06. And I've waited until you've finished school and became a doctor, and I think I've waited long enough."

Tohru knew why he had to wait so long and smiled while she recalled the memory.

FLASHBACK

"Tohru, you the rules, no boyfriends until you finish school, and yes that includes college!" exclaimed Kyoko. Tohru had just told her that she has a boyfriend, and wanted to tell her family because they found out she wasn't going to Kagura's house everyday.

"But mom, I know I should listen to you, but I can't just dump him! He might take it the wrong way, and find someone else and I'll, I'll never feel the same way ever again."

"And what makes this boy special! I remember him getting hit by a car and he's the trouble-maker of the class! How do I know this isn't just some fling and you'll end up getting heartbroken?"

Tohru was teary-eyed and sighed, "I don't know what makes him special Mom, but I know he is. Others may think of him like that, but not me. He's the only one who can make me smile and whole lot, and someone who I can actually talk to. And Mom, I'm the only one who actually understands him. The only one who knows how to comfort him, or let him know that he isn't alone. I even cheered him up once before all of this. And when I'm around him, I feel safe and happy and like I don't need to pretend anymore, because he'll accept me. He's the only person that I've known since I came here who can understand me and vice versa. He just, feels so right to me, and I don't want to let go." Tohru had tears running down her cheeks when she finished her speech.

Kyoko knew now that this boy meant something dear to Tohru and she didn't want her to be unhappy. She smiled and said, "I guess, he really is that important isn't he?" Tohru nodded while wiping away her tears. "Well, if it makes you happy, you two can still see each other." Tohru looked up with a huge smile. "But if you start failing tests or before you finish school, some kind of "accident" happens, you're in big trouble." Tohru ran to her mother and hugged her. She then put her shoes on.

Kyoko looked confused, "Where are you going?"

Tohru smiled, "Mom, I got to tell Kyo and Kagura, don't worry I'll be back soon!" And with that she left.

Kyoko sighed, "Why didn't I have a boyfriend at her age? O wait, I should've said that!"

END FLASHBACK

Then he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small case. He opened revealing a huge diamond ring and held it out to Tohru, "Tohru Honda, will you marry me?" He had hope in his eyes and a smile on his face.

Tohru put her finger on her lip, and said, "Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?" While she was "thinking," Kyo was sweating so much from all the stalling.

Tohru looked at him, smiled and finally said, "Yeah I think I will." Kyo smiled, slipped the ring and Tohru's finger and gave her one hell of a kiss. After that show of affection, all the teachers and Kagura and Koji congratulated the engaged couple. The teachers were a little surprised at this, but they were still happy for the couple. And the sun shined on them, like it was smiling with approval and happiness of this day.

AN: whew, well there chapter 3. I think I can fit 2 or 3 more chapters in. Sorry for making Kyoko seem too mean and strict, but that's how my mom is and I needed her to be like that for all that to fit. And it did work to my advantage so yeah! And now I'm free from school, so I can write more! Unless I go on vacation, then you guys will have to wait!

Well, review; tell me if you liked it, hated it or whatever. Don't worry, I'll update pretty soon, so keep a look out!
