Love Shock

Chapter 1: Beauteous Snow

A/N: italics-character thoughts

Saki Hanajima was walking toward the house that Tohru lived in. Tohru had invited them over to have lunch and to discuss something with them. Saki had told Tohru that she would be coming along later; there was something she had to take care of something at her house before she could over to Tohru's.

Hmm…this path doesn't seem familiar. It is rather pleasant though. The path she was walking down had trees on both sides. The leaves of the trees were a beautiful colored mixture of gold, orange, brown, yellow, and red. Fall is at its end and winter is near. The snow is lovely; a pure thing covering everything.

"I sense waves…coming from over there." Saki turned towards the trees on her left side. I think that person is a Sohma…black and white hair…Hatsuharu Sohma.

"Where is Shigure's house again?" Haru was standing in the middle of a field of trees, gazing at the trees and their beautiful leaves.

"Fall is beautiful, but winter is radiant." Haru turned his eyes toward the sky, longing for winter's caressing touch to come down and blanket him in her embrace. The snow is lovely, no doubt about it.

"I think I hear something." Haru turned to his right and saw someone standing there. Hey that looks like a path to Shigure's house. Hey…I think that's Tohru's friend…the psychic…Saki Hanajima.

He seems lost just like I am.

"Hatsaharu?" Saki waited patiently for Haru to step through the trees.

"Hey." Haru stood next to Saki looking at her eyes. I've never noticed how nice her eyes looked like. Haru looked over the rest of her, looking at her as if he had seen her for the first time. He noticed her raven colored tresses and how it fell lightly down her shoulders, curling at the end. He looked at her pale skin, which only enhanced her looks as it matched well with her color hair. He looked at her lips, those rosy lips begging to be kissed. Begging to be kissed? Where did that come from?

Saki was looking at Haru's grey, stormy eyes, a beautiful blended color of his two hair colors. Her eyes then traveled towards his shirt; slightly open, revealing his perfectly sculpted chest. She glanced back at his eyes and saw something she could not recognize. His eyes have a touch of longing…no, that can't be it.

"Hatsuharu, were you going to Shigure's house?"

"Yeah, I was. Were you?"

"Yes. I don't remember this path though."

"It leads to the back entrance of Shigure's house. I was looking for it."

"Shall we be going to Shigure's then?" He still has that look in his eyes. His eyes are beautiful. Beautiful…where did that come from?

"Yeah, let's get…" Haru saw that there was a snowflake on Saki's lips.

"Is something the matter, Hatsuharu?" His waves are giving off amusement. I wonder what for?

"Snow." Haru moved closer towards Saki and raised her chin. He gently pressed his lips to hers, softly nibbling her lips to take the snowflake off her lips. She tastes…sweet. I like it. "I've always liked the snow."

Saki raised her hand to stroke Haru's cheek. She pressed her lips once again to his because she noticed snow on his lips. Saki licked Haru's lips tasting both the snow and Haru at the same time. He tastes…sweet. How lovely.

"The snow is wonderful isn't." Saki had both her hands on Haru's cheeks and kissed him once again gently.

"Yeah, it really is." Their lips met once again causing Haru to feel a slight jolt that sent tingles through his body.

"What was that?"

Saki pulled back to look at his eyes and said, "Love shock."

Saki and Hatsuharu stayed on the path, lips pressed to each others as the snow fell around them, blanketing the lovers in winter's embrace.
