I never knew how loyal all of my readers were! You guys left such great reviews for this story, that I thought I'd update a little sooner. It's like 3 am, and I'm pretty sick; so feel special :) I'll make sure to update the other story in a few hours! But on with this one...

Tohru walked through the very familiar double doors that led to the inside of the school she once held close to her heart; it was where she had met all of her dearest friends, including Kyo. She sighed, thinking of the cursed cat, and how stupid she had been to think they might actually have a chance together. Though she didn't have much time left to her thoughts when she was tugged by the wrists and led into her old homeroom class by one of the school staff.

"You're Tohru Honda, right? Homeroom here?" the woman asked briskly, trying to usher as many people as possible to their respective places; there were far more people here than what she would have expected, and the principle had suggested opening the homerooms and classrooms to make the space necessary for such an event. She turned only to see Tohru's head bob in agreement, her slek brown hair falling across her shoulders at it did so.

Tohru was shown where the room was, and briefly introduced to the staff member managing the grounds there as well. You'd think they still thought us rowdy teenagers..she shook her head empathetically. Her graduating class did have some strange ones; Uo-chan, the yankee, the Sohma family, who was just as fearful as being touched as terrified children were of the Boogey Man. Tohru shook her head in amusment, those were the days...Decidedly bored with her own mindset, she began to walk around the room aimlessly, until she was squeezed from behind.

"Tohru Honda! How dare you!!!" Tohru's eyes widened at the fists that now engulfed her small waist in their embrace. The voice was so amazingly familiar.

"Uo...chan." she blinked, holding back what might lead to tears. She had always been emotional, and it was all her fault being as she was the person who hadn't kept in contact. "Is Hana-chan here too?" she nearly whispered, the tight grasp on her sides almost unbearable.

Her question was answered when a petite figure, about her height, with long black hair stepped in front of her. Her eyes were nearly black, the curls in her hair framing her face so perfectly she could be mistaken for a doll. The porcelain beauty smiled at her in response. "Tohru-chan." she breathed, before opening her arms for Tohru to step into a very welcoming hug. "why didn't you speak to us?" her voice was concerned.

Tohru shook her head in disbeleif. How could she not talk to her best friends? For three years? I'm so horrible...She grimaced, feeling ashamed. "I'm sorry. Things have been so busy..." she turned to Uo-chan then, smiling.

Uo now stood at least another foot taller than her, her hair cut just below the shoulders; and it looked very good in Tohru's opinion. Her arms had been neatly toned out, the muscles there a little more visible; which could mean only one thing. "What kind of trouble are you getting into now, Arisa?" Tohru cautiously approached the subject. Uo-chan had once been in some trouble, her mom helped her out with that much. But Tohru wasn't her mother. She couldn't do so much as stay on her own two feet.

"No more than the usual, Tohru. Don't worry about me." Uo-chan smiled, hearing her real name escape from Tohru's lips. She never called her Arisa. But the care and genuine love in her eyes made her smile at the thought. She turned around, hearing the door shut as a familiar orange haired boy walked in the door, the petite Kagura not too far behind. "But I think there's someone else who wants to see you..." Uo grabbed Tohru then, pushing her toward the middle of the crowd confused.

Hana leaned in, gently brushing against her friend's arm as she spoke, "He missed her...His aura is everywhere...confused." she sighed, shaking her head. Tohru had told the both of them what happened before leaving, and they both knew well that Kyo had loved her too. It was so...Obvious. But only Tohru would miss something like that. "Arisa?" Hana felt Arisa shift her feet.

"You think they'll make up?" Arisa's eyes were soft, worried about her poor Tohru's heart being broken once more. She loved that girl to death; she was family.

"I think they'll do more..." Hana muttered with a sly smile, directed at Arisa, who simply stared in shock before bending over giggling.

"Oh Tohru..." Arisa shook her head, thinking about the near future and the kind of phone calls she and Hana were most likely going to receive from the confused Tohru Honda...

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

Tohru shook her head in confusion, staring back at her giggling friends. "Why'd they push me away?" she only sighed, tucking a short lock of hair behind her ear. Those two can be so strange. But they were friends, and weird or not, she missed them. Instead of being upset and walking back over, she simply walked forward as she looked around the room; She didn't recognize many people. Some here or there, but nobody she ever felt a connection with during high school. In the midst of her thoughts, she felt herself run into something, A wall?

"u-Oh! I'm sor-" the voice was strangely familiar to her, although it was deeper than normal. She looked up to where the words came from, finding two cat-like eyes hidden underneath misshapen, orange hair. "K-ky...Kyo...?" I must be dreaming...Kyo is in the mountains! Tohru stepped back, taking the entire picture in. He was tall-much taller than before- and his skin was pulled over highly defined muscle, leaving his chest and arms seemingly rock hard. She almost smiled at this as she stared into those eyes.

He finally spoke, "T-Tohru?" he was just as surprised to see her, and even more surprised that he had her all to himself. She used to have so many friends, and always found it hard to get her alone for that matter. "I...I found you." He managed to smile, pulling Tohru into his muscled chest as he hugged her tightly, releasing her only moments later, her expression seemingly humorous at his change; the change that didn't turn him into a cat, that is. Kyo chuckled softly, not sure what else to say, "Maybe we should talk?" he suggested, scratching the back of his head as he stared at the speechless Tohru Honda.

Yay! Cliff-Hanger! Hope you enjoyed their long awaited meeting. However, there's more to come!
