On the way to the store: Tohru's POV

I was walking along the sidewalk, going to the store to buy some milk for Kyo since it ran out again and I forgot to buy more

until he reminded this morning. About halfway there, a strange man in black came from behind a car and grabbed my arm. He

had dark sunglasses on, so I couldn't see his face. He looked familiar, but I just couldn't tell who he was. I was afraid that he

might be one of the weirdoes Shigure told me about, so I bashed him in the head with my purse. He then covered my mouth

with a foul smelling rag and pushed me into the car. I started to feel dizzy, sleepy, and nauseous all at once. My eyes started

to close. I tried my hardest to keep them open, but in the end everything went dark.

Right before I fell asleep, I heard him say,

"Gomenasai, Tohru."

When I came to, I was lying on the ground in a black room, where no sunlight reached. The floor was made of concrete and

there was a door across the room from where I was sitting. I decided to get up and see if the door was locked and if I could

get away. Unfortunately, the door was locked and I had no hope of getting out. I decided to sit down on the hard ground,

even if it was an uncomfortable position. I had a bunch questions I wanted answered, but the major ones were:

1) What are the boys going to eat tonight without me to cook for them? I wasn't supposed to get kidnapped; I had to repay the Sohmas by being their maid! (That was one of the two only ways I could think of to pay them back for letting me stay in their home. The other way was, of course, to break the curse and set everyone free. I hadn't found a way to do that yet.)

2) Where was I and what was going on?

3) Who had kidnapped me?

The thoughts just kept tumbling through my head that I had to hold my head to keep everything straight. After I had sorted

through them, I decided to get up instead of sitting on the hard ground. As I was getting up, the door slowly opened.

Standing in the doorway was…Kureno?
