Chapter 4: Memories from when we met
"No...not again. Bad memories!" Tohru thought. She turned around and stormed off. "I think I over did it." Thought Kyo. "Oh Well, she deserves it."
He turned around and walked casually, the opposite way Tohru had gone.
"I can't beleive he would do something like that again." Tohru thought. She was now sitting outside a caffae' having a cup of coffee. "That first week of High school was what started it all."
-Flashback-
It was the first day of High school. Such a happy day and sunny day. The bell had wrung to begin the day. Everyone went to his or her assigned homeroom. That's where our two favourite people met. "Wow, he's so handsome!" Thought Tohru. "Take out your notebooks, kids. You need to write down a few rules about the school.
As Tohru did what sensei instructed, she looked to her left and noticed that the orange haired boy was looking at her. Tohu began to panic abit. "Oh no! He's looking at me." She thought, trying to hide her blush. As Kyo stared at her, he started thinking. "She's kinda cute, at least someone in the class is."
As homeroom continued, Tohru was nervous all the way through. "Ding Ding Ding-Ding" The bell had wrung. Kyo looked up and chuckled a little. "That's the bell? What a wimpy sound!" All the kids started laughing along with Kyo, including Tohru. "Ah, Mr. Sohma, I can see I'll have so trouble with you. See me after everyone leaves to recess." Said Sensei. Tohru suddenly realized something "Sohma? That means he's related to Yuki! No wonder he's so good looking."
Everyone began to walk out of the door. Tohru watched Kyo as she walked out. Kyo looked at her back and gave her a wink. When Tohru was out of the classroom, she started blushing like mad. "Wha, what's wrong with me? I never felt this way before."
-End of Flashback-
"We started out so well, but then that idiot had to ruin it all." Thought Tohru, taking a sip of her coffee.
Back at the beach, was Kyo sitting down watching the waves come crashing in. "It's all her fault. If only she would have believed me...Now we hate each other's guts. There's no way we can become friends without our reputation dieing."
Kyo started to think back on the day they had met, just after the teacher had finished lecturing him.
-Flashback-
Kyo has just had his first teacher-to-student lecture that year. He walked out of the classroom, surprised to see none other then Tohru there waiting. "It's that girl..." He thought. "Oh hi! I didn't get a chance to introduce myself. I'm Tohru Honda, please to meet you!" Said Tohru as she nervously offered her hand to shake with his.
"Oh, umm hi. I'm Kyo Sohma, great meeting ya." Said Kyo lazily looking away. Kyo then started to laugh silently. "What's wrong?" Asked Tohru, tilting her head to the side. Kyo looked up at her, trying not to laugh too much. "Is your name really Honda? Isn't that the brand name of a car?" Kyo said, now laughing ever harder. "Yes...that's right." Tohru smiled, but she was slightly annoyed. She turned around about to walk away, when Kyo suddenly called her.
"Wait! Sorry, umm I didn't mean what I said. I just suck at talking to people" Said Kyo, rubbing the back of his head. "That's alright, you're not the first to say that." She said, looking over her shoulder. She then said something she never thought she would say. "Hey do you want to have lunch together?...Although you don't have to! I'm sure you would much rather have lunch with people you know!" Tohru started rambling like usual until Kyo cut her off. "Yeah sure, whatever."
Tohru was abit taken back by his words. Did he just agree? They both went to lunch and ate together, talking about random things. this continued for a few days, until Tohru introduced Kyo to her friends.
"So this is the famous Kyo we've heard so much about." Said Uo, looking at Kyo. "What are you looking at Yankee?" Kyo said harshly. Uo ignored the Yankee comment and continued, "You! Your fake orange hair, let's nickname you orange-top!" Cried Up. "What the hell? It's natural!" As Kyo and Uo continued arguing, Hana interrupted. "Strange..." She began. All three were looking at her. "He seems to have the same electric waves as the prince."
"Oh, Yuki? Well they are related." Said Tohru. Uo was very surprised. "No way! you're telling me orange-top here is family with Yuki?" She said. Kyo then started thinking of Yuki and mistakenly mumbled "Tha damn rat, hope he rots in hell." The girls looked at him strangle. "Rat?" They all said. Kyo had realized his mistake and quickly spoke. " Ehh, I gotta go now, see ya's!" He then ran off. "Very strange indeed." Said Hana.
-End of Flashback-
We're now back at the caffae' with Tohru, still in deep thought. "After he ran off, I should have gone after him, but then Yuki came along."
-Flashback-
"Kyo wait!" Called out Tohru, but to no avail. "Miss Honda!" Came a soft calm voice from behind Tohru. She turned around and was over joyed to see Yuki there. "Yuki! I haven't seen you since High school started. It seems wierd not having you around, because in Middle school we were everywhere together." Yuki chuckled, same old Tohru. "I see you've met my cousin, Kyo. My apologies if he's been a total jerk to you." Said Yuki.
"Oh not at all! He's been wonderful to me, I'm glad to have met him." Replied Tohru, smiling with joy. Yuki looked down at the ground, looking somewhat disappointed. "Is that so?" He said, icily. Yuki then walked away without warning.
-End of Flashback-
Tohru got up and went to pay for her coffee. As she walked to the counter, she noticed she didn't have her handbag, meaning she had no money to pay for the coffee. She started panicking, but decided to go back to the table she was sitting at and pretend she was still drinking her coffee. "Might as well wait for Kyo to come and pay. He'll kill me for sure! That jerk..." She thought.
-Flashback-
Tohru was happily walking to school about to enter the building. As she walking in, she noticed people staring at her, smiling. Except most of the girls gave her dirty looks. She then started thinking to herself. "Those looks...They look like looks of...jealousy?"
A group of girls suddenly approached Tohru, with their hands on their hips. She recognized them because they went to her Middle school. "Hi, is there something wrong?" She asked brightly. One of the girls stepped forward and spoke. "Honda, right?
Who do you think you are. In Middle school you always flirted with Prince Yuki, now you're going out with his cousin? You little hoe." The girls then walked straight past Tohru, leaving her in shock and confusion.
She had no idea what they were taking about, until she started reasoning this out in her head. "No one in school's talked to me since I arrived, and the first person that talks to me, insults me... What were they talking about? Were..were they saying I'm going out with Kyo? Who on earth said that!" She thought panicking.
"Hey, Tohru! There you are. We need to talk about something." Tohru turned around and it was her two loyal friends. "Uo! Hana!" Tohru ran to them in search of comfort. Uo then decided to continue speaking. "There's a rumour going around that you and orange-top are together. Is...is this true?" Tohru looked up at Uo and replied. "No!" She cried. "I...I don't know what's going on!" Tohru was on the verge of tears. She didn't want rumours to be spread around about her. "Who's doing this?" Asked a worried Tohru.
Hana decided to answer this question. "It's been said that Kyo announced it this morning to his friends, and his friends have been telling everyone else." She said calmly. Tohru's eyes went watery. "No way, Kyo?" She sadly thought. "Yuki was right, he IS a jerk!" With that said, Tohru started walking to Kyo's locker.
-End of Flashback-
"I guess that's where out short friendship ended." Tohru sighed and looked up at the sky.
"Geez, i don't think she's gonna come back, might as well go look for her. Said Kyo, standing up. As he walked towards the direction Tohru ran to, he thought back to when Tohru confronted him about the rumour he supposedly started.
-Last Flashback P-
"Man, everyone's been looking at me like I'm some sort of freak." Thought Kyo as he opened up his locker. He then heard footsteps approaching him. He looked, and there he saw Tohru. "Tohru! We really need to talk!" Kyo said. Tohru looked at him with anger in her eyes. How can he act so innocent after he spread such a stupid rumour. "Oh, you bet we need to talk. How could you spread such a lie! Now everyone thinks I'm a hoe because of you!" Tohru shouted in rage. Kyo looked extremely confused.
"What the hell are you going on about?" Kyo was now getting angry with her. "You spread a rumour that me and you were boyfriend and girlfriend!" She stated. Kyo blushed at what she just said, but honestly still had no idea why she was blaming him. Tohru noticed him blushing and she was convinced it was him. "See! Your blush says it all! You really did spread that rumour!" Tohru was so frustrated with him, she ran off, leaving Kyo confused and angry.
"What the hell...I thought we were friends. Don't friends believe each other? Then again, of all the times to blush, why now?" Thought Kyo. He closed his locker and started walking to his classroom. "I'm sure she'll get over it by tomorrow."
-End of Flashback-
"Boy was I wrong. After that we fought with each other every single day. I still think it was that bitch's fault!" Kyo thought at she walked. He was looking for Tohru but couldn't find her. He then heard his name being called and looked around the area it was coming from. After a while of looking, he saw the girl he dreaded. Kyo walked over to Tohru with his angry face. "I've been looking everywhere for you!" He said annoyed.
Tohru didn't want to speak with him after what had happened, but if she didn't, they would get no where. "Why would you look for me? Oh that's right, I am your girlfriend." Said Tohru, trying to prove a point. Kyo had forgotten about that incident. He sighed. "Hey, I had to say something. How could you say you didn't know me? We've known each ohter for two freakin years!" Kyo started rising his voice. People started looking at them. Kyo was causing yet an other scene.
Tohru looked up at Kyo and said "Let's go before you embarrass us again." Tohru stood up, about to leave with Kyo until the waiter approached them. "Miss, you need to pay for your coffee, $2.50 please." The waiter put his hand out. Tohru suddenly remember about the money. "Oh yes, hold on a second." She said as she turned to face Kyo. "Kyo! I need some money, can I borrow some?" She whispered. Kyo looked at her angrily. "I don't have any money on me right now, idiot! Even if I did, I wouldn't give any to you." He replied quietly. They both went silent and the waiter was getting impatient.
He cleared his throat and repeated, "$2.50, please." Tohru and Kyo looked at each other and both thought, "Oh crap."
