Hello lovely readers! I am sorry I have not introduced myself. I am a Japan fanatic, and have been 5 times, one of those being a study abroad for a semester experience. I am officially moving there in August, so I am pretty psyched.

I used to write stories on fanfiction, but it has been YEARS. I have always been that person who writes but never updates. However, now I actually have an outline for this story and know where it is going. Yes, I am 22 and I write fanfictions. I don't think you can possibly be too old for this kind of thing, only more of a spoil sport.

Anyway, I realllyyyyy hope you are enjoying this. Review if you can! Love you all~

Kyo's POV

School this year started out boring. It was always boring. I mean, I had friends and school and all, but its not like I needed them or anything. I'd rather be training in the woods with master to defeat that dang rat. Wasn't that more worthwhile than mathematics or literature? Anyway, the only thing that kept me at the Sohma house was Tohru. I needed to make sure she smiled for her mom's sake. Her mother had told me all about Tohru and how strong she was before I even met her. One day, Tohru got lost and I ran to find her. I was enraged when she told me a different boy-the dang rat, to be exact-found her before me. Stupid rat, thinking he can beat me to all the punches. I'll show him later. Tonight was quiet. Tohru was studying out on the porch, Yuki was in his room, and Shigure was writing one of his gross love novels-I don't really know what they are about-like I'd read his trashy books. It'd be too embarrassing. I should have been studying for my exam on Friday, but instead I was daydreaming of fighting bears in the mountains as I batted a tissue around.

dang, why do have to act so much like a cat?

Suddenly, there was a huge crash and splash-Tohru shrieked, and I ran outside as fast as I could. A girl I had never seen before was laying at the bottom of the creek, and Tohru was already knee deep, grabbing the girl's shoulders. I couldn't believe how this just happened. How the heck did she fall in our creek?

Tohru had to do all the heavy lifting since we couldn't help without transforming. Hatori came and checked on her, and the dang rat ordered me around. It was sophisticating to be in the environment, but I did feel bad for her. She looked European with blonde hair-and almost resembled Momiji. Her pristine body had huge bruises all over, and many cuts and gashes. Hatori seemed to think she'd be fine, so I believed it too. As the night carried on, Tohru kept caring for her, and even figured out how to manuver her up the stairs to her room. Eventually she looked really tired, so I told her to go to sleep. She nodded reluctantly, and began to do so. I knew it would still be a long night for her, because she'd have to check on her several times in the night. Knowing Tohru was an early riser and that she needed to get to school earlier than usual for a student teacher conference, I set my alarm for early as well.

When morning came, I knocked on Tohru's door. She was not there, so I checked on the European girl. Her eyes were swollen quite a lot, so it was a wonder that she even opened her eyes at that moment.

"Finally awake, huh?" I asked her.

She didn't say anything, but then again, looked incapable of many other words. At that moment, I was struck by her resemblance of something I didn't like. I couldn't put my finger on it, but I just didn't want to be around that feeling. I left the room quickly, figuring I'd tell Tohru she was awake. She was downstairs making breakfast, as I predicted.

"She's awake, you know." I mumbled to Tohru.

"Oh, thanks Kyo!" Her sunny disposition always caught me off guard.

"How can you be so-" I paused for a moment. I couldn't tell her about my uncomfortable feeling about the stranger in her bed. Tohru never saw the bad in people, only good. My feelings were just instinct-but that was it. There was nothing to prove my feelings were accurate.

"So what?" She asked, smiling big.

"Nevermind," I replied quickly, blushing. It wasn't a big deal anyway.

"I'm gonna go out to the mountains for a few days. I feel like punching a bear."

Tohru's eyes got big. "Is it okay to miss school?"

Kyo's mouth formed into a slight smile, yet still answered exasperatedly. "Yeah, its fine. See ya in five days."

"Okay, then." She never stopped smiling. I couldn't shake off that feeling that this girl was trouble for the Sohma family, but I didn't know in what way. I could think in the woods better than I could in the house, so I hoped I could figure something out.

I was heading out the door as Shigure stopped me.

"Going somewhere?"

"the woods to train!" I shouted. "Why do you care?"

"No reason," Shigure answered in his sing song voice. "I guess I get Laura all to myself then!"

"Fine by me," I growled, and slammed the door behind me.

As I began running, I felt an eerie feeling that something or someone was watching me. It was impossible for me to shake that feeling as tore the through the woods and up the hill. I needed to get away from it as soon as possible, but I wasn't sure if I could.

So what do you guys think will happen next? I'd love to hear your theories~
