Author's note: I have slight writer block, I've had it for a while. I've been bored... ALL THE TIME! And ya know what I do when I'm bored? I EAT! I EAT WHEN I'M FREAKIN' BORED! TRUE STUFF LOL! I DON'T KNOW WHY BUT I DO! CALL ME WEIRD IF YOU WANT TO, I AM WEIRD! HAVE YOU EVER EATEN ROTTEN CHEESE, STARED AT AN ORANGE JUICE BOTTLE BECAUSE IT SAID CONCENTRATE, SEEN FREAKIN' PURPLE COWS!? HAVE YOU!? NO! I didn't think so! A lot of these mysteries in the story like 'What did Kyo whisper in Tohru's ear?' are going to be answered at the end of the story, so please don't ask. I made up another character but you don't know his name yet, but he's super powerful and also a member of the zodiac (Yet not related to the Sohma's)

Recap:
I shot up "Zuzu! Long time no see!"
Kyo, on the other hand, he layed down on the front porch, rosey cheeks and all "What're you talking about?"
"Yeah, you moved and I never got to see you again... it's such a... pity. You're so..." Zuzu trailed off
x-x-x-x-x
Tohru's POV:
"I'm not that troublesome she-devil I was when I was in middle school anymore" I furrowed my eyebrows "But I still have my binder"
"You still have your revenge binder? Do you still use it?" She put his hands on her hips
I devilishly grinned at her "...I could..."
"YOU'RE THE SAME SHE-DEVIL YOU WERE BACK THEN! YOU ARE! I CAN TELL BY THAT SMUG GRIN! YOU'RE AN EVIL WITCH! PURE EVIL!" She spat and jumped back
"Troublesome she-devil? Revenge binder? Smug grin? Evil witch?" Kyo looked confused "What're you talking about? Tohru's not like that at all"
"Fine! You tell me what she's like then!" She crossed her arms over her chest
"Well," He thought for a minute as he sat up "She's sweet, caring, and girly"
"Ha! I doubt it!" She snorted "She humiliated me countless times in school! She got me suspended! She made it look like I cut myself! She made it look like I farted! She made it look like I dumped glue on the teachers head! How can that tomboyish troublesome she-devil turn into your dream girl you see before you right now!?"
I crossed my arms "I told you, I'm not like that anymore"
"What?! That's impossible!" She shrieked "Then why do you still have your binder!?"
"That's none of your buisness" I pursed my lips "I use it for different things now"
"But why do you have it?" Kyo asked
"Yeah, why?" Zuzu furrowed her eyebrows "Or was it a give from the guy you're madly in love with?"
I shrieked "What!? No! Ha! What gave you that absurd idea!? You don't know that!"
She smirked "I do now..."
I cursed under my breath then looked up at her and smiled "Do you really want that Tohru back?"
"No!" She spat "I never want to see that thing ever again!"
"Then you better shut it" I growled then covered my mouth "Where'd that come from?"
"Tohru! You haven't growled like that since Junior high! Oh gosh!" She looked scared
"What's going to happen?" Kyo stood up and looked at me
"Hey, what's your name?" Zuzu asked him
"Kyo..." He raised an eyebrow
"Okay, Kyo... I advise you to run" Then she took off running down the street
Kyo looked confused "What's going to happen?"
"How am I supposed to know!?" I scowled. When I saw his shocked expression, mine softened "Sorry"
"What was that?" He started backing up
"Kyo..." I reached my hand ou-t as he continued back up, I jumped towards him and he also took off running down the street, but not before he whispered in my ear something I would never forget "Kyo..."
I kept thinking about what he said, it kept ringing through my brain. I sat back down on the porch...
x-x-x-x
Time skip: three hours later
I just sat there, thinking as I let time slip away, and out of my grasp. Why was I acting so differently all of a sudden? Was Zuzu's aura rubbing off on me? Because I turned nice once she was out of my life... what happened? Does Zuzu bring out my inner character that I've been hiding from the world?
I heard footsteps walk up to me and stop. "Kyo?" I looked up. It wasn't Kyo.
It was Shiro "Did Kyo leave you after he found out who you really are?"
"He didn't leave me," I smiled "He'll never leave me"
"Sure, keep telling yourself that" He snorted and sat next to me
"He'll always be there for me" I reassured myself "He won't leave me, he'll never leave my side"
"Face it, Tohru! He's gone! He doesn't like you anymore! He never liked you! He's gone! Nothing's ever going to be the same between you two again!" He gritted his teeth "He hates you!"
"No he doesn't!" I shot up "YOU DON'T HAVE ANY PLACE TO SAY THAT! YOU'RE NOT HIM! AND YOU DON'T KNOW HOW HE FEELS! YOU DON'T KNOW HOW I FEEL EITHER! STOP TRYING TO DESTROY EVERY LITTLE PIECE OF HOPE I HAVE! YOU'RE JUST A JEALOUS LITTLE BRAT!"
I turned my head towards the front yard where Kyo, Yuki, Zuzu, Shagure, and Momiji were standing, all in shock, too shocked to speak.
"Stop it, Tohru! Stop hiding from reality!" Shiro slapped me across the face "He doesn't love you! AND HE NEVER WILL!"
"I NEVER SAID HE DID LOVE ME! BUT THAT DOESN'T MAKE THIS ANY OF YOUR CONCERN! I DON'T LOVE YOU ANYMORE! GET OVER WITH IT!" I crossed my arms "AND IF YOU THINK SLAPPING ME ACROSS THE FACE MEANS YOU LOVE ME THEN YOU GOT ANOTHER THING COMING!"
"NO, TOHRU! IT IS MY CONCERN! YOU MAY NOT BELIEVE IT BUT I LOVE YOU! I'M ONLY TRYING TO LOOK OUT FOR YOU! DAYDREAMING ALL DAY ABOUT SOME GUY THAT BARELY KNOWS YOU EXIST WON'T DO ANYTHING BUT DESTROY YOUR ABILITY TO WAKE UP! YOU'VE BEEN ASLEEP LONG ENOUGH! SO JUST WAKE UP! I'M ONLY TRYING TO HELP YOU!" He grabbed my wrist
"Let go of me!" I shrieked
"No! We're going for a little walk!" He started dragging me
I held onto Kyo who held onto a pole so neither me or him would leave. I smile reassuringly and whispered "He'll always be there for me"
Kyo's smile turned into a scowl "Who is this mystery guy anyway?"
I ignored him, Shiro let go of my wrist but grabbed my ancle right away so I couldn't move in time. Kyo was holding my hand while Shiro pulled both of my ancles. I remembered what Kyo whispered in my ear earlier so I kicked Shiro in the stomach and stumbled into Kyo once Shiro fully let go of me. He caught me just in time, we were so close. I breathed in his scent... he smelled like cats... oh yeah, because he transformed. Shiro didn't see because Kyo ran behind a bush in time.
I picked up Kyo's clothes and threw them behind the bush before Shiro could find out what was going on. All's Shiro did was smirk and grab my wrist again, I bit him and clung to the pole with my whole body so he couldn't get to me.
Kyo walked out from behind the bushes in human form and all of his clothes on "Tohru... your knuckles are turning white"
"Oh yeah" I smiled at the way he said my name. Shiro tried to pulled me off the pole by my waist but every time he tried, I screamed deafening shrieks. He tried again and I screamed again, then eventually, he gave up and backed away.
I didn't let go of the pole though "Jerk"
"I wouldn't expect less from our famous 'Bittersweet mystery'! Don't you just love that nickname, Tohru?" Zuzu interrupted
I growled "Don't call me that ever"
"Oh why not? Does it bring back memories of what happened back then?" Shiro smirked
"Ew! Tohru's getting mad! It's working!" Zuzu squealed
"I'm... not getting mad" I growled under my breath
"Oh? Then what if I tell everybody here who you are madly in love with, they'll leave you for sure!" Shiro laughed "And then you're ours"
Everybody was staring but too shocked to say anything. "No!" I pursed my lips "All's you want is for me to give you another chance, right?"
"If you don't then I'll make sure everyone here get's trapped by him" He laughed
"If we have to bring him out, he'll kill all of you in less than 2 seconds" Zuzu glanced at them then laughed "You don't stand a chance!"
"Hey, guys! What's going on!?" A familiar voice came from behind me. I unwillingly turned around to see who it was. It was Haru. (I call him Haru even thought his name is Hatsaharu or somethin')
