A/N: Hey, trying to write some Clannad. This chapter is mostly the scene in Kyou's OVA between Sunohara and Kyou, but I took Tomoya out. So, he isn't there watching them almost kiss. This chapter is short just to get the base started. Enjoy!

Chapter 1 - Prologue

SUNOHARA POV

Violently, she grabbed my ear and pulled me down the school hallway. Her hair flushed behind her as she dragged me along and she had this crazed look on her face. Not that that was out of the ordinary.

I attempted to struggle back against her, but she powered down the stairs as I fumbled behind her. I questioned her over and over, asking her what on Earth she was doing, but she ignored me completely. The girl was determined to take me somewhere, even if it was against my will. What a weirdo.

She got me outside. She stopped short, letting my ear go. We stood outside, alone, by the doors. Looking over at her, she had her arm over her stomach gripping her side and her focus on the ground. I might have not heard her correctly, but suddenly, she stated that she liked me.

What a strange time for a confession of love, especially considering all the rumors flying around. This had to be a joke.

"I really don't believe it," I chuckled. What a stupid girl thinking she could bait me like that.

She turned her head away from me and stared off at the trees in the courtyard, "Why? Is what I'm saying that strange?"

I itched the back of my neck, "I just never sensed anything between us…" Her face fell, and I felt bad, "Maybe that's it. I didn't notice it because we see each other too often."

"Yeah…" There was a beat of silence. "...maybe it's something like that..."

She whipped around to face me and brought her head up to look me in the eyes.

My chest sunk, and my hands shook at my side.

Her confidence rose instantly, "I'll show you an easy way to prove it," taking a deep breath she jumped up at me, wrapped her arms around my neck. Her face moved closer to mine, and before I could even realize it, our lips were centimeters apart. My hands were against her waist.

Shit. This is all wrong. I pushed her away, lifting her arms up off of me. Her head dropped. "W-wait a second…" I muttered, letting her go, and shoving my hands in my pockets.

She crumpled up into a ball. She was probably extremely embarrassed. This was definitely going to be a low point in her life.

Still, a little smile appeared on my face. I might have even laughed a bit. "You're really acting strange. Do you really love me?"

She wobbled, folding her arms and looking down, "What do you mean?"

I released a sigh. This girl really was stupid. "If I'm wrong I'll apologize, but don't you like Okazaki?"

With a gasp, she was looking back at me, eyes wide open. I was right.

"What are you talking about?" Her voice was shaky and she balled her fists up, "I-I-"

With a shrug, I saved her from a weak explanation, "It's okay, Kyou." I started to walk away. I waved back at her, "Forget about it."

Strolling through the courtyard, I chucked to myself. Never thought that would happen.

She might have called after me, she might not have even watched me walk away. She had to have been upset with herself, making such a wild, out-of-the-blue move like that.

I turned inside to the school and went straight for the vending machine.

Picking up the juice box that fell, I thought over what had just happened. There's no way she would actually like me. I can't kiss a girl who does really want to be kissed by me.

I stabbed the straw into the juice box and took a sip. Ugh, why'd I have to be so righteous?
