Chapter One
"Graduation"
-----
"Kyo!"
A door slammed shut as footsteps echoed on the first floor. They made their noisy approach on the staircase, gaining momentum from the jubilation in the air. As soon as the steps landed on the second floor, though, they became light as air. Kyo's door was left slightly ajar, letting the sun's fingers spotlight the dancing and swirling dust.
"Kyo?"
No sound came from his room.
"That's odd. Maybe he's on the roof again."
Tohru softly slid the door open, her blue eyes studying Kyo's room. She's seen it plenty of times, but what caught her eyes was how Spartan Kyo's desk looked. She did a double take and frowned. Tohru walked over to the desk and righted the picture that appeared to be knocked over. It was a picture of Kyo and Tohru at the beach. Together, as close as they physically could be without activating the curse. Tohru smiled fondly at the memory of that vacation. That trip to the beach marked their one year anniversary.
It took Kyo two years to work up his courage, on his own, to ask Tohru out after she witnessed his true form. Tohru held out on two year's worth of dates and invites just in case Kyo came around. And he did. Now here they are, about ready to graduate in an hour. Tohru moved from the desk to the veranda, enjoying the slight breeze that ruffled her brunette hair. She made her way to the ladder and began the ascent to Kyo. She stopped halfway when she heard a muffled moan. Her already rosy cheeks blushed a brighter hue at the sound. Tohru contemplated momentarily, concluding that whatever Kyo was doing up there, she could handle. How very wrong she was as her head peaked over the tiled roof.
Her breath hitched in her throat. There was no escape from the scene before her. Time seemed to stop. The very air itself stopped breathing just as Tohru held hers. She couldn't stop the raging beat of her heart nor the trembling of her entire body. Her mind reeled with the vision before her and yet, she still couldn't understand the vision before her.
"Kyo?"
Barely above a whisper, Kyo caught it drifting on the current towards him. He immediately looked towards the source of his name and his eyes widened in shock and horror. Kagura glanced sideways at Tohru and she couldn't help the little smirk that came to her face. It didn't help that Kagura's lips were red and swollen, hovering millimeters from Kyo's own ravaged lips.
Tohru took in a deep breath before she carefully climbed her way down the ladder. She heard the rustling of clothes and a hurried scraping to the edge of the roof. As soon as Tohru's feet made contact with the floor, she sprinted out of Kyo's room, down the stairs and out the front door. She could only her heart hammering inside her chest and the solid thud of her shoeless feet making contact with the soft earth. She forged on ahead as her vision became watery, unheeding to the sounds far behind her.
"TOHRU!"
"TOHRUUUUUU!"

A/N: Okay. That's it for this chapter . I know it's short. Forgive me! BUT, for anyone a bit confused at the timeline, since it's their graduation day, Tohru and crew are 18. Whoo-hoo! And Kagura. Why is she so evil … or at least, why does she have malicious intentions toward Tohru? Yeah, yeah, I slapped the OOC warning as clear as daylight in the first AN. But c'mon folks, I have my reasoning behind Kagura's actions, trust me!
Thanks for stopping by to read. I hope to receive reviews from you lovely folks!
