"Oh no! I'm late again!" Tohru gasp[ed running down the stairs.

"Late again I see," Shigure said, smiling. The girl ran to get her books from the table.

"Yes. Bye Shigure-Kun!" she waved as she ran out the door.

"Wait! No breackfast?" he shook his head as he saw Tohru run out of the house.

Im so late Kyo-kun already left...Yuki-chan had to be at school early for a meeting. I hope their not worried. She made her way down the street when she spotted a young man in the middle of the issolated road with a dazed look on his face. He turned to meet her gaze, his white hair ruffling with the light breeze...She made her way towards him, smiling.

Tohru? I thought she'd be in school by now. He continued to stare at her small approaching form.

"Hatsuharu-chan? Are you lost?" He stared at her and smiled, "Yes, yes I am. I think I made the wrong turn somewhere."

She smiled up at him, her vivid turquoise orbs softening. "Thats ok, I'm late too. Come on, let's walk together," Tohru said holding out her hand. He stared at her small pale hand, before taking it with his own. He couldn't help marveling at her soft skin. He'd never noticed how her soft brown hair cascaided down her back, flowing with her every movement. It looked alive. His fingers itched with the overpowering desire to brush his fingers through her hair and feel her thick silky strands.

He'd never seen her this way before. Perhaps it was because now they were alone. She's usually under the company of Yuki-chan and Kyo-kun. With them around, he'd never really had a conversation with her. "Where's Kyo-kun and Yuki-chan? I thought they always walked with you to school."

Tohru looked up at him, and was shocked at the raw desire she saw in the depths of his gray orbs.

She blinked a few times and licked her suddenly dry lips, before she answered, "Oh, ummm..." she shook her head to clear it, "Well, Yuki-chan had to be at school early for a meeting, and Kyo-kun thought I wasn't going to school because I didn't get up when I usually do." She sighed deeply, and continued, "You see, I'm always the first one up, I don't know why I overslept." She bit her lower lip in thought.

Abruptly he began walking. Damn! She's too tempting, he thought, remembering her full sensual lips. The way she licked her lips almost shattered his self control.

"Is something wrong?" Tohru asked concerned. He turned to look at her while still walking. he stopped when he heard the grumble of her stomach. He stared at her patiently, as if he were paralyzed. Slowly, her face turned from pink...red...crimson.

Suddenly he burst out laughing. With his thumb and index finger, he tilted her chin up and leaned in to her. His nose barely an inch from her's. "Would you like to go get some breakfast with me?...We'll make it a date."

Tohru, smiling, leaned in to him, only centimeters from his lips, and whispered, "I would like that very much."

Hatsuharu wished he could close the centimeter seperating their lips. Her breath was minty and fresh. He could feel the warmed radiating from her, her lips giving his the promise of pleasure and softness...God if only I could...just one kiss...only one...what could happen?

What does happen? Well, now is the time where you review and tell me what you think...:)
