Chapter 1

"What in the world are you doing here?"

"Why isn't it obvious? I'm your new, handsome teacher! After all, why would I pass up a chance to get to know my dear little brother better? HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"Then…. what about your shop?"

"Oh, don't worry. I got Ritsu-chan to take care of it."

"But you don't have a teacher's degree, do you?"

"But of course I don't! You don't need a teacher's degree to teach Home Economics, and that's what I'm teaching!"

Many of you may be wondering what is going on right now, and I don't blame you. Let's go back a day to when this first started.

"And as a last announcement, we will be having a new Home Economics teacher starting tomorrow, seeing as Takeda-sensei has unfortunately passed away. That's all class, you're dismissed." Tohru grabbed her bag and walked out the door to her locker, where she put her shoes on and hurried out to get to her part-time job. When she got there, she was greeted by Momiji.

"Hi, Tohru! Guess what? Papa sent me to tell you that you've been promoted! Normally since you have a part time job he wouldn't do it, but he says that since you've been working so hard he thinks you deserved it!" Momiji bounced up and down as he handed a packet of papers to Tohru. "These are the job description papers. Papa also said that you start tomorrow, and that you can take the rest of the night off! Wanna come play with me? Please? Please?" Tohru smiled.

"I'd love to, but I guess if I don't have work, I should get started on my homework. Maybe you can come over for dinner later instead?" She asked.

"Oh, okay! And I'll bring Ha'ri and Haru and Aya and Kisa and even Ritsu, too!" He said, bouncing.

"Then it's settled. I'll make a large dinner so nobody is still hungry after we eat, okay? Come over at seven."

"Okay!"

"What? Momiji, what are you doing here?" They turned their heads to see Momiji's mother and sister standing there.

"Oh, hello." Momiji bowed respectfully, Tohru following suit. "I was here to see Tohru, and the president asked me to take these papers to her. I was just leaving." Tohru sighed, wishing more than anything else in the world that Momiji could have a mother to love him at that moment so she wouldn't have to see him looking so sad.

"Yuki-kun, I've been promoted to secretary! Momiji's coming over to celebrate, and he's bringing Hatori-san, Tsuharu-kun, Ayame-san, Kisa-chan, and Ritchan-san as well."

"Congratulations. How about I go pick some strawberries and we can have them for dessert, okay?"

Seven o'clock rolled around, and in came Hatori, Hatsuharu, Kisa, Ritsu and Momiji.

"Aya couldn't come. He said he had some work to do."

"Thank the heavens." Tohru set up the table and they all sat down to eat.

"Thanks Tohru. Are you going to accept the job?"

"Yeah, I think it'll be fun." Tohru smiled as Momiji waved goodbye and walked out the door.

"Tohru-kun, I figured that it was a good time to get you a birthday present, seeing as you never told any of us yours. It's good timing that you got a promotion, too. Come outside." Tohru jumped and turned around to see Shigure smiling at her. He led her outside and they walked about five minutes until they came across a garage. He opened it up to reveal a silver car with a note on the windshield. It read 'Happy Birthday from the Sohma family.' She turned around and hugged Shigure.

POOF

"Oh my god! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to, I was just so excited and I forgot and I'm sorry!" She put her head in her hands in frustration.

"It's okay, Tohru-kun, I would have hugged myself too."

POOF

"AHHHHHH!"

The next morning, the three of them drove to school in Tohru's new car. Then third period came around.

"Hello class. I am your new and handsome sensei, Sohma Ayame." And in he came.

"What in the world are you doing here?"

"Why isn't it obvious? I'm your new, handsome sensei! After all, why would I pass up a chance to get to know my dear little brother better? HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"Then…. what about your shop?"

"Oh, don't worry. I got Ritsu-chan to take care of it."

"But you don't have a teacher's degree, do you?"

"But of course I don't! You don't need a teacher's degree to teach Home Economics, and that's what I'm teaching!" Yuki moaned and buried his head in his hands. "Hello my dear Tohru-chan. How are you? I have a wonderful new outfit that would look perfect on you. Stop by the shop sometime."

"Um, okay."

"Kyonkichi! I didn't see you there!"

"DON'T CALL ME THAT!"

"Ah, yes. The wonders of youth. Ah yes. Anyway, I am Sohma Ayame, and I am Yuki's older brother." A group of girls squealed.

"Really?"

"Ah, yes. I remember when I was in high school. I looked just like Yuki does now."

"Nii-san, just stick to your subject."

"But that's no fuuuun!"

a week later-

"TOHRU! WHERE ARE YOU! COME OUT AND FIGHT ME!" a girl who looked about Tohru's age stampeded through Shigure's house, tearing it apart.

(Shigure: "Oh dear, more repairs. Why must everyone destroy my house?")

The girl walked up to Shigure.

"Hello, I'm looking for Honda Tohru. Does she live here?" Shii-kun sweatdropped.

"Shouldn't you have asked that before you tore my house apart? But yes, she does live here. You're almost as bad as Kyo over there."

(Kyo: "HEY!")

"Shigure, Kyo, we're home!" Tohru called.

"FINALLY I'VE FOUND YOU! YOU CAN'T HIDE ANYMORE! COME AND FIGHT ME!" the girl called.

"That girl sounds like Kyon-kyon." Yuki remarked. Tohru sighed.

"Suzume, what are you doing here?"

"So her name's Suzume?"

"Hai. Sakura Suzume. She's my cousin on my mother's side."

"STOP IGNORING ME!" Suzume threw a kick at Tohru's head, and Yuki moved to get in front of her, but before he could, Tohru ducked and countered, sending Suzu flying.

"WHAT THE HELL? SINCE WHEN CAN YOU FIGHT!" Kyo shouted.

"I'm sorry. I just pretended to have no idea how to fight. If I had let you know, then THEY could have found me."

"Ano…"

"I'll explain in the morning, I'm exhausted."

"Matte! What about dinner!"

"Right! I'll get on it right away!" She started to cook dinner when Yuki came up to her.

"What about your cousin?"

"Um, could she stay in a spare room tonight?"

"Hai. I'll go get a futon set up."

"Oh, no! I couldn't make you go through all that trouble! I'll do it after dinner."

"I must insist. You need your rest. I'll do it."

"Must you?"

"Hai."

"Okay, then. Arigatou."

"Do itashimashite."

Hello, how was it? This is my first furuba. The pairings are Yukiru and Kyosuzu.
