Konichiwa! I'm back again! new story...probably will have 4-5 chapters... dont really know right now. hm... going brain dead here...so read and enjoy! Heh, yet another Kyoru story from me!


"Okay, I'm going out!" Tohru called out throughout the house. She knew only Kyo was home, but she didn't want him to worry. There was no particular reason why she was going out. She just felt like taking a walk. Tohru didn't want to bother Kyo at the moment or distract him from what he was doing. He was locked up in his room again, like he had been for days now, only coming out for meals and staying silent. He seemed to be really busy these past couple of days. But, they both knew what was coming…

Tohru shut the door behind her and started her walk down the dirt path. She couldn't stand being alone with Kyo just then. It only brought her down and she felt some what pressured…some what saddened. The silence between the two of them the past week had been unbearable. Normally, whenever she's around him, her body turns numb and her heart pounds hard against her chest. But now it was different… they both knew what was coming…and it was approaching fast. Graduation would be there in another short week.

Tohru sighed as she felt tears come to her eyes with failure. She had promised herself long ago that she would break the curse. She didn't want to give up hope that everyone would be free someday, and Kyo wouldn't be confined. But if the curse was possible to break, she probably would have broken it already and at that point she wouldn't be worrying about Kyo's confinement. Tohru shuddered at the thought of Kyo, sitting alone in corner of a dark room, arms wrapped around his shoulders, praying he would get out of there.

Tohru shook her head, as if ridding the image out of her mind, "I won't give up now! I have to do this!" she brought her hands up to her chest. "I just have to! For all of them!" she closed her eyes. "For Kyo…"

An image of a slender yet muscular body appeared in her mind. This image was pleasant and she saw a tight black tee-shirt with cargo pants. She saw the red and white beaded bracelet dangling from the left wrist. She saw the ginger bangs resting recklessly on top of the head, partially covering the eyes. Those ruby colored eyes that gazed into her soul. Tohru reached out to touch the lips, the ones that were tempting her to kiss so tenderly. She stepped forwards.

"Hwaah!" her legs hadn't moved, but the ground came up to meet her very fast. The grass tasted foul and Tohru's shirt was now completely dirt-stained. She picked herself up and knelt on the ground, wiping the mud off her cheeks with her sleeve. Her eyes averted to the object that had tripped her. Her feet were tangled in a death-black chain, and on the end of it was a golden locket. The cover of the locket had crimson swirls and scattered red and white circles on it. She picked it up and stared at it, lying in her hands, mesmerized.

"It's so beautiful!" Tohru glanced up and looked around, trying to possibly find the necklace's owner. She was no one. Tohru shrugged and smiled. "I guess I can keep it!" she put on the necklace and watched the cover of the locket glisten on her neck.

"I wonder if I could just see…what's…inside," Tohru tried to pry the locket open with her finger tips. But it wouldn't budge.

"Humph!" her brows furrowed in confusion.

Suddenly, the locket started to glow. Tohru's eyes widened in fear. The locket was raised out of her hands and hovered in front of her face.

"W-what's happening" Tohru stared at the locket. A bright aura shone around her and Tohru was lifted slowly off the ground. The grass below her seemed to disappear and she saw nothing but a fog below her. Above, the sky turned white and then loomed a light purple haze. Tohru was still, floating in mid-air, watching the mysterious locket cast a bright flash of light around her again. Tohru immediately began to feel weak and something forced her to shut her eyes. Before she lost consciousness, she breathed, "Kyo! This can't be happening…"
