Heylo Guys! How are you? Anyway, I started Rereading Furuba and I just TOTALLY had this idea for a story. I'm sort of busy with other things, but I had to see if this story would get any type of reception at all! It was just sort of digging at me so I started writing it and well…HERE WE ARE! I'm likely to continue this story for several chapters just because I have a lot of it written down in my writing journal, but if it is not liked at least a little, then I won't continue it passed that. Ok, so, just to be sure, here is the

Summary: 20 years ago, right after Yuki and Kyo graduated from college ((I know that Kyo didn't go to college but for the sake of my story, he did.)), Akito decided to leave the control of the Sohma family to Kyo, Yuki, and Hatsuharu. They have run the family very nicely, and raised their one child each to take control when they were ready. But, now, a man with black hair claims to be Akito's son, and is accusing the three of forcing his mother to give up her power and says that he wants it back. What is going to happen?

Just to clear this up BEFORE all the questions, here are the pairings:

TohruxKyo

MachixYuki

HatsuharuxRin

HiroxKisa

AkitoxShigure

AyamexMine

Uo-chanxKureno

Hana-chanxShishu

Those are the Cannon pairings. Ok? There might be others depending on where the story goes. There are several OCxOC pairings, but those become obvious later on.

Long flowing orange hair messily surrounded the sleeping girl's face. In sleep, she scrunched up her nose and turned onto her stomach. She buried her face deeper into her pillow and smiled. "KYOKO SOHMA, you better get your martial arts butt up NOW or you're not going to the dojo for a WEEK!"

The girl jerked awake and groaned; mornings were not her strong time. "I'm UP!" She sat up on her knees and stretched up slowly. The girl, Kyoko (Or Yoko as she was often called) opened her brown eyes and pushed her long hair out of her face. "You have TEN minutes of I will call Sakura and tell her to LEAVE YOU BEHIND." Her father shouted up the stairs.

"And don't forget to make you're bed, sweetie." Yoko's loving mother added. Downstairs, Tohru looked at her husband with a little reprimand. "Kyo, don't yell so much." She said, with a small smile. Kyo looked at the love of his life and pulled her close. He kissed Tohru lightly.

"Yes sweetheart." Kyo said. Loud footsteps above signaled their daughter's approach. She ran down the stairs and stopped right in front of the couple. "Ech, get a room, please." She said, with a smirk.

Kyo and Tohru looked at their child. Yoko was sometimes described as an almost perfect mixture of the two, at least in looks. The bright orange hair was obviously Kyo's but the face and beautiful brown eyes were all Tohru. However…Yoko's personality was ALL Kyo, besides little bits of Tohru DEEP down. Yoko had the quick temper and easy protectiveness Kyo had always had and expounded on it by defending anyone with the martial arts she had learned since she was four.

"Yoko, is you're bed made?" Kyo asked his daughter. "Yes, Daddy." Yoko shook her head in exasperation. "Can I go now? Sakura is waiting She really needs me." Yoko begged. One of the things Yoko liked best about herself was that she looked just like her mother, but with different colored hair. And Yoko knew that her father could hardly EVER say no to her mom.

Kyo rolled his eyes and moved aside. Tohru kissed Yoko on the forehead and smiled at Yoko's leaving back.

Sakura Sohma sat on the corner wall near the exit of the Sohma estate. Her brown hair covered her face as she looked down. She was a very quiet and reserved child. As the daughter of Yuki and Machi Sohma, she had a very quiet gene pool. She while she was a great image of her mother, had the ethereal beauty of Yuki. Though no one called her "Princess", she was well on her way to an established fan club.

Sakura was very smart, but she was so withdrawn, as a small child she would hardly ever talk. She had that strange way of seeing things that her mom, Mach, had. And she'd been picked on a lot when she was smaller. Until her best friend Yoko had saved. Think of the devil and the devil shall appear, Sakura thought. Thudding footsteps and heavy breathing had alerted her to Yoko's arrival. "You're late." Sakura said quietly.

"I know, I know. I didn't hear my alarm!" Yoko said fidgeting to fix her school uniform. She was a little girly, but often never tried…She loved to sleep. "I'm not really complaining. We are always early anyway." Sakura said. They lapsed into a comfortable silence until a black haired bullet streaked by them.

"YUKINO!" The girl screamed at once. The boy just a year older than them turned and smirked, but kept going. "I cannot believe he is named after your dad, Sakura." Yoko said, shaking her head. "Uncle Haru has such a sick sense of humor."

"You're telling me!" Sakura bowed her head. She'd never told Yoko, but she'd been in love with Yukino since they'd been five and him six. He was everything she wasn't and she loved him for that. Yoko quietly kept walking. She had a feeling that their quiet peace would soon end.

While the kids were at school Yuki, Kyo, and Haru met in the main house. Many things had changed since high school and the curse had left them all. Akito and Shigure had moved away after Yuki and Kyo graduated college. Akito had, for some reason, left control of the Sohma family to the three of them. No one knew why but they had run the Sohma family for 20 years and ran it well.

All the three of them had raised their one child each to love and to be responsible for each and every one of the Sohma family members. They'd decided to pass the control to them when they were ready.

The three joked and laughed for awhile then discussed many things. All of them ignored the feeling they had that something was coming. Something big.

Yoko, Sakura, and Yukino walked home acting as teenagers do when they were alone walking home from school. Basically, they were complaining about homework, teachers, and school in general. Well, ok, so Yukino and Yoko were the ones doing the complaining. Sakura loved school. The entered the Sohma estate and went to their separate houses near the entrance.

Yoko walked up to her room and collapsed onto her bed. She opened her window and leaned back into her pillow. She closed her eyes and dreamed….

It was white. All white.

"Kyoko…Kyoko…" She heard her name. It echoed through her head. She turned and saw a man with black hair and a very angular face. He slowly came closer. "Kyoko. I need you to help me. Free me from the bonds I have!"

She reached out for him, tried to pull him closer, but he stayed just out of reach.

"How? How do I help you?" She asked.

"Love." He said. He started to fade away into the white.

"How does love do anything? HOW?" She screamed, but he stayed silent as he continued to fade. "NO! Don't leave me!" She tried to run after him, but…

Yoko's eyes opened. She sighed. She'd dreamed that same dream for as long as she could remember at least once a week. The only changes were the age of the person. When she was younger, he looked like a child with a beautiful baby face. He smiled and laughed. But, as she grew, so did he. When she was about 10, he stopped smiling, and asked for help more seriously, as if he really needed it more than ever. Now, he was solemn, as if he was in pain and needed her help very badly.

She sat up and looked around. Then, she heard a yell, followed by many voices shouting. "I am here now! WHERE ARE THEY?" An angry voice came through her open window. "I MUST see Yuki, Kyo, and Hatsuharu Sohma. RIGHT NOW!"

"Sir, you can't just-"

"Do not tell me what I can't do. I am the son of Akito and Shigure Sohma! I am Akira Sohma, true leader of this family and here to take my rightful place."

Yoko quickly slammed up and out of her room. She was down the stairs and out the door in a flash. Outside, she saw this man, Akira-san, had drawn quite a crowed. Yoko went closer and then walked to stand by her dad, Yuki, Haru, Sakura and Yukino. Yuki stepped forward to meet the man.

"Sir, you are causing a great disturbance. Wither or not you are the son of Akito, she relinquished her power to me, Kyo and Haru. You have no grounds for you're claims."

"That is not true. Right before she died she told me you forced her to give you her power. YOU have no grounds." He said.

Yoko stepped forward. "me and my two cousins have trained for the position of leading this family since our birth. We are to be the next leaders." Akira stepped even closer so he and Yoko were toe to toe. He toward over her by about a foot but he didn't back away. "Fight for it?" He asked with a smirk that clearly showed he thought she'd back off.

"Fine." She said. "I hope you don't' mind getting beat by a girl." Yoko smiled sarcastically. She was one of the best, and she knew it. Not many could beat her. For a moment, Akira was shocked and said nothing. Then, he shook his unruly black mane and said, "You would fight a man clearly bigger and older?"

"I've gone against bigger and older." Yoko replied. For a few minutes, the two glared into each other's eyes-brown against gray.

"Children." Haru stepped closer and shoved the two apart. Akira glared once more and said, "I'll be back tomorrow. We WILL settle this." And he stalked out.

So? What ya'll think? Let me know! R AND R PLEASE!
