Chapter one: The long lost cousin

My name is Karissa Temari. I'm a seven year old little girl. My parents moved to America and never got to say goodbye to my cousin. I know that her mother died...the day after my father. I pleaded with my mom and her new boyfriend, soon to be step-dad to me, to allow me to say goodbye to my cousin, but they told me no.

So to America we all went. I'm an only child and my cousin is like my sister. She always stay'd with me when we came to vistit her and my aunt. She was one of my best friends. Anyway...I had no idea what I was gettin myself into when I snuck onto that plane. Snuck? You ask, I told them that my family was on the plane and I had to go the bathroom. They let me pass...

So I climbed onto the plane and waited out the long ride to Japan...

---o.O.o.O.o.O.o---

I wandered down a street. I knew that this street was familiar. I could see the high school in the distance. That's her school! I knew I had found her. But just as the confort came it, too soon, fanished. What if she stay'd home? What if she already went home? What if she stays after school? STOP! I scolded myself.

Just them most of my fears were laid to rest when the school bell rang. I started walking towards the building, but as logic states, 'Eat or die.' I colasped from not having eaten in three days. With a small backpack and Japan style uniform you would think someone would stop to help me, but...

"Oh my..." came the sound of a girl.

I heard footsteps dashing towards me.

"It's a little girl...What do you think we should do, Miss. Honda?" Came the soft tinkering of a boy.

"I dunno...We can't leave her here!" The girl stated.

'Honda? Honda? Tohru Honda! Cousin Tohru!' I thought whole heartedly.

"Lets take her to the station. They can take care of her." A different more aggressive boy said.

"Shouldn't we at least try and see if shes okay?" The softer boy inquired angerly at the other boy.

"Shut up, you damn rat!" the aggresive boy shouted.

"Your making a scene again..." The soft boy sighed.

"Ummm...Yuki? Kyo? S-shes moving! What do we do? What do we do?!" Tohru, or so I thought, shouted nervously.

"We can't carry her Miss. Honda. You'll have to do that..." The soft boy sounded sad as he said that.

"Come on...Think...Shigure...wake..." I blacked out.

---o.O.o.O.o.O.o---

"Ugh...H-huh?" I mummbled groggily.

"Oh! Your awake." The boy from earlier! I remembered.

I nodded. But where was Tohru? The soft boy was really cute! I noticed. He had short blue/ greyish silver hair and eyes the same color but a different shade. Almost...blue...or purple. The boy notice me staring at him and smiled.

"What's you name?"

I stared blankly at him.

"Ummm...? How old are you?"

I continued to stare.

"Do you speak Japanese?"

I nodded my head slowly.

"Why won't you speak?"

I stared at him again.

"Okay, I'm Yuki Sohma. It very nice to meet you, though...I don't know your name."

I smiled.

Just then one of the doors in the house slide open, quite harshly, might I add, and a boy with orange hair and light red, possibly orange colored eyes came into the room.

"Your going to break the door again." Yuki mumbled angerly.

"Shut up! I brought your stupid food. Here!"

He thrust the food at Yuki and went to storm out, but notice me looking at him.

"What?" He asked angerly.

I stared at him.

"What are you looking at?"

I stared.

"Hello! Girl! I talking to you!"

I didn't flinch or move. I continued to stare at him.

"Quit lookin' at me!" He yelled.

Silence.

"Arggg! What's your problem!"

Quiet.

"Maybe you should try introducing yourself." Yuki told the boy.

"Why?!"

"Because other wise she won't stop staring at you." Yuki explained.

"Pfft...I'm Kyo. Now stop lookin' at me." Kyo growled.

I smiled.

"Guys! I home!" I girls voice came.

I squirmed in my spot. Tohru was here! I jumped up and open the door where the boy came in and dashed down the hall.

"Hey! Wait!" Yuki called.

I walked out into the main room and there she was. Cousin Tohru. I smiled. Yuki and Kyo came into the room as Tohru spoke.

"Karissa..." And she dashed over to me hugging me and laughing.
