Yaaay! Story! D Ok..yeah..I know this is totally overused by me, but Ryokko is the second cat. xX Yeah. Enjoy! Here ish Hello, I love you!
Chapter One - Hello and Goodbye
Ryokko Sohma opened the door to the Sohma household. She took in a deep breath, and stepped inside the house. "Hello?" She said, putting down her bags. She heard a gasp, then the rustling of pots and pans in the dark kitchen. "Hel-" she was cut off by a scared looking Tohru holding a pan in front of her. "Freeze you robber!" The whole thing caught Ryokko off guard, so she stumbled backwards, hoping not to fall out the door. She still couldn't see much due to the fact that it was three in the morning. She heard the sound of a light switch as a tired looking Shigure took the pan from Tohru, and looked up at the nearly fallen-out-the-door Ryokko.
"Ah Ryo-chan! You arrived earlier then we expected!" Ryokko walked fully into the house, closing the door behind her. "Hello Shigure-san!" she said, bowing slightly. Tohru, noticing her mistake, bowed as well. "Oh! I'm so sorry! I didn't know you were coming today! I didn't mean to attack you like that!" Ryokko smiled. She assumed this was the infamous Tohru she had heard so much about. There was the sound of someone coming downstairs, and Yuki emerged. "What's going on down here?" he asked in more of a worried tone, not noticing Ryokko.
"I'm sorry, did we wake you?" Tohru said. Yuki smiled. "No, I was already awake." His glance moved to Ryokko. "Oh I didn't notice you were here. Hello Ryokko." Ryokko smiled. "Hello Yuki! Are you sure we didn't we didn't wake you up?" Yuki nodded. "Did we um..wake anyone else up?" Yuki opened his mouth the speak, but was cut off by Shigure. "Dont' worry, Kyo sleeps like a log!" He said, winking at Ryokko. Her face turned red, and she decided not to argue. "Which room will I be staying in?" She asked, adjusting the bag on her shoulder. "Yes your room!" Here, I'll show you." Shigure said, and the two of them left.
Tohru turned to Yuki. "Does Ryokko not like Kyo or something?" Yuki smiled, shaking his head. "No, it's actually the complete opposite.." Tohru blinked. "Oh? Does she have a crush on him? How sweet!" Yuki shrugged. "I'm a fraid you're only seeing the good side of it.." he said as Kyo walked down the stairs. Tohru beamed at him, and he gave her a weird look. "What're you so happy about?" Ryokko walked into the room, but quickly durned around when she saw Kyo. Shigure, however, stopped her. "Kyo! Have you said hi to Ryokko yet?" Ryokko turned around, her face red again. Kyo looked at Shigure, then dropped his gaze to Ryokko. "Hey.." he said quietly, his face pretty much expressionless. The room was silent as he turned around and went upstairs.
Ryokko, apparantly, had been holding her breath since she just let it out. She turned around, sticking her tounge out at Shigure. "Gah! I can't believe you made me do that!" Shigure shrugged as Ryokko walked over to Tohru. "BY the way, I didn't get to 'properly' introduce myself. I'm Ryokko, duh, and I'm the second cat of the zodiac!" Tohru smiled. She had heard about the second group of zodiacs, but Ryokko was the first she had met. It was just then she noticed the blue and white bracelet she was wearing, much similar to Kyo's. "It's very nice to meet you! My name is Tohru Honda. I'm so glad to finally be meeting someone from the other zodiac group!" Ryokko smiled. From what she could tell, Tohru was a very sweet person. Plus, she was pretty. A little bit of jealousy overcame Ryokko as she realized what Shigure had told her in his letters, but she brushed it off.
As Tohru and Ryokko talked a bit, Kyo came back downstairs. Shigure was standing at the bottom of the stairs, and Yuki was talking with Ryokko and Tohru. "So..she's here again?" Kyo asked, hoping she wouldn't see him. Shigure just nodded. "Does Akito know..?" he said, quieter then what he said before. Shigure sighed. "Not yet..but I suppose we'll have to tell him soon. I'm sure there won't be a problem this time..just pretend Hatori erased your memory or something like that.." Kyo nodded slowly, walking back upstairs.
After Tohru and Yuki decided to get ready for school, Ryokko turned to Shigure. "Am I gonna go to school with them today..?" Shigure nodded. "Haru is going to show you around, seeing as Yuki is busy with student coucil, we don't want to bother Tohru and I don't think you'd really want to go with Kyo.." Ryokko shrugged, looking down. "I don't..really mind. He's the one who doesn't want to talk to me.." Shigure frowned. "That's not totally true. He doesn't want the same thing to happen again.." Ryokko sighed. "That could all have been avoided..if stupid Kagura didn't have to go and complain..I mean, it's not like he..felt the same way or anything.." Shigure sighed as well. "Such is love.." he said, it that weird novelist way of his then walked back to his room.
Ryokko felt embarassed again, as she made her way upstairs to her room. Much to her disliking, she bumped into Kyo on her way up. Literally. "Sorry.." she said, looking down and trying to make it without talking to him. "Hey! You know you can't just keep avoiding me. Your room is right across from mine!" He called after her, more annoyance in his voice then actual caring. She turned around, shrugged slightly at him, then walked up again. Kyo walked downstairs and sat on the table, as Shigure came in. "Now, now Kyo. Don't be getting any ideas. You wouldn't want to cheat on your poor Tohru!" he said, giggling. Kyo rolled his eyes, hitting him on the head. "Knock it off, Shigure! Besides..I wasn't.." he stopped however, thinking he got the idea.
Tohru walked into the Ryokko's room, her smile still on. "Do you need any help unpacking, Ryokko?" Ryokko turned to Tohru, smiling and shaking her head. "No thanks. I'm almost done." Tohru still came over and started folding some clothes. "Um..Ryokko..if you don't mind me asking..what happened with you and Kyo? I'm sorry if it seems like I'm interfering, you don't have to tell me by any means!" Ryokko stopped, half smiling at Tohru. "I don't mind you knowing it's just..I don't know if I'm the right person to ask.." Tohru blinked, not understanding, but decided not to say anything.
