I got this idea from rewatching School Day and I got depress all over again haha. I love Katsura as a character of course until she went insane. But the first time I saw it it was so depressing to watch. The only reason I kept watching it was the hope that it was that things would make a turn for the better. But everyone end up dying or went insane. So I decided to write this fanfic.

The story starts off around when Katsura went a little insane. When she was walking around hallow and empty eyes. In a way this is a AU if you look at it from the School Day POV. As for the school Rumble side of it...I just love School Rumble haha! So the AU plot is that Katsura snapped out of her state of mind were she was a little insane. I'm saying that her sister knew what was going on. So she snaps her out of it. Katsura decides that Makoto cheating was destroying her. So she makes the choice to leave town and go cross country to Yagami. From there she suffers depression, loneliness, a bit of suicidal thoughts, Attempted suicide, bullying, and distrust. But there is some hope at the end of tunnel. Unlike a the anime/manga there will be a happy ending its just it will be a long road to get there. I really want to explain how hard it would be if she left Makoto in the series. What she most likely would of felt and dealt with internally. This will not be a romance story...yet. I have no real pairings coming into this story. I really want it to be more about recovery and friendship. If i decide to put romance in it wont be until later. I thought Tenma Tsukamoto was a good friend to help Katsura. But that's enough explaining here is the story enjoy!

Kotonoha Katsura seems to blend in with the new and returning students of Yagami High School. She was starting her third year of high school at Yagami high. New school, new town, and a new start. Right now Kotonoha was an emotional mess. The only thing that's keeping her from killing herself is her sister Kotoro who was back in her hometown. She found out that her boyfriend Makoto Itou was cheating on her with several different girls, one of them being her best friend. The depression was just too much for her to handle. For a while she didn't deal with it. She became hollow and empty. Makoto was all she had at the time. Even now she still felt that pull he had on her. She left because of her sister Kotoro. She saw something was very wrong with her. In some ways Kotoro snapped her out of it. Kotonoha then realized how much this was affected her and sister. For a couple days Kotonoha thought about what she should do. Everything inside her head was messed up and in pain. But this time the pain was so much worse because she was now aware of Makoto cheating on her. Before she was in a state of mind that caused her to think that anything was perfect. The choice was hard but she made it. Kotonoha left her hometown cutting all ties with everyone expect her sister. Yagami was clear across the country from her home. She was starting over. Kotonoha walked up to the class assignments and scanned for her name. "Classroom 2C…" she mutters holding her book close to her chest.

"Thank goodness we're in the same class again girls!" a cheery voice yells behind her.

Kotonoha turns to see girl a little taller than her with black long hair with small pigtails at the side. She was with three other girls. "You might as well put a bullet in my head right now haha." Laughs the blue haired girl. She carried herself up right and with pride; Mikoto threw her arm over the smaller girl Tenma. "But I think I'll tough it out another year with you three!" she says with a smile.

Kotonoha left the class assignment broad to find her class. But to her displeasure everyone seems to have their eyes glued to her both guys and girls. She could over hear the guys say "She's so hot!" or "She's so cute!" But the girls on the other hand said "What's wrong with her? She looks so depressed. Almost like a walking zombie…" Kotonoha knew she didn't look so good. Ever since moving to Yagami she hasn't slept very well. Every night she dreamed about Makoto and what they use to be. It would always start out as a good dream, and then it would turn into a nightmare. She always woke up heart racing and sweating like crazy. Last night was no different. Her eye were heavy and her hair a little messy but not terrible. She hugs her book tight as she enters Classroom 2C. The class was almost empty with a couple students sitting with friends or sleeping. Kotonoha takes a seat in the front desk dead center. She puts her head down and decides to take a small nap.

Tenma skipped down the hall to her class to see if Karasuma was there. To her delight they were still in the same class. So all hope wasn't gone yet "This is the year that I do! This is the year Karasuma heart will be my!" she thought happily. Tenma went into the class surprised that Karasuma wasn't in there. But the girl in the front row caught her eye. Kotonoha at this time lifted her head and rested on her chin, her arms crossed in front of her. "Who's that? Must be a new transfer student or something. She looks so…depressed. Maybe she just tried…yeah that must be it." Tenma thought leaving the room to check the band room.

Kotonoha pulled out her books ten minutes before the start of class. Just then Mr. Tani walks in and sets his bag down. He sees Kotonoha "You must be Miss Katsura Kotonoha the transfer student from Sakakino Academy. I'm your homeroom teacher ." he says.

"Nice to me you sir. I hope to not be bother." Kotonoha says quickly standing up and bowing.

"Don't worry about it. I don't see how you could top some of the students in this class when it comes to bothers. This class can get pretty hyper. Well it's nice to have you Miss Katsura." Tani says now turning to his bag.

Kotonoha was now a little nervous; she hoped that the class wouldn't be too crazy. If she wasn't learning anything her mind would wonder. Which would make her more depressed then she already was. The thought would fall on Makoto. Soon the whole class filled up and class began.

To Kotonoha surprise the work here at Yagami was about the same as Sakakino Academy. So there really was no challenge at all. Which was bad for Kotonoha, her mind kept wondering off back to Sakakino and back to Makoto. Every time she thought about it a sharp pain would stab her heart like a knife. It caused her to jump a big each time. It didn't go unnoticed by her classmates "What's wrong with her?" someone whispered. Another person said "She looks like she going to throw up."

Kotonoha stood up and ran out the classroom holding her hands over her mouth. She really was going to throw up. She rushes into the girl's restroom and doesn't quite make it to the toilet. She threw up on the restroom floor. This happened every now and then. The pain in her heart would really make her want to throw up. She felt another one coming out and she rushes over to the toilet this time. She hears the door open.

"Hey you ok?" the voice calls. Kotonoha didn't answer because she was to afraid of throwing up again. "Here let me help you a bit." The voice says walking behind Kotonoha. She feels someone take her hair and hold it back. Good timing to because she threws up one last time.

Kotonoha wipes her mouth "Thanks…" she says quietly standing back to her feet.

"No problem…Are you sick?"

Kotonoha turns to find the girl from the morning. She had the pigtails that reminded her of her sister Kokoro. "You could say that…" is all she says.

"I see…My name is Tenma Tsukamoto." Tenma says with a soft smile.

Kotonoha puts on a small smile "My name is Kotonoha Katsura…" She says bowing.

"Well Katsura you left quite the mess or here." Tenma jokes walking to the janitor's closet. She takes out a bucket and mop "Here fill this up." She says handing the bucket to Katsura.

Kotonoha was a bit surprised at how nice Tenma was to her. Normally girls disliked her for many reasons. From her breast size to shy nature they always found something to hate about her. But something about Tenma was different. Kotonoha took the bucket and filled it up with water. After she placed the bucket on the floor and Tenma mopped it up. "You don't haft to do that! I should be the one mopping, I made the mess." Kotonoha says.

"No don't worry about it." Tenma says almost finished.

"Why are you doing this for me?" Kotonoha asks.

Tenma finishes the last spot; she stops and leans against the wall "Because…you look like you need a friend, being new and all. Hell I would feel lonely moving to another school…Where you from?" she asks.

Kotonoha shakes her head "I don't want to talk about it." She says.

"Come on how bad…"

"I said I don't want to talk about it!" Kotonoha says almost yelling.

Her tone of voice scared Tenma a bit "Ok…I'm sorry for asking I won't bring it up again." She says holding up her hands.

Kotonoha feels terrible at the way she handled it "I'm sorry I shouldn't have said it like that." She says lowering her head.

"Its fine Katsura… I have a tendency of being a little too nosy." Tenma smiles rubbing the back of her head. She felt that she might have pushed the envelope a little too far this time.

Kotonoha bows "I'm sorry but we should really get back to class." She says before walking out the door.

Tenma stands there for a moment alone. Just thinking of what could have happened to her before coming to Yagami. She had never seen someone like her before. Plus Tenma couldn't help be a little jealous of her breast "she shorter than me and her boobs are bigger then my! What the hell is up with that!" She says now a bit tick off.

Kotonoha walk down the hall at a pretty fast pace. She didn't want people asking about her past. It was still fresh and the last thing she need was someone asking questions. The reason she came to Yagami was to forget everything as best she can. Friends right now were not on Kotonoha mind. But deep down she knew that she need one really bad. Being alone was destroying her internally. The nights alone were so unbearable and her sister wasn't there either. She knew that this was only going to get worse before it got better.

Kotonoha reaches the class and enters "I'm sorry for my rudeness." She bows to the teacher before sitting down. She could feel everyone eyes on her.

"What's her deal? If she was that sick why she even came to school?" she heard someone whisper two rows over.

"Who care she's really cute!" another voice said.

Kotonoha blocks out the voices and tries to do her work. Tenma at that moment came in and said that she was sorry for leaving class like that. She bows and walks back to her seat.

"What was that all about?" Mikoto asked.

"I'll tell you about it later." Tenma whispers back.

Kotonoha over heard that and thought coming to this school was a mistake. Soon there would be rumors flying around about her and she would always be reminded of what she left behind.

Class went on like any other day until lunch came along. "HARIMA!" someone yells running into the class.

Kotonoha was scared so bad at how sudden it was that she almost threw her book into the air.

Harima was standing by the window, he turns around "What the hell did I do now four eyes?" he asked annoyed.

"You very well know what you did! I should haft to explain myself to you!" Hanai yells rolling up his sleeves.

Harima raises a eye brow "No really…what did I do?" he asked curelessly.

Hanai stops "You know…I don't remember…ah forget it!" he says walking out the classroom.

"Really could they be any stupider?" Eri says.

"What's up with that new girl? She looks like she a hallow shell or something." Mikoto says as they all look over at Kotonoha. She was busy reading her book with a not so happy facial expression.

"I don't know…but she doesn't like talking about where she was from. She lashed out at me when I asked where she was from." Tenma says playing with her lunch.

"Just looking at her is making me feel depress." Eri says.

"I hope she gets better. She just too cute to be that sad." Mikoto says in a sorry tone.

The first day of school was something Kotonoha wish she could forget. Her depression seems to rub off on everyone around her. So everyone but the guys didn't like her too much. She walks off the school campus and head home. The place she was staying wasn't too far from the school. It was a small apartment complex that her parent thought was nice. She told her parents about the whole situation and they agreed it was best for her to leave the city to Yagami.

The apartment was really for high class citizens because it was fenced off and you need a password to get in. She stops at the gate and put in the password and went in. Kotonoha really liked the place it had a indoor swimming pool and hot tube. Plus free WiFi and a weight room that she would never use. There were a lot of trees and flowers around the place that made it look nice. She reaches her door and takes out her keys. It takes a couple seconds before she opens the door. Once inside she walks to her room and sets down her bag and undoes her ribbon. She changes into her shorts and tank top, and then she starts on her homework. So far she didn't like Yagami. But at the moment it didn't matter where she was, as long as she was away from Makoto Ito. She finishes very quickly and decides to do some reading. Reading took her away from reality and it made her feel a little better. But still it always came back to haunt her. She left without telling anyone but her sister and parents. So she just disappeared and left the town. Throwing away her old phone and getting a new one with a new number. In Kotonoha mind she was still in love with Makoto. But she knew that this was the right thing to do. Who knows what would have happened if she stayed.
