It`s a normal day in the life of Kaylee Kazuko. She has just got back from being tortured all day by the bratty preps at school. She lives by herself since she was disowned by her family. Problem is, she lives in a forest and her bed is a tree.

Kaylee`s POV

Ugh I hate going to that damn school! It`s like they have nothing better to do than make fun of me. I swear I need a break. Well I might as well train since I have nobody to hang out with.

My training although is not fighting. It`s learning to control my elemental powers.

I change into my training clothes, a pair of black leggings and a white spaghetti strap tank top. As I'm walking through the forest to the river, where I train, I run into a girl with brown hair and thin blue bows in her hair wearing a school uniform. She dropped some bags and they were everywhere.

"OH MY GOSH IM SO SORRY!" I say. You see I`m shy around new people.

"Oh no it`s alright, really." the girl said in a calm voice. Wow she`s really polite.

"Thanks but I`m sorry about the bags. Here let me help." I say as she`s picking up the bags. We pick up the bags and I help her carry them to wherever the lives.

"Thanks for helping me back there. Oh by the way I`m Tohru Honda, nice to meet you!" Tohru said.

"Um, no problem. And I`m Kaylee Kazuko, nice to meet you too!" I exclaimed to my new friend.

We walk for a little while then we came to a house in the middle of the forest I live in. It looked like one of the traditional ones from the old days. It looked like the house I use to live in.

"Oh hello Ms. Honda. I see you brought a friend with you." Said a boy with deep purple eyes. The boy looked abut as old as me but a little bit older, maybe 16.

"Hello Yuki, and yes this is my friend, Kaylee Kazuko." Tohru said introducing me. Yuki looked at me as if to ask me if she was telling the truth about me.

"Um, hello." I said quietly, my shyness coming back. Oh joy, no wonder I can`t make friends.

"Hello Ms. Kazuko, nice to meet you too, and I`m Yuki Sohma" said the boy named Yuki

"Tohru, is that you?" said a voice from another room. I figured another person who lives in the house. Then a man with black hair and glasses on came into the room.

"Yes it`s me Shigure." confirmed Tohru. Oh so that`s his name.

"Well, well, well who is this beauty here." He said sweetly, making me blush since nobody has ever called me that before. Then Yuki hit him with a thick book, most likely a dictionary. I giggled a little bit but not very much and not very loud.

"I`m Kaylee Kazuko, nice to meet you." I say introducing myself and lending a hand to help him up. He takes my hand and I pull him up.

"Well, mighty polite to. Hmm if you were ten years older I would ask you out. I`m Shigure Sohma by the way." He said trying to be flirty. From what he said I took a guess he was around 25-27 years old. I blush then I feel something in my stomach. Oh no, not now. I clench my stomach and kneel over feeling like I`m about to puke. I try to run to the door. I get out and run to the forest and when I`m sure nobody is looking, I throw up but not puke or anything like that. I puke up fire and leave a spot where the fire burned the grass. As soon as I`m done I feel relief. I walk back to the house and I see everyone outside with worried faces. Great now I bet they think I`m weird.

"Hey Kaylee what was that about?" asked Tohru with the worried expression still on her face.

"Um…" I say because I can`t think of an excuse.

"I think your sick Ms. Kazuko, you should lie down for a while." says Yuki.

"Um, no I`m fine really, no need for that!" I exclaim a little loud because now they look even more concerned.

"Ok… but if that happens again you are lying down." commanded Shigure.

Then all of a sudden, I hear a rustle in the bushes. On instinct I turn and get into fighting position. Then out of the bushes a boy with fiery orange hair and red eyes emerges. I instantly blush because he looks kinda cute to me. I lower my fighting stance and I fall shy again because I start touching my pointing fingers together.

"Yo guys what`s going on I heard Shigure use his commanding voice?" asked the boy he looked a little older than me as well, probably around 16 years old. Then he notices me and I turn away from his gorgeous eyes.

"Hey, who is this?" asked the boy pointing at me.

"First of all, you don't point, Kyo. Second this is Kaylee Kazuko. She came here with Ms. Honda." Yuki said ordering him and introducing me. Wow, Kyo that`s a cool name to me. But here I go with my shyness. Great I can`t even talk to Kyo. I wish I wasn`t so shy.

"Uh… yea that`s my name, Kaylee Kazuko, nice to meet you." I reply quietly, almost inaudible.

"Whatever you damn rat, I`m going back to where I was before all this nonsense." Kyo told everyone then leaving from where he came from. It looked like. Wow, he can be rude, he didn't even reply to what I said. I guess he thinks I`m weird.

"Don`t worry about him Kaylee. He just has a bit of a temper." explained Shigure.

"Ok I guess. But what did he mean by rat?" I ask curious to why Kyo called Yuki a rat. Everyone looks at each other and then back to me.

"Um… it`s just an insult he uses when he`s referring to Yuki." Tohru exclaimed really quickly, a little too quickly for my liking. I`m starting to get suspicious but I let it slide for now. Then all of a sudden I let out a big yawn, wow was I tired, I didn`t even train.

"Are you tired Kaylee? If you want you could sleep at the house for the night." offered Shigure politely.

"No, I wouldn`t want to burden you or anyone else with my company." I say looking down, thinking of that Kyo boy and sleeping at his house.( no not like that you perverts.)

"No really I insist." offered Shigure once again. It keeps going on for a while and Tohru and Yuki keep watching. I finally give in after a while.

"Ok, but only if it`s ok with everyone." I explain. Everyone said it was ok, all except Kyo who wasn`t there. I doubt he would let a stranger stay for the night. I just pretend to forget about him and I walk into the house with everyone. After a while of talking, Tohru went to cook dinner. I decide to help her make sushi, rice and green beans.

"Hey Kaylee, can you go get Kyo from the roof and tell him dinners ready?" asks Tohru washing her hands. Oh great I have to talk to him.

"Ok I guess…" I say after she gets done washing her hands. I head out and around the house and I see a ladder. I climb up the ladder to the roof and I see Kyo laying down. I think he`s asleep. I crawl over to him and shake him gently but he doesn`t wake up. I shake him slightly harder and he stirs but still doesn't wake. Again I shake him but harder than before and call his name softly he stirs again, but this time his eyes open.

"What do you want?" he asks rather rudely.

"I`m here to get you for dinner." I say with slight hurt in my voice from his rudeness.

"Oh, ok I`ll be down in a minute." he says sounding slightly annoyed from me disturbing his slumber. Great now he made me feel bad. I jump down from the roof instead of using the ladder because it was faster but far more dangerous. I head inside the house and I see everyone at the table talking but no plates. I decide to fix the plates, so I head into the kitchen, fix five plates. I probably looker weird with two on each arm and one on my head. I head into the dining room and I see Kyo at the table, looks like he finally decided to join. I set one down in front of each of them and put the leftover one I had on my spot on the table.

"Thanks Ms. Kazuko." says Yuki taking a bite from his plate.

"You're very welcome Yuki." I say happy someone besides Tohru notices me and doesn`t hit on me like Shigure. We all eat and talk for about an hour, except for Kyo who is just sitting there with a thinking look on his face. I take all the plates to the kitchen and rinse them off then head back to the table. Funny, Kyo`s not there anymore.

"Hey guys, where`s Kyo?" I ask getting their attention.

"He went to his room for some reason." said Tohru being helpful.

"Oh, ok I guess he must be tired." I state trying to guess why he went to bed so early. I take my place at the table and we start talking again. After a while everyone gets tired and head to their bedrooms. I guess since Tohru is the only girl here I sleep in her room. We head to her room and she tosses me a blanket and a pillow to sleep with. We lay down and soon after she falls asleep. I lay there wondering what to do since everyone`s asleep. I know, I can train! I get up and make sure everybody`s asleep and head out the door to my training area in the forest near the river. I find the river nearby and I start to walk onto the water after I took my clothes off so they won`t get wet.

Kyo`s POV

Man why can`t I sleep? Ever since that girl came along I haven`t been myself lately. Oh well I might as well go for a walk to get that girl off my mind. I start to walk into the forest and I come across a river. I walk alongside it for a while but after a little bit I see something out of the ordinary. A girl walking on…water? Whoa, now she`s bending the water with her hands?!

"Hey! Are you-" I try to climb on a rock on the riverside but I fall in. MAN I HATE WATER DAMNIT! I look up but the girl is gone. Great I scared her off. Nice going Kyo, not only did you not meet her, but now you`re soaking wet, you clutz. After standing there for a little while I decide she isn`t coming back so I head home to sleep. I go into the house and I head to my room. On the way I pass Tohru`s room. I decide to make sure she and her friend are safe. But when I look in there, the girl, Kaylee I think, is not on her pallet. Hmm I wonder where she went. Maybe….. nah that`s ridiculous. I close the door and head to my room and soon I drift off thinking of the girl on the river.

Kaylee`s POV

OMG KYO JUST SAW ME TRAIN AND BEND THE WATER! OH NO THAT`S BAD FOR ME. I just hope he didn`t recognize me. He stands there for a while after he scared me and I ran away. He finally leaves and I get my clothes and head back to the house. As I go through the window he opens the door. I instinctively jump out the window and wait for him to leave. I hear the door close and I go back into the room, lay down and think about Kyo and soon I feel sleepiness consuming m e and I fall asleep dreaming about a certain boy nearby.
