"Damn punk!"

This shout made all the customers look up in surprise. What they saw was this: A very angry looking boy with orange hair that was now dripping wet, a smirking gangish looking girl holding an empty water bottle, another boy with silver hair laughing quietly behind his hand, a scary looking black-haired girl holding a pink bikini, and a worried looking girl saying, "What's wrong Kyo-kun? What happened?"

"WHAT HAPPENED! THAT YANKEE THUG EMPTIED HER WATER BOTTLE ON ME, AFTER I TOLD HER THAT I HATE WATER!"

"Well I couldn't resist after he told me that," Uo said, tossing her now empty bottle in the nearest trashcan.

"Please stop shouting Kyo," Yuki stopped laughing and had his usual cool expression. "You're making a scene and it's embarrassing for me."

"You damn rat! Today's the day that I take you DOWN!" Kyo shouted and he threw random a punch at Yuki. Yuki dodged and kicked Kyo into the one-piece rack. Uo and Hana stared at Yuki with surprised, and confused, expressions.

"Wow," Uo said. "Princey boy sure knows how to knock 'em down!"

"…"

Tohru sighed. They had only been going on a simple shopping trip to find her an affordable swimsuit since she had lost the one everyone had so kindly given her before. They were so thoughtful to give her a present and what had she done? She had gone and lost it! Tohru hung her head and sighed again. Everyone was immediately concerned for her.

"What's wrong Honda-san?" Yuki asked concernedly.

"Oh nothing! I was just thinking that it was so careless of me to lose the present that you all so kindly gave to me!" Tohru exclaimed.

"Don't worry about it Tohru. We offered to buy you another one but you refused,"

"Oh! I couldn't make you buy me another present after I lost the first one Hana-chan!" Tohru exclaimed, getting flustered. Yuki smiled. How like her. She's making a simple present seem like the biggest gift anyone could ever receive.

"Anyways, why don't you try on the swim-suit Hana-chan picked out for you? It was on clearance so you should be able to buy it," Uo said, handing Tohru the swimsuit.

"Okay! Right away!" Tohru said going into the changing rooms.

A fuming Kyo came out of the one-piece rack. "Hey!" he said. "Where did Tohru go?"

"She went to change. Really Kyo, you're so stupid. How could you not hear what Uo-san just said to her?" Yuki asked him.

"Shut up! I was getting myself untangled from the swimsuits! I couldn't hear what that bitch was telling Tohru!"

"That or you never pay attention," Yuki said.

"Awww…is orangey still mad about the getting a little wet?" Uo asked while smirking.

"Shut up bitch!" Kyo shouted while glaring at her.

"Kyo-kun what's wrong?" Tohru had come out of the changing room to hear Kyo calling Uo a 'bitch' and was concerned.

"Oh, Tohru. It was nothing. So did it fit?" Uo asked, not even giving Kyo a chance to speak. Kyo fumed at this too, but didn't say anything.

"Yup! It fits perfectly! And I can afford it!" Tohru said happily.

"That's good. Now let's go pa…"

"I'm done!" rang through the store and cut Hana off. The manager off the store shook her head. So many loud shoppers today. That might ward off potential buyers.

"Which ones did you like Shiraka-san?" a middle-aged woman asked the girl.

"Almost all of them! These two didn't fit though," the girl replied dropping a white bikini with polka dots and a green and blue striped bikini on the counter. She was a very pretty girl with long black hair and bright purple eyes. She was wearing a light purple tank top that matched her eyes, and a white skirt with purple flip-flops. " I won't take those two," she said. "And I will take these." She lifted a large stack of swimsuits onto the counter. The counter lady stared in shock. "All of those!" she asked in surprise.

"Sure!" the girl replied smiling.

"Okay then…that'll be $267.90 ma'am" the counter lady said, still surprised. "But are you sure you're old enough to use a credit card?"

"Nope!" the girl said. "But that's okay!" She pulled out her wallet and counted out the money.

"Here's your change ma'am," the counter lady said. "Thank you!" the girl said and took her bag and change. Everyone in the store was staring at the girl. Who was she? Why was she so rich? Tohru, though, seemed to be in a state of shock. "Shi…ra…chan?" she said slowly. The girl turned around to face Tohru and the gang, as if noticing them for the first time. "Ahhhhh!" she shrieked and then ran and hugged Tohru.

"Tohru-chan! What are you doing here? Oh! I'm so glad to see you again!"

"Shira-chan! I'm glad to see you too! What are you doing here? I thought you went back to America!"

"I did, but I wanted to come here again so here I am! Oh my god! How have you been?"

"Oh I've been fine! How are you and you're family?"

As they continued like this, Kyo, Yuki, Uo, Hana, and the middle aged woman all stared in shock.

"Ummm…Tohru? Do you know her?" Kyo finally asked her.

"Oh yes! This is Shiraka Ikiru! She was my best friend from preschool till third grade when she moved to America."

They all said "Oh" in unison. They were still in some state of shock from the fact that Tohru knew this rich girl. The middle-aged woman was just in shock…because she was.

"Oh Tohru-chan!" Shiraka suddenly exclaimed. "How come you never pick up the phone when I called you? And you never returned my emails or letters either! Why Tohru-chan? Did you not want to be friends with me anymore?"

"No! It's not that!" Tohru exclaimed. "You see…my mother and I got a house awhile after you moved away. And we didn't have a computer and our phone number changed too. And then I moved around to…different places. I lived at Grandpa's, and theninatent, and now I live with Shigure-san, Yuki-kun, and Kyo-kun! I'm so sorry I never contacted you back!"

"Oh it's okay now that I understand…wait! Did you just say you lived in a tent!" Shiraka exclaimed horrified. "Umm...yah. But only for a week." Tohru said meekly. "And that was a long time ago!"

"You lived in a tent for a whole week!" Shiraka exclaimed. "What was Kyoko-san thinking! Why did she let you live in a tent?"

"…"

"Mom died before that," Tohru explained.

"…"

"Oh my god! I'm so sorry Tohru! I had no idea!" Shiraka said. "That's horrible! Oh my poor Tohru!" She gave Tohru a hug. "But she was a good mother and taught you what you needed to know."

"Thank you Shira-chan," Tohru said.

"But why didn't you live with one of your relatives?" Shiraka asked pulling away. "Surely one of them could have taken you in, couldn't they?"

"I did live with Grandpa, but he had to remodel his house so I lived in a tent for a week."

"Oh okay, but then where are you living now?" Shiraka asked. She was not going to let her friend stay in a tent now that she was there!

"I live with Shigure-san, Yuki-kun, and Kyo-kun!" Tohru exclaimed happily.

"…umm…who?"

"Oh that's right! You haven't met them yet!" Tohru said, getting ready for introductions.

"Shira-chan, this is Kyo Sohma," she said. "Kyo-kun, Shiraka Ikiru. Shira-chan, Yuki Sohma. Yuki-kun, Shiraka Ikiru.

"Umm..Honda-san?" Yuki interrupted. "I don't think you have to keep introducing her to us."

"Oh! Okay!" Tohru said and then finished up the introductions. "Shira-chan, Saki Hanajima and Arisa Uotani. Or Hana-chan and Uo-chan."

"I'm pleased to meet you all," Shiraka said to them all. "But where is this Shigure-san?"

"Oh, he's at home," Tohru told her. " You have to come to our home and meet him!"

Yuki and Kyo sweat dropped.

"Umm…Honda-san? That might not be such a good idea…"

"What the hell were you thinking? You can't just invite people to our house!"

"Shira-chan can't come?" Tohru asked, her eyes getting all watery.

"Well I guess this time…"

"Of course I can come!" Shiraka interrupted. "I have to check out your living conditions! What kind of friend do you think I am? And I will have to find out more about the people you live with and their entire family! If I find them unsuitable, you can come and live with me at my house!"

Everyone sweat dropped at that.

"Uh…Shira-chan, may I call you that?" Yuki asked politely.

"Of course you can!" Shiraka said smiling.

"Uh…well…wouldn't you have to ask your parents to invite somebody to come and live with you all at they're house?"

"My parents are in America. And I asked them when I was there if I could invite Tohru-chan to live with me if I found her here!"

Everyone sweat dropped some more. They were all covered in sweat by now.

"Your parents didn't come to Japan with you? Whom do you live with then?" Uo asked this crazy girl.

"I live with my body guard, my caretaker, my personal tutor, my driver, a cook, and some maids." She replied. "And yes, my parents and my brother didn't come with me."

"You have a brother?" Tohru exclaimed. "I never knew that! How old is he?"

"He's 6 years old. He is 10 years younger than me."

Yuki did a double take at that.

"Did you say he's 10 years younger than you? So you're his older sister by 10 years?"

"Yup!"

"Oh god…"

"What?" Shiraka asked confused. Was that such a bad thing? Then she remembered something and forgot all about Yuki's strange behavior. "Oh I almost forgot! I'd like to introduce you all to my caretaker, Anata Okayu." She said to everyone, motioning to the middle-aged woman who had been silent till now.

"We have to get going back to the house now Shira-san," Anata said.

"Okay!" Shiraka said smiling. "But before I forget, what school do you go to Tohru-chan?"

"Kaibara High School. Why?"

"I'll transfer there so that we can see each other more often! And I'll have to get a house closer to the school. Can I come by your house later today or should I come tomorrow?"

"Eh? Oh! I guess you should come tomorrow because I have to ask Shigure-san if it would be okay if you came."

"I'm sure he won't mind!" Shiraka said enthusiastically. "But I have to go to the school and apply, so I'll do that today. Tomorrow it is! Until then!" Shiraka gave Tohru a hug, waved to everybody, and left.

"Well…Hana said.

"She seems like a nice girl, but we have to be careful when she comes over tomorrow," Yuki told Tohru.

"Why?" Uo asked.

"Um…well…because…the house is dirty!" Tohru exclaimed triumphantly.

Everyone sweat dropped.

"What does that have to do with being careful?" Uo asked.

"It means we have to go and clean it! Right now," Kyo said and pulled Tohru along behind him. Yuki followed leaving two very confused girls behind.
