Kyo Sohma stared at the whiteboard blankly. It was such a nice day outside, but here he was cooped up inside a small and stuffy classroom. The teacher was talking about some new student that just arrived. Wait what? New student? Kyo's ears perked up as he sat up straighter.

"The new student's from Greece and her name is Kai Sohma," said Mayuko-sensei, reading it off the student profile paper. A murmur went around the class. Another Sohma? Interesting. "Yo, people! Quiet down!" said Mayuko-sensei loudly, banging on the table. Immediately, silence fell over the class only to be broken by the door slamming open by a very out of breath girl.

The class all looked at her. She flushed slightly and came in. "Sorry I'm late sensei," said the girl with a bow. Mayuko nodded and pushed to the centre of the class. "Introduce yourself,"

"Hi, I'm Kai Sohma. I just came back from Greece, It's good to be back in Japan," said Kai with a warm smile. Kyo felt a blanket warmth warp around him as soon as he saw that smile. She reminded him of Tohru in a way but not quite. He just couldn't put his finger on it.

"Right then, now that the introductions are done we need to choose your guide," said Mayuko-sensei. The class remained in silence. A few people glanced around to see who would volunteer themselves. Suddenly, Kyo pushed his chair back and stood up. "I'll do it," he said clearly. He himself had no idea what he just did but Mayuko merely shrugged and said "Well don't just stand there. Come over and seat her next to you,"

He walked towards Kai and she looked him straight in the eye with a warm smile to go with it. "Hey, I'm Kyo Sohma," he said in a friendly manner. Very un-Kyo like. Kai smiled at him and bowed. Soon enough, they got talking and somehow Kyo had a nagging feeling about Kai. Like he's met her before.

Yuki Sohma watched his cousin quietly. Did his cousin eat something wrong this morning? Somehow, he seemed nicer today than any other day. Has the world gone mental? "Honda-san, do you think that something wrong with Kyo today?' asked Yuki to the brunette next to him.

She smiled at Yuki and replied in her usual polite manner " I don't think so Sohma-san. Could it be that Kyo-kun is in love?" Yuki frowned. That hardheaded and hot-tempered cat in love? It was hard to believe but still, anything was possible.

"What're you two discussing so intently about?" came the loud and rough voice of Uotani Arisa as she dragged her chair to Yuki's table to join the conversation. "We're talking about the possibility of Kyo-kun in love with Kai-san," answered Tohru excitedly. Uo raised her brows and she turned to get a better view of carrot top.

"Him? In love?" she asked. She watched the way he spoke to the new girl with a gentle and friendly demeanor. "It seems possible now that you look at it," she commented.

What has this world come to? Thought Yuki in shock.

BREAK TIME:

"So anyways, this is the cafeteria and the nurse's office is just there. And that concludes the school tour," said Kyo with a flourish. Kai laughed and clapped. "Good job, tour guide!" she teased, tugging at Kyo's orange locks. She and him hit off the moment they started talking. Kai felt sad that Kyo didn't remember who she was. "So, where are we going now Kyo?" she asked. Kyo had allowed her to call his name without any honorifics and she felt honored.

Kyo wrapped his hand around her wrist gently and pulled her along answering with a "You'll see,"

"How nice to meet you Kai!!" said Momiji cheerfully as her greeted the new girl like a long lost friend. Kai smiled and replied "Same here," She felt dizzy watching the tall and dashing looking teen jump around like a little 6-year-old. Just like how Kyo was last time, she thought absently.

She was seated between Kyo who was getting annoyed with Momiji, and a somber looking Hatsuharu. Her mind wandered to the past.


FLASHBACK:

A young 6-year-old Kai chased after Kyo while the air was filled with their happy laughter and shrieks. "Can't catch me slowpoke!!" shouted Kyo gleefully as he dodged Kai's frantic attempts to tag him. Kai laughed "Oh Kyo! Look! It's Kagura!" Kyo almost lost his footing and Kai used that split second to tag him. "Hahah! See? I tagged you!"

Kyo sat on the grass sulkily. "You cheated!" Kai grinned and sat next to him. "I did not!" They glared at each other for a while and 5 seconds later they were lying down on the grass laughing at some jokes. Their hands intertwined together.

"Kyo?" said Kai seriously for a moment.

"Yes Kai?"

"When I leave next year, promise me you'll keep in touch with me,"

"I promise! I'll write to you very single day!"

Kai giggled and they smiled at each other. "Can I tell you a story Kai?" asked Kyo. She nodded and listened.

"My mother passed away not too long ago. Around that time, everyone blamed me for it. Only Shishou didn't and he took me in. Every night he would tell me 'Kyo, don't be sad. Because somewhere out there, there's a little girl just like you. She has to wear the same bracelet you're wearing so she won't transform. One day you'll meet her' I believed my Shishou and I prayed hard that I'd meet that girl. Then one day you came, I could feel something tie us together and I was happy. You're my friend Kai and I love you," said Kyo slowly as he looked up at the blue sky.

Kai's grip on his hand tightened and she smiled. "I love Kyo too, and i'll never ever forget you," Kyo smiled at his friend and said "Best Friends Till The End,"

END FLASHBACK.


"Kai? Are you okay?" asked 17-year-old Kyo back in the present. She snapped out of her daze and smiled reassuringly. "I'm fine Kyo," He nodded but looked at her worriedly for a moment before looking away.

Something about Kai Sohma stirred a fuzzy memory in him. I'll go see Shishou later tonight, he thought determinedly. Maybe he could help me. If it was anything Kyo needed help with, his Shishou would be the first person he'd go talk too.
