Start~
The October Monday air was crisp and clear as I walked in to home room. A red head asked me, "Hey, who are you?" Or at least, that's what I thought he said. He did but it was hard to understand.
Kyo POV
She just stood there like she was processing my question. She finally answered with very poor Chinese, "I'm New. My name is-"
"Class take your seats please, and stop talking." said the teacher.
She sat down. She stood out from everyone else. She didn't have a uniform yet so she wore a blue t-shirt and denim jeans. She was tall, had deep brown eyes, and dark brown hair. But, it was wet. Not I just took a shower wet. More along the lines of I went swimming wet. Then I zoned back in she was taking her seat again. I'd missed introductions AND her name... again! Then the teacher said that her locker would be next to me and Yuki's. Of course pretty boy got all classes with her! God! Damn rat!
"Kyo? Kyo are you paying attention?" asked the teacher.
"Oh, sorry I must have zoned out" I said.
Girls POV
He sounded grumpy or angry. Though I knew how to get him to smile! I had a plan... we just need to be alone...
Kyo POV
She turned around and smiled at me. She didn't look like she was from here, almost American, or Canadian, or something else, but defiantly not from here.
Yuki's POV
He seemed furious and happy and she looked like she had somthing planned and happy.
*6th period (study hall for Kyo and new girl)*
Kyo POV
I found a note in my locker after 3rd period. It said:
To Kyo, Meet me in the school green house by the Cat Tails and the White Lilies at 6th period.
No name. Just that. I was confused so I headed to the school green house. Truth be told, I didn't know we had a green house!
I went to were I was instructed. I sat on a rock and looked around. A girl appeared behind me though I couldn't tell who it was for it was dark under the elephant ear plants. Though when she spoke I could tell for her Chinese was shaky and uneven and kind of bad.
Girls POV
"I can tell you don't know my name. You zoned out, which is fine! I zone out all the time. Though there IS a reason I asked you to meet me here." I said struggling with my words. "One the spot. It's a piece of both of us. Two, to tell you something. Your not gonna believe me, I know that, but I'm sort of physic and I see darkness around your heart. I want to clear the darkness away."
Kyo POV
After she said she was physic, it made sense why she brought me near CAT tails, I think, but why White Lilies? I don't get it! I decided to speak. "I can believe it, but, what darkness? How would you clear it away?"
She replied by saying, "A darkness that does not allow you to love." She turned her head around and looked over towards the door. No one was there. She nodded her head ever so slightly and squeezed her hand when the lights flashed off. I felt something on my lips. Another pair. She was kissing me? Why?! No one loves me! When the lights flashed on after a good 20 seconds, she stopped kissing and we opened our eyes. Yuki was at the door. He saw us. DAMN RAT! Shoot now he's gonna be wondering why I was kissing the new girl! She didn't notice thankfully. And Yuki just smiled, gave a nod and walked away. I've never kissed anyone like this before. Then it hit me.
"Your name is Lilly, isn't it?" I asked
"Yes. It is. My last name is White. And you're a cat. Don't worry though. Akito already gave permission. I know about Yuki, sort of. The only reason I know is that when I was 4 years old, my best friends' cousin had been the lamb. Not any more though. He apparently died. The reason no one knew about me is that I lived in a different country. No one cared about an American girl knowing the secret. Not that I'm jealous of Tohru! I really don't care." she smiled and tilted her head. She seemed to be concentrating really hard.
I got up and reached out my hand to help her up. As she got up she slipped and started to plummet about 18 feet down towards more rocks. I did the thing that seemed appropriate at the time. I jumped off an 18 ft. cliff to save a girl I didn't know, and if I made any contact that resembled a hug, I would turn into a cat. Not realizing that last little detail I held her in a close embrace. We hit the rocks within moments. I looked at myself. I had no fur. I didn't transform!
"What the hell?"
She also looked confused. She looked at me. A tear rolled down her face. Only one. She stood up and ran away. I laid there, my body in pain. How could I be so stupid?! I didn't even ask if she was ok! I just said 'What the hell?' and she ran away!
Lilly's POV
How could I have been so stupid! He saved me and I couldn't even tell him the truth! I hit my self in the head "I'm such a dumb ass!"
"Lilly? What's the matter?" asked a soft, kind, charming voice that could only belong to the prince himself.
I jumped. "Oh. He he, nothing. It's nothing." I said. My body hurt all over.
"Umm, sorry if I sound nosey, but, what were you and Kyo doing?"
"Umm, we talked. By the way, when you see him, tell him to call this number." I handed him my phone number. That's when I collapsed.
"Lilly!" he bent down and tried to help me up.
"I'm fine. I'm fine." I say softly before he can get close.
"You're bleeding! Come on! We need to get you to the nurse!" says Yuki.
"I promise! I'M FINE!"
"Lilly, you're practically covered! It's showing threw your cloths! I'm getting a nurse!"
Five minutes later Yuki came back with the nurse and a wheel chair.
The nurse was American and we had a conversation in English. It was a relief to talk to someone easily. I told her how I fell, that's all. Then it hit me, "Wait, Ms. Hall?!"
"Lilly?! Oh my gosh! It's been quite some time! Hasn't it?"
"Your right! 4th grade! It's so nice to talk with some one I know in English!
"Yes, defiantly," Ms. Hall replied with a smile, "we should get you bandaged up!"
So I got bandages wrapped around my blood covered back and both arms. I had to use a wheel chair for the rest of the day. I was let out of class 5 minutes earlier so I could get to my next class on time. And then came 9th period. I had to return to homeroom. As I wheeled in Kyo turned his head and tears welled up in his eyes. None fell. He looked angry.
Kyo POV
I can't believe it! Was it my fault? It had to have been my fault! I'm such an idiot!
"Kyo?"
"Huh? Oh, hi Lilly." Then she leaned out of her wheel chair and hugged me. Again, I didn't transform. I hugged back for once. It was awesome being able to hug some one.
Yuki's POV
I might hate him, but it was nice to see him happy. He deserves it. "Umm, Lilly?"
"Huh? Oh, yes Yuki?"
"How's your back?" I ask.
"It kinda stings but nothing too bad! Ms. Hall said I'll be out of this wheel chair by Wednesday!" she smiled brightly. That caused Kyo to half smile. I smiled along with them.
Lilly's POV
"Oh my god what happened?" asked an unfamiliar voice with a familiar face.
"Tohru Honda. I'm glad to have finally met you! I'm Lilly! I slipped off a rock in the green house and fell, like, 18 feet!"
"And you're not in the hospital? N-not that I would want you to be! And how do you know me?"
"Well, Kyo saved me! He jumped and caught me. And about knowing you, only time will tell." Tohru looked at Kyo with a worried face. He shook his head. "Oh, and Tohru, I know" I said winking. I smiled and she just stood there for a sec until she realized what I meant.
When she figured it out she just said, "Oh! Okay! I didn't think you knew! Are you related to the Sohmas?"
"Again, it will reveal itself with time." I smiled and left them puzzled.
