Chapter 1: Strange Foreigners

Two figures stood upon the highest point of the city, overlooking all its features and the nightlife bustling about.

""Good ol' Japan!"" said a female voice from the two. ""We haven't been there in ages!""

"Yeah. Japan's the top of technology nowadays y'know. Can you believe it? My little Japan…" sighed a male voice coming from the other figure.

""Agh! I hate it when you talk in Japanese. Well, I guess it's time to work. Who's our target on this mission?"" the female voice asked.

"The Sohmas."

"Thank you!" Tohru said smiling to the person at her cashier. The person smiled back as Tohru picked up her two bags of groceries and left through the automatic doors.

It was all in all a nice day. Only about an hour ago it was that the school bell rang for school to be out. The streets were not quite in rush hour yet, but there were still plenty of people running around everywhere. Yuki-kun was staying after school for student council matters and Kyo-kun was at Shishou-san's house for a little practice. Of course, Tohru thought Shigure-san was working hard at home to make his next deadline for his editor. And so, Tohru was alone for the afternoon.

A little ways down on the sidewalk, something caught Tohru's eye. The color of a brilliant blonde in the sunlight! Momiji? No…the hair was much too long for Momiji's hair. Tohru looked at whom the hair was attached to. It was a girl who looked about her own age. She was yelling at a boy who also looked about her age. They were yelling at each other in a different language. Foreigners? But…the boy the girl was yelling at looked Japanese. How strange. Tohru stopped walking and tried to understand what they were saying, but they were speaking much too fast! She was never very good at English.

""Bloody 'ell Gotenmaru! You said that you knew where you were going!" the blonde girl yelled.

""Oh c'mon! Give me a break! I haven't been here for year!"" the boy yelled back.

The two's arguing began to attract the attention of other passers – by. There was plenty of staring and whispering.

""Um…you…lost?"" Tohru said slowly, trying to remember the few words she knew of English.

""Yes! Yes we are!"" This was the girl, who seemed to still be in a bad mood and consequently ended up almost blowing out poor Tohru's ear.

"I'm sorry Miss. Please forgive my friend. She has a horrible temper today and cannot be bothered with," the boy said to her, suddenly switching from extremely angry to extremely polite. Surprisingly, he said it in Japanese too. Tohru felt extremely relieved at this fact.

"I can speak Japanese too y'know!" the blonde girl then said.

"Yes, yes, Shelly. I know that. Now, Miss, do you happen to know where Kaibara High School is?"

"Kaibara High School? That's the high school I go to!" Tohru said happily waving her arms up and down. "It's down the road over there, and then a left, and then there are signs that will point the rest of the way." Tohru smiled to have accomplished in helping someone.

The boy smiled back. "Thank you very much." His smile then dropped into an annoyed frown when he looked at his companion.""C'mon Shelly,"" he said dragging the girl off.

Tohru waved good-bye to the strange couple, and then her smile dropped to a panic. It was supposed to be a 'right' instead of a 'left' turn! She tried yelling for them to come back, but:

A) They were too far off and

B) the rush hour of people had started to come in.

Tohru came back home a bit discouraged that day. Here she was at the beginning of her last year of high school and she had most likely managed to get two foreigners (or at least one of them was a foreigner) even more lost than they had been before. She cooked dinner in this daze and ended up burning her finger. Shigure was in his study 'working very hard', and Kyo was surprisingly still at Shishou-san's.

When Yuki had come home, he immediately noticed the bandage Tohru had on her finger as well as the troubled expression on her face.

"Honda-san, what's wrong?" Yuki said.

Tohru suddenly panicked immediately and thought Yuki was indicating her finger. "Um..ah…It's just a small thing! I carelessly burned my finger! Silly of me, huh?"

"Not your finger. I mean…you look like something's bothering you."

"Oh…well…that it..." she trailed off.

She explained what had happened with the foreigners and then started panicking about whether or not she had gotten them lost.

Yuki sighed. "I'm sure they're fine. If they're just looking for the high school, I'm sure there are maps closer to the school. They both speak Japanese, right? As long as you pointed to the right street, it should be ok." He smiled at how cute she could get when she panicked.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure."

The very next morning at school in homeroom class, Tohru was back to being her happy self again (with minor depressions of things that were still nagging her, such as breaking the Sohma curse and the things Kureno-san had told her before, Kyo's last year in high school etc.).

"Everybody sit down and be quiet!" Mayuko-sensei said as everyone quickly returned to their seats from talking to others. "I've got an announcement. We just received two new exchange students from America."

The students murmured. "Wow!" "America? Does that mean they're Yankees?" "I hope they're cute guys!" "Why is Mayuko-sensei still our teacher?"

"QUIET!" The murmuring stopped. "Anyways, I want to remind you all to not be rude and remind you that yes, they do speak fluent Japanese. They actually used to live in Japan also. Don't try to pull anything stupid," Mayuko-sensei said giving her students the 'I-don't-take-any-crap' look.

The door slid open. Two figures walked in; a girl with long blonde hair and a boy with short black hair. "Class, please welcome Elizabeth and Gotenmaru Naoto."

Aren't those the foreigners…from yesterday?

A/N: I'm so proud of myself! I actually wrote another fanfic! I'll still add to my other one, but I have to do things at the same time so that they'll be good (if that makes any sense...)

We all know that Shigure isn't really in his study working hard. He's hiding from his editor somewhere. And as for the things I said that Tohru was minorly depressed about, eh...it's either a spoiler for you or a twist from me. Hah. You'll find out sooner or later. Well, actually, one of the depression causes was revealed in...hmm...Volume 10 was it? No wait...9? I don't remember. One of those two though I think.
