Snow Child

Yukiko Sohma sat in her new room with all her possessions piled around her in boxes. Her family had just sold their house in Osaka and moved back 'home'.

"Yukiko, sweetheart," Sienna Sohma said opening the door, "We're going to get a pizza, what would you like?"

"Not hungry."

"C'mon baby, you can't stay mad at us forever."

"Really?" Yukiko said standing up, "Who said?"

"Alright, you win. Stay up here and brood." Sienna said shutting the door.

"What ever." Yukiko said sitting back down on the bed and grabbing the nearest box. When she opened it she found the presents her friends had given her. Jammie, the drama major/ best friend whose real name was Yuriko, had given her the hat she had made when she played Elphaba in the school performance of Wicked. Lauren, the dance major from America and the voice of reason for the group, gave her the locket that she was wearing when her partner dropped off the stage her and she didn't hurt her ankle. Jason, (real name Rei) was her lovable band mate and fellow music major with a big ego, and had put a picture of their band and both of their guitar picks in the frame he and Tomati had designed. Tomati, their awkward photography major, had given her his other digital camera saying he still wanted to put pictures of her in his show even if she wasn't in Osaka. And then there was a gift wrapped package that they wouldn't let her open at her party. The little tag said 'DO NOT OPEN UNTIL UNPACKED (OR EXTREAMLY HOME SICK.)'. Yukiko tore a hole in the side of the wrapping and pulled out a plain white box. When she opened the box she found another box, this one was obvious that the girls had gotten a holed of because there was glitter and paint and calligraphy and stickers all over it, with a letter on top, and the envelope read: Home sick? Read me!

Yukiko was about to open her letter when her father, Yuu, knocked on her door,

"Keiko?" He asked, "Can I come in?"

"It's open."

"Hey," He stepped in and set a cellophane wrapped package on her dresser, "The umm… school uniform, I picked it up for you."

"Thanks Dad," Yukiko said half heartedly.

"Umm… are you sure you want the boys uniform?"

"Yes Dad." she said with a light chuckle, "If I have to where one I'm going to where pants."

"Alright." Yuu said a small smile turning up the corners of is mouth, "Pizza's here if you want some."

"I'm not hungry."

"I'll leave some in the microwave." He said he knew his daughter would rather kill than be in the same room with her mom right now. "I'll let you know when she goes to bed; you can come down for it then."

"Thanks Dad." She said crossing the room and hugging him.

"Good night, Keiko."

"'night Daddy."

As he shut the door Yukiko walked back to her bed, she picked up the envelope and opened it carefully. Jammie's ghastly chicken scratch, that only Yukiko was ever capable of reading, was first; it read:

Hey Keiko!!!!

If you're reading this it has to be because you're homesick. Well here's what I have to say to that… STOP IT!!! You know we all love you and the reason we all helped you move, through you a party and wrote these letters is because we love you and we wanted you to smile and run your butt (which, as a side note, is TOTALLY not big you have a cute butt and if we ever go through another butt crisis and have to have the guys rate our butts again I'm gonna strangle you and laugh as they drag me away to the loony bin.) back to Osaka when you miss us. No tears for you, just call me and I'll wake every one up and we'll have a five way conversation until three in the morning like we did when Lauren was visiting her family because her grandpa died and her family was doing nothing but depressing her. Ok sweetheart? I loooooooovvvvvvve you! Call me soon 'kay? Bu-Bye. Lub, Jammiekins.

P.S. BABY'S COME FROM BALLS OF YARN!!!!! (If you're not laughing at that then you need to call me NOW 'cause you need some serious friend therapy.)

Yukiko fell off her bed because she was laughing so hard, she had completely forgotten about the time they had improved the 'where do babies come from?' question asked by Jason's little brother. She was about to start the next letter when her dad came in,

"Babe are you ok? I herd a thump."

"I'm fine Dad I fell off the bed, I was laughing."

"Alright, you're mom went to bed, and so am I. You need to go soon, you have school tomarrow."

"Alright Dad. See you tomarrow."

"'Night."

"Tight."

"Bight."

"Excuse me?!?"

"Darn you won." Yukiko said putting on a fake pout.

"Go to bed."

"Yes, sir."

Yuu shut the door and went back down stairs, Yukiko opened the package that was her new school uniform. This was SO not going to be Osa Arts. Never in her life had Yukiko had to where a uniform, and the only time her classes where inside were when it was raining. Well as a silver lining, at lest she was in class with Yuki and Kyo. Ahh… who was she kidding, this was going to suck.
