Day One
Second semester was just beginning, and no one was excited about the return from winter vacation. It had only been one month since Kelsey, Marissa, and Lisa had stumbled upon the Sohma secret and had their memories erased. Everything seemed to have returned to normal for the three.
Kelsey, Lisa, and their friend Quincy went to the Gym room to get their schedules for the new semester. They split up to find their separate ones, and met up several minutes later to compare classes. The three friends were thrilled to find that they shared three of their classes.
Period 3 – Home Economics…………….Ayame Sohma
Period 4 –English Honors……………….Shigure Sohma
Period 7 – Biology Honors………………Hatori Sohma
Lisa and Kelsey had already passed Biology and Quincy had taken Home Ec. the year before. Obviously something was very wrong with the schedules. Honestly though, the three girls were too lazy to actually go to the Guidance Office to fix things. So, they prepared themselves for a very mixed up semester.

Period 3
Kelsey, Lisa, and Quincy walked into their Home Ec. classroom and froze in shock. The walls were painted a garish pink and covered in dress patterns and other frilly things. They exchanged a frightened look and took their seats in the back of the room.
Finally the bell rang and a Japanese man came out of the back room. He wore a Chinese style coat decorated in beautiful swirls and flowers, and his long silver hair was pulled back into a braid.
"Gay," Lisa decided immediately.
"Hello! My name is Ayame Sohma and I will be your Home Economics instructor."
"Yup. Definitely gay," Lisa nodded.
"Now, today all I would like to do is learn your names and decide where you will be sitting. We'll start with the front of the class."
He went through the list of names, hesitating oddly after Kelsey and Lisa introduced themselves. After the introductions were done he assigned seats, making sure Kelsey and Lisa were seated in the two desks closest to his. They turned to grin at each other and he suddenly pulled a curtain between their desks. After that, the general consensus was that the Home Ec. teacher was certifiably insane.
After everyone was in their seats, someone walked into the classroom late. It was Michael, wearing a dog collar, pink kimono, and white hat with skulls. Classic Michael. He handed Ayame a note, simultaneously turning to wave at the three girls. They waved back and Ayame announced that Michael would be the Teaching Assistant for their class. Yay!
At the end of the period, Ayame happily handed out flyers to everyone.

"Ten percent discount for students!" Ayame said happily. "We just opened a branch here in America."
Suddenly Kelsey got a feeling of déjà vu.
"Sohma. And our next class…Shigure? Shigure Sohma? Why does that make me think of a dog?"
