"Why the hell is that damn rat taking so long?!" I heard the cat yell from downstairs. Ever since that stupid rat walked through Shigure's doors, my eyes have been bleeding since. He never knew when to shut the trap in which he calls a mouth. One day, I will rip it off his face, Yuki thought as he went downstairs.

It was an ordinary school day, except it was a little bit different today. Kyo and I were transferring to a new school; Akito's orders. I didn't know why he was making us switch schools. But even if we did, why did he have to make the stupid cat swtich too.

I sighed. No one really knew what Akito was thinking; and no one wanted to know. Hatori was waiting down stairs, waiting for me to come down.

"Yuki, you don't want to miss your first day do you?" Shigure called.

"I'm coming," I called. Only if the cat would learn a thing or two on speaking or maybe not speaking at all. Yes, I assume that would be better.

"And who goes to school at 6:30 in the morning. I know we're different but are we really this different?" I said as I met all three Sohma's at the bottom of the stairs.

"Because," Hatori said as he walked outside, motioning us to follow. I waved goodbye to Shigure as he waved back in his cheerful manner of his, "Some of the students at the school volunteered to show you around so you won't get lost."

"I'm not Hatsuharu, Hatori," I rolled my eyes and got into the car.

"I know you're not but you don't have to be Hatsuharu to get lost, Yuki," Hatori stared the car.

I knew who would win the argument before it even started so I just shut my mouth and looked out the window as we passed the main house- the Sohma estate. It's been a while since I've been there, and if things went my way, I would never have to step foot past the doors. Using my rat instincts, I could hear just little sounds from the house. As quiet as usual, I thought. Not that I expected it to be full with everyone talking freely. That would never happen at the house.

I thought about the new school. At least there won't be obsessed fan girls chasing after me, that was a good advantage with less chance of him changing into his zodiac form. Most of the Sohma's that lived in the main house were burdened with the zodiac curse. Kyo doesn't live in the main house because he wen to train on some mountain so he could beat me when he came back. Honestly, I think he got even dumber. Maybe the bears he fought knocked some brain cells out of his brain. Who knew?

Kyo turned into a cat, organge, if hugged by a girl of is under stressed. It's the same for all members of the zodiac, but they turn into hier form of animal. Me, a rat, Hatori a dog, and Shigure, a seahorse. (Though he would kill me if I said it out loud)

There were other member's, all the animals of the zodiac. There were a few eceptions, like Haruhi, my very close cousin. She was a bird when she turned, which isn't part of the zodiac. There are 2 or 3 other members that are part of the zodiac curse, but don't turn into the zodiac animals. No one knows why.

"Hey, rat. We're here. You gonna get out or what?" he snapped his fingers in my face. I took it and bent it.

"Now, now children. Let's not fight," Hatori gave Kyo his fingers back.

"Children?" I murmered in question. But it was unheard over the idiot's yelling.

"ME?! HE WAS THE ONE THAT WAS KILLING MY FINGERS!" Kyo growled.

I sighed. This was not a good way to continue the rest of my last year in high school: with that moron.

"Come on. Let's just go," I said.

He opened his mouth to say something but Hatori stopped him, "Bastard."

"What was that?" Hatori's face was shadowed as he pressed Kyo's face to the ground with his hand twisted.

"Now, now," a familiar voice said. It almost sounded like-

"Haruhi," I gasped, happily surprised. I uncontrollably hugged her, "Haruhi." I said as I felt more comfortable and pulled back, "Did Akito send you here too?"

She nodded, "But it was a couple of months ago. What is Kyo doing here? Why haven't you killed each other yet?"

"I wish I had the chance," I smiled sweetly. I realized there were people standing behind Haruhi. I took a step back as the stared at me. I looked behind me just in time to see the car disappear on the horizon. G

"Who are they, Haruhi?" said an orange haired kid. I realized there was another orange haired kid beside him. Oh, they were twins. Very much identical. Before Haruhi could talk, another kid with black hair and glasses looked up.

"Yuki and Kyo Sohma," he said, "Transfers from a commoner school moderately far from here. Their family's earnings takes them far from being commoners. The rest of the imformation is useless."

"So are they commoners or not? I want my little Haruhi to have friends she can be herself around," a blonde haired and tall guy asked. His voice reminded me so much of Shigure's. Or was it Ayame's? It didn't matter. Neither was good.

"Yeah, Kyouya," the twins chorused, "Are they or aren't they?"

"They aren't," the dark haired guy who must be Kyouya answered.

"So their filthy rich like us?" the blonde guy said again. Again his voice reminding me of those two bastards at home.

"No, Tamaki," Kyouya answered exasperatedly.

"Who are those idiots?" Kyo whispered to me.

"Like I have a clue," I shrugged.

"Would you guys shut up?!" Haruhi yelled at them. They obeyed, "Yuki-chan, Kyo-chan, these are my…friends," I stared at her in shock. She would be friends with such idiots? And why was she dressed like that? What happened to her hair? It's a surprise how much a person can change after 2 years of being apart, "Tamaki Suoh-sempai. Kyouya Ootori-sempai-."

"The hitachiin twins!" the twins sprang up in my face.

"Hikaru-," one of them said.

"And Kaoru!" the second one said.

"I'm Honey!" a small boy with blonde hair said. What was a child doing here? He almost looked like Momiji. How ironic; he had a bunny in his hand, "But my real name is Mitsukuni Haninozuka! This is Takashi Morinozuka! And this is my bunny, Usa-chan!"

I nodded. I just wanted to be showed around the school and go to class, "Nice meeting all of you. I'm Yuki Sohma. This is my cousin Kyo Sohma. Please treat us well."

"Let me show you around," Haruhi said, eyeing me. We had a lot to talk about.

"Why are you dressed like a guy, Haruhi?" Kyo blurted out.

That idiot.

Haruhi shrugged, "I guess you could say I-," she was cut off by the blonde- I mean Tamaki.

"How did you know my sweet Haruhi is a girl?"

"I've known Haruhi since I took my first breath," Kyo said in a 'duh' sort of way. He walked towards a building, "If you won't how us around, I'll walk around. I didn't wake up so damn early for no reason."

"I see your temper hasn't lowered," Haruhi looked at Kyo. He turned around.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, this is another chance for me to kick your butt again when spar kyo-kyo," Haruhi smiled.

"What-?"

"Let's get moving shall we? I would hate to make this innocent boy late for the first day," Kyouya reached his hand to me. Unsure of what to do, I shook my head and followed him instead. The others trailing behind us. Something wasn't right with Haruhi. I was finding out what that was.

Now, I had two missions. One, was to find out why in the world Akito sent all three of us here. Second, to find out what was going on in Haruhi's head because obviously she wasn't thinking clearly.

So far, Ouran High School was the strangest school…
