Hi. I hope you like my story so far! I know it's short, but I'm going to try to have a lot of chapters! I will also try to update every day if I can.
Where do I go?
I've been looking for my school for half an hour now.
That's it. "I'm lost," I said to myself, sighing. 'Hey, those people look about my age, and the girl is wearing the same uniform as me. Maybe they're going where I'm going,' I thought.
"Hey! Wait!" I yelled to them.
"Huh?" the boy with the orange hair said as they halted.
The silver haired boy turned around. 'He's so beautiful.' "Hi. Can we help you with something?" he asked.
"Huh? O-oh, yeah." I said as I reached them. "I have to find Kaibara High School, and I thought that since your uniform was like mine and all, maybe you're going there?"
"Yeah, we are," said the orange haired boy.
"Oh, my name's Hisoka Suzuki. What's yours?"
"O-oh! Hi! My name is Tohru Honda!" The brown haired girl said.
"Hi. I'm Yuki Sohma, and this stupid cat over here is Kyo Sohma."
"Don't call me stupid, you darn rat!" Kyo yelled.
"Cat? Rat? What are you talking about?" I asked.
"Wh-what?!" said Kyo.
"Oh," Yuki cut in, "those are just nicknames."
"Really? I guess I haven't been paying much attention, or I would know by now what you meant."
"What do you mean?" Yuki asked.
"Right now, I can tell that you three are nervous and worried. Tohru seems slightly scared, Kyo is a little more scared, but you, Yuki…you seem terrified for some reason." I looked into Yuki's eyes and tried to find what he was thinking. "Whatever your secret is, you don't want me to find out…but I will find out anyways." I closed my eyes and thought hard about Yuki. An image of a little grey rat appeared. "Oh my God." Then I thought about Kyo, and an image of an orange cat appeared. Then a monster appeared. It looked and smelled disgusting. I was scared of it.
"Aaaah!" I screamed.
"Suzuki-san, are you okay?"
"Wh-what?"
"You just screamed. Are you okay?" Yuki asked again.
"Y-you! You're a r-rat! And Kyo! He's a cat, and a monster! Wh-what's going on?!" Yuki and Kyo suddenly stiffened, fear in their eyes. There was a glimpse of confusion in their eyes, too, and a bit of anger in Kyo's.
"H-how did y-you know that?" Tohru stuttered.
"I was named Hisoka for a reason. It means "secret." My secret is that I can sort-of "read" people, like psychic powers. I know what people think and feel. I can tell that you are confused. I can read your mind, too. You think I'm like your friend, Hanajima is her name, correct? You think I'm stranger than her. I don't really mind, I'm stranger than everyone. That's part of why my stepmother made me leave. That's why I feel I'm like Kyo and Yuki. I think I'm like you, Tohru, too."
"How are you like Honda-san?" Yuki managed to choke out.
"Right now, that is no one's business. I'm not even sure it's true, yet. Anyways, all that aside, we're going to be late for school if we don't hurry."
"Oh my gosh, you're right! And I promised Mom!" Tohru exclaimed.
"Knew it," I said to myself.
"What was that, Suzuki-san?" Yuki asked.
"Oh, nothing. And you guys can call me Hisoka."
"Okay, Hisoka-san. Let's go. The school's this way."
***
"We finally made it!" I said as we walked in the building.
"Yeah, but school starts in a couple minutes, so we have to hurry," said Yuki. "Do you know what class you're in?"
"Well, I'm not exactly sure…"
"Okay, well you're 16, right?"
"Uh…no, but I'm in my first year, so I'm in the grade with the 16-year-olds."
"Wait, so you are in your first year?"
"Yeah. I'm in your class, right?"
"Yeah. Just come with us."
-Five minutes later-
"Class, we have a new student today. Come on in and introduce yourself," My teacher told me.
"Hi. My name's Hisoka Suzuki. Um…Sensei? Can I sit next to either Tohru or Yuki?"
"Uh, sure. There is a seat right in between them. Go ahead and sit there."
"Okay. Arigatou!"
"You're welcome…"
-Six hours later-
This school is so boring! Tohru is busy taking notes and Yuki has been either staring out the window or doodling. I already know all this stuff the teacher is blabbing about. Why can't school be more interesting?
It was then that the bell rang.
"Yay! Finally! We can go home!" I accidentally yelled out loud.
"Was class really that boring, Suzuki-san?" the teacher questioned.
"Do you really want me to answer that?" The teacher had a disapproving look on her face. "Hm, let me think," I said as I pretended to think. "…Yes! "
"Really?" she said.
"Yeah. I mean, I already knew everything you were saying."
"Fine, then would you mind staying behind to take a quiz on what we talked about today?"
"Yes, I would mind, but seeing I have no choice, I'll stay behind."
-Ten minutes later-
"Tohru, why are you still here?" Tohru's friend asked. I think her name was Uo.
"Yes, it is rather strange," her other friend, Hana, said in her monologue tone.
"Well, I was waiting for Hisoka-san," Tohru replied.
"Hisoka, huh? How do you even know her?" Uo asked.
"Oh, well she was lost earlier today, I think she just moved to Tokyo. She found Kyo, Yuki, and me when we were on our way here this morning, and we walked together the rest of the way."
"Oh, is that so? Tohru, I sense some strange waves coming off that girl. You should be careful," Hana warned.
"Yeah, she is sorta strange. I've gotta agree with you there," Uo commented.
"Oh, come on guys. She's not dangerous."
"No, I'm not," I said as I left the room. "I am strange, though…"
"…"
"Tohru, thanks for waiting for me!"
"Oh! You're welcome! I thought we could walk home together."
"She called herself strange…" Hana commented.
"Yes, I did, and I don't mind. I'm probably even stranger than you, Hana. I was just stating the truth."
"Hey! Don't go calling her strange! And why do you automatically assume Tohru was waiting for you, huh? Maybe she was just talking to us. Ever think of that?" Uo yelled.
"No, I didn't, I already knew she was waiting for me. And no, I wasn't listening to your conversation, so don't go thinking I'm a stalker. I couldn't even hear it from the room. And last time I checked, you called Hana strange, too. And I actually know for a fact that she is to normal people. And besides, you were the ones who were calling me dangerous! I would never hurt Tohru, but I can't say the same for you."
"What makes you think you can hurt me or Hana?" Uo said.
"Nothing does. And I'd rather not. But if you keep saying things like this to me, I might have to. And I also know for a fact that you were a Yankee and Hana is a psychic, but that doesn't scare me. I have secrets too, you know."
"How do you know all that? How could you know I was thinking you were listening in on our conversation, and how I thought you would be scared? How else would you know what I said if you weren't listening?" Uo was furious now.
"I just told you. I have secrets."
"Oh yeah? Well then, just what are those secrets that make you so strange?"
"Well, one of them is that I am a psychic, like Hana, although my power is different. I can read people's minds and emotions. Another secret is that I'm stronger than I let on to be, sort of like Yuki. And I have another that you don't need to know, yet."
"…"
"Wow, you are strange," Uo commented.
"But now I have some questions for you. What gives you the right to assume things and get mad at me like this? I bet you think that I have no problems. Well, you're wrong. I've probably had a worse life than Tohru. She's lucky, though. She has the power to forgive easily. She has the power to think about others before herself, and to be kind to everyone. She also has two really good friends and a good home with the Sohmas. Compared to me, she really is lucky. I don't mind though. Not really. Her kindness can be a problem, too, sometimes. It can cause her pain."
"What do you know? How can you say you're life is harder than hers? Especially right in front of her! You have no idea what Tohru has gone through."
"Yes, I do. I know exactly what she's gone through. Tell me if I'm wrong. Her father died when she was three, then her mother had to raise her by herself. She met you, Uo, and helped you get out of your gang. Then she met Hana, and you two became her friends. You were all very close, you, Tohru, Hana, and Tohru' mom, Kyoko. But just a few months ago, Kyoko died in a car accident. Tohru then went to live with her grandpa, but his house needed renovations. Tohru didn't want to bother you two, so she went to live by herself in a tent. Then Yuki and another Sohma, I think his name is Shigure, found her and let her stay at their house in exchange for housekeeping. Then Kyo arrived there. Tohru became really good friends with the Sohmas. Then her Grandpa's house was done, and Tohru went back, but she regretted it. Later, she went with Yuki and Kyo back to their house. Now she lives there. Good enough explanation for ya?"
"H-how did you know that?" Uo stuttered.
"Uo, weren't you listening when Hisoka said she was psychic?" Hana answered calmly.
"Yes, I was. What I don't understand is how you, Hisoka, can think your life is more difficult than Tohru's. Mind explaining that one?" Uo said.
"Yes, I do mind."
"What? Why? Were you lying the whole time, or are you chicken?"
"Neither," I replied quietly.
"Then what then?"
"Tohru."
"Huh? What do you mean, Tohru?"
"I mean Tohru is on the verge of tears. I would rather not worry her anymore."
"What? Tohru! What is it?" Uo said, worry clearly in her voice.
"It's because we were fighting. You are her best friend, and she wants to be my friend. I would like to be all three of your friends, along with Kyo and maybe Yuki, too."
"What do you mean 'maybe' Yuki?" Uo asked, calmer now."
"I mean I'm not sure if I want to be just his friend. For now, a friend is fine, though." I said.
"Oh. Okay, then. Tohru? Tohru, are you okay? I'm sorry Tohru." Uo apologized.
"Me too. I'm sorry too," I said. "Now why don't you stop crying. You're worrying us. I would like all of you to be my friends, so we'll stop arguing, okay? Just stop crying," I told her.
"O-okay. S-sorry for worrying y-you," Tohru said.
"It's okay, Tohru. I'm sorry for what I said."
"It's okay. I forgive you."
"See, this is what I mean by too forgiving." At that comment, her face turned slightly pink.
-Five minutes later-
Tohru, Uo, Hana, and I were all waling home together. Tohru invited us to dinner. All of the sudden I sensed someone coming.
"Wait, guys!" I called.
"Huh?" Tohru said.
"What is it, Hisoka?" Uo asked.
"Yuki! Why are you still here?" I asked Yuki as I ran towards him, ignoring Uo's question.
"Hello. I had Student Council today," he answered.
"Oh. Okay. Well, we were just walking to Tohru's house. She invited us all to dinner. You live with Tohru and the other Sohmas, right?"
"Uh, yeah."
"Okay, then come on! Unless you want to be left behind! Hurry!" I yelled as I ran towards Tohru and her two best friends.
"C-coming, Hisoka-san!" Yuki yelled behind me.
"Hi Yuki-kun!" Tohru said.
"Hello, Honda-san."
"Hello," Hana said.
"Hey, Prince. Calling Hisoka by her first name, I see?" Yuki's face went red at this.
"Uh, well, yeah. She said for us to call her by her first name…"
"Ha-ha! Your face right now is priceless!" Uo said.
"…"
"Come on! We have to hurry home! I still have to make dinner!" Tohru yelled.
"Coming!" the four of us yelled in unison.
