When we get to the car, I see a very serious looking man in the driver's seat, and a far more cheerful looking man in the passenger's seat, while Tohru, the cat, Yuki (the gray haired boy), who introduced himself on the way here, and I all piled into the backseat. The more cheerful of the men in the front seat turned to look at me and said, "You must be Kira. I'm Shigure, and this," he said, gesturing to the driver, "is Hatori. It's my pleasure to have another high school girl living under my roof." After Yuki slapped Shigure for the high school girls comment (At least that's what I'm assuming), I thanked Shigure for letting me live with them. I thought they were all just a little strange. There was something different about them from most people, but their strange, happy attitudes cheered me up and made me forget about home for a while. What's even more surprising is that I smiled. I smiled for the first time since my brother died in a car accident two years ago. For the longest time, I've only ever felt angry. I've only ever felt angry at my brother for leaving me, and my parents, who could never get along. I've only ever felt angry at people in general because they all have cold hearts inside. Even the kids at school have consistently bullied me for as long as I can remember. I've never had any friends. But now, for the first time in years, I'm actually smiling. It felt good to smile again after so long. I eventually got lost in thought until we finally reached the traditional Japanese looking house.
As I was about to get out of the car, the orange cat leapt over my lap and straight to the house. I guess he was glad to be home. Yuki and Hatori helped me bring my bags to the door. When I got there though, a boy with extremely vibrant orange hair (the same shade as the cat, now that I think about it), jumped down from the roof and landed in front of me making my heart leap out of my chest. How did he even survive that? The boy just stood there staring at me for a while before Yuki said, "Kira, I believe you have not met Kyo yet," as he gestured to the ginger.
"It's very ni-"
"I could introduce myself, you know!" Kyo shouted at Yuki.
"Well, when were you going to, you stupid cat? It's impolite to stare."
I thought it was kind of odd that Yuki called Kyo a cat. I figured it was probably because he has the same hair color as the cat. If not, then I really want to hear the story. Anyway, the two continued throwing insults at each other until eventually a full on fist fight broke out. I was about to go get the popcorn and watch, when Kyo was thrown across the garden by Yuki and slammed into the ground. We then took my bags up to my room where I unpacked and fell asleep.
I was rudely awakened a few hours later by an orange haired head yelling in my ear. Apparently dinner was ready. Now, I had to get up for this, why? Well, since I was awake anyway, I figured I may as well get food. Food is good. When I walked out of my room, I ran into Yuki. Or, at least I thought I did, but in Yuki's place there was a rat surrounded by clothes. I must still be dreaming. I pinched myself to wake up, but there's still a rat staring at me instead of Yuki. If I didn't run into Yuki, who did I run into? There's only one logical explanation. Yuki. Turned into. A rat. So, naturally, I did what any other person would do, and started screaming my head off because I just turned a 15 year old boy into a rat. As I was running down the stairs, I ran into Shigure, who turned into a dog, which caused me to pass out from pure shock.
When I woke up again, Yuki, Shigure, Tohru, and Hatori were standing over me, while Kyo just kind of sat back in the corner of the room. I was very glad to see that Yuki and Shigure were back to their human forms. That meant it was just a dream after all. Or at least that was what I thought, until Tohru went to get tea and ran into Kyo on the way out. Of course, Kyo turned into the orange cat. Well that would explain the nickname. I was about to panic again when Shigure explained the Sohma curse to me. I suddenly feel a wave of exhaustion hit me as I realize that they were far stranger than I thought they were when I met them. It's almost too much for one ordinary girl to handle. Lucky for them, I'm no ordinary girl. However, one can only handle so much drama at once, for as soon as the group left the room, I went straight to dreamland.
