Chapter 2

Momiji POV

Today Hatori's letting me go to Yuki, Kyo, and Tohru's Cultural Festival! I was walking to their stand when I saw a girl I knew! It was Fuyumi! I was surprised, what's she doing here? But I was also happy that she's here. She seemed to be talking with Tohru and Tohru was looking kinda sad. I got closer to them.

"But Reuy! I have to go, my shift is about to start!" She said

"Okay, take care of yourself and I'll see you later." Tohru replied smiling.

Fuyumi nodded. They exchanged a hug before she left. She passed by me and looked at me out of the corner of her eyes before she rushed right past me without even acknowledging my existence. I sighed "She always avoids me.." I thought

Fuyumi POV

I hurried to the cafè, my shift is about to start! I ran in and saw the owner.

"Fuyumi-chan, you were almost late." She said, her name is Misuzu, she's my boss. I bowed.

"I'm sorry boss." She nodded.

"Get dressed and start working." I nodded as I ran to the dressing room. I guess today's theme was bunny maids. I put on the maid dress and pulled on the white bunny ears. The maid dress went to my mid thigh, was black with white lace, and had a white apron tied around the waist. I slipped on the black Mary Jane shoes and walked out with a small notepad and a pen. I began to take orders. About 20 minutes later the door bell sounded telling us we had another customer.

"Hello, welcome to-" I froze as I saw who it was. It was Tohru with Yuki, Kyo, and Momiji. They all stared at me and I stared back.

~thoughts~

Tohru: I hope she wasn't too late for her shift, I'd feel bad if I made her late.

Yuki: So, Miss Honda's sister works here. It's nice that she's responsible at her age.

Kyo: *glaring but laughing on the inside* HAHA! SHE WORKS IN A MAID CAFE!

Momiji: *blushing* W-wow, Fuyumi sure is cute in that uniform, and it's a bunny

Fuyumi: *calm but freaking out on the inside* OH MY GOD! WHAT ARE THEY DOING HERE!?

~end of thoughts~

"Hello everyone, what are you guys doing here?" I asked calmly like they were anyone else.

"Well, the cultural festival is over so we thought we'd get something to eat." Yuki said smiling, I nodded.

"I'll get you guys a table, follow me." I told them smiling. Oh god, I hope they leave soon. I sat them at a table and readied my notepad and pen.

"So what can I get you all?" I asked smiling.

"I'll have a piece of cake and some rosemary tea." Tohru said smiling at me.

"I'll have the cheese cake and green tea." Yuki said.

"I'll have a sandwich with milk tea." Kyo said glaring at nothing in particular. I turned to Momiji. He had a small blush on his cheeks.

"I'll have the strawberry shortcake and some milk tea." He said smiling at me. I blushed a bit before smiling back.

"Okay, I'll be back with your orders." I said with a smile and walked away. I went to the kitchens and placed their orders. 3 minutes later everything was done so I carried it all on a big tray. I walked to their table with more balance than Tohru could ever dream of and gave them their snacks. "Alright, there you go. Enjoy." I said as I held the tray in front of me.

"Thank you." Tohru, Yuki and Momiji said smiling. I smiled back and walked away. When they were finished eating, Tohru waved me over.

"Hey, did you guys want anything else? Something to-go maybe?" I asked.

"No, we're fine. We just wanted the check." Tohru said smiling. I nodded and gave it to them. They paid and got up to leave. As they were leaving, Momiji turned to me and handed me a bill. I looked at him confused.

"It's a tip, for being such a good waitress. I love the ears by the way." He said smiling like it was an inside joke. I lightly blushed but nodded.

"Thank you." I told him smiling

"No problem, I'll see you in class tomorrow." Was the last thing he said before leaving. I looked at the bill in my hands and gasped with wide eyes. He gave me a ten thousand yen bill! He must be super rich if he can afford to give tips like that. I shook my head, there's no way I could accept this! Wow, Tohru moment... I'll just give it back at school tomorrow. I nodded to myself and went back to the customers.

...TIME SKIPS...

It was lunch time, so Momiji should be eating his lunch in the classroom like usual. I walked in and there he was sitting in his seat next to the window. I walked to him and he looked up as I did. He stood up to greet me.

"Hello Fuyumi, did you need anything?" He asked smiling. The sun was hitting him just perfectly and with that perfect smile in place he looked like an angel- I shook my head, no time to be fantasizing.

"Actually, yeah." I held my hand out and in my hand was the bill he gave me yesterday.

"I couldn't possibly accept this much." I said looking at his face.

"Why not?" He asked tilting his head. I raised an eyebrow.

"Because it's WAY to much." I said handing it to him, he didn't take it.

"Just accept it." He said. I shook my head and tried giving it to him again.

"I can't." I said as I tried harder. He stepped back and I stepped forward. I tripped and went spiraling toward him. His face turned horror struck as I fell against him.

*POOF*

Momiji was no longer under me. I looked down and saw his clothes. Something moved in them. I pulled them back and saw a... rabbit? My eyes widened and my jaw hung open. I stared at it and it stared back at me with an equally shocked face. I stood up and took a step back. My mouth was hanging open as I pointed to the rabbit then pointed to me then back to the rabbit before putting down my hand and closing my eyes tightly.

"Okay, I think I'm dreaming because Momiji just turned into a rabbit." I said quietly while pinching the bridge of my nose. The rabbit was staring intently at me. My thoughts drifted. "...wait... He's a Sohma... The secret... Is that... Is that why... A-

*POOF*

Momiji was standing in front of me... completely naked. He had fair pale skin all over, he looked soft and warm. I stared at his face and he was blushing while looking very worried. At that moment, I just ran. I ran out of the room and to the one place in school I thought he couldn't get to me: the girl's restroom. I ran in (thankfully no one else was in at the moment) and as I was about to lock myself in the big handicapped stall, Momiji came running-fully clothed-and threw open the door. He ran in with me and closed the door with so much force it jammed and almost opened in the opposite direction. I stared at him and he stared back. We just stood there, in the girl's restroom locked in the handicapped stall. We were both panting slightly from the run.

"You can't tell anyone." He gasped out. I shook my head.

"I won't. I already met a few other Zodiacs." I said trying to steady my breath.

"Who?" He asked as he took deep breaths to get his breathing back to normal.

"Yuki, Kyo, and Shigure." He looked pensive. Out of nowhere, the restroom door could be heard opening. I clasped my hand over his mouth at the same time he clasped his hand over mine. I could see three girls' feet and then they disappeared. We both sighed in relief then almost screamed as three heads appeared over the stall's wall. They stared down at us and I looked up at them in horror. They were Maki, Hanna, and Karin: the school's biggest gossip and momiji's annoying fan club. They suddenly got mischievous smirks and their heads disappeared from view. My eyes widened with panic and within the minute people could be heard whispering everywhere. Momiji and my name seemed to be the most frequently said.

"Dammit." I hissed. If HE finds out about this i'm dead. Somehow, Momiji looked pretty calm about this.

"Why are you so calm?" I asked him.

"There's a window, we could just climb out instead of the door. Or just stay here for the rest of the day." He said smiling. I raised an eyebrow at him.

"Um, okay." I said sitting cross legged on the surprisingly clean floor. Better text Tohru about this...

I sighed and took out my phone. Tohru should still be in lunch.

Me: Hey, wacha doin'?

Reuy: Eating lunch outside. What's up?

Me: I'm locked in a bathroom with Momiji after he transformed in an empty classroom and I ran to the girl's restroom.

Tohru's POV

I was sitting outside with Hana, Uo, Yuki, and Kyo just having lunch. Suddenly, my phone buzzed in my pocket. I took it out and saw I had a text from Fumie.

Fumie: Hey, wacha doin'?

Me: Eating lunch outside. What's up?

Fumie: I'm locked in a bathroom with Momiji after he transformed in an empty classroom and I ran to the girl's restroom.

My mouth dropped open and I started freaking out.

"Miss Honda, are you alright?" Yuki asked, glancing worriedly at me.

"Fumie is locked in a stall in the girl's bathroom with Momiji!" I practically yelled.

"What?! What did that twerp do now?!" Kyo yelled.

"He did the thing!" I said trying my best to not reveal the secret. They gasped.

"Are they okay?" Yuki asked worried.

Me: ARE YOU GUYS OKAY!? NOBODY SAW RIGHT!?

Fumie: We're both fine. But three girls saw us locking in a stall and probably told everyone that we were doing something naughty.

"They're both fine, nobody saw." I said sighing. They looked releived and the bell rang signaling it was time for class again.

Me: Okay. Gotta go, that's the bell. I'll see you later, you should stop by today.

Fumie: Okay, see you later...
