Also thanks for everyone for reviewing, it means a lot to me! Special thanks to my friend who helps me perfect my writing skills and grammar.

Okay were did I leave off...

"Thanks for walking me home." I said with smile.

"No problem Sakura-chan. See you in school Monday." With that they started walking home.

I turned around to face the door. I opened it and closed it quietly. Maybe I could get to my room unnoticed. I started up the stairs.

"Where do you think your going.?" Shit! I thought as I turned around.

There stood in the doorframe leading into the living room stood a tall man. He had black hair that fell down to his ears and had black eyes. He was well built too for a man his age. He was glaring at me with hatred in his eyes.

"... Well..." I couldn't think of a good excuse. My stepfather is very intimidating. It amazes me to no end that my ridiculous mother even married him.

He stood there, while I started to shake out of fear. His cool emotionless eyes watching my every movement.

"Well what?" he said sharply.

"I got lost on my walk." I stated simply.

Then I turned around and started to ascend the stairs. That's when I felt a hand grab me tightly around the wrist. "So when did I give you permission to leave? I didn't dismiss you." He said rather coldly. He roughly turned me around to face him. "You should try to learn some manners wench!"

I glared at him. Who does he think he is, he can't boss me around like this. I spat in his face and said through gritted teeth, "Bastard. Let me go! You are not the boss of me!" I started to struggle out of his grasp. That's when I felt a sharp pain in my left cheek. OH MY GOD he slapped me!

"Listen here you fucking monster!" he roughly shoved me down on the floor. And started to kick me in the stomach. I started to curl into a ball to relieve my stomach of the pain only to get bruises on my back and legs.

"Your nothing but a freak! No one will every want to be your friend. You should be grateful that you are still in this house and not in a lab somewhere. You will listen to whatever I tell you to do. No ands, ifs, or buts about it. Go to your room now before I kill you myself." With that he walked out the door. Most likely to go to the local pub or bar.

I slowly uncurled from my position on the floor. The pain was bearable. He went easy on me tonight, I thought grimly. I made my up to my room. My room wasn't all that grand. A normal size bed was in one corner of the room. The room had black walls and carpet. The curtains were also black. The bedspread was a crimson red. As you may have guessed my favorite colors are red and black. There was a wooden dresser in the left corner with a stereo on top of it. Then beside my bed was a night stand with the dreaded alarm clock on it.

I slowly walked over to my dresser and got out some clothes to prepare myself for bed. I thought about how I meet the really nice people today. I sighed as I finishes changing. Then I thought on how my stepfather called me a monster. That always seemed to be his favorite word to call me ever since he married her mother. He's right though, I thought sadly. I am a monster.

Ever since I was born I was different. Heck I never even knew my real father. I turned restlessly in my bed. Well no use in dwelling on such pessimistic thoughts.

Fast forward to Monday

It's Monday. Joy, joy. Sakura was walking out of the highschool office when she saw Tohru, Well today might actually go all right if she's in my class. With that she ran up to catch up with Tohru.

"Tohru! Wait up!" I shouted with a smile.

"Good morning Sakura-chan! How have you been?" She smiled brightly at me.

I grinned in return. "Never better. Do you know where class 2-D is?"

"Oh that's the same class as me! Come on, you can meet my friends. I'm sure they'll like you. Yuki and Kyo might be happy to see you as well!" Tohru said while grabbing my hand and leading down the hall.

As we walked into the classroom, many people turned to look at me. I looked nervously about. Me and groups of people just don't mix. Tohru led me over to two girls. One looked all gothic like with long black hair. She also had her nails painted black. The other girl was tall and had semi long blond hair. Half of it was covering her face.

"Sakura-chan, these are my two best friends. This is Arisa Uotani and that is Saki Hanajima. Guys this is Sakura Kira. She's new here." Tohru smiled. RING "Uh well, Sakura-chan, why don't you sit next to me."

I smiled, "Sure. That will be great." I took the desk on Tohru's right closest to the window. Just then the teacher came in.

"All right settle down class. Today we have a new transfer student and I want you all to treat with her with respect!" She said while glancing at some of the boys in the classroom. "Sakura Kira will you please stand. Tell us a little about yourself."

I stood up with a nervous smile plastered on my ace. "My name is Sakura Kira and I just moved here from America. I'm seventeen and my favorite animal is the leopard." With that I sat back down.

Fast forward to lunch

I walked around during my lunch period. I wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone at the moment. The school was pretty decent, if anything I like all the trees around it. I walked towards a tree and sat down. I pulled out my sketchbook and began to draw a beautiful egret.

Tohru and her friends noticed Sakura sitting underneath a oak tree. Turning around , " lets go keep her company." With that she walked off towards Sakura. "Hello Sakura-chan! How did you like the classes here so far?"

"Overwhelmingly fun!" I said with a false smile. "They were all right."

"TOHRUUUUUUU!" shouted a blond girl. "Kyo hit me! Wahhhhhh!"

"Oh don't cry Momiji-kun! It's all right you poor thing." Tohru said with care in her eyes.

"What the hell do you think your doing wearing the girls uniform! Have you no shame!" Kyo shouted.

"Now Kyo, the uniform looks good on Momiji." I said while looking at Kyo with a smile.

Kyo looked over towards me, but quickly averted his gaze to the ground. Then I glanced at Momiji. " The names Sakura."

"Yay another friend!" With this he started to jump up and down with joy. That's when I noticed the taller boy behind him. He had black and white hair, which I thought was odd, and gray eyes.

"Ah Hatsuharu-kun! Nice to see you again. How have you been?" Tohru looked at him questionably. "Fine," he looked over to Kyo, "Ready to finish our fight."

Everyone sweatdrops.

"Hmpff. Forget it! Your not worth my time, damn cow." Kyo shouted. Just then the bell rang.

"Well, better get to class or were going to be late!" Tohru said as she glanced over her shoulder at the rest of us.

All right! Chapter 2 done! Im so happy. It's like three pages long on my word processor. LoL. There will be more kyo in the next chap I hope.!
