Chapter 2: His Name's Kyou
I had called home to let my Uncle know I was staying else-where for the night seeing as in I could hardly walk. Despite me being a stranger they were very welcoming, except for the grey haired boy- he seemed a little on edge like something bad would happen any second. Tohru was exceptionally nice; she offered me her bed and hardly let me do anything by myself. "If you strain yourself you won't get better," she insisted. I let out a long sigh and tried to hobble my way downstairs for something to drink, the upstairs was very warm and humid. But the first step I took was excruciating, I let out a sharp holler and fell on my bum. I heard a door squeak open and slam into the wall.
"Wasn't almost drowning enough for you!" an orange haired boy shouted taking long strides in my direction. I was taken aback by his rudeness.
"Don't be such a loser in front of our guests," the grey haired boy said quietly. He helped me up and escorted me back to my bed, the mouse like boy followed.
"You stay put now ya hear? I don't have time to dink around with a klutz like you," he snorted standing in the door way. I was angry with him now but the other boy butted in before I could say anything.
"Kyou don't you have homework to finish from two weeks ago?" he asked the orange hair boy, I giggled.
"Your name's Kyou? As in Apricot?" I asked holding back a laugh. I saw him turn red in the face.
"See what you started Yuki!" he hissed. Yuki smirked. "My name means Pride!" he shouted at me slamming the door leaving me and Yuki in the same room.
"Forgive my cousin, he tends to be a bit loose in the head at times Miss Mica," he said politely sitting next to me on the bed. I smiled and looked to him; he was a very well mannered boy.
"Does his name really mean Pride?" I asked curiously, a shiver went down my spine.
"It does, but it's still funny to make fun of it," he said simply. I nodded and let out a loud sneeze.
"Seems like the pond water's gotten to you," he said placing a hand on my head, his skin was so cold, or my head was just burning- he'd deemed it to be a fever. "Just lay down now," he said barely above a whisper, draping a large white blanket over my freezing shoulders. I smiled, "So his name means pride, I guess that explains his cocky attitude," I thought drifting off into a slumber. I heard Yuki's silent footsteps fade away as the door clicked shut behind him- it'd been one crazy day.
