A/N: Hey again. I just wanted to say that I worked really hard in trying to keep Kyo in character so if he's a little OOC I am sorry.
"Grandpa Shigure!" called Kisa as she enveloped the young man in a hug.
"Kisa! What a surprise! Now who's this?" he asked gesturing to the girl with dark brown hair and green eyes.
"This is Carmen my best friend!" Kisa proudly announced.
Carmen threw her arm over Kisa's shoulders as usual and returned with a smile, "The one and only!"
"I am so glad to see you've made a friend! And especially one as cute as her!"
A boy with silver hair and a girl with long flowing brown hair entered the room, "Why does that compliment sound illegal?"
"Sissy!" shouted Kisa vigorously as she threw her arms around the sweet looking girl.
"Kisa I didn't know you would be visiting us so soon! Oh and nice to meet you too!"
Everyone's attention shifted to Carmen, "Oh hello to you too! You must be Tohru! It's an honor to meet you! I'm a friend of Kisa. My name's Carmen. She spoke so highly of you I just had to come stop by. Even if I didn't have any interest in you I'm sure Kisa here would have drug me down here sooner or later. Not that I'm saying I didn't want to meet you of course! I've been excited about meeting you for days. Also I know what you did so thanks for comforting her. I would have done so myself if she had been in my life at the time but I just met her a few weeks ago. You see I'm from the United States so if I seem strange that's probably why although I'll probably seem strange anyway considering how abnormal I am. It may be weird but I am very content at being the weirdo, the outcast, the that's just who I am so why try and hide it. Besides I'd rather die than be so shallow like the populars. Huh I'm rambling again. My lord it's a wonder how I obtained a friend like Kisa."
Kiss giggled and bumped hips with Carmen, "BEST friend."
Carmen laughed, "Yeah BEST friend."
"Aww... You two are so sweet. And I'm so glad Kisa's finally made a friend as good as you."
At that moment a carrot top came in, "What the Hell's going on in here?"
"Kisa's here and she brought a friend, Cameron." Shigure informed.
"Carmen" Kisa and she corrected simultaneously.
Kyo uninterested asked, "When's dinner?"
Carmen scoffed, "Well a howdy do to you to carrots ."
"Who the Hell do you think you are!" yelled carrots.
"Duh I'm Carmen Vey. Who do YOU think I am the queen of England?"
Carmen gasped and put a hand over her mouth, "I am so sorry." this was too much like her conversations with Josh and she just couldn't take that.
She then ran out of the house tears pouring down her face.
The silver haired boy glared at carrots. The red head asked, "Hey I didn't do anything wrong!"
Kisa glared at Kyo, "Go apologize."
Kyo lifted his arms up, "I didn't do anything she's your stupid friend YOU go talk to her."
Tohru glanced out the door, "She seemed quite upset I wonder if she'll be alright."
Kyo sighed, "Fine alright I'll go talk to the stupid girl."
He stormed out the doorway and into the wildlife. What had he done? Something had upset her so badly but what was it? And why should he care? She was just some random girl who insulted him. He found himself caring a lot more these days how his actions affected others and that crap. Except with Yuki of course the damn rat.
He stopped for a moment his ears twitched at the sound of a young voice. One that so happened to belong to that girl.
He followed the voice and was surprised to find her by a gurgling brook tucked into a ball and singing "My Immortal".
He listened to the soft alto voice. The song came to life as she seemed to tell a story of the great loss of someone she loved. The pain in her voice sounded too horror stricken for a 14 year old girl.
He found himself drawn closer to the girl and when he was a few paces away he accidenatally stepped on a twig.
The girl twisted around and ounce her eyes met his face she looked away ashamed.
"I-I can't believe I did that. I just totally freaked out. Its been a year why does it still hurt? Isn't time suppose to mend pain? Sorry I'm sure this isn't making sense. Let me explain:
When I was 13 I had an older brother, Josh. He was 17 at the time a junior. He was great so encouraging and loving just a beautiful person inside and out. We had just moved there for my Mother's job but things weren't going so well for Josh. Though I knew how beautiful Josh was no one else could see it. They teased him and bullied him until he started hating himself. Their nasty comments made him not like himself anymore and made him not see all his good qualities. He decided he had enough so he shot himself. Then soon after that Mother died of a broken heart. Dad says he would of too if it hadn't been for me. He told me no matter how hard it was he had to stay for me because how could he leave his little girl all alone. Sorry I'm getting off track the point is you just reminded me of him that's all. Oh and don't be surprised if I get all upset if people fight. That's about it."
Kyo sat down by Carmen and told her, "You know it's okay to remember and be reminded but you've got to let go at one point or another or you'll keep having random outburst like this. And if you need to vent your anger ever fell free to take it out on me. It's not like I care or anything."
Carmen stared at him so much it caused him to blush, "You know Kyo even though you remind me of him surprisingly it doesn't hurt maybe because your just a different person or I've finally cracked but either way thank you but I won't insult you in fact I want to do quite the opposite. I want to be friends if that's all right with you. I want to learn more about you and find out who this Kyo person is because so far I really like him."
Before Kyo could say a word she hugged the boy who instantly with a puff of smoke turned into an orange cat.
