Hi, me again, super sad me with no reviews ='( BUT I WILL NOT STOP MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA! As you read you'll probably feel like Jitters doesn't belong in the title because nobody seems to be all that nervous, but trust me. I own nothing.


"I look ridiculous. Don't see why I have to go to goddamn school anyway." Kyara complained at breakfast.

"Well, you can't hang around here all day, Akito tends to drop in unexpectedly." Kyo glared at Shigure and Yuki.

"Oh yes, the chosen ones. How on earth could I forget."

"Don't be bitter, Kyara, it'll give you wrinkles." Shigure said off-handedly.

"I don't give a rat's ass about goddamn wrinkles. Or this goddamn uniform, or goddamn Akito!"

"Could you please keep your language to a bare minimum in miss Honda's presence?"

"Fuck you rat!" She picked up her bag and stormed out.

"Does she even know the way?"

"No. But who cares maybe the bitch will get lost." Kyo grumbled, picking at his rice.

"We should go catch up with her! She shouldn't be late for her first day!" Yuki followed Tohru out the door quietly while Kyo huffed.

"Roof didn't treat you well, eh, Kykyo?"

"Shut up you damn dog! AND DON'T CALL ME KYKYO!"


"Kyara, wait!" Kyara trudged on. Tohru caught up and walked by her side quietly for a few minutes before she spoke. "So, what was the martial arts school like?"

"What do you care?"

"I just wanted to know a little bit about you."

"I'm the other cat, Akito doesn't want me around, nobody does, that's all there is to know." She sped up her walking and Tohru stopped. Yuki touched her shoulder lightly.

"She really isn't like the rest of us, miss Honda."

"But she hasn't really been given a chance to be." He didn't say anything but they started walking again.

When they got to school, Kyara was sitting moodily in a desk as far from anybody as possible. Kyo was as far from Kyara as possible.

"How on did Kyo get here before us?"

"He rode with me." Came a voice behind them. They turned to find Hatori standing there.

"Hello, Hatori. Here to check on Kyara?" Tohru asked cheerfully.

"And to finish filling out her papers. Excuse me, Tohru, may I speak with Yuki a moment?"

"Of course." She bowed slightly and went into the classroom. Yuki and Hatori walked a little ways away.

"How has she been so far?"

"Same old Kyara. Nobody wants her here."

"And Kyo?"

"Nothing's changed there either."

"I'd hoped they would grow out of this."

"Kyo never grows out of anything."

"He changed for Tohru." Yuki said nothing. The bell rang. "You had better get to class. I'll be by the house later."


"You need to get something straight, red. You had better not even think of cornering prince Yuki for yourself."

"He's my cousin. Not interested." Kyara dodged the fan club easily and walked away calmly.'

It was lunch and she had no real place to be. People were everywhere but none that wanted anything to do with her.

"Hey, Kyara!" Called a voice across the courtyard. She looked up and saw that goofy Tohru girl waving at her and grinning that big weird grin. She sighed.

"Might as well go over there. Not like I've something better to do." She walked up to the stone table Tohru was sitting at with two other girls, a tall blond one, also in her class and a medium dark one who was kinda cute. The dark one raised an eyebrow as she sat down.

"Yet more strange Sohma electric signals. Though hers are slightly... darker." She said hesitantly.

"Nice trick, where'd you learn that?"

"Boy, she really does look like carrot-top."

"She's Kyo's twin sister."

"Don't say that ever again."

"That you're his sister?" Tohru asked, confused.

"Not you, pretty but ditzy, Blondie over there."

"Okay, I won't point out the obvious anymore like your obvious attitude like his too." Kyara growled and started to stand up but Tohru caught her hand.

"Kyara she's just teasing. Please stop, Uo, she and Kyo don't get along very well."

"Touchy, huh? So you're more like that younger kid with the two-toned hair?"

"Sometimes if I didn't know better, I'd say he was my brother, not that idiot. Where is Haru anyway?"

"They're younger so they have a different lunch." Kyara nodded.

"Don't get out much do you, Red?"

"She does seem quite ill at ease here with us." Hana added.

"You could address me directly you know." Kyara aimed at Hana.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be rude. I just didn't want to lead you along."

"Eh, that's all right psychic, I've been through worse."

"Okay, now I'm confused, lead her along?" Uo asked.

"Kyara was checking me out as she walked up to the table."

"Roll that way, do you, Red?"

"I roll whatever way I want."

"Hey, that's cool, we need more girls like you in the world. Not bi or anything, just not always looking for approval." Kyara went silent, lost in her thoughts for the rest of the lunch. They liked her. They didn't know her at all, but they liked her.


"Hey, guys!" Came a small voice right after the final bell. Kyo turned and blocked Momiji's jump just before he could hop into Tohru. "Waaahhh! Tohru, Kyo's being mean to me!"

"Hello, Kyara, Hatori told me you were in town." Haru said as he caught up with the small rabbit.

"Hi, Haru." Tohru was amazed to see a real smile on Kyara's face. It was only the second she'd seen at all but the first had been slightly mocking and not very nice. This was a genuine 'happy to be here' smile. Tohru couldn't help smiling with her until she remembered poor Momiji in the floor crying.

"Hey, Momiji, want to go get some ice cream?" He looked up instantly and smiled.

"Yeah yeah!" She held out her hand.

"Come on."

"Yay!" He shouted as he jumped up and took it.

"Anyone else want to come?"

"No way, I'm getting away from that brat, I'm going home." Kyo said.

"I have to take care of the garden before the storm tonight." Yuki told her quietly.

"I think Kyara and I are just gonna chill by the river for a while. Come find us when we're done and we can exchange company and go home." Haru offered. Tohru smiled and nodded and then started toward the ice cream shop.
