And we wake up in the breakdown
Of the things we never thought we could be
I'm not the one who broke you
I'm not the one you should fear
What do you got to move you darling
Yuki sat down next to Annaliese while they waited for the others to arrive at the lunch table.
"So Miss Valentine, you used to live in America, what was it like?" Yuki asked.
"Well I lived in Manhattan, it really isn't to different from here, I mean not many people drive, and the city is busy. But my old school was an all girls school so this is nice." She said smiling at him.
"That's in New York correct? So you moved here with your parents I presume?" he asked.
"Just my mom, adopted mom anyway it's a long story I'm sure you wouldn't want to hear about it." Annaliese shook her head.
"I would love to hear about it" He looked her in the eyes.
"Okay well my mother was raped and I am the product of it, she had been working with the Manhattan special victims unit to find the rapist. Well after my birth mom had me the rapist snuck into the hospital and killed her. She had given, Natalie, my mom and the head officer investigating my mothers attack, guardianship over me because they knew the rapist was violent and my birth mom wanted to be safe if anything should happen. She chose Natalie because her mom was raped and Natalie was the product, so she thought she could understand me. She was right, Natalie is amazing. But she got transferred out here to help with the sexual assault task force here in Japan." She explained.
"Wow, you've been through a lot. How do you cope?" he inquired.
"Well I dance competitively, and I work with some of the victims my mom helped." She looked down at the table.
"You miss them." Yuki said softly.
She nodded.
He pushed her bangs from her eyes.
"Don't feel so down, your too pretty to be frowning" Yuki said.
She turned beat red.
Luckily before Yuki could comment on her newfound tomato colored complexion, the rest of the group walked over and took there seats.
"So Prince how goes student council" Uo asked.
"Pretty well, we're beginning our slow season though" he said.
"I thought your name was Yuki, why is she calling you prince?" Annaliese asked.
"Oh that's his nickname, from his fan club" Hana said emphasizing the word fan.
"Well, well, well someone is popular." Annaliese teased.
This time Yuki blushed, softly but noticeably.
"So newbie why are you going to this school" Kyo asked though it sounded like statement.
"Don't be so ignorant, carrot-top" Uo scolded him.
"No it's okay, really. My moms new job is across the street, figured this was the best option." Annaliese shrugged.
"Wait, the police station? Your moms a cop?" Tohru raised her eyebrow.
"Yeah, detective, she investigates sex crimes." She answered.
"What kind of sex crimes?" Hana asked bluntly.
"Rape, incest, molestations, stuff like that." She explained.
"Have you ever seen her handcuff someone and you know rough 'em up" Kyo asked excitedly.
"More of her partner, Eli, roughing perps up. He has five kids and no tolerance for child molesters; he's got a lot of "Excessive force" reports in his file." She made air quotations with her fingers.
"Awesome" Kyo nodded.
'Oh carrot-top' Uo rolled her eyes.
Annaliese walked out of the classroom as the bell rang.
"Miss Valentine!" A voice called from behind her.
"Yes?" She turned gracefully.
"Would you mind if I walked you home?" Yuki offered.
"The thing is I'm not going home, I'm going to the police office to meet up with my mom, you're welcome to come with me, if it doesn't freak you out too much" she said coyly.
"It doesn't bother me one bit." He smiled. And he meant it.
Hana, Uo and Tohru watched Yuki and Annaliese walk down the hall together.
"He seems quite taken with her, it's very unlike him." Hana observed.
"Omigosh, what if they started dating, how cute would that be!" Tohru squealed.
"Cute, but dangerous" Uo said nodding toward the Prince Yuki fan club stewing over Yuki's new 'Friend'.
"Looks like I'm gonna have to bash some skulls." Uo walked up behind the fan girls tapping her crowbar on the wall.
The girls turned around.
"Y-you can't have that at school" One of them trembled.
"I can do what I please, now ladies, you best not even think about touching a hair on the new girls head or this crowbar, will become a permanent part of your bodies." She smirked. "Are we clear?"
"Totally" they shook.
Uo walked back to Hana and Tohru.
"Yeah…if Yuki dates her, she'll be the fan clubs new target." Hana said slowly.
"But it looks like she already is."
