It was Monday and rumors were spreading like wild fire about the new girl and how she was hanging with Yuki Sohma. It was early fall so everyone was wearing their white uniform shirts so finding the new girl who had the dark blue blazer on was relatively easy. Motoko Minagawa and her followers of the Prince Yuki Fan Club stormed over to her as Yuki was pulled away to class by Tohru.
"Oi, new girl!" Motoko snapped and the girl turned towards them but they couldn't see her face due to her hair being in the way.
"What do you want?" the girl asked, her voice was empty of everything except boredom.
"Go back to where you belong!" Motoko snapped and the girl scratched her cheek, revealing a fingerless glove on her left hand.
"I am where I belong. Who are you?"
"I am Motoko Minagawa, president of the Prince Yuki Fan Club…"
"Bitch," the girl spoke then started walking towards the school.
"Excuse me, I wasn't done talking!"
"Your voice is giving me a headache. Anyone who has made some fucked up fan club for a student is crazy. It shows that you dream all you want but are too afraid to actually go for it. Let me guess, you have several rules and one of them being not to talk to Yuki alone. Am I right? Please, I've dealt with people like you back in America. It's just a waste of time," the girl spoke then disappeared inside.

I sighed as I walked into the classroom I was directed and was slightly sad to not recognize anyone but hid it easily. I walked to the back of the classroom and sat down. To my left was a boy with white and black hair in a similar died style to mine and to my right was some girl with short blond hair.
"Hello again," the girl to my right smiled and I frowned at her. "Do you not remember me when you came over to the main house to get that gash on your cheek bandaged? I kept chasing you Arctic."
"Umm…"
"Momiji is different. You'll get used to him and his way of dressing," the boy to my left spoke and I looked at him. "I am Hatsuharu Sohma and he is Momiji Sohma."
"Keigo Nahamo," I spoke, smiling a little.
"Is it true that you have a curse like the Zodiac 13?" Hatsuharu asked and I frowned.
"We are the same as you," the blond, Momiji smiled, "so don't worry."
"Yeah, I guess so…"
"Students, if you haven't realized it yet, we have a new student. Keigo Nahamo is from America and is currently living with Prince Yuki Sohma, is that correct?"
"Yes ma'am," I spoke looking at the woman at the front of the room and almost everyone in the room turned to look at me. I sighed and propped my head in my hand as the woman started to lecture about Japanese History and I stared at my sharp nails of my left hand and started digging a hole in the desk. 'Will there be more crazy people like those five I met before school? I hope not otherwise someone could get hurt.'
"Hey Keigo, are your nails normally like that?" Momiji whispered as he leaned towards me and stared at the shallow carving on the desk.
"Just traits of the Arctic Wolf," I mumbled.
Class went by slowly, due to it being a boring subject. I kept feeling the eyes of other students on me every now and then and just sighed. I learned to control my outbursts some years ago, luckily otherwise no one would have left the room unscathed. The bell finally rang and I stood up to stretch before following Momiji and Hatsuharu upstairs and ran into Kyo, Yuki, and Tohru.
"Yuki, you should have seen the picture Keigo made in class!" Momiji called as he ran over to them. "It was amazing for being a carving. Although, Keigo, you may get in trouble for ruining school property."
"Not like I care, it's just a desk. They can replace it," I smirked.
"Just exactly what did you do?" Kyo narrowed his eyes.
"I was carving on the desk," I shrugged. "Everyone was staring at me just because that stupid teacher mentioned that I'm staying with Yuki. Better to destroy property than people. Would have been different years ago when I had trouble with my temper."
"You sound like Kyo," Yuki spoke and I narrowed my eyes at him, even though he couldn't see. "Why do you keep your hair in your face to hide your eyes?"
"I've gotten teased enough for my arm and nails; I don't need it with my eyes too just because I acquired several traits from Arctic. My eyes used to be brown and my hair black," I crossed my arms. "After a few phases, that changed."
"New Girl!" a familiar voice yelled from behind "Yuki and the others and I sighed as Motoko came into view.
"Ah it's the Bitch coming back for more. Still have a headache from before," I smiled sweetly and heard a laugh that was trying to be held back to my right and I noticed that it was Hatsuharu.
"You are annoying…"
"Is something wrong?" Yuki asked.
"Oh, Yuki, I didn't see you there. No, nothing is wrong. Come along girls," Motoko spoke in a sing-song voice and walked past me and I smiled at her, showing teeth.
"Whoa, she has fangs…" Kyo whispered and I looked at him as I brushed my bangs to the right so they were out of my face. "Scary."
"Is the almighty cat finally giving up?" Yuki asked and Kyo growled at him.
"Yuki stop antagonizing him," I sighed as I looked over my shoulder and narrowed my eyes at the five girls as they disappeared down the hallway. I walked to the window and opened it. "Those girls are annoying, saying I should go back to where I belong. Guess they don't like people near their precious prince, not like I care." Then I jumped out the window and into the tree and jumped up the branches to the roof.
