CH # 3: DRESS CODES…NEW FACES.AND NELLY!
" Wake up Kitty-Chan, it's a beautiful day outside!" toji whispered to her sleeping cousin, shaking her shoulders slightly. "Hmm uhh…t-toji-chan…oh my what time is it?"
Toji looked over at the alarm clock, then turned with a sweet smile to her cousin, "oh its about 4 a.m". "Erm…. Toji-chan school doesn't start until 8 we don't really have to be up until about 5:30", tohru explained sleepily.
"Ohh I know I was just getting up to practice my form and do a little kickboxing do you want to join me?" Toji smiled hopefully. "You know I stopped martial arts after you left toji-chan …but you go on ahead and have fun" Tohru smiled sleepily as she plopped her head back onto her pink pillow and drifted back to sleep.
"Ok…but it's always so dull without you kitty-Chan" toji whispered sadly, "hmmm…I'll just bring my stereo!" She whispered happily as she ran to dig out her laptop from her suitcase. (A/N: she listens to her CDs on her laptop because lugging around a stereo all day would be too much)
Meanwhile at this same time kyou was heading outside to take a jog. (A/N: he is such an athletic guy swoon) Once he was outside he took a deep breath, and began jogging quickly into the woods surrounding the house.
"Oof!" Toji gasped, as she tripped on a tree root and fell on her face. "Damned tree roots, I hate these woods", toji sighed angrily to herself. Toji quickly got to her knees and dusted off her precious laptop, opened it up and slipped her shiny CD into the side of the keyboard part of the laptop. She slid the volume button up as far as it could go then stood up beginning to stretch as the songs intro played. Hot in…. So hot in Herr…Hot in, the song began.
"Huh? What is that sound…music…in the woods?" kyou's super cat hearing skills detected strange coming from the center of the woods. Kyou stopped running and walked towards the noise, when he heard a strange voice behind some shrubs, begin to speak rhythmically to the beat.
I was like good gracious ass is bodacious, flirtatious trying to show patience"What the hell!" Kyo shouted 'what is going on over there' he thought as he picked up speed towards the shrubs.
Looking for the right time to shoot my steam, looking for the right time to flash them keys. Then um I'm leavin please believing, me and the rest of my heathens
Kyou pushed pass the shrubs to see toji bouncing around in a pink tank top and a pair of tight pink velour shorts. She was alternating between fierce right and left hooks and sidekicks. Kyou watched her with his mouth nearly dropping to his chest, as he watched her pink and blonde ponytail swing side to side as she continued her kicks and punches She continued this pattern as kyou focused again on the music playing
Check it, got it locked at the top of the four seasons, penthouse, rooftop, birds I feedin. No de-
Suddenly kyou snapped out of his daze as the music was abruptly cut off. He looked up to see a sweaty, surprised toji kneeling over her laptop staring at kyou. "What the hell do you want?" toji asked blandly as she stood up and walked over to kyou with her hands on her hips. "I…um.well…" Kyou began to back away as she neared him, turning bright red. "you weren't stalking me WERE you kyou-kun?" toji teased as she stopped right in front of him. "Hell no! I just wanted to see what all that DAMN racket was, and then I saw you jumping around like an idiot!" Kyou spit back defensively. "Oh REALLY? Well did you enjoy the show?" toji asked huskily as she leaned closer to him so that their noses were about 2 inches apart. Kyou began to sweat drop, as he turned red once more, toji simply raised an eyebrow at the boy before swinging her head back. "Well anyway that 'racket' was just my music that's all…geez you'd think you never heard Nelly before" toji chuckled as she reached up and pulled the hair tight off her ponytail letting her hair fall smoothly onto her shoulders and onto her back. Kyou just looked at her confused and still slightly red, "who??" Kyou mumbled. "Oh for goodness sake you people are seriously slow!" toji yelled at him in aggravation as she wiped the sweat from her forehead.
. . LATER THAT MORNING
"Hurry up kyou-kun! We'll be late if we don't leave now", tohru yelled up the stairs as she stood by the door. "Honda-san, maybe we should just leave, just because that stupid cat doesn't care if he's late doesn't mean we have to be" yuki smiled at tohru as he opened the front door for her to walk through. "Shut up you damn rat!" kyou yelled as he ran down the steps to the front door. "um..Ok then let's go!" Tohru said cheerfully trying to ease the tension between her two companions as they walked out the door and down the steps.
"WAIT!!" came a frantic voice from the doorway, "Wait for me I'm coming too!" it was Toji. Toji stopped as she reached the three other teens, she looked at them grinning wildly. She was wearing platform sandals, cuffed Capri jeans, and a light blue tube top over it. "Oh you look very nice toji-chan…where are you going today" Tohru smiled brightly at her cousin, on the porch. "Oh thank you kitty-Chan but I'm just going to school!" Toji winked at the now confused brown haired girl in front of her. "Motosuwa-san, do you already go to school around here?" yuki asked curiously, the blonde/pink haired girl looked over to the dark gray haired boy. "Yup! I go to your school now, I took the entrance exam by mail last week so all my transcripts would be here before I arrived" toji smiled stating matter-of-factly. " Oh hell! Now I have to deal with her and that damn rat all day!" kyou complained. "You weren't complaining this morning kyou-kun" toji winked and smiled seductively at kyou. "Huh? What happened this morning", tohru asked nervously, "nothing! Lets go" kyou quickly replied. 'Idiot!' yuki thought to himself as he turned to walk to school with the rest.
Toji couldn't help but notice the odd looks she was getting as she walked into the building. " Oh I almost forgot" tohru squealed as they all stopped in front of the class room door, "At lunch break I have to introduce you to Momiji-kun and Hatsuharu-san, they are relatives of yuki-kun and kyou-kun". "Oh that sounds fun!" toji squealed equally excited, " Are they part of the …you know what..?" toji asked in a half whisper. "Yes! Oh you will love them I'm sure, and you must meet Ou-can and Hana-can as well they are my friends I told you about" Tohru remembered. "Cool!" toji said turning the knob to the classroom door, as they all walked in all eyes were on toji. Finally the teacher looked over and announced upon seeing the girl "oh yes I forgot to mention we will be having a new student join us, as you can see this is .." The teacher looked down at a small pink paper in his hand, " Toji Motosuwa-san, she has transferred here from the united states" the teacher finished. "Hello pleased to meet you all!" Toji bowed happily towards her classmates and teacher. Ten as she swung her head up she flipped her long blonde and pink hair over her shoulder and flashed a beautiful smile. All the males in the room including the teacher starred at her beauty in awe, mouths gaping open. (A/N: every girl's secret man tempting weapon the hair flip lol Sarah) Toji noticed all the glares and quickly became agitated and found her way into a near empty seat. After everyone got back to normal they all sat down and the lessons began.
Later that afternoon during lunch the while gang was sitting outside, and Toji pulled out her laptop to check emails. "Honda-san I'm going to the cafeteria to get something to drink would you like anything" yuki offered as he stood up to go. "No thank you" tohru blushed as yuki walked off towards the building. Toji noticed this exchange and couldn't help but smile 'I wonder how long it'll take before those two get together' she thought to herself, then suddenly tohru tapped her on the shoulder. "Toji-chan this is momiji and Hatsuharu Sohma, Momiji-kun, Hatsuharu-san this is my cousin Toji Motosuwa" tohru cheerfully introduced. Toji looked over at the smiling blonde child hanging to tohru's arm then to a tall handsome boy with white and black hair. "Hey there" Toji smiled, "hello! I'm momiji! Are you really tohru's cousin…you must be you're so cute!" Momiji chirped as he bounced over to the blonde/pink haired girl. "Hey" Haru stated blandly, "nice to meet you two guys tohru told me you guys were Sohmas…well I can definitely tell now because you're both so Cute!" Toji exclaimed, " just like Kyou-kun" She added sweetly as she glanced over at kyou who was sitting across from her. He blushed and cursed under his breath, toji giggled and winked at the embarrassed red head. "Oooh what does this do its sooo cool" momiji exclaimed as he hovered over toji's laptop.
"Well it's my laptop I was just checking some emails, but I usually just use it to play my CDs" Toji scooted over to show the laptop to momiji. The boy was in awe at the computer, "oh cool! I want to hear!! What type of music do you like!!"? Momiji happily shouted as he pushed the play button on the side of the laptop.(A/N: are there play buttons on laptops…I dunno) "momiji wait!" Toji warned, remembering the last song she stopped on was Nelly at top volume.
No decievin, nothing up my, no teasin'. Everyone in the schoolyard turned to face the source of noise and looked at Toji in surprise as they listened to the song blaring through the schoolyard. I need you to get up, up on the dance floor, give that man what he askin for. "Hey I've heard this before!" momiji yelled out happily as he jumped onto the lunch table and started to dance around to the song. Toji noticed some of the other student starting to shake and sway to the music also. Cause I feel like bustin loose and I feel like touching you, and can't nobody stop the juice so baby tell me what's the use.
"Hey if you can't beat 'em join 'em" Toji shrugged as she joined momiji up on the table and started to shake and sway with him. I said, it's getting hot in here (so hot) so take off all your clothes. I am getting so hot I wanna take my clothes off.
"Come on Kitty-Chan don't be shy!" toji grinned at tohru as she grabbed her by the arm and pulled her onto the table. "Uhh oh no I-I can't dance" tohru protested blushing and sweat dropping heavily. "Come on just do what we're doing" momiji piped up. "Eh..Ok" Tohru gave in and timidly started to sway a bit to the music. Haru and kyou simply looked at the spectacle before them unable to speak. "What are you idiots gawking out.and whats that noise…eh!!" yuki asked sarcastically as he reentered the lunch yard and saw kyou and Haru staring with their mouths open, and eyes glazed. Suddenly he noticed Tohru, momiji, and toji dancing mildly provocatively on the table, well with Tohru it was more awkward than provocative. It getting hot in here so take off all your clothes. I am getting so hot I wanna take my clothes. Suddenly Toji bumped into Tohru and she fell off the table with a thud. "Honda-san! Are you alright?" Yuki yelled to her as he rushed over to help her up. Toji saw tohru and jumped off the table; once she landed she turned down the music as the song played on. "Tohru I'm so sorry! Are you ok!"? Tohru looked up at yuki and toji who were hovered over her an began to blush and laugh, which in turn made yuki and toji begin to giggle as well. "I'm fine.hehehehe.that was fun though" Tohru giggled as yuki lifted her to her feet. "Hey there…toji remember me" Toji turned around to face a tall young man with dark brown hair and green eyes glaring at her. "Umm..."She said cautiously, he simply looked at her from head to toe slowly. Then he looked her right in the eyes and grinned evilly, "I saw you up there dancing…your pretty hot now.how about you and me find a nice quiet place and go 'dance' huh?" He said in a low creepy voice as he wrapped an arm around toji's waist.
"Back off ass-hole!" toji growled as she pushed him away, Tohru looked nervously at her cousin then back to the boy advancing on her. "Come on I'll bet it wouldn't be the first time…hehe..I remember…" He quickly grabbed at her again, this time pushing her against the wall of the courtyard. 'Why didn't she punch him yet' kyou thought angrily to himself as he watched the spectacle before him, 'she looks…terrified…that's strange. Why' He clenched his fists as his face tensed up. "Leave her alone Hideki!" yuki warned the buy as he left tohru's side and walked a little closer to the boy. "Mind your business Sohma!" Hideki grunted at yuki as he held toji against the wall and tried to put his hands up her shirt, "besides she likes it…don't you toji…we always have fun right?" Hideki whispered tauntingly to toji. Toji looked frightened as if on the verge of tears, she began to shiver, "please…not…again." She closed her eyes and let a whimper escape her lips. "STOP!" Tohru shouted angrily at Hideki, she began to walk over to hideki and toji, with her eyes narrowed and her fists clenched. "H-Honda-san…" yuki looked at her in surprise as she walked over towards the boy, 'this isn't like Honda-san I wonder what she's doing'. 'What is she doing? Tohru never gets angry' kyou thought as he watched tohru. "Stay out of this Honda!" hideki smiled at her threateningly, and then went back to feeling up toji. "I said LEAVE HER ALONE …YOU BASTARD!!" Tohru screamed in anger. Before the boy could turn around to tell her off Tohru did the unexpected, she balled up her fist drew it back and thrust her punch forward into Hideki's face. The force of tohru's punch knocked Hideki onto the grass. Everyone starred at Tohru wide eyed and totally shocked, "you Stupid girl…you're next!" hideki yelled as he jumped up from the ground and lunged at tohru. But his attack was thwarted by a quick high sidekick to his head, by tohru. As he found himself once again sprawled on the grass, Hideki wiped the blood streaming from his nose, before he collapsed into the ground still looking up at tohru in fear. "Don't you EVER touch her again or next time I will not hold back," Tohru hissed at him breathing erratically. Then she turned around and smiled concerned at Toji, "are you ok?" Tohru asked her. Toji had calmed down by then and smiled gratefully at her, "Yea I'm ok…. see I told you, you never forget your still as quick as ever kitty-Chan!" Toji winked at her.
" Honda-san what…. uh.how did you…what." Yuki was so stunned he could hardly form a sentence. "Yeah! What THE HELL JUST HAPPENED?" kyou demanded.
TBC
A/N: OH MY! Where did that come from…how did tohru does that? Why did she do it? And what's going on with Toji and hideki? Answers will be revealed in the next chapter. Please tell me what you think and stay tuned.
