She was pissed. Damn pissed. That idiot president was getting her into trouble as soon as she had arrived, and she really wished she had not stopped at making him meet the floor back there in the corridor. Right now, she was sitting in the teacher's room, waiting for the school to call her parents. The only thing is that they wouldn't even bother come to get her. She heard a commotion outside her door, and popped her head through it. In the corridor, she saw a troop of girls rushing after a scared looking Yuki and a pissed off Kyo. She would have laughed and closed the door, had it not been for the reminder of her curse. Instead of Kyo and Yuki, she saw a scared looking rat and a cat. Her body was twisting itself, in pain, and even before she had realized, her hands had shot out and she had grabbed Yuki and Kyo. She pulled them inside and closed the door. Under her amused eyes, she saw the cat and the rat pant and try to catch their breath, as they started shouting against one another.
"_it's your fault!" screamed the cat. "Can't you tell them to shut it?"
"_you didn't have to run, you stupid cat." Answered Yuki coldly. And they went on, bickering and, eventually, they forgot she was there and started fighting. She watched them, sitting down on a chair, as if it was a mere show at the TV. From time to time, she would suppress a laugh. They however stopped when the door handle clicked, and the wooden frame was pushed aside.
"_you see, her appearance is somewhat of a problem, and she refuses to cooperate…"
"_I understand. I think it is most likely she did not understand the student president very well, since she has only just arrived. But I am sure the head of our family will want to talk to her and amongst other things about her appearance."
"_well, she is waiting in here."
Momiji's homeroom teacher entered the room, followed by Hatori. The dragon looked inside with an indifferent eye, and the teacher froze.
"_she was here not ten minutes ago."
"_I will go and look for her. It is likely she has left through the window."
"_but, this is the third floor."
"_believe me, this will not stop her."
During their conversation, Hatori had gone to the window and looked down. There were no footsteps. He turned around and faced Yuki and Kyo.
"_what are you two doing here?"
"_we were trying to escape a crowd of girls when someone pulled us in here. We did not notice who it was, though."
"_go back to your classrooms, lessons start in a few minutes."
Yuki and Kyo left, wondering who they might be talking about. To their knowledge, no Sôma other than boys were in this school, and Hatori had said "she", talking about somebody. Who was this mysterious girl?
Hatori looked around, shooting a last glance at the school. He caught a glimpse of a girl on the roof of the school. The next second she was gone. Yet, the instant he had seen her, something had moved inside him. Who was she? Nox Sôma?
