Chapter 4
The next morning- for whatever reason I actually woke up without scaring anyone for life. I stood up and yawned. Yuki was still sound asleep with his right arm dangling off the bed. I stepped out of the room and walked downstairs. I looked out the window- the sun was just rising so I guessed it was around 7 o'clock- pretty early for me. I yawned again. I was just going to get a glass of water- and hope my sisters wouldn't wake up and pasture me. I went into the kitchen and noticed two people passed out at the kitchen door that connected to the living room. It was Kyo and Arielle sleeping next to each other. Kyo was stretched out and Arielle's head was on his legs. I snickered a little to myself then.
"What are you doing up so early?" said two annoying voices. I screamed and turned around to see my sister looking up at me quizzically. I glared at them- trying to stay calm. There was some moaning from behind me. I turned around to see Arielle and Kyo both stirring. Kyo sat up and put his hand down on what would have his side if Arielle's shoulder hadn't been there.
"What the heck?" he yelled. Arielle sat up quickly- banging her head against Kyo's. "CRAP! What was that for!" he yelled as he rubbed his head.
"It's not my fault- why was your head there anyway?" just as Kyo was about to yell again Yuki trudged down the stairs and stood beside me.
"What are they yelling about so early in the morning?" I quickly explained as Kyo and Arielle kept bickering still sitting right next to each other. Then Harper and Tohru came down the stairs and Justin and Miles opened the kitchen door next to Kyo and Arielle.
"Whats happening?" asked Miles. Arielle and Kyo glared at him.
"Oh," said Tohru. "Does anyone want breakfast?" some people nodded and she went to the pantry and pulled out some cereal then two cartons of milk out of the fridge that she had bought yesterday- since the milk they had before was bad from the 3 or so months they had been at our house. She placed the cereal on the counter along with some bowls and one of milks. Then she walked over to Kyo and handed him the second carton.
After breakfast we all piled into the living room.
"oh shoot." Said Justin from the couch. "you know what I just realized?" we all nodded like continue. " we have to go shopping again, we don't have any clothes…"
"Oh, how sad; we have to go shopping." Said Harper. We laughed.
"okay then." Said Yuki. "shall we go right away?" Shigure stood up and opened the front door to leave and a gust of cold air blew into the living room, causing everyone to shiver.
"I'm going to put something warmer on!" cried Shigure in declaration and went into his room.
"Stupid cold." Said Harper walking over to the door and shivering because Shigure hadn't closed it. Tohru popped up.
"You can borrow one of my sweaters." She said. Harper smiled and followed her up the stairs. Yuki stood up and followed. I followed too. When I got to the top of the stairs Harper and Tohru were already coming out. "Oh, Jessica- I'm so sorry I only have two sweaters…" I waved.
"That's fine- I can just ask Yuki or something." They smiled and headed down the stairs. I peeked my head around Yuki's door and saw him slipping his jacket on. I coughed and he spun around.
"Hello Jessica." I smiled and stepped in.
"It's kind of cold outside- do you have a sweater?" I asked him. He smiled and tossed me a jacket. We walked out the door and back to the living room where everyone was waiting for us. Miles and Justin must have raided Shigure's closet because they were both wearing robes. Justin looked pretty funny because his was like 2 sizes to big. My sisters had already been wearing sweaters – so, ya… Arielle was wearing one of kyo's sweaters she must have high jacked. Then we all headed out.
Half way down the path in the woods to the main road, we saw two girls walking towards the house. Tohru went up and smiled at the familiar girls.
"Uo, Hana!" said Tohru. That' where I'd seen them before.
"hey." Said Uo. "we were just coming over- we haven't seen you forever- we thought you died." Said Uo. She turned her gaze to Yuki. "Yo, Prince- where you been?" Yuki smiled like he was trying to think of something.
"we were visiting some friends." Her gaze then shifted to Kyo who was standing next to Arielle (who was yet- still wearing his sweater)
"who's this Orangey? Your girlfriend? Is it a thing to have weird hair?" they both blushed and began yelling at Uo.
"hey, Hana, Uo," said Harper. "we were just going to the mall, do you want to come?" Hana nodded.
"But- I have to wonder, how do you know our names?" Harper laughed and scratched the back of her head.
"Tohru talks a lot about you." She said. Uo smiled and pulled Tohru into a hug.
"That's just like her isn't it."
"yes," said Hana. "We would love to go to the mall, but first may we ask your names?"
"I'm Harper." Said Harper brushing blonde hair out of her face.
"I'm Arielle." She said still frowning at Uo for calling her Kyo's girlfriend (and the hair comment)
"And we're Jessie and Annelise!" said the twins at the same time.
"I'm Miles," he said. usually at this point most people cowered at him- Uo just glared like you don't scare me. "and this is Justin." He pointed at Justin who frowned.
"I can introduce myself." Then they turned to me.
"and I'm Jessica." I said. Uo frowned at me.
"Isn't that the princes jacket?" I blushed a little- then lone behold Shigure came to my rescue.
"ha ha ha ha, yes it. Now, let's get to the mall, shall we?" we all nodded and started back off to the mall.
