Hey there! I'm giving everyone else the day off, so I'll respond to the reviews.

START
*Regular POV*
Edward and Kyo had returned with a pass and settled back in. They sat through two hours of learning, no one else got detention.
"Okay, you may now eat your lunches." The teacher said. Arisa and Hanajima both stood up and went over to Tohru.
"Can we talk to you for a minute? Alone?" Arisa said. Hanajima nodded.
"Um, okay." Tohru said. "I'll be right back. I'm sorry for making you wait." Tohru said to Bella. Bella smiled.
"I'll be here, don't worry." Hanajima and Arisa dragged her to the back of the classroom. Little did they know the Cullens could still hear them.
"The kid sitting behind me, Edward I think, is giving me the chills! And the girl, Elisa, she hasn't breathed. At all!" Arisa said.
"And Alice is giving off very strange waves. I've never felt waves like that before." Hanajima said. Tohru frowned.
"They're good people! Bella caught me today when I was falling, and Edward's helped Kyo twice today. Hana, Ari, just chill. I like them." Hanajima and Arisa's mouths opened. They'd never heard her be so assertive. "Oh, I'm sorry! What did I say! They're just nice people! I'm sorry if I offended you!" Arisa and Hanajima sweat dropped.
"Fine, let's go hang out with them." They walked back over to Bella. Alice had moved and was sitting next to her. Edward was attempting to get to Bella and Alice, but was being mobbed by fan girls. Kyo was sitting next to Bella and Alice. Yuki looked like he was trying to get the nerve to talk to Elisa, who was hanging out a window breathing deeply.
"Um, Alice?" Hanajima said.
"Yes Hanajima?" Alice said.
"One, call me Hana, and two, why is Elisa hanging out the window?" Alice turned to look at Elisa. She sighed.
"One minute." Alice got up and went over to the window. She grabbed the back of Elisa's shirt and yanked her in, then started talking to her extremely quietly in English. Elisa stopped breathing again. Then Alice led her over to sit next to her in the circle. Yuki started to follow, but noticed the fan girls around Edward.
"He's got a girlfriend!" Yuki shouted at them. They all turned to face him. "It's true." They all sighed and went back to there seats.
"Thank you SO much, Yuki. That was impossibly painful." Especially since he was a vampire. They went over and sat with the rest of the group, where Hana was explaining her waves to Alice, Bella and Elisa.
"That's way cool!" Alice said with enthusiasm. She looked at Edward and thought, check her mind, see if she suspects anything. He nodded ever so slightly towards her and went into her mind. These people have such strange waves. The intense feeling of…is it hunger? Coming off of them is scary; it's a hunger for…people? Edward jumped up.
"What's wrong?" Tohru asked.
"I need to talk to Alice." He walked away and Alice followed him. Once again they talked in English. The rest of their family listened in.
"She
feels what she calls a hunger for humans. I think Elisa needs to
learn more control." Edward told her.
"Definitely. And what
was that window stunt? We're trying to blend." Alice said. Elisa
frowned.
"You have to realize this is extremely painful for her, I know, I can hear it in her mind."
"Mm, well, let's get back before they start to think our little conversation in hushed English is suspicious." Alice nodded. They walked back to the group.
"What was that?" Kyo asked.
"I wanted to make sure she wasn't getting another migraine, she looked close to one." Edward lied.
"Oh,
kay." The rest of lunch went without incident, as did the rest of
the day. Detention, however, was a different story.

"Kyo, I'll sweep over here. You can do the chalkboards." Bella said firmly.
"I'll do whatever I want!" Kyo said angrily, and then started clapping erasers together.
"Idiot! You're getting the dust on the ground!!" She shouted at him.
"Get off of my case!!! Crazy bitch." Kyo said.
"Do you want a repeat of this morning?" She threatened. Kyo shut up and started wiping down the chalkboard. Kyo was walking to re-wet the rag when he tripped.
"Ah!" He shouted as he fell. Reacting with superhuman reflexes, Bella ran and caught him. POOF! Kyo was gone, and Bella was holding an orange cat.
*Bella POV*
Holy shit! Where'd Kyo go? And this cat, and his clothes, and OH MY GOD HIS SECRET IS HE TURNS INTO A CAT!! The cat scratched me and meowed, rubbing against me.
"Cut it out, Kyo. If you were a normal cat, you would be running away from me." The cat frowned.
"I am so dead." He said. I picked him up.
"Tell me everything. Now." The Kyo cat twitched.
"I'm already in so much trouble!" He whined.
"TELL ME!" I shouted at him. The cat vanished in another poof, and in it's place I was now holding up a naked Kyo. I put him down and turned away. If I could blush, I would.
"Sorry." He said. I heard his clothes rustle as he slid into them. "Alright." I turned. "Our hour is up, let's go home." He said. I nodded, and we put the cleaning supplies away and left. As we walked, I asked him again.
"Tell me, please. I can't spill because you know my secret already." Kyo sighed.
"My
family is cursed. When some of us are hugged by a member of the
opposite sex or are weak, we turn into a zodiac animal."
"A…zodiac
animal?" I asked.
"You've never heard of the Zodiac?" He asked me.
"No."
"Come to
our house? Tohru tells it better than I do."
"Definitely." I
said. "I'm already in trouble today so why not?" I said. He
smiled as we walked up his path.
"Kyo! And you brought a high school girl!" Shigure said. As we walked by him, Kyo whacked his head. "Ow!!" He said with a pout. What a childish, perverted man.
"Hello, I'm Bella Masen." I said.
"And I'm Shigure." He said. "You look great in that skirt." He said. I swallowed back some venom building up in my mouth and dug my nails into my thigh. The look on my face told Kyo to shut Shigure up. Kyo grabbed a large book and slammed Shigure on the head. Shigure started crying.
"AYAME! KYO HIT ME!" Ayame? Kyo slapped his head.
"He's here!?" Kyo shouted. A man with long hair who looked like an older Yuki walked around the corner.
"I am! And so are Haru, Kagura, Kisa, Hiro, Rin, Hatori and Momiji! It's a party!!" A man with black hair covering one of his eyes walked around the corner.
"Tori!" Shigure cried. "Kyo hit me!"
"And probably for a good reason." Hatori said. He noticed me standing statue still next to Kyo. "I suppose it's time for everyone to leave. I'm Hatori Sohma, by the way. This is Ayame Sohma, brother of Yuki." Hatori said as he extended his hand to me. I took it. He shivered slightly at the cold touch of my hand.
"I'm Bella Masen, nice to meet you." Ayame ran up to me, inspecting me.
"A beautiful girl you've brought over! You should come to my shop one day, get you into something prettier." Something tells me he and Alice would get along quite well.
"Come along Ayame." Hatori said. "It was nice to meet you, Bella. I hope we meet again." He grabbed Ayame's arm and dragged him away.
"Farewell, sweet maiden." Ayame called.
"He's related to Yuki?" I asked.
"Yeah, I know." Kyo said. I heard Hatori rounding everyone up. I saw a parade of people walking by me. A little boy with a rabbit backpack waved at me. I waved back hesitantly. Tohru came up to me.
"Bella! Hi, what are you doing here?"
"Oh, well, Kyo invited me over. A sort of welcome to the neighborhood after detention thing." I said. Not that much of a lie.
"I'm going to read!" Shigure said.
"Yeah, perverted books!" Kyo shouted after him as Shigure ran upstairs.
"So, Tohru." I said. "Do you know the story of the Chinese Zodiac?" I asked her. "I saw a book about it in the classroom and asked Kyo about it, and he said you tell the story better than he does." I lied fluently.
"Oh, sure!" Tohru said. She began to tell me the story. I was actually really captivated by it! She's quite the storyteller.
"And the
poor cat was left at home, dreaming of the banquet he could never go
to. The end." She said.
"You can really tell a story!" I
said. I looked at my watch, it was 6. "Oh, shit. Edward is gonna be
freaking out!" I exclaimed. "Thank you so much for the story, but
I really need to go now. I'll see you two tomorrow." I said, and
I jumped up.
"Bye Bella!" Tohru said.
"See ya." Kyo said. His eyes were pleading me not to tell anyone. I nodded very slightly in his direction. He smiled. I began to walk away, but when I reached the door I heard yelling.
"YOU STUPID CAT! HOW MUCH DOES SHE KNOW?" I heard Yuki shout.
"She's not going to tell anyone." Kyo said.
"Crap. You idiot!" Yuki said.
"YOU'RE THE IDIOT!" Kyo shouted, and I heard him jumped at Yuki. Yuki dodged it, judging by the swoosh of air, and Kyo collided into a bookcase. The bookcase was going to hit Tohru. I whirled around and ran, vampire speed, not caring if all of the Sohmas found out my secret, just wanting to protect Tohru. I grabbed Tohru and pushed the bookcase hard, causing it to fly across the room. Tohru and Yuki were staring at me. Yuki blinked to make sure what happened really happened, and then said one thing.
"What ARE you?"
END
