We sat out at the airport pick-up for only a few moments when our temp. parents drove up with a large red minivan. They honked us, scaring most of everyone in our group, minus Shigure. Yuki, suprisingly was scared shitless, but he only jumped and sweat a little.
"So! You're the Sohma family, eh? said the male temporary parent after rolling down his window and popping his head out with a creepy smile. I didn't understand a word, so I just grinned with a twitch and nodded my head, hearing our family name.
"Aww... he doesn't understand us!" he stated smiling happily, the female temp. parent leaning over and smiling with an 'aww' as well.
"I'm Kyo Sohma, who the hell are you?" I informed and asked, giving a furrowed brow expression. They stared at me for a moment, then at each other, "'Watashi' what?" the male asked the female temp. parent. She shrugged then looked around at all of us, then put the car in park and got out of the car. She was a very tall woman... very suprising... most of our older women shrink at her age... she wasn't that old looking... but still. After a bit of confusion on either ends, Shigure and Yuki finally walked up, "Yes, we are Sohma family... only small few though" Yuki stated. Shigure spoke better english since he was in front of it more than all of us, even Yuki. Yuki only knew it because he chose to take that stupid class.
"I am Shigure Sohma, the adult of this group..." Shigure stated, then beginning to point around our group, "This is Yuki Sohma, he's the only other person who knows English, and he's getting better at it. Out of everyone here he gets the best grades" he finished with Yuki; he then looking quite satisfied with himself, "It is nice to meet you" Yuki said politely. I cursed at him aloud. He grunted and then whiped around and glared at me, "Kyo, you friggen better be glad that they don't speak Japanese, or else I'd be tempted to kick your ass right now" he warned. I scoffed and stanced, "What? What was that? Bring it!" I shouted, startling the temp. parents.
"I am sorry, he don't like me much" Yuki explained... doesn't matter, I couldn't understand it anywho. Shigure laughed, and then the parents asked something I didn't catch, pointing at me. I glared at them defiantly, and stood straight, "Oh.. him? That's another member of the family... sorry to say though that he's an outcast" he stated chuckling some more. I wanted to know what he said, "Shigure, you dog, what did you say?" I asked. He laughed and said, "I called you an outcast" I grumbled then cursed at him, "Why do you have to go blabbing all the time? Are you going to be confessing anything you shouldn't be anytime soon?"
"OH OH OH!! That was a cute sounding word! Mr.Shig what does 'inu' mean?" the female parent asked. Shigure sweat a little then sighed, "Oh? Uh.. well it means 'dog'" then he mumbled that his name was Shigure, not shig. I laughed loudly.
"Mr.Shigure, you never told us what his name was..." stated the male parent. Shigure bowed and pointing at me again stated, "This is Kyo Sohma. He's got a short temper like a cat, but he's not really all that bad. He argues with Yuki alot though, so watch out for that. It's better to just leave him be to himself. He also practices his martial arts skills alot, so don't take any lip from him and send him away from the house"
"OH! There is a really nice large park with open fields that he can do whatever and stuff in" she stated happily, tugging on the male parents sleeve, "See, I told you there would be athletic ones!" she stated happily towards her husband. Shigure grinned then continued the introductions as quickly as possible, with little attached bios as well, "This is Kagura Sohma, she's also a martial artist, but if you see Kyo and her fighting... don't take it as a killing thing. They fight very dangerously all the time" he laughed, Yuki stating and introduction as well, "This Hatsuharu Sohma... he has sides we call black and white. He good mood one second, bad next. He martial artist as well, I am too. He actually very nice most of the time. He usually keep to himself"
The parents nodded as they shook hands with eveyone, "This is Momiji Sohma, he's half Japanese half German, so some things he says I can't understand... and just recently he took up learning a little Turkish, so it's going to be a little hard for us to translate anything for you. I find it easier to try and teach them to speak some English why their here, so it will make the time we will be living here easier on us" he stated as the parents shook hands with him.
Momiji just said something in German happily then hugged them both, "Momiji, please speak in Japanese if you're going to be saying anything, so I can translate" asked Shigure, grinning uneasily. Momiji sighed then hugged them again, "CHI CHI! HA HA!" Shigure sighed then said, "I sure hope you mean mother..."
"What did he say? It sounded Japanese that time?" the mother asked, "Ah.. well, all he said was 'dad! mom!' cute, ne?" Shigure stated.
After all the introductions were finished, we got everything into the van easily. Getting in as well, just as easily. The parents were obviously veering away from me since they heard my bio. Good, then I won't have to deal with them.
This time, I was near the window of the van and I sat next to Kagura. Yuki was next to her and Tohru next to him, then Shigure, Hatsuharu and Momiji were behind us in the second row of seats. Kagura tried to scoot away from me suprisingly, then she all of a sudden shoved me, "What was that for!?" I asked her loudly.
"Cat! Shut up" demanded Yuki. I growled then hissed at him, he just sighed and turned his view away. Then he leaned forward and began talking to the parents.
FINALLY MAKING IT TO THE HOUSE
I wheezed as I lugged in most of the baggage, "why can't these stupid people carry their own shit?!" I grunted out, finally getting everything in the house.
"Sometimes don't you just wonder what it would be like if we could understand Japanese?" the female parent asked her husband, "What the hell are you saying?! I can't understand you!!!" I shouted at them. They looked startled, then Shigure walked in shaking his head, "Kyo, calm down... you'll never learn to undersatnd English if you keep throwing tantrums. Besides I don't think Yuki would teach you, and you have to get on my good side if you want me to teach you" He stated, grinning wickedly. I grunted then stormed off, "I'll learn it myself!!" I shouted leaving the house.
"Don't forget the bags Kyo!!!" Shigure shouted after me, "Fuck you!! You can shove the bags up your ass for all I care!!!" I shouted back walking past everyone, steam almost literally shooting out of my ears.
"What's up with him?" asked Haru stopping in mid step to turn and watch me storm off. Yuki shrugged, "Who knows, and who cares?" he asked drooling sarcasm, and continueing on walking. Kagura had already gone upstairs to make herself at home, and Tohru was behind the others still outside, as she watched me storm off she put her hand to her mouth thinking, and giving a troubled expression.
I took a walk around the block getting to know my surrounding better since Ill be living here I guess, and to let off some steam. I kicked a rock that was in my path, it landed in a yard and then stopped. I looked at it as I passed by it, looking at the many houses. There was a small back woods area behind the neighborhood, but other than that it was all buildings. When I made it back to the house later, I had to find a map of something and figure out if there are any forests or woods or ANYTHING out here where we were staying. I then began to stare at the ground with my hands in my pocket, everyonce in a while looking up to make sure I wasn't going ot run into anything.
The next time I lifted my head up Tohru was standing in front of me... I had gone around the neighborhood alright, in one big circle, straight back to the house. She giggled as I looked around confused for a moment, I blushed remembering things that we've done... not so innhocent anymore. I looked at her and gave her a faint grin, "I think I should go for a longer walk if I want to let off some more steam" I stated, starting up my walk again. I felt a hand grab mine, and I turned to see Tohru, still smiling, "Would you mind if I came with you?" she asked, very sweetly. I sighed then took her hand and pulled her after me, so we took our walk holding hands.
"What's on your mind?" Tohru finally asked, breaking the silence, as we had been walking for about an hour now. I shrugged, then looked up and over, noticing a small park, then noticed that Tohru was pulling me towards it, "T-Tohru, wh-?" I began asking. She covered my mouth with one of her fingers against my lips, "Don't ask questions, tell me what's on your mind," She stated, sitting on a swing. I stood in front of her, "You better move, unless you enjoy being hit by people in swings" I quickly moved to the side and leaned against the bar there as she watched me, going on with her swinging.
"Well? Talk Kyo-kun" she stated, going higher and higher. I sighed then looked over at the ground next to me, "I don't know... I just don't feel right" I answered, Tohru still going on with her swinging, "You don't feel right about... us?" she asked. I shook my head, "No.. no, it's not about us. I don't feel right about... being here. Something's just getting me all worked up and I don't know what" I corrected. She looked ahead, "ah I see" was all she said. Then there was silence.
"What do you think it is?" She began again.
"I don't know!" I shouted throwing my arms in the air, she flinched, "I-i'm sorry" was all she stated. I took a hold of her swing and stopped her, standing right in front of her, "Don't be, alright?" I demanded of her. She looked up at me with large frightened eyes. I couldn't stand that look, it was too innhocent. I bent down on my knees and looked at her in the face, "I just don't know what to think of this feeling for America... it's a very odd feeling" I said, still holding on to the chains of her swing. She patted my cheek, "Well this is a very different country" She tried helping. I shook my head, "No... this is VERY odd... almost alien. It's a very... barbaric feeling" I tried discribing the feeling, look up and at the ground and around. Suddenly some American looking kids ran up and began sliding down slides and getting dizzy on mari-go-rounds. I shook my head then stood back up, loosing my chance. She got off the swing as well. Some older looking kids walked near us as I continued talking to Tohru, "I don't know what to make of these new parents... I don't even know there names! Nobody tells me anything!!" I shouted. Startling the older kids. They looked at me, then one of them walked over and tapped me on the shoulder, I turned towards her quickly, "What do you want!?" ("DAEDE DA?!") She jumped then asked, "I... um just wanted to know something" I grunted, "I don't know english!!" I stated angrily. She nodded getting the idea, "I just said that I wanted to know something" she stated. I looked at her, "You know Japanese?" I asked. She nodded. Her friends just grunted then walked on, "You Japanese freak!" they said jokingly, which is all I understood, was the tone.
"I'm kind of having a conversation with my lover here" I stated, Tohru blushed. The girl blushed as well, then began stuttering, "I'm very sorry, but...Well, um... I just wanted to confirm something"
I sighed, then scratched my head, "Go ahead, ask away" I grunted. She grinned, "Are you staying with the Prescotts?" she asked a little edgy. I shrugged, "I really dont know... Shigure-san, Yuki, Kagura, Hatsuharu, nor Momiji have told me... let alone Tohru" I finished.
She looked remarkably happy, "Who are they?" She asked, nearly boincing around us. I stared at her for a moment, "I could introduce you. This is Tohru" I finished stating, pointing to Tohru beside me. Tohru bowed, along with the girl, but then the girl took Tohru's hand and shook it. Odd way to great someone. Tohru smiled, happy to meet someone new.
"No that's alright for now... I just need to know who you're staying with. We heard that some foriegn echange students were moving in our neighborhood... and since you seem to be the only foriegn people I guess you're them!" She happily concluded. I nodded with a sigh, "Obviously... unless you see some other Japanese people around here... let me know and we can have a festival!" I sarcastically added. She smiled stupidly, but then put her hand out to take mine, I let her have it and she shook it, "I'm sorry, my name's Gale Weathers" I nodded my head, "Pleaseure I'm sure" I said drooling with sarcasm. Tohru poked me to stop it. I chuckled, "Sorry 'GALE' but I don't know... you'd proabably have to come with us to find out from my other family members" I stated.
I grunted then bowed, "Oh yes... my name is Kyo Sohma and Tohru's whole name is Tohru Honda" I stated, Tohru joining in the bow once again, Gale bowed again as well, "Is it like the car company Tohru-chan?" she asked. Tohru stared at her, "huh?"
I waved my hand for it away then began walking, "If you want to find out, just follow us" I offered. Gale looked behind her after her friends, then just leaving them out of her thoughts she began walking after us.
Tohru leaned over close to me and whispered, "You didn't even think about asking me did you?" I stared at her, "Well you never thought about telling me when I was saying I didn't know, now did you?" I asked having the last laugh, "I don't think you know anyway" she chuckled slightly, "no not really" she finished. I laughed, "I knew it" Gale didn't bother poking in, I suppose she knows that getting into other people's business is wrong.
We soon ended up at the house we were staying at, I looked back at Gale, she had wide eyes.
"Well, now I know who you're staying with, I better go now" she stated edging. I pushed Tohru towards her, Tohru getting the idea, "NO! please just let us introduce you to Kyo-kun's family!!!" She smiled akwardly then followed in after me.
"Kyo!? Where have you been?" asked Shigure with a sly grin, "and with Tohru no less" he added, then seeing the complete stranger, "Who's that?" he asked. I grinned then looked towards Gale, "Why don't you ask her yourself?" I asked.
"What makes you think that this American knows Japanese?" he asked with a little laugh. Gale glared at him, "What do you mean by 'that American'? I speak Japanese very well I must say" she stated. I laughed, and Shigure coughed, "Well, pardon me, I am very sorry, and you do speak Japanese very well" He apologized. Gale looked at me, "Well who's this?" Shigure bowed, then walked over towards her and shook her hand, "My name is Shigure Sohma, I'm a freelance writer, I'm the best at speaking English out of our group here... minus the Prescotts, and I'm the adult out of the few from our family here" he stated, ending with a kiss to the top of her hand. Gale blushed, "my my" Shigure chuckled behind his fan, calling down the others. They didn't come that quickly, but they came nonetheless.
I stood there as Shigure continued with some more introductions, "This is Hatsuharu Sohma, he has a split personality... he's usually very charming, so they say. He's quite easy to get along with. He doesn't know any english, minues a few words like hello, goodbye, yes, and no" Haru bowed, "this is Momiji Sohma, he's alot older than he looks, he's half German half Japanese, he knows many languages, but no English.. though he's starting to take an interest to adding it to his language collection. He loves sweets and eating. He's a little hyper most of the time, and he acts a little childish at times, but you learn to love him" Momiji bowed, "This is Kagura Sohma, she can get a little temper, and she's a little over dramatic. She would hate for me to say that, but of course she doesn't know any english at all either. She loves Kyo, and doesn't know that he's with her" he stated poking his head in Torhu's direction, Kagura bowed, "you already met Kyo Sohma, in which he's WAY over aggressive and he picks fights alot, he's got a serious anger management problem, and unlike Kagura he at least knows when to be calm. He also tends to over react at times though" Yuki laughed, "That's an understatement" he added in.
Shigure chuckled, "This is Yuki Sohma, he's the only other person that knows English... he's very good at it, though he's still working on it. He's usually very quiet and he keeps to himself, he can't stand putting up with Kyo's crap and-" Yuki coughed then stopped Shigure, "Shigure-san, I think I can handle it from this point. I understand you, you forget" Yuki stated, Shigure nodded then laughed lightly, "I'm sorry, please go right ahead an introduce yourself" I scoffed.
Then before Shigure could let Yuki start he added, "You may not think so, but little Mr.attitude over there actually WANTS to learn English, because we all know that he cannot stand not being able to understand what's going on" he got his word in finally, Yuki coughed and Shigue looked at him then scratching his head he shut up, "Thank you for shutting up... now, my name is Yuki Sohma, I not ALWAYS keep to myself, I not mind have conversations with people. Also, as a pre-warning... Kagura, Kyo, Haru and I all know martial arts, so if one of them begin fighting or something... just ignore it. It's quite frequent" Gale nodded. Then he finished up introducing himself, and after Shigure introduced Tohru, being that I ignored it and couldn't understand it anywho We finally went back to speaking Japanese, thank Buddha.
"I'm sorry, I didn't introduce myself. My name is Gale Weathers" she stated, bowing. Shigure flapped his fan dramatically, "It's alright, go ahead and forget ANYTHING!" I kicked him, "Stop it" I ordered. He sobbed pathetically then walked out of the room. Gale looked around looking like she was a little out of place, "So how long are you staying here? Are you registering for the nearby highschool?" I shrugged, and the others nodded.
"EVET EVET!! We're going to Winser High!" Shouted Momiji happily, throwing his arms in the air. I shook my head, "idiot" I mumbled.
"Well that's cool I guess, that's where I'm going now" Gale stated, "sad thing is that spring vacation is almost over"
"What's 'spring vacation'?" asked Momiji, "It's a week long break from school during the spring" answered Yuki. Someone's obviously out done all of us when it came to American homework.
"Everythings in everyone's room!" shouted Shigure, "and YES! Everyone has their own beds!!!" Shigure added.
Hearing what Shigure shouted Gale smiled, "I better get going now, my friends are probably mad that I left them... they think that I learned Japanese for a stupid reason... but hey! Here I am talking to you guys!" Everyone nodded in agreement, I just grunted.
"Well, I guess all I have to say to you is Welcome to America!!!" welcomed Gale happily.

Note:
I was a little drunk when I finished this story... I'm still kinda drunk as i'm typing this... i can type fine, but my eyes hurt staring at the screan. blurg... maybe I should NOT type when I'm drunk... i'm getting a headachee staring at the screen. Turkey has a different age limit when it comes to drinking, and my sister doesn't mind... so I went ahead and got drunk... that's all I drink forrr. I only take sips when trying a new drink and i don't like turkish beer "efes" an something else... i've come to realize that i like margaritas, and mastofa or something like that... i can never remember the name... I like strawberry daquiries.. i dunno how to spell that last word either... I didn't have enough time to get to try the other stuff... I wanted to try smirnoff berry twist with sprite and some lemon, but i didn't have time.. I already know i like smirnoff ice. I know i like corona. I tried something called a "apple pie" while on a hash boat trip after a hash run (it's a drinking group, that do nothing but do stupid stuff and drink to make it funny). and apple pie consists of vodka, apple juice, cinnomon, and whip cream. you put your head back and have 1 or 2 people put it in your open mouth, then after they are finished you get up and swoosh it around in your mouth then drink it... it tastes EXACTLY like an apple pie!!! well, i'm going ot bed now... i'm not as trashed as my sister, being that i have enough sense to type normally, unlike my sister... AH HAH!!! well g'night! blurg... my eyes...
OH OH OH! damnit i forgot about the story... um... we'll find some more stuff out, er wateva... -- evet... there ya go.
Thanks:
B-chan77- what part should have been cut? I could've written more... and I still can't believe I wrote a straight relationship!!! GURG!!! Let me know what you think of chapters to come!!
riceball- i have no clue at the moment if it's going to be a lemon or anything at all, for that matter. I just go with the flow, so if it turns out into a lemon, i'm sorry. if it doesn't then YAY, i suppose... the story was never really meant to have an lovey-dovey stuff in it. but for the story line to lead to what i'm aiming for, then i had to make a little... it also kinda happened... so i hope it didn't spoil whatever you were going to be eating afterwards after reading it... i hope you enjoyed nonetheless.
