Alright, I'm not going to lie. I know I promised to start this chapter after me PLAN test, but I sadly have not started it until now (3/15/2013). I know, you can be mad at me for lying, but I finally took my finals, and I think I did good on them. Anyway, I decided that I was going to power through this, because I should not have anything major to do. All I have to do is clean my basement for me and my sisters birthday party(I'm turning 17)… I feel so old. The other reason is because I'm currently sick. These meds I'm on makes my really dizzy and EXTREAMLY tired. It's at times like these I want a beta reader. So, if anyone is up for the challenge, I would love to have one.

Disclaimer: As much as I would love to own Fruits Basket, I sadly do not. I only own the plot, any OC characters, my medication, the tea I am currently drinking, and the glasses on my head.

(Tohru's POV, Next day)

The next morning I woke up, and it was a huge blizzard. I looked around, to find myself wondering what the time was, and where I was at. I suddenly remember I was with the Somah's house. I looked around, and found the clock, and it read: 3:00 AM.

What the heck was I going to do for another four hours? I got out of bed, wide awake, and went downstairs. I got past the kitchen, took one look at it, and started cleaning. I had a system going down; I would start breakfast in the oven. It was a hash of some sorts, where it had potatoes (cubed), eggs, chunks of sausage, and cheddar cheese. Then, I would start on the stove top and oven, so it could go in and cook. After that, I would start on the biggest part; the floor. While doing the floor, I would do the counters simultaneously. After around three hours, the hash came out. You know what they say, the slower you cook, and the better the recipe is. Finally, after another half hour, I was done.

I decided it was time to wake everyone up. I started with my mom, moved onto Shigure, Yuki, and finally Kyo. I got into his room to find him not there. 'I wonder where he went,' I thought to myself. I looked at the window to find it open (as well as no blizzard anymore), and saw the whole side of the house was covered with ivy.

"I wonder where this leads. I'm sure they will not notice that I'm gone because they're eating." I started to climb, and was surprised that the ivy did not break, unlike any other circumstances. I finally reached where the ivy stopped, the roof. I looked across it, and saw Kyo staring at the sunrise.

"Hey, are you cold? I came to wake you up for breakfast," I told him, startling him in the process.

"How in the hell did you get up here? I thought I was the only one with cat-like reflexes!" he yelled.

"I came to wake you up for breakfast. The question I would like to know is how did you get up here? I mean, you have a broken arm!" I tried to say as calmly as I could.

"I climbed one handed. Anyway, I came up here to think before school. This is my special spot I come to if I need some alone time, or time to think," he told me.

"Oh, well, come on. You need something to eat before you go to school," I told him in a motherly voice.

"Alright, let's go. I don't want them to think you got lost in this small house," he told me, concern coming into is voice.

We got down and back into his room, and went downstairs. We passed the kitchen, and I noticed that Kyo had stopped to look.

(Kyo's POV)

When we got to the main floor and passed by the kitchen, I thought I was in the wrong house. I could not believe my eyes; the kitchen was clean. It was so clean, I thought it was a museum, it sparkled so much.

"Um, Tohru, which floor are we on?" I asked, not wanting my eyes to deceive me.

"The main floor, why?" she told me, as if she didn't see it.

"It's because I think we're not on the main floor. In fact, I think we're in the wrong house," I told her.

"No, I cleaned the kitchen this morning. I must say, I cannot wait to have breakfast and head off to school. Let's get some breakfast, and get ready," she told me, and I followed her, awe struck by the cleaning job.

We finally got into the dining room where everyone else was sitting, and Tohru gave her mother a hug.

"Did you guys see the kitchen? I was up at three, and I couldn't fall back asleep, so I made breakfast and cleaned it. Now I can cook dinner tonight, and not have to worry about getting the kitchen clean when I get home from school," she told her.

"Yeah, that sounds like you. I'm glad you thought of making this for breakfast; we haven't had it in a while. I remember that this was your dad's favorite. I wish he could've been here to see how you've grown up to be a nice, fine young woman," Kyoko told her only child.

"Thanks mom. I miss him too," she told her.

We both sat down to eat, and got ready. Just as we were heading out, Tohru told her mom to be safe, have a good day, and gave her a hug as we all headed off.

(Tohru's POV)

We got to school, and I immediately joined up with Uo and Hanna. Of course, we ran into 'Prince Yuki's' fan club, and demanded to know why Yuki, Kyo and I were not in school.

"Why do you think? Carrot top broke his arm, is there any other reason she would not need to be in school?" Uo told them, getting her 'I'm pissed off, move out of my way before I kill you and if you don't move in the next five seconds I really will kill you' face.

"Oh, that's not what we heard. We heard she was screwing them both," the leader said.

"Yeah, and you know what I heard? I heard that you only made that up on the spot. Now, if you spread that rumor, I will find you and break your pretty little nose. That goes for your whole club too," she threatened.

They walked away without saying anything else, heads bowed down in defeat. Of course, they should've already known not to mess with me when Uo is around. All of a sudden, we heard a huge commotion going on in another classroom.

"What do you mean by that? I do not dye my hair red! This is my natural color! Now, if you don't move out of my way in five seconds, I will kill you!" a girl with red hair and brown eyes said. From where I stood, I could see she was an American, and is very beautiful. I went over to help her out. Right when I got there, I saw that Yuki beat me to it.

"Can I help you Miss-" he waited for a reply.

"Alyssa. Do not pull that formal crap on me. When you call me Miss, that makes me sound old," she barked at him.

"Hello Yuki, do you think I could help in any way?" I asked him, Uo and Hanna right beside me.

"I'm sure you could," he told me and turned back to Alyssa. "Mi- um. Alyssa, what do you need? There should be no reason for you to cause a commotion like that," he told her.

"And who are you, I haven't had an introduction from you of her," she told him, pointing at me as well.

"Of course, how rude of me. My name is Yuki Somah, this is Tohru Honda. Those are her Friends Uo and Hanna," he told her. She seemed a little surprised that he was able to seem so calm.

"Well, nice to meet you all. I need help finding my classroom," she told him, handing him the slip of paper that was her schedule.

He took a quick glance at her paper, and told her," You have the same class as us, as well as my cousin."

"You have a cousin that attends here too? Is he just like you?" she asked.
"You'll find out. Miss Honda, could you guys escort Mi-" he corrected himself," Alyssa to the classroom, and help her find her way around? I have some student council stuff to take care of," he asked us.

"Sure, just leave it to us! Come on Alyssa, let's get going. It's right around the corn-" all of a sudden, I crashed into something, well, someone.

"What the hell! Watch where you're-" the person stopped in the middle of his sentence. I looked up and saw Kyo.

"Hey carrot top, watch where you're going!" Uo yelled at him.

"Sorry I was coming to find Tohru! Come on, let's go!" he said, wanting to get out of everyone's stairs because of his cast.

"Alright, this way Alyssa," I told her, Kyo leading the way into the classroom.

"So, who's that?" she asked.

"That's Yuki's cousin, Kyo. Trust me; he's the total opposite of Yuki. Unlike Yuki, he speaks his mind, and doesn't really care much about any kind of consequence. He got that broken arm because he was trying to protect my mom, and he couldn't get out of the way in time. Don't worry, when you get to know him, he's a great friend to have around," I told
her.

"So, Sparky is the total opposite of the Prince? Hey, Sparky!" she called to Kyo.

"Who are you referring to as 'Sparky'? It better not be me!" Kyo yelled at her.

"Well, considering as you're the only person with orange hair in the room, then you tell me who I'm referring to," she told him.

"That's it, be prepared to die!" Kyo said as he stood up. Just then, out of nowhere, Yuki showed up, giving him a slap in the back of the head, followed by a drop kick.

"What the hell was that for you damn rat? This doesn't concern you; this is between me and her! I know I'll beat you someday, but I can't right now because of my broken arm!" he yelled at Yuki.

"Do you know anything about her? She might look like nothing, but she's a master in martial arts. She could even give me a run for my money. If we were able to fight, I'm sure she would win, right Alyssa?" he asked her.

"Yeah, you're right. How did you know that about me? I haven't told anyone that I did martial arts," she admitted.

"It's in your files. I saw it lying there, and I wanted to see if you would be an excellent addition to our student council. With your academic grades and all the activities you did back in America, I would say that you're an excellent addition. If you want to, tell me. I could always use another hand, seeing as my vice president and one of my secretaries are running off spreading rumors about myself or trying to find me," Yuki told her.

"Really? Why don't they just do their work?" Alyssa asked.

"Because they don't like to work, and they love to mess with me," he told her bluntly.

Wow! I can't believe that I really finished this chapter… I wonder if I could post a second one today. Maybe tomorrow? I can't on Sunday, because it's my birthday party, and my birthday is on Monday. Anyway, please update! It would be the best present EVER if I could go to my inbox and see that ten people reviewed! I know that I'm getting old (turning 17), but your only 17 once! I can't believe that I only have three more days of being 16. Where has the year gone? Anyway, enough of my rambling, and thank God for spell check. Click that review button, and send me the best present I could get from my lovely viewers!
