Kyo POV

I got home and laid down on my bed, tired from a long day. Tohru walked in and sat down at my desk.

"Kyo-kun, you should at least change your clothes. You look like an axe murderer!" We both laughed for a while, then she spotted the holes on my neck. She stopped abruptly. "Kyo-kun! What happened?"

"I don't know, But they're smaller than they used to be." I looked up at her and she had an utterly shocked look on her face. She started hyperventilating.

"AHHH! You are hurt! You need a doctor! Shigure! Call Hatori-san!"

"Honda-san! What did that Baka Neko do to you this time?" Yuki came in the door, hair soaked and with a towel around his waist.

"Put some clothes on, Idiot!" Yuki flushed and walked away. "Tohru, calm down. I'ts just some mosquito bites. I'll be fine." She looked at me like I had told her I was secretely a 'Prince Yuki' Fangirl.

"Mosquito bites that are open holes?" She has a point there.

"Well, then I don't know what this is. It could be a vampire bite. Ooooh scary!" I teased her.

"A vampire?" She was spazzing out like a three year old watching a horror film, going on and on about fangs and blood...

"I was kidding!" She stopped her rant and blushed violently.

"When did you become so...relaxed?" I thought about this statement. "I'ts creepy. I need to make dinner."

After dinner, I took a shower and went up to bed. That girl, Maaka. Why do I remember her? I've never met her before, at least, that I remember.

Remember who, Kyo Sohma? I looked up at the mystery girl in front of me. It was Maaka! The same shiny, magenta hair and mocha brown eyes looked down at me with a happy gleam.

M-Maaka? Where did you come from? She put a finger to her lips and giggled a soft, pretty laugh

Shhhh, she laughed, It's a secret! I know you have a secret, too. My eyes widened. Did she know about the curse? She giggled. Of course I know! I am part of you for a while. I am Karin's counterpart, Sophia. When her nose was bleeding, some of it got into your body. There's also another reason, but I won't tell you that! Now you need to wake up. Wake up. up. up. up. up.Her voice echoed through my foggy mind. She smiled. Her pearly white teeth shined until, like the Cheshire Cat, she disappeared, leaving an akward aura in the room. I woke with a start, sweating all over, my hair clinging to my forehead. My heart was pounding. I needed to get to school.

Karin POV

I walked into the classroom, ready to start a new day.

"Good morning, Maaka-san!" Tohru's voice greeted me. "How are you today?"

"Great! Where are Kyo-san and Yuki-san? Don't they walk with you to school?"

"Not often. Sohma-kun does sometimes, and Kyo-kun did once."

"Oh, well I hope you have a good day!"

"I hope you're better today! It stinks to be sick on your first day, huh?"

"Yeah." She reminds me a little bit of Maki. "It really does. I'll see you soon, Honda-san!" I waved to her and walked my shortcut to my high school.

When I got there, Kyo and Yuki were arguing. At least they weren't beating each other up.

"I hate you, stupid cat! It makes me sick to look at you!"

"Oh yeah, Pretty boy? Let's take this outside!"

"Both of you need to stop fighting!" I butted in. Yuki looked at me and bowed lightly.

"Good morning, Maaka-san." I just bowed my head. Kyo stared at me with a look of confusion and fear.

"Kyo-san? Are you okay? What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." He replied with an troubled look. For the rest of the day, Kyo avoided me like the plague. I walked home and took a shower. I ate then went to bed. Kyo. He seems nice, but Yuki hates him. He seems like he is locked up inside. Is it bad to think about someone you barely know? I think we could become friends. So many thoughts were running through my mind at once, all Kyo-related. Should I talk to him? Could I help him? I thought myself to a deep sleep.

Finally a longer chapter! I am trying, but I cant write long. I write short and many! =3
