I stared at the two strangers. One had braided black hair and the other has blonde hair. I looked over at Momiji and smiled at him then looked at the two girls again.

"Hello" I greeted them. Tohru came into the living room.

"Good morning! I want you guys to meet Saki Hanajima and Arise Uotani. They're my two best friends" she introduced cheerfully. I smiled at them as I nodded to them.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Sara and this is Momiji" I responded. I looked over at Momiji.

"Nice to meet you" Arise said to us. I looked over at her and smiled.

"Please excuse us. We're off to get some breakfast" I said to them kindly. I pulled Momiji's hand as I smiled at the girls. "See you guys later." We walked into the kitchen and got two bowls out of the cabinet.

"What cereal would like to eat?" I asked Momiji. I turned around to face Momiji. Momiji smiled at me. I felt my cheeks burn up as I smiled back.

"Hmm . . . I don't know! How about . . . rice crispies!" he said excitedly. I blushed as I smiled at him.

"Kay!" I responded cheerfully. I grabbed the carton of milk and a box rice crispies. I poured us some rice crispies then the milk.

"Danke" Momiji said happily as he got us some spoons. I smiled at him as we walked over to the dinning table. We sat on the floor and began to eat.

"I wonder . . . " I began to say when suddenly there was a big bang. Momiji and I jumped up and ran out of the dinning hall to see what it was.

"Come on Stupid Rat! Right now!" Kyo shouted at Yuki. I ran over to Kyo and pushed him against the wall.

"Oi! Tohru's friends are visiting. You guys can fight later" I whispered to him. Kyo looked me with anger in his eyes. He pushed me away and ran off to his room. I heard the door slam behind him. I sighed as I looked over at Momiji.

"I should get home" he said to me. I sighed sadly as I walked toward him.

"I'll walk you home" I offered him as I took his hand in mine. He smiled as he bent toward me. My heart began to pound as he looked down at me. He rubbed his thumb against my cheek. Every stroke my cheeks would grow warmer.

"How cute" someone said behind us. Momiji and I broke apart. I turned around angrily to see who it was. I stared at Arisa furiously. "What's wrong with you?" she asked me. I glared at her as I started to turn to face Momiji.

"Don't worry about it. Kay?!" he said cheerfully. "You guys have company over. You must entertain them. I'll see you at school. Kay?! Auf Wiedersehen!" Momiji smiled at me as he took my hands. I watched him turn around and leave.

"Young love" Hanajima said. I turned around and stared at them.

"Here they are!" Tohru shouted as she ran into the room. I stared at her with a blank face then looked over at Arisa and Hanajima. "We can play Dia Hin Min!"

"Er . . . I don't know how to play Dia Hin Min" I said sadly. Tohru smiled at me as she walked over to a table.

"It's okay! Uo-chan and Hana-chan could teach you" she said to me. I looked over at Arisa and Hanajima as they sat at the table.

"It's okay. I'm going to go . . . " I began to say before I got cut off by someone.

"Hey Kyo!" Arisa shouted at him. I looked over and saw Kyo trying to sneak into the kitchen. "Come and join us! Or are you a scardy cat?" She said with an evil look. I looked over at her and stood up. Kyo pushed me out of the way and glared at Arisa.

"Damn Yankee!" He shouted at her.

"Let's make this interesting" she said with an evil grin. "If you lose, you have to bleach your hair." She smiled as Tohru handed out the cards.

"What are you guys playing?" Yuki asked us.

"We're playing Dia Hin Min. You should play with us!" Tohru replied excitedly. She looked over at me and smiled. "It would be more fun if you joined us." I grinned at her as I sat back down. She handed me some cards and I stared at them.

I laughed as I watched Kyo and Arisa fight over who won. It felt like we were playing Dia Hin Min for hours. I looked down at my watch and my eyes gone wide. The watch said seven p.m. already.

"Time has flown" I said to everyone. Tohru looked up at a clock behind her and nodded.

"I'll go cook the dinner" Tohru said as she got up. I looked up at her and watched her leave for the kitchen. I looked at Hanajima as she put away the cards.

"So . . . "Arisa began trying to make a conversation. "What year are you Sara?"

"I'm in 8th year" I replied happily. "Are you guys in 9th year also like Tohru, Kyo and Yuki?"

"Yeah. We knew Tohru for a while" Arisa replied.

"Oh yeah. Poor little Tohru has been through a lot" Hanajima added. I looked at Arisa then at Hanajima.

"Like what?" I asked them curiously.

"You guys will learn about her past since you guys are living with her" Hanajima answered.

"Dinner is ready!" Tohru called out excitedly as she ran back with bowls in her hands.

"Do you need help?" I asked her. Tohru smiled as she looked over at me.

"No thank you! I got it" she responded. Tohru ran into the kitchen and brought in a giant pot of rice. She poured everyone a bowl of rice. Everyone nodded thanks to her as she gave everyone their bowl.

We ate in peace during the meal. When everyone finished, Tohru took the dishes into the kitchen. I stood up and looked at Kyo. Kyo stared up at me and stood up.

"Well, I'm going to sleep in Kyo's room. You two could use my bed. See you guys in the morning" I said to them.

"Kyo, don't touch her" Arisa said with challenge in her voice. Kyo glared at her.

"She's my little sister! Why would I want to touch her!?" he shouted. Arisa smiled at him.

"Well, I don't know. So you guys are related?" she asked us. I looked at her and nodded.

"I'm adopted though" I replied. "His dad adopted me." I felt Kyo cringe at the word dad. I looked at Kyo then at Arisa.

"We're heading off to bed. Night" Kyo said as he grabbed my arm. He pulled me toward the hall and stopped.

"Why did you tell her you were adopted?" Kyo asked me. I looked at his orange eyes then looked away and felt him push me up the wall.

"I don't know" I said seriously. "Is that bad?" Kyo looked at me with anger in his eyes.

"I don't know. But you shouldn't have told them that. Who knows what could happen to you. Besides, Arisa would make fun of me" Kyo replied. I chuckled as he took my hand and dragged me to his room. "It's not funny!" he said as he pulled out a sleeping bag for me.

"I don't need a sleeping bag. I'll just sleep on the end of the bed" I said to him cheerfully. Kyo stopped and stared at me.

"No! What if one of Tohru's friends sees you?" Kyo asked me. I laughed slightly.

"I'm not going to transform in front of them" I responded.

"But what if you do in your sleep? You could. Just sleep in the sleeping bag. Please" Kyo half begged. I sighed and smiled at him.

"Okay. Fine" I said to him. He gave me the sleeping bag and smiled. "So . . . How is high school?" Kyo frowned at the question.

"I hate it" he answered coldly. "The girls are crazy. I don't understand why that damn rat likes it so much." I sighed as I laid down my sleeping bag on the floor.

"Do you like any girls?" I asked him curiously.

"No. Why would a girl like me anyway? They would be crazy" he replied. I sat on the floor on top of my sleeping bag and tilted my head.

"How so? What would you do if a girl told you she loves you?" I questioned. He looked away with confusion in his eyes. He sighed while thinking.

"I don't know. Probably ask her if she was sane" he answered. I looked at him with sadness in my eyes.

"I doubt it. You might love the girl back" I told him. Kyo looked at me with mix emotions. I couldn't read some of the emotions but the one I did read was shock in his eyes.

"How would you know?" he asked with fear in his voice. I looked at him and smiled slightly.

"I can't tell you. You're scared to get hurt aren't you? You're scared to get close to people except me" I said. Kyo glared at me with confusion in his glare.

"Just get ready for bed" he said to me with anger hinted in his voice. I nodded as I stood up. I walked into the hall and into my room. I grabbed my pajamas and headed toward the bathroom. I felt something fuzzy rubbed against my legs. I looked down and smiled.

"Hello snoopy" I said to her. Snoopy looked up at me and meowed. "Are you hungry?" I put on my yellow pj shirt with monkeys on it then the yellow shorts. "Come on luv. Lets get you some food." I walked down the hall with snoopy right behind me.

I stopped suddenly and felt pain go through my chest. I clutched my shirt and fell to the ground. I couldn't breathe and no one was there to help me. Everything was going black in my eyes. I heard someone run into the hall and grab me. I looked up to see who it is.

"Shigure!" Kyo shouted. I heard someone else run into the hall. I felt tears pour down my cheeks. Yuki stared at me with worriedly.

"What's wrong?" Shigure asked calmly. He looked at Kyo then at me. He walked over to the phone and called Hatori. I tried to fight the pain but everything was becoming even more dark.

No. Must fight it. Can't let this win again I thought. I closed my eyes for a second and opened them again. I stared at the ceiling then the walls. The room looked different. I sat up and looked to my right. Momiji was sleeping soundly on the chair. Then I spotted Kyo and Yuki who were sitting next to each other quietly.

"This is the first time you guys aren't fighting" I said while laughing slightly. Yuki and Kyo looked at me and smiled.

"Is she okay?!" I heard someone run in. I looked at the door and saw Tohru running in with tea in her hands. Yuki looked over at her and smiled.

"Yeah. I think she's fine" he answered. I looked at everyone confused.

"Where am I and what happened?" I asked them. Everyone looked away from me and sighed. "Did I miss something?"
