"By the way, why are you 2 walking to school together today? Because I've never seen the 2 of you walking to school together until today so details please, Yuki-kun and Honda-san." asked Miyuki curiously to both Yuki and Tohru.

"U-Um, well… That's because I discover a house in the middle of the woods, met Soma-kun's older cousin Shigure Soma-san and we talk about the old zodiac animal tale that had the cat in it until…" said Tohru nervously to Miyuki.

"… Until I showed up, suggest and told her that we'll be going to school together and Honda-san agree to it and then we saw you sending your little brother to school on the way." said Yuki.

"I see. That'd explain it and I hope that your fangirls doesn't see you going to Kaibara high school with us, got jealous and get the wrong idea and telling us off about it." said Miyuki warningly to both Yuki and Tohru. "Especially Motoko and her annoying sidekicks…" added Miyuki in annoyance in her mind.

"Yeah, how right you are, Miyuki." said the familiar voice of Isamu from behind Miyuki, Yuki and Tohru, which make them turned around to glance at Isamu and Goro.

"Good morning, you all." greeted Isamu politely to Miyuki, Yuki and Tohru.

"Y-Yeah, good morning to you, Toudou-san. And you too, Akechi-san." greeted Tohru slightly nervously to both Isamu and Goro.

"Good morning, Miyuki-san, Yuki-kun and Honda-san." greeted Goro politely to them as well.

"So she somehow discover Shigure-san's house in the middle of the woods before meeting and talking to Shigure-san, the sly schemer, huh? Sure hope she doesn't find out and knew about our "curse" secret and attract Aki-chan's cold and harsh attention." added Miyuki concernly in her mind about Tohru finding out and knowing about their "curse" secret as she, Yuki, Tohru, Isamu and Goro walked on in silence until they arrived and entered Kaibara high school, met and greeted some students walking around them, with 2 of the students being a fair-skinned, long silver-haired, pale blue-eyed 16 year old girl named Akemi Kanzaki wearing the same uniform as Miyuki, Isamu and Tohru and a slightly tan-skinned, short brown-haired, brown-eyed 16 year old guy named Ken Amada wearing the same uniform as Yuki and Goro.

"Oh! Good morning, Kanzaki-san and Amada-san!" greeted Tohru happily to both Akemi and Ken.

"Good morning and you're as cheerful as ever, huh, Honda-san? And good morning to you too, Yuki-kun." greeted Akemi happily and politely to both Tohru and Yuki while ignoring and not looking at Miyuki, Isamu and Goro (same goes for Ken).

"Yeah, that's how I am…" said Tohru before she gasp and widened her eyes in surprise when 4 girls suddenly showed up, grab and drag her away from them.

"There she goes and good luck in explaining and getting away from them, Honda-san." thought Miyuki with a pity look on her face for Tohru before she, Isamu and Yuki saw both Akemi and Ken turned and walked away from them with Goro following behind them.

"Looks like they're still angry and disappointed at you two and Akechi after what happened, huh?" asked Yuki as he glance sadly at both Miyuki and Isamu.

"Seems so, Yuki-kun… Come on, let's get to class." sighed Miyuki before she, Isamu and Yuki went to the "Home Economics Room" for their first lesson.

Inside the Home Economics Room…

"Class, today I want to see you all try cooking a simple miso soup and grilled fish meal. You may begin now!" said the Home Economics female teacher to the students before they began taking out the ingredients and cooking utensils and began cooking.

"You poor thing, being scolded and harassed by those girls earlier. Still, it's not every day Hanajima and I see you came to school with the 2 Princes and the student council president who's Yuki Soma and Goro Akechi, the Siren Isamu Toudou and the Death Wave Miyuki Arisato girls." said a slightly tan-skinned, long blonde-haired, brown-eyed tall and pretty girl named Arisa Outani wearing the same uniform (but with a long skirt instead of a short one) as Tohru sadly and curiously to Tohru about her earlier predicament.

"I'll admit, seeing and coming to school with them does make me nervous, Ou-chan. Toudou-san, Arisato-san and Soma-kun are beautiful and Akechi-san is a handsome one…" said Tohru.

"Hm, I guess so." said Arisa as she shrugged her shoulders.

"You know… I find their waves quite strange. Not just them, Ken Amada and Akemi Kanzaki too." said a pale-skinned, long black-haired, purple-eyed beautiful girl named Saki Hanajima wearing the same uniform as Arisa and calmly holding a kitchen knife in front of her face.

"Here comes Hanajima's Wave Report. And what about them is strange?" asked Arisa curiously to Saki.

"That's the thing-I'm not sure." replied Saki as she put the kitchen knife back in it's leather sheath and glance suspiciously at Yuki, Miyuki, Akemi and Isamu.

"True, they're a little mysterious. I heard when a second-year confessed her love to Soma a while back and tried to hug him… he pushed her away. Surprised and scared the heck out of her while I heard Arisato, Amada, Kanzaki, Toudou and Akechi were seen staying outside on days and nights when it's foggy, new moon and full moon one time by other students…" said Arisa suspiciously about them as well.

"Oh, is that so? I didn't know until you say it…" said Tohru as she stop stirring the pot of soup and glance curiously at Yuki, Miyuki, Akemi and Isamu until the teacher came to check on their progress, about to berate them only to see that they already did their cooking and prepare their meal before turning and walking away in a sulking manner.

"Well, enough talk about them. Hey, Tohru, I'm going shopping with Hanajima after school. Wanna come?" asked Arisa as she, Saki and Tohru sat down.

"Sorry, I have to work today." said Tohru sadly and apologetically to Arisa.

"Right, you promised to pay your own tuition, didn't you? That must be rough." sighed Arisa.

"But you work almost daily. That shouldn't be necessary just for tuition, surely?" said Saki as she's done putting rice into a bowl and gave it to Arisa (who thanked her for it).

"I'd like to start living alone after I graduate, though, so I have to start saving now!" said Tohru optimistically and confidently to both Arisa and Saki, which surprise them a little and they talked a bit more about her wages and family before ceasing their conversation to eat their meal, unaware that others overheard their conversation.

"That poor girl…" thought Isamu as she watched Tohru with a pity look on her face after she overheard her conversation with her 2 friends.

"Hm? What is it, Isamu?" asked Miyuki as she noticed the pity look on Isamu's face.

"It's nothing, Miyuki. Shall we eat?" said Isamu as she glance and shake her head at Miyuki before they sat down and began eating their meal too.
