Okay now on with the story!
Chapter 4
Evoku let out a heavy sigh as she looked up towards the night sky. Just as she did so it began to rain once again. She bit her lip in worry, she hoped that her uniform wouldn't get too dirty in the process of running home and splashing any puddles of mud. Her face brightened when she saw the stairs that led to the temple she lived in.
As she made her way home she allowed her thoughts to wander back to what she'd just seen only minutes before. Souma Kyou was not the average teenaged boy. She'd snuck into their backyard and spied on them to see if anything was out of the ordinary. Besides Honda Tohru living with three other men, she'd witnessed Kyou change into a cat.
She'd seen strange things before and she always thought there was something odd about the Soumas, especially with the way Hanajima-san talked about their energy waves, but she never thought anything like this could happen, or exist for that matter.
A wave of guilt suddenly washed over her as she realized she'd invaded their lives and taken a precious secret from then without their permission. She knew that this was a huge secret and if she told anyone it would destroy them. She couldn't do that to them, or anyone for that matter.
She ran under the overhang and took off her shoes before opening the sliding door slowly and closed it softly behind her. She wiped the rain water off her face and twisted the water out of her hair as she walked towards the small mirror that hung on the wall.
She looked up and noticed that her eyes were red and puffy. A saddened expression was plastered on her face and she suddenly realized that she'd been crying over what she'd just done to the Soumas and what she could do.
"Don't let your emotions control you, Hikari-san," her sensei said in a soft voice from behind her.
"Demo, sensei! How could I have done such a horrible thing to them!" she choked back a sob.
"Remember, when something bad happens, sometimes you have to do something even worse to make it better," he said. She didn't really understand what he meant, but nodded her head in response anyway. "Get some sleep… you have an exam tomorrow…"
"Hai…"
//*\\
"Alright, pencils down and pass your papers forward," the teacher said as their time limit reached its end. Evoku made sure she'd put her name on the paper before passing it up. As soon as everyone had handed in their test they got up to talk amongst themselves. Evoku simply pulled out novel and began to read it from where she'd stopped.
"Hikari-san," a voice said behind her. She turned around to see Yuki standing there.
"Souma-kun," she blinked at him. He'd never talked to her as much as he had in the past two days than since she'd met him.
"How'd you do on your exam?" he asked.
"Eto… I'm not sure, I hope I did well," she gave him a small smile.
"Don't worry, I'm sure you did better than some people," he glanced over his shoulder.
"Oi, you better not be talking about me over there," Kyou said rather loudly.
"Didn't you know that it's rude to interrupt other people's conversations?" Yuki said simply, not even bothering to turn around.
Evoku giggled quietly. "Gomen ne, Souma-kun, but if you'll excuse me I'll be heading to the library… I want to check out some light reading. I can already tell how this one is going to end," she held up the book she'd been reading.
"Hai," Yuki nodded as she picked up her bag and walked out of the classroom. Most students were either huddled in their groups talking or already out of the room. Several others were scattered around with bored expressions on their faces.
"Let's play Dai Hin Min!" someone shouted out. No one noticed the three members of the Prince Yuki club slip out the door.
//*\\
"Eto… this one seems nice," she pulled out a book from the shelf and flipped it over to read the jacket.
"Just what were you talking about with Yuki-kun?" a demanding voice said from behind her. She nearly jumped out of her skin when the sharp voice pierced through the silence of the library.
Evoku turned around to see who the speaker was only to come face to face with a pigtailed blonde and two darker haired girls, all who she recognized as the 'love-me-Yuki' girls that seemed to love tormenting Honda Tohru.
"Ano…"
"Don't try to deny it!" the red head snapped.
"We know you were flirting with him!"
"Demo… I wasn't tryi---"
"You're too prude for him! Besides what chance do you have? You're not even part of his fanclub!" the blonde pushed her shoulder causing her to step back slightly.
Evoku began to panic. She didn't want these girls to keep bothering her, but if she let them get to her then some of her essence would release and she might hurt them and get in trouble for it. She was too busy trying to decide what to do she never noticed the person step out from behind a shelf.
"Oi! Leave her alone!" a deep, rich voice seemed to appear out of nowhere. The three meddlesome girls turned around to face her savior.
"Stay out of this, Nekozuki!" they shouted in unison.
"Don't call me that you brats!" he snapped. Instead of getting into a fight with these annoying girls, he tried to think of a way to get rid of them. "Why don't you go bother Yuki? I'm sure he'd love your company, I just saw him by himself near the changing rooms."
"By himself?!" they squealed and ran out of the library in search of the Prince.
Evoku jumped when Kyou turned his gaze towards her. She averted her gaze to the ground where she noticed she'd dropped her book when that girl had pushed her. She was just about to pick it up when a hand reached down and grabbed it for her.
"Here…"
"Eh?" she looked up to see Kyou handing her the book back. She blinked at him, not expecting him to do something like that. She'd actually thought he would snap at her for being weak and allowing those girls to push her around.
Trying to control his anger, which was obvious by his shaking, Kyou gripped the book even harder before he wasn't able to control his temper any longer. "Are you going to take the damn book or what?!"
"Sumimasen!" she snapped out of her thoughts and took the books before another awkward silence filled the air. Just as she was about to confess that she'd seen him transform the night before her turned his back to her.
"It won't hurt to stand up for yourself every once in a while," he said before walking out of the library.
"Hai…" she said quietly after he'd left.

Pretty soon she'll figure out what his intentions were about

Eto – um
Ano – excuse me, but, um
Demo- but
Sensei- teacher, master
