House Party

            This day couldn't get any worse. Most of the students and teachers thought she was stupid for being American; she had three crazy girls chasing her because they said she insulted their "prince", and she was wearing one of the ugliest uniforms in history. As she slammed her locker shut, she turned around right into another girl. "Opps, sorry." The brown haired girl smiled. "I was watching you all day. You didn't look very happy."

            "The obvious has never been better stated." "Wha…""Sorry, just in a bad mood I guess." The girl gave her a heart warming smile and Dawn could almost swear it took away some of her moodiness. "So Dawn, that's your name isn't it? I Think the teacher called you that" Dawn nodded. "So then, what are you doing in town?" She smiled. "Well, my sister has some business in town and enrolled me for a while we're here." "But what about…" Dawn lowered her head. It still was painful to talk about. "My mother died a two years ago. She had an aneurysm caused by something that went wrong after the removal of a tumor or something."

            They stood there silent for a while. The girl didn't stop smiling but, it just seemed to turn sad. "My mother also died some time ago. A car accident." Silence for a few more moments.

            Suddenly the girl seemed embarrassed. "Oh, I'm sorry. I'm so rude. I didn't give you my name. I'm Tohru Honda. Glad to meet you. I'm sure my friends would also be glad to meet you but they already left for home." Dawn smiled. "Well like your buds I got to get home as well, Buffy will be waiting for me."

            Tohru smiled. "Ok, see you tomorrow?" "Sure." She waved goodbye to Tohru. Well, at least the day wasn't completely an utter waste of life.

            Buffy and willow stoop in the hallway, leaning against the walls still waiting. 'I'm getting worried Buffy, they're taking way too long.' 'I know but I don't think their try to pull anything and if they do…well, lets just say they may know karate but they've never faced a slayer.' 'That guy, Hatori really creeps gives me the wiggins.' 'Yeah, he's colder then ice…'

            At that moment the two came down from upstairs. "Girls, after talking it over, how would you like to come over for dinner tonight. The girls look to each other. 'Trap' They think together. 'But if it isn't, free food.' Willow thought with a grin. Buffy shrugs. "Why not. How about eightish?"

            Shigure smiles and nods. "By the way, do you mind if we bring together my friends and little sister. She's in high school." Know that would probably bait him. Hatori looked as if he was about to say something but Shigure quickly cut him off. "Sure, bring all your friends over." He tells them with a big smile.

            Buffy returns the grin. He caught the bait.

            As Dawn slides the door shut, she suddenly jumps at the voice from the dark showdowns. "So how's your day been bit?" Breathing heavily she manages to blurt out. "Don't do that Spike." All the vampire dose is smirk.

            "Suddenly the door reopens. "Guys suit up." Xander comes down. "So you finally found the big nasty?" Spike asks hopefully. "Nope, we're going to dinner."

______________________________________________

            "Oh Hatori. I didn't know you were here today." Tohru gladly smiled, causing Hatori to smile faintly. Suddenly Shigure came in. "Tohru, I'm sorry to ask you this but we're having company and…""You want me to cook dinner?" She smiled happily. "Well yes but…" "Great, are more Sohma's coming over?" She asked hopefully.

            "Actually no, that's why Hatori is here. You see, a girl accidentally bumped into me on the sidewalk this morning and I think she saw me transform into a dog." Tohru's smile faded slightly. "Oh, do I know her?" "Not that we know of, she's from America. Her name is Buffy Summers. Her and her friends and sister are coming over."

            Her smile quickly brightens again. "I met her sister dawn today at school. Now I really have to make something special." She says as she ruches off into the kitchen to begin the night's dinner.

______________________________________________

            The door slides open to reveal a darker-haired boy. "Good evening. You must be Buffy Summers. I'm Yuki Sohma." Yuki bows slightly. As the slayer and her companions enter, Buffy gets a better look at him. "Cool contacts." She says commenting on his eyes.

            "Huh? My eye color is natural." Sure it is…She though. Entering the dinning room she sees two more people she hadn't met before. An orange haired kid and an average looking girl who seemed to have a constant smile on her face. "I'm sorry Ms. Summers, the rest of the people who live here couldn't join us but they had…other plans."

            "Tohru?!" Dawn exclaimed from behind. "You live here?" Tohru chuckles a bit. "Yeah, I heard from Shigure that you were coming with your sister you mentioned so I decided to cook up something extra special." Looking at the table, they just stared. "…Uh, we're not well versed in Japanese cuisine." Spike sneered in the background.

            "Bloody ell', don't mind them, they had no culture in their life." Spike talks as he leans against the corner and pulls out cigerete." "Mr. Uh…" "Spike." He answers as he lights it. "Mr. Spike, would you like to join us for …" "Spike well, is sort of on a liquid diet at the moment." Buffy explains hastily.

            "Oh yeah, I forgot to introduce us. You already know me and Willow. My sister's Dawn and the guy next to us is Xander." Shigure smiled. "The two other guys here are Kyo and Yuki." They explain while sitting down.

            As they start eating, Willow decides to ask Kyo a question. "So, what dye do you use? Must be strong." Kyo seemed to swell with anger. "It…is…not dyed. It's completely natural!" "No need to go and get cranky on us." She continued eating something she never heard of before.

            After a while, Hatori spoke up. "Could I see you and Willow for a second." He coldly asks Buffy. "Alone." After exchanging some looks, they nod and get up and follow him to the room behind where the others were eating.

            "So, any particular reason you interrupted our dinner in order to talk to us?" Hatori nods. "I have to ask you again, what do you believe happened. Truthfully."

            "Well, to be honest, I think your hiding something. I don't believe I fell unconscious and I'd like to know what your up to in hiding this hole thing." Hatori turns to fact them. "I'm sorry, I just can't completely believe your being truthful either now that we're being frank." "So we're at a stalemate."

            "No. I have one lass move for a checkmate. I'm very sorry." He puts his hands over Buffy's and Willow's eyes. Suddenly a beam of light shoots out and their bodies crumple to the floor.

            Hatori turns to the wall. He hated to do that since they had a connection through her sister to Tohru. He would have to inform Akito later about this mess.

Suddenly he feels a tap on his shoulder and turns around just in time to see the fist land a punch on his face, slamming him through the wall and onto the table where the others were eating.

            Before he lost consciences he saw the short blonde looking furious at him with her hands clenched, the red head behind her also looking none too pleased.

            "Yeah well, sorry doesn't really do anything for me anymore buddy."
