"Sohma Ame-san!" The teacher yelled across the room. "Help Motosuwa Rebi-
san to the infirmary and come straight back." Ame bowed to him before going
over to the sick girl.
"Are you OK to walk? Do you need some help Motosuwa-kun?" The girl shook her head, but held onto Ame's shoulder. As they turned the corner and saw the infirmary door, Rebi bolted towards it and rushed in quickly.
As soon as the nurse saw to Rebi, Ame made her way back too class. As she walked along, arms wrapped around her from behind. Without thinking, her self-defence lessons rose to the surface. Before she knew it, she was very close to breaking Kyou's arm. "Oh, sorry!" she let go of his arm quickly. "It was a reflex action." She looked up, worried, as Kyou frowned; annoyed that he was taken by surprise.
"Where'd you learn to do that?" Ame smiled and explained about her previous martial arts experience. *She's quick.* He was jolted out of his thoughts by Ame kissing him.
"That got you attention!" She laughed. "Sorry, I have to get back to class." She kissed him quickly and rushed off. Kyou leaned against the wall of his classroom, watching her go. The door next to him opened up and a head poked out.
"Sohma-san, you may come back inside now, but make sure you don't make such a fuss next time." Kyou bowed and followed his teacher inside. He didn't notice the whispers start as he walked in. After the bell went and the teacher left, everyone rushed around Kyou.
"Whoa, when'd you get such a cutie?" "Is she good (If you know what I mean.)?" "Aww, now I don't have a chance" "She's in the year below us, does she call you sempai?" "How did you to hit it off?" Kyou looked around, bewildered at all the noise and attention.
"What are you on about?!" He yelled over the noise. A girl who sits next to the window piped up.
"We saw you and that junior outside. Kissing." Anyone who hadn't known now did and rushed over. Except, of course, Yuki, Tohru, Uo-chan and Hana-chan. While Kyou was losing it in the background, Uo-chan turned to Tohru.
"Is that true about Carrots? Does he have a girlfriend?" Tohru shrugged while Yuki sighed.
"He does. I saw them this morning." Tohru looked worriedly at Yuki.
"I wonder why he didn't tell us." Suddenly she gasped. "What's Kagura-san going to say?" Uo-chan laughed.
"That crazy person who bashed up Carrots on Valentines Day? You could make a fortune by selling tickets to that!" The next teacher walked in, and sent Kyou out for being too noisy.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------
"Finally, lunch!" Ame walked out of her classroom, to see Kyou walking her way. "Hey! Can you wait there for a sec, I have to see the teacher." He nodded and leaned against a wall.
When Ame came back out, She heard two girls giggling and talking to each other. "Ooh, look at him! He's so handsome!"
"You should go ask him out! I just LOVE his orange hair."They giggled again as Ame frowned behind them. She walked past them, brushing past to get their attention. She walked up to Kyou and kissed him, taking him by surprise.
"Let's go." She murmured, and they walked off to lunch. As they walked off, Ame looked back at the girls. They were scowling at her, and she smiled sweetly back. She put her arm around Kyou's waist and rested her head on his shoulder as they walked out into the sunshine.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------
Ame and Kyou walked over to Tohru and the others, who were getting lunch ready. Tohru had made a large bento for them all to share. During lunch, Ame yawned loudly. "You look tired Ame, did you sleep well last night?" Ame shook her head. Tohru looked at her, concerned about her friend's health.
"Nup. I'll just sit under the tree and have a rest." She leaned up against the tree and promptly fell asleep.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------
"Ame! Ame, wake up!" Uo-chan shook Ame slightly while Tohru called to her. Ame jerked awake, and stared at all the worried faces, not understanding.
"Huh? What's the problem?" Everyone sighed in relief. Irritation spread over Ame's face. "Will someone tell me why you were so worried about me? Is there an emergency?" she asked.
"You were having a nightmare-would you call it that, it's daytime-and you were calling out something," Yuki commented from where he was sitting, "buradu, or something like that. What did you mean?"
"It wasn't buradu, it was English. You were saying 'blood' in English." Yuki looked at Momiji, surprised. Momiji just shrugged. "Ame's been teaching me some English, using some of her letters. 'Blood' was in one of them." Ame looked at her hands, took a deep breath, and looked at her friends.
"We were having a picnic -like today- and all of a sudden, a red stain spread across the blanket we were sitting on. I was about to ask someone about it, when I looked at Tohru. She had her hands palm-up, and blood was coming out of them, dripping through the gaps in her fingers. I looked at the rest of you, and everyone was doing the same. I looked back at Tohru, and she started crying, but her tears were red, like watered down blood.
"I went to shut the lid of the bento, and saw that my hands were bleeding too. I grabbed some of the blanket, trying to stop the blood, but I couldn't. All this happened in silence, like a silent movie, and I knew I couldn't cry. You all were crying those pink tears, holding your hands up to me, as if I could fix them, and I couldn't, so I started crying. I cried, shaking my head, trying to explain that I couldn't help you." She trailed off, looking down at her hands again Momiji moved over, resting his head on her shoulder for comfort.
"Is that why you're having trouble sleeping? Because of nightmares?" Hana asked solemnly. Ame nodded slowly as the bell rang for class. Tohru quickly wiped her eyes and stood up
"We'd better go off to class. Come on you four, we have History now." Ame stood and stretched, trying to hide her shaking hands.
"Yeah, we have maths, Ick." Hana glided over closer to Ame.
"I have a feeling you will have a test today. I thought you might like to know, with all that's happened so far." Ame groaned loudly and slowed down, taking as long as possible to get to class. Momiji and Haru ended up grabbing her arms and dragging her to class. She waved as the older students went their way.
When they got into class, their Maths teacher was handing out papers. "Pop quiz everyone!" Ame groaned again and dragged herself over to her desk. She clenched her still shaking hands, and started her test. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------
=^.^=: Hey all! Noone reviwed my last chapter :( Does that mean it was bad?? Can you guys tell me if these chapters are too short, or too long? I'm never really sure. Here are some replies to reviewers, and just a random comment to an author I liked.
Neko-chan: Thanks for your review; it is the longest one I've gotten! Ozaki Amaya: I can't believe I'm on your favourite stories list!!! (I'm not that good, am I?) Maeven: Thankyou, I love your stories. I started reading Jyuuni, and really enjoyed it, but I didn't catch it up (I'm lazy ^.^). Blue Anime Kitty: What do you mean my other one was better? Did you read my Ranma one? I have more written in a book, I just couldn't be bothered typing it out.
I heard about "Love Remains" from another fic and I LOVED it! It was really great and original, everyone should read it, it's very cool! It's by girl_starfish, btw
