Okay sorry it took me so long to get this next chapter posted but I hope it'll will be worth the wait!! Thanks for reading and reviewing, I love you all!!

" God this has been the worst damn day of my entire life!" complained Miya as she walked towards the Sohma house with Tohru, Kyo and Yuki. They had finished their mid-term exams and now had a week to relax.

" Did you not do well on your exams Miya?" asked Yuki as he turned to look behind him having the distinct feeling that they were being followed.

" Ugh, I just studied so much and yet there were so many questions that I had trouble with! I hate tests, they're so stupid!" she replied with a sigh.

" You can say that again," added Kyo.

" Don't worry Miya, I'm sure you did just fine," said Tohru in an attempt to cheer her up.

" Miya Higurashi!" came a voice from behind the group. Miya turned around to be faced with a group of four girls who looked rather angry with her.

" Can...we...speak...with...you...for...a...minute?" said the girl standing in the front of the group. She pointed towards a small opening to a park. " Over...here."

Miya followed the four girls leaving Kyo, Yuki and Tohru behind. They all exchanged glances with each other before Yuki began to follow Miya.

" And where do you think you're going?" snapped Kyo.

" To make sure that Miya's alright," replied Yuki nonchalantly.

" And who decided you would go you damn rat?"

" I didn't see you going after her...or were you waiting for something to happen to her first..." replied Yuki as he continued to walk away from Kyo.

" Hey! Get back here! GET BACK HERE!"

" Stupid cat..." muttered Yuki as he rounded the corner disappearing from Kyo and Tohru's sight.

-----------------------------------------------------

" Well...Miss...Higurashi, we...are...the...Prince...Yuki...Fan...Club," said Motoko.

" Look," said Miya, eager to get out of this situation as fast as possible. " You don't have to speak slowly if I'm standing right in front of you. I'll be able to read your lips if you just talk normally."

" Fine then. We feel that you have been spending far too much time with our dear Prince Yuki," said the tall girl with long brown hair, who was clearly the leader.

" You're the what? Oh you've got to kidding me...look, I'm in no mood for this today so just leave me the hell alone," said Miya as she turned to walk away from the group. She didn't get far however, because she found herself being stopped by someone's hand grabbing her arm.

" I don't think you understand us," said the girl.

Miya turned on the girl feeling the anger within her rising. " No, I don't think you understand me. I've had a shitty day and the last thing I need is a bunch of prissy psychos preventing me from getting home! So either get the hell away from me, or I'm going to have to make you..."

Motoko looked up to see Yuki watching secretly from behind a nearby tree. She began thinking to herself that maybe if Miya thought that Yuki was just being nice to her out of pity then she would be crushed and leave him alone. Motoko smiled mischievously to herself. " Your right. We'll leave, I mean why would Yuki want to be with a freak like you. Just look at yourself! You don't even clip your fingernails! It's disgusting. He's probably only hanging around with you because he feels sorry for you. The poor little deaf girl. He probably goes home and laughs about you with his family."

With that, the group turned and left Miya standing there. Miya looked down towards the crisp green grass blowing in the gentle breeze. Maybe they were right, she thought to herself. Maybe the only reason Yuki and the others still talked to her was because they knew her secret. But they were her friends weren't they? They had celebrated her birthday together and Yuki had helped her and Tohru study for the exams, and Kyo had gone to all that trouble to make her such a wonderful birthday present. But maybe the true reason that they were her friends was because she had made such a point of telling them that she had never had friends before. She was such a fool to put her trust in other people. How could she have been so stupid!

Miya collapsed to her knees as her anger began to grow. She felt her body grow warm as she dug her claws into the hard, cold ground. She gritted her teeth and closed her eyes as her body began to shake in anger and frustration.

" Miya...?" asked Yuki as he walked over towards the young girl. Miya didn't reply, instead she just continued to sink her claws deeper and deeper into the dirt. " Miya, are you alri-"

But Yuki didn't have time to finish his sentence as Miya glanced back over her shoulder at him. Yuki gasped in fear. Miya's once beautiful, bright yellow eyes now glowed a dark, blood red. She turned to face him as she bared her fangs and flexed her claws in front her face. She slowly rose to her feet, never taking her eyes off of Yuki.

" M-Miya...? Are you o-okay?" asked Yuki as he took a couple step back wards to create a distance between them.

Miya leapt towards Yuki and grabbed him by the throat, digging her claws into his neck. She held him close so that they were face to face as she stared into his dark purple eyes. Yuki stared fearfully back into hers, and it seemed to him as if her eyes were smiling with delight in the fact that she was hurting him.

So now that you're getting older you're going to need one of your own...in case your true demon nature ever arises.

Yeah I wouldn't be smiling. Just wait till someone tells you to sit...

Yuki's eyes widened. If this was Miya's true demon form then maybe he knew how to change her back. He painfully drew a deep breath and with every ounce of his strength he cried out. " MIYA SIT!"

Nothing happened. Miya smiled evilly at him as she tightened her grip, forcing her nails even deeper into his skin, his blood now beginning to run down her arm creating a small red stain on the sleeve of her white uniform. Yuki closed his eyes. There was nothing he could do.

" Sit Miya..." whispered Yuki as he felt his his body beginning to weaken. " Sit...sit....sit...please....sit Miya..."

" Miya sit!" cried a voice from behind them.

Miya slammed face first into the ground. Yuki fell to his knees as he gasped for breath.

" Geez you damn rat, can't you remember anything? All you had to do was tell her sit," said Kyo as he shoved his hands into his pockets and turned away from them.

" W-what happened...?" whispered Miya as she lifted herself up from the ground. She looked up to see Tohru kneeling next to a bleeding Yuki. " Yuki ...what happened to..."

Miya trailed off as she caught something red on her arm out of the corner of her eye. Her eyes widened as she noticed the rather large red blood stain on her sleeve created from the fresh blood trailing down her arm from the tips of her claws.

" D-did I? But how could....I don't remember anything..." said Miya as she began to walk over towards Yuki and Tohru.

" Yeah well your eyes were this freaky red colour and you looked pretty happy about hurting Yuki. I mean I don't blame you, he is a jerk..." muttered Kyo.

" I-I tried to k-kill you? whispered Miya. " My eyes were red? Oh my god...I'm sorry! Yuki I'm so sorry!" cried Miya as a tear rolled down her cheek. She turned quickly and ran off towards her house leaving the three of them behind her.

" Why didn't you tell her to sit?" asked Tohru as she handed Yuki a small handkerchief to hold against his neck to help stop the bleeding.

" It didn't work..." whispered Yuki, pressing the white cloth gently against his neck.

" What? What do you mean?' asked Tohru.

" I told her to sit, but it didn't work."

" You can't do anything right can you, damn rat," said Kyo.

" We should get you home," said Tohru as she helped Yuki to his feet.

-------------------------------------------

" Welcome ho-Yuki! What happened to you?" said Shigure as the trio entered the house.

" He was attacked," said Tohru.

" Yeah by that damn dog," added Kyo.

" It's not her fault," protested Yuki, much to Kyo's amazement.

" I'll go call Hari," muttered Shigure as he stepped out of the room.

" How could you say it's not her fault?" cried Kyo. " She freaked out and tried to kill you!"

" No Kyo, Yuki's right. Miya has no control over what she is. She never had a choice, she was just born that way..." whispered Tohru as she helped Yuki sit down at the table.

" Well maybe she shouldn't be around normal people then," said Kyo.

" And why is that?" snapped Yuki. " In case you've forgotten you stupid cat, we're not normal people either."

" Yeah well when was the last time a Sohma tried to kill someone?"

" Maybe...maybe not physically kill someone...but mentally...and emotionally..." said Yuki. " She's just as human as you or I, she's our friend, we shouldn't treat her like she's some kind of monster

Monster. The word sent a chill through Kyo's body. He left Yuki and Tohru and walked towards the front door. He swung it open to find Hatori standing there with his hand raised, ready to knock.

" Living room," snapped Kyo as he pushed his way past Hatori and headed down the walkway towards the street.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Miya sat on the edge of the well contemplating whether she should leave her own time and go to be with her father. At least there, people would understand it when she transformed. Her father would be there to protect her, and she would be just like everyone else. She reached up and brushed a tear from her eye.

" So now you here...and you're depressed. You're a busy girl," said a voice from the top of the stairs.

" Kyo? What the hell are you doing here?How did you find me here?" asked Miya in shock.

" Your mother told me you'd be down here," replied Kyo.

Had he come here to tell her to stay away from them? " You can stop worrying, I won't come near you, or Yuki, or Tohru ever again."

" Oh cut the crap," snapped Kyo as he walked down the stairs towards the young demon. " Why the hell would you stay away from us?"

" Because I tried to kill Yuki! You were there! I turned into this blood thirsty monster and tried to kill him!"

" So what if you're different! Does that make you a monster? You're just as human as...as...dammit just come on," cried Kyo as he grabbed Miya's hand and began to drag her back up the stairs.

" Where are we going!" protested Miya as she tried to free her hand from Kyo's grasp.

" Stop your whining and come on. I'm going to show you the real Sohma family."
