Hello again, it's a sign of the apocolypse. I actually have a new chappie out! Holy crap! I'll tell you more at the bottom. 1000 apologies!
The three of them got themselves ready and went to school, Yuki in the far lead with Kyo and Tohru sauntering their way slowly. "It looks like Sohma-kun was kind of mad that he didn't know. I hope I didn't upset him too much...." She pondered, hoping Kyo would give her signs of encouragement. "Eh, he probably just wants to see Hanajima.....er......"
Tohru gave him an extremely inquisitive look. "What?" "Err....he told me last night she borrowed notes off him and would give them back today....you know how bad she is at school work!" he yelled in an overly happy voice. "Kyo-kun, are you ok?" Tohru asked looking very worried. "I'm fine...just...whatever...lets go to school...." The neko answered gruffly. Was it really THAT scary for him to sound happy? Jeez!
Yuki wasn't particularly angry, just surprised that the dense, cute little girl knew this before him, the very president of the Student Council. Who was this new girl? It had to be a girl.....anyone would be better then Amy....Thinking this, Yuki felt a twinge of guilt. He was the last person that had any right to judge her.
As the school became visible in the distance Yuki let his mind wonder even more. Hana, where would that lead him? No doubt it would lead to her discovering him....how would that end up? Thinking about this, the mouse's stomach clinched up. That was obviously the answer, nowhere good. He sighed. Perhaps the no girls rout would be the best for him after all....

"Good morning president Sohma! How are you today?" an upper classman called as Yuki entered the room where the Council meeting was being held. Not in the mood for chit-chat, the boy just waved his hand at the classman and collapsed into his president's chair, automatically beginning to rearrange papers.
He kept with his little idiosyncrasy until the student announced the arrival of their new member. Without looking up Yuki began to scold. "Why wasn't I present in this decision? I'm sure this person is fine but...." He nearly angrily lifted his head to see the upper classman was gone and the only other person in the room was a beautifully bright red-headed girl looking at him with less then thrilled fire red eyes.
"I'm sorry, he left," she began, then looked at him with even less enthusiasm and continued, "You must be Sohma Yuki, the president of the Student council and supposedly the cutest guy in school," Saying this she paused and looked him up and down as best she could considering he was sitting. "You're not all that and a bag of chips if you ask me....cute....but not ALL that." She gave him a little wink and set some papers down in front of him. "These are a copy of my registration forms. Nice to meet you." Without another word she left very quietly, almost cat-like.
Yuki just sat there and gaped for a while. Was she a member of the zodiac? No, not possible.....
He looked down at the folder in front of him full of paper and opened it. He soon learned that her name was Mia Ito and she was from mid Tokyo. After earning this and making quite sure she had no relation to her he calmed down and analyzed everything. First, how did she have the same bright, unnatural features Kyo had? And second, she was hott!

"Miss Honda, I need to talk to you!" Yuki called down the hall as everyone was making their way to lunch. An innocent, confused face turned in the crowd and smiled at him, "Yes Sohma-kun, what is it?" "Miss Honda, the new girl...she looks exactly like Kyo! She's.....hott..." Yuki continued. "Hey, what the hell is that supposed to mean?!" the now majorly freaked out and a little angry neko shrieked.
Yuki shot his cousin an 'I'll kill you' look and turned his gaze back to Tohru. "What should I do? How could I........impress her?" he asked with a fringe. The girl smiled at him brightly, "Just be yourself Sohma-kun, just like my mom said!" "Ch-yea, if she is anything like me you don't have a chance fag!" Kyo yelled and grabbed Tohru's hand, urging her on to lunch. They were having tuna that day!
Yuki lingered on in the empty halls. Everyone did like him....but what if his idiot cousin was right? She was so much like him. The poor mouse slid down the wall and placed himself in a nice sitting position on the floor to think better. Did this mean Hana was out? Could he just do that? No, he had to tell Hana how he felt.
Just as he thought he would commit hara kiri on the spot from stress a figure came towards him from down the hall. "Yuki-san? What are you doing?" Just the person he needed to see and the last person he wanted to see. He gave a friendly smile, "Hello Hana-san.....do you have a moment?"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Kyo-kun, don't you think that was a little mean?" Tohru asked as she, Kyo, and Uo sat down at a table to eat lunch. The less then thrilled face and the lacking of care or worry in any feature that Kyo displayed made it obvious. "Hey, at least you sent Hana to help him out again," Uo suggested, trying to ease her friend's despair. The neko nearly choked on air. "H...Hana? You sent her?!"
"Yes Kyo-kun, is something wrong?" Oh yea, Tohru doesn't know about the other day...
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Hana smiled forgivingly as if she knew something the mouse did not. "So you like this new girl...I'm glad. I was beginning to worry that you liked me. Tohru asked me to help you feel better and everything got a little out of hand. I'm very sorry for that kiss by the way. Well, I guess I'll go back to lunch now. May this girl bring you better waves Yuki-san..." The girl lifted herself onto her feet from beside the flabbergasted Yuki and turned to walk away.
Stunned by this new account of events the boy lingered still on in the same place he was. Lunch was out of the question today. He didn't know whether to be hurt or happy by the news Hana had bore him. He decided it was part of the curse in its own demented way, shrugged, and lifted himself to his feet finally. Just to be rebellious he decided it was good news. Now all he had to do is worry immensely about this new girl.
The class bell rang.

"Hmm...I wonder if Sohma-kun will ask Ito-san out...." Tohru wondered out loud in a dream state as she and Kyo walked slowly home. A little irritated by the constant talk of his stupid cousin, Kyo twitched a little and grabbed the girl's hand in hopes it would shut her up. "Who cares....do you have work today?" The onigiri perked up and shook her head enthusiastically, "Nope!"
This sprout a wonderful idea. "Well, Shigure's at the main house today....wanna do something?" he asked nervously. Even though they were together it still made him nervous to ask her things like that. She was just so sweet looking. It also made him realize exactly how lucky he was. 'Heh, that damn rat has a lot...but I've still got more....' He thought to himself and smirked with pride and satisfaction.
"Umm...ok Kyo-kun, what would you like to do?" This brought the neko back to reality and back to nervousness. He would have to choose. There was no way the girl would suggest something. He tried to think...
"Let's just go to the park a while, eh?" He was happy when this sent a wide smile across Tohru's face. "That sounds wonderful Kyo-kun!" With a boost of confidence he pulled her closer, putting his arm around her waist and he took her bag and carried it for her.

'I would have to stay after school....' Yuki complained inwardly as he stood at his desk going over Student Council ideas for an upcoming school program. Just as he was about to forget it all and go home a knock came at the door. The only face that made Yuki nervous followed. "Hello, I would just like to say that, being the newest member I should tell you I am ready to help with anything, ok? If you need anything I'll be here," Mia told him and turned to close the door behind her.
Just as the door clicked shut the mouse slammed everything he was holding down onto the table. "Miss Ito, wait!" The door creaked back open slowly and an unimpressed face gazed at him. This shook his confidence a little but he decided to continue, "Would you...er....I li.....what I'm trying to say is....Are you doing anything tomorrow after school?"
School has been the hardest year i have ever had so I have been up to my armpits in homework and papers. So sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll try to put more out more often! I'll also be able to put some Kyoru in the next one....I'll have to decide the outsome of this girl's answer....do i hate Yuki enough to make him lonely forever? I dont hate Yuki....but he would deserve to be turned down. ;
