Hi ya'll! I'm getting worse and worse at updating, well... I do still have writer's block, and I hate it, I also have a cold, which is worse? Lol.
Disclaimer:
Elphie- Kitty? Kitty? You can't hide from me! I know you took them again! I'm so sorry Takaya- san (a/n- is that right?) when I find her I promise I'll give them back to you!
Takaya- Thank you Elphie! I'll be waiting right here in my office... or rather living room, don't worry how long it takes I'll just sit here trying to beat this level, which will probably take a while.
Elphie- Ok!
Well I don't have much else to say... so here's the story:
'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'
Chapter 9: A Horrible Fate and A Surprise
Kerry POV (a/n- ya I know kind of odd to go right to Kerry after staying focused on the Soumas and Tiff and Hana, but this is how my story plan goes, so... BACK OFF... ok I'm ok, just read the story)
'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'
Yes, he was new. Yes, I loved him. But did I really? Did I really love him? How could someone you love make you feel so purposeless, helpless, and useless? Why me? I keep going back and remembering this year at CML, only a couple weeks ago. I had invited him to come with us, my little group of friends, but he said no, he was going to the cape with his family. But we got to CML and there he was hanging with the other girls, our rivals, or at least MY rival. And then yesterday night he gets pissed at me, for who knows what... I wasn't even paying attention. I want to make him feel bad, like he'd regret it, but I am so depressed I don't know how I could. I can't think straight.
I'm fiddling with scissors trying to cut out these stupid science diagrams telling my self I shouldn't be on this planet, because no one wants me here. So I look down at the scissors and put two and two together and slice my wrist.

Katie POV
'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'
I was coming downstairs for a cup of water, I knew Kerry had stayed up because her science lab was taking forever, but the sight I saw as I reached the bottom of the stairs was not what I bargained for.
Kerry was sitting there staring at her wrist which had blood pouring out of it... I quietly tip toed back up the stairs.
'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'
The next day at school... third person (a/n-... the best I can... I can't write third person)
Nope couldn't do third person it will now be from Tiffany's POV... thanks ya'll!

Hana and I walked to school together, thinking it would be a normal day, we were far from being right. At school walking towards the crowd of people at Aly's locker we found Aly handing out party invitations.
"Hey Aly!" I yelled over the chatter, "What's the party for?"
"FUN!" was the answer I received.
"Yo people! Get out of the way!" We heard a voice shouting from the edge of the crowd.
Hana and I stared at each other. Then hearing from another person standing next to the one we just heard, "Or else."
"Or else what?" Aly said not noticing who they were. (a/n- guess just guess... lol)
"Hi Hana and Uo." I said, "How'd you get to America?"
"Wow Hana we're in America... who woulda guessed?" She said in awe, completely ignoring me, "And no jet lag! Woo hoo!"
"That is kind of odd." Hana replied with a look of eeriness on her face. I never knew she would be this scary in person. "And who might you be?" she said scaring me out of my thoughts.
"Hey Hana! I'm Hana too! Hana Gigi!" Wow... if I were Hana, Hana might have freaked me out. Wait... that was confusing... huh?
"Tiffany Saffia... Tiff for short" Ok... I AM very intelligent.
"Saki Hanajima, and Arisa Uotani, how do you know our names?" Saki (a/n- this is too confusing, she will now be referred to as Saki k?) said with an air of annoyance around her.
"Umm... we've read about you guys, Tohru, Yuki and Kyo in the Manga, Fru—"I started and was rudely interrupted when Hana put her hand over my mouth.
"I have no idea... it was just a guess... I guess..." Hana said trailing off.
"You are lying, and hiding something." Hana said before walking away.
Uo hurried after her but not before glaring at us and snatching an invitation from Aly. "We better be invited to this!" she yelled over her shoulder.
"MY PARTY IS RUINED!" we heard a desperate Aly shout and sink down to the floor.
"Oh! It can't be that bad, it's just a party... there's no alcohol right?" I asked her, "If there is, my parents will never let me go!"
"Just don't tell them then, its not like you're going to need a ride, (a/n- drunk driving was what I was getting at) you live like two blocks from me!" she replied; "Besides... it's going to suck, anyway!"
"Aw come on, it can't be that bad!" Hana said.
"YES IT CAN!"
"What is wrong with Uo and Hana" I found myself saying, even though I was kind of disgruntled myself wondering why they hated us.
'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'
Later that day, during math, right before lunch... still Tiffany POV
(A/n- in the note the italics in brackets are Tiff's thoughts while reading it k?)
'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'-.,.-'
I felt a paper 'ball' hit my head; I bent down to pick it up and open it up. It was from Kyo, I didn't even notice he was in the class. It said:
Hey! You're in like every one of my classes! Am I really? Didn't notice. I was wondering if you guys wanted to meet my cousins this afternoon, they appeared out of no where, and probably have something to do with the randomly showing up in America thing. I dunno. OoO... his cousins... I wonder which ones? Maybe Kagura, Ritsu, or maybe Haru, or Momiji? Oh well, I guess I'll find out this afternoon! YAY! So? What do you say?
.:.Kyo.:.
I quickly wrote back:
Hey! I didn't even notice! No kidding! I'd love to meet you cousins... which ones though? Momiji? Haru? Ritsu? Kagura? Or could it be Akito? Or Ha'ri? Or Aya? Or Kisa? Or Hiro? Which ones? And would it be alright if our friend Kerry came along? And Katie? It would just be me, Hana, Kerry, and Katie. We were gonna head to my house after school but we wouldn't mind stopping by, actually I'd love to stay longer but...
He is going to think I'm crazy. I'll try again:
Hey! I didn't even notice, No kidding! I'd love to meet your cousins! Would it be okay if Hana and I brought 2 of our friends along?
.:.Tiff.:.
That is fine, I don't think he needed to know anymore anyway. I throw it back hitting him squarely in the forehead. Woo Hoo! Go me! Hehe! The period was almost over and lunch was next I couldn't wait! I have no idea why though! I hadn't gotten an answer back from Kyo though either so I wanted to talk to him. Then the bell rang. I quickly packed up my stuff and walked to his desk.
"Hey!" I greeted him.
"Huh? Oh, Hey!" a little disoriented huh?
"About the note—"we both started at the same time. "You first," yet again at the same time. I decided to shut up. So it made him talk.
"About the note. Iwasthinkingjustyou."
"Huh? That was kind of inaudible."
"I... was... thinking... that just you would come?"
"Ok sure but we, Hana, Katie, Kerry and I were going to go to my house so maybe they can just go to Hana's... I dunno I'll ask them, but I'd love to." By now we were the only ones left in the room.
"Hey Tiff?"
"Yes?"
"I was wondering the other day when you came and found me, why didn't I transform?"
"I have no idea..." Just then out of sheer curiosity I decided to hug him. And I did, and he didn't transform... I am so confused. At first he had tensed up but then again, how can you blame him, he's had the curse for his whole life, you'd get used to not being able to hug anyone, but then he kind of relaxed and hugged me back. Then realizing that I had randomly hugged him I pulled away and blushed furiously. I decided to change the topic, "So, are you going to Aly's party tomorrow night?" (A/n- Friday k?)
"I dunno, I might, I might not, I didn't really get an invite."
"What if I invited you?"
"Ok sure! Let's get to lunch!"

Yes? No? Why? Why not? Tell me in your review! I hope your happy jenjen! And be-bop! I have just had a revelation, but I for got what it was, ask me about it and I might remember next chapter!
Review Responses:
Fruitsbasketcase- I LOVE this title!!!! Wanna know where I got it? A company that makes earrings is called rising tide, and I have a pair, and I thought it would be a good title, aren't I odd? It hasn't nearly gotten interesting, wait till you meet Ralph and Luke next chapter, I KNOW even more characters, but all the very minor characters hardly show up at all, they're basically names I can just use to say lie Nora and Bridgid are going to the mall... I have no idea what song you are talking about, but oh well... I got the poem from someone's AOL profile. I still have writers block but as long as I follow my outline it shouldn't be that bad. My fave characters are kyo and haru and also the vampire from cresent moon who's name is not coming to me right now. But I don't read that much manga or watch that much anime so its not that amazing or should I say, "animazing" hehe... Thanx!
VindictiveGoddessOfPinkRabbits (or rather jenjen)- I gave you a cookie, are you happy? Your in the story now are you happy? No road trip, party though happy? Wow I'm doing a lot to make you happy! I also noticed something, to anyone else who is reading this and knows who momiji is... isn't it funny you could translate her pen name to Vindictive Goddess of Pink Momijis!!!! Thanx jenjen!
ValleyMan (or rather Steve)- give me one example IN THE ACTUAL STORY not the author notes, where I use internet abbreviations... and besides in the parts where they are talking ONLINE. I know the characters are confusing that's why I posted the last character thing, and I know I am horrible at character development. It would be slightly easier if you had ever read furuba. Thanx Steve!
Ukari-Chan- oh! Its not gotten to the good part yet! Thanx!
Thanx ya'll for reviewing.. 4 reviews for one chapter, I think that's the most yet! I was just reading a story where they got 10 reviews per chapter sometimes more sometimes less... I feel so unloved... ah well... who cares! JA!... until next time on... RISING TIDE!
