'......' someone's thoughts

"CAPS" Haru's black side

Ummm......... you'll know what it means when it comes up.

A/N: Hey everyone and welcome to Chapter two! Yahoo! Thank you for all the wonderful reviews! If you have any suggestions, for the sequel...let me know! Bye Bye!

Chapter 2- The Physical fitness test.

Everyone looked at the fear written Minami. They had no clue that she was an orphan like Tohru. She seemed so quiet, it was like a crowd at a stupid talent show. Really people that are in there do not have a life...seriously. Sorry if I've offended anyone...my school sucks.

"When did your parents die?" Tohru asked.

"About five years ago, in a house fire. I was visiting my grandparents for the summer in Hokkaido. My grandmother received a call from a fellow neighbor saying that there was a terrible fire at my house and my father escaped half alive with burns on ninety percent of his body. My mother wasn't so fortunate. She had a problem with her lungs so she was always on a respirator." She sighed as she told the rest of the devastating story.

"The minute she tried to get downstairs to safety, the smoke was to over whelming and she died on the spot. That day I visited my father in the hospital and he was on life support. He couldn't feel anything on his face, his arms or his legs. I couldn't bear to see my dad in pain. He died a day later on June 12. I've been living with my cousin Rei ever since."

Yuki and the others were shocked. Kyou turned away so he wouldn't have to hear what she had to say. Tohru tried to perky up Minami by inviting her over the Sohma's. You know when you thought you've lost everything, your friends are there to back you up.

"Can you come over today? I'm sure it'll be fun." Tohru smiled which made Minami feel as if she had the best friends in the world. Kyou snarled.

"Why she coming over our house?" he asked.

"Kyon-Kyon don't make her feel like she's an outsider." said Uo-chan. Yuki smiled.

"Takashimi-san you are welcome to visit. Don't listen to the baka." Kyou got angered.

"Why don't I have any say in this?!" he asked

"Because you're an idiot." Yuki replied

"I am not an idiot!"

There was another argument between the cat and the rat. Minami sweat dropped.

"Um...Tohru-kun do they always argue like this?" Uo-chan and the others nodded.

"Tohru can you come to my cousin's dojo after school today? I need to ask her if I can come over." Tohru smiled warmly.

"Sure I will Minami-chan."

/ LATER THAT DAY... /

Tohru, Minami, Kyou, Yuki, Uotani, and Hanajima headed for another day of torture from their gym teacher, Sensei Okhawa. During class he made them do a physical fitness test and it included a rope.

"Now settle down! I'm splitting you all into sections. Section A will be rope climbing, Section B will be doing sit-ups, Section C will be on the pull-up bar, and Section D will be doing the mile run. Are there any questions?" Everyone kept silent.

"No questions at all? I guess that's it then now I'll be reading off the names for Section A. Climbing the rope today will be, Sohma Kyou, Takashimi Minami, Oishikawa Lilan, Honda Tohru, Nakashini Kuzuma, and Yamata Ginta."

Minami shivered when her name was called. She was afraid of heights. The rope came about 12 feet to the ceiling. Minami's feet had felt as if she was carrying weights. The girls were up first so it was Minami, Tohru and Lilan. Their teacher grabbed the end of the rope and motioned the girls to come forward.

"So, which one of you will climb first? Oishikawa-san? Do you want to show these girls how to do it?"

Lilan Oishikawa was a very fast climber. She reached the top no later then 50 seconds. This just made Minami even more nervous.

"Tohru-kun do we have to climb? I'm scared of heights." Tohru smiled.

"Well, so am I, but I'll try anyway." She said. Now it was Minami's turn after Lilan.

'I can do it. I don't want to embarrass myself in front of my new friends.' she thought

'Don't look down...Don't look down.' She thought. As she tried to climb to the top she felt her hands slipping.

"Oh...no...Don't look down." She said. It was no use; she slid three feet down the rope and about to fall.

'I'm...slipping' she thought. She suddenly looked down to see everyone staring at her.

'Oooo...so far from the ground...getting...dizzy.' Minami's head felt dizzy as she fell from 8 feet in the air and on top of Kyou. Tohru ran up to Kyou and Minami.

"Kyou-kun, Minami-chan are you all right?" Kyou was knocked out from the impact and Minami was still dizzy.

"Uh...Tohru-kun...what...happened?" she asked. Sensei Okhawa ran over to the girl.

"Ms. Takashimi are you okay? If you don't feel any better go to the nurse." he replied. Minami nodded.

"What about Kyou-kun?" asked Tohru. Minami suddenly noticed that she was sitting on Kyou and quickly got up.

"Oh...no..." she said. Minami grabbed Kyou's shirt and shook him.

"Kyou-kun are you still awake? I'm... so...sorry." Minami had a breakdown.

"I killed Kyou-kun!" 0-0 Minami turned chibi and ran around the room.

"It's my entire fault for being a baka!"

"Umm...Minami-san...Kyou isn't dead. He's just knocked out. He'll be awake in a little while." Said Yuki. Minami stopped running.

"Thank the gods! Kyou's alive!" she said. All of this ruckus just made Minami's day and later all that fun would be shattered the minute they meet her cousin, Rei.
