Chapter 2: Another hectic hour with the Sohma's

"I'll beat you someday ya damn rat!" Kyo yelled. "That someday won't be anytime soon" Yuki remarked. "YOU DAMN RAT" he yelled once more. "I'm back!" Shigure sang. "Welcome back Shigure!" a girl greeted him. "Who's this?" "I'm Yoshi. Pleased to meet you" she bowed. "I'm Tohru! Pleased to meet you too" she smiled. "She just moved into the BIG Sohma residence" Shigure grinned.

Meanwhile, Kyo and Yuki were still fighting. "Um… excuse me…" Yoshi poked Kyo. "What the hell do you want?!" he yelled. "Um… why are you mad?" she asked. "Yoshi, Kyo's ALWAYS mad t someone or something" Shigure explained. "NO I'M NOT YA DAMN DOG!" Kyo snarled. "Are you Kyo?" Yoshi asked once more. "How the hell did you know!" he turned to face Yoshi. "Shigure just told me. Didn't he?" Yoshi said.

"So you're in our grade Yoshi?" Tohru exclaimed. "Yep! But I'm supposed to be in my first year, but I skipped a grade" Yoshi explained. "Oh yeah! Do you know Kazuma?" "Yes, why do you ask?" Tohru replied. "Well, grandma told me to visit Uncle Kazuma while I'm down here" Yoshi smiled. "UNCLE?!" Kyo dropped his chopsticks. "Do you know him too?' Yoshi asked, confused. "He practically raised me dammit!" Kyo yelled "No wonder you look a little familiar…" Yoshi tilted her head a little. "I didn't know Kazuma had any relatives…" Yuki began. "I still have to apologize from beating up one of his student – and for almost beating the crap out of him" she sobbed a little. "YOU-ALMOST-BEAT-KAZUMA" Kyo stared at Yoshi wide eyed. "It was kinda an accident though. He snuck up on me and I assumed he was a pervert so…" she giggled a little. "And that how it happened"

Kyo just stared at her and then started rolling on the ground laughing. "What's so funny?" Yuki stared at Kyo like he was a mental hospital patient. "Your saying – ha ha- you beat – ha ha – Kazuma –ha ha – yeah right!" Kyo laughed. Wham! "YOU CALLIN ME A LIAR?" Yoshi growled. "Put the table down Yoshi" Shigure ordered. "Sorry! I'll clean it up" Yoshi got a broom and began cleaning up. "What wild mood swings" Shigure commented.

"Would you like some help?" Tohru asked. "No, no, I'm fine, really!" Yoshi assured her. "She's a lot like Tohru isn't she?" Shigure commented. "Yeah right" Kyo practically yelled. "But her eyes – they're purple…" Yuki observed. "Who cares dammit!" Kyo screamed. He began to walk away when Tohru accidentally tripped over the broom and fell on Kyo. POOF!

"Great. You've just revealed the curse to ANOTHER person. Stupid cat" Yuki signed. "Hmm?" Yoshi looked up from her cleaning. "I already know." There was an eerie silence. "WHAT THE HELL?!" Kyo yelled. "How do you already – " Tohru began. "Well… my mom was the tiger" she signed. "I can never really remember her; she died when I was very little. But I still love her" "How sweet" Shigure began to sob (of course knowing Shigure he was faking it) "So you're the cat hmm?" Yoshi bent down to Kyo level. "I guess that means I'm not the only outcast here" she smiled and patted him on the head. "Huh?" Kyo managed to stutter.

"SHIGURE" a voice growled. "Tori! How nice to see you!" Shigure opened the door. "What did you do to Yoshi?" Hatori asked. "She's right here! "Shigure pointed to Yoshi, who was still cleaning up. "You're going home now!" Hatori yelled. "But I still have to clean up the mess I made" Yoshi retorted. "NOW!" Hatori dragged Yoshi out of the house. "I just borrowed her for a few hours" Shigure apologized. "Bye Shigure, bye Tohru, bye Yuki, bye Kyo!" Yoshi attempted to wave goodbye.

"That was odd" Yuki commented. "What did you think of Yoshi, Kyo" Tohru asked (he was back in human form) "She's just like the damn rat!" he yelled turning a bright red. "No she isn't" Shigure stared at Kyo. "You're just embarrassed to admit – " "SHUT UP YA DAMN DOG!" Kyo yelled. "You feel a connection with her" Shigure finished as Kyo slammed the door shut.

"You could have told me you were going to Shigure's" Hatori lectured Yoshi. "Shigure said it'd be okay!" Yoshi frowned a little. "Shigure! I'm gonna kill that dog if it's the last thing I do" Hatori muttered. "I'm going to my room" Yoshi signed. "Where were you?" Momiji asked. "Shigure took me to visit Tohru and the others" she replied. "Tohru's really kind" Yoshi smiled. "She'd make a good friend." "Go to bed you too. You've got to go to school tomorrow" Hatori ordered. "Goodnight Momiji. And tell Haru I said goodnight please" Yoshi requested. "I will. Good night Yoshi!" Momiji smiled and bounced back down the hallway. Yoshi smiled back. Her grandpa used to say "Every cloud has silver lining." Maybe she had finally found the silver lining.
