Chapter One: Enter One Pop Star Idol
Tohru smiled as she walked down the hallways between her two closest friends. Uotani Arisa and Hanajima Saki They both had protected her since her Okaa-san passed away over a year now. She suddenly stopped next and blinked as she saw a commotion a ways down the hall.
Saki stopped, "It is the Yuki Sohma fan club. Be careful Tohru-kun" She said and took a step in front of Tohru. But it wasn't needed as they passed by them with horrified faces as they usually had when they were being chased away by Saki.
Arisa laughed, "Looks like the Yuki fan club got scared by someone other than Hanajima" She said rather surprised watching them as they disappeared rather rapidly behind the corner.
Saki pointed a ways down the hall. "I see the disturbance this way," She said walking down the hall to follow her telekinetic senses.
Arisa laughed slightly pressing her hand to her right eye, which was covered by her long hair as she sighed and smiled to Tohru. "Come on Tohru. Lets go see what's she's found now"
Tohru blinked as she saw what had caused the "Princess" club to run away so startled. Smiling as she stood in the middle of the hallway, was a girl with her long black hair tied up in to two "meatballs" which set atop her head, letting the rest of it spill to her shoulders.
Her sky blue eyes had a glint of amusement in them as her light lips were pulled into a carefree smile at the scene that had just taken place, while a number of other students stared gawking behind her, with surprised faces. "Do they always act that towards American singers?" She said further forcing further shock to appear on the faces of the students around her.
"I sense the odd wave coming from her," Saki said pointing a long slender finger in the singer's direction. "It is similar to one I have felt before but I can make no connection" She said lowering her finger once Arisa and Tohru arrived by her side.
Lisa smiled as she glanced around, "I didn't think they'd get that scared so easily" She said a hint of a mischievous tone to her voice.
"Lisa Katz?"
Lisa turned to see Tohru staring at her. "Your…Lisa Katz!" She said happily as she bowed slightly and shook Lisa's hand when she offered it.
"Eh? You mean that American singer!" Said a shrill excited girl's voice before Lisa found herself under siege by hostile Japanese song lovers wanting her autograph to help better their fan-girl hysteria.
Lisa smiled, "Well nice to know that you've heard of me" She said happily as she signed another psyched girl's autograph. "There you go," She said as she finished and the mob began to slowly disappear leaving Arisa, Saki and Tohru.
"Honda-san. What was happening down here?"
Lisa looked up to see a young boy with light lavender colored hair staring at her with his light azure colored eyes waiting to know the answer to his question and addition, by the why he was staring at her, who she was. She blinked and gave off a warm smile, extending her hand to him. "Lisa Katz" She said and he stared at her hand a moment but smiled and shook it.
"Yuki Sohma" He said nodding slightly as he quickly dropped his hand before he made anymore contact with her than he already had, even if it had been out of friendliness.
Lisa smirked as she nodded briefly to his introduction. 'Someone's uneasy' She thought to herself as he glanced to Tohru trying to avoid her pinning gaze as smiled at Tohru. "Ohayo Honda-san" He said softly and she beamed up at him. "Ohayo Yuki-kun" She said cheerily that same smile plastered on her face as she stared at him.
Arisa smirked slightly at Yuki as he continued to stare silently at Tohru. After several long moments his cheeks tinted a light pink before he rubbed a spot behind his head in embarrassment. Gomen. Honda-san"
"Huh?" Tohru said confused as he continued to apologize for something she didn't know he had done.
Saki glanced to Tohru momentarily. "Tohru-kun is particularly dense today isn't she?" She said shifted her unfaltering eyes to Arisa, who shrugged it off, unconcerned. "She is always like that Hanajima" She said waving her hand away as Saki glanced back to Tohru, not convinced. "We had better get into class. Ne, Tohru-kun?" She said placing a light but no less revered smile on her lips.
Tohru smiled as she quickly whipped her head around to face Saki and nodded. "Uh! (Hai)"
As the students gathered in the hall quickly started to dissipate to their first period rooms, Yuki stole a hesitant glance around the hall. "I haven't seen the baka neko…"He said to himself smirking knowing Kyou would be in front of him in moments wanting to fight him for his comment but when he never came Yuki, slightly surprised. But his surprise lasted only moments when he thoughts of a reason but this reason only further caused him to become alarmed and he quickly disappeared down the hallway to resolve his problem.
"Students" Tohru glanced up at the teacher and Lisa, who had taken a place near him leaning against the chalkboard in an almost bored manner. "We had a new transfer student from America. Lisa Katz" He said turning his attention next to him as he smiled to Lisa, who pushed her self off the board and moved to the front of the class, bowing slightly to all of the students, who would now be in her same class.
"Actually my latest tour was in America but I'm really from Tokyo" She said smiling as several of the girls let out excited shrieks of girlish delight.
"Keh! Who gives a damn about that stupid girl? She isn't anymore special than any of the others…" He said trailing off as he stole a glance at Tohru, who blinked and waved at him happily. He quickly snapped his head in front of him, a slightly red tint to his cheeks; he jumped slightly when he saw Lisa leaning one arm on his desk as she stared at him. "So. I take it you've never heard of me," She said leaning her face in closer to his her sky blue eyes lowered slightly in knowing as she stared into his slightly hesitant red eyes.
"Lisa. Please, take your seat" The teacher asked of her and she pouted at haven been robbed of her early morning fun. "Where should I sit then?" She said swiftly turning around and chuckled as several excited girls waved their hands, more than willing to have their best friends move to accommodate for the chance of her sitting near them.
The teacher paused as he scanned the room for any available seats. "Next to Miss Miharu, who is staring out the window" He said laughing slightly when she failed to respond to his call. "That reminds me. Miharu is back after having been gone several days last week. Yuki, could you tell Miharu to raise her hand so Lisa knows where to sit?" He asked and waited as turned around and shook Miharu's shoulder as she snapped from her daze. "Hai?" She said glancing around as several of her fellow classmates silently laughed at her clueless-ness.
"Next to her will be your seat," The teacher repeated and Lisa turned on the heel of one of her black boots and smiled to Kyo, who glared back at her. 'Baka girl…'
"Miharu-san" Yuki said softly and Miharu turned her attention to him a soft smile on her face wondering what he wanted to know. "Dajouba ka?" He asked and she blinked slightly taken back by his question but she nodded in hopes of setting him at ease once more.
Miharu quickly glanced around for any reason not to keep looking at Yuki; he made her nervous for some reason. She didn't know why but he just had that way with her. She found relief in Lisa as she waltzed by and Miharu thrust out a hand of friendship to her, stopping her by her desk. "Hi. Nice you meet you"
Lisa blinked, rather stunned, at what, she failed to reveal in the shrouded mist that lingeringly dwelled in her sky blue eyes. She gripped Miharu's hand and shook it lightly. "Arigatou" She said remembering some of the Japanese she learned before she went on tour those years before.
"I hope you enjoy your time here!"
Lisa switched her gaze to Tohru who had spoken as she flashed her always-cheery smile to her. Lisa nodded, as she walked past Arisa whose gaze never left her as she sat down and waited. "Hanajima. Do you notice anything odd about her?" She said shifted her gaze to Saki, who was staring blankly at something ahead of her as she thought. "Hai. She may be a threat to Tohru-kun," She said and Tohru blinked. "Nani?" She said as she turned to face Saki.
Arisa put a hand on Tohru's head to calm her. "Don't worry about it Tohru" She said and Tohru nodded, smiling as she faced the front of the room eager to begin the lesson.
