Author's notes: Actually, Kyo-obsessed…your right. Kyo should have noticed and/or transformed. But I kinnda wanna be stricter when it comes to the hugging-transform rule. In my fic the characters will actually have to hug to transform. It's too easy if they just bump into each other then transform. Don't you think? Secrets in my fic will be revealed too easily :D

Sorry for the absence...I was in the beach. XX

-Chapter 2 Start-

"I got you know!" Kyo shouted at her. He was even more confident he was going to get her. She had no way to escape from him no smatter how fast she was. But to his surprise she wasn't slowing down. She just kept on running. When she was only three feet from the open window she dived through it. Kyo made a sudden stop a few feet from the window. As soon as he stopped skidding he got up immediately and ran up to the window. Kyo looked down through the window and saw Koken simply free falling.

"What is that idiot doing! Committing suicide!" Kyo thought as panic spread through his body. He was about to climb through then window himself until Koken did a quick summersault and landed on the ground softly and gracefully. Kyo couldn't speak.

"This was the second floor…" Was all Kyo could manage. Koken looked up, flashed him a smirk of triumph and then stared to run again. Shock immediately became overpowered by anger.

"That fucking bitch!" Kyo growled. Kyo started to climb out the window but someone suddenly pulled him with such great force that he flew a few feet back. Kyo landed on the ground with a thud and skidded and rolled a bit. Kyo got up on to his feet and saw Yuki glaring at him with his violet eyes.

"What do you think you're doing you stupid cat?" Yuki ordered with an icy tone.

"I was chasing Koken. She's…cutting class…" Kyo grumbled softly. That was the lamest excuse of the year and he knew it.

"Nagasawa-san? You were going to jump down from the second floor again! What does that have to do with Nagasawa-san cutting classes?" Yuki demanded, getting even angrier with Kyo.

"See for yourself! That bitch jumped out of the window first!" Kyo snapped as he pointed to the window. Yuki seemed confused and then after a short pause he turned to look out the window. Kyo walked up behind him and saw that Koken was already pretty far away.

"She's very fast…." Kyo thought with a frown. Yuki then turned to Kyo with a very cold glare.

"What did you do? You didn't throw her out the window in attempt to kill her did you?" Yuki asked in another cold tone. Kyo stared at Yuki with disbelief. Yuki didn't honestly think he would actually kill someone did he?

"Well?"

"NO! OF COURSE NOT! WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU? SHE JUMPED OUT OF THE WINDOW HERSELF!" Kyo shouted at the top of his lungs, his rage was on the verge of uncontrollable.

"What's wrong with me…is you. Now come on, we're both going to be late for class." Yuki said softly as he turned around to walk away. Kyo glared at Yuki for a while. But somehow he just didn't have that strong an urge to fight Yuki like he normally did. No…not now. He had more important things to think about.

It was the end of lunchtime and classes had begun again. Twenty minutes into the class Tohru noticed Koken still wasn't there in her seat. She looked to Sumiko who also seemed a bit troubled by Koken's absence.

"Maybe she's just late." Tohru thought with a nervous smile.


Time elapsed once mores

The bell rung signaling the end of the school day and teacher dismissed them. Students cried for joy and scrambled out of their seats. Tohru glanced at Koken's chair and saw that it was still empty.

"She hasn't been there at all…strange." Tohru thought, getting even more worried. She got up from her chair quickly and went up to Sumiko.

"Sumiko-kun, have you seen Nagasawa-san?" Tohru asked her friend with a hint of worry in her voice. Sumiko shook her head slowly.

"Sorry. I haven't seen her since we left for lunch." Sumiko frowned a small frown, "You know, that's really not a good way to start the school year. Cutting classes is reeeeally bad." Sumiko finished then started to fix her bag so she could leave. "What could have happened to Koken?" Tohru nibbled on her bottom lip. So as the next resort Tohru ran up to Yuki. "Sohma-kun!" Tohru called out. Yuki turned around and smile at her. But then he noticed that Tohru was looking very worried and his smile faded slowly. "What is the matter Honda-san?" Yuki asked in a soothing tone of voice.

"It's Nagasawa-san! She's gone!" Tohru said in a panicky voice. Yuki frowned then said,

"Yes I know. She…." Yuki looked around to see if no one was watching. Then he leaned closer to Tohru and continued in a whisper, "Do you remember Kyo's first day of class he jumped down from the second floor?" Tohru nodded her head but looked a bit confused. What did that have to do with anything?

"That's what happened to Nagasawa-san." Tohru stared at Yuki blankly. Yuki sighed.

"She jumped out of the window and landed on her feet. The window was on the second floor." Yuki said softly. Tohru stared at Yuki and he just stared back at her. After a pause Tohru's eyes widened a bit.

"That makes sense! Hana also said Nagasawa-san was emitting those strange waves you and Kyo-kun do! Oh and Sumiko-kun does to! And don't you also think its some sort of sign that both Kyo and Koken jumped down from a window on their first day of class?" Yuki stared at Toru for a while then started to think.

"We should try to find out more about those two…you go investigate Gensai-san. I'll try to find out about Nagasawa-san." Yuki said with his voice near to a whisper. Tohru nodded then went to search for Sumiko.


After awhile of thinking Yuki decided that it would to ask the principal for some of the information he needed to start off his investigation, such as Koken's address and phone number. He knew that she wouldn't have given it to anyone even if he and Tohru begged. She seemed to be that kind of person. He knew that he might be able to get the information from people in the school's staff. After all, he was a student council representative. That had to give him some sort of leverage. But,

"What do you mean you can't tell me?" Yuki blurted out. The principal stared at him for a while. Yuki flushed then bowed,

"I am sorry. Please forgive my rude outburst."

"No it's okay. And don't ask for her phone number either…" The principal said softly. Yuki blinked a bit.

"She told me that she had no phone…and she lives very far away…the address she put on her form was somewhere in the mountains. But she must live somewhere near here. I tried to convince her to write down where she lives currently, but she refused. She seems to be very secretive." Yuki was just more puzzled than before. But he just bowed to the principal.

"That Koken is an odd girl…." Yuki thought with a frown. This was going to be a lot more difficult than he thought.

"Thank you for your time." The principal smiled at Yuki as the boy bowed. Yuki smiled back and then left the room. As soon as Yuki closed the door softly he felt someone tap his shoulder.
Tohru walked beside Sumiko as they both made their way home. The two girls had reached the park and hadn't said a word to each other since they left the school. It was a really sunny say and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. There was a gentle breeze that made the leaves and grass sway softly. But despite the soothing and cheery atmosphere, Tohru was really tense and Sumiko seemed to notice.

"You know, you don't have to walk home with my just because I'm the new exchange class student in…your class." Sumiko said with a small frown.

"No! It's not that!" Tohru exclaimed. Sumiko stared at her for a while with a bewildered expression. After awhile the girl looked away, still frowning. Tohru then felt a pang of guilt.

"Now she thinks I hate her…" Tohru thought. Suddenly something caught Toro's eye. It was Koken walking on the other side of the park. Just when Tohru was about to say hi to Koken she noticed a skateboarder, around eight years old. He was probably coming home from school. But now he was heading strait to Koken from behind. His arms were flapping around and he seemed to be loosing balance.

"Watch out!" The boy shouted at Koken. In the blink of an eye Koken turned around, sidestepped to the right and grabbed the boy's backpack. As Koken carried him by the shirt he looked at her with a dazed expression. When the boy seemed to snap back to reality she gently put him down and he stared into her cold eyes. Even if her stare was icy the boy was still unfazed and grateful.

"Thank you!" The boy squealed as he jumped to hug her. Koken quickly sidestepped again and grabbed the boy's bag so he would not fall onto the ground. Tohru did not hear what Koken said to the boy because she was too far and spoke in a whisper. Then Koken put the boy down again gently and walked away. Tohru stared for a while, trying to comprehend what had just happened. Then she heard someone call her name. She turned around and it was Sumiko. She was already seven meters away.

"Hey! Tohru-kun! What's wrong? Get your butt over here already!" Sumiko shouted with her hands cupped around her mouth.

"Ah! Gomenasai!" Tohru shouted back as she ran to her friend. Sumiko scowled at her and waited for Tohru to get to her. As Tohru hurried to get to Sumiko a thought hit her,

"Wait? How exactly am I going to find out if Sumiko-kun is a zodiac? This is going to be a bit more complicated than I thought it would be…" Tohru gulped.


Kyo lay up on the roof of Shigure's house, trying to figure out what happened earlier that day. He still couldn't understand that incident with Koken. Maybe if he stayed up on the roof long enough he would figure out what happened. She was so tough for a girl. He wondered if she took extreme martial arts lessons.

"Kyo-kun!" He heard Shigure call to him. Kyo groaned as he sat up.

"Kyo-kun! Yuki's on the phone and he wants to speak to you! He says it's important!" Kyo raised a brow. Yuki was on the phone and wanted to talk to him? Where was Yuki anyway? Kyo sighed and climbed back down into the house.

"Here he is Yuki-kun." Shigure spoke into the phone as he saw Kyo approaching. Shigure handed Kyo the phone and walked off, smiling.

"Yuki?"

"I want you to do something for me. I would do it myself but a teacher said there's an emergency student council meeting." Yuki said in a cold voice.

"What? Hell no! I'm not doing anything for you!" Kyo hissed.

"Our secret may be revealed if you don't do what I want you to!" Yuki hissed dangerously. Kyo was silent as Yuki's words sank in.

"What do you mean…?" Kyo asked as his eyes narrowed into slits. This seemed a bit farfetched and Kyo didn't know whether to believe Yuki or not. The only thing that came to mind when Kyo thought of a threat to them and the Zodiac curse was a bunch of deranged hug crazed fan girls. And he didn't think there were any of those around, except maybe in mental wards.

"I don't have time to explain. Some emergency student council meeting starts in a few minutes. Just look for Koken Nagasawa and bring her back and keep her here until I come back!" Yuki said simply before he hung up.

"What! But-DAMN YOU YUKI!" Kyo shouted at the phone.
