CHAPTER 2
FURY'S POV:
"Report," a gruff voice said at the end of the line.
"Why the hell would I have anything to report after a day?" I asked the bastard on the other end of the phone line.
"Ahh, watch yourself Fury, we wouldn't want any unfortunate accidents to happen. Remember I pull all the strings."
"I understand," I said through gritted teeth. Without another word I hung up the phone and walked out of the phone booth, heading towards my home in the slums.
Yesterday I had met two more Sohmas. Haru Sohma, who tended to have wild mood swings, and Momiji Sohma, who annoyed me to death with his sweet attitude. Why is it whenever a Soham is around me I feel like there is something wrong with them, it's as if they're hiding something.
I trudged warily back to my house, on top of having to keep track of the Sohmas I also had to work I order to afford tuition and an apartment, along with food and clothing. I sighed and just put my thoughts towards getting home before I collapsed from exhaustion.
KYO'S POV
Kyo ran out of the house and into the night, angry and frustrated by none other than that damnable rat Yuki. Not even the roof attracted him tonight, although that was his usual sulking place. No he needed to run and let all his anger out.
Yuki had once again beaten him to a pulp when Kyo's anger had gotten out of hand and he accidentally wrecked Tohru's dinner. After that Kyo had ran away from anger, frustration, and from Tohru profusely trying to make sure everything was okay.
Sighing he rounded around a corner, and a group of guys at the end of the street. Probably just a bunch of thugs. He kept running toward the street but was on the opposite side as to avoid a confrontation. Then suddenly spotted a girl trudging past the group of guys and he groaned. Is the girl an idiot? She's just asking for trouble!
As the group of guys approached the girl he slowed down and watched hoping that they wouldn't bother her.
"Hey babe!" One of the guys called to her. "Come hang out with us! We'll show you a good time!"
"Go do yourselves!" the girl called back to them. Immediately Kyo recognized who the girl was, it was none other than the new student Fury. Yesterday he had been on edge the whole time they had been he and Yuki had shown her around the school and on top of that she seemed like a yakuza leader with her attitude. What the hell is she doing in the slums?
"What did you say? Come on boys lets teach her a lesson." The group of guys began to circle her and Kyo ran towards the group ready to spring into action. He soon discovered he didn't need to.
In fascination he watched as she struck the first guy solidly in the head with her fist, sending him slamming into the wall of a building. As the two other guys approached from the back and from the front she launched herself into the air kicking the guy from behind squarely in the jaw. Then she landed in front of the last standing attacker and punched him solidly in the stomach, he hunched over and passed out.
"Piece of friggin cake." He heard her mutter and immediately he could feel a grudging admiration for how well she had executed all the moves, as if she was a professional. She looked up from the guys lying on the floor and spotted him. "What the hell are you doing here?"
"What the hell am I doing here?" Kyo asked incredulously. "It's more like what the hell are you doing here? The slum isn't the place for a girl at night, y' know."
"Whatever. It's none of your damned business why I'm here, but I'll tell you just for kicks. I live here. Happy now?" Her eyebrows raised in question and Kyo flustered.
"You live here?"
"Isn't that what I just said? What are you an idiot?"
"What?" Kyo asked angrily. "I'm no idiot! You're the one that's the idiot! Whatever! I don't give a damn about what you do! I'm going home." With that Kyo turned and ran back home.
Why the hell does she live in the slums? And where the hell did she learn to fight like that? He shrugged and tried to push his thoughts away from the mysterious girl, which didn't work. What is it that that girl is hiding?
