Chapter one- A New Friend
"Good morning," Tohru Honda said to a sleepy Yuki. He was so out of it that he sat on the table.
"Yuki, what time did you go to bed last night?" Shigure asked while reading his newspaper. He looked up to see if Yuki was awake because he didn't answer. He was fast asleep.
"Shigure, he's always like this in the morning," Tohru said.
"Wake up you damb rat!" Kyo screamed in his ear. Now Yuki was wide awake.
"Why did you wake me up you stupid cat. Is it a fight you want?"
"Bring it on. Let's take this outside."
"That would be a wise decision, being that you broke two doors last night fighting," Shigure said.
"Kyo, Yuki, Shigure, Breakfast is ready," Tohru said.
"Let's settle this later. I'm too hungry to eat," Yuki said to the angry cat while his stomach growled.
"You would rather eat than fight?"
"No, I know I'll kick your ass, so why do it now. Miss Honda's food will get cold and it will go to waste because you will be in too much pain or unconsious to eat."
"I'll hurt you after school. Right after school. I mean as soon as the bell rings to end school," Kyo said.
"Alright. You better bring a stretcher and the school nurse because you are going to need it," Yuki said. Then they all sat down and ate a happy normal breakfast.
When they got to school they met up with Haru, Momiji, Hana, and Uo.
"Did you meet the new girl yet?" Momiji said.
"We have a new student in the school?" Tohru asked.
"Yeah. She's in your grade. I just passed her in the hall. She looked worried, like someone was following her."
"I should meet her and make her feel welcome. Are you coming with?" she asked her two friends Uo and Hana.
"Sure."
"When they found her she was looking for her locker.
"Do you need some help?" Tohru asked the girl.
"Yes," the girl said. She seemed shy.
"My name is Tohru."
"My name is Uo."
"I'm Hana."
"My name is Aiko."
"So are you new to this school?"
"Yes. I just moved here. I used to be homeschooled, but now my parents got new jobs," Aiko said.
"Welcome to Kaibara High. It's pretty good. There's not too many mean people here," Tohru said.
"Except for the Yuki fanclub girls. They aren't mean though, just stupid. They're jealous because we hang out with him. Hana usually scares them away though. As long as you stick close to her, your safe," Uo said.
"You're welcome to hang out with us whenever you want to if you want," Tohru said.
"We could show you around," Hana said.
"That would be cool. Thanks. Who is Yuki?" Aiko asked wondering why there would be a fanclub for him.
"I'll introduce you to him and all of the Sohma's to you after school. Here's your locker. Do you need help with anything else?" Tohru asked.
"No, I think that's it for now."
"Do you walk home?"
"Yes I do."
"I guess I'll see you after school."
"Okay, bye," Aiko said. They walked away and she put her locker combination in. She pulled up the handle to open the locker, but it didn't open. She pulled, and pulled and it wouldn't open. She finally got upset, because the bell was going to ring any minute now and she didn't want to be late on her first day there. Everybody was in there class except a puple-haired someone walking down the hall.(Yuki) He was making sure nobody was in the hall goofing around.
"Excuse me miss. Do you need help with your locker?" He asked politely.
"Yes."
"Let me help you with that. These lockers are pretty stubborn sometimes." He put the combo in and lifted the handle very slowly and it opened with ease.
"Thank you so much," Aiko said.
"I haven't seen your face before, are you new to this school?"
"I just moved here. Today is my first day."
"Good luck."
By now the bell rang and everybody was in their first period class.
"Come up to the office and I'll explain to them why we were late. You don't want to have a bad mark on your record," Yuki said. They walked over to the office and went inside.
"You see, I was helping this young lady by opening her locker. It was stuck and I happened to be there. I didn't want her to be late, but by the time the locker opened the bell rang. It's her first day here too," Yuki said.
"Don't worry about a thing Mr. Sohma. You helped someone out. It won't be marked against you or Miss.I'm sorry, it's seems I didn't catch your name," The vice principal said.
"My name is Aiko Sakoti," she said.
"Well like I said, don't worry about it. It's your first day here. I don't want you to be upset on your first day," he said.
They walked out of the office and went to their first class.
An.-Please review. Just to let you know, Aiko doesn't know it's Yuki. She does know he's a Sohma, but she doesn't know who he is or why he's important.
