"Dude, why did you grab the girls? I haven't gone black, sooooo… You can let them go… If you want…" said Haru. He really still seemed quite calm.

"I'm sorry I was mean to you back then. I have better control now. And, anyways, I've grown up quite a bit. I can see you have too…" he said as he inspected Yumi.
"Yeah, and you have grown to be nice looking, um, if you don't mind me saying…" said Yumi, now blushing slightly. As Yumi said this, Haru blushed deeply. Everyone looked at the two.
"You too…" replied Haru, who was now a deep, crimson red. (Just like Yumi, who stood there dumbfounded when she heard this!)

Back at Shigure's house, everyone was discussing how their meeting with Haru went with Shigure.
"So, you two girls met up with Haru, did you?" said Shigure.
"Yes, we did. We had to remind him, though…" replied Mahia.
"I would imagine you'd have to. Haru was about as young as Yumi, but the time just wasn't as special of a memory to him as it was to the girls, obviously…" said Shigure as he looked up.
"Yumi and Haru seemed to get on particularly well!" said Yuki.
"Yeah, you two would look good together!" added Tohru as she happily smiled.
"Oh, uh, no! Heh, heh… I-er, it was just… Um, banana?" Yumi said meekly.
As everyone went to bed, Mahia rolled over.
"Do you have a crush on ickle Haru?" asked Mahia who was now poking Yumi on the back.
"No!"
"Oh, come on, sis, I won't tell anyone, I PROMISE!"
"OK, so maybe a little bitty insey-winsey tiny ickle..."
"I KNEW IT!"
"Shut up, Mahia…"
"G'night ickle sister."
"Meh…"

The next morning, everyone slouched into the kitchen. They were all looking better than usual, except for Kyo, who looked the same. Yumi, Mahia, and Tohru all had some nice accessory that made them quite prettier than usual. Tohru had the long ribbon that Yuki had given to her at the hot springs for a white day present in her hair. Mahia had a dragon barrette in her hair. Yumi had draped a few chains onto her long pants for school. (She wore the boy's pants with a skirt over them and the girl's shirt.) and had her hair dyed purple with lime green and red highlights. For Kyo, erm, picture him with, eh, nothing different…

"Why's everyone so dressed up but me?" asked Kyo in an annoyed tone.
"Um, duh, it's picture day!" said Mahia.
"The least you could do is brush your hair or something…" said Yuki coolly to Kyo.
"Hey, at least I don't have a girl's face!" said Kyo madly.
"Uh, let's go now! If we don't leave, we'll be late for school!" said Tohru. Everyone nodded and made their way to the school building. They were all silent until they got to the building. Hatsuharu was leaning on the building in a cool pose.
"Hey." he said to everyone.
"Konichiwa! What's up?" asked Yumi, who belted out before everyone else.
"Nothing much. I'm just hanging out here, really."
"You, um, you look good today… Not that you don't everyday, just… Really exceptional today."
"Thanks! Um, you too…" said Yumi with a blush.
Mahia was sniggering behind them. Yumi went over to her and stomped on her foot really hard.
"Shut UP." she said under breath.
"Whatever… I'm goin inside, kay?" said Kyo who walked into the school.

Just then, the bell rang. Everyone grabbed their things and said goodbye to each other. They then all made their way inside the school building and to their classes. During pictures, all of the Sohmas came out to the gym.
"Where's Tohru? Not that I care that she's here or not, just…" asked Kyo.
"They call you out by your last name, you idiotic fur ball. H' is before S'." said Yuki.
Yumi and Mahia came in suddenly. They looked even BETTER then because they had managed to put their hair up in dazzling ways. Mahia had her hair up in a tight bun with chopsticks in it. The chopsticks were very beautiful. They had blue and orange dragons on the tip-tops of them. Yumi had managed to put two purple mini buns on the top of her head. The barrettes were red skulls. They weren't exactly beautiful, but they were pretty cool. Also, her fingernails were painted an almost blinding shade of neon green.

While waiting in line, the Sohma clan decided to see what ticks them and what they like.
"I like animal crackers, and my favorite food is rice balls." said Yumi as she licked her glossed lips.
"I like just about anything! I'm not particularly picky…" said Yuki.
"Same here! Except I hate miso." agreed Mahia.
"I guess rice balls are okay…" mumbled Kyo.
"OH, but I HATE jellybeans, leeks, miso, and, the worst, soy sauce. I can't stand the stuff!" said Yumi.
"I hate to eat plain rice, except when it has butter... I like American cuisine much better." said Mahia.
"I gotta agree with Yumi about the leeks, and I hate miso." said Kyo madly. He then made a disgusted face.

Everyone eventually made it up to the photographers. They all smiled largely, except for Kyo, who just did his I-don't-want-to-do-this-but-I-am-'cus-I-get-out-of-class look. Mahia waved goodbye to the others as she made her way to the band room. She didn't want to be late, so she broke into a run. But, as she disappeared into the hall, a large pop was heard.

"Oh, no!" groaned Yumi, who ran out to the hall. She was then followed by Kyo and Yuki. Yumi had to think of a way to get Mahia out of the gym… Ah-ha! She grabbed a bottle of a carbonated energy drink and started shaking it furiously. She shook and shook, until it fizzed, but didn't pop when it was opened.

"Sorry! When I opened my energy drink, it popped, and my, er, drama cloths fell out of my bag! Whoops!" said Yumi loudly. Everyone who was staring just rolled their eyes and started talking to their friends again. Yuki had managed to grab hold of Mahia and calm her down.

"What the hell were you doing?" yelled Kyo as the four walked back to Shigure's house.

"I-I'm sorry… I was running so I could get to band, and, um, well…" Mahia was crying a bit. Yumi held her and wiped her tears.

"It's okay, Mahi. I transformed once, and a bunch of freshmen chased me down the halls! You were lucky!" said Yumi. Everyone started laughing, and Mahia stopped crying.

"Well, you were quite lucky that Yumi got everyone to think that she made the pop! Ahh, it touches me so, to see sisters showing that familiar sisterly bond… It makes the soul soar…" said Shigure poetically.

"I'm sorry, guys… Oh, I had better get to my room! I don't want to transform back in front of you!" said Mahia as she rushed up the stairs. Another pop was sounded.

"I think she just went human again." said Yuki.

"She was really stupid back there. She should have seen that dude coming at her!" said Kyo madly.

"A whole lot smarter than you could ever hope to be…" said Yuki.

"Hey what's that supposed to mean?" yelled Kyo, pushing up his sleeves and turning his hand into a fist.

"I mean, you would have done the same thing too. You are an idiotic cat, after all…"

"HEY, YOU TAKE THAT BACK, YOU LITTLE GIRLY BOY!" yelled Kyo

"I'd rather not, thanks." said Yuki calmly as he walked to where he had put his school bag.

Mahia came down the steps in a black skirt and a midnight blue tank top. Her hair was still in a tight bun. She walked down gracefully, until she tripped and came tumbling down. Needless to say, she killed the grace.

"Ugh, now I have this HUGE headache… Yuck." said Mahia who was rubbing her temples.

"Oh, I forgot. New Years is coming up. Do you want to come to the Sohma house New Years party?" asked Shigure.

"Oh, wow! I hadn't really remembered that… What were my years again… Oh my gosh! It's my year! All of the squirrels are born this year! Yay! Wait… I have to do the dance!" groaned Yumi who thunked her head on the table.

"Oh, I'm sure it will be beautiful… But it couldn't compare to the dance Yuki preformed a few years ago…" said Shigure. Yuki then flung a pencil at his head.

"I told you never to talk of that!" Yuki hissed.

"Yeah lil' sis! You really do need to get in touch with your more feminine side!" said Mahia who was now applying a bit of lip gloss to her lips.

"I will dance, but under no circumstances will I wear a dress or a skirt. I think I may have to find a nice outfit…" said Yumi.

Everyone was silent for a few moments. Mahia put her lip gloss down and looked at Yumi. Shigure was busy trying to find out what happened to his newest novel. Just then, Mii came in.

"Shigure, it's time for me to get your novel! Shigure? OH, who are you? Never mind, I haven't the time to talk to strangers. Shigure-san!" she yelled as she went in search for the mischievous novelist. She ran into Shigure's office.

"Shigure! Where is the novel?" barked Mii.

"I'll give it to you as soon as you watch my magic trick!" said Shigure in a sing-song voice. Mii sighed.

"Oh, fine. What is it?" said Mii irritably.

"Okay, now just close your eyes, okay?"

Mii did so.

"Now, I want you… To give me a personal object, such as a wallet… Ah yes, that'll do" said Shigure as Mii sighed and handed him her wallet.

"Now, remember, eyes closed!" said Shigure.

"Aaaand… Presto! All of your money has vanished into thin air!" said Shigure as he threw his hands up and started running.

"COME BACK HERE! SHIGURE!" screamed Mii as she chased Shigure around the house. Shigure opened the door to his study and ran. Mii came up and ran straight through the door and crashed it down. She looked furiously at Shigure, breathing heavily.

"Give… Me… That… Novel…Now. Give me the money, too. NOW." said Mii.

"Uh, um… Kay." said Shigure meekly as he handed over the wallet and the novel. Little did Mii know, Shigure never put the money back…

Mii went out of the door and back to her house. Everyone looked around at each other in a puzzled expression.

"OH MY GOSH! I forgot about the school dance! It's in about a week! I haven't got a date! Oh no…" said Mahia in a panicked voice.

"I don't either. Hmm, I wonder if anyone will ask me…" said Tohru. (Yuki and Kyo just stared at her, drooling slightly.)

"Hey, I'll bet ickle Yumi-Chan wants to go with Haru!" said Mahia. Yumi was giving Mahia a death glare, and was blushing slightly. She opened her mouth to protest, but was interrupted by Kyo.

"They would look good together. Two geeks that are weaklings!"

"Hey, you calling me a WEAKLING?" said Yumi menacingly.

"Well, duh. And you're both dumb-asses."

"You wanna fight, huh Kyo-Kyo? You wanna see what I'm made of? Does ickle Kyo-Kyo wanna fight?"

"HEY,DON'T CALL ME KYO-KYO! AND, YEAH, I'LL FIGHT YOU! I'LL PROBUBLY HAVE TO HOLD BACK ON YOU 'CUZ YOUR SO YOUNG, LITTLE GIRL!"

"Hey, I'm only, like three years younger! Maybe two!"

"Yeah, but that is two or three less years of knowledge."

"Like you have any…"

"HEY! LET'S GO! OUTSDE, NOW!" Kyo stormed out of the room and outside. Yumi could have been considered radioactive because of the fury that was fuming from her.

Yumi took off her outer shirt, and had on a red tank top under it. She then pulled back her hair and walked calmly to Kyo. Kyo was busy stretching and flexing his muscles. Yumi and Mahia rolled their eyes at him.

"Okay, you ready ickle Yumi-Chan?" said Kyo.

"As ready as I'll ever be." replied Yumi.

"Kyo-San." she added as she chuckled slightly. Kyo had always hated adding the san part of a name. He once said that it made him twitch.

The two got into their fighting positions. They glared at each other.

And then, Kyo ran. He sprinted towards Yumi with his hand in a fist. Yumi dodged him and made him run into a tree. He hit the tree with a splat, and then crumpled down. Kyo then sprang back up and managed to punch Yumi so hard that she fell to the ground. When she got back up, she grabbed Kyo's collar. Kyo, in return, grabbed her ponytail. The two had their arms raised and poised to punch, when suddenly, Haru came up to them.

"Hey guys. Um, what are you doing?" asked Haru.

Yumi dropped Kyo and looked at Haru.

"Hi Haru! What's up?" asked Yumi as she waved to Haru.

"Nothing much…Um, are you, um doing anything on the night of the, um, the dance?" asked Haru meekly.

"I-I-I-I, um, I'm, um banana? I mean, um, no."

"Well, er, do you, eh, wanna go with me?"

"Oh! I, um, that is, uh… Yes." stuttered Yumi. She looked at Haru and was blushing so much that her face looked dark red. Haru said goodbye and then walked off.

"Awww! How sweet! Now I just need to find a date for myself…" said Tohru.

Kyo sprang up and went over to Tohru. He opened his mouth, but then Yuki shoved a leek into it.

"Miss Honda, would you like to go to the dance with me?" asked Yuki.

"Oh, um, ah… I, um…Kay." said Tohru meekly.

"Kyo could go with Kagura!" said Yuki. Kyo had a swollen lip, so he couldn't speak very well, and didn't protest, because he couldn't.

"Aww, I need a date! Oh! I completely forgot! Someone left me a love note in my locker! It was really sweet, it had a poem and a nice bracelet. It said to meet my secret admirer by the punch bowl at the dance!" said Mahia.

"Who wants to go dress shopping! And, erm, I suppose outfit shopping for my ickle sister!" she said happily.

"I do!" said all of the girls as they went inside the house to get their money. They then all made their way to the mall.

At the mall, the girls went C-R-A-Z-Y. They all got a great dress or outfit. Mahia got a black kimono with silver and golden dragons on it. Tohru got a long pink dress. It was made of silk, and was quite pretty. Yumi got black pants with silver flames on the bottoms, a red mini-skirt to go over them, and a white halter top.

"You all look really good!" said Yuki as the girls were looking in the mirror. They had dragged the boys to the store with them.

"I think this is sweet!" said Yumi as she posed in front of the mirror.

"I have to look great, because what if my secret admirer is one of the cuter guys in the school?" said Mahia.

"It looks great, sis!" said Yumi.

The girls then went over to the cash registers and paid for their outfits.

The next few days flew by. And, before they knew it, Friday was there. The Sohma clan was going literally insane. Everyone was busy getting ready for the dance. Even Kyo got a little bit of cologne he borrowed from Shigure. (Unfortunately, it smelled a bit like bologna.) All of the girls were ready about an hour after the guys. When Tohru came in, Yuki and Kyo got blank looks on their faces. She had her hair pulled up into a bun, with a red ribbon strung down. Mahia had her kimono on, and her hair in a bun too. Yumi had purple hair with green bangs. Her hair was also sparkly. Everyone said hi, and then set off to the dance.

The gym was dark, with ribbons hung everywhere. It was really pretty. Haru came up to Yumi. She hugged him, and went off to dance. Kyo was just slumping around, until his doom had arrived AKA Kagura had arrived.

"Um, Kyo? It's you! Kyo, my loooove! MY BURNING PASSION! I LOOOOOOOOVE YOOOUUUUU!" said Kagura as she lunged over to Kyo. She had and evil/loving glare on her face. She grabbed him and started yelling loudly about slow dancing with her sweet love.

Meanwhile, Mahia was beside the punch bowl. She looked around. There were no guys. She made sure that her bracelet from the admirer was standing out, and looked around. Suddenly, she felt a tap on her back.

"Um, Mahia? It's, um, I'm the one who left you the note… Will you dance with me?" asked the voice. (Mahia hadn't turned around.)

"Oh, um, sure! But… Who are you?" asked Mahia. She turned around and it was… The student body president!

Mahia turned red. How was this possible? This was horrible! It was appalling! It just sucks! She was in a fiery burning hell… Fire and brimstone… This blows…

"Oh, um, I, let's… Um, maybe I'm gonna go check on my little sister…" stammered Mahia. She walked away and went to check on her little sister.'' She ran around the gym until she saw Yumi blushing furiously and Haru dancing with her. Mahia grabbed her and started describing her predicament.

"Sucks for you." said Yumi.

"Yeah, ya think I haven't noticed that! What should I do?" cried Mahia.

"Hmmmm. Tell him you have a date! Ah, but who? Oh, um, I only see one person you can use… Momiji. He hasn't got a date, and he would play along." explained Yumi as she pushed a guy that was trying to ask her out down onto the floor.

"No, seriously sis, what should I- no, wait… You weren't joking… Ooooooohhhh… Fine… I suppose I have to." Mahia bounded off to where Momiji was standing. She explained to him what had happened to her, and he happily agreed to play along. They then went over to the president.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, but I have a date already. But maybe some other time! Okay? Bye!" said Mahia as she happily waved and walked away, holding hands with Momiji.

When she got to the dance floor, she expected Momiji to let go of her hand. But he didn't.

"Oh, come on, just one dance! I haven't gotten to dance all night! Come on Mahia! Pleeeeeease!" said Momiji.

"Oh, fine." said Mahia.

"Yay!" Momiji cried as he started dancing with her.

After the dance, Yumi and Haru said goodnight. They hugged awkwardly and then made their ways home. Yuki and Tohru were still just friends, so they hugged too. And, Kyo and Kagura, well, you could probably guess how that went… She ended up giving Kyo a big hug and threatening him by telling him that if he doesn't call soon, she would tear him apart, limb by limb. And, Momiji and Mahia, well, let's just say Momiji has a little crush now, shall we?

The Sohma clan then went back to the house. As they opened the door, Shigure greeted them cheerfully.

"Well, how was your little dance?" asked Shigure. Everyone said things like it was fun, or really sweet, while Mahia just gave Shigure a big mean glare.

"Well, maybe we should all get changed and ready for bed, shall we?" Shigure said.

"Kay. I'm a bit sleepy, anyways. Night, everyone! Come on, Oni-chan. Let's go to bed." said Yumi as she went up the stairs. (Oni-chan means literally big sister.) Everyone agreed and went to bed.

But, the next morning, everything was starting to get a bit crazy. You see, Yumi had gotten a substantially large amount of American candies, and she liked to indulge on the weekends. Well, she ended up getting everyone, including herself, sugar-high on American candy!

"OH! Sissy! Gimmie some more gummi bears!" said Mahia.

"No, go find your own!" said Yumi as she snatched the gummi bears from Mahia. The two then started fighting, and ended up settling for some chocolate.

"So, we got our test scores from math today. I stank. What did you get, Yuki?" asked Yumi.

"Oh, I got a hundred." replied Yuki.

"And you Kyo-san?" asked Mahia.

"I got a hundred too…" mumbled Kyo.

"Oh, no! I better call Hatori!" cried Mahia as she rushed to the phone.

"Why? Is there something wrong?" asked Tohru nervously.

"Yes, of course! I think Kyo has just sprouted a brain!" cried Mahia. Yumi, Mahia, and Shigure then fell over laughing. Yumi literally fell to the ground. It was pathetic, really. Shigure was complaining of a migraine because of all of that laughter shortly after this little medical ailment.

Just then, there came a knocking on the door.

"I'll get it!" shouted Tohru happily as she pranced up to the door. She opened it and Momiji was standing on the porch.

"Oh, why hello Momiji! How are you?" asked Tohru kindly.

"I'm good! I've got a surprise for everyone! Come on, come outside! Oh, and Mahia, you can stand by me."

Everyone filed outside to see what the surprise was. Momiji bounded out in front of everyone. He then picked up a little box from the ground. He handed it to Mahia.

"Open it! It's for everyone!" said Momiji. Mahia tore open the box and in it was… A set of keys.

"What in the hell are those damn things for?" asked Kyo.

"It's for gold week! We get to go on a road trip! Isn't that fun sounding? We get this big camper, and we get to go camping outside in tents, and oh my gosh it's gonna be soooooo fun!" cried Momiji happily. Everyone just stood there, with very very blank expressions on their faces.

"Sounds like fun! I have great hiking boots!" said Yumi.

"Thanks Momiji! That was wicked of you!" Yumi added as she went over and hugged Momiji. (She turned the hug into a noogie.)

"Yes, that was really quite nice of you Momiji. Thank you." said Yuki.

"Well, I think it's gay. And if you think I'm gonna spend one minute out there, then you must outta' your minds." said Kyo as he pointed his nose upwards.

"Fine, I guess you could just leave Tohru out in the wilderness all unprotected…" said Momiji slyly.

"I guess I can go on the stupid trip. But it's not like I'm gonna like it." said Kyo.

"Yay! Okay guys, next week id the trip, kay? See you next Monday! Bye!" Momiji bounced off, and left the rest of the family standing outside, knowing that soon they would be going on an insanely wild trip soon.
