Chapter Two - Kaibara High

Ryokko trudged downstairs in her new school uniform. She noticed that the only person in the kitchen was a bored looking Haru, staring at the wall. "Haru? Where'd everyone go?" Haru turned his head toward her. "Shigure's editor or whatever came and went hysterical in the backyard, and everyone else left for school already." Ryokko blinked. "Ok then..let's go!"

After a while of walking, they finally reached the school. As they got inside, Haru examined a piece of paper. "Your locker is over there," he said, pointing at it. "And your first class is there," he said, pointing to a class now. "They'll probably give you a scheduel. I should probably leave unless I want to be late. Later." he said, walking off. "What a wonderful tour guide you are!" she called after him, walking into her class.

Thankfully, Tohru and Yuki were there but so was Kyo. Ryokko turned to the teacher, who just pointed to an empty seat behind Tohru. She walked over, sitting down. "Uh..Ryokko Sohma, yes?" the teacher asked her. Ryokko nodded. "Ok. Since you're new to this school, I'm assigning you someone to stay with for the day, to show you around. Um..how abooout.." He looked around the class, trying to pick someone. "Ah! Kyo! You've done a good share of nothing this year." Ryokko glanced at Kyo, sinking into her chair. Kyo, hoever, just acted like he was guiding someone he didn't know.

Ryokko sat, not paying attention to anything during class. In fact, she was in such a daze she didn't realize that class was over until Kyo came over to her desk. "Ready?" he asked, seeming unintrested. Ryokko nodded slowly, standing up. They walked most of the way in silence. Ryokko felt awkward and nervous, but Kyo just walked, his hands in his pockets. He was looking straight ahead, and his face showed slight annoyance. Ryokko looked ahead to see two girls, both who were pretty, staring at them and whispering. As Kyo and Ryokko approached them one of them, the prettier of the two, stepped in front of Kyo. "Hey Kyo!" she said in a very flirty way. She glanced at Ryokko. "Oh..who's this?"

Kyo sighed, as Ryokko answered. "I'm new here..my name's Ryokko.." she said, blankely. The girl smiled, and it was obviously fake. She turned back to Kyo, and he gave her an annoyed look. "What do you want, Izumi?" he said, sounded just as annoyed as he looked. "I was just wondering..if you were doing anything today.." Kyo rolled his eyes. "I'm not. But that doesn't mean I wanna be with you.." he said, walking off. Ryokko stood for a momment, glancing at Izumi, then went to catch up with Kyo.

"Hey..you didn't have to be so mean about that.." she said. Kyo looked at her. "Whatever. She does that every day. She doesn't get the point that I don't like her. I don't know why she likes me either.." Ryokko glanced the other way, examining the hallways. "So..do you just blow off every person who likes you?" she said, not waiting for an answer. The bell wrang, and they had different classes. As she walked away, Kyo threw her a confused look, but soon brushed it off and walked to his own class.

Tohru and Yuki had their next class together. Everyone, except Tohru, knew that Yuki and Kyo had been trying to admit their feelings for her. Slowly, but surely. Yuki found this as an opportunity to do so. He turned around while the teacher stepped outside for a moment. "Tohru..have you ever loved someone..?" Tohru bliked, looking at Yuki. It was an odd and random question. "Well..umm..I'm not too sure if I have or not..what about you Yuki?" she asked, tilting her head. Yuki sighed. "I love someone..but I'm not sure if she feels the same way.." Tohru smiled. "Oh, I'm sure she does! I mean, you are Prince Yuki!" Yuki winced slightly at the name, but it actually sounded good coming from Tohru.

Since the teacher was still outside, Tohru decided to ask Yuki about Ryokko. "Yuki..what exactly happened to Ryokko and Kyo..?" Yuki paused for a moment before answering. "It isn't something for such a big deal to be made out of..but that's just the kind of person that Ryokko is..You see, a few years ago when were about thirteen or so word started getting around that Ryokko had a crush on Kyo.." He looked at Tohru before continuing. "Of course, once Akito found out he became furious. So, he called them each up. He asked Kyo what he thought of this and Kyo told him that he hated this whole idea, because he didn't like Ryokko..and Akito, of course, told Ryokko this. Plus, he punished her for even thinking about liking someone in the family..and that's how that started.."

Tohru blinked, staring at him. "That's so sad..did Kyo really not like her?" Yuki shrugged. "That's what he told everyone..but then again, Kyo would do anything to save his pride.." Tohru looked down at her desk as the teacher came in and fell into deep thought. She wondered if she would ever love someone enough that she would have to feel pain. Ryokko and Kyo were only thirteen at the time, and look what happened. Maybe - just maybe - if she told the person she loved now, she would be able to experience love first hand.

Ryokko sat in her class, taping her pencil impatiently. She was trying hard to pay attention, but she was currently in math, her least favorite subject. She felt a tap on her shoulder, and turned around. Behind her was a girl who was smiling greetingly. "Hey..you're new here aren't you?" Ryokko nodded slowly. "My name's Kin Mioko." the girl said, holding out her hand. Ryokko smiled a bit as well. "Ryokko Sohma." she said, shaking her hand. Kin blinked. "Sohma? Does that mean you're related to 'Prince' Yuki?" Ryokko looked at her awkwardly. "Erm..I guess.." She didn't get the prince thing, but went along with it anways. Kin, however, looked amazed. "Wow! You're so lucky!" Ryokko nodded slowly, facing the front again.

Shigure was sitting on the porch with Hatori. "Have you noticed lately that Yuki and Kyo have been trying to admit their feelings for Tohru?" he said, looking at the doctor. Hatori nodded, not saying anything. "Their timings a bit off though..seeing as how Ryokko just came.." Hatori looked up. "Once Akito finds out about this..he'll probably burn your house down.." Shigure got out of his serious mode and laughed. "Now now Hatori. Don't make excuses for me to come and stay with you!" Hatori rolled his eyes, sighing.

Once school was finally over, the first thing Ryokko did was wander around the school, lookign for Tohru, Yuki, or Kyo. After a while of looking and realizing she wasn't going to get anywhere, she decided to wait outside. Once she got outside, however, she saw Tohru hanging out with two girls. One looked very goth, and the other looked like a tough girl. "Hey Tohru!" she said, walking over to her. Tohru turned, smiling at her. "Hello Ryokko! These are my friends Hana, and Uo!" Ryokko turned to her friends and smiled, saying a slight hello. "Ryokko's another Sohma!" Uo blinked. "There's more of them?" Ryokko sweatdropped a bit. She knew the Sohma family was big, and it was sort of embarassing.

Hana, however, just stared at Ryokko. "Her waves seem..alright.." she said in that creepy way of hers. Ryokko blinked, staring at her and getting a little creeped out. "Tohru, are you going to walk home?" Tohru blinked. "Oh no..I have my job today! I'm sorry! Um..Kyo and Yuki should be out soon. If they don't come though, I can always be late for my job and drop you off!" Ryokko smiled. "No no..it's ok. If they don't come I'll er..find my way.." Lucky for her, Kyo came out of the school, walking towards their little group. "Hey Orangey. Where's the Prince?" Uo said, looking at Kyo.

Kyo glared at her. "Like I give a damn where that stupid Yuki is." Tohru, however, smiled. "Yuki's at a student council meeting. Kyo, do you mind walking Ryokko home? If you don't want to I can but-" Kyo cut her off. "Forget it. I don't mind." He turned around and began walking home, without even telling Ryokko. "Bye Tohru! It was nice meeting you guys!" she said, running off to catch up with Kyo.

"Thanks for giving me a notice.." she said, some-what quietly. Kyo shrugged, not answering her. "Seriously. Are you moody with everyone?" Kyo stayed looking forward. "What do you think?" After a few minutes of silence, Ryokko started talking. "So..I've heard that you and Yuki both have a reaaaaaaaaaaaally big crush on Tohru.." Kyo didn't answer her, he just stared forward. "Have you told her yet?" Kyo blushed a little. "What makes you think I like her like that? I don't, ok?" Ryokko smiled a bit, showing that she didn't really believe him. "You should tell her you know. In most cases it makes you feel better.." she looked down at that last part, realizing she shouldn't have said that. "Hey don't turn this around, not everything has to relate to that.."

Ryokko rolled her eyes. "I didn't mean it like that! I mean, just because it turned out horrible for me, doesn't mean the same thing will happen to you. Especially since Tohru isn't a Sohma.." Kyo looked the other way, trying desperatly to change the subject. "By the way..I'd err..appreciate it if you didn't mention what happened between you and me to anyone. I know..it's not something to get so worked up over but..you get the point.." Kyo nodded very softly.

As they entered the house, Ryokko ran upstairs. She found that moment very awkward for some reason, and she just wanted to sit in her room.
