"WHAT!" Both Yuki and Kyo half yelled in unison.

"Yeh.. They said it was an accident, they didn't mean to add me to the list, but since it's already too late to find a replacement, they asked if I could go.. And I agreed." Tohru said, looking at her feet.

"Hmm.." Shigure said as he read the letter once again.

Dear Honda Tohru's Parent or Guardian,

Honda Tohru has been accepted to join the student exchange program, and will be trading places with a student child in America. Honda will stay there for 2 months.. The child you will be receiving will be receiving in turn, will also stay for two months time, in which you will teach her the rich history of the Japanese. I strongly encourage bonding with whole families, the more knowledge for our young student, the better. She is fluent in the Japanese language, as Honda is with English. The child's information of whom shall be staying with you is attached in this letter. Have Honda ready by Saturday morning at 11 am at school, a car will be there to pick her up and drop her off at the airport. No pets or animals of any kind will be tolerated on this trip, any sneaking of illegal objects will also not be tolerated.

Have a nice day, And I'll see you bright and early on Saturday morning!

Sincerely,

The school board

"I knew that stupid girl would get us into some kind of trouble." Kyo said, sighing anime style, only to be knocked upside the head casually by Yuki's balled fist.

Yuki also sighed and walked away, to brood no less.

"Well! Lets see who's coming to visit us!" Shigure said happily as he pulled out the other piece of paper located in the envelope and read:

"Kat Johnson.

Age: 15

Sex: Female.

That is all you need to know for now, she will arrive at your house Sunday morning with her papers and belonging for two months. No need to pick her up, a car will drop her off. Please greet our American guest with great respect and kindness." He flinched at her being a female.

"WHAT?! A stupid girl in exchange for ANOTHER stupid girl?!" Kyo said enraged. He flipped the table over and stormed up to the roof.

Shigure sweat dropped with an anime grin. "WELL! It is Thursday, you should start packing for your journey. And don't mind Kyo or Yuki. Even if they don't show it, they'll miss you a great deal." He said, shooing Tohru up the stairs to her room. When she disappeared, he sighed and sat down, rubbing his temples, 'It will be a long two months without you.. No delicious home cooked meals or a clean house..' He cried anime style.

Saturday morning

"TohruTohru! I'll miss you!" Momiji said waving madly as she smiled, waved back and got into the car.

The others simply waved, besides Kyo, who stood with his back facing the departing car.

"Eh, who needs that stupid girl anyways!" He said returning to the Sohma's car, soon followed by Haru, Momiji, Yuki and Shigure.

"I'll miss her!" Momiji said as he was buckling his belt.

"I won't." Kyo said looking out the car window. "I'm glad that stupid girl is gone for two months." He frowned, 'I will miss her…'

"Baka neko.." Yuki mumbled, sighing anime style as he also looking at the scenery shooting by.

"OI! I heard that, you damn rat!" Kyo shouted at Yuki, with a raised fist.

"Hey, hey! I don't want you two destroying my car like you do my house." Shigure grinned an anime grin with a sweat drop behind his head. He kept his eyes on the road and they made the rest of the car ride home in silence, only due to Momiji's falling asleep, if he was awake, there wouldn't be a moments peace.

They got home, and Haru shook Momiji's shoulder gently to wake him up. Momiji stirred.. "eh..? OH! We're home!!" He took off his safety belt and ran inside to get things ready for their guest in the morning.

Shigure chuckled to himself, and followed Momiji. Haru, Yuki and Kyo followed after a minute, each heading in their separate ways, Haru to the porch, Kyo to the roof, and Yuki to his garden.

Shigure sat inside as Momiji ran around making banners to post around the house for their new guest. After a few hours, and still no sign of Haru, Yuki, and Kyo coming inside, Shigure heated up some leftovers of Tohru's delicious cooking for himself and Momiji as dinner.

"Shigure! When will the other girl get here? I wanna play with her!" Momiji said clapping his hands together playfully at the table after they had munched on a few rice balls and some sushi.

Shigure slapped on a silly grin, "Tomorrow morning! And I can't wait!" Then he said to himself with a classic smooth guy look, "I wonder if she'll be cute…" Then, as if magic, got himself whacked in the back of the head as Yuki walked in casually.

"You'll never learn, will you." Yuki sighed, before reaching for an onigiri.

"YukiYuki! Did you see the decorations I made? I can't wait for the new girl!" Momiji said with little hearts over his head.

"Hai, Momiji. You show great enthusiasm towards meeting our guest." Plastering a fake smile on and taking a bite out of the soon to be found out plum rice ball. Momiji stood up and skipped away merrily.

Kyo and Haru stepped in and sat down at the table, chowing down on some bits of sushi and what's left of the rice balls.

"Ah, I think I'm gonna go work on my story now!" Shigure said patting his belly and stretching before standing up and slumping out of the room., humming a tune that went along with high school girls.. high school girls are coming for meee.

"What was his silly grin about, eh?" Kyo said harshly. Stuffing some sushi into his mouth.

"He most likely can't wait for the girl to come. You know that old perverted dog." Haru said quite dazed, chewing on a mouthful of cherry onigiri.

"We will have to remember what happens if we are, by chance… 'huggled' by the child." Yuki said standing up and looking out the window at the night sky, before retreating to his room.

Kyo grunted, and stabbed his chopsticks on the last piece of sushi, just as Haru was going for it. They both growled and pulled at the piece of sushi. Kyo slapped Haru across the head and Haru, dazed once again, let go of the piece of sushi. Kyo stuffed it in his mouth and stuck his tongue out at Haru, before laughing to himself and walking away.

Haru, just kind of pouted and stared at the place where the sushi had been, before getting up and disappearing into the halls of the house.

Kyo laid on the roof staring at the stars, 'I wonder what the new girl will be like.. I hope she's athletic. What am I saying?! I don't want any new girl around here!' He shook off the thought and turned his attention back to the stars..

Yuk sat on the edge of his bed taking his slippers off and buttoning up his sleeping shirt. He imagined a girl with long black hair and hazel eyes, giggling to herself quietly. 'Hmm…'

Haru sat on the porch and looked at his hands, then he imagined himself and this girl with short blonde hair hugging without him transforming, and sighed. 'That will never happen.'

Sunday morning

Shigure woke up bright and early to fix himself a cup of coffee and read the newspaper. He was skimming over the business section when he heard Momiji's cheerful voice and someone running down the stairs,

"Katto-kun is coming todayyy!" He squealed and whirled around in the kitchen.

"It's an American name, It isn't Katto-kun this time, Momiji. It's Miss Kat." Yuki said entering the kitchen, rubbing the sleep from his eyes.

Momiji still twirled around, singing, "Katto-kun! Katto-kun! Coming todayyy!" And disappeared into the sitting area.

Yuki, even with his lack of cooking skills, managed to heat up a batch of Tohru's beef stew without burning it for breakfast. He tapped Momiji on the shoulder, who had somehow migrated back into the kitchen by now, to go get Kyo and Haru.

Momiji ran to the foot of the stairs, and screamed, "KYOO! HARUUUU! FOOD!" Then hid playfully behind Yuki as Haru and Kyo came stomping down the staircase with their fists raised at the cute child.

After they all finished their breakfasts, and showered, got changed and tidied up the house a little bit more before the American girl arrived. At the last minute Haru was running around trying to make some snacks for when she got there.

At the exact moment Haru placed the snakc on the table in the sitting area, there was a knock on the frame of the wooden sliding door. Everyone sat around the table and Shigure went to answer it.

He opened the door with a giant grin on his face and stared at the girl, his voice caught in his throat. The others in the room peeked over his shoulder at the girl.

Yuki dropped his rice ball, Haru's jaw flung open and Kyo raised an eyebrow, while Momiji just stood silent.

The girl timidly said "Hello" and covered her blushing face with her hands…
