Taking a twist;; Chapter Two; Introductions and more

"Teacher! Everyone stand!" As the student of class 3-D said that, everyone rose from their seats. The teacher walked through the door and placed some papers on his desk.

"Good morning class! You may be seated." At that, everyone went to their seats. "Well, today, we have three exchange students from the states." Everyone began talking amongst themselves. Girls exclaimed how they hoped it'd be a bunch of really hot guys. Tohru glanced over at Yuki and Kyo, and began to smile at herself. The teacher began clapping his hands. "Now now class. They're right outside the door, so…" He turned towards the door, "You three can come in now!" Everyone positioned themselves as they stared at the opening. The knob began to turn, and it finally opened. The three girls walked in the class, feeling the heated stares on their body. "Why don't you three introduce yourselves?" He smiled at Safaia, Bara, and Hotaru.

Bara grinned pleasantly as she placed her hands behind her back.

"Hi everyone! My name is Bara, Bara Minako, and I'm from Massachusetts, like these two." Her hands pointed to both sides of her. "I'm just your typical crazy girl." She let out a goofy smile as the class stared at her awkwardly. Kyo raised his eyebrows at the girl.

"What the hell?" He said quietly to himself.

Safaia began laughing and quickly apologized for her behavior.

"Heh, well hello, I'm Safaia, and like Bara already said, we are from the M-A!" Safaia looked to Hotaru, who was looking around the class. Ten seconds of silences passed and Hotaru realized everyone awaited for her very own introduction.

"Oh! Hahaha…." She let out a nervous laugh, "Hello… I'm Hotaru… Hotaru Tomoe… the sane one… compared to these psychos…" She mumbled her last statement quietly and quickly. Hotaru moved strands of hair away from her face.

"We're not that psycho…" Bara muttered under her breath and began to look down at her feet.

"Well… Uh…" The teacher grinned nervously, "Welcome to our class! Let's give you three some seats… Bara… You could sit…" He looked around the class, "Next to Kyo!" Kyo's head shot up as he looked to the desk at his left, perfectly empty. Bara walked over to the boy that had the fastest reaction. 'What orange hair...' She thought to herself, 'He's quite cute… I do hope I could get to know him better… But he looks… rough...' As she sat down, she looked over to him.

"Hello, how are you?" Kyo glanced at her with his red eyes, soon staring at her with an expressionless face. "Heh…" She had a nervous smile, realizing he wouldn't say anything… Her eyes saddened a bit and she turned to the front, paying attention the teacher.

"Safaia," he began, "You can sit next to Miss Honda." Safaia nodded; her shining blue hair flying up as she motioned herself and walked on.

"And Hotaru, you can go to the last empty seat in the class." Hotaru began to scan the class as she looked for the seat. She found one next to a boy with violet colored hair. She found herself catching her breath as she saw him. Boy, was he gorgeous to her. She walked slowly, lowering herself to the seat.

"Hi, I'm Yuki Sohma, it's very nice to meet you Miss Tomoe." Hotaru smiled.
"It's nice to meet you, Yuki."

The teacher began to teach his lesson, Hotaru doodled in her notebook and sent a note to the other two girls.

'Yup, I defiantly like where I am.'

-----

The bell rang for lunch. The three girls met up outside the class. Hotaru handed Bara and Safaia their own note. They both smiled towards their friend.

"Well, let's start our first lunch period here!" Safaia exclaimed with much excitement.

"Uh, I think I'm going to the roof. It's a nice day." Hotaru and Safaia looked at Bara like she was crazy.

"Don't you want to meet new people?" Hotaru asked Bara.

"I can do that any time, I'll see you guys later!" At that, Bara left her friends and walked down the hall.

"Oh well," Safaia said, "Now lets go to lunch! I'm hungry!"

"Pcccch," Replied Hotaru. Safaia latched her arm with Hotaru's, and they turned right, walking down the other hallway.

-----

Bara leaned against the fence on the roof. Her hand was holding onto the metal rim as she stared off at the grassy fields. She heard the door coming from behind her open. Turning around, she saw familiar short orange hair.

"I didn't expect to see you here." He walked towards the fence where the girl resided.

"I'd rather be outside on a nice day than surrounded by people wanting to know who the heck I am." Bara turned back to the fields and gazed at the scenery.

"Mhmm, I agree. I've had that happen to me." He looked down, holding a bag with his lunch. Bara turned around once again.

"You mean, you haven't been at this school since year one?" Kyo looked up, his orange hair covered his eyes a bit. Bara walked over to Kyo and sat in front of him.

"No, I have, just not at the beginning. I came in the middle of the year. Plus, I'm related to that damn rat…."

"Uh.. Excuse me?" Kyo took out some rice balls from his bag.

"Uh, never mind… So, do you want any? They're nothing fancy, just plain rice." Bara looked at his rice balls.

"They're your lunch, I'm fine." Bara smiled slightly, and stood up once again. "I take it you come here a lot?" Kyo looked at her, swallowing his first bite.

"Yeah, I come here about every day I guess." Bara nodded.

"Ok, I guess I'll leave, after all, I'm probably bothering you. Plus, you found this place first… See you in class." Se walked past him and opened the door. Kyo stood up.

"Wait…" He ran towards her with a rice ball in his hand, "You don't have a lunch. You should… y'know… eat it." He took her hand and placed the rice ball in it. He turned his face away, only because it began to grow a crimson color. Bara looked down at the rice ball.

"Are you sure? I could always get something." Bara continued looking at the rice ball, while Kyo's hand was still under her own. 'He's still holding my hand...'

"Yeah, I'm sure." He spoke with assertiveness growing in his voice, "Everyone needs energy, you're no different." Bara nodded and smiled at Kyo. She broke off some sticky rice with her other hand and placed it in her mouth. "C'mon…" He spoke quietly, "Let's sit down. We still have a lot of time left." Kyo walked ahead, still gripping Bara's hand lightly. Bara walked behind him as he dragged her. They both sat down next to each other; Kyo was on the right of Bara. They both ate silently. After five minutes, Kyo had one rice ball left.
"You can have that one you know." Bara looked at Kyo.

"I'm fine, it's your lunch, you only brought so many for yourself, and you already gave me one!"

"Oh just eat it! I made extras anyways." Kyo's voice began to grow aggravated. Bara sighted and took the rice ball willingly with her left hand. She stared at it for quite some time.

"Well!" Kyo said loudly.

"WHAT!" Kyo looked at Bara with his eyebrows raised. Bara began to giggle at her outbreak. "I'm going, I'm going." She bit into the rice ball, chewed, then swallowed. "Thanks. I guess I did need some lunch." Her smile had an effect on him. It began began to make Kyo's stomach churn.

"Uh… No problem." He quickly looked away, and continued to nibble on the rice ball in his own hand.

A few minutes passed as they finished lunch completely. It was quiet between the two.

"How much longer until lunch period is over?" She removed the clip from her hair, releasing it from the bindage. Her hair immediately swayed in many directions. She leaned back on the cement and closed her eyes.

"About thirty minutes." Kyo replied. He, too, laid back onto the cement.

"So…" Bara paused, trying to find the right words, "Are you and Yuki related in any way? You both have the same last name and all… Although you look nothing alike, besides the fact that you two are gorgeous." Kyo processed her last statement threw his head. 'We're gorgeous? I'm gorgeous?'

"Uh, we're cousins. What're you going to do about it?" His voice went from calm to aggressive.

"Nothing, I just wanted to know. Although, I do admit, that was nosy of me. I'm sorry." She stood up, brushing her navy blue skirt. "I really must be bothering you now…." Bara walked back towards the fence, staring beyond the school fields. They were bother silent for minutes. Kyo sat up and began fidgeting with his black sleeve. The wind rustled in the air, unseen to the eye, but felt caressing the skin of the two students.

'Why...' Kyo looked at the back of the girl's head.

"I think I'm going back inside, see you in class Kyo." Bara turned around, smiling at Kyo. Her eyes quickly shifted down and she walked past him and towards the door. Kyo's gaze followed every movement Bara made. He watched as she opened the door and walked down the stairs back into the school, with the door slowly shutting itself. Kyo sighed, standing up. He walked to the very spot Bara stood at.

"Why… do I want to talk to her more…?"

Chapter two people! It was originally longer, but I think this is a good spot for me to stop. )

Please tell me what you think. Yes I know, Kyo was a bit OOC, ok, very much OOC, but it's sort of hard. I mean, even he has vulnerabilities. And I know, he wouldn't take on to a total stranger so quickly, but whatever. People can change.

I'll update again tomorrow… If I remember. )

Taking a Twist; Chapter Three; A turn for the worst Preview

"Oh! Momiji! Why hello, what brings you here?" Tohru exclaimed joyfully. Although, Momiji eyed Tohru as if she were crazy.

"Toh…Tohru? Why aren't you at the hospital?" His child-like voice quivered as he spoke.

"What do you mean the hospital? Why would I be there?" Tohru had a very confused expression.

"You don't know? Ha'ri says that your grandfather is at the hospital…" His voice softened and saddened as he continued speaking. Tohru's eyes grew wide...

Until Next Time!
