"Damn he's hot when he's angry!" Blaze said smiling at how mad Hatsuharu had gotten.
"Try insane!" Brooke said looking at Blaze as if she were an idiot. "Yuki told me about this. That is Black Haru."
"Black huh? Still looks white to me." Brooke slapped Blaze in the back of the head and continued.
"His personality completely changes and anger takes over him. Yuki said to be really careful if he ever ended up like this. We'd better just stay quiet. The boys started fighting and the girls stood wide eyed.
"C'mon Haru! Kick his ass!" Blaze yelled, getting a little to into it. Haru dodged a move and quickly ran over to her. He placed and Hand on her hip and slowly began to walk his fingers up her shirt.
"If you wait till I beat this dumb ass, we can have a little fun after." Haru winked and then tried to trace his hand up further. Blaze grabbed his wrist and pushed it away.
"At the rate you're going, I'll already be married by the time you're done." Haru scowled.
"You'll see babe, your wrong." They went back to fighting and Blaze was once again slapped in the back of the head.
"What was that for?" She said fixing her hair.
"Alright for starters, why did you have to get him all pissed again? Didn't I tell you to shut up? And second…"
What?"
"Why did you turn him away when you so obviously want him?" Brooke raised her eyebrows and grinned a sarcastic and victorious grin. Blaze began to rampage in a high squeaky voice.
"What are you talking about? You are so wrong! Just mind your own business!" Blaze then folded her arms over her chest and left Brooke to laugh as much as she wanted. Just then the boys made a large noise, and from the looks of it, the fight had gotten way out of control. Kyou had a black eye and Haru had a bloody lip. The girls looked at each other and then ran to the boys trying to break it up. Then Brooke accidentally got hit in the face. She backed up, a little confused at what had happened. She didn't know who hit her. She didn't really care. She held her cheek as tears began to well up in her eyes from the pain.
"Oh my god. Brooke sweetie, are you alright?" Blaze said walking up to her now crying friend. Brooke nodded, though her tears seemed to say otherwise. The guys stopped fighting and rushed over to see if she was alright.
"Holy shit. Brooke I'm sorry… I didn't mean to… Look at what you did you bastard!" Kyou yelled at Hatsuharu.
"How do you know it was me?" Haru snapped back
"Look it doesn't matter! Let's just get her to the nurse and get her some ice." Brooke wouldn't let them take her though.
"No its fine I don't want to go. She'd ask how it happened and I don't want to get you guys in trouble. I can just make myself some ice." Brooke continued to cry but then as one tear slid to her hurt cheek she closed her eyes tight. The tear stopped on her soar spot, then it seemed to spread as to cover the area and then it froze. Blaze rubbed Brooke's shoulder and smiled.
"That's my girl." She said as a smile slid across Brooke's face. "Now you guys know not to do that again alright?" Blaze said scolding the two. They nodded.
"Let's just go to class." Brooke said still sniffling.
"Ok, but first you need to get rid of this…sorry." Blaze said as she placed a finger on the sheet of ice on Brooke's cheek. It seemed to steam and then melt away. The boys were a little surprised by the girl's small display of power, but decided not to say anything.

School had ended for the day and everyone started walking home. Hatsuharu and Momiji had decided to go back to Shigure's house for dinner that night. Everyone sat at the table waiting for Tohru to serve them. Polite chit chat was made here and there.
"So how old are you girls really? I just put you as freshman because well I figured it couldn't hurt to relearn some things!"
"Well." Rae began. "When we left I was 15, Blaze was 16 and Brooke was 17."
"Brooke's the oldest?" Everyone asked at once. Brooke smiled and nodded.
"Yea... I know weird she acts like she's two." Blaze said as she took a sip of her water." Brooke continued to smile and nod and then she realized what Blaze said and made the water from her glass splash in her face.
"So anyway. We've been traveling for about 2 years now. So either we're still all the same age, or we are all 2 years older than when we started."
"Do you think you've matured at all? Is there any way you can tell?"
"Well mentally we have matured a lot. Physically we have also… but not that much."
"Yea I grew!" Blaze said happily as she stood up.
"You mean… you were shorter than you are now?" Kyou said snickering. Blaze grew cross and sat back down.
"It's not just that though. Our features seemed to have matured a little as well. Like my face has slimmed a little." Rae said.
"So you think you have aged normally?" Shigure asked.
"I'm not really sure. But if I had a choice then I would say I was 17 rather than 15… but who wouldn't." Rae said smirking as she thought of the possibilities of being older.
"So what year were you all in back at you old schools?"
"We were all Jr.s" Brooke said.
"But you were three different ages." Momiji said confused.
"Yea well Rae was put up a grade because she's smart as hell and Brooke missed the cut off." Blaze answered.
"Yes and you're grading is different. Like our high schools start with 10th graders." Shigure said.
"Yea we kind of noticed that." Rae said.
"So…" Brooke started. "When do you think we'll get to meet the rest of the zodiac members?"
"Well I'm not sure exactly… they normally just stop by."
"How about the rest of the Sohma's? Can we meet them also?" Brooke asked curiously. Yuki and Shigure shared a look and then the rest of the Sohma's did.
"I think it would be better if you didn't meet them all." Shigure said looking down at his fidgeting fingers. Before the girls could ask any questions Tohru came in with the food and served them. Everyone at in complete silence. Not another word said.
