Okayhere we go!
Chapter 2: Eiko's First Day
At school...
"Finally! We made it on time!" Eiko managed to say through deep breaths.
"We have a little bit of time, let me see your schedule." Eiko handed her schedule over to Yuki. He looked at it for a minute.
"I see that you have all of Miss Honda's classes. You'll be fine."
"That's good. I just hope I can catch up on the work."
"I'm sure you will." They all walked to homeroom together because they all have the same class.
"Class, we have a new student today. Miss Takaia, please come up front." Eiko got out of her seat and walked to the blackboard. She blushed as everyone stared at her. Even Yuki, who had already met her.
"Please Miss Takaia, tell us something about yourself."
"Umm... my name is Eiko Takaia, and I'm from Kyoto." She blushed even more. She wasn't really a people person.
"Okay Miss Takaia, you may take your seat now. I hope everyone will kindly welcome her as part of our class." Eiko walked back to her seat and sat down. She was bright red, and kept her head down so nobody would notice.
The next class was gym. Eiko was a bit nervous. She was one of the worst students in gym at her old school. The girls were to do gymnastics and the boys were to do wrestling. Eiko noticed that Kyo was a little too excited about it. She looked over to Tohru who was talking with her friends. Eiko walked over to them just as the teacher told the girls to be quiet. Not caring, Eiko started talking to Tohru.
"You okay? You look nervous. Gymnastics really isn't that bad. You just have to-"
"Miss Takaia! I said to be quiet! 10 laps around the gym!" The teacher yelled.
"Only 10? Are you serious?" Eiko looked at her in disbelief.
"Don't back-talk me! 50 laps!"
"Eh, it's a bit closer..." Eiko mumbled to herself. Her school made them do at least 100.
She took off with incredible speed. Noticing that everyone was staring at her, she realized that it was most likely unnatural to be running this fast. She slowed down a little. After running 50 laps, she walked back over to Tohru and the other girls. Eiko hadn't even broken a sweat.
The teacher, who had obviously not been paying attention, told the girls to line up. They were to run across the gymnastics mat and do anything that they could. Eiko, Hana, Uo, and Tohru went to the back of the line. After some time it was Tohru's turn. She managed a cartwheel... barely. Uo had left for the bathroom so her turn would be skipped. Hana just walked across the mat. The teacher sighed at this.
"Hanajima! At least try to do something!" The teacher tapped the clip-board to her head in impatience.
Next was Eiko's turn. She took a few deep breaths. Being the new kid, she became nervous. She did not want to mess up and make a bad first impression. She ran onto the mat, did a cartwheel into two hand springs which led to a back flip, and landed with perfect grace. All of the girls stared as Eiko walked over to Tohru and Hana who were sitting against the wall. Tohru was also staring at her. Eiko sighed.
"Yeah, I know. I did a two-handed backspring. Glad my old teacher wasn't here. He would have freaked." She sat down next to Tohru. She looked over to see that the boys were staring at her too.
'Damn! I forgot everyone was human here." She glanced oer to Hana. 'Well, almost everyone...' She swore to herself that she would be more careful as she watched Yuki beat Kyo... for the third time in a row.
After school...(since I was too lazy to finish the school day. Nothing really happened so you didn't miss much.)
Eiko thanked everyone for helping her around school. Everyone went their seperate ways. Eiko went to the woods from the other side so that Yuki and Kyo wouldn't notice.
'Now to find a place to sleep...' She thought as she walked. 'It has to be away from Yuki and Kyo's house... and Tohru's must be nearby if she started to walk home with them. I better keep out of sight.' She walked for a while and saw a clearing up ahead. She pushed a bush aside to see a small vegetable garden.
"It's so beautiful!" she exclaimed. She sat down with her back against a tree. She had gotten a lot of homework (which I must say is cruel to a new student!) so she decided to start it.
At the Sohma's house...(Yuki and Kyo's, not the huge one with thousands of people and that girly man Akito)
Yuki took off his shoes and stepped through the door.
"Shigure, we're back!" He called as he walked over to the table and sat down. Kyo, being pissed off about being beaten in wrestling too, stormed in without taking off his shoes and went straight to the roof.
"What did you beat him at this time, Yuki?" Shigue came out of the kitchen with a bag of chips. (Man, I love chips. Maybe they're Doritos? or Sour cream and onion?I shall leave that for you to decide...)
"Wrestling," Yuki said, half paying attention. He was watching TV. The news was saying that there was a terrible storm brewing. He quickly finished his homework so that he could go to his sectret base and protect it from the storm. (If you don't know his secret base, then SHAME! Shame on you!)
Telling Shigure that he would be out late, Yuki headed towards his garden. He ran to beat the storm, and when he had finally gotten there, the storm had just began. He stepped into the clearing, and saw something he really did not expect to see. Eiko was asleep with her head on a math textbook next to the garden.
