Kyo and Yuki tag along too but they are in the back arguing.
"like cat and mouse"thought Stephanie.
Haru had disappeared after the bell had rung at the end of class.
Stephanie for awhile wondered where he had gotten to but more
important matters came to her attention do that Haru was soon
swept away into nothingness.She was more worried about what Brian
was going to say about her showing up with so many people.He would
probably be okay with it cause back in the states she had people
over all the time but they were all girls and Brian kept to his room.
He had had boys over all the time but he had always made Stephanie
promise to stay in her room and lock her door.She had always thought
that was because his friends were perverts.She never questioned Brian
though he had been the one that was always there for her.He was the only
one that she ever thought had loved her.When she was younger she could see
things she could see now to but she knew to tell only Brian.He was the
only one who believed her.Believed that what she saw was true.Believed that she
could...
"You stupid Baka Neko"
Stepahnie turned around and saw Kyo on the Ground with Yuki oh his chest holding Kyo's throat down with his hand.It took her a second to realize that calm and sweet yuki was the one who had screamed.Stephanie looked over at Tohru and saw that she was pale and trembeling and that she was rooted to the spot.So Stephanie totally forgot her warnings from both mother and brother and rushed over to pull the 'cat and mouse' apart.At the moment that she rushed over Tohru grabbed Stephanie and started yelling at Kyo and Yuki to stop it.
"Yeah pull yourselfs together you are fighting like a cat and a mouse."Stephanie Screamed
That made both the boys stop and look at her.Yuki slowly got off of Kyo but never taking his eyes off Stephanie.Kyo got up off the floor and walked by Stephanie and whether it was on purpose or not bumped it to her.
"Hey Baka Watch where your going!"Stephanie Screamed
"Yuki Come Over Here NOW!"screamed Kyo at his stunned Cousin
Yuki walked over to Kyo.Then Kyo Rudely Pulled him over to a near by tree.
"She Can be one of us can she Yuki i mean its just not possible i mean it cant be"
"Actually she can be Kyo"
"What are you saying Yuki?"
"Just That...?"
"come on kitty lets go...you too mousie..."Stephanie said sarcastically"lets try not to make my brother mad hes probably worried sick about me anyway"
They went the few blocks left to Stephanies house in complete silence.Kyo and Yuki were to stunned too stunned to even try to talk and Stephanie was lost in thoughts as always.Tohru was just worried she knew the family secret Stephanie did not but what if Stephanie was part of that family.If she is then...
Tohru turns in front of Stephanie and says"I have vowed to keep your Familys secret and i will forever and eternity i swear it to you as i have sworn to the other sohmas"
"Umm Tohru i am not a Sohma i am a McGee not a sohma if i was a sohma wouldnt i have lived here in japan all my life? unless i was adopted..." the look of realization came onto Stephanies face.She then rolled as fast as she could to the house that she shared with her brother"BRIAN BRIAN BRIAN GET BOOTY HERE RIGHT NOW YOU STUPID INGRATE!"
"STEPHANIE WHAT IS WRONG!"he yelled at his sister from what she thought was the kitchen.
Stephanie rolled into the Kitchen to meet her Brother"How could she Brian?"
"How could she what Stephanie your making no sense"
"OUR MOTHER HOW COULD SHE OF DESERTED US!"
"Stephanie she didnt desert us shes back in the states remember we left her at home."
"Shes not our real mother"stephanie mumbled almost incoherently under her breath"shes not and she never will be."
"Stephanie...what are you...?"
"Havent you guessed it yet?"
Just then Yuki came rushing into the kitchen.
"Stephanie are you ok?"Yuki asked with a look of concern on his face.
"Yeah i am just..."Stephanie Said as she wiped the tears she had always been unwilling to shed"...fine"
Then Yuki did something that even surprised himself he walked straight over to stephanie and hugged her.Kyo and Tohru had come in and stared open mouthed at Yuki and Stephanie.Brian was surprised because he was the one who was there when Stephanie had hugged Phillip...but it was so long ago.Stephanie had wanted to tell him something important...Maybe it was the thing he was thinking about earlier.That the inseparable team was adopted.He decided to have a long talk with his little sister.
Then finally Yuki and Stephanie broke apart.Yuki was staring at Stephanie then he looked at Kyo with his blank expression as blank as ever.Then he looked over at Tohru and when he expected to see the ever happy face he saw one instead of sadness and grief.
Tohru found this the perfect time to invite Brian to come meet the rest of her...his Family.
"Brian...Sir...Stephanie and you are invited for dinner if you would delight us for an evening
and attend you may meet some of your family"
"What is your name little girl?"Brian asked Tohru
"Umm...Tohru Honda Sir"
"Tohru how do you even know that me and Stephanie are a Sohma?"
"because..."but tohru barely got the words out before Kyo interrupted her
"Because when Yuki touches her he doesnt turn into a...mousie as or Dear Stephanie would call him and i dont turn into a...Kitty..Watch"Kyo walks up to Stephanie and gives her a hug"...see but if say tohru were even to bump into you my guess would be that you would turn into a Rooster or a horse"with those final words Kyo pushed Tohru into Brian and with a pop and a puff of pink smoke a rooster had formed where Brian has stood.
"so your the rooster that makes our lovely relative here a darling horse"said Kyo"lets go or Shigure that stupid dog will start worrying. and you two are coming with us."
With a pop and more smoke Brian turned back into himself and rushed out of the room to put some clothes on.
When he finally returned they all set out to Shigures house.All the time Stephanie was wondering...Why a freakin horse...and...what surprises would they find at shigures?
