Chapter 1 An Independent Girl and a Proud Prince

Tohru Honda walked into the High School yard and walked toward her friends. Tohru's friends were her family, the group of five girls, Uo, Hana, Rin, Kagura, and Tohru had become the best friends possible. Uo, Hana, and Tohru were best friends since Middle School, and when they started High School, they met the two cousins, Rin and Kagura. Rin was living with her Kagura's family for the time being because of 'family matter'. Nonetheless, the five girls became great friends and all of them would do anything for the others.

Uo was the gangster, or ex-gangster. Her tough outlook often fools people, but she's an extremely nice girl that would do anything to protect her friends. She used to be a juvenile delinquent, but fate turned her around to a girl that realized the important values of life.

Hana was the quiet one, or rather, the scary one. She had psychic abilities, and often her wave reports scared people off. She once was troubled immensely by her power, but her friends were able to help her through and accepted her. Hana's powers and gothic looks scared people off, which the five girls usually used to their advantage.

Rin was the somewhat cold one. She was sharp and said things bluntly, she was also the prettiest of the five. Her sense of fashion and flirting has eluded many boys in their school. She was also tough, and unafraid of what others thought of her.

Kagura, well, she was the violent one. This 'violence' usually erupts whenever she was extremely happy. She was the one that went after people and always got what she wanted, usually by beating someone up or just threatening them. She has had her eyes set on Kyo Sohma, one of the most handsome boys in school. Unfortunately for Kagura, Kyo had a little something different in mind.

Tohru, how to describe Tohru? Well, she was the independent one, the one that would never allow anything negative to oppress her optimism. She was the one that encouraged and supported everyone in their decisions, the one that was always there with a kind word. Yet she was the one that also refused help, or at least tried to refuse it.

These five friends were looked down upon, because people don't usually realize that they would become friends. Uo's suppose to belong to a gangster group, Hana probably to a weird psycho group, Rin was probably the most popular of the five, and Kagura should fit in about right in Prince Yuki's fan club. Tohru is just suppose to be there, not really outstanding. But the five met and became friends, and together, they found love.

----------

Kyo Sohma looked at his cousins in distain, school would be starting in a few minutes and they haven't gotten a moment of quiet since they had walked in the schoolyard. Kyo cursed under his breath that his family had to be so attention catching. At least, Yuki certainly was. Kyo sneered when his sights turned to Yuki, or the Prince, as the silly fan girls like to call. He rolled his eyes and tried to get away from the swarm of girls that seem to be creating a circle around them. His cousins were fairing no better.

Kureno, who was quiet and reserved, was standing aimlessly around. He usually listened to his cousins, even though he was older by a year than them. He had been under the orders of the family head, he was Akito's most loyal servant, or that was what some considered. Kureno however, wasn't that way at all, sure, he did obey Akito, but he had to, there wasn't a choice.

Haru was the one with the split personality. He was the one that consistently got lost and needed help with directions. But he was a loyal friend, best friends with Yuki. He was always there to listen and try his best to help, although he probably would burst into his black personality, and his white personality was a push-over…not that helpful when it comes to problems. Haru, however, always was concerned with the welfare of others.

Kyo was the loudest of the bunch; he was hot tempered and hated rain. He detested Yuki, but they hung out in the same group since, well, they were cousins, and all the other guys in the school were concerned with idiotic things, or so he thinks. Kyo's hate for Yuki was derived from two things, one, the curse that plagued the Sohma family, and two, Kyo felt like he always came second, because of Yuki superiority. Kyo was the second best fighter; he was the second most handsome boy in school, etc.

Yuki was the one that completed the group. He was the natural born leader, he was the best fighter of the four, and he had his reigning name, the Prince of his High School. Of course, Yuki would never even consider anyone because he always distanced himself off from everyone except his close circle of friends and family. He hate Kyo, because he was jealous of the cat's ability to gain friends, a factor that he has allowed to freeze within himself by freezing himself off to the world. He was considered the most popular one, not by his amount of friends, but by his appearance. People usually kept away from him because of his cold nature. Yuki was also proud; he looked down upon people, which caused him to unlike many in his High School, especially the girls that just won't leave him alone.

"I'm hungry." Haru said out of the blue.

"That's great to know." Kyo said sarcastically.

Haru just shrugged and looked wearily at the girls that had that gleam in their eyes that lions had before they strike.

"Why does it seem like the crowd of girls are forming a circle around us?" Kureno asked eying the girls wearily too.

"Uh…because they are?" Kyo said, he was in a bad mood because a thunderstorm seems to be getting ready.

"Shut up, stupid cat. I've heard enough of your talking this morning." Yuki snapped. Kyo had to move to live with Shigure and Yuki on Akito's orders.

"What did you say? You damn rat?" Kyo yelled, but he knew that it would be bad if he created a scene.

"Oh look, Kyo. Kagura has her eyes on you again." Haru said.

Kyo looked horrified for a minute. Although Kagura and him were in the same family, he never understood the girl's obsession with him. He didn't like Kagura, but he detested even more the effect of saying to Kagura that he didn't like him, which usually ended in him being battered up. He looked around the schoolyard and spotted Kagura with her friends.

On the other side of the yard, Kagura was staring intently at Kyo, to make sure that no girl will advance on her man.

"Yo! Kagura, what are you staring at?" Uo asked looked at Kagura's dazed face.

"Who else? That stupid orange headed feline." Rin said looking disgusted.

"Aren't those four boys your cousins?" Hana asked in her mysterious voice, the question was directed at Rin and Kagura.

"Yea, but we're no close." Rin said glaring at the four boys.

"They have such different hair colors. Who's the gray-haired and orange-haired boy?" Tohru asked innocently.

Uo gagged on the bottle of water that she was drinking; Tohru immediately went to her aid, as Uo sputtered, "You don't know who they are?"

Tohru shook her head just as innocently as before, and Hana said, "Our sweet dear Tohru."

Tohru looked confused and Rin said, "You better you stay not knowing who they are. They're a rude group of guys. I should know, I spend every New Year's with them. And I have to continue to suffer them whenever she starts missing Kyo." She concluded pointing to Kagura.

Kagura sighed as she briefly made eye contact with Kyo and told Tohru, "The orange-haired boy is Kyo. He's so handsome!"

Uo and Rin rolled their eyes and Rin said, "She's lovesick over them. I don't care much for them."

Uo said, "I can't believe you don't know who they are. The gray-haired guy is Yuki Sohma, the Prince?"

"So he's the prince. He doesn't look so bad." Tohru said looking at Yuki. She briefly caught his eyes for a moment before he turned away sharply.

"Please. He's so cold and proud. We're in the same family and he looks down on us. Just because he's favored by Akito." Rin said shaking her head.

The two Sohma girls trusted their friends to the extreme, so the group of five girls all knew about the Sohma curse of turning into a zodiac animal whenever hugged by the opposite gender of weakness, and they knew about the fearful had of the family, Akito.

"Really?" Tohru asked furrowing her eyebrows, the Prince didn't look that bad, but she was observing from a distance.

While, with the boys, Yuki and Kyo have started to banter and Haru was on the verge of turning black. Kureno looked at the guys and said, "Stop it, school's starting soon."

"Would that boar stop staring at me? I never even see her unless it's New Year's or she decided to beat me up!" Kyo shouted complaining.

"Shut up, stupid cat. We're not interested in you're complaints." Yuki responded coolly.

"You shouldn't be talking Yuki, you are the one with a fan club." Kureno said joking. Yuki glared at him, but was interrupted when Haru said, "Looks like Yuki just got a new admirer."

Yuki looked up and saw the brown-haired girl at the other end of the yard; he held eye contact for only a second before turning away. He wished that all these girls would leave him alone, he knew that they were probably just after him because he was a prize, not that any of they girls would ever be good enough for him.

"Why does those two hang around those three so much?" Haru pondered to himself. Yuki and Kyo didn't care, and Kureno didn't know what to say, so the question left unanswered.

"Isn't that supposed to be the super nice girl, who's always so polite?" Kureno asked.

"Yea, and her yankee and psychic friend." Haru answered.

Yuki raised his eyebrows; he didn't bother to ask how his cousins knew the three girls. Rin, Kagura, and them weren't really close. They weren't at all close. No special reason at all, but Yuki didn't mix well with his family, he had cut himself off even to his own brother.

The bell rang a few seconds afterwards, the school year has started.
