School before lunch was rather uneventful, Tina enjoyed her classes except for math but even that one she enjoyed since HAru offered to tutor her, Penny enjoyed hers and she and Kyo were now lab partners for the rest of the semester. As Tina made her way threw the lunchroom toward the table with Momiji and Haru, she was stopped by four girls, each in the same uniforms she was in, shortened skirts and all except that each of them were wearing a pin that said "Prince Yuki fan club" on them.

"Excuse me." Said Tina though she had a feeling being polite wouldn't work.

"First you have to explain yourself." Said one blonde haired girl. What was she saying, they were all blonde.

"Um...explain what?" though she knew what was coming.

"How about why you are walking to school with Prince Yuki you trash!" she another girl.

Tina tried to keep her temper, hadn't the same thing happened to Tohru? Yuki liked Tohru so Tina would try to be nice like Tohru. "Well I am staying with him right now."

"WHAT?" They said in unison.

"Hello." said a girl with dark hair and dark eyes who had suddenly appeared by Tina.

"Hana-chan!" said one of the girls with fear in her voice. The girls had suddenly gone tense, as was Tina, who was wondering what was going to happen. There was a pause.

"Your waves are disturbed." Hana-chan said simply. At that the girls screamed and ran away, sounding like they were in pain.

"Um...thanks." said Tina, unsure.

"Your welcome. Tina, right?"

"Yeah, how did you know?"

"Tohru mentioned you, those girls were approaching you, and your aura sticks out."

"It does?" she almost looked herself over but she remembered what an aura was and that it was invisible.

"You aren't from around here, are you."

"No, actually."

"Your aura sort of fits in with theirs." indicated the table with Haru and Momiji.

"It does?" but when she looked back from Haru and Momiji's table, no one was there and she went to sit next to Haru, knowing that Yuki was probably off somewhere being popular.

"Wow, can't wait for tomorrow's Science class," Kyo said sarcastically to Penny as they walked into the lunchroom. " I had to dive for your desk to get there before that dude." He was talking about when they had picked lab partners.

"I think he was going to the girl behind me," she said. "I think you just tripped while running away from that one girl. I don't see what was so bad about her, she wasn't ugly or anything."

"Yeah but I can't take the chance that-" he stopped, having remembered that she didn't know about the curse.

"Take the chance of what, having an admirer?"

He silently thanked Penny for having a humorous personality. "Look who's talking."

They had gotten their food and sat down with Momiji, Tina and Haru when a girl walked by and bumped into the table. Penny, who had dug her fork into the mashed potatoes, lurched forward with the bump, knocking the food off of her fork and onto Tina's shirt.

"Oh my gosh! I am so sorry."

"Penny! Watch what your doing!"

"I think it was an accident." said Momiji.

Penny moved her tray to the edge of the table, near the aisle that the tables created and walked around the table to try to help Tina. Tina snatched the napkin Penny was holding out of her hand and glared at her. Penny didn't say anything but backed up to where she thought her chair was and plopped down while watching to see if Tina was getting the food off of her shirt.

But Penny didn't land in her chair. She plopped down and realized she was going to land on the floor. She put her hand out to catch herself and it slammed onto a side of her tray that was sticking out into the aisle. She landed on her butt on the floor as the contents of her tray spilled on her and went flying through the air onto a boy who was about to take a bite of the meat that was on his plate. The food hit him right in the face and he froze in surprise, anger rising, thinking someone had done it on purpose. He stood up, took a handful of corn off of his plate and yelled.

"FOOD FIGHT!" as he threw the handful of corn.

People all around began to throw food. Penny, who had just stood up from the floor, was pushed to the ground by Haru, who had been sitting next to her. Food flew all around, some of it hitting them and some of it falling on others and on the floor. Within seconds the cafeteria walls, floor, ceiling, tables, and students were covered in food.

Kyo was laughing and throwing food in all directions while Momiji hid under the table and Haru led Penny toward a side door on their hands and knees. Penny kept thinking this would be easier if her skirt were longer, and felt weird to be crawling next to this guy she didn't really know. When they reached the door, Haru pushed it open and they crawled out into the hallway, where they collapsed onto there backs, out of breath. The principal and another teacher came running down the hallway toward the cafeteria. The two of them stopped and looked at the two panting teenagers and then continued on. When the food fight had been stopped, the principal announced that whoever started it needed to turn themselves in or there would be privileges taken away from the student body, starting with the cancellation of dances and stuff.

Some of the people who had been caught throwing things were taken to the principal's office, including Kyo, who had been one of the most active people in the cafeteria. Penny decided she would tell them what had happened and that it was an accident after school. Before she could get through her first class after lunch however, she was called to go and sit with the rest of the food covered students on the principal's office. Penny sat across from Kyo, who was in no mood to talk and sat until Shigure showed up.

"Hello my name is Shigure Sohma and I am the guardian of Kyo Sohma and Penny Dear."

"How are you related to them?" the woman behind the desk looked from the computer to Shigure, who she thought was quite handsome.

"I am a cousin of Kyo's and a legal guardian to both of them. I'm not related to Penny."

The information on the screen seemed to match what he said because the lady told him to get them and take them in to see the principal.

"You look nice in a suit Shigure." Penny said when she saw him, his hair combed back for once.

"Why thank you! Now you two go running out of the house late and the next thing I know I get a call saying that you started a food fight? What happened?"

"It was an accident, really! I was going to come in after school to tell them what happened but I was told to come before I got the chance too!" groaned Penny.

"And what do you have to say Kyo?" Shigure raised an eye brow.

"She's telling the truth."

"I mean about you."

"It was a lot of fun, what are they going to do, give me detention?"

"That and let's just say Tohru is going to be very bored for a while."

"What are you talking abou–WHAT! That's way harsh!" said Kyo when he realized what Shigure was putting on him.

"Don't worry, she'll do the cooking, I can't be THAT mean to her cough or us for that matter cough"

They continued to argue until they sat down and tried to sort of what had happened. Turns out someone had tattled on Penny! Penny tried to think of who had seen her and who would want to get her in trouble. Tina...

Meanwhile Kyo's mouth was hanging slightly open. It was only a shirt...

Penny was trying to explain what she had told Shigure but the principal apologetically said that they had no proof that what she said was true and that she would be detention before and after school for the next two weeks as would Kyo, and they would both be required clean the cafeteria with others who had been in the food fight.

Tina had such a shocked look on her face that the principal almost sent her to the nurse. Meanwhile Kyo had jumped up screaming

"TWO WEEKS? YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING? I'M NOT GOING TO DETENTION FOR TWO WEEKS!"

"If you refuse to serve your detention then there will be restrictions made-"

"See if I care! See if I ever come back to this school again!"

"Kyo." said Shigure in a low voice that scared Penny. She had never seen Shigure like this. "You will go to the detentions, you will help clean up."

Kyo opened his mouth to argue but stopped when he saw Shigure's glare.

This sucks, thought Penny. They have a detention BEFORE school! It was hard for her to get to school on time, how was she going to get there earlier for detention?

They were told they would begin their detention after school and were sent to the cafeteria. Both of them were still covered in food and Kyo, in a foul mood already, began to complain as they walked toward the cafeteria.

"You stink." he said in disgust.

"What!"

"You smell like rotten food." Penny looked down at herself. She had gotten the food off of her legs and wasn't wearing her jacket since it had gotten spaghetti sauce on it and her shirt was nearly all clean. Her hair was matted with something that had hit her and Haru, probably chocolate pudding. She looked over at Kyo who was covered in stains that would probably take Tohru a long time to get out. She leaned into Kyo, who, turning and realizing what she was doing, had backed up and knocked himself into lockers, not wanting to transform.

They stood there for a moment, Kyo with a horrified look on his face, pressed against the lockers as he watched Penny innocently leaning toward him, sniffing lightly. She hoped he thought she was crazy because otherwise the point of her doing this hadn't worked.

"You smell fine," she said, still sniffing. "Sort of oniony and garlicy and, sweet and..." she sniffed and got a confused look on her face, trying to figure out the last scent. "and sort of like a ca--" up until that point Kyo hadn't been sure what to do, in fear that he might transform while trying to move her, but as he realized she was going to say "cat" he grabbed her by the shoulders and moved her to one side so he could pass and continue his walk down the hallway.

Penny laughed and ran to catch up with the tense boy. When they reached the cafeteria Penny gagged at the smell. They were given buckets of soap and water with sponges and gloves and sent off to a corner to wash tables. It was a boring job since Kyo didn't seem to want to talk to her right now. She tried getting him to have a race with her to see who could clean there table fast but he just gave her a weird look and said "Tell me you aren't enjoying this!" After they were finished, they were sent off to what was their last class of the day and sat trying to massage their sore arms and take notes at the same time. When the bell rang Penny thought she heard a soft groan echoing down the halls from all of the people who had to go to detention.

Penny didn't know where the room for detention was so by the time she got instructions she was late and was assigned an extra detention. Penny sat down roughly and glared at the chalkboard for an hour and a half, not wanting to look at her Science homework. Her day was bad enough.
