But I'm rambling. Here's your chapter everybody, please review it, I'd be very happy to see feedback!
"Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuki, we're going to be late!" Kyo yelled up the stairs, cursing under his breath as he pulled on one shoe, and then the other.
"Coming," Yuki replied, closing his notebook gently. The front was perfect and clean, but inside it held Yuki's most horrible memories and secrets, things that he couldn't even yet bear to tell Kyo. The reasons that he woke up in the middle of the night, covered in a cold sweat and feeling like he had just ran a 500-yard race with a serial killer chasing him.
He was calm. He slipped on his black dress shoes and then, un-hurriedly, walked down the stairs and to the front door.
"Great, now we'll be late you damn rat! School starts in 15 minutes!" Kyo exclaimed.
"You could have left without me," Yuki stated, picking up his bag.
"No, I couldn't!" Kyo yelled angrily, ready to tear his hair out.
"Why not?" Yuki questioned, beginning the customary walk to their expensive private school. Kyo followed quickly behind him, catching up in an instant and looking aggravated that Yuki wasn't in more of a hurry.
"Because, because—Just because!" Kyo exclaimed.
"Uh huh," Yuki murmured, looking disinterested.
"WHY ARE YOU SO WEIRD TODAY?" Kyo yelled, his cat ears sticking straight up, steam rising from his head.
"Kyo," Yuki said calmly, not at all bothered by Kyo's little display, "Have you noticed that Kisa and Hiro haven't even left the house yet?"
Kyo stopped in the middle of the intersection they were crossing, pondering. Yuki grabbed his jacket sleeve and tugged him over to the sidewalk.
"Yeah, so they're just running late too!" he objected.
Yuki sighed, and sat on a bus stop bench. "Kyo, look at your watch. What time does it say?"
"8:35… We're late!" Kyo said pointedly.
"Ok, now look at my watch. What time does it say?" Yuki said wearily, holding out his wrist so Kyo could look.
"7:35…" Kyo sounded confused.
"Now, think Kyo."
A look of realization dawned on Kyo's face. "Oh…OH! Daylight savings time… fuck!"
Yuki laughed. "You should've remembered that…'spring forward, fall back'. It's the easiest thing to remember."
"Well, well…" Kyo spun around angrily. "Common," he stated, trying to regain dignity, "Lets go."
Yuki could only laugh and take Kyo's hand lightly as they headed towards their school, the chilly air swishing around them gently.
The two of them had enrolled at the beginning of the school year, after their summer of attempted escape. Luckily they were successful. And now they lived in Vancouver, B.C.
Vancouver wasn't bad, although it was crowded. And they fit in well, seeing as half the population spoke either Chinese or Japanese. They spoke both, as well as English, making it easy for them to blend in well.
The school was a large, red brick building with four floors, marble flooring and elevators. The classrooms were well equipped, the teachers knew what they were talking about (well, most of them,) and there was three courtyards with fountains and picnic benches. Kyo's favourite part, of course, was that they didn't have school on Saturdays.
The uniforms were fairly simple, nothing fancy. A white dress shirt, short or long sleeved, with the school crest on the pocket. Navy blue blazers or a navy blue vest, and navy blue or black slacks. White socks, black dress shoes, and optional hats and gloves were available. The girls uniforms came with the same requirements, although they also had a choice of a navy blue and white plaid skirt, in short or medium length.
In fact, the school was so expensive, private and altogether snobbish that they had their own umbrellas, given to the students on their first day. Kyo, of course, had thought it very funny. Yuki literally had to elbow him in the stomach so he wouldn't laugh loudly enough for the principal to hear.
All in all, the two were content where they were. And the best thing was…
"Oh yeah, guess what Kyo?" Yuki said as they took their seats early in their first period classroom on the third floor.
"The sky is falling?" Kyo said sarcastically, pulling out his laptop from its case and placing it on the desk.
"No," Yuki replied, also taking his laptop out, "I spoke to Eryk yesterday."
Kyo froze. I spoke to Eryk yesterday… "Oh?" He tried to act casual, but couldn't help the slight waver in his voice. The very hot sixteen year old and new Head of the Sohma's, Eryk. Akito's younger brother…
"Yeah. He's letting everyone visit. They'll be coming in a few weeks, everyone's taking the week off school to fly here." Yuki sounded pleased, and Kyo relaxed.
"Oh, ok." Inside he breathed a sigh of relief. "Wait, is Eryk coming?"
"No, he said he was too busy." Yuki said, sounding distracted. He was staring at his computer screen, doing whatever the school president needed to do in the mornings. Yes, he had been voted school president. Again. Much to his dismay.
"Ok," Kyo said, and slouched in his chair. He was glad that Eryk wouldn't be coming, he didn't want that night coming back to haunt him any more then it already did. Bored, he pulled up a game of solitaire and began playing.
Gradually the thudding in his ears, made by the sound of his heart, slowed and he calmed, and it was easy to convince himself that he was just nervous around the new head of the family because of his position as the Cat. No, it had nothing to do with the fact that Eryk was intelligent, cute, and witty, had a sense of humour, and was undeniably gay. Not to mention that he happened to like the one person who he wasn't supposed to; Kyo.
Once again, in case you didn't read this at the top, this is a sequel, so if you had absolutely no idea what was going on, then that would be why :D So, was it good, bad, funny? Review and tell me what you think! Please?
