Sorry this one took so long. I THOUGHT I posted it...but apparently I didn't, so here it is -.-

I'm so disorganized. Also, note to reviewer: I didn't actually intend to have Momiji in this story at all, Sorry! I may revise that later, of course, but sorry in advance if I don't. Uh, yeah...read and enjoy. I'm not very coherent right now..>.>

CHAPTER 5

Akiko opened her eyes languidly. She was still smiling at the events of last night. Shigure and the bra thing, leaving it in Yuki's room, Hatori trying to wipe his own memory…oh, this was too rich. It was so much fun, being a girl. Although…she would still rather be Akito. She got up and pulled on a robe over the slinky black nightgown she was wearing. She could hear Hatori moving around the kitchen.

The table was set for Akiko and Hatori. Momiji had already left for school. At Akiko's place, there was a traditional Japanese breakfast of rice and miso. At Hatori's place, there was a coffee cup and an ashtray. Akiko sat down and started eating.

Hatori came in and lit a cigarette. Akiko frowned at the smoke but didn't say anything. After taking a long drink of coffee, Hatori stubbed out his cigarette and cleared his throat.

"Akiko, what happened after we got back from Shigure's last night?" He asked. Akiko blinked. He really had wiped his own memory. She decided to tease him a bit.

"Well, you seemed to be enjoying yourself. Don't tell me you regret it, now?"

"What happened?"

"Don't you remember?" She giggled girlishly. "You're pretty good at kissi-"

"You're joking." Hatori cut her off.

Akiko sighed. "Yes I am. You passed out, so I hugged you and put you to bed."

Hatori let out a sigh of relief. "So nothing happened. Good."

They finished their respective breakfasts. Then Hatori went into his study and picked up a parcel that had come while they were out last night.

Akiko sat down on the couch and contemplated what to do. Hatori came and tossed a package to her.

"Go put that on." He said.

"Why?"

"You have to take an entrance exam for high school, and you have to wear the uniform."

"What do you mean? HIGH SCHOOL? I'm the head of the freakin' family! And I've already done high school!"

"But you can't stay in the house with a male, alone. And you aren't the head of the family. Akito is."

"I am Akito!"

"Right now, you're Akiko."

"ARG! Fine. What high school am I going to?"

"The same one as Yuki, Tohru, Kyo, Haru and Momiji"

Akiko shuddered. "Oh, well. At least Yuki will be there."

Akiko had passed the entrance exam with a grade of 100. That was because, aside from being a Sohma, She had already done high school. She was transferred into most of Yuki, Kyo, and Tohru's classes. Staring at Yuki became boring after the first few hours, and she already knew everything that was being taught, so she excused herself to go to the bathroom.

Akiko was fixing her hair in front of the mirror when a Prince Yuki Fan club trio, including the president, came in. She didn't even waste half a glance on the Yuki-obsessed girls. Not that she blamed them. Yuki was hot.

The President stationed herself in front of Akiko, blocking escape from the bathroom. "How are you connected to Yuki-kun?" She demanded. Akiko figured they noticed when Yuki, Tohru and Kyo had greeted her. Or else they noticed her staring, and how Yuki was affected.

She looked at them critically. "So it's true. Yuki really does have a fan club." She laughed and shook her head pityingly. "Too bad he's taken." She turned and flipped her hair, gracefully walking right past them and out of the bathroom door.

"She…dismissed us?" one of the girls said in shock. They turned to see their president staring at the spot where Akiko had stood, clutching her cheeks, fingernails digging into the flesh.

"t…taken?"

Akiko was sitting in the classroom again when an announcement squealed over the PA system.

"Emergency meeting of the princesses in the gym immediately!" There were some muffled sounds and what appeared to be a teacher's voice. "Oh, all right. After school. Immediately after school."

Akiko grinned smugly. Yuki turned and stared at her.

She winked.

Shigure was walking through the backyard when something in a tree caught his eye. It was black and white, but he couldn't see it clearly. He walked back and forth under the tree until he found a spot where he could see it.

It was a bra.

A cute panda bra. Clearly part of Akito the girl's attire.

What was it doing in a tree?

Shigure backed up and looked at the tree. He noticed it was almost perfectly in line with…Yuki's window.

The bra came out of Yuki's room. How did it get into Yuki's room? A horrible (and amusing) picture was developing in Shigure's mind. Akito had always liked Yuki. Would he use his girl-body to?

Shigure shook his head and tried to forget about it. The image of Yuki and Akito just wouldn't leave. The two of them in the bedroom-

He shook his head again. Walking back to the tree, he stared up at the bra and wondered how he might go about getting it down.

Akiko got home and slumped down into her bed. She was asleep almost before her head hit the pillow. Hatori shook his head and went to his office to work.

Going to school quickly became routine for Akiko. Hatori would drive her there, she would sleep or stare at Yuki through her classes, have lunch, sleep/stare some more, and then go home. Several days passed this way, until Akiko got bored. She was late for school a few times because Hatori was working on something, but other than that, one day was pretty much the same as any other.

Akiko was sitting on the couch, contemplating what to do on the weekend. Suddenly, she decided to learn how to drive. She'd get Hatori to teach her.

(A/N: This is the most random thing ever. There is nothing leading up to this and I just put this in because...I don't know, But it's funny...I hope >.>)

Hatori stared down at Akiko in utter disbelief when she asked. "Isn't it enough that you torture people inside the family? You'll kill half the population in Tokyo!"

"Hatori, you had better be joking."

"…I…am…" He said insincerely. "I'll take you to that empty lot near the river."

"There's a river?"

"Yes. It's not really near anything else."

Yeah...likeI mentioned, random. R&R, I'll try to post the rest of this soon... hugs
