OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Soon the two where sitting down with bowls of hot soup.

"So why were you mad when you came into the elevator Kyo?" the girl questioned

"Oh my cousin Yuki had an asthma attack & my cousin Shigure was being a jerk." Kyo replied sipping his soup, suddenly he realized that he hadn't asked the girl what her name was yet! ' I'm such an idiot!' he scolded himself.

"Hey!" he stated abruptly making the girl jump

"HAI!" she exclaimed perking up to attention out of surprise.

"Gomene...I forgot to ask your name." Kyo blushed

"Oh... my name?" the girl hung her head..."You won't like it."

"Try me."

"Sierra" the girlstated bashfully as if ashamed" My name is Sierra."

Kyo nearly choked... the poor girl made it sound like she had the most miserable name in the world1"SIERRA!" he bellowed. "That is a beautiful name, Dammit you don't have much self-esteem do you?"

The girl hung her head.. she didn't think that Kyo'd blow like that!

"Gomene"

Sierra looked up to see Kyo's head looking at the floor fidgetting

"I can't control my temper & I get annoyed easily so... Gomene!" he exclaimed getting up to walk away.

'I'm such a fool.' Kyo thought... when he felt Sierra's hand grab his wrist.

"It's okay..." Sierra whispered to Kyo's back "It's okay... to voice how you feel...I'll listen."

Kyo stood still for a moment, his back turned he was wide-eyed... sweat forming on his face 'She's like another Tohru!" he thought.' NO... Sierra's only way Prettier!'

"Kyo?" Her voice rang through him " I'm not angry... honestly I'm not ... I'm pretty stupid at times & sometimes dense...but..." Sierra paused & bit her lip " Don't leave me."

Kyo slowly turned toward her & sat down " Gomene" he murmered

"You're right I am pretty low on self-esteem... aren't I?" Sierra laughed..." I'm sorry... really Gomene..."

"FOR GOODNESS SAKE STOP APOLOGIZING!" Kyo yelled annoyed... but softened " I mean it's okay when you make mistakes... it's not your fault... you don't need to apologize for everything that you think that you did wrong.. other people do wrong things too... but I don't mind." he blushed

silence

Kyo couldn't bear the quiet anymore "How?..." he started..."How long have you been here?... in the hospital."

Sierra looked up.. her face solemn "MY whole life." she stated

Kyo's head shot up "Your whole life? how?"

Sierra took a deep breath like she had repeated this story many times "Well... my parent wanted to abort me as a baby ... before I was born demo...Sensei told them to wait till the Baby was born & then he would adopt me... he didn't believe in abortion, and that's exactly what happened, Sensei cared for me like I was his own daughter but sadly after my tenth birthday... he died telling the hospital to care for me...and since sensei was the one who founded this hospital... everyone felt in their duty to care for me, and so here I am." she finished "Demo...some people say that I cursed because now whenever the midnight nurse comes to check on me she sees a grayish-black cat in my place... creepy huh?"

Kyo nodded slowly

"Tell me about you Kyo."

Kyo looked up into the pleading eyes of Sierra "huh? okay.. Well I was born on the Souma estate but ran into some problem with the whole Family & with the master of the family ... so my cousin Kazuma adopted me as his own he was the legal adult age & plus he was the shishou of a martial arts dojo... so I learned Karate it is my life...he was the only person who treated me as a human being... but them he went off to the moutains... I went with him for 4 months ... then I came back & started to live with my cousin Shigure souma." Kyo explained.

"Wow you've had an equally weird life huh?" Sierra stated sympatheticly.

"Uhuh... by the way when will you be able to leave this place?"

Sierra smiled "I can leave whenever I want to I just have nowhere to go." she stated "So I just stay here."

An idea began to grow in Kyo's head but suddenly the silence was broken by a familiar whiney, childish,high pitched voice.

"KYOOOOOO-KUN!" a familiar blonde haired boy marched in.

" I SWEAR YOUR WHINEY VOICE WILL KILL ME SOMEDAY!" Kyo bellowed twisting the younger boys ears.

"Awwwwww Kyo-kun's picking on me!" the little boy whined

Kyo grew more fusturated " Every word that comes out of your whiney mouth makes me sick Momiji!"

"What an adorable little boy!" Sierra exclaimed

Kyo grunted letting go of the boy "If you think that he he's little... don't you let that thought linger because he is excatly one year younger than us! He is!"

"My age" a smooth voice chimed in.

"Haru..." Kyo stated in quiet surprise.

Sierra panicked looking up at the boy "And how old are you?" she questioned.

Haru just looked at her.

"Gomene! I shouldn't ask people's ages! How rude of me!"she panicked "Gomene!"

Haru smiled "I'm 16 & you are?"

" You Ox! go bug somebody else! leave her alone!" Kyo yelled

Sierra was surprised "Momiji is Haru's age!" she exclaimed 'He's looks like an elementary school kid!' she thought.

Momiji looked at her "Siiieeeerrraaaa..." he stated sweetly in his cute little voice "Do you know about the Jyuunishi?" he questioned.

"The Jyuunishi? yes why?"

"Oh yay!" Momiji cheered "That means that I can hug you!" he exclaimed happily, grabbing her in a huge bear hug!... nothing happened.

Haru & Kyo stopped fighting long enough to stare.

"Why didn't he?"... Kyo muttered confused.

"Oh good, I can finally hug a cute girl!" Haru sneered.

"Oh no you don't!" Kyo yelled angrily

"Try and stop me Baka Necko!"

"Kuso OX!"

Suddenly Kyo got a huge punch from Haru.

"You're pissing me off Catboy!" Haru growled.

"You want some of this!" Kyo yelled back angrily... he had brought out black Haru!

Sierra watched in horror as Momiji cuddled close to her..she couldn't help but think of MOmiji as anything but a little kid of age 6-7

"You call that a punch kitty!" Haru yelled

"Shut-up you brat!" Kyo yelled kicking Haru under the chin.. making him fly halfway across the food court.

"Campared to Yuki you're a turtle!" Kyo yelled walking up to Haru

"Well maybe I am... but Yuki started Martial arts a Year after we did... and he's still stronger than you... even with all your special training!... so in reality ... you're worse than a turtle... you're a snail!" Haru taunted.

"I'm gonna kill you!" Kyo shrieked punching Haru's face again, fire & anger in his eyes.

"Shouldn't we stop them?" Sierra questioned horrified

"No" Momiji laughed "They do this all the time... besides... it'll be over soon."

Kyo gave Haru one more punch and the younger boy was knocked out... 3 minutes later he sat up.

"Boy I feel exhausted." Haru muttered.

"You're exhausted?"Kyo sighed breathing heavily, he turned and looked at horrified Sierra with Momiji curled up in their lap "Sorry Sierra... when Haru goes black... I have to subdue him!"

Sierra nodded a sweat drop on the back of her head " Yes I understand."

"And Momiji, she doesn't know about OUR Jyuunishi... you stupid rabbit." Kyo added "I never told her!"

Haru walked up to Sierra "Hey...I'm afraid that we didn't start off on the right foot... my name is Hatsuharu Souma... but youu can call me Haru."

Sierra smiled "My name is Sierra Mclaren."

Haru striaghtened up "hmmmm doesn't sound Japanese." he stated.

"Well I don't really know where I came from so... yah" Sierra blushed.

"Gomene... my bad temper get ahold of me alot... even when I am just little annoyed." Haru apologized. "I hope that you aren't regretting meeting any of us Souma's."

"No quite the contrary." Sierra smiled

"Can I hug you?" was Haru's next question.

"Uhhhhhh...sure." Sierra stuttered she was confused.

"YOU SICK BASTARD!" Kyo bellowed but never the less he let Haru hug HIS Sierra.

Haru wrapped his arms tenderly around the confused Sierra "You're hot." he complimented.

Sierra went beat red "Um... no...really...I'm not...I'm just an ordinary girl...nothing special about me." she excused flailing her arms as best she could in Haru's strong hold.

"Well if normal girls looked like you... the world would be a happier place." Haru continued... unusually talkitive around Sierra.

"YOU BASTARD, Stop harrassing her!" Kyo yelled

"I'm not harassing her...she the one hot girl out of our family that I can hug...why would I harrass her?" Haru pointed out.

Sierra looked at Haru & then at Momiji curled up beside her.

"Kyo-kun?" a soft voice chimed in. "Who is that girl?"

Kyo whirled around to find Tohru standing there. "Oh hey Tohru... Meeta Sierra Mclaren... Sierra meet Torhu Honda." he introduced

The girls looked at eachother for a moment... then they both smiled

"Nice to meet you!" Tohru exclaimed running up & hugging Sierra

Sierra smiled wider "And you too!"

"Best friends!" They both shouted giggling.

Sierra was excited & out of reflex she grabbed Kyo & Hugged him hard... Everything went silent.

A minute later Shigure & Hatori walked in... freezing at the sight.

Sierra noticed the silence coming from everyone except Momiji.

"Alright!" He exclaimed "Isn't it great HAAA-TOOO-RIiIII?" he exclaimed.

"How come she can hug him?" Tohru questioned.

"Oh my." Shigure stated then beamed "MY TURN NEXT!"

"You sick perve!" Kyo retorted.

Kyo was boiling mad but Sierra put a hand on his arm to calm him.

"Okay I want to know what's going on & I want to know NOW." Sierra stated seriously.

"I'll call Akito." Hattori stated & the tension grew.
