Tohru walked to school the next morning between Kyo and Lira and Yuki walked beside Lira. There was strong tension between them. Tohru looked at Lira who was look at the sky as if searching for something while Yuki and Kyo were looking straight ahead.

"Mom, I think everyone enjoyed meeting you yesterday and Lira and Kyo relationship seems to be getting better. That was the case until this morning. It seems that Yuki had spent the night with Lira and Kyo got mad at Lira and Yuki. He even called Lira a 'slut.' With that said Lira wouldn't even look at Kyo." Tohru thought as they arrived on school grounds. Lira stopped looking at the sky and looked at Kyo. The minute their eyes locked they both looked away.

"Hey! Tohru! Over here." They turned and saw Arisa Uotani and Saki Hanajima sitting on a bench nearby.

"Oh! Uo-chan! Hana-chan!" Tohru said running over to them and the other three followed. "How are you?"

"Fine and you?"

"I sense strong and negative waves coming from the three of you…" Hanajima said looking up from her book at the three behind Tohru.

"We just had a bad morning that's all Hana-chan." Lira replied tucking her hair behind her ear.

"Which reminds me, Lii-san there's something we want to show you." said Arisa rising to her feet.

"What is it?"

"We found something very interesting at your locker." Said Saki rising to her feet as well they lead the way into the school and everyone followed. They went to Lira's locker and Lira's jaw dropped.

"I'll have no place for my books!"

"Your mighty popular Lii-san!"

"Who stuffs a girls locker with flowers!" yelled Kyo. Lira's locker door was open and inside was dozen of bouquets, stuffed animals and cards addressed to 'Princess Lira'. Lira went over to her locker and threw everything out as she threw a box of candy outit hit Kyo in the head and landed in Hanajima-san's hands"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!"

"I'm looking."

"For what?" Yuki said leaning over her shoulder.

"Hey, Arisa and Saki. You wouldn't mind stealing Tohru this morning from us would you?" Lira asked now throwing beautiful bouquets onto the ground.

"Not at all! Come on Tohru."

"W-wait I"

"It's alright Miss. Honda we'll stay with Lira." Tohru nodded and left talking to Arisa and Saki. "What could you possibly be looking for?"

"I was looking for this…" Lira took out a photo and Kyo and Yuki saw themselves when they about 7 or 8 and Lira had her arms around both their necks smiling happily her feet barley touching the ground. "I'm so glad they didn't damage it."

"I forgotten how short you were." Kyo said looking at the picture more closley

"She still that short you stupid cat."

"Shut up! It's not my fault if"

"No please let's not argue you again." Lira said holding the picture close to her "I-I hated how we argued this morning. I wanted to show you this picture because…well look!" she showed it again "in my hair you guys put cherry blossoms in my hair. That's my favorite flower…"

"So what's the point?"

"The point Kyo is that all the flowers the boys put in my locker could never compare to the flower I keep with me. No two cherry blossoms look alike. We have our differences but don't let that tear us apart okay? I don't want that to tear us apart."

"I'm sorry," Yuki said taking her hand. "If I made you think that something so stupid would break out friendship Lira." He smiledand so did she"Nothing can break the friendship we have."

"Yeah…me too. I believe our friendship will last forever...so don't get all emotinal andstart crying okay?"

"O-okay" Lira said tears welling up in her eyes.

"I TOLD YOU NOT TO CRY!"

"I CAN'T HELP IT!"

"Don't pick on her you stupid cat. You know how emotional Lira is."

"I'm not emotional!"

"Seems like they're doing better." Arisa said watching the three argue from far away with Tohru and Saki.

"Lira seems to have an effect on them…like Tohru." Saki said eating the choclate she got

"Yes, sometimes I even believe that Lira is older than me." tohru said happily

"Really? But she shorter than you."

"Yes but that's not what counts."

"Oh I see what Tohru means…like Tohru she doesn't take things for granted…in a way they are similar in a way they are different." said Saki finishing her chocolate

"I'm glad to have a friend like Lira mom." Tohru thought looking at Lira chase after Kyo for her photo. "It's weird…I only known her for a while but…the more I stay in the same house with her…the more I want to get to know her because in a way she reminds me of myself. And I think were going to become the best of friends…"
