"Oh my goodness! Someone call the ambulance!" yelled Makoto "The princess has been-ACK!"

Lira had hit Makoto on top of his head with her cane.

"President Makoto, I ask you not to make a scene. I assure you I'm fine." Lira said putting her cane to her side. "Besides it's just a broken leg."

"Oh no! Someone get Lira-sama a wheel chair!" yelled a second year.

"Too late, Lira it looks like a scene is starting up already." Said Haru putting his hands in his pockets, Lira sighed and hurried as fast as she coulddown the hall with Haru. "I liked your kimono yesterday. It showed me why Kyo has so much interest in you."

"That's not the only reason why Kyo loves me." Said Lira under her breath.

"I know that, but I wonder how your fan clubs going to react when they find out that you have"

"They won't find out!" said Lira whacking him in the leg with her cane "Kyo and I agreed not to do anything while were at school. It wouldn't look right if we did."

"That's good, but what about Kagura?" Lira looked the other way and Haru smirked "let me guess you forgot to tell her?"

"Well things have been so crazy lately it slipped my mind!" said Lira giving him a fake smile "well this is my classroom! See you later Hatsuharu!"

Lira stepped into the classroom and sat down next to Yuki

"Rough morning?" Yuki asked as she put her head on the desk.

"You have no idea." Lira replied

"OKAY! Settle down! Settle down!" said Sensei coming in and closing the door behind her. "I've graded your tests. Lira Sohma!"

"Uh yes Sensei? "

"You have at least three tests to take, you have until…let's say Saturday to make it up. You got that?" Sensei asked passingback the tests

"Yes I understand." Lira said looking back at Kyo who several seats behind her.

"Meet me at break" Kyo mouthed to her.

Lira nodded and turned back to the front as Sensei begun the lesson. When the bell rang Lira left the classroom to see Kyo already waiting for her.

"Ready to go?" he asked smiling at her. She nodded and he took her hand and led her up the nearest stairway that seemed to go on forever.

"Where are you taking me Kyo, break isn't that long you know." Lira said sounding exhausted

"Don't be such a wimp. Were almost there." he said smiling at her

"Kyo, I want to talk to you about something." Lira said

"What is it?" he asked sounding worried

"It's about Kagura." Kyo said nothing "Don't you think we should tell her? It's not like she won't find out."

"I don't care if she does find out. As long as she doesn't try to kill me for dating you." said Kyo

"You know I think Kagura would try to kill you even if you weren't with me, the pain is just a hundred times worst when you are."

"Yeah but your worth It." he said reaching the top and opening the door. "Come on weakling."

"Whom are you calling" Lira stopped talking when she walked onto the roof of the school "weakling…"

"What?" asked Kyo looking back at her

"Um nothing it's just…it's really nice up here." She said smiling

"What are you going on about now?" he asked. Lira just giggled and walked up to him "W-what are you doing?"

"I'm trying to kiss you." she said looking into his eyes.

"I won't allow it!" yelled a female girl "Lira Sohma you've gone to far!"

Lira turned around and saw Kagura standing there with Momiji and Tohru.

"We found her at the front gate She was looking for the two of you." said Tohru "and since Kyo likes roofs so much I thought you'd be here."

"Kagura, what are you doing here?" asked Lira

"Isn't obvious! To steal my precious beloved Kyo back. I let you have him once but not this time Lira! I want my turn!" she yelled

"It's not my fault he doesn't feel the same way about you…I did mean to tell you but I didn't know how…"

"Usually I let this pass because I know you have feelings for him but I can't this time Lira! So I challenge you to a fight!" yelled Kagura.

"Um I would accept except just one problem…my leg broken and my back is totaly scarred!" yelled Lira back at her

"Then there's only one thing to do!" Yelled Kagura "I must steal Kyo by force!" She ran towards Kyo and Lira tripped her. "Ow! Lira!"

"Sorry but until my wounds heal we will not be able to fight, but I promise we will when they do."

The bell rung and Lira headed towards the door but she stopped at the door. "Kagura." She turned back to look at her and gave her a small smile. "You always were the better woman." Then she left without another word.

"Where is Miss Sohma?" yelled Sensei when they all returned to class.

"We don't know Sensei, we didn't see her at break." Said one girl

"She must've been kidnapped! Someone call the police!" yelled a boy

"Sit down Tran! Or do you want me to give you another detention?" asked Sensei hitting her rule on the palm of her hand, she then sighed and said, "well I'll have to contact her"

"Sensei." Said Yuki suddenly "Lira's broken leg was causing her pain so we called her guardian and sent her home."

"Oh alright. Well let's start the lesson…"

Sensei's voice was drowning out of Yuki's head as he looked out the window and saw Lira slowly walking towards the gate.


"Lira, where are you going?" asked Yuki as he saw Lira get her stuff out of her locker.

"Oh Yuki, I just thought I'd go to the Sohma house." Said Lira putting her stuff in her backpack

"Why? Is it Akito?" he asked

"No." she said zipping up her backpack. "It's just…." She looked at him and smiled "I don't know what it is but something is telling me to go back. I'll be home for dinner."

Yuki suddenly pulled Lira into an embrace and Lira blushed slightly.

"Yuki, I"

"Be careful, I know that feeling and I'm glad your not going to ignore it like I almost did when Kyo changed." Said Yuki "Be back for dinner. The house won't be the same without you."

And Yuki did something he never did in a very long time. He gave Lira a kiss on the cheek then he let her go.

"Bye Yuki." Lira said leaving him at the locker


"Lira, whatever you're going to find at the Sohma house…I hope it's nothing that you can't handle." Yuki thought as he saw Lira turn around the corner and onto the street. At The Sohma House

"Hatori? Ayaa? Anyone?" Lira yelled out walking around the "inside" of the Sohma estate. "Where is everyone?"

She went onto the porch and walked around and saw Akito's door open.

"Akito?" Lira said out loud. "Akito are you-" There was a smear of blood on the floor, Flowers everywhere, and broken pieces of a vase. And in the middle of it was Akito. Lira's eyes widened in fear, she abandon her can and ran as fast as she could towards him and landed on her knees in front of him. He was unconscious; he had cuts his face and arms. His biggest wound was on his wrist. She tore of her sleeve and wrapped up the wound. She then put Akito onto her back and began limping towards Hatori's office.

She could feel pain down her back and leg and especially in her kneecaps but she ignored it and continued on. She got to Hatori's office to find Hatori sleeping at his desk.

"Hatori!" she yelled

Hatori woke up slowly and sat up

"Lira?" he asked groggily wiping his eyes.

"Hatori! Help me!" she screamed

Hatori's eyes widened and he leapt from his desk and helped lira put Akito on the nearest futon.

"I found him like this…I don't know what happened." she said looking Akito.

"Good thing you did…these wounds are serious…" he said, then he looked at her "your knees are cut badly."

"That's my fault…just take care of him first…" she said still looking at him "Now I know…what you meant Akito…today I've truly fallen for you…not as more than a friend…but as a friend…before I really didn't want to be involved with you. I just used you…but now…more than anything…I want to see you smile."
