IS:

"No, I'm sorry but you just don't have enough tickets for that," Kaye muttered again and again to a rather hysterical child. It was a few hours after she had arrived at the arcade and it was indeed getting late. She longed to go home and have dinner after such a long day.

As the kid continued to wail she put her head in her hand and gave a small groan, willing his mother to deal with him, but the woman was slightly hysterical herself trying to deal with three other children she was accompanied by. "Miss," Kaye called to her and the woman looked up, disgruntled. "Would you mind explaining to your son that he doesn't have enough tickets for this little train here?"

The woman gave Kaye a look as though she had lost it. She glanced down at the sniffling boy a picked up a sniffling girl who was calling for her. "That's not my son," she said, shaking her head slightly. Kaye blanched and looked around. The place had pretty much thinned out and there were only two people left to serve, and both were males. The woman and her children walked away and the boy was still sitting there, crying.

"There you are, I'm here, it's okay!" came a chipper voice from behind the boy. Kaye looked up to see Tohru, Kisa and Hiro, the girl who represented the Tiger in the zodiac and the boy who represented the sheep. Tohru knelt down before the boy who hugged her around the neck and she quietly soothed him. Kaye quickly dealt with the remaining two customers and asked one of her fellow employees to lock up for her.

Walking out of the now shadowy arcade Kaye hopped on her bike and slowly moved it along to match the gait of Tohru and the others rather then peddling ahead. Kisa held the hand of the boy who had cheered up quite a bit, his other hand in Tohru's. "Kisa, it's been such a long time! How are you? How's school?"

Kisa gave a little smile. "Oh, it's alright." Kaye returned her smile.

"And you Hiro, been staying out of trouble?" she asked with a smirk as she stepped along.

Hiro turned up his nose. "What, you think just because you left for a million years you can show up all the sudden acting as though you still know me? I haven't seen you in years, how do you know I haven't changed? Do you go around making assumptions about everybody because that's-"

Kaye reached over and wrapped an arm around Hiro's shoulders. "Yep, still the same old Hiro." Hiro smirked at her. Tohru smiled.

"Now," she said, gesturing to the boy who stood between the other two girls. "I've yet to meet this one."

"Actually, I just met him as well," Kisa said in her small voice, now directing her smile to the boy, swinging her arm slightly and making him giggle wildly. He couldn't have been more than four, maybe even three.

"This is Hana's little brother, Seito," Tohru explained, but she doubled back, "Or, this is one of them. She has a rather large family."

"What's he doing here, then?"

"Oh, well, Hana was with him, but she had to run home quickly and Seito didn't want to leave, so I offered to take him around for a while more since I was still here with Kisa and Hiro."

Kaye's stomach growled. "But, who's at home making dinner?"

Tohru gave a little laugh. "I prepared everything before we left, don't worry about it." Kaye gave a sigh of relief and all was silent.

Then, Seito began to hum something that sounded oddly like 'Jingle Bells'. Kaye began to hum with him before she really knew what she was doing.

"What is up with this kid? Christmas isn't until, like, a million years," Hiro muttered.

"You and a million years are good friends aren't you Hiro?" Kaye asked sarcastically and he shoved her bike. She tapped him in the back of the head.

Tohru looked down at Seito fondly. "Oh Hiro, he's still a baby. He doesn't know what he's doing." She shook the boy's arm slightly to get his attention. "Hey, what are you singing?"

Seito gave a big smile and began to sing in his adorable little voice, "Ho ho bells, Ho ho bells…" No one heard the rest of it. Everyone laughed and sang along the whole way home, oblivious to the heat of the late September evening.

After dropping Kisa and Hiro off at Sohma house and bringing Seito back home Kaye and Tohru went back to Shigure's. They walked in to a house of miserable, hungry faces. Tohru hurried into the kitchen to heat up the food she'd prepared and Kaye went to her room to change.

She was glad Tohru had still found time to make dinner. She'd need a good meal to get her through the next day. Her blood boiled all over again as she remembered the fury Kira had brought her and the annoyance Axle spread wherever he was. She knew she'd go to bed angry now and moped her way down the stairs.

KS:

When she reached the table, she slumped down, landing hard on a pillow. Sighing, she picked up her chopsticks and began to eat. She hardly ate anything, and when it was over, rather than doing her homework, she watched TV.

Tohru was worried and often checked on the girl, who was curled up in a ball watching Comedy Central. Later, Kyo and Yuki came to sit with her, but she didn't move, or do anything to show her knowledge of the boys being there. Kaye continued watching Comedy Central, wanting to laugh outright at the jokes and watch as the others snickered or blushed at the more adult ones.

At somewhere around ten o'clock, the two boys decided it was time to go to sleep, and were about to tell Kaye the same thing, when they noticed her eyes were closed and she was already doing as they had been thinking of doing themselves. Not wanting to disturb her, Yuki left for the upstairs. Kyo hesitated in picked her up and taking her to her room, but the peaceful look she had was too much, and he left her be on the couch.

A while later, Shigure came into the room to turn off the TV, and low and behold, there was Kaye on the couch still. He sat down beside her a minute, brushing the strands of hair away from her cold face. Her face was cold, and her expression matched the lack of warmth. Shigure sighed, thinking on what might have caused such a hating look. The anger in her face seemingly ceased, and she looked peaceful again.

Shigure smiled and stood up. He turned around and leaned down to pick up Kaye, holding her in his arms like Kyo had done before, and walked her upstairs to her room. The peaceful look remained the entire way, but Shigure found it unbelieving as he walked up the stairs with ease, for it felt like he was literally carrying a feather. He sighed as he put her on her bed, pulling the cover up over the PJ's she had put on before she went downstairs to watch TV.

He walked towards her door, his fingers tracing the light switch and he whispered, "Good night, Rakki-Neko." And he shut off her lights, closing the door swiftly behind him.

Kaye woke up the next morning, her eyes opening to the slightly ajar door and the feeling that she had been moved from her original sleeping position. After looking around she realized her location and also that she had, indeed, moved, from couch to bedroom, and wondered curiously on the matter a while. She shook her head and sat up straight, swinging her legs out of bed.

She stretched and walked over to get the boys uniform out of her closet. She changed into the uniform and put her hair into two messy buns, tying black ribbons in them. The ribbons had little skulls hanging from the ends of them.

Kaye walked downstairs, skipping every other step and skipping gaily into the kitchen, where the others all awaited her. "Good morning, Rakki-Neko!" Shigure greeted, smiling secretively.

Kaye stopped mid-step and turned threateningly towards the dog, of whom, was cowering behind Kyo. "What was that you said, my dear Inu?" Kaye feigned innocence, the eyes of a murderer piercing through Shigure's own. He laughed nervously and begged forgiveness.

"Rakki-Neko? Lucky Cat?" Tohru questioned Shigure's nickname for the murderous girl.

Kyo nodded and added quickly, "All of them call her that- Hatori, Shigure and even the rat's brain dead brother."

Tohru smiled and said, "You mean Ayame!" Yuki and Kyo cringed at the name.

Shigure nodded, fending off the rabid Kaye, "Yes, well, we all call her Rakki-Neko and Kyo Rakki-Kyo." Tohru nodded again, remembering that the last visit had included Kyo's nickname being used many times. Kaye finally gave up and sat down across from the dog, glaring while eating her toast.

The day had started off somewhat as normal as ever, and Kaye seemingly enjoyed picking on Shigure. Finally the four had to start off for another day at school, something Kaye hated more than anything. Especially with those two new morons in school. She growled, thinking of the two rich-ass snobs.

Kyo backed away. He had been watching Kaye's angry temper and was about to talk to her when she started to growl. He looked at her strangely and thought on the two new kids. One of who was in his classes and had no choice but to deal with, the other Kaye had to handle. That rich-ass kid was screwed. He smirked and realized that Kaye must've been thinking the same thing.

The four continued to walk towards the school, taking in the serene scenery, and the strange growling sounds coming from Kaye's direction. Tohru ventured a guess and timidly asked Kaye if she had eaten enough breakfast. Kaye's growl softened a minute, and she shook her head at the worrisome girl, walking on with her tunes in hand.

"Let's talk this over

It's not like we're dead

Was it something I did

Was it something you said.

Don't leave me hangin'

In a city so dead

Held up so high

On such a breakable thread"

Avril Lavigne's song , Happy Ending, had been stuck in her head for a while, and listening to it would hopefully clear out her thoughts.

"You were all the things I thought I knew

And I thought we could be

You were everything, everything that I wanted

We were meant to be, supposed to be

But we lost it

All the memories so close to me

Just fade away

All this time you were pretending

So much for my happy ending"

Kaye listened intently to the song, even singing along every once in a while. She smiled, finally content. Or as content as one could be with a bunch of rich-ass kids watching your every move.

She sighed and turned off her player so as to save the batteries for History class. Of course, the worst possible thing ever happened as soon as she did so.

"Hey! HEY! I'm talkin' to you, you low life little dirt sucker!" shouted a shrill voice, causing Kaye's ears to nearly bleed.

"KAMI!" Kaye said, and shouted to the snobs that had just… graced her thoughts. "Hey, scream a little louder, I DON'T THINK THEY HEARD YOU IN FRICKIN AMERICA!" Kaye returned, blowing everyone who was in her path away.

"And now we see why Kaye was in a rock band. Exhibit A, SHE'S AS LOUD AS HELL!" Kyo said to the now startled girl.

"LIKE YOUR ONE TO TALK!" She shouted back.

The squabble was quick, but disturbingly loud, not to mention but a certain pissed off snob was waiting for her turn to insult the brown haired Sohma.

IS:

To make matters worse Axle popped out of no where, something he was rather good at by now, and added to the screaming. Yuki shook his head and began walking away, leaving Tohru to try and calm brother and sister vs. brother and sister.

Tohru stood on the side lines trying to soothe the others over their shouts but not prevailing in the least. She felt so helpless, and she hated fighting. She sighed, unable to take it anymore, and followed Yuki through the gates of their high school.

Axle ran his fingers through his hair and shook his head, watching as his sister and that Kaye Sohma got at it again. The high-strung one, Kyo, was trying to drag Kaye away but at the same time trying to make Kira back off. What a mess. He'd been trying to get Kira to back off, but now the urge to be a hero had vanished. Tohru was gone.

He looked around for her, squinting now to see, and spotted her walking into the school with the 'student body president'. Axle's eyes flashed as Yuki's hand brushed hers even if momentarily, his sense of sight acute with jealousy and desire. He hurried to catch up with them.

"Running away from a challenge! You are such a pansy!" Kyo shouted after him.

Axle hadn't remembered being challenged and had turned a deaf ear to the boy ever since he realized how protective of Tohru he was. "You do that," he shouted back lamely, not really having a hold on the situation; his eyes were focused on Tohru, and that Yuki. Damn that Yuki.

"You watch your step or I'll roll your ass down town to the ghettos where you won't know WHAT to do with yourself," Kaye threatened with her eyes narrowed to an extreme point.

Kira took a step back awkwardly, as though shocked. "Well I NEVER," she gasped, turning her nose up to the idea. "How do you hold your head up in public with such uneducated ideas in your head? HONESTLY!" Kira did something then that annoyed Kaye beyond sense; she flipped her hair back just so it would fall funny and she'd have a reason to touch it. Her eye twitched.

"Uneducated?" Kaye half-laughed, clenching and unclenching her fists. Fine. If this was the new topic of argument then so be it. "Just a question Miss Kira, but how long did it take you to complete the entrance exam?"

Kira stuck her nose in the air rather proudly. "Not like it's any of your business, but it took me exactly 30 minutes." Kaye snorted and burst into laughter. You know, the funny ha-ha kind, not funny queer. The average time for someone entering their grade was around five minutes less than that.

Kaye stuck her face right into Kira's and bragged, "Ten."

Kira narrowed her eyes with an intention to retaliate but was drowned out by the sound of the school bells chiming. Kaye turned back to glare at the Soc, praying some Greasers would come take care of her, but, "Now you've made me late, so I'll warn you now. If you don't get over how hilarious your name is, so be it, but if you don't get the hell outta my way I'll make sure that the damage I cause will be way more money than you have ever seen in plastic surgery."

She stomped away into the school, slamming the door behind her. There was a thud as she was stalking down the hall and she snickered, but she didn't look back.

Kaye supposed the school day itself was neutral, or so she felt that way. After telling Kira off all she received were a few glares from her in the classroom, to which Kaye merely rolled her eyes.

In gym class they had started dodge ball, a game Kaye had found was always a good time. However, when she was the last one on her team's side, so was Kira. Both held up the balls threateningly, preparing to strike, but Kira threw first. Kaye just got away, and threw the ball as hard as she could at Kira before she could back away. SHHHHMACK! The ball hit her hard just below the hemline of her short shorts, leaving a red souvenir on the side of her thigh.

Kaye punched a fist into the air and ran into the locker rooms to go change. She heard Kira wailing about how that stupid game had ruined her manicure but caught a glance at her fingering the red mark on her leg and glaring while her friends sympathized.

Kitsune: HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

Kyo: mumble

Ivy: YAAAAAAAAAAY!
