Her eyes widened "Akito, Akito Sohma! He married my mom's friend Kana…." The boys looked at her like she was crazy. Uh… yeah, well uh… Tohru looks worried we best get back to her"

After Kiki left Yuki and Kyo talked about the possibilities.

"Can we trust her?" Yuki asked

"Well duh we can trust her, but what about Akito?"

"How come we didn't know?"

"Well they never tell us anything"

"SOHMA-KUN, KYO GET OVER HERE!" Kiki yelled impatiently

"OK, OK! HOLD YOUR HORSES!" Kyo yelled, both him and Yuki running. Homeroom passed and they continued their hours until lunch.

"KYYYOOOO!" Kagura yelled

"Where the Hell is she!"

"KYYYOOOO! Kagura screamed again beating Kyo like always. Then it stopped "Sorry Kyo-kun, this was your last beating for a long, long time.

"Thank God!" Kyo sighed thinking aloud.

"But why?" Yuki asked

"I loved watching you beat the hell out of him!" Ou laughed

"Hold on, why are you here anyway?" Kyo asked scowling at the Yankee.

"Akito-san told me to come to this school," Kagura answered beaming.

"Why again are you going to stop beating me? I mean I'm not complai-"

"What he means who's the guy?" Yuki grinned knowing that he was getting on the cat's nerves.

"No I don't, you damn rat" Kyo stood standing face to face with Yuki. This basically went on for the rest of the day, or at least until school ended. Kyo had to stay after school for bombing a huge test.

Tohru, Yuki, and Kiki were outside the school.

"Well I have to go to work. So I'll talk to you guys later, Ok?" Tohru said waving and walking away.

"Well I guess I'll see you later, I have a student council meeting" Kiki said to Yuki heading inside the school.

"So do I, so… we can walk together right?"

"Duh! Why not? You are the prince of this school, I can't upset other girls by rejecting your request" She smiled at him "but you're gonna have to keep up, I'm not waiting for some slow poke" Yuki smiled.

She's not as bad as people say she is. I can't believe that cat became friends with her, the anti-social freak.

"Are you coming or am I going alone?" Kiki rested on the doorframe, staring at he Prince trying to hold in a laugh.

I can see why all the girls like him. He's nice yeah, but he's extremely weird. I feel sorry for him, girls parading just cause they think he's the cutest.

"Now who's slow" Yuki asked running past Kiki. She smiled to herself and ran after him.

Kyo had just finished with his tutor and was about to go home.

"Hi Kyo" Kagura yelled, skipping towards Kyo, holding Momiji's hand. Brianna and Haru were together walking and talking. Kyo smirked

I would have never thought, Kagura and Momiji I mean she used to like me. Me and Momiji are totally different. But they are both energetic, and they both are annoying. I can see that. But Brianna and Haru. I wonder what he sees in her. She's really preppy and isn't Haru like never mind.

"Whaddya want?" Kyo asked turning around

"Kyo hold on" Kagura grabbed Kyo's collar. Kyo turned around.

"Look Kyo" Brianna hugged Haru turning him into an ox.

"You told her?" Kyo's voice was rising

"No, she like jumped on me, took me by surprise really" Haru smiled at Kyo's growing anger.

"But now Sohma's must take her to meet Akito"

Just as her sister's Brianna's eyes widened

"Akito, Akito Sohma, duh Bria how could you be so stupid Sohma, SOHMA!" Bria thought aloud sinking to the floor

"Are you okay" Haru bent over the girl on the floor

"I'm fine I just remembered something" she smiled "Akito Sohma married my mom's friend Kana"

"I knew that" Kyo frowned

"Me, Momiji and Haru didn't" Kagura answered

"Well I just found out today"

"From Nikore right?" Bria asked. Kyo looked confused "Kiki" Bria answered his silent question.

"Yeah, Well since she know and we can't do anything right now, we might as well pick up the other two" Kagura jumped pulling Momiji through the door. Haru followed.

Brianna stayed back to talk to Kyo " You know I always wanted to be the ox, because I heard how the ox helped the rat to the meeting with God, he was so helpful"

"Did you hear how the damn rat tricked the cat into not going"?

"Yes, why?"

"No reason" Kyo ran to catch up to the others.

"Hey wait for me!" Brianna yelled running "Which animal are you?"

"Kyo Sohma!" Bria yelled stopping in mid-step

"What the Hell do you want!" Kyo yelled still walking away from her

"Why won't you tell me what animal you are?" she asked him almost pleading

"Because you don't need to know"

Well Bria yelled and shouted and pouted but eventually ran to catch up with the rest of the group. She walked quietly with the group thinking about the redheaded, hot-tempered, stubborn as a mule boy. Wondering what made him like that and why he and Yuki and Haru never got along. She was left pondering this thought when she saw Yuki and Kiki talking over papers. She thought 'Oh great now she has another friend to ponder on business with. Brilliant!' But what Yuki and Kiki were really talking bout were the love letters Yuki got from all the pitiful girls in the school there was at least thirty from the head of Yuki's fan club. Kiki looked up.

"Hey guys" She said and put the papers into her bag "I didn't think you'd come to pick us up"

"Yeah me neither" Yuki smiled, not a forced smile, a genuine smile. "But you did, so I guess we'll be seeing you guys home" he said looking at Bria and Kiki

"No, no, no we couldn't let you guys do this" Bria laughed nervously "besides we live in a motel" she mumbled the last part

"YOU LIVE IN A WHAT!" Kyo exclaimed

"Huh?" Tohru and Haru looked back at him. Yuki seemed not to notice or thought he was being stupid again.

Kiki's skin reddened as she repeated what Bria said in a hushed voice "We live in a motel, the Satashi no-I"

"Why, where is your mom or dad or uncle or any family don't they work" Yuki asked interested "and even if they did why that motel? That's the sleaziest most dangerous motel in this city!"

Bria's eyes began to water as she tried to explain, "My mom was an only child her dad left when she was little and her mom died when I was born. We stayed in our house until I was old enough to walk and talk and wear proper clothes. Kiki did odd jobs around town for some extra money and mom decided that we should move here. I.." Bria stopped for a second to breathe deeply and keep herself from crying " I did odd jobs around town too to raise extra money, so mom went to the airport and booked us a few tickets to Japan and she assured us everything would be okay and that we'd leave in two weeks" Bria's eyes watered and she started sobbing into her skirt.

"It's alright Bria" Nikore soothed kneeling onto one knee, patting her sister on the back "just try to calm down we'll wait for you" She looked up at the others "Mom went to work two days before we were scheduled to leave to Japan and that day she didn't come home. We heard sirens in the distance so we went to see what it was hoping it wasn't our mom, but it was" Her voice quivered "It was horrible absolutely disgusting she was in front of one the largest buildings in Manchester, a gun in her hand and a bullet in her brain. We cried and walked home to find a note that mom wrote before we awoke that morning. It was one explaining her death." She became silent and bowed her head before telling them exactly what the letter said. "The letter said:

I'm sorry Nicole and I'm sorry Brianna I know right now you are probably to young to understand, but life right now has been horrible and I want you to have better so when you find my body don't cry, be strong. I want you to move to Japan with the tickets I bought and start a new life and try to find your father if only to say hi. I've left whatever money we have left upstairs in the third drawer in Bria's dresser. I want you to go to Japan and be happy go to school and be smart get a great job and good lives. I love you, Kame

She thought we didn't understand and we did. We understood and we were trying to help but she gave up to soon."

"I'm sorry" Yuki apologized

Kiki's head snapped up "What the hell are you apologizing for, you didn't make her kill herself you didn't give up on us at least not yet!"

"I'm apologizing for the story you told us because of me" Yuki looked her in the eye "I know what it's like to feel pain"

"Don't apologize for anything, We chose to tell you the story" She said strongly "We chose to let you into our life, believing you will help us, so don't apologize, it's gonna make me sick" She faked a barfing sound making everyone laugh and making herself smile.

"Well you can't live in that dump of a motel" Kyo said crossing his arms

"It's the cheapest thing, we're trying to make money stretch" She answered daring him to contradict.

"Well you're gonna have to live someplace else" he stared

"Maybe you could live with us" Yuki offered

"Yeah the Sohma's have many extra rooms in their house" Tohru said

"Yeah actually sensei does" Yuki said "Let's go"

Bria nodded, breathing finally slowing down "Yeah we'll take it but you have to let us do something for you guys. I'm a great cook and she rocks at cleaning" Bria said pointing towards Kiki.

Yuki looked back at the other making sure it was okay with them, of course Tohru nodded, Kyo seemed hesitant but agreed nonetheless.

"So if we can stay we need to go pack our bags." Bria said

"but we're not sure you can stay yet so you have to come to our house first" Kagura said

"Not your house dummy, Guri's house" Momiji laughed and Kagura smiled "right" she said "so hurry up lets go!"

Everyone including Kiki and Bria and Kyo ran after Kagura and Momiji all the way to Shigure's house.

"Shigure, SENSEI! Where are you? Are you here?" Kagura called stepping in the doorway

"We have visitors I see" Shigure smiled coming out of his office "You know Kagura you don have to yell"

Kagura huffed "Well I dunno I think you're a little thick-headed if you think I won't yell when I need to find somebody"

"Ah, so why exactly do you have to find me" he answered moving toward the group

"Uh…Yuki wants to say something" She pointed to Yuki moving out of the way

"Yeah thanks he said sarcastically" He took a breath "Shigure?"

"Yes?"

"We have two friends that need your help"

Shigure looked stunned, Yuki had always been a little distant from everyone but now he was asking for help and for friends.

"Are your friends here?" Shigure asked Yuki looking around

"Yeah I think they are outside" Yuki said pushing through the other people. E told Bria and Kiki to come in so he could introduce them to Shigure. They walked into the house behind Yuki kind of nervous

"Shigure these are our two new friends and they need a place to stay. This one is Bria" he said motioning to Brianna "and this one in Nikore" he said motioning to Kiki "they're sisters and their mom's dead" he said sympathetically. Kiki gave him a look "and their dad, their dad left them when they were small"

Kiki stepped forward to shake Shigure's hand " Can I just call you Shigure or do I have to do that formality stuff"

"just call me Shigure, thank you"

"Okay and Shigure"

"Yeah, never ever, ever call me Nikore or I will hurt you"

"So what do I call you"

"You call me Kiki"

"Kiki? Okay I'll call you that"

Brianna stepped forward and bowed "Thank you Shigure-san for seeing us today"

"why it's no problem, none at all" he smiled looking the girls up and down a couple of time he decided she looked better and was always more relaxed.

"so can we stay or not?" Kiki asked, "Because if we can I wanna get our stuff outta that motel fast"

He smiled again "why of course you can stay, but what will you offer us" He smiled more slyly and Kiki raised and eyebrow

"They just got here you can at least treat them as people for a little bit!" Kyo shouted and Bria was confused

"We'll take some load off of who ever cooks and cleans around here" Bria said looking at the spotless house. Shigure nodded appreciatively rubbing the area on his arm where Kyo had hit him.

"yeah Tohru could use some help she works herself too hard" Shigure said and Tohru flushed Shigure continued " yeah you girls can live here so umm….. Yuki, Kyo, Haru, Momiji go help them get their bags and whatever else they have from their motel and bring it in, they can use the room across from Tohru's and the one between Yuki's and Kyo's"

"Okay let's go get your stuff" Haru said holding him hand out to Bria, she took it and smiled at him "Yeah come on let's go!"
