Concealed

A wave of guilt plagued Hana since her run in with the Prince Yuki fan club. She had spoke poorly of Yuki Sohma at the time, it was masked under the guise of defending Tohru's honor, but she knew the words were deeper than that. By allowing herself to be selfish about Tohru she was acting just like those fan girls. She had learned something from their visit; she learned that those girls were the kind of people she didn't want to be.

Yuki Sohma was a kind person who didn't ask for the adulation of the all girls in the school. He smiled graciously but Hana could see that he would rather blend in. He had been nothing but kind and understanding of Tohru. Hana knew she would have to apologize not just for him but for herself. She had to let those feelings of jealousy go if she was going to move on. Plus she owed him that apology in the end. She found Yuki sitting in the class by himself. His aura was very interesting. There was something eating away at him and Hana could only hope he would resolve it before Tohru got hurt.

Yuki sat quietly absorbed in his schoolbook. They were studying Romeo and Juliet and he had fallen behind a couple of scenes. All the Student Council duties were a big distraction, he wondered if he had made the right decision by agreeing to become the next Student Council President. He quickly pushed those thoughts away to focus on the tale of the two tragic lovers. Shakespeare had woven such an intricate tale that somehow stood the test of time. Even though Romeo and Juliet were destined to die in this tale, he couldn't help but feel a little envious of them. They got to experience a physical kind of love that he himself may never be able to experience. Finding a woman who would accept his curse had seemed like a distant dream then Tohru had arrived. Yuki was no fool he knew that he couldn't predict the future, besides he wasn't precisely sure how he felt about Tohru. He did like her but could he really see himself being with her. He had been so engrossed in his own thoughts that he did not notice the presence of another.

"I'm sorry for speaking poorly of you."

Startled Yuki jumped out of his chair, his book tumbling to the floor beside Hana's feet. He could hear his heart pounding in his ears. Taking a deep breath, he looked over to her. Confusion filled his mind. She was speaking poorly of me?

"I know you don't cause her any trouble," she added.

Oh so this had to do with Tohru, but Hana had never shown any signs that she had disapproved of him. Then again Hana never really revealed too much about herself. She was always so stoic and creepy. A sort of smirk touched his lips. Tohru seem to be a magnet for weird friends. He watched as Hana picked his book up and held it toward him. Their eyes locked as he grabbed the book from her pale hand. For a moment their hands lightly touched. Hana was the first to break contact she smiled thoughtfully.

"You should be careful Sohma-kun. Today we are reading the kissing scene out loud. If you are picked to read Romeo's part your fan club girls will work themselves into a frenzy over who gets to read Juliet's part."

Yuki felt a real smile touch his face. That was so true those girls would fight. A sudden thought struck him. Hana would make a lovely Juliet and if she were chosen he doubted the fan club girls would be brave enough to protest. Hana vs. the fan club girls that would be interesting…interesting indeed.
