Introduction: Tyikii and Tsuki: Tigers of Ying and Yang
"Isn't this exciting? And all of the first year's are just so cute! " exclaimed Tohru in her usual ecstatic voice. "I wish you could have seen them in the entrance ceremony, you two really should have come."
"What ever," said Uo and Kyo at the same time. "I shouldn't be here at all. I don't know what I'm allergic to more: all the damn pollen in the air or this place,"said Uo. "So where's the Prince today?"she asked.
"Oh, he's been busy helping out with the orientation comity," answered Tohru.
"Ugh, it must be rough".
"Seeing as he has to deal with all of the first year girls lovey-dovey attacks," said Hanna.
"As popular as he is, he's a shoe-in for student council president this year," said Uo.
"Although I don't think Yuki would want all that attention!" Tohru smiled.
"That reminds me: at the ceremony I though I sensed Shigure's electric signals coming from the parent's section."
"Oh, uh-huh, he came today! Actually there are two more Sohma's enrolling with all of the other first years, he wanted to see them," explained Tohru. What a fool, he probably only came to see the other high school girls . .
"Hmm, so there are more Sohma's stating this year, huh?" asked Uo.
"Uh-huh!" replied Tohru bowing her head.
"Well tell us about them, are they boys, girls?" asked Uo again.
"Oh, there are two more boys."
"You don't say? We've gotta meet em," demanded Uo stroking her chin
"I agree, after all, as upperclassmen I'm sure there are many thing we can teach them," stated Hanna.
"Yea, and I could show em' all the best places where to go skip outta class," said Uo. "Yo carrot-top, go get em," she demanded pointing to Kyo.
"Yes, that's good, go get them," demanded Hanna also.
"Why do I gotta do it? Make her go and find them!" yelled Kyo pointing to Tohru. Hanna began to get upset. She placed her hand on Kyo's shoulder. Kyo looked down at her hand; he knew he was in for it.
"And what kind of friends would we be if we did that? It would be a terrible crime to make Tohru go to all that trouble," she said gazing at Kyo with her famous 'physic glare'.
"But what about me? exclaimed Kyo.
"Oh you? That's fine!" said Uo plainly.
"Um, you know I was already thinking I'd like to say hello to everyone so I don't mind going! Not at all, really! But Kyo, if your going too, maybe we could look for them together!"
"Oh please, I see way too much of those guys as it is!" exclaimed Kyo brushing off his shoulder.
"But meeting them at school would be a whole new experience! It could be alotta fun!" taunted Tohru. Kyo's face grew red, he knew he had no choice. Tohru had him wrapped around her fingers, one bye one. "Be back soon!" yelled Tohru ecstatically.
Kyo and Tohru were walking down one of the school hallways; Kyo was walking behind Tohru, so he was basically following her. Kyo thought that it was taking far too long to find Momiji and Hatsuharu's class. "So what class are Momiji and Hatsuharu in anyway?"
Tohru stopped in her tracks, her body completely frozen. She turned around with a blank look on her face and her mouth wide open. She prepared herself for Kyo's dramatic scolding
"You don't even know!" he yelled with his shoulders arched and hands in fists.
Tohru turned to him and began begging for forgiveness. "I'm sorry, I guess I wasn't thinking!" she apologized bowing her head many times. Kyo sighed and tried to release some of the stress from Tohru's utter stupidity. "Ok, just wait here, I'll go ask," he said.
He walked up casually to some first year girls in front of a classroom, while Tohru stood at the spot with a completely spaced out look on her face. The two girls were happily chatting to each other, until Kyo decided to interrupt.
"Hey, you know a couple of guys named Sohma, one with white hair the other with blonde?" he said rudely.
"Uh. . . yes! They're in our. . class!" giggled one of the girls.
"Go get em', will ya?" demanded Kyo extremely rudely. "Ok!" they both said in a high, excited voice. "Hell, why didn't she ask before we went wandering around the whole damn school?" he asked to himself aloud.
"Hey man check it out," said a boy's voice from afar.
"Hmm?" said Kyo with his ears twitching.
"That girl's pretty cute, huh?" asked one.
"Yea, I guess so, but she kinda looks like an air-head," the other boy replied.
"Yea, just my type. I bet I can talk her into going out with me."
"I don't do so hot with smart girls," stated one of the boys in a shaky, embarrassed voice.
"You have a point there – but what are you waiting for? Go over there and work your magic!" encouraged the other boy.
"Watch-and-learn man," said the other boy casually. He began to walk over but before he had a chance to make his move Kyo stepped in the way. He slammed his fist over Tohru's head with the other hand in his pocket. He stared at Tohru with sparkling eyes, and the glared over at the two boys beyond him.
"Huh?" they both stuttered in high, shaky voices. Tohru stood there in shock, as if she was glued to the wall. She was extremely confused
"On second thought, never mind!"
Kyo slapped Tohru on the head, and she broke out of her in-consciousness. "See what happens when you stand there like a space cadet?" he inquired casually.
"Oh, uh, was I?" she asked in her usual, shaky voice.
Kyo's face changed from hard and stern to soft and loose. "Uh, at least stay alert when your by yourself, or its gonna be your own damn fault when someone kidnaps you," explained Kyo calmly.
"Your right!" stated Tohru sternly she straightened up and became alert.
"I said when your alone."
"Right," Tohru replied still in her alert stage.
"You don't have to worry about it when you with me; you can space out as much as you want," he said softly. Tohru sighed and spaced out yet again. Kyo's soft expression went stern. "And I didn't mean anything funny by that either! I was just sayin', s-so don't get the wrong idea!" he yelled offensively Tohru turned gracefully towards Kyo in surprise.
"I – what do you mean?" she asked. Kyo and Tohru were making direct eye contact. Kyo raised his eyebrows in surprise. What the hell am I saying? I sound like a total idiot!
"Uh, Momiji!" exclaimed Tohru happily.
"Tohru!" yelled Momiji in a cheerful voice as he ran towards her.
Kyo's expression went completely blank. "Hi there!" Tohru greeted. Momiji ran happily toward Tohru, his arms open wide ready to give her a hug. As he drew closer to Tohru, Kyo smashed Momiji into the floor simply but striking his head.
"What are you, stupid?" he yelled to Momiji.
"Waaaah! Kyo's hitting me!" complained Momiji as tears cascaded down his cheeks. Tohru turned back and forth trying to calm Kyo whom was yelling at poor, innocent Momiji.
"Idiot! What the hell are you doing wearing a girl's uniform?" yelled Kyo in freight.
"Good morning," said a familiar voice.
"Oh, Hatsuharu!" greeted Tohru happily. Hatsuharu walked over casually to Tohru, kyo and Momiji (who's crying at the moment).
"Well at least you're not wearing a girl's uniform too," yelled Kyo.
"It's ok, isn't it? It suits him," said Hatsuharu plainly. Momiji's crying then ceased.
"Yeah, that's right!" he replied happily.
"Hmmhmm!" agreed Tohru. "It looks good on you!"
"What difference does that make?" exclaimed Kyo angrily. All of the sudden, Yuki was walking down the hallway.
"Ugh, Momiji, what in the world are you wearing?" asked in surprise.
"Yuki!" he exclaimed happily.
"Hey you two! Give those back!" yelled an upper class boy from then end of the hallway strip.
"Huh?" they all said.
"Yeah, you two! Give em' back! Stupid bitches..."
"Who are they?" inquired Kyo.
"I have no clue, but they don't seem nice," answered Hatsuharu.
"Who the hell are you callin' a bitch?" yelled the shorter girl. She was short, skinny, light-skinned and she had long red hair that reached the floor. She was seemingly normal but her eyes were gold like a cats and she wore jeans under the girls uniform, she also wore a tie. "Apparently you don't know who your talkin' to," she growled.
The boy backed off of the littler girl and then thought that he could take the bigger one on easily. "Hey you!" he yelled. "It wasn't her who took my candy, it was you! Now give it back!"
The other girl was very tall, with long black-purplish hair in extremely small dreads. Her eyes were a dark chestnut color and her skin was a dark tan color, and oddly enough, she was wearing a boys uniform! She was also abnormally laid back, and she had a red sucker in her mouth. Her eyes we're the same colour as the other girls.
"What do you want?" she asked in a muffled voice.
"I want my candy back!" he answered.
"You just don't get it, do you? You don't steal from a thief, it's not done like that. I warned you not to try, but you went against my warning, so it's your problem now, not mine. Go tell a teacher or something" she growled in a mocking-like voice.
The boy got angry threw punch at her. She easily countered his punch, grabbed his arm, pulled it behind his back and pinned him against the wall. Her face grew hard and evil, and her eyes sharpened. "I told you back off, stupid-ass!" she yelled furiously. "Your not getting it back, so you can leave right now, and I might not kick your ass!" the boy sighed in pain and didn't even struggle.
He kept still on the wall; hoping he'd live to see another day. She loosened her grip and let him go. He turned around and both of the girls were giving him a cold stare.
"Boo," said the red-haired girl plainly.
"AHHHHHHHH!" yelled in fright. The boy ran down the hallway crying madly. The two girls looked at each other and then began laughing ferociously.
"Oh my god! That was hilarious!" laughed the red-haired girl as tears ran down her face. The other girl was laughing too hard to answer.
"You aren't by any chance Tyikii and Tsuki, are you?" asked Yuki
"Tyikii and Tsuki? That sounds so familiar. . ." thought Hatsuharu aloud.
"Yea, why?" asked the red-haired girl.
"Well, I assumed that because of your personalities; I heard that a KuroKawa Hasura was here, and a one nick-named NirroKe Panku by the other students."
"Well then, I didn't know we were so famous!" said Tsuki happily in scoff-like voice.
"Well, to my rep., the name KuroKawa Hasura is a good thing, especially where I come from," explained Tyikii calmly.
"T-tyikii?" exclaimed Hatsuharu. "B-but, Akito told us you died of ammonia and Tsuki was hit by a car, so, he was lying?"
Hatsuharu's head slumped and his ears perked up. "That bastard lied," said Tyikii randomly. "We are considered outsiders, abandoned by the other animals. You see, when the banquet began, the tiger was one of the lucky animals who were invited. Little did the others know, the tiger had two cousins known as Yin and Yang: the tigers of black and white, who were also invited to the banquet. The tiger was very happy to go to the banquet with her cousins, so when they left, the great Jade Emperor saw them. He announced aloud that the tigers of Yin and Yang were too "odd" for his standards and barred them from going to the banquet. The ox however, was a good friend to the black tiger , and wanted her to come also, but both of them refused and as the other animals feasted happily, the two tigers of Yin and Yang were left out, sadly posted on a hill top watching them all eat," explained Tyikii.
"Yeah, well, you make it sound so sad," stated Tsuki.
"Well, do you want me to make it sound happy?" growled Tyikii.
"Well if it will make it more fun. . ."
Tsuki stuffed her hands in her pockets and stood at a strut stance while Tyikii pulled a sucker out of her shirt from the v-neck and stuffed it in her mouth.
"Things happen, no matter what the hell we plan on doing about it," said Tyikii plainly.
"So what, it's a sad story, I don't plan on complaining about it, so let's just drop ok?"
"I don't care," growled Tsuki. She turned around her and put her headphones.
"Well, at least we have that out of the way now," snapped Kyo.
"Shaddup you stupid cat," snapped Tyikii.
"What did you just say? Don't tell me to shut up you dirty bitch!" squawked Kyo.
"Listen! Family or not, don't act like you know us, cause' you don't!"
"Stop it Kyo," announced Hatsuharu. "Are you blind to see who they are?"
"Huh?"
"Do you remember, when we were younger living at the Main House. . . the two girls who were there everyday? They were. . . them," explained Hatsuharu.
"Whaddaya mean Haru? Those two girls couldn't of been them!" exclaimed Kyo.
"It was them. We didn't even know their names, but Hatori told us their names were Yin and Yang, remember? It was them. They were our best friends, the ones we played with everyday."
"But Akito told us that Yin had died in a car accident and Yang died of ammonia!" exclaimed Kyo in a flustered voice.
"Yea, but we didn't. He made that up as a replacement for our 'disappearance'." interrupted Tsuki.
"He knew that we were 'different', and he feared us because he thought that we had the power to convince the rest of the family that we could overthrow him and break the shackles he has us chained in, he treats us like caged up animals; everything we do is limited," explained Tyikii. Everyone else who had been listening sighed. They were so confused. "I guess, that's just how we're meant to be treated though: like animals. So for now, I suppose we have to just take it."
Every stood quiet for a minute; they had realized that they were talking to Tsuki and Tyikii like they've known them for their whole lives. Yuki, Tohru and Momiji had flustered looks on their faces. Though they had been quiet for the whole time, they still themselves were trying to soak in the accusations of the two sisters.
Tohru, as usual, stood at the spot with a dull, innocent look on her face. "Well then Tsuki and Tyikii!" she said with a big smile. "We may not have known you for a while, but you are family, so you don't have to worry!"
Tsuki and Tyikii spaced out completely. Their expressions went from detailed to simple in the blink of an eye. The smile on Tohru's face had made them realize that they were family, though Tohru herself was not a part of the Sohma family, they had taken it as that.
"Thank you," said Tsuki and Tyikii in sync.
"Yes, you are both family. We had thought you were gone, but now that we know that you're not, we can finally be a family again and continue our lives," motioned Yuki.
"Yea, your family!" yelled Momiji in a high, squeaky voice.
"Then it's agreed: Tsuki Sohma and Tyikii Sohma, once again, now and forever, you are honorary members of the Sohma family, and the juunishi."
