The gang of three was now at school. "You saw a boy with a fire on his head?" Asked a surprised Uo-chan (after this I'm going to call her Arisa). Tohru nodded and said, "The weird part was that he was running away from the people that were trying to help him. Then when Kyo-kun was just about to grab him, he jumped onto the top of the movie theater in town!" "That's just weird." Said Arisa. "I wonder why he can jump so high?" Said Hana-chan (after this, I'm going to call her Saki) in her usual expressionless way. The teacher then walked in and everybody quieted down. "Ok class. We have a new student today. Will everyone please welcome Hetoni." Somebody about Yuki and Kyo's age walked into the classroom and was wearing a beanie. "Please tell us about yourself Hetoni." Said the teacher. "Well I don't like swimming, hate pools and the beach, I'm fast and like to run," he then looked and saw Yuki and Kyo and pointed, "And I absolutely hate you two." He then took an empty seat and class proceeded.
It was now lunch and Kyo was trying his best not to let his anger on the new kid, but he 'accidentally' put a dent in the dumpster, threw garbage can, and yelled at three innocent bystanders. Yuki was unusually calm about it. When they went to their usual eating spot, they were surprised to find Hetoni there. Kyo ran up to him and grabbed him by the shirt. "WHY DO YOU HATE ME!" Kyo then threw a punch straight for Hetoni's head. He quickly ducked and only his beanie was hit off. There was a look of terror on Hetoni's face when his beanie got hit off, and before he could grab it and quickly put it on, it was to late. "OH MY GOSH! I NEED GET YOU SOME WATER!" Shrieked a scared Tohru, quickly running away to get some water to help Hetoni. Kyo was surprised and said in shock, "Your that kid from yesterday!" He was indeed that kid from yesterday, for his hair looked like it was on fire. He quickly put his beanie on and said threateningly, "If you tell anyone about this, I swear I will kill you!"
He then felt ice-cold water being poured on to him. "I'M GOING TO KILL WHOEVER JUST DID THAT!" When he turned around, he saw the innocent Tohru, and was immediately calmed down. He then got up and left. The rest of the day was the same. It was now after school and the gang of three was walking home. Before they could make it to the school gates they heard the annoying sound of the leader of the Prince Yuki fan club shouting (hoping he would see her), "Yuki Sohma! You forgot your book at the library!" After she could say "Your welcome," after he said, "Thank you," a flash ran up to Yuki and pushed the leader out of the way. "You're a Sohma?" Asked the curious Hetoni. He just nodded politely, kind of creeped out from the sudden appearance.
"Wow! How lucky that our paths should cross so soon! You may not know this, but I just moved here and I need a place to stay. Hearing all the great stories about you, I was wondering if I could stay with you?" Before Yuki could even start to say no, Hetoni whispered into his ear, "Orders from you-know-who." Yuki then agreed that he could stay as long as he wants. Now as the gang of four, they walked home. "I'll have my revenge." Said the leader of the Prince Yuki fan club (after this I'm just going to call her The Leader), and then she ran home and started to work on her devious, evil, ingenious master plan.
Later that evening, Yuki and Shigure were talking about how they would let Hetoni live there. "Ok, so it's decided. Hetoni will sleep in the living room." With that said, everyone left the room. It was late at night and Hetoni was about to go to sleep, when he heard someone asked, "Why does Akito want you to live here?" He turned around and saw Yuki. "Your not even part of the Zodiac." Yuki added. Hetoni just answered, "Like I should know how Akito thinks. He just came to me one day and told me I had to live here." Yuki thought for any reason why he should live there. "Why would he let an outsider like you into a house like this?" Hetoni just smiled and said, "He thinks that the zodiac members should get together." With that said, Hetoni went to sleep. Yuki thought what he meant by that. All of the zodiac members were already known. There couldn't possibly be another member.
It was now morning, and Yuki was very tired from staying up all night thinking bout what Hetoni had said. Hetoni was eating toast at the table, reading the funnies in the paper. He was just finishing Garfield when he heard something moving up behind him. He moved to the right and saw a mighty fist crack the table in half. "I'll get you sooner or later." Said an angry Kyo. As Tohru entered the room, she was surprised to see that the table was smashed in half. Before she could ask what happened, she was hit in the head with a flying piece of wood. She then fell onto Hetoni. "OH NO!" Screamed a shocked Hetoni, but before he could react, there was a poof and red smoke. Kyo pulled Tohru off and was surprised at what he saw. Now, instead of a boy being there, there was a beautifully red colored bird there. The bird just sighed and said, "Guess the jig is up. I'm Hetoni, the Phoenix."
