Yunkyon-chan: So happy that most are enjoying this story! My friends at school are enjoying the story as well! Please continue to review, I read every single review; and some criticism is welcome!
Yuki: Bad idea…Some can be so cruel…
Yunkyon-chan: Hey! I'm an artist, and I get criticism all the time! So I can handle some useful criticism for my story!
Yuki: Sighs I warned you…don't come crying to me when you receive some bad reviews.
Yunkyon-chan: Whatever. Read and Review! Oh Yeah! Don't own Furuba characters but I own the plot, Leina, and Kathy! Enjoy!
Chapter 3- New member of the family
"So, Yuki…You're from another world?" Kathy replied rubbing her chin after hearing his story.
"Yes, and I hope you won't kick me out! But, I'll leave if you want me to…" He replied softly walking towards the side door. Kathy smiles…
"No, you can stay, as long as you follow my rules." She replied sweetly. Leina smiles, she knew her mother wasn't that cruel. Mom, I'm so glad Yuki gets to stay! To send such a handsome, tall, lean, and-WHAT! What I'm I thinking! Boys may be cute and all, but are nothing but stuck up jerks! There all the same! Stupid Josh! He breaks up with me, expecting to heal overnight! Cause he was with another girl, THREE DAYS LATER! Leina calm down! That's ancient history! Focus on the present, not the past! She walks out of the room, heading upstairs. She opens and closes her bedroom door; sliding down, back against the door. She pulls her legs to her chest, crying softly. I don't want to be hurt again…My heart won't heal a second time…
Yuki sees Leina leave, but doesn't follow. He needed to know the house rules… "You're not allowed in Leina or my room; and just be yourself…" Kathy smiled sweetly.
"Thank you, for your kindness." He replied softly slightly bowing. She grins, Yuki wasn't bad for his age…She too saw Leina leave, and decided to check on her. She walked out of Yuki's room, heading for her daughter's room. She gently knocks on her door.
"Leina, what's wrong? Can I come in?" Kathy replied softly.
"Yeah, just a sec…" Leina replied wiping her tears away.
Yuki sighs, throwing another shirt on his bed…Leina was right…all these clothes were too big! I guess I'll take her offer then…I wonder why she left all of a sudden…Did I say, or do something to offend her! She is pretty cute; when she's not mad…He shakes his head. What I'm thinking! I just met her, damn it! Besides, she probably doesn't like me, that way! He starts to put the clothes away, when a photograph caught his attention. He picks it up, looking at it. Five people are in the photo; a man, woman, two boys and a little girl. Huh, I can tell the woman is Miss, Smith; and the little girl is Leina…Is that her father and two brothers! They must be…Leina has a little of both her parents and some of her brother's features…I'll ask about this later…He places on the dresser. He heard someone crying, he walks up the staircase, and then hides.
Kathy was closing Leina's door, going into her own, wiping her eyes dry. He bit his lip, he wasn't allowed to enter Leina's room, but…He wanted to know what was wrong, with the little flower. He took a deep breath, and slowly knocked on Leina's door.
"Who is it?" Leina muttered.
"Yuki…" He replied softly.
"What do you want?" She replied opening the door. She walks out of her room, closing the door behind her.
"You looked a little down, and I thought…I…I could help…" He replied shyly slightly smiling. She smiles, but looked away. She really didn't want to tell a stranger, her secrets…But for some strange reason, she wanted to be in his arms, feel the warmth of his body against her's, feel his strong arms hold her tight. To hear soothing words come from his lips, feel his hand comb through her long soft locks. Feel his cheek slightly leaning against her forehead, feel his lips brush feather kisses against her temple; she shakes her head. She tried love once…And didn't want to feel her heart ripped out, and shatter into a million pieces…again.
Yuki suddenly had the strongest urges to just take her in his arms. To hold her tight, soothe her with kind words, comb through her long silky dirty blonde locks. Lean against her forehead, place feather kisses along her temple…Why? Why do I feel a connection starting to form? Linking our hearts together… He shook the idea aside. "Um…I don't mean to pry, but could you tell me…what happen?" He replied softly; blush creeping up on his cheeks. She had second thoughts…
I don't care! He just wants me, to obtain something, or someone else…Well, that's not gonna happen! I won't fall for the same trick twice! She turns and looks Yuki in the eye…Anger, and mistrusting running deep in the hazel colored depths. He was wide-eyed, and backing up, as she step closer. She points her index finger at him. "L-L-L-Leina?" He stuttered scared of the glare, she was shooting at him.
"I don't know what you're trying to pull…but if you think I'll melt, at your smooth talk and good looks…well you're dead wrong. I'm smarter than you think!" She fumed turning around, opening and closing her door behind her. He stood dumbstruck…What was that all about! One minute, she was smiling; the next she was wearing an 'I'm-mad-as-hell' expression! I'll let her have her space, before confronting her again…He thought walking to his room. He ran his hands through his dark-metallic hair, sighing. He sees his school bag, and decides to look through it…
He found a mistreated letter. It was tan-brown, folded; ends all cut up…His name, written in blood-red ink…well might as well read it, nothing better to do at the moment…He flips it over, a wax sticker of the Chinese zodiac rat was sealing the letter close. He opens it and reads it…
Dear Yuki Sohma,
You are no longer cursed by the rat! Wishing for a normal teenage life…well it worked. Your curse however, has fallen on someone else's shoulders. Since you are in a new world, the person who you came in physical contact with first; they now have your curse, well part of it... For example, if this person was a female, you could hug her, and she stays human, instead of transforming into a nezumi…And you will soon meet the zodiac members of that world, one by one…Beware! Your 'god' will appear soon! Keep the new Chinese nezumi away from him…He will try to corrupt the nezumi first…Protect the nezumi and the others…They rest in your hands, protect them.
He shakes his head, and sighed…the nezumi is Leina, and she isn't exactly friendly with me…And meeting the others, one by one…
Yunkyon-chan: Yay! Chapter 3 is finally done!
Yuki: WHY! Why, must you torture me so?
Yunkyon-chan: Evil grin you're fun to mess with and I have nothing better to do…except write and draw!
