A/N: Okay, first off…I am sorry that it takes me so long to update, but I think a little extra time is better to bring forth a good chapter, rather than a quick update, where the chapter is rushed, and totally stinks. Second, I might add a few cameo appearances in coming chapters, like what I did in Part 2, with Tomoko Nomura. Just to make things interesting. Don't get me wrong, it isn't a crossover fanfic, or anything like that. At least not that I know of. If anyone wants this to be a crossover, just let me know. And Ayame will be dealing with typical school issues—like bullying, and stuff. But maybe later on in other chapters.

Part 3 – The New Transfer Student
Friday Morning
Shigure's House
Tohru just finished setting all the bowls down on the table, for breakfast. She smiled as she noticed Kyou had joined them. "Oh…Kyou-kun. Good morning!" She spoke, as she offered him the box of Puffy Puffs.
"What's so good about it?" Kyou growled, as he snatched the box from her and dumped a load of the cereal into his bowl, before slamming it back on the table. He put the last of the milk into the bowl, and noisily started eating.
"Is anything the matter?" Tohru asked, worriedly. "Oh, mind your own business!" Kyou hissed, spooning the cereal into his mouth faster. "I…I'm sorry!" Tohru apologized, blinking rapidly.
Kyou was about to take another mouthful of his cereal, when a fist connected with the back of his head, almost causing Kyou to choke on the spoon. "OW!" Kyou's fur bristled, and he looked up at the icy form of Yuki towering over him.
"You stupid cat. Can't you even watch what comes out of your stupid mouth, for one stupid second?" Yuki spoke, in his smug little tone of voice. "That's it!" Kyou shouted, and jumped up.
"You think you're just so cool! Prince Yuki, with his rabid fanclub! Bleh! Ya make me sick!" Kyou snarled, stomping his feet up and down in anger. "Kyou…" Yuki spoke, eyes narrowing.
"What?" Kyou replied, still ranting. "SHUT UP!" Yuki shouted, and before Kyou could blink, Yuki had punched him through a wall, and into the gardens out the backyard. Kyou lay there, limbs twitching.
Just then, Shigure came down, yawning. "What's all the commotion down here?" His eyes immediately rested on the hole in the wall. "Aaah! My poor, poor wall!" Shigure cried.
Tohru sat there, gaping like a fish. At last she regained her speech. "But…what about Kyou-kun?" She asked. "He'll live." Shigure replied, and knelt beside the broken wall, crying, "My poor, poor wall."
"Let's go, Miss Honda. School starts soon, and my brother already left. We can walk together." Yuki told her, as he picked up his school bag. "Um…sure." Tohru replied, as she also picked up her bag. "But…shouldn't we see if Kyou-kun is okay?" She looked to where Kyou was still sprawled out.
"He's fine. All that's damaged is his stupid pride." Yuki replied, as he walked out of the front door, leaving for school. Tohru sighed, and followed him. Kyou waited until they were both gone, until he stood up.
"Damn. He hasn't laid into me like that in ages. He must be really mad. Heh. He's still pissed at me for humiliating him in class the other day." Kyou laughed, and gently touched the side of his head.
Burning pain shot to his temple. "That's gonna leave one hell of a mark." He said, wincing. He walked back into the house, not through the front door, but by the huge hole in the wall.
"Well, I guess I'll be off." Kyou said, and picked up his schoolbag. He stared at Shigure, who was still sobbing over the wall. "How pathetic." Kyou mumbled, before he left for school.
School Hallway
9:45 am
Kyou was walking to his art class when a hand placed itself on his shoulder. He turned around to face the culprit. It was none other than Harumi Hanzaki, the school genius. And also known as one of the most wicked girls to walk the halls – according to Kyou.
"You're late, Sohma. And you're in the main hallway. It takes two minutes exactly to get from the school gates, to this exact spot. Three minutes and fourteen seconds, if it's windy. The gates close at 9:00. You're forty-five minutes late. You're going on the list for this." The girl smirked, and flicked her white-blonde hair over her shoulder, and pulled out her little black book.
Kyou scowled at her. "You seriously need to get a life." He mumbled. "I've got one, unlike some people." Harumi replied, as she furiously scribbled notes in her book. "I am graduating from this school with the highest honors. You, on the other hand…will probably end up serving fries at McDonalds." She said, and put her book away.
"Listen here, you bitch--" Kyou growled, but Harumi cut him off with a wave of her pale hand. "Go on, get to class. You have art, I believe." She replied, and walked away, her silken hair whipping him in the face as she did so.
With his fur bristling, Kyou headed for his art class.
Ayame's Art Class
10:00 am
"Come on, class! Clay doesn't just mold itself! You have to embrace it! You have to love it! Haven't you ever seen the movie, Ghost?" Ayame asked the class. The class groaned out in exasperation.
"Come on, man! We did sculptures the other day! This is so boring!" Takeshi Kanno, a boy from the back called out. "I reckon it's cuz he don't know how to do anything else." Kuroudo Sakurai, his best friend whispered into his ear.
Takeshi laughed. Hearing this, Ayame swooped over to them like a bird of prey. "Find something funny…gentlemen?" Ayame asked, glaring down at them. "Nothing here, sensei." The boys replied, and hastily went back to their work.
Just then, the door opened, and Kyou walked in. Ayame ran over to him, glomping him. "You're late, Kyou-Kyou. Could it be because of--" Ayame was cut off by a glare from Kyou.
It was then that Ayame noticed the big purple bruise on the side of Kyou's head. "Oh, no! Look at that nasty bruise! Don't tell me you've been walking into walls again!" Ayame cried out, dramatically. Hana and Uo looked up, staring.
Kyou scowled, his eyebrow twitching. "No, I got my ass kicked, that's what!" Kyou shouted.
"What kind of thug did this to you? Mike Tyson?" Ayame wailed, as he tried to soothe the wound by licking it. "Ugh! Get away, you deviant!" Kyou hissed, pushing Ayame away from him.
Uotani burst out laughing. Kyou glared at her. "Nah. If it was Mike Tyson, Carrot Top would be missing an ear!" Uo said, cackling with laughter.
"Yeah, you would joke about it." Kyou snarled, as he took his seat. "No, seriously. It looks nasty. Who did it?" Uotani asked, staring at the bruise. "Yuki and I had a fight. He got mad. I got thrown through a wall. Just a normal day at the Sohma Residence." Kyou replied, sulking.
"WHAT? ARE YA KIDDIN' ME? PRINCE YUKI DID THAT?" Uotani shouted, and stared at Yuki, who hid his face in a textbook, blushing. "Wow…I guess it goes to show that ya don't know someone as well as ya think ya did. I didn't think Yuki had an aggressive bone in his body. Go Yuki! Thug life forever!" Uotani shouted, and waved gang signs at Yuki, who blushed even more.
"You shouldn't give Yuki-san bad ideas. We don't need two people coming to school with lead pipes." Hanajima told Uotani, as she finished off making the sword sculpture from the other day.
"Yuki-chan…with a...lead pipe?" Ayame smirked, as smutty thoughts popped into his mind. Yuki got up and crushed the little thinking bubble that appeared above his brother's head.
"Why was I cursed with a brother such as you?" Yuki asked, glaring. "You mean blessed, dear brother." Ayame corrected him, and went back to his teaching. Yuki went back to his seat, with little anger veins appearing over his head.
They heard a knock on the door. "Who could that be?" Ayame wondered, as he sashayed over to the door, throwing it open. "Your pleasure is my priority!" Ayame said, in his huskiest tone of voice.
The vice principal stood there, blinking. "My…My Pleasure?" The vice principal, Mr. Toshizo Hijikata sputtered. "Oh! Hello, Toshi!" Ayame cooed, as he latched onto the arm of the fairly young (and extremely gorgeous) vice principal. "What can I do for you, sir?" Ayame asked, batting his eyes and looking coy.
"You can start by letting go of me!" Hijikata said, trying to look his meanest, but failing…horribly. "Aw…Aren't you the little stick in the mud, spoiling my fun. Papa spank!" Ayame said, with a sly grin.
Hijikata pulled away from Ayame, and cleared his throat. "Yes, well. I'm here to inform you of a transfer student. She's just come from America." Hijikata told Ayame, and stood back, revealing a girl with black hair.
"This is Miss Yumi Shiratori. I hope you treat her well." Hijikata warned Ayame. "But of course, sir. I treat my students with the utmost love and affection." Ayame replied.
"That's what I'm afraid of." Hijikata mumbled. "Anyway, I need to be getting back to the office. I'll leave her in your…capable care." Hijikata spoke, and made a hasty escape.
"So…welcome, Yumi. I hope you like Japan, as much as America." Ayame told her. "I was born here. Both my parents are Japanese. I lived in America for a couple of years. Dad got offered a better job. So here I am…back in the boonies." Yumi replied, with a scowl.
Confused, Ayame held the door open for her. "Take a seat next to Miss Arisa Uotani." Ayame told her. Yumi stared at Uo, as if in a trance. Then, she spoke.
"Get the hell outta here! Uotani? Arisa Uotani?" Yumi shouted out. "Yeah?" Uo yawned, looking up. Uotani's eyes widened. "No…way. Is that you, Lady Blood?" Uotani asked.
"Hell yeah! I got transferred here!" Yumi replied, grinning. She pulled up a seat next to Uotani's desk, and sat down. "What? When?" Uotani asked her. "A couple of days ago. I was playing hooky, but my old lady put her foot down, so I decided to come to school today." Yumi told her.
"I take it you know each other." Ayame spoke. Uotani looked up, grinning. "Yep, we sure did. She was the leader of a rival gang. Lady Blood…one of the toughest, meanest bitches to ever walk the streets!" Uotani told him.
"And don't you ever forget it." Yumi added, and both she and Uotani cracked up laughing. Ayame sighed. It was obvious that no work would be getting done. At least not today.
"Okay…class dismissed." Ayame said, with a small sigh. Cheering, most of the class rushed out for the freedom they had been granted. The usual gang stuck around. Meaning Uotani, Hanajima, Tohru, Yuki and Kyou. And of course, the new girl--Yumi.
Tohru gathered her things, and walked up to Ayame.
"Will you be joining us again for lunch today, Ayame-san?" Tohru asked him. "Sadly, no. A couple of the teachers are getting together, and they asked me to come along." Ayame replied, with a quick apology.
"Wow, that should be a lot of fun. Some of the teachers are really nice!" Tohru said, with a smile. "That is just so true! Hijikata is so fine! Every time I see him, I just go numb!" Ayame said, blushing.
"Would you cut it out? Tohru doesn't want to hear about your sordid lovelife!" Kyou hissed. "Oh my…is that jealousy I hear?" Ayame grinned, and ran over to Kyou, and grabbed him in a big gigantic hug.
"Gah! Leggo of me, you pervert!" Kyou shouted, squirming. "You really want me to let go?" Ayame asked, with a small pout. "YES!" Kyou screeched. "Well, I think I can leave you alone--for now. I have a date with some teachers!" Ayame smiled, and released his hold on Kyou.
Smiling, he sauntered out of the classroom. "I can't take much more of this…" Kyou said, sighing dejectedly. "What a cool teacher!" Yumi said, grinning. "He sure is. Pretty hot, too." Uotani said, with a grin of her own.
"Would your friend like to eat lunch with us?" Yuki asked, politely. "Sure. Me and Uo have a lot to catch up on, anyway." Yumi said, and they all grabbed their backpacks and left the classroom, also.
The School Gardens
10 minutes before lunch
The gang all sat down under a gigantic Sakura tree, talking and gossiping. Uotani introduced Yumi to them all. Yumi glanced at Kyou. "Grumpy over there is Kyou Sohma, Yuki's cousin. Just call him Carrot Top. He likes it." Uotani told Yumi, smirking.
"Damn liar! I do not!" Kyou hissed. "My, what have we here?" A snobby voice spoke. They all turned around to face Harumi Hanzaki. "Oh, man. Not her again." Kyou grumbled.
"Yes, me! What do you all think you're doing? Lunch has not started yet!" Harumi replied, glaring at Kyou through her glasses that were perched on her delicate nose. "Our teacher, Ayame-sensei let us out early." Tohru told the girl. Harumi turned to face Tohru. "Oh, really? Some new teacher presumes he can alter the rules, does he?" Harumi said, and tightened her hands into fists. "Well…um…I don't think he was--" Tohru spoke, but was rudely cut off by Harumi.
"Don't you interrupt me! I was making a very important speech!" Harumi shouted, and dusted off some imaginary lint from her uniform. "When I first saw him, I knew he'd be trouble! Did you see those outrageous clothes he was wearing this morning? He looked like a pimp! He's been here for like what—a couple of days? I'm already hearing rumors about him!" Harumi said, scowling.
"Rumors, you say? Like what?" Hanajima asked , looking up. Harumi stared down at Hanajima. "I'm glad that you asked." Harumi said, and flicked back her hair.
"Apparently, he puts his hands on his students, when he's in the class. Plus, he's been putting the moves on the Vice Principal, Mr. Hijikata. If you ask me, he's a total pervert." Harumi said, making a face.
"I can't stand bitches like you! You're all milk and cookies when the teachers are around, then when they ain't, you act like the two-face hoe you really are. Get to steppin'." Yumi stood up, and shouted at Harumi. "How dare you! Who are you? I don't remember your face from anywhere!" Harumi shouted back.
"And I doubt anyone will remember your face, either…once I smash it!" Yumi snarled, and tackled Harumi to the ground. Harumi went down, screaming like a sissy. Yumi landed a solid punch to Harumi's face, before she was dragged away by Uotani and Hanajima. Harumi cradled her cut lip.
"My face, my beautiful face! You'll pay for this!" Harumi sobbed, and ran away. "Yeah, bitch! You better run!" Yumi snarled. Breaking away from Uo and Hana, she sat down.
"You haven't changed a bit!" Uotani spoke, and laughed. "I just can't stand girls like that, y'know? They really get on my nerves." Yumi replied, as she calmed herself down.
"I hear that. I've been wanting to smack her one for ages. But she's a girl, so…" Kyou spoke, blushing. "Oh…So you're a gentleman, eh? I thought good guys like you were extinct." Yumi winked at him, causing Kyou to blush even more.
Suddenly, the bell went. Soon, the gardens were full of kids talking, and eating lunch. Uotani elbowed Hanajima. "Here comes your loverboy." Uotani said, and pointed to where Haru and Momiji were making their way to them.
"Yeah, and I see your blonde cuddlebunny is also on his way." Hana replied, and Uotani blushed like mad. Tohru, Yuki and Kyou all coughed. "Cuddlebunny? Wha…What makes you say that?" Tohru asked, as a sweat drop appeared on Yuki's head.
"Nothing. He's just so cute! Right, Uo-chan?" Hanajima said with a small smirk. "Shut up, here they are!" Uotani hissed at her, as Hatsuharu and Momiji both sat down and joined them for lunch.
Haru placed a rose on Hanajima's lap. "Uh…what's this?" Hana asked, blushing. "It's a rose. A rose for a pretty lady." Haru replied, and smiled as Hana hugged the rose to her chest, careful not to crush the petals.
"Thank you, it's lovely." Hana smiled. "Um…do you wanna go somewhere?" Haru asked her. "What, you mean now?" Hanajima cocked her head to the side. "Yeah, I got to ask you something." Haru replied, in a mysterious tone of voice.
"Uh, sure. You guys don't mind, do you?" Hanajima asked the gang. They all said no, and she happily grabbed her backpack, and left with Haru. "What's up with that?" Kyou wondered aloud.
"Haru really likes her. They're probably making out!" Momiji said, with a giggle. "Just eat your lunch." Kyou said, as he wolfed into his sandwiches. They all talked. Well, most of them. Kyou and Yuki were pointedly ignoring each other. Soon, the bell rang for class, and they all got up and left for their classes.
3:30 pm
School Gate
School had just finished for the day. Kyou trudged alongside Tohru and Yuki, when Hanajima suddenly appeared from around the corner. "Kyou, can I talk to you? I have something for you." Hana waved them over.
"Huh? What is it?" Kyou asked. Smiling, Hanajima brought a tiny kitten from out of her bag. "Haru found this abandoned kitty. I said I'd find a good home for it. Seeing as cats seemed to like you a lot, I thought you should have it. Here, you go." Hana smiled, and placed the kitten in Kyou's schoolbag, then with a wave, she was gone.
"But…I…I can't take care of an animal!" Kyou protested, and stared down into his schoolbag, where the kitten looked up at him, and meowed happily. "She likes you, Kyou-kun." Tohru said, as she peered at the tiny ball of fluff.
"I don't care! I don't want it!" Kyou said loudly, and looked down at the kitten once more. His scowl eventually turned into a soft smile. "Well…okay. But if you scratch up the furniture, you're in for it. Deal?" Kyou spoke to the kitten, and the kitten meowed, in agreement.
"More cats. Great." Yuki said, his voice dripping sarcasm. They all set off for home.
6:00 pm
Yumi's House
Yumi picked up the phone from her bedside table, and dialed the number that she knew by heart. She waited until someone picked up on the other hand. "Hello?" A cold voice answered. "It's me. I'm in the school. All is going as you planned." She replied.
"Do they suspect?" The voice asked. "No, they're totally unaware of what I'm up to…or who I really am." Yumi replied. "Don't get cocky. Just follow my orders to the letter. Obey me." The cold voice said.
"Don't get your panties in a bunch. I've done what you wanted. Now, how long do I have to be at that damn school?" Yumi asked. "Until Ayame is away from Yuki, and that little bitch, Tohru." The voice told her.
"Look, Akito…I know, I owe you big time, for getting my dad outta jail, and all…but why don't you just leave him alone? I mean…Ayame ain't doing nothing wrong. I'm sure he'll be back, as soon as this teaching thing is over." She told him, as she reached for a corn chip by the side of her bed and munched on it.
"You're damn right you owe me! And you're going to pay me back--in full! First rule is…NEVER QUESTION ME! Second rule…NO EATING WHILE TALKING ON THE PHONE! WERE YOU RAISED IN A BROTHEL, OR SOMETHING?" Akito screamed down the phone at her.
"Listen, dude…you say that again, and I'll come over there and bitch-slap your ass! Debt, or no debt!" Yumi shouted right back at him. "Just…do your damn job!" Akito snarled, and the phone went dead.
"Bastard." Yumi scowled, and hurled the phone against the wall, watching as it smashed into pieces.
To Be Continued
