Not As Simple As it Seems

It was a normal day at school, a very boring, normal day at school. Then again what wasn't? Well I guess there was a small difference. But it was barely noticeable. Well… It was almost as easy to ignore as… a volcano blowing up in your back yard.

Arisa was happy today. Happier then she had ever been before. And why, you may be asking. Because she was on the way to… Home and Family, with the teacher who made you want to choke on your own spit.

Arisa usually wouldn't be this happy, especially going if she was going to see their cheerleading teacher. She had never been this happy going to class before, or school… or anything for that matter.

Why was she so happy then? Because she was in love. Yes that's right L-O-V-E. She couldn't help it; many people were bitten by the 'love bug'. But never had it happened to Arisa.

Hana looked at her friend, the mask still hiding what she really thought. In a matter of fact, it looked like Hana was almost disgusted with Arisa's behavior, when really she wanted it to happen to her. With someone else other then 'The Prince'. He was meant for Tohru.

Arisa turned and looked at Hana then said, "You know, I don't think Tohru is in love with Yuki."

Hana's mask fell for only a moment, but that was long enough for Arisa to pick up both Shock and hope.

"She told me she liked that one kid in out history class. I think his name is Aaron… or something like that…" Arisa said scratching her head once or twice. "That means you have a chance with 'The Prince'."

"No I don't. What about all his fan girls?" Hana said, the mask staying up this time.

"They don't have him as their partner in H&F now do they?" Arisa asked using the shorter term for home and family.

"It would never work out."

"Your way to negative."

"I like to be negative."

They came up to the class room at this time, so their conversation ended. Neither one wanted the fans to hear what they were saying. It could mean their deaths.

Arisa went to sit with Hao, while Hana went to sit with Yuki. Tohru's partner, had been Aaron so she was sitting with him. Kyo in the mean time was stuck with one of his fan's Yume. Looked like she was making his life a living hell. Just the way it should be in Arisa's mind anyway.

"Okay class! Today I have a super duper awesome assignment!" Their happy go lucky teacher ran into the class room, her cheer leading clothes on… again. "You all get to have babies!"

That made a few of the guys go crazy. And I mean down right crazy too…

"I'm not ready for this kind of commitment!" One of them yelled as they began running full speed out of the class room.

"I'm gonna be a daddy!" Another said jumping up and down on the table. "Yippee!" he yelled, and then with a big jump onto the table, it caved in, taking the poor boy with him. The poor boy was sent to the emergency room a few seconds later.\

The teacher, not knowing about or ignoring the freaking out people said, "Not real babies, but egg babies!" Then she held out a little basket. It had one egg in it, and a pink bow around the handle.

"This is an Egg Baby!" She yelled with joy in her eyes and voice.

"Oh great…"

"This sucks…"

"What if you don't want any kids?"

"Stupid teacher!"

"She so hot…"

"Yuki's got hot legs!"

"Kyo's so orange hair is so sexy!"

And the list of stupid comments continued. Especially the comments about Kyo and Yuki.

"Too bad Yume is paired up with him…"

"Maybe she'll get me a lock of his hair!"

"I wish Hana wasn't with Yuki… if it was anyone else, we'd be allowed to glare…"

"Well at least we know she won't try and steal his heart…"

"How do we really know that?"

"Your right! All for killing Hana and Yume say I"

"I" all the females in the class yelled.

Well almost all of them. Yume, Hana, Tohru, and Arisa stayed quiet. They all knew better then to yell at the fan girls about how stupid they were when they were like this. Even to Arisa they were down right scary.

"Are they always like this?" Hao asked her looking right into her eyes.

"Umm… almost." Arisa said.

Hao's eyes were so beautiful. When he looked at her, she felt like he could see her whole soul. It felt so weird, but in a way so good.

"That's pretty freak…" He said as he looked at the girls.

"Yeah…"

"What about Hao?" One of the girls yelled.

"What about me?" Hao asked Arisa in a whisper.

"I think you have a fan club too." She whispered back.

Mean while across the room, Kyo was stuck with a disgusting girl clinging to his arm talking to him about stuff he didn't want to know. Like her favorite color, and her dream date. Why would he care?

Kyo looked over at Arisa. Then his eyes targeted on Hao. Hao was way to close to Arisa in his eyes. In a matter of fact, they shouldn't even be talking. She should hate him! She should hate this class! But she doesn't… not anymore anyway.

It was weird. Kyo always expected a mean look to be plastered on to her face. Just like Hana who never smiled or frowned. When ever he saw her with Hao it was just… annoying! She was smiling with him, and laughing with him… it just wasn't fair!

Kyo wanted to be the one making her laugh, making her smile… Kyo's eyes got big as his face began to flush. He did not just think that. There was no way Kyo was in love. Not a one single, itty bitty way. And he wasn't jealous that she was with that stupid good for nothing Hao so much.

Meanwhile in another part of the room…

Tohru and Aaron were watching the fan girls with fear on their faces.

"They can be really scary…" Aaron commented.

"I agree." Tohru said.

"Umm… Hey Tohru, what do you think about going to a movie with me this weekend?" Aaron asked her trying not to look her in the eye.

"I would love too!" Tohru said with a huge smile.

Aaron breathed a sigh of relief when she said that. "That's great so how about this Friday, at eight?"

Meanwhile, at yet another part of the room…

Yuki and Hana sat side by side. Neither one said anything at all. They hadn't even said hello. Hana was attempting not to stare at Yuki, while Yuki was trying to figure out why Hana hated him.

Yuki sighed. He knew she didn't hate him, but then she must not like him. She never spoke to him or even looked at him for that matter. She didn't even comment on how she didn't like the fan girls threatening to kill them all.

All of this happened during the one class Yuki didn't like. The teacher didn't even notice the mob of fan girls who crowed around each other in the center of the class room, to plan ways to kill them.

"So, Hana, what do you think about them trying to kill you?" Yuki asked her attempting to start a conversation.

"I think that by the time class if over they will have forgotten all about it." Hana said as she turned and looked him in the eye.

Hana didn't know why she did it, but she actually decided to look HIM in the eye. Not him as in Yuki, or him as in the prince, but him as in her crush. That was a major step in over coming it. Or so she heard.

Yuki stared at her for a minute. He hadn't expected her to react to what he said at all. In a matter of fact he expected her to ignore him, and pretend she hadn't heard anything he said.

Slowly they began talking more and more. Just about the fan girls though. Nothing personal, but it was enough to let Yuki know she didn't hate him, and it was enough to make sure Hana didn't lose control.

Mean while in the first part of the room…

Arisa and Hao had been talking almost the whole class ignoring most of what was said. Arisa couldn't get enough of this guy. He was like a drug, and oh my god was she addicted.

When the bell rung most people jumped a couple feet in the air. No one knew how fast time went when you were planning murders.

Arisa got up and began walking toward Hana, Hao said,

"Hey Arisa, do you think you wanna go out with me some time?"

Arisa eyes got big, and her heart started pounding like mad. She had never had a boy friend before. She had always scared guys to much to go out with them. But here she was with her crush asking her out.

"Sure."

"Cool. I'll call you later." Hao said as he waved to her and ran to his next class as if his life depended on it.

"Hana!" Arisa called out her best friends name. "You'll never guess what happened!"

----- Yuki, Tohru, and Kyo just got home --------

"I wonder where Shigure is. He didn't come to breakfast…" Tohru said in a worried tone.

"I'm sure he's fine Tohru." Yuki reassured her.

"Are you sure? I haven't seen him since Arisa tossed him in that closet." Kyo said to the two.

Kyo and Yuki's eyes got big. They looked at each other both screaming in their mind 'You idiot you forgot him!'.

"I think he went on a business trip or something." Kyo said quickly covering everything up.

"Oh…" Tohru said.

Yuki looked at Kyo, then as Tohru left he said, "Why did you say that?"

"I don't mind if he stays gone for a few days."

---- A Random Closet in Hana's house---

Shigure was lucky enough to find a pocket knife in one of the pockets of one of the many jackets in the closet. Laying one the ground he moaned.

"I need food…"

Craved into the wall was written…

Here lies Shigure,

He was always the smartest and most handsome of all,

So I hope you shall all remember him,

As drop dead sexy

Shigure smiled as he read what he wrote.

"It's all true, every line of it!" He said his voice happy again.

Hana's brother walked up to the door and opened it, in his hand was plate.

"My parents said I could keep you." He said simply as he put some dog food and a water dish in the room before Shigure could say anything. Throwing in a red collar behind him, Hana's brother locked the door and walked away.

Luckily enough he didn't hear.

"Mmmmm… dog food!" Shigure attacked the food happily, though still in his human form, he enjoyed dog food.
