Open My Heart: Unexpected Visitor

The week pasted, because of Kyo's little display the how school was now talking about how one of the Sohma's had a girlfriend, the exchange student no less. Everyone was talking about it. Even the teachers were talking about it. Apparently it shocked everyone to see the orange haired, bad tempered Sohma act so calm and easy with this foreign girl.

Saturday came bright and early. Annika woke up bright and early, and wasn't surprised when she didn't find her Fruit Loops sitting on her night stand. She had awake two hours early(aka 5am). Quietly she put on her sweats and tank top before slipping downstairs and out the front door, her shoes in hand. She had way too much energy in her body. She felt warmth course threw her body as she thought about the day ahead. A picnic with Kyo made her whole day seem wonerful. After putting her shoes on, she started her rutine morning run, deciding to take her run a little farther then usual. The air was crisp and clear, fall had deffinitely come to call. She spent the next three hours instead of two running/jogging, taking her usuall pit stop at the park to catch her breath and look around. When she finally returned home, she went straight to the shower to wash off the sweat pouring off her body. The water felt cooling and refreshing.
Annika couldn't put a finger on why today felt so good. It didn't really make sense to her, but she put it out of her mind. When she returned to her room she looked at the clock. It read 9:15 am. She couldn't help but smile when she found a fresh bowl of Fruit Loops sitting on her night stand. "Your too good to me" Annika said to herself as she finished getting dress before picking up the bowl. She ate her breakfast as she walked down the hall to Kyo's room. When she walked in she found Kyo reading on his bed. "So you excited for this afternoon?" Annika said as she made herself comfy on his bed. Kyo looked up at her slightly surprised.
"Yeah. Where did you go this morning?" Kyo looked back down at his book.
Annika shrugged, "Oh, I woke up really early. I was too excited to go back to sleep so i decided to take my run a little earlier and a little longer then usual" Then Annika turned her attention back to her Fruit Loops, which she ate with a passion. Kyo laughed as he got off his bed.
"I don't think you did a good job at getting rid of that energy" he said as he put away his book. Then he walked back to the bed and set back down, watching her eat. When she was done she sigh in relief. She got up and when downstairs with Kyo in tow. "You wanna train with me today??" Kyo asked her as he started to head out to th back.
"Yeah why not" Annika followed him, thankful she had put on another pair of sweats.

"You need to try and need your legs higher when you kick" Kyo said as the two of them walked back inside. Annika nodded her head, she was going over the technics that Kyo had showed her. She would keep them in her mind always. Just in case. As they walked into the kitchen for water they realized that it was getting close to noon. So they went and took showers in turn before taking the basket that was sitting on the counter and heading over to the park. As they got there Annika ran ahead and did a cart wheel. Energy coursed through her veins, an unexplainable happiness was all she felt in her heart.
Kyo watch in amazment as she turned to him with that face. The face that made him want to be a better person. She was happy, that alone made being with her all the better. Together they found a spot near a bunch of trees and they set up their picnic. A breeze gently moved the tree's leaves, but the air was still warm. As they sat close to each other eating off of eac other's plates, Annika could help but think about life with Kyo. She couldn't think of being without him, but what did life have in store for them. But no matter what thought came to her mind, this is where she wanted to be. With Kyo.
After they ate, they wrestled a big before cuddling up against a tree watching the people around them. They spent the all afternoon at the park together, talking and just being with each other. When it was beginning to come to early evening they packed up their things and walked hand in hand back.
Annika and Kyo were in deep conversation when Annika caught sight a familiar form walking ahead of them. She couldn't help the confusion that flooded her mind. "What the-" just then the girl went around the corner, quickly Annika dropped what was in her hands and ran after the girl. As she turned the corner she yelled, "ISABELLA!" The girl turned around alarmed. Her eyes were confused but they soon became wide.
"ANNIKA!" The two girls screamed and ran at each other. They embraced, holding each other tightly. Shock consumed Annika's mind. She couldn't believe it. "Oh Annika! I'm so glad i ran into you! I was so lost!!"
Annika kissed her sister's forehead before letting her go and taking hold of her hands. "Oh my you've grown! But what are you doing here?? I can't believe mother let you come!" They heard running foorsteps behind them. Annika turned around to find Kyo running towards them, his face not very happy. Smiling sheepishly she walked towards Kyo pulling her sister behind her. "Kyo!"
Kyo slowed to a walk, "What the hell! Suddenly you run off, run around a corner and all i hear are screams!" Annika knew he wasn't all that angry, just worried.
"Kyo!" Annika smiled, "I want you to meet someone very special to me" She moved aside to reveal Isabella. Kyo's jaw dropped, "Kyo, this is my younger sister Isabella" to Kyo, looking at Isabella was like looking at Annika but this one was younger looking. Kyo had seem pictures of Isabella but none of them truely showed how much alike these two sisters were. Remembering his manners, Kyo bowed and said in English, "Kyo Sohma. Pleasure to meet a member of Annika's family"
Isabella giggled, and pulled Annika closer and whispered in Italian "Dunque questo è questo Kyo che ho sentito così molto circa"(1) Annika's cheeks flushed.
"Sì questo l'è"(2) Annika switch over to English so as not to be too rude, "I hope you'll come back to the Sohma house with us! You must tell me everything that's been going on at home!" Through the excitement in her voice Isabella detected a slight edge in her sister's voice.
"Of course I'll come with you! I didn't know where i was going anyways. But on our way back tell me everything so far! What's it like living here Anna?" At the name Kyo raised his eyebrows, a gesture that Isabella didn't miss. "What? Did i say something wrong?"
Kyo shook his head, "I'm surprised you called her that. The last time someone called Annika that, well lets just say that they left with a bloody nose" Annika gently punch him in the arm.
Isabella laughed, "Yeah that doesn't surprise me. Annika was always known for being kinda rough with people back home, as i recall I'm the only person allowed to call her that"
"And as i recall that person called me Anna Banana" Annika's face grimaced at the memory. Her two comanions laughed as they continued their walk back to the Sohma house.
