Kyo walked around all day with his thoughts wandering to different things. He thought about that blonde girl, the blonde girl's friend, that damn rat, and most of all, Tohru. He didn't want to go home to the house and see her again. It would cause too much trouble. Kyo had seen flyers around the school about a martial arts club after school, and he had actually thought about it, but there was the problem of it being a coed team. There was a good chance he would transform in the middle of flipping someone over. That would cause even more trouble for him and Akito would surely be outraged by it. It seemed that there really wasn't anything for Kyo to do.

"Damn it!" Kyo cursed. "What am I supposed to do after school?!"

"Uh, excuse me?" Kyo whirled around at the sound of the voice and turned to see the girl he kept bumping into. "Did you say that you wanted to have something to do after school?" Kyo looked at her a bit as he tried to remember her name. N….something.

"Uh, yeah." He said. Kyo looked away from her and put his hands behind his head.

"Well, why don't you join the kendo club?" The girl suggested. "I know that you're really strong, and I think that kendo would suit you." The girl had a slight pink tint to her face that Kyo noticed as his eyes fell on her. His head was still held upwards as if looking past the girl.

"No, I don't think it would." Kyo finally said after a while. "Hey, what's wrong with your face? It's all pink." The pink tint on the girl's face grew to a dark shade of red. She let out a small 'oh!' in embarrassment.

"I'm sorry; I hadn't realized that I was blushing." The girl laughed lightly. It was airy and it reminded Kyo of something musical; he just couldn't quite put his finger on what it was. "I guess it's just that I'm half expecting one of your fan girls to come out and tackle me." She laughed again. Kyo stared at her. Was she trying to make fun of him or something? Or maybe she was comparing him to that damn Yuki.

"I'm not that damn Yuki you know." He said in an agitated tone of voice. "The girls don't worship the ground I walk on like the do for him." The girl giggled again.

"Then you obviously haven't been paying attention." She said. "There are a lot of girls who like you. They say how strong you are and how handsome you are. Some even say you have a roguish charm. At least, that's what my friend Kira says."

"Is that the blonde girl I saw you sitting with?"

"Yeah. That's her." The girl said with a little less enthusiasm. "She said she confessed to you." Kyo brought his head back down to look at her. Did she not like her all that much? It was annoying Kyo that women were so hard to read. They had too many emotions.

"Yeah, she did. I'm told her to go away though." Kyo scoffed. "All these girls are so annoying." The girl laughed once more. "Are you laughing at me? You know, you're really starting to piss me off. Just who the hell are you?"

"I'm Nana. Nana Higurashi." Kyo growled a bit at her before he turned away and started to walk.

'Nana.' Kyo thought as he walked away. Why was he thinking of her? He hardly knew her and yet he felt like he did. Her brown hair, her sweet smile, that blush, her laugh; it all reminded him of Tohru. It reminded him of Tohru Honda, and yet his heart didn't lurch in pain. Perhaps this girl could help him get past his pain and still allow him to love Tohru. Kyo turned around; he hadn't realized that he stopped walking. Nana was just a little ways away. She really wasn't that far.

"Hey! Nana!" Kyo yelled, and the Higurashi turned around. "When does kendo club start?" A small smile spread across her face.

"Right now."
