SmolderingBlackRose: It's hard and sometimes I actually forget to add her in. It's always hard to add a character to a fic that follows the show or movie because the lines that are important or make sense are said by the actual characters already.

Spring had come and school had started again. This was my last year as well as Momiji and Haru's first year. Of course instead of going to my own homeroom I went to Tohru's to hang out with everyone before the bell rang.

"Isn't this exciting?" Tohru asked. "And all of the first years are just so cute. I wish you could've seen them at the entrance ceremony. You two really should've come." She said to Kyo and Arisa.

"Whatever." They said.

"I shouldn't be here at all." Arisa said. "I don't know what I'm allergic to more, all the damn pollen in the air or this place." Her voice was slightly muffled by the mask she had over her mouth and nose." She looked to Tohru and me. "So where's the Prince today?"

"Oh he's been busy helping out with the orientation committee." Arisa sighed.

"Must be rough." Saki came over.

"Seeing as how he has to deal with all of the first year girl's lovey dovey attacks."

"As popular as he is, he's a shoo-in for student council president this year." Arisa said.

"That reminds me." Saki said. "The ceremony I thought I sensed Shigure's electric signals coming from the parent section."

"Oh uh-huh, he came today." Tohru said. "Actually there are two more Sohma's enrolling with all of the other first years. He wanted to see them."

"What a fool." Saki said.

"Hmm." Arisa said. "So there are more Sohma's starting this year huh?"

"Uh-huh."

"Well tell us about 'em. Are they boys, girls?"

"Oh they're two more boys."

"You don't say… we've gotta meet 'em."

"I agree." Saki said. "After all as upperclassmen I'm sure there are many things we can teach them."

"Yeah, I could show them all the best places to go to skip outta class. Yo Orange top." She looked at Kyo who had been reading a comic the entire time. "Go get 'em."

"Yes that's good." Saki said. "Go get them."

"Why do I gotta do it?! Make them," He pointed at me and Tohru. "go and fine 'em!" Saki put a hand on his shoulder.

"And what kind of friends would we be if we did that? It would be a terrible crime to make them go to all that trouble."

"Well what about me?!"

"Oh you?" Arisa said. "That's fine."

"Um, ya know." Tohru said. "I was already thinking I'd like to say hello to everyone, so I don't mind going. Not at all, really."

"Same here." I said.

"But Kyo, if you're going too, maybe we could look for them together."

"Oh please I already see way too much'a those guys as it is."

"But meeting them at school would be a whole new experience ." Tohru said. "It could be a lot of fun." He looked at her. I chuckled and walked to the door. "Be bad soon." Tohru said to Arisa and Saki."

The three of us walked through the hallway.

"So what class are Momiji and Hatsuharu in anyway?" Kyo asked. Tohru stopped and turned slowly to us. "You don't even know!"

"I'm sorry I guess I wasn't thinking!" She said bowing multiple times. He looked to me.

"Do you know?"

"Thought one of you did."

"Okay. Just wait here, I'll go ask." He said walking over to two girls. I walked over to the window and looked out. "Hey, you know a couple of guys named Sohma? One of 'em's got white hair the other one's blond?"

"Uh yes." One of the girls said. "They're in our class."

"Go get 'em will ya."

"Okay." The two girls ran out giggling.

"Hey man, check it out." Some guy said. Kyo turned to see two students. "That girl's pretty cute huh?"

"Yeah I guess so but she kinda looks like an air-head." The other guy said. "What about that girl by the window over there." My ears perked up.

"Nah, the other one's just my type. I'll bet I could talk her into going out with me. I don't do so hot with smart girls."

"Well you have a point there, so what are you waiting for? Go over there and work your magic."

"Watch and learn man." Kyo punched the wall above Tohru's head. The two guys jumped. Kyo looked at them. Tohru looked confused.

"On second thought never mind." They said walking away. Kyo lightly hit the back of her head.

"See what happens when you stand there like a space cadet?"

"Oh uh, was I?"

"At least stay alert when you're by yourself or else it's gunna be your own damn fault when someone kidnaps you."

"You're right." She said standing straight. He gave her a look.

"I said when you're alone."

"Right."

"You don't have to worry about it if you're with me. You can space out as much as you want."

"Right." She relaxed.

"Eh! And I didn't mean anything funny by that either. I was just sayin! S-So don't get the wrong idea." Tohru turned to him confused.

"I-.. what do you mean?" Kyo looked at her. Suddenly she saw Momiji. "Ah Momiji." I looked over to see Momiji in a girl's uniform, with shorts, running over.

"Tohru, Rika!" I smiled and walked over to Kyo and Tohru.

"Hi there." Momiji went to hug Tohru and Kyo hit him on the head.

"What are you stupid?!"

"Waaaaah! Kyo's hitting me!"

"Idiot! What the hell are you doing wearing a girl's uniform?!"

"Kyo don't be mad." Tohru said. I pulled Momiji into a hug.

"You look so cute in that." He grinned happily. Haru walked over.

"Good morning."

"Oh Hatsuharu." Tohru said.

"Hi Haru." I waved. He smiled and waved back slightly.

"Well at least you're not wearing a girl's uniform too." Kyo said.

"It's okay isn't it?" Haru asked. "It suits him."

"Yeah that's right." Momiji said.

"Uh-huh." Tohru agreed. "It looks good on you."

"What difference does that make?!" Kyo asked.

"What the-" Yuki walked over to us. "Momiji, what in the world are you wearing?" Everyone looked over to him.

"Yuki." Momiji said happily. Haru went over to him and grabbed the front of his shirt lightly, like a child.

"Hello Haru." Yuki said.

"So Yuki, are you finished with all of your work yet?" Tohru asked.

"No not quite. I was just making the rounds and I heard the commotion."

"Hey listen, listen." Momiji said waving his arms. "I'm really not supposed to goof around to much when I'm here. Cause if I do it'll be too easy for me to crash into girls. So I'm gunna try and play it cool at school!" He raised an arm.

"How the hell could you call wearin a dress cool?!" Kyo shouted.

"A valid point Kyo Sohma class 2D." Everyone looked to see a guy with glasses. Next to him were two girls that also had glasses. "And while I find that orange head of yours disagreeable I will ignore it for the moment, what I cannot ignore is a boy who would wear a girl's uniform to school. This goes beyond outrageous and even If your teachers allow it, I will not! For I am the school's student council president Mokoto Takai! Also known as Captain of the Campus Defense Force!" The two girls clapped.

"What a complete idiot." Kyo, Yuki and Haru said in sync.

"I can see already that you're going to be a problem student. And the same goes for you, Hatsuharu Sohma. I will not tolerate that white hair or those gody necklaces."

"President Takai, it's his natural color." Yuki said.

"Oh Yuki, so nice to see you- but natural color? I can see that his hair line is black!"

"Yes that's natural too." Haru started to twist his finger in the ear facing the President.

"That's ridicules! I don't believe it!" He pointed to Momiji. "And I suppose wearing this dress is natural for you, Momiji Sohma?"

"Uhh.."

"Have you no pride as a man? You have to change your ways and your clothes before this incident becomes the ruin of your life." Momiji sniffled.

"Bu-ut these uniforms look better on me." Tohru stood in front of Momiji.

"Please uh.. don't yell at him anymore."

"If I am yelling, Tohru Honda, it is to be sure he hears this advice, which should've been obvious to anyone with common sense."

"Hey cut it out." I said crossing my arms.

"Ahh Miss Rika, if you think I wouldn't mention your hair you're sadly mistaken!" I rolled my eyes. "Those blue streaks have got to go! And all those piercings!"

"Shut up." Haru said. "Quit shoutin like you're king of the frigging world. You're making my ears bleed you bastard." Haru began to walk over to him. "Now I've got some common sense for you." The president began to walk backwards. "If I wore a tie, it wouldn't change who I am. If I had no piercings, it wouldn't mean I'm nice. And if my hair was black it wouldn't stop me from kicking your ass!" He grabbed the President's shirt. "Who do you think you are anyway? Do you think you're god, huh?" Tohru, Kyo, Momiji, Yuki and I all grimaced. "What's amatter?! Run outta things ta say?! No more advice?! You're not so high and mighty now are you?!"

"Hey!" Kyo yelled. "Put him down, he's just an idiot."

"Shut up, no one asked you, you stupid cat!"

"Don't call me stupid, you little brat!" Haru stopped.

"You run away from our last fight and you still think you can tell me what to do?!"

"What?! You were the one who called it off, remember?"

"Well now I'm calling it back on!"

"Just fine with me." Momiji held out a lollypop to Tohru and me.

"Tohru, Rika, do you want some candy?"

"Uh no thank you." Tohru said.

"Thanks sweetie." I said taking one. He smiled. Haru put his hand on each one of the girl's shoulders.

"Hey sweetheart."

"Leave them alone." Kyo growled.

"Tell me somethin. You ladies think Momiji's outfit is okay, don't you? In time, after he grows up some more, then he'll be able to start wearing men's clothing. And if you think he looks good in that girl's uniform, just imagine what he'll look like as an adult."

"Lovely." The two said imagining it.

"Don't be brain washed!" The President said.

"For now he should wear the clothes that look best on him." Haru said putting a hand on Momiji's head.

"No! There's a dress code; it's not fair to the other students!"

"You stubborn idiot. What would you do if it was Yuki wearing a girl's uniform huh?" Haru asked.

"Uhh.."

"Haru, cut it out or I will cut you off." Yuki said. Haru put a finger to Yuki's lips.

"Aw have my words made you angry?"

"It's beautiful!" The president said.

"Stop imagining me!" Yuki yelled.

"Oh my." The President said. "I guess I got carried away. You are a worthy opponent, Hatsuharu Sohma. But still… Your hair is unacceptable and you'll never convince me that's your natural color!" Haru grabbed his shirt and dragged him to the boy's room. After a moment the door opened slowly and the two stood there. The President walked over to us, Haru walking behind him looking smug, and took off his glasses. "Impressive evidence. There are still many strange things in the world unknown to me." Yuki and Kyo looked shocked.

"He didn't!" Kyo said.

"I think he did." Yuki said.

"You may have won today, Sohma, but you won't be so lucky next time. I'll get you! I'll get you all!" And then the three were gone.

"So who were those people anyway?" Momiji asked.

"Beats the hell outta me." Haru said.

"Um, Hatsuharu?" Tohru asked. "I don't understand, how did you manage to convince him that's your natural hair color?"

"I wanna know too." I said tilting my head. He walked close to me and slid his finger down my cheek before holding my chin.

"Hey baby, missed ya, why don't you come with me and I'll show you." He said with a wink. Suddenly it dawned on me and my face went pink.

"A-Actually I think I know."

"You don't want hard evidence?" My face got hotter.

"I think I'm a bit too old for you, Hun." I said. He only smirked.

"I'm a big boy, in more ways than one." He winked. I rolled my eyes but blushed. He leaned down to my ear. "I could prove it to you." Suddenly both Yuki and Kyo punched him.

"That black Haru's too much." Kyo said.

"Um. So how did he?" Tohru asked.

"Never mind, don't worry about it, Miss Honda." Haru sat up. He put a hand on his head.

"Why do I feel so exhausted?"

"Oh brother." Kyo said. "You think you're exhausted?" The bell rang.

"Oh hey there's the bell." Tohru said.

"Guess we'd better get to our classroom, huh?" Momiji said.

"Oh yeah, if you'd like, maybe after school I could introduce you to our friends."

"You'd do that really? Great! I'd love to meet your friends I'd love it!"

"Mhm." Haru hummed.

"Good they'll be so happy. We'll come find you again later okay?" Tohru said starting to walk away.

"Um actually, Yuki, Kyo, I have something I need to tell you. Can you stay for a minute?"

"Oh well that's alright you guys I can go ahead and walk back to class by myself."

"Sorry Tohru." Momiji said.

"No don't be silly, it's alright. Bye." She turned and started to walk away. I walked next to her.

"I'll walk you back." I said.

"But you'll be late for your class."

"That's never stopped me before." Tohru smiled.

"That was quite a scene back there." Tohru said. "If this is what it's going to be like every day, I think it might drive Yuki and Kyo crazy." We chuckled.

"You seem to be in a good mood." We stopped and looked to see a man who looked like Yuki, only with much darker hair and he was taller. He walked over to us.

"Um, excuse me are you… Akito." Tohru asked.

"Yes I am. Miss Tohru Honda." I suddenly remembered seeing him in the window at the Sohma estate when we went to see Hatori. He looked to me but didn't say anything. He seemed to be thinking very hard for a moment before looking back at Tohru. Tohru bowed. I bowed slightly too, as to not seem disrespectful.

"Uh please to meet you." He chuckled.

"You're very polite I'm glad. You seem to be a good person and, not only that, you're extremely cute." Tohru looked up.

"Oh no, not really." He started laughing slightly, holding his sides.

"So you're modest too. I mean it you really are cute." He looked at me. "You're also very pretty Miss…" I swallowed. I didn't want to answer. Something about him… made me frightened.

"R-Rika." I could've sworn his eyes looked shocked a moment.

"Miss Rika. I'm sorry I didn't say hello when I saw you two at the main house. I tend to be rather shy around strangers; I hope you're not angry."

"No no not at all." Tohru shook her head.

"Well that's good. I should introduce myself properly. I'm Akito head of the Sohma family. I'm please to meet you."

"Oh no, the pleasure's all mine really."

"I do hope you and I can be friends from now on." He said with a smile. He opened his eyes. "Just as you are with Yuki and Kyo."

"Akito!" The three of us looked and saw Yuki.

"There you are. I've missed you Yuki." Akito started to walk over to him. "It feels like such a long time since we last saw each other, doesn't it?"

"What did you do?" Yuki asked.

"You look so grown up now. I think you've even gotten taller."

"What did you do?" Yuki repeated. Akito stopped in front of Yuki. "Tell me, what did you do to Miss Honda and Rika?"

"Nothing at all. We were simply introducing ourselves. Right Rika?" He looked at me. I couldn't help but tense under his gaze. "We were just saying hello weren't we?" My voice wasn't working so I nodded. He turned back to look at Yuki. "But now that I have you here, Yuki, there is something I've been dying to ask you." He reached up and touched Yuki's face. "Why did you skip the new year's banquet?" Yuki's eyes widened. "Why would you think to do such a thing? I've been quite tolerant lately, have I not? And that face that you would do something like that… you should know it hurts me deeply." He spoke softer so Tohru and I wouldn't hear but I'd always had very good hearing. "Perhaps, I need to take some time to reeducate you in that little room, the one I keep especially for you." Yuki looked terrified. Suddenly Tohru pushed Akito. My eyes widened and I sucked in a breath.

"oh I uh… I'm sorry… it's just that I think we'd better be getting back to class now. We're really late." She said not looking at him.

"I understand. Sorry to keep you. I suppose I should be getting back to Shigure and the others as well. They must be worried by now. Yuki," He looked at him. "I do hope you enjoy this new school year and I would be very happy if you paid me a visit sometime soon, hm?" He started to walk away from them. He stopped when he got to me. I looked up at him. He reached down and took my hand. "It was a pleasure meeting you… Rika." He brought my hand up and kissed it lightly. He looked at my hand before looking me in the eye. "You're trembling." I pulled my hand from his and backed up a bit. He smirked slightly before walking away more. He stopped and looked at a nearby window at Kyo before he kept walking.

"Miss Honda." Yuki said.

"Yes?"

"Tell me, Akito, he really didn't do or say anything strange to you two?"

"No nothing, he really did just introduce himself." Yuki's face relaxed.

"Good."

"We should do something fun." She said suddenly.

"Eh?"

"School gets out early today so Uo and Hana thought it might be nice if we played a game this afternoon. Especially since it's been such a long time. I think everyone's gunna be there so you should come too." She took his hand and they headed to class. "See you later Rika!" I turned and watched them go.

"Rock Paper Scissors." Everyone held out their hands.

"What am I doing, I hate badminton." Kyo said.

"Oh stop it." Arisa said. "I don't even wanna hear you complaining over there, you're not the one who has to play with this mask on, wuss."

"No one's forcin ya to play."

"So then," Yuki said. "We've picked teams but what now, what are the rules?"

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Arisa asked.

"Rules are useless in badminton." Saki said. "You hit the birdie as hard as you can. Your opponent will try to do the same. If you must call it a rule than the first person to collapse from exhaustion loses."

"That's good, it sounds easy." Haru said.

"It sounds stupid!" Kyo said.

"Oh shut up will ya, just get into position." Arisa said.

"Position?" Yuki asked.

"Okay I'll set." Tohru said. Arisa, Yuki, Momiji and Arisa were on one side and Haru, Saki, me and Kyo were on the other.

"Okay Prince, time to let Orange top have it."

"Keep dreamin Yankee!"

"Are you ready Yuki?" Tohru asked.

"Here it comes." Arisa said and the birdie went over the net.

Okay I'm gunna watch a movie, Don't be Afraid of the Dark, and then do the next chapter.

That movie was kinda terrifying o-o

Anyway next one probably out… within two days. Supernatural Season 9 is tomorrow! I can't wait then Walking Dead Season 4 starts Sunday! ^_^
