Heyy! Back from camp! Whew, it was alright. Didn't go as expected, but still had fun. Haha, well, here's the new chapter! Hopefully, it's AWESOMELY DRAMATIC! Hahaha. x)) ENOJOY!

Chapter 3:

It's half of the school year for Yuki and Tohru. Yuki is student council president and has to stay afterschool. Tohru usually waits for Yuki to come out the front door of the school. It's their last year of high school and they're FINALLY in the same classes together, all of them.

"Hey, Honda-san, we should get to class soon."

"Yeah, we should. C'mon Yuki-kun!"

"Kay, hold up! I gotta put these piano sheets inside my bag."

"Hurry up, slow poke!"

"Coming!"

Yuki ran as fast as he could to catch up to Tohru. He finally caught up to Tohru.

"Ah! Yuki-kun, you scared me!"

"Oh, sorry Honda-san."

"It's okay. You caught up though. Gosh, you're fast!"

"Yeah, I know. All due to practice."

"Haha, yeah. Well, let's get to class."

Yuki and Tohru entered homeroom together. The kids in the corner were whispering something about Yuki and Tohru, but the two didn't care what they were talking about. Yuki and Tohru made it to class just in time. The Sensei came in and said, "Okay, class. Take a seat. I have very important news to tell..."

Kyo came in and interrupted, "Sorry Sensei, I was having 'important' business to take care of."

"Haha, nice going Kyo!" one of the kids in the back said.

"Who was it?" asked one of the girls.

The Sensei interrupted, "Everyone, SILENCE!"

The room went silent, and everyone looked at Sensei like nobody's business. Everyone was wondering what was going to happen next.

"Kyo, take a seat," Sensei said.

Kyo, apparently sat to the empty seat next to Tohru.

"Hey Tohru-chan."

Tohru just waved 'hi' because she didn't wanna get into any serious trouble.

Sensei carried on and said, "Okay class, now, back to what I was saying… I have some very important news to tell you guys. We have a new student today. Her name is…. Kuragi Machi. Everyone, please welcome her."

Machi walked in and said, "Thank you everyone, I am glad to be here today. I want to get to know everyone here and have fun."

Machi was looking directly at Yuki. Yuki looked at Machi somewhat a bit weird. Tohru was looking at Yuki…
TOHRU'S FLASHBACK: Back in 3rd Grade

"Hey! Tohru, where's your little 'boyfriend', Yuki? Huh!?"

"He's not my boyfriend!"

"Yeahh, sureee… Looks like it!"

"Machi! Don't make fun of me!"

"Why? Is your little 'boyfriend' gonna come and protect you?"

Tohru looked away and wasn't sure where Yuki was, either, piano practice, which was 2 hours away, or Soccer practice, which was only 10 minutes away from school.

"Hn, doesn't look like he's coming at all, is he?"

"…. I…. dun… no…"

"What was that?"

"… I DON'T KNOW!"

"Ha, thought so. Well, since he's not around, it's time to play with you. Girls, tie her up!"

Machi's little 'crew' pushed her to a pole, put her arms behind her and tied them around the pole. They tied her feet so that she wouldn't be able to kick anything. They wrapped cloth around her mouth and tied it to the pole as well.

"Okay girls, that should be good."

Tohru was staying strong and trying not to cry in front of Machi.

"Hey girls, you guys see any 'Yuki' around?"

All the girls said, "Nope!"

"Good…. Now, Tohru… What should we do first? Oh, I know, what about…. Your hair? What should we do, cut it? Tear it? Hrmmm, dunno, girls?"

"Cut it! Cut it! Cut it!"

"Okay… Let's CUT it!"

Tohru had kept her hair long ever since her parents died to remember the last time her mom and dad took her to a salon.

"MMM! (Noo!)"

Machi took out her scissors from her backpack and slowly cut her hair. Tohru started to tear up and then Machi said, "Awwww, little Tohru's started to cry." Machi's little crew giggled.

"Hey girls, get out your camera and take pictures, record her, do whatever."

"Okay." The three of them said.

Yuki was coming back to pick up Tohru and walk home together.

He was walking the alley when he saw what looked like Tohru that was tied up in the park.
"Is that…. Honda-san? What are they doing?"

Yuki silently got a closer look to see what the situation was.
"That's Honda-san! I'm so stupid! Who the heck is that girl? I have to go save Honda-san!"

Tohru was crying and Machi had already cut her hair and the other three girls were taking pictures and recording Tohru cry.

"HONDA-SAN!"

"MM-MM-MM! (Yuki-kun!)"

Machi yelled, "Girls! Cut it out!"

"But you-"

"I said cut it out!"

Yuki came inside the park and took the cameras away from the three girls. He destroyed all of the memory and footage that they got of Tohru. He untied Tohru and helped her up.

"You… you…. Monsters…. Go. Away…. NOW!"

Machi and her crew ran away from the park. Yuki held Tohru close and tried to cool off her rope burns. Tohru was sobbing so much she couldn't feel the rope burns.

"It's okay Honda-san. I'm here now. Don't worry. I will never leave your side. I will stay by your side. I am the only person who will protect you and be your best friend for the rest of your life. Don't cry. Let's go home."

END FLASHBACK:

"Class, Kuragi-san needs someone to help her around the school. Is anyone volunteering to help her?"

Someone shouted out, "HEY! Why won't our student council president help her around the school?"

"Sohma-san? Would you like to help Kuragi-san around the school?"

"Uhh… I don't really care." (A/N: Yuki didn't get her name back in the 3rd grade, so he doesn't know, but Tohru does, cause Machi was her 'classmate' and OH SNAPS!)

"Okay then. Kuragi-san, Sohma-san here will help you with your classes."

The bell rang for the next class.

Tohru asked, "Hey, Yuki-kun, we're going to class together, right?"

"Sorry Honda-san, I have this 'business' to take care of. Gotta take Kuragi-san a tour around the school. I'll be there in time, I promise."

"Okay."

Time passed and it was already lunch. Tohru packed her own bento and went outside to eat at the same picnic table. This time, Yuki didn't follow her like he did last time.

"Yuki might be here later, dunno. Oh wells."

Apparently, Yuki was with Machi helping her get to know the school more. They were the last ones to grab lunch. Yuki looked around for Tohru. Tohru finished her bento and climbed the sakura tree, just for fun.

It was the last class of the day, HP Science. Yuki and Tohru took the same classes. Again, Machi was in the same class. She made an excuse to sit next to Yuki. Tohru sat next to Kyo. She had an uncomfortable feeling about Kyo.

"Hey Tohru."

Tohru just smiled and looked away.

In the middle of the class, they were in the middle of an experiment. Tohru was disposing a chemical away, when Machi 'accidentally' fell and pushed Tohru.

"Ahh!"

The chemical got all over Tohru's arm and it started burning her slowly.

"HONDA-SAN!" Yuki yelled.

TO BE CONTINUED…

All done! Left you off with a cliff hanger! Hahaha, OHH SNAP, Yuki FINALLY noticed Tohru! Gosh, he's SO SLOW. Tsk, Lmao. And Like, Machi's a total B****! Anyways, Please Review. Thanks! Next Chapter Coming Soon!
