Loud ringing had the blond bunny leaping up, and in ready mode. For one of the alarm clocks had a sound similar to the communicator. Usagi glanced around wary of the attack, and met two surprise pairs of eyes. Luna and Artemis smiled proudly to see the blond up in time for school. Usagi sighed as her mind erased the fog of sleep, yawning she nodded thanks to her neko guardians. Slowly she got dress in the new school uniform. It was a light blue, a different variation on a sailor suit, it was developed to look more like the American version. It was topped with a blue cap, Usagi tilted it, having one bun sticking out to show her familiar hair style.

Stretching she grabbed her briefcase, and shoes walking down the flight of stairs to the breakfast table. She ignored the shock look of her younger brother, and instead dug vivaciously into her food. Sighs echoed around her, and Usagi smiled secretly, this was the way of normality. Finishing, Usagi stood, picked up her suitcase and shoes, leaving with a large smile on her face. The slow pace was different for her, but yet, she arrived in a short time, for the school was closer to her home then her last one. Usagi glanced up, and read the school name with interest. 'Kaibara,' Usagi read, and then shrugged without care. Then she brought her schedule to her face to find out were she would go.

Confused, because the school was new, she wondered where to go. As she stepped in she saw a girl standing by a window with binoculars. Being her normal cheerful self she bounded up to the elder girl. Usagi glanced her over, and smiled brightly in waiting.

The elder girl, had light tan brown hair, that was down except for the side bangs tied back by blue ribbons. She wore a different sailor uniform, that reminded Usagi of her old one, except it was more white. Usagi figured it must have to do with the level of education, you were at. Concerned, because her eyes fell on the clock, she gently tapped the girl on her shoulder.

"Oh Yuki.."The girl whispered, before turning to Usagi. The girl blinked her fierce brown eyes in surprise at Usagi before frowning. "Why did you disturb me?" She asked. Usagi smiled happily in hello, before answering.

"Sorry, but I'm new and a bit lost." Usagi stated, and the girl waved her on. Usagi gave showed her the schedule while continuing. "I was wondering if you could help me?" She asked. The girl looked down, preparing to tell her to go when she saw the room number. Smiling widely, she nodded, after all Usagi's classroom was across from Yuki's! She thought as she looked over the schedule.

"Of course, Tsukino-chan." The girl stated, reading the name off the schedule.

"Usagi, please." Usagi corrected. "Thank you..." She interceded, before stopping, the girl nodded superiorly.

"Mokoto." The elder girl responded, and Usagi bowed.

"Pleasure to meet you Mokoto-sempai." Usagi greeted, and Mokoto smirked. Waving her hand, she ushered Usagi to follow her. Though Usagi chattered the whole time, Mokoto responded not, focusing more on her goal. Usagi shrugged as Mokoto handed her over to the teacher without a good-bye. Flicking her eyes up, she memorized the hallway and the room number, '2-C,' right across from '2-D.' For a minute she stood outside, waiting for the teacher to introduce her.

Kyo turned the corner, walking lazily to the classroom, Tohru talking companionably by his side. He stopped, his eyes widened as he caught familiar blonde hair. Tohru tugging on his hand had him turning his head to her. "Are you alright Kyo-kun?" She asked, and he nodded. To assure himself of what he saw, he glanced up, and still saw her standing there patiently. Figuring to talk to her as he approached, he reached her just in time for her to be called into her classroom.

Tempted he was about to follow her, when a voice stopped him. "Baka neko, that isn't our classroom." Yuki's voice pointed out, and directing Kyo's attention to him.

"Mind your own business, Damn Mouse." Kyo hissed loudly. Unaware that their actions were drawing Usagi's attention as she sat down.

Usagi blinked, as her classmates groaned at the obviously repeating display. Two male youths were standing outside the classroom arguing, ignoring the sweat dropping brunette between them. One of the males had a short orange hair cut, hair spiking up in his agitation. Red eyes flashing in anger, as he screamed at the other youth. The other male was just as fetching in looks, as the orange-haired one.

This male had a silver-grey hair draping to his chin. Frost-grey eyes sparked in annoyance as they stood arguing. Both males were wearing the black male uniform of a button up shirt, and slacks. Finally the brunette girl with green eyes reminded them of class. The two arguing males ducked in embarrassment before nodding and disappearing into the classroom across from them. Usagi then was introduce to the normal school chatters about a 'Prince Yuki,' and the 'Nekozuki Kyo.' She blinked, wondering which they were referring too, as they did talk about the arguing pair. Usagi sighed, and gave up, as the teacher called them to attention.

Lunch was a quiet affair, she decided to hang out underneath the tree in the distant yard of the school. As she settled down, Usagi was spotted by a couple of her fellow classmates. "Usagi, can we sit with you?" They called out, and Usagi nodded, not noticing the widen red eyes that reacted to her name. Said red eyes belong to Kyo, who sat with Yuki, Tohru, Hatsuharu, and Momiji.

Once again, he readied to go speak with her when he realized, that she was getting up and approaching Motoko! Kyo had been introduce to the lead of Yuki's little fan club, and frowned as Usagi approached the girl with a big smile. His frowned deepen as it seemed Mokoto talked companionably with the blond. He turned away angry, unsure as to why though.

Usagi laughed with her classmates before excusing herself when she saw Mokoto who helped her this morning. Quickly she bounded up to her and greeted her again with a thank you. "Usagi-chan, I have a question for you." Mokoto stated, and Usagi nodded her acquiescent. "Look over there." She ordered while pointing out Kyo's group. "Could you get a close up picture of him?" Mokoto asked cheerily while handing over a camera. Usagi nodded with a smile, before forming a question.

"Mokoto-sempai, why am I doing this?" Usagi inquired. Mokoto smiled as Usagi appeared to not be attracted to the prince, though she wonder how she couldn't. However, it worked in her favor, and she thought up a reason.

"For a school newspaper." Mokoto answered. Usagi smiled wider with a nodded, and bounded over to the group with a grin. The camera held carefully, and she knew the inner workings of one thanks to her father.

Kyo frowned as he noticed the blond bouncing over with a camera. His frown drew the group's attention to the blond approaching. He was about to leave when Tohru halted him with a sad gaze. So he sighed, and nodded his answer.

"Hi, I was requested to take a picture of you," Usagi commented pointing to the silver-grey haired boy. "It's for the newspaper, please?" She asked. The boy nodded surprised, and Usagi smiled. She thanked him, snapped the picture and bounded off. Usagi was in a hurry because she wanted to finish lunch before the bell rung to return.

Handing the camera over to Mokoto she was swarmed by her two female classmates on her conversation with the 'Prince.' Usagi didn't know who the 'prince,' was, but she explained about the picture.

The first day in Kaibara passed quickly, and Usagi smiled in relief. Celebrating she bolted out of the school with a fun smile on her face. Figuring she deserved a reward for her hard work today, she decided to seek out the arcade she saw yesterday.

As she walked passed the middle school, Usagi came upon a group of young boys yelling at something. Immensely curious, as she was prone to be, Usagi approached. Just as soon as she did so, she frowned. It was a group of boys teasing a young, orange-haired girl. Angry at the injustice, she spoke up. "Hey you!" Usagi cried, spooking the boys. They turned, stared at her angry face with cracking of knuckles, and skittered off.

Usagi's eyes then fell back on the young girl. The shivering meant she was suffering from sadness. Her heart went out to the small girl, quietly she walked over, and kneeled down. She then reached over, and hugged the small girl to her in comfort. "Shh, it's alright, they are gone now." Usagi whispered. The young girl stiffened before turning to Usagi's embrace. Usagi felt wetness strike her collarbone, and moved a gentle hand to tilt the young girl's head up. She was greeted by beautiful, but teary deep orange eyes. "All right pretty girl, why were those little demons bugging you?" Usagi asked. The young girl blushed, and then giggled at Usagi's description of the young males.

"They think I'm different because of my looks." She whispered quietly. Usagi looked her over confused, while the young girl ducked her head. She was struck with a feeling of deja vu, but shrugged it off, marking it off as her helping nature.

"Oh, they are jealous, that a pretty girl won't talk to them." Usagi stated. The young girl gazed up as Usagi smiled down at her. Mentally she remarked that the blond reminded her of Tohru. "Now, as much as I like calling you pretty girl, I am sure you have a beautiful name to go with your cute looks." Usagi complimented. The dark orange haired girl glanced at her with a smile and a nod. "All right, what is your name sweetie?" Usagi inquired.

"Kisa." The girl spoke quietly.

"Well, cute Kisa, how about some ice-cream?" Usagi offered, and Kisa brightened, before stopping. "What's the matter?" Usagi asked.

"I'm waiting for somebody." Kisa answered. Usagi smiled with a nod.

"Okay, then how about I wait with you?" Usagi offered, and Kisa nodded. Then Usagi drew out a tissue from her briefcase and dabbed Kisa evidence of tears away. "There now the sun can be jealous of you." Usagi stated, and Kisa buried into her shoulder. Usagi was going to ask who she was waiting for when a voice rung out.

"Kisa?" A familiar male voice called out. Kisa picked her head up with a bright smile.

"Hiro?" She responded, and Usagi raised an eyebrow.

"Where are you?" 'Hiro,' called back.

"Over here." Kisa called in response. Usagi was surprised as Hiro Sohma showed up in her vision. The same time her eyes fell on him, his fell on hers.

"Hey you, what are you doing near Kisa?" Hiro growled out protectively. Then he got a closer look at the female holding Kisa protectively. "Ah, Odango-Atama." Hiro stated in greeting. Usagi face faulted.

"Hello Hiro, are you the one cute Kisa was waiting for?" Usagi inquired. Kisa nodded into her side, and Usagi released her from her embrace. "Okay, well Hiro, I want to take cute Kisa out for ice-cream to cheer her up, may I have your permission to do so?" Usagi asked. Hiro glanced over at the smiling Kisa, not feeling threatened by Usagi, as he did by Tohru. Tohru never asked his permission, just merely agreed with everything.

"Yes, but I'm coming with you." Hiro answered, and Usagi smiled.

"Of course, a beautiful princess should have her prince with her." Usagi answered, not seeing either of their blushes as she stood up, brushing her knees off. "All right, to ice-cream!" Usagi cajoled. The trio was unaware of black eyes watching them with a protective smile. A white trench coat fluttered behind them.

Usagi chuckled at the cute picture the two twelve year olds presented as Kisa had ice-cream on the tip of her nose. Hiro was blushing and trying to wipe the ice cream off Kisa's nose. He turned to glare at her as he succeeded in wiping the ice cream off. "Thanks so much for the help." He sneered out, and Usagi smiled brightly at him.

"It looked like you had it under control." Usagi answered, and again Hiro compared her to his rival. Tohru would of apologized for her absent minded behavior, Usagi teased him. He could stand Usagi as one hanging around Kisa instead of Tohru. Judging by how Kisa was responding to Usagi he might get his wish. Hiro decided that Usagi could be worthy of being an older sister to Kisa, and maybe..even him. Though he isn't going to admit it aloud, though he smiled as Kisa laughed at the face Usagi was making.

A few minutes later Usagi stated, that she had to get home. She offered to walk with them back to their home, but Hiro declined. Usagi smiled playful at him, while her eyes darted meaningfully at Kisa. Hiro shook his head at her behavior, and both waved her off as Usagi darted home. "Did you have a good time?" Another voice asked from behind Hiro.

"I sure did Haru!" Kisa chirped in response.

"That's good." 'Haru,' answered.

Usagi smiled as she walked into her home. Her briefcase banged against her knees as she bounded up the stairs. She was greeted by the two felines she loved so, telling them of her day. Usagi completely missed their look as they caught the scent of the ones she was referring too. Again it seemed she met some that belong to that strange group of youths.

"Usagi, we are going out, we will be back later." Luna commented. Usagi nodded with a smirk.

"Okay, have fun you two." Usagi called out, as they vanished out her window, missing their blushes.

Sighing, she enjoyed dinner, had a bath, and sat down to do her homework. After about an hour or so, Usagi yawned with a triumphant smile. Closing her books, she snuggled into bed, and actually remembered to set her alarms.

Okay, wow, my longest chapter yet! Yeah, the cute Kisa made the scene, not to mention a return of Hiro. A few others made an introduction but not an impact yet. No, Usagi isn't in Tohru's class, because I wanted it to be a little different. I assumed though, if there was a 2-D, then there might be a 2-C, though that is only a guess. So, anyone want to phantom, who see might interact with next? Oh, nekozuki means friend of cats.
