Hiya to all my readers and I'M BACK!!
I hope y'all missed me!
Anyway, to the story. The last chapter was pretty angstty... I actually cried as I re-read it today while preparing for this chapter... maybe thats BAD though for an author to get moved by her own stuff... ah well ^_^
And this chapter probably will be a little better with a few lighter moments, but it's preparing for the big revieling secret and stuff so more angst ^_^
I hope you enjoy this chapter and will chack out all my other stories - the majority are angst, so yeah if you like angst - read and review my stories - its what I'm best at writing after all!!!
^_^
Your devoted writer,

***The Next Day***
All night I had stayed up, wondering what could have happened to 'Hatsuyuki'. I knew she had it hard at home… she was a Sohma; who wouldn't if they were a member of my family…?
But still… the way she just carried on with life against all odds… it was so admirable, even though it made me want to protect her so, so much…
… But still… I couldn't help my feelings…. I didn't want to stop what I was feelings…
So I sat there, waiting for her to come on throughout the night…
*Hatsuyuki has signed in*
… But when Hatsuyuki signed back on it wasn't her who spoke to me…
… It was whoever had disconnected her…
… Sohma Akito…
It's strange, isn't it…? Hatsuyuki would confide all her fears and dreams with me, and yet something was stopping her from telling me one little word…
… Her name.
She was too afraid to tell me her name…
Hatsuyuki: Iri, whoever you are. Delete this account immediately and have nothing to do in the future with my little 'Hatsuyuki'-
So the person was tormenting me with the knowledge that he/she knew Hatsuyuki's name…?
Hatsuyuki: --do you understand? If I even hear that you have been talking to her again, then I WILL find you… and you both shall suffer…
*Hatsuyuki has signed out*
***
I must have fallen asleep after that, after all when I woke up daylight was streaming through my open window, the alarm by my bed ringing violently, telling me to get up.
"Kyo…?" I heard Shishou call me, and it was time to forget about all that had happened and get ready for school – and the fight… not that anyone else knew about that apart from me…
… And Hatsuyuki…
Of course, she had tried to get me to put off the fight.
But I couldn't.
I had had enough of the damn pretty boy, and now it was time to see what he was made of…
To see if he really was as smart and brilliant as they all say.
"Kagura's here Kyo…" Shishou's voice carried up the house as he spoke and it was only then that I heard the female voice next to his…
… Kagura's voice.
Damn that girl was almost as annoying as Yuki – always clinging onto me… and battering me whenever I said anything that wasn't perfect.
"I'm coming Shishou!" I grumbled back, dragging myself into my uniform and pulling myself down the stairs to see the awaiting Kagura holding a cup of tea, a mixture of expressions on her face at the prospect of having to taste something my Shishou made… something she was wise to do…
"KYO!!!" She called as I was engulfed by her entirely.
"Kagura… geroff me…" I mumbled, trying to force her of me. God, if I couldn't even get her off me what hope did I really have against that sissy boy…?
No… I couldn't think like that.
I wanted to win.
I needed to win…
… I just didn't really understand why…
"Come one Kyo my darling, let's get to school!" She smiled joyfully and pulled me along to school, chattering wildly and allowing me to escape into my own thoughts for a while.
It was my birthday on Friday.
In three days time.
It wasn't as if I was excited about my actual birthday… rather I was excited about finally meeting her…
… And she kept my thoughts occupied until I was snapped out of them by that damn Yuki's fan girls…
"Hey have you seen the prince today…?" A group of them were asking each other wildly, with tears almost leaking from their eyes.
"No – he's usually here… do you think he's ill?"
"NO! He can't be!" The leader of the group, a girl in the year above with ginger hair called out over dramatically, getting attention from the group – and all around them – immediately. "The Prince is never ill! Never before has he taken a day off in his entire school career. To do something like that takes… DEDICATION!"
And with that she swooned onto a waiting chair, her fellow fans swarming around her like bees until…
"LOOK! IT'S THE PRINCE SEMPEI!" A girl with black hair ran up to the group, and as the others moved I saw him there, walking up to the school, head down…
Head down?!?
Usually the 'prince' always walked proudly, with his head held high, the bastard…
Maybe he really was ill…
Great!
If Yuki was off colour, then all the better – what a perfect day to decide to fight him!
I might even win…
But I can't just think like that. I have to prepare…
"Kagura, I'm off." I told the girl as I went through the school gates, leaving her to go to the collage next door.
"Bye Kyooo-kuuun!" She smiled as she skipped away, and I just tried my best to ignore her.
Now where was he…? I thought to myself as I manoeuvred the corridors. Is he trying to avoid me…? Maybe he knows that he's going to lose…
As I turned the corner I saw the bathroom door close, the door slamming violently.
Strange… the only one who usually slams doors around here is me…
"Hello…?" I walked in cautiously – after all, if it was Haru I didn't want him to vent off his 'black' side on me!
And there, leaning against the wall, in the corner was a slight figure…
… And that boy was crying…
"Are you al…--" I started to speak…
… Then I realised who it really was.
"Oh, it's you."
It was that damn Yuki.
"What do you want?" He asked in that arrogantly girly tone, not even bothering to look up at me.
"A Fight." I glared at him for a moment, before realising that if he wasn't looking, then it was a waste of my glare. "You've been avoiding me."
"Avoiding you?" I could almost hear the amusement in his smug voice then – and it just made me even more annoyed… "I can assure you Kyo; I have been doing no such thing…"
Augh! He was annoying me so much with his smugness.
And why wouldn't he bloody look at me?!?
"Now, if you wouldn't mind, I have somewhere much more important to be…" He tried to push me away and leave, but, for once I could hold him back – what was wrong? Usually he would have bloody left by now!
"No. You listen you damn prissy boy! I've had enough of your attitude! Today we're going to fight – old fashioned fist on fist, not your 'Nancy pansy' defensive tactics – got it?"
"I really don't have the time, okay?" He snapped back, trying to force his way past me, but I held him tight and pushed him against the wall, by knee in his groin to keep him pinned.
And still the damn rat wasn't affected by my attacks!
What did I have to do to him to get him to react to my attacks?
Kill him?
"Then you'll make time, okay!" I screamed at him wildly. "And look at me in the eyes when I talk to you, you damn rat!"
As I spoke I pulled his face up, forcing him to look at me, forcing him to see I was serious…
… And almost dropped it immediately.
It wasn't the tears in his eyes that shocked me – he was a sissy boy, of course he cried!
And it wasn't the lack of emotions that shocked me – after all, it was the expression that he used every time he saw me…
No, it was the shiner on his face, the mark on his eye…
A mark that had been placed on his face by a knuckle-duster.
Was he really that easy a target?
Then why couldn't I manage to lay a finger on him?
"What happened to you Yuki?" I sneered at him as I spoke, the upper hand once in my favour. "Did someone through a tissue at you? Are you really that path--- OW!!!"
Did he just…
He DID!
He kicked me in the balls!
The damn rat…
I tried to grab hold of the slimy git again, but for some reason he was strong again, and by the time I had recovered enough to look up, he was behind me, grabbing me by the scruff of my neck.
"Don't talk about things you have no knowledge of, okay?" He whispered venomously into my ear.
What on EARTH was wrong with him today?!?
He, well at least I knew he wouldn't be able to go to my party, not if it had been sent to 'Hatsuyuki'…
Why did I think that?
Damn, why did I always think stuff like that?
Maybe it would be best if we never met, so she never saw me like this…
"Hey Kyo." A familiar voice called from the doorway. "I see Yuki got you again. What did you do this time?"
God, why did they all have to come at the wrong bloody time?
"Shut up Haru!" I snapped back at him as I stormed out of the school bathroom. "I don't want to talk about it!"
"So I see 'The Fight' didn't go to plan…" He smirked a little as he jogged to catch up with me.
"I said, shut up! That damn Yuki may be too good at the moment, but you sure aren't!"
"So he won then…"
"SHUT UP!"
I looked down then, trying in vain to calm down.
But then I saw it.
Three strands of long silvery-purple hair on my bag from when it had brushed against Yuki.
What the hell?
