I stared out my window, as the trees passed. My eyes were glazed over, and I was deep in thought. Beside me sat my best friend for life- who I considered my sister. We had grown up together since we were four, and so we were very close. I barely heard her talking to the driver, telling him where to go. Right now, I was to busy thinking about so many things. Years ago- when I was eight- my parents had passed away, and I had gone to live with Elli and her family. Now, we were being sent to live with another family as part of an exchange program that our school was doing. Once I had learned of the area that we would be sent to- I was instantly in. This is where we had grown up- and this is where I wanted to be, even though I never admitted it to anyone.

"Kami," Elli said, interrupting my thoughts and yanking me from my own little world," We're here." Looking around, I saw a little house- cute but it seemed to have a certain feeling of secrecy to it. Silently, I followed Elli- even though I was older by one year- I always found myself following her. We went up to the door, and she knocked- softly, but hard enough so they could hear.

"I hope their home," Elli said to me, looking around the perimeter of the land.

"Ah," a male voice said, slightly startling Elli," You must be the exchange students." Together, Elli and I looked at the male standing in a kimono on the porch. He had a somewhat mischievous look in his dark brown eyes.

"Yes sir," Elli nodded," I am Ellisaia Nakasaki, and this is Tokami Ukichi. It's a pleasure to meet you." We both bowed politely, and the man smiled warmly.

"My name is Shigure Sohma, but please, call me Shigure," he told us," Please, do come in. I'm sure you've had a long travel." I tried, really, I did- but when he said Sohma- my heart seemed to stop. My eyes were wide, and I had to remember how to breathe.

"So…Soh…Sohma?" I finally managed to say. Elli stared at me- it was unusual that I speak this soon once meeting someone, and this was the first time since I had began living with them that I had uttered a single word.

"Yes," Shigure nodded," Is there a problem?" Deep in my mind, I was screaming in delight and dancing like a complete lunatic, but on the outside, I was completely frozen.

"No... problem…at all," I answered, starting to smile- it had been so long that I had smiled, and it felt kind of weird to find myself smiling again- but it seemed right. Maybe there was a chance…after all this time…that I'd be able to see him again…

"You'll have to excuse Kami," Elli told Shigure," Her parents passed away when she was eight, and she's barely spoken since. She's traveling with me because after the accident, she came to live with me- we grew up together- around this neighborhood in fact."

"Really?" Shigure asked, intrigued," I'm sorry about your parents, Miss. Ukichi."

"Oh! Please- call us Kami and Elli," Elli told him, slightly blushing on my behalf.

"Very well!" Shigure smiled, delighted. Just then, someone hit him on the head, and he mad a sad, puppy-dog like face.

"Aw, Yuki, why'd you do that?" Shigure whined. Looking up, Elli and I saw a young boy, about our age- probably exactly my age-16- standing above Shigure, who was now sitting on the floor, nursing his head.

"Stop being perverted with our newest guests," the boy said softly, then to us, he said," You'll have to excuse my cousin, Elli and Kami. Welcome to our home. You may call me Yuki."

"It's a pleasure to meet you Yuki," Elli smiled, and we bowed politely.

"I hope you don't mind, but we only have limited rooms- so you'll have to share," Yuki told us.

"No! We don't mind at all!" Elli smiled, and I could tell she was beginning to like him.

"Allow me to take you to your room, so you can unpack and get situated," Yuki says kindly, smiling. Elli nodded, and followed Yuki; I shook my head, snapping myself back into the present, and followed Elli, staying close to her.

The next morning, I woke up the early morning light. Beside me, Elli was still sleeping peacefully. Carefully, not wanting to wake her up, I climbed out of the bed, and stretched. Walking over to the window, I stared out at the scene before me. Soon, my thoughts seem to consume me, and I barely felt the time ticking away, until the alarm clock began to go off, and I jumped. Shutting it off, I went over to the bed and gently nudged Elli. She groaned and opened her eyes, yawning.

"What?" she asked me, crankily.

"Morning," I answered simply, and crossed the room to where my cloths were. As I got ready to pick out my outfit, a knock came at the door. Standing up, I opened the door, and found Shigure standing there, with two outfits in his hands.

"Here you go, Kami," Shigure smiled," These are your school uniforms- Yuki and the others will be leaving shortly, so if you want to walk with them, you might want to hurry." I nodded, and gently took the uniforms from him.

"Thank you," I said softly, not meeting his gaze. He walked away, and I shut the door behind me; then I crossed the room, and laid down one of the outfits on the bed for Elli. Before I left, I grabbed my hairbrush and other necessary items I would need, and headed to the nearest bathroom. Elli wasn't much of a morning person, so it was normally quiet, but I could here the others downstairs, chatting and having what seemed to be a good time. Brushing my long black hair, I stared at myself in the mirror. Every one told me I looked just like my father- which I didn't mind- I loved my father very much. He had been a wonderful person, with a very laid back attitude- my mother had been the hyper one, always wanting to have fun and make everyone laugh. My emerald green eyes that I was staring into seemed to sparkle each time the light hit them a certain way- just like what would happen to my father. I remember my mother telling me that was the first thing she noticed about my dad.

"Hey- Kami, you almost done?" Elli asked, knocking on the bathroom door. I jumped, and opened the door, nodding. She was already dressed and ready to go; I put my things back in the room, and closed the door- then followed her downstairs.

"You darn* rat!" I heard someone yell," Just shut up and fight me already!"

"No, you stupid cat," Yuki's calm voice replied.

"Why the heck* not?!" the other person demanded.

"Because we have guests, and it would be rude," Yuki replied. Elli choose then to go around the corner, and I immediately followed.

"Ah, good morning girls," Shigure smiled, and Yuki looked up, as did the other two in the room.

"Elli, Kami," Yuki smiled," This is Tohru," he said, introducing the other girl, and then the other boy," And that idiot is Kyo."

"I'm not an idiot!" Kyo exclaimed, and then stormed away. I stared after him, wondering if it was just him morning attitude or if it was simply the way he always was.

"Good morning everyone," Elli smiled," It's nice to meet you, Tohru."

"No! Not at all!" Tohru said, smiling," The pleasure is all mine!"

"Is there time for breakfast- or do we have to go real soon?" Elli asked.

"You might have some time to eat something," Shigure answered, and Elli nodded. We both sat down, but only she began to eat.

"Um… Kami," Yuki said, looking at me," Are you going to eat?"

"She doesn't eat in the morning- never has," Elli answered for me, which I was used to since I never talked. I sat there, my thoughts finding a way to escape me again, and leave me with glazed over eyes again. That usually happens when I'm deep in thought, and my thoughts seem to go wild.

"Is she alright?" Tohru asked Elli, and Elli peered at me.

"Oh- yeah," Elli nodded," She does that a lot. She's just deep in thought." After they all ate, Elli gently shook me out of my thoughts and I rose. Then, following her, who followed Yuki and the others, we were off to our first day at the school.
