Hey everyone- here it is! The second chapter of Makoto Megumi! Hope you enjoy it- dont forget to review- PlEaSe!!!
Also, I had a reviewer ask me if Makoto Megumi
meant anything or if it was just my randomness taking over.
It is actual Japanese- and it means True/Sincere Blessing.

and
~ Kohaku ( still to make an entrance )
As we approached the school, I kept my eyes on the ground. I wasn't much for going to school- I'd rather be taught at home- having everyone look at you and distracting you from your work really got to me. Elli didn't mind it- she was one who easily fit in- but when you never talk- it's kind of hard to 'fit in' somewhere and belong.
"Oh no," I heard someone say softly, from behind me somewhere," More girls are around Prince Yuki! We must tell our leader about this!" I wondered what they were talking about- and then remembered that the purple haired boy we were with had the name Yuki. Was he truly a Prince- or was it just some sort of nickname?
"Well- I'll be off then," Elli said, stopping my train of thoughts. I looked at her, and she smiled.
"It'll be alright Kami- You'll be in the same class as Yuki, Tohru, and Kyo," Elli told me, and then she took off, down one of the halls. Not realizing I had stopped, I stood there for a while, frozen. Now what do I do?
"Hey- you comin' or what?" Kyo asked, slightly annoyed. Looking ahead of me, I saw they were all a good fifteen feet away. I hurriedly walked toward them, and quietly fell in step behind them.
"You remind me of when Kisa would follow Tohru around- the way you follow around Elli," Yuki told me, smiling. I wondered who Kisa was, but guessed it was a compliment, because Tohru smiled. After a minute or so, we made it to our class, and I sat down in the empty seat. Yuki told the teacher who I was- thankfully- because I don't think my voice has returned yet enough for me to do that on my own. There was probably only one way for my voice to completely come back…and as I thought about it- I found myself praying that I could see him again- and be with him again. A part of me knew that would never happen, while a part of me wished it would.

I walked down the halls, and stopped at my locker. Sighing, I put in the combination and opened it, then took out my book that I had forgotten earlier.
"Hey- you!" soon I was surrounded by four girls. This can't be good- can it? Well, all I could do was wait and see.
"I hear you and another new girl are hanging around Prince Yuki- and we don't like it!" one exclaimed- the one in the middle. Oh- again with the prince Yuki thing.
"So- if you don't want to be sorry- Stay Away from Prince Yuki!" they all exclaim together. They all left with their noses in the air, like they were all that, and I stood there, staring after them, wondering what that was all about.
"Are you coming?" Elli asked, appearing next to me. I nodded, still confused by the events of just a couple seconds ago- and then followed Elli to where everyone was waiting.

"I'm home!" Tohru called into the house, and Shigure appeared, his head poking out of a room.
"Welcome home everyone!" he exclaimed delightfully," How was your first day here?"
"Pretty good, ne Kami?" Elli asked me, and I nodded my head once, softly. She headed upstairs to put her book bag away, but I headed back out the door. It was our usual after-school behavior- she would wait till later tonight to do her schoolwork- while I always did mine as soon as I got home. Looking around the grassy yard, I spotted a good size tree, and sat underneath of it. Out of the corner of my eyes, I saw Tohru doing some laundry, but I looked back down at my homework, and began. Barely ten minutes later, I put it away and stood up. Even though I hated school- I was pretty good at the work, and got it done rather quickly. Going upstairs, I put my bag away and changed into regular cloths that were more comfortable then the uniform. I choose some khaki pants and a kind of loose fitting shirt- it gave me that rebel sort of look, but I didn't really care. Once again, I found myself crossing the room and staring out the window. The sun was starting to set, and my thoughts seemed to go hay-wire. A song that I loved seem to travel into my head, and I found myself humming it as the actual song played in my head.
I hear the wind call your name
It calls me back home again
It sparks up the fire - a flame that still burns
Oh it's to you I'll always return
I still feel your breath on my skin
I hear your voice deep within…..Now I know it's true
My every road leads to you
"Hey, you okay?" I jumped a little at how close Elli's voice was, but then calmly nodded. I was just hoping that somehow…someway… but I knew it probably wasn't possible.
"Tohru says dinners going to be done real soon, so I thought I'd come get you," Elli continued, not saying anything about my reaction. Nodding, I saw her turn around and leave the room- then with one last glance out the window, I followed her downstairs.
