Kana Suzuki sighed, shutting her phone with a snap.
"Ugh, I can't believe it," she scoffed, rolling her dark eyes in annoyance.
"What's up?"
"Something wrong, Kana?"
The raven haired girl looked toward her two underlings, Oki and Kotoku. And that's exactly what the two girls were, not really friends and nothing more. Kana knew she wouldn't hesitate to use them as pawns should she find a reason to use them.
Oki, a timid girl with short brown hair, looked at Kana nervously. Whenever their leader was in a bad mood, things happened.
"Remember that girl I kicked out soon after I got here?" Kana said, leaning back on her cashmere couch.
"Tohru Honda?" Kotoku asked.
"Yeah, her. She's probably coming back soon," Kana grumbled. She resettled herself on her couch, looking at the two girls seated on the floor in front of her. They were at the Suzuki mansion, hanging out after a stressful day at school. Kana had failed a test, and an angry heiress usually meant everyone that had to deal with her was going to have a bad day too. The maids knew just to leave Kana and her two victims alone...
"Oh, that's great! I've missed Tohru's cooking, those rice balls she made for the Cultural Festival were absolutely amazing!" Kotoku grinned.
Her smile faltered under Kana's glare.
"I-I meant to say, that's absolutely terrible! The Yuki stealer is coming back?" Kotoku stammered, and Kana just rolled her eyes.
"I thought I heard you wrong," Kana said loftily, and Kotoku breathed a sigh of relief. She hated getting on Kana's bad side!
"Anyway, so yeah, that girl's going to be coming back."
"Was that who called you? Tohru?" Oki questioned, surprised Tohru had called.
"No, of course not. Don't be an idiot, Oki," Kana snorted, looking at the other girl like she was inferior. "It was one of her guardians. Some Sohma or something like that. How she got the Sohmas at her beck and call I will never know."
Oki and Kotoku shared a glance. It wasn't that hard for Tohru to make friends, and it took even less time for a person to realize they would look out for someone as sweet and kind as Tohru usually was. Besides, Tohru was so oblivious most of the time you just wanted to say, 'Oh, honey', and try to help her in the right direction.
"What did the Sohma say?" Oki asked.
"He wanted to know how I made Tohru to get lost."
"Well, how did you? You never really told us," Kotoku added.
"Hello, I know everything. It's not that hard for someone like me to dig up dirt and use it against my enemies."
Oki and Kotoku's eyes widened in shock. What did Kana know about them then?!
"My favorite part is telling someone I know their secret, and the horror in their eyes is absolutely priceless!" Kana squealed. "In Tohru's case, well it turns out Little Miss Innocent was living with three guys."
"What? Who were they?"
"Tohru? Seriously?"
"This is the best part," Kana smirked. "And a good way to ruin her life here at Kaibara, not to mention her rep."
"Well?" Oki and Kotoku pressed.
"She's been living at Prince Yuki's house," Kana smiled, imparting her wisdom onto her two underlings. "The fan club would tear her limb from limb for even considering living on the same street as him, but in the same house? Deliciously scandalous! And not just the Prince, but his cousin too. I guess Kyo could be considered a Duke or something. Lord maybe? Whatever. And their Uncle as well. Little Miss Innocent hasn't been living a wholesome life, now has she? The only girl in a house full of boys? Not even related? Tsk, tsk, tsk, what an impertinent little child."
Oki and Kotoku were speechless.
Didn't last for long though.
"Oh my gosh, Tohru?"
"I never would have guessed it!"
"Well, that's why I am the Queen of Kaibara High. I can't help but know these little things," Kana smiled benevolently. Her smile soured after a moment. "But now that girl's coming back, so I guess I'll just have to spread the word about Tohru's extracurricular activities. I gave her a choice, but she's coming back. It's only fair."
"Only fair," the underlings agreed, nodding.
"I think I might just be able to get her secret out to the school newspaper before it prints for next week," Kana smiled deviously, and then decided she would paint her nails.
