Disclaimer: Once again, I do not own Fruits Basket or Twilight! I also don't own Wheat Thins.

Holy crap, I'm sooo sorry I haven't updated in awhile! I've been grounded from the computer for failing Spanish [-_-'] and now I'm using my school computer to type this chapter [which I wrote in my Geometry class ;) ]. Thank you reviewers, I know a lot of you have been waiting for this, so here it is! Please Review! =]

Chapter 3

twilight

It was the normal lunch time chatter in the Forks cafeteria. As usual, Bella was sitting across the table from Edward, casually munching on some Wheat Thins while listening to Edward talk about another upcoming baseball game.

"I know that last time wasn't the… most pleasant experience but-"He stopped abruptly and looked towards the doors, frowning.

"What is it?" Bella asked.

She received her answer only a second after when the doors swung open. As a natural instinct, everyone looked to see who entered, and the subject of conversation changed automatically. There were a group of new faces standing there, looking somewhat timid. They appeared to be of an Asian descent, with somewhat large and oddly colored eyes. Bella watched them, intrigued as they headed to an empty round table behind her and Edward. The whispers were heard clearly.

"Who're they?"

"Didn't you hear? They moved here from some foreign country?"

"Hey, are they Chinese?"

"What? No way, they're probably Korean."

"Woah! Check out their hair color!"

"Is that natural?"

"No way, they have to have dyed it."

"Omigosh! Thos guys are so hot!"

"I know, right? Like, I haven't seen guys as hot as them since the Cullens arrived!"

"That guy looks way too feminine."

The gossip continued.

"They're Japanese," Edward said.

"Hm? No kidding. They know English, right?"

"Probably! I wonder why I didn't see them, though," Alice popped up next to Edward, pulling up a chair next to him, Jasper on the other side of the table.

"Yes, I wanted to talk to you about that. Those boys. . . I'm getting a strange feeling about them," he said.

Bella turned around to study them more closely. There was a girl with blonde hair down to her shoulder blades, her hair parted far on the left so it swooped and covered the right side of her face, and brown eyes. She was dressed in a red and white baseball jersey styled shirt, and a long denim skirt to her ankles with black slip on shoes. Next to her was a very pretty girl with elbow length brown hair, bangs cut across her forehead covering her eyebrows, and kind, almost naїve blue eyes. She wore a white peter-pan collared blouse with small floral designs around the hem of her shirt and a pink plaid mini skirt and brown shoes. On her left was a gothic looking girl with long, dark brown hair pulled into a braid and thrown in front of her right shoulder. She wore a high collared violet dress, covered in a fine black lace, darkening at the cuffs of her sleeves and at the bottom of her dress. She had almost solemn strange violet eyes that slightly brightened when she looks at the smiling brunette next to her. Then, there was a very feminine looking boy with short silvery purple hair down to the nape of his neck in the back, with two chin length pieces in the front, the left piece shorter than the right, his bangs cutting across his forehead. He wore a white mandarin collared top with lavender trim on the ends of the sleeves, and collar, and black pants. There was a chair between him and the last boy. He had a rich, orange hair color with slightly tan skin. He wore a plain black t-shirt with grey cargo pants and sneakers. On his left wrist was a bracelet with alternating black and white beads. But what really got Bella's attention, was his eyes. A shiver went down her spine as she stared at his rich, red eyes.

"What's wrong?" Jasper asked. He must've felt the fear in Bella using his ability.

"Uh, it's… nothing! What an – interesting group. Is hair and eye color like that common in Japan?" Bella asked still watching the students. The blue-eyed brunette locked eyes with Bella. She smiled and gave a shy wave. Bella smiled and waved back. Edward chuckled.

"Yes they are a bit… unusual. I've never seen someone with that hair color, but you of all people should be used to that by now, love."

Bella laughed a little and turned back around.

"Yeah, I know."

"Besides," Alice said, "The cute brunette has a great fashion sense! Nothing unusual about that!"

Tohru smiled as she watched the group across from her start laughing.

"Ne, they look nice. And they're so beautiful too!" Tohru though aloud with a a slight blush. Uo laughed.

"Think you might find yourself a man?" she joked.

"Eh? I- I didn't, I mean I wasn't – "

Relax, Tor, I was joking!"

"Even if you were to find a man, we would need to make sure he is suitable enough to take care of you," Hana chimed in, looking at the two Sohma boys in front of her.

"Why the hell are you lookin' at us?" Kyo said, annoyed.

Hana just smirked, and continued eating the lunch Tohru prepared the night before.

"Excuse me," a voice said in English. The turned to look at the owner.

"Hello, I am Nikki Werstine¹. I am the junior class president, here at Forks High!"

She was very tall [to them], with chin length chestnut hair and blue-grey eyes with freckles splashed across from one cheek bone to the other.

"Ah! Ano… hello! My name is Honda, Tohru. How do you do?"

"Um, I'm alright I guess… Anyway, I'm here to just show you where your classes are and introduce you to some people, ok?"

Everyone nodded.

"Hanajima, Saki"

"Uotani, Arisa"

"Sohma, Kyo"

"Sohma, Yuki"

Nikki blinked, confusion displayed on her face.

"Flip 'em."

Nikki's head shot towards the table next to them. The short, pixie – like girl smiled.

"Huh?"

"Their names, flip them!"

"The Japanese say their last names first, then their first name," said the bronze haired boy. Nikki blushed.

"Oh! I see, thank you, Alice, Edward."

The bell rang, signaling the end of lunch.

"Well then, if you'll follow me, I'll direct you to your classes."

Everyone put away their lunch, and got up, following Nikki out into the hallway.

"May I see your schedules please?"

Everyone pulled out their schedules and handed them over.

"Alright, Arisa and Yuki, you will be going to English III, that's to your left, third door on the right. Saki, History will be down that hall," she pointed," and it will be the first door on your left. Tohru and Kyo – Oh, perfect! Bella, Edward!" The bronze-haired boy and the girl Tohru waved to earlier were just walking out of the cafeteria.

"Um, hello. Did you need something Nikki?" 'Bella' asked

"Yes! Tohru and Kyo here have AP Biology with Mr. Banner with you guys. Can you take them there?"

"Of course, Edward said, smiling.

"Great! Alright everyone, if you need me I'll be in the student council room. Adios!" Nikki left, and everyone sweat-dropped [unnoticed by Edward and Bella].

"Bye-bye!" Tohru waved. Kyo almost smacked his forehead. Then the group split up, heading to their classes.

Bella smiled as they started walking to Biology.

"Cool! I'm Bella Swan, and this is Edward Cullen, It's nice to meet you!" Bella introduced.

"I am Honda, Tohru, and it is a pleasure to meet you as well! Tohru returned the smile and leaned forward, bowing.

"I'm Sohma, Kyo," Kyo said.

They walked into the classroom and handed their schedules to Mr. Banner.

"Alright, please have a seat over there and there," he pointed to two open seats. One was next to the table next to the window, where Edward and Bella sat up front, and one was closer to the back, next to a blonde girl.

"Hey, you take the one by Bella," Kyo said in Japanese.

"Are you sure that's okay with you?" Tohru replied nervously.

"Yeah, don't worry about it. I'll be careful," he said quietly, and walked to the back table.

"A-alright, if you're sure…." Tohru sat in the seat next to Bella.

"I hope Kyo's careful… It'd be terrible if someone found out about the Sohma curse!"
