It Came from Beneath the Wink

by AlphardEscope

The Sohma family hears that Tohru has a new tomboy friend named Escope, but when she visits their house, they figure out soon enough that they are complete opposite! Even with their dramatic differences, they still believe that the Curse is safe...But they couldn't be more wrong! ;) *Wink*

Hey guys! It's me again, and I'm here with the 2nd chapter! Enjoy! ^^

Chapter #2- The Prince

[Kyo POV]

It's been a really long day…and that damn Rat isn't even in LAST HOUR!

I sighed. It's really pathetic when you don't show up for the last hour of the day, when you bothered to go to all the other classes.

[Yuki POV]

I slowly turned my head due to a small bing noise.

A girl halfway behind a locker was staring at me.

Did she see me? Oh no, think of an excuse, think of an excuse. Darn, what's her name anyway?! Ezope, oscope, something involving scope! That's it! Escope!

By the time I racked my brain to remember her name, she was already intensely staring with her red eyes.

"Hello. It's nice to meet you, is your name Escope?"

She didn't respond, and she was still staring heavily.

I'm an idiot. What a cheesy remark.

"Um, Yuki? My name is Escope. It's nice to meet you too."

She replied, acting as if she didn't even notice I was there before.

Maybe she just got there.

"Wait! I'm late for class!" I said, loud enough for Escope to hear.

"Me too. So what?" she said nonchalant, as if she didn't care if she failed.

Eh. I don't think she did.

"Goodbye for now Escope." I said halfway down the hall, on my way to Miss Shiraki's class.

I opened the door, and interrupted one of Miss Shiraki's lectures, as I trudged to my seat, which apparently was at the back of the room today.

[Kyo POV]

The damn Rat all of a sudden, just barged in, and with no warning darted towards his seat.

He didn't miss much at all, just ten minutes or so of the beginning of Mayu's boring lectures.

I was ignoring every word, and so bored, I tapped on Tohru and asked if she was listening.

"Mmmhmm!" Was her only reply.

I watched as Tohru's hand moved back and forth at the speed of lightning as she was writing down every word Mayuko said.

"Miss Shiraki?" questioned Tohru.

"Yes, Miss Honda?"

"May I have a Bathroom Pass?"

"Of course." Replied Mayu, smiling at how polite she was.

This is gonna be a long year…a long year.

[Tohru POV]

I was walking down the hall, making my way to the bathroom.

I passed the student council room, the gym, the cafeteria…..

Woah, Wait a minute! I'm lost! I gave a worried look.

Oh no. What would mom do? Maybe if I keep walking this way, I won't get more lost.

I went door to door, looking all around.

I looked into classrooms, knocked on doors, and all anyone could was, "Go away!" or, "Get lost! Oh wait, you already ARE!"

That was so embarrassing...and why was that guy staring at my skirt? Oh well, he probably hadn't seen mine before. Hehe!

From all the way down the hall, I could see a flash of black hair.

Huh... did I just see someone...or something?

I walked a little bit more, glancing left and right, as my brown dress shoes clapped in a steady beat.

The black haired head turned around! "Eeeee!" I screamed. Surprized by the sudden movement, I jumped and stepped back.

"Who are you?" asked the a tall, gothic looking girl.

A person?! Could it be? I'm saved!
