"So this is normal?" Tohru asked the large black dog.

I was currently keeping Yuki captive. I couldn't help it. He looked so cute as a rat. I pet his head with my thumb.

"Honda-chan?" He said.

"Mm."

"Would you mind releasing me?"

"Aww." I put him on the ground and immediately captured the orange kitty. "You're a pretty kitty."

"Who are you calling pretty?!?" He yelled fighting against my arms. I rolled my eyes.

Tohru sat down next to me listening to the dog explain.

"Oh. One more thing. When we change back we are-"

Poof!

"Naked." Tohru covered my eyes and I covered hers, flushing brightly.

Once we sat at the table I tuned out, fiddling with my charm bracelet. The only thing my old parents left me. It was complete silver with the Chinese Zodiac animals on it. I guess when I was little I was still interested in it.

I was thrown out of my thoughts by the table suddenly breaking in half. It hit Tohru's forehead and slid down slowly. The others watched in shock as she started bleeding.

"Tohru you're bleeding!"

I sighed and took out my emergency band aids and alcohol. When Tohru's your big sister you need to have some on you all the time.

I started dabbing at her cut. Yuki stood up and slapped Kyo.

"Today. For your stupidity. I will fight you seriously Kyo." He said very unlike 'The beloved Prince Yuki' even girls in my grade squealed about.

"You are not going to bore me right?" He asked dangerously.

"Just what I wanted to hear girly-boy!" Kyo aimed a kick at him.

Yuki dodged easily.

"Don't worry. They usually fight like this. It'll be over soon enough." Shigure said, handing me a band aid I gently pressed on her forehead.

Sure enough a swift kick from Yuki sent Kyo flying.

He landed on some rocks. Ouch.

"Honda-san. Are you okay?" Yuki asked.

"I'm fine. I'm not sure about him though." She pointed to Kyo slumped form.

"Nothing's hurt except his ego~!" Shigure sang.

"Oh gosh! We are going to be late for school!" She freaked. My eyes widened. I forgot about school!

I grabbed my binder and stood up and followed her.

"Your going to school like that?" Shigure asked.

We looked down to see our uniforms dirty. I wasn't going to live this down.

We hurried to school. Once again I was dropped off.

I walked inside the building and asked the office to use the washroom.

They gave me a spare uniform to wear as it washed.

I walked slowly, knowing already today wasn't going to be good.

I hated it when I was right.

I was shoved against the locker. I took a startled breath. The laughing boys gave me one last shove before going to what they were doing before. "Loser." They yelled back at me. I shook my head.

Someone tapped my shoulder. I looked up to see a girl 2 years younger than me. She had pretty orangish brown hair and chocolate eyes. She tilted her head as if asking. 'Are you okay?'

I smiled at her. She was adorable. "Uh yeah they must have just slipped or something." I lied.

"Kisa. Hinata. Nice to see you." A couple teachers past by.

"So your name is Kisa? I'm Hinata, pleased to meet you." She looked at me in confusion before smiling slightly.

"Are you perhaps a Sohma?" I asked curiously. Her hair was definitely natural.

She gave a single nod.

"Oh I met some of your family. Kyo-san, Yuki-san, and Shigure-san." I said. I didn't understand why I was being so open with her. Usually I'm a blushing, stuttering mess.

"Do you want me to walk you to your class?" I asked the young girl softly.

She looked surprised and looked at me as if I was crazy. I just kept smiling at her. She blushed and then nodded. A small almost invisible smile on her lips.

So we walked in a comfortable silence. She was stumbling with almost every step she took. I had to hold back a squeal. She was really cute.

I had a bad feeling so I stuck by her even in her own class. I was going to stay until the very last moment.

I asked her yes or no questions all the while eyeing the room.

Sure enough kids were throwing her dirty looks. A couple tried to approach but retreated at my glare. Soon they gave up.

When the first bell rang you stood up. "If anyone bothers you tell me." I said to her. A couple kids immediately looked away.

She gave a grateful nod.

I wasn't sure but I was almost certain a little boy was glaring at me with both hate and relief.

~Time Skip Brought To You By 'high school girls~

I sighed as I walked to my part-time job. I was just grateful they gave a job to a 14 year old girl.

But I suppose helping workers clean up, restock, and organize a pet store didn't take a lot huh?

I walked into the mostly empty shop. I greeted the middle aged man and woman.

Walking into the back room, I got the dog food and poured their bowls. I passed by my favorite. A female terrier puppy. Her fur was pure white and she had one blue eye and one green eye. For some reason no one wanted her. If she wasn't claimed she was going to be shipped into a pound. I named her Miyuki.

I was saving up all my extra money in buying her and Hani. A little yellow bunny.

So far I just needed a few more paychecks.

When I finally finished I gave Miyuki and Hani one last pet before leaving. I was utterly exhausted.

I made my way stumbling down the path.

When I got inside I closed the door softly hearing fighting in the kitchen.

Yuki and Kyo were at it again. I rubbed my eyes tiredly. How do they have so much energy?

I admit rubbing my eyes was a mistake.

"Aw! Hinata-chan you're so cute!" Tohru lunged at me hugging me affectionately.

I blushed and looked down. How did Tohru deal with this much...attention?

It was humiliating to say the least.

"My, my Hinata your back late." Shigure said leaning on his hand.

I nodded and motioned to the stairs.

"Oh you're tired. I told you I could handle the jobs Hinata!" Tohru scolded. I shrugged and walked up to our room. Apparently the cat fixed the hole he left.

I curled up on our bed and closed my eyes.
