"Hey watch where you're going!" An orange-haired boy yells. He barely moves out of the way so that I don't bump into him. Even though I didn't hit him, I still dropped some books.

"Oh uh sorry," I apologize. I bed down to try and scramble these books together. As I try to gather the fallen books, I slip and let the other slip out under my arm too.

"Jeez, are you doing this on purpose," the boy chuckles as crouches down beside me and picks the books up for me.

"Thank you! Who- uh- who are you?" I look up at him and brush a strand of hair out of my eyes. He holds eye contact for more than a second and then shakes it off and continues picking up the books. 

"Well, I'm Kyo Sohma, and I take it you're Y/N! You're the girl that hangs out with creepy wave girl and her group, right? Y/N I think." Wait did he say Sohma? Is he the family of the prince?

"Uh yeah, that's Hana-chan, Uo-chan, and Tohru..." He hands me the books as we stand up. I smile at him and walk on. The classroom is busy as always when I enter it. I scan the room and walk toward the girls.

"I just had the weirdest experience!" I stand next to Tohru, scratching the back of my head.

"Oh hey, Y/n-chan! What happened?"

"You guys know the new guy right? Orange hair is fairly hard to not spot. Well, I accidentally dropped my books and he helped me up."

"What so odd about that!" Uo-chan questions.

This gave Hanagima enough time to start making connections that aren't there. But I shoot all of her fake romance scenes down and listen to Uo-chan that rambles to Tohru, "We're all going to yours after this, right Tohru?"

"Oh of course! Mom and I would love to have you guys over!"

A few months ago Tohru's mom gave us a scare. She called Tohru explaining to her that she almost just died. But was luckily saved by a stranger. Luck was on her side that day! Ever since then we've appreciated our friends and family more. But honestly, I wouldn't call what I have a family. I- I just want to run away some days, but I always seem to chicken out and return to the shit hole I call home. I decided to reach out to my neighbors for the company and met Tohru and her Mom. They were lovely, they were more of a family than any of mine ever was. As another escape, I decided to apply for part-time jobs, keeping myself out of that house as much as I could.

"I'll have to skip, I have work tonight!" I excuse myself from their reservations.

"What! Really! But it won't be the same without you!" Tohru groans.

"I might make a stop at your house on the way home, but it's the end of the month and the shops are usually jam-packed!"

"You promise we'll see you tonight!" Tohru lays her head on my shoulder.

"Of course," I rest my hand on her head caressing it gently. I've always felt like she's my younger clumsier sister.

"Hey, Y/N, can you tend the cash register for a little bit, I need to make some calls!" mister Daichi orders.

I pack away the stock, I grabbed from the back, in their respective spots, and waddle over to the front of the store. Several people come in, get their things and head back out. As the number of people dies down I fold my arms to lie on my arms.

The doors bings as it opens. I lift my head slightly to notice Kyo walking along with a girl hanging at his shoulder. He's not interested in her.

"Kyo-Chan, so what do you want to eat tonight?" The girl asks Kyo.

"Whatever gets you to go home faster!" he snaps at her. Wow, how cold... They may need help finding what they need.

"Oh hey, Kyo!" I shout from behind the counter.

He notices me and walks up to me. The girl seems to be a little aggressive. She glares at me from the entrance. She's hot on his tail as he walks toward me.

"Hi, uhh Y/N, right?" It made me smile, knowing he remembers my name. He still seems cold though– like nothing anybody or anyone can say can help him.  It's... It's, no I can't!

I hurry into the storage room trying to ease my racing heart. I slowly breathe in and out. But my breathing becomes shallow and my legs become as flimsy as jelly. As I puff out I take a seat on the floor. My legs wrapped tightly against my chest. It's those eyes of his... It's the same ones I had when we moved here. I felt dead inside after her death...

"Hey Y/N, are you okay in there? You ran off in quite a hurry..." Kyo's voice echoes through the door as he knocks on it rapidly.

I huff and puff for air until finally answering him, "I'll... I'll be out in a second."

I hear the knob turn slightly as his voice becomes raspy and serious, "I'm coming in, I don't want you to be alone, not after that!"

"What, why are you so protective now?" I question him as he opens the door and helps me up.

"Because," his face flushes red, but just as he wants to continue what he was saying, the girl comes in and bumps Kyo.

He loses his footing and stumbles toward me, falling on top of me. I fall back trying to avoid me being crushed, but after a mere second an orange smoke puffs out of nowhere. The orange-haired boy is now nothing more than an orange cat.

The cat glares at the girl named Kagura who stands in the doorway shocked at what she did.

"Did I break you or something?" I ask the cat worryingly.

Why does he look even more pissed as a cat than a human?
