Chapter- Un: Let's Start This Jazz

Emika, a girl with snow white hair and large green eyes, walked up to the school with Hiroji, her bodyguard. She trembled as the car she walked out of pulled away. She wasn't scared or nervous on her first day at this new school. She was pissed off. Pissed off, and a mad. There was absolutely nothing wrong with her old school! Her scowl only made her even more gorgeous. As she started to walk into the building, annoyed, she noticed a boy around her age and bright orange hair, arguing with another guy with purple hair and eyes, whom, for some reason, she instantly hated. On the side she noticed a girl on the side, watching them argue, almost trembling.

She sighed, and then put on her "I'm so happy, let's be friends" look. This was going to be a long day. She walked over to the girl.

"Hello! I'm new here. My name is Emiko Sohma!"

The girl bowed, and smiled. "My name is Tohru Honda. That's Kyo Sohma," Emiko's eyes widened as she heard the name Kyo Sohma. Tohru seemed to not notice, and continued. She pointed to the kid with the purple hair, the one she instantly hated.
"And that's Yuki Sohma." She looked up at Emiko. "Do you know them? Are you cousins?"

"I don't think so…You didn't say that his name is Kyo Sohma, did you?" She attempted to smile, but it came out as more of a grimace with her right eye twitching.

"No, I did!"

"Weird. My full name is Emiko Kyo Sohma..."She stopped her twitchy eye, and smiled. This time it looked like a real smile.

She looked up at Kyo, and saw him and Yuki looking at her. Kyo walked over to her, his fight forgotten. She looked up at Kyo, at the rat. Why she called him the rat, she had no clue, but the name seemed to fit him. He looked kind of like Kaori, the rat in the zodiac. She screamed as a kid playing soccer tripped, bumped into her, and knocked her into Kyo, causing them both to trans- wait…

I didn't transform…? I can hug now? Kyo and Emiko both thought.

They both grimaced. "Why'd you say that out loud, so loud!" They both hissed at the same time.

"What? What are you talking about? I didn't say that out loud! Yes you did!" they argued back and forth in whispered argument, attracting odd looks.

"Let's go in the building somewhere. We have to talk. Now." Emiko looked serious, and stern. Once the walked into an empty room, and closed then door, she glanced at Tohru.

"Does she know? About…the secret?" Emiko asked, sharply.

Kyo nodded. "If you mean the Sohma secret, then yes. But... Who're you? I've never seen you before."

"And I've never seen or heard of you or rat boy. But we can hug. And I don't think it's 'cuz Akira's being nice to me."

"Akira? Who's that?"

"Akira. Y'know, the head the family?"

"That'd be Akito!"

"No, that's Akira!"

And so went this conversation for about ten full minutes, until Yuki politely intervened by coughing, looking slightly annoyed.

"Shut up, rat boy." They both muttered, looked annoyed at Yuki and each other, then turned and faced opposite directions.

"Why do you call Yuki rat boy if you've never seen or heard of him?" Kyo mumbled, curious about this for a while.

"Because he just reminds me of the rat, that damned Kaori. Who tricked me, and left me out of the family, forever an outcast."

Kyo, Tohru, and Yuki all looked very surprised. "You're the cat?"

"Yeah...Is there a problem with that?"

"B-but I'm the cat. You can't be the cat! Is there another Zodiac or something?" Kyo stuttered.

"I dunno. But I am the cat. I can prove it, too." She walked over to Hiroji, her bodyguard, hugged him, and then turned into a pure white kitten. "Can you prove it, Kyo-chan?"

"Yes. And don't call me that." He walked over to Tohru, and pulled her into a quick hug. Tohru blushed, but that went unnoticed, as he turned into his cat form.

"Wow. This is awkward." said Emiko, putting her paw behind her head.

"Yeah..." Kyo looked at the floor. "Well, it's only a matter of time before I turn back." Who is this girl? And why does she have my name? Is it just another trick Akito's?

"Yeah, it is... AND I'M NOT A TRICK BY THAT STUPID AKIRA! And his name's AKIRA. At least get that name right. It's starting to piss me off." She yelled, and then clapped her hand over her mouth.

"Did you just...read my mind?"

"What do you mean? Didn't you say that out loud?"

'What the hell does he mean, 'Did I read his mind?'

"I mean, I thought something, which happened to be 'Who is this girl? And why does she have my name? Is it just another trick Akito's?' and you responded."

"You just read my mind! STOP IT!" She trembled, and mumbled softly "Too much! I can't...register...all of it at once..." then passed out on the floor.
