Sora, Tohru, Hanajima, and Arisa, stood in the hallway as the four of them talked.
"Thank goodness….I was able to borrow the school's washing machine." Tohru said smiling as she wore the school girls P.E. uniform as she held her newly washed clothes in her arms.
Sora snorted from her spot on the wall, she was still dressed in a clean uniform because the school let her change in the teacher's women/man single bathroom in the hallway.
Arisa looked at Sora and said, "You both looked terrible. Where did you two fall anyway? In a pig pen?"
Sora's eye twitched as Tohru started to speak, "Oh no…"
One of the Yuki fan club members walked past them and said (Girl with pig tails)
"Pity you washed off your uniform. The mud looked good on you Tohru. But you look so much handsomer Sora-kun!"
Hanajima then got mad and started to chase her sparking electro poison waves at her.
Arisa then moved some hair out of her face and said, "The prince is late today too. No wonder they're more suspicious then usual."
Sora and Tohru thought, 'We can't tell them we are living with Yuki/Sohma-kun'
Tohru then stuttered, "I-I'm going to change in the locker room. Thank you Hana-chan." She finished.
"Want me to go with you?" Hanajima asked
"Eheh! That's okay." Tohru said as she entered the locker room.
Arisa and Hanajima looked over at Sora with a look.
"Oi, so you going to tell us what really happened Tohru is to panicky to hide a lie." Arisa said arms crossed over her chest.
Sora raised an eye brow and looked away stubbornly, "Hn. Get to class you two."
Hanajima then said, "Your waves say that something big has happened…does the Prince know you're a girl Sora?"
Arisa looked shocked when Sora went a bit rigid, "No, way the prince knows?"
Sora just growled and glared out the window staring at the cherry blossom tree's, "Just get to class."
Hanajima and Arisa nodded and headed back to their class.

Tohru came out of the locker room and smiled at Sora who nodded at her smiling slightly. Both of them, then jumped a little when they heard a voice, "Honda-san…Sora-san." Tohru turned around and saw Yuki standing there his back against the wall.
"Your friends. You and Sora didn't tell didn't tell them, did you?" Yuki asked.
Tohru started to freak out, "Tell them…? No. I didn't! AM I MAKING YOU NERVOUS?! I'M A LIABILITY, AREN'T I?! I…would never tell anyone! My mom always told me that gossiping is wrong!!!"
Yuki looked a bit annoyed at Tohru's freaking out and Sora not saying anything but looking at him eyes blank, "No it's not that." He said
Tohru then went straight up to him and said loudly, "I promise! I'll sign my name in blood or burn myself with a cigarette or anything you want! I'm pretty sure my mom did stuff like that!"
Sora's eye started to twitch a bit at her sister but stayed silent, 'Oy vey Tohru…you make such a big deal out of things.' She thought
Yuki looked calm but on the inside was weirded out, "No, I told you that's not it." He said, 'Honda-san is so weird. Nice girl but freaks out to easily…how does that work out….and what type of person was Sora-san and Honda-san's mother?' He thought.
Yuki then ran up and cornered Sora her eyes wide as he was holding her there arms on either side of her shoulders as he stared hard at her, Tohru who stood next to her sister had wide eyes.
"You both are going to all this trouble just to keep our secret. But that may not be enough." Yuki said staring hard at Sora then turning to look at Tohru.
"We're sorry…" Sora and Tohru said shocked at the way Yuki was acting.
"But your memories might have to be erased. I say "erased" but it's more like hypnosis. A long time ago, our secret got out, like it did today. I was in second grade. We were playing in the garden at the main house. A girl got carried away and hugged me. It caused such a commotion that eventually they had to suppress the memories of everyone that was there." Yuki said his eyes purple eyes misted over slightly as he went out of it as if remembering something. Sora didn't move an inch but turned her eyes to Tohru who caught her eyes and they both held something in there eyes.
"Akito…Akito. Am I so strange that we have to erase people's memories to hide it?" said a 6 year old Yuki
"Yes you are strange. Is it not strange for a boy to turn into a rat? If normal people knew your secret it would sicken them. They'd stay away from you. You would be forced to live alone." Said Akito
Yuki's eyes slowly came back to there dark purple as the memory came to an end and he heard Sora and Tohru's voices, "Yuki/Sohma-kun?" He then moved away from Sora standing still in front of her but looking down, "I cannot defy Akito's wishes. What he decides is what must be done. So….I'm sorry…" He said
"You two never asked to get involved with the Sohma family's problems. I'm sorry. That's all he said as he started to walk away.
"Uh, um, wait!" Sora and Tohru said as they both grabbed Yuki by his shoulders accidentally pressing into him causing a giant poof of purple smoke.
Tohru fell to the ground her arms and body facing the wall as she was glooming hard, "WE ARE SOOOO SORRY! WE DIDN'T DO THAT ON PURPOSE! WE ARE SUICH IDIOTS!" She wailed.
"Don't sweat it you two. Just as no one saw." Yuki in rat form said sweat dropping hugely.
Sora sat on the ground cross-legged and sighing one arm propped up on her leg and her chin resting on it as she looked at the rat Yuki but with a small smile as Tohru turned around on her knees and looked down at him.
"Thanks for worrying about us. It's okay. We're fine. It makes us happy…I…uh…" Tohru trailed off looking at Sora
Sora leaned forward and smiled down at Yuki and said, "We found out such a big secret…that you have to talk to the head of your family about it. You can't help it."
"Please do whatever will make your family most comfortable." Tohru said
We'll be sad to forget thought…They took us into their home unconditionally when they found out we were living in a tent. We were so happy. But….we will bear with it.
Sora and Tohru had their eyes closed but had small smiled on, they then opened their eyes.
Yuki's looked at them shocked that they could understand so easily at that Sora was being sentimental.
Sora then said smiling lightly down at him, "There is one thing….Please if my memories are erased….will you still be my friend?"
Tohru nodded, "Will you still be my friend as well?"
POOF! Yuki then transformed back right in front of Sora who was sitting right in front of her making her head shoot backwards and her face bright red, "ACK!" She screamed
Tohru's face was bright red as she clutched her eyes and turned towards the wall, "EKK!"
Yuki said calmly as he started to dress and all he had left was his jacket shirt, "It seems it didn't take long to change back that time…"
Sora stood up and said as she looked at him, "Yuki, your tie is crooked."
Tohru then brushed past her sister and said as she started to tie his tie making Sora's eye twitch, "That surprises me. It's my turn to help you." Tohru said.
'Why that little….stupid Tohru! I was going to do that! …Wait….why is it such a big deal…probably cuz I usually help Yuki with that stuff…' Sora thought
"If normal people knew your secret it would sicken them and they'd stay away." Yuki remembered Akito's words but said, "Sora-san, Honda-san…you're both not sicken of me?"
"Nope I'm fine" Tohru said happily
Sora's eye twitched at her sister's supreme idiocy but said to Yuki, "Yuki why would I be sicken of you? Your not a freak."
Yuki looked at Sora with wide eyes as her eyes were averted.
"…Hey do you two want to walk home together?" Yuki asked
"Okay!" Tohru said happily.
Sora just nodded eyes still averted.
Yuki blushed slightly as he looked at Sora but eyes were glazed a bit, "Will you still be my friend?"
"Thank you." Yuki said as they started to walk home Yuki on Sora's left side as Tohru was on her right.

Yuki opened Shigure's office and said, "It looks like Shigure isn't back yet."
The three of them arrived home and Sora and Tohru said, "We are going to put our stuff into our rooms."
Sora nodded to Tohru who went into her room and closed the door.
Sora then headed up the stairs to her room her school jacket over her left shoulder showing her white shirt and her back pack hanging over her right shoulder as she entered her room she blinked at what she saw, "Eh?" she said.
Kyo was on a ladder biting a piece of duck tape off a roll, Sora then looked up at the ceiling to see a patch job.
"It's just a patch job. That should keep the rain out. Call a pro if you don't like it." Kyo said.
'So I've finally met the cat…Too bad orange top hates me and Tohru…' Sora thought.
"HEY!" Kyo yelled his back facing Sora.
"Yes?" Sora said shocked at the suddenness of his yell.
"When I get mad….I get in a rage…I can't see what my training is around me…wasn't enough. I still lost to that damn Yuki." Kyo said gripping the tape.
Sora blinked at him as Tohru entered the room and froze as she saw Kyo and Sora and stayed silent and listened to the conversation.
"So that's why…this morning….This morning! I'm Sorr--" Kyo said blushing brightly gripping the tape hard.
"I'm HOME! Yuki-kun, Tohru-kun, Sora-chan, I'm home! Oh and let's not forget stupid-clumsy Kyo-kun. Who-lost-yet-another fight!"" said the sing song voice of Shigure.
"FORGET IT!" Kyo yelled stomping away blushing madly.
Sora dropped her stuff and went after Kyo eyes wide, "But?! Wha?!" she said actually baffled as he stormed off.Shigure and Yuki then entered the living room and stared at Sora and Tohru, Tohru sitting on her knees on the floor and Sora leaning against the window.
Shigure then started to speak, "Good news. As long as she keeps our secret, Sora-chan and Tohru-kun can stay." He said
"We won't be punished?" Sora and Tohru asked surprised.
"Punished?! But you both absolutely keep our secret kay?" Shigure said
"Okay!" Sora and Tohru said eagerly.
We won't lose our memories!
Sora was smirking and Tohru was smiling happily.
"There is one more thing….He wants KYO-KUN to stay here too." Shigure said
Kyo turned around the bruise under his left eye still there his eyes narrowed and he said angrily, "WHAT? I have to live under the same roof as that damn YUKI?!"
"Don't blame me. Akito-san's word is law." Shigure said blankly.
"YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME, AKITO!!" Kyo yelled in out rage.
"I knew there'd be a catch," Yuki said as he turned his head slightly to glance at Sora who was smiling down at Tohru then to glare at Shigure, "But to involve Sora and Tohru…you and Akito aren't scheming anything are you?" he accused
Shigure averted his eyes sweating slightly as he started to remember what he and Akito talked about, "I'll trust those two. Sora-san and Tohru-san…This may even prove fortuitous for Yuki and Kyo…and me…Yuki does have good instincts but still…proceed with caution…heh…" Akito said.
"Noooo…don't be silly! Really Yuki-kun you must learn to be more trusting if people…" Shigure said.
"Excuse me…" Sora and Tohru said, Tohru started to bow as Sora stood next to her arms crossed over her chest.
"Um…it's strange to say this again…We are at your mercy…Thank you once again for taking care of us." Sora and Tohru said together
Yuki stared at them blank eyed, he then turned and stared at all wall his right arm holding his left shoulder, "Yeah…our mercy"
Sora then bowed to Kyo taking Yuki and Tohru by surprise because Sora never bows to anyone, "We…no I am in your dept too…Kyo-san." She said.
Kyo then lashed around angrily, "WHY SHOULD I VE BICE TO ANYONE IN THIS…," BAM! Yuki round house kicked Kyo and he flew out the shojo door, "House?!"
"I JUST FIXED THIS DOOR!" Kyo yelled.
"Fix it again." Yuki countered back.
"MAYBE I WILL!" Kyo yelled back
"We gave away your room sleep on the floor." Yuki said
"WHAT!!!" Kyo yelled.
Sora and Tohru sweat dropped at Kyo and Yuki.
And that was how….We Sora and Tohru Honda, were taken into the care of the Sohma family.
