Chapter Two- A Startling Chance

As the early morning sun broke over the small wooded area outside Sohma property, a brown head was already bobbing around outside. Closer inspection revealed the head to belong to a boy, a high school boy by the look of it. His large brown eyes watched the sky change colors as he straightened his school tie. Well, Ive got some time before school. Dad always said a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. He smiled; turning to close the flap on his tent then shouldered his backpack and walked deeper into the woods.

Meanwhile, only a little bit away for the boy, a not so tranquil morning was ensuing.
Thats was MY toast!
You snooze, you lose, kitty.
I am SO sick of your stupid, arrogant smiled! Im going to wipe it off your face right here and now!
Id like to see you try. Two girls were face to face, one holding a slice of toast in one hand, glossy black hair loosely falling in waves to her shoulders, the others hands clenched in tight fists, blue streaked hair reaching the middle of her back.
A younger girl sat at the table, ignoring the fight with her nose firmly glue in a book. She looked up for a moment, rolling her hazel eyes.
Would you two imbeciles chill? Its just TOAST for crying out loud.
Shut it, Melody! The toast-less girl said, choosing that moment to aim a punch at the other girls head. Kimiko, however, was ready, and ducked under Yuris guard, delivering a devastating kick. Yuri lifted from the ground, sailing through the paper door.
Kimiko&Yuri&A young, grey haired man appeared in the broken door frame, Must you destroy my house constantly for such trivial reasons? Melody wasnt paying attention to him, and had instead gotten up, and was looking outside.
Um&J-Jaden? She said, pointing outside to where Yuri was still laying on the ground and a very surprised boy was staring down at her. Jaden immediately ran out towards the boy.
Hello! We dont get visitors here very often? To what do we owe the pleasure? he smiled, cocking his head happily. The boy smiled back, but crouched quickly back down, looking at Yuri with concern.
Is she going to be okay?
Shell be fine, Kuhero-san. The boy looked up at the girl addressing him. Seeing who it was, Kuhero hastily got up, brushing dirt off his navy-blue pants.
Sohma-san! he said, bowing low.
Nice of you to join us Kimiko. Melody said wryly to the girl, now fully dressed in her school uniform with her hair braded and toast finished. Jaden, however, was now seated near Yuri, talking animatedly to Kuhero.
So you know Kimi-kun? Thats exciting! Im her cousin, Jaden! Thats me! So, how do you know Kimiko? Do-
Knock it off; you scare people. Yuri had stood up and landed a hard smack to the back of Jadens head.
Melodyyyyy! Yuri is hitting meeee! Melody rolled her eyes and went back to reading.
You and addullllt! Deal with it yourseeeelf! Ive got to meet Cho and head to school. She turned around and headed up the path, book still in front of her eyes.
Damn that girl is annoying. Yuri said, shouldering her backpack. Noticing Kuhero for the first time, she glanced at him, What are you looking at? she snapped.
Oh&er&nothing! Kuhero said, backing away. I cant believe it, dad, He thought, Kimiko Sohma, one of the most popular girls in school, and Yuri Sohma, one of the most athletic, live here, not two blocks away from my tent!
Now, now, dont be rude, Yuri. I think you scare people more than me! Jaden said, but when electricity crackled in the air around her, he smiled worriedly and ran back towards the house. Well, Kimiko, Yuri-have fun at school. He waved and slammed the door behind him, the effectiveness of the statement lost by the large hole in the middle of it.
Yuri was still glaring at the boy, toast situation forgotten, Well? What are you still here for? Kimiko sighed and touched Kuhero lightly on the shoulder.
Since youre already here, why dont you walk home with us? she asked, still staring ahead at the road.
Uh, um, okay& Kuhero stammered. Yuri made a sound like an angry cat, but followed the two up the path.

(A/N: Rejoice! The second chapter is up and the only Sohma I need is the Rooster! If you have two or more characters, dont go sign up for anymore. So, yeah, time for the contest announcements! So, cover designs. Yeah. I dont have a scanner, so its up to you guys to design covers. You can do all of the characters or one of them, it doesnt matter. The time limit is when I only have one chapter left (Ill warn you), and I promise, soon other Sohmas will popping up! ^^)
