Chapter 4: Someone to Trust

After her few hour slumber, Jailene realized the time from her Chococat alarm clock , it was 6:37. Oh crap! I hope I didn't oversleep dinner time! She thought as she jumped from her bed and made her way downstairs.
"Oh, Jailene!" said Tohru sitting in front of the table while watching t.v and drinking some tea. "I'm glad you're awake! Did you have a good nap?" She asked in betwwen sips. " Yea, thanks to you guys! The bed feels bangin! and I was pretty exhausted, being in an airplane for hours and hours takes the energy out of anyone." She answered.
"So... what are ya doing?" She asked Tohru, letting curiosity get the best of her. "Oh, just drinking some tea." She smiled, "I have to start dinner soon but my body felt like it needed a few minutes of relaxation." "...oh" Jailene randomly stated. She decided to lay on her side next to Tohru.
"... Say, Um, Tohru-kun?'
"Yes?"
"Isn't it a little bit akward?"
"What is?" Tohru then shifted her attention from hertea to Jailene. "Well, It's just that all of this, it all happening so fast! ... I mean, one minute I'm at home chillin' with my girls, chatting with boys online, just doing my thing. And the next... I'm unpacking my luggage in my new room, in my new home, In a new country. ...I don't know. I just feel strange, something so extravagant like this happening to me! So this is where you come in... I'm not too sure that this is true, so can you please... pinch me?"
An awkward silence filled the airas Tohru stared at Jailene (with beady anime eyes) then during the silence, Tohru randomly lightly pinches Jailene's arm.
more silence.
"...Ok. So I guess this is pretty real."
"Pretty much...''
"Uh, huh."
"Yea..."
"...So where are the guys?"
"Oh, Yuki is at a student counsil meeting, explaining why we couldn't attend school. Shigure went to visit Ayame to invite him for tomorow. And um, let's see... oh, and Kyo is out training somewhere." Jailene looked at Tohru, only getting like 1/2 of the information she was given.
"Uh, who's Ayame?'' She asked, reminding Tohru that she hasn't even been there for 12 hours. "Oh yea! Gomen Jailene-san!" Tohru got up and walked to the kitchen indicating Jailene to follow her. She began to explain everything as she set the kitchen up for her cooking. Jailene sat herself on top of the counter next to the sink.
"Well," Tohru began as she took started cuting a fish in half. "Ayame is Yuki's brother. He's a very wonderful person! You'll meet him and the rest of the juunishi tomorow!"
"Wait, what's tomorow?" Jailene accidentally interupted. "Well tomorow is Sunday, and since there's no school tomorow, and since, well, everyone wants to meet you, we will be having a cookout in our backyard!We all want to celebrate your arrival!It'll be somuch fun!" Tohru got so excited, she almost cut off her finger due to the distraction. She squeaked at the shock.
"Whoa!" Jailene jumped to the floor and walked over to her, just to make sure nothing happened. "Pay more attention when your using knifes!" She laughed. "So, there's gonna be a cookout... in my honor!" Jailene seemed pretty suprised. "But why? I mean... I'm nobody special! I'm just an outcast, a cat!" She said like if what she meant was venom going down her throat.
"Don't think like that Jailene!" Tohru almost cried. She turned to her. "You are very special to this family! Not only are you and Kyo the 2 Cats at the same generation, which is something that can possibly help in some way," Her gaze softened from sad, to kind and calm, "But you are a very special person! I am so blessed to meet someone like you! And so is everyone else! I really mean it! Don't put yourself down. You and Kyo are both terrific, I really don't want to see you put yourself down for a reason that does not exsist! All of us are special! Kyo-kun is special too! And Sohma-kun and Shigure-san!"
Jailene looked at her. She just realized what a wonderful person Tohru is. She was so kind-hearted. And it was so obvious that seeing people sad broke her heart and she just wanted to show how much affection she had towards anyone. Jailene has never met someone like Tohru. And she just met her that same day!
She realized what Tohru had meant and softly smiled at her. "you're so sweet!" Tohru beamed instantly and hugged Jailene. "You know what?" Jailene broke from the hug. "what?" Asked Tohru. "Me and you, we really need ta get ta know each other! So one of these nights, we're doing a girl's night out! How's that sound? Manicures! Ad I can give pedicures, facials, I can hook ya up w/ clothes, junk like dat! Whadda ya think?" Tohru grinned and nodded. "That would be so cool! Thank you Jailene!"
"...anyways, what are ya cooking?" Jailene asked as Tohru. "Oh I'm making Salmon. But I know you don't really like seafood, so what would you like?" She asked Jailene, trying to be a good host. " Jailene shrugged and shooked her head. '' It's all good. I haveta get used to Japanese culture if I'm gonna live here." Jailene got up from the counter and took a sniff of the food. "Besides! Your cooking is pretty awesome!" She smiled at Tohru.
"Thank you! But it's nothing really. I'm just so blessed to be living in this house with them! They gave me a home, they gave me trust with their secret, and I learned more about life living with them and getting to know the family. They are just so wonderful!" Tohru smiled warmly remembering her new family.
"See, and that's why we need a girl's night out!" Jailene commented. "There's so much we have to talk about! I want you to be a great friend! And since we're the only girls here, we can talk about the cuties here!" Tohru smiled. She was so glad thing between her and Jailene were going great already.

After the guys showed up, diner was already served. Jailene had ... somehow... ended up having to sit next to Kyo. Him not noticing that minor detail, yet, gave everyone a weirdexpression when he saw a smiley wiley Jaileneas she sat on the table and saw everyone else looking to the sky whistling (making it SO obvious).
Jailene seperated her two chopsticks, oblivious to the 3's plan, and began digging her way to the bottom of the sobe noodle bowl.
"Ne, Jailene-chan?" Shigure drew out her attention."Yes Shigure-chan?" She responded with her mouth full. "I don't remember mentioning about our small celebration that is being held tomorow, but-""Oh, the cookout? Yea, I already know about it! Thanks so much!" She smiled and started eating some salmon.
"But I start school monday, right?" She asked. "Yes, Jailene-chan." Yuki answered. "But arent we supposed to wear uniforms here?" She asked again.
"You see Jailene." He began, "I'm the class prsident, and today I attended a meeting and explained of your coming. But since tomorow is Sunday, it will not be possible to pick up your uniform. Besides, you need to get fitted and all that. So monday you will be excused from wearing a uniform as well as Tuesday. And on Tuesday afternoon, we will take you to get your new uniform.
"Oh... ok!" She understood and sipped a bit of her tea. Kyo looked at Jailene. He frowned. He was so mad, he couldnt explain the disappointment he felt. I got all excited for THIS? This girl might as well admit that she is a poser right here and now! She has been all happy wappy since she got here! ... nothing like how I imagined her... nothing like me...
He realized her arrival was too good to be true. There's never no one that will be just like him for that person to understand him first hand. Plus not only that! Her hair was dark brown! Not orange!
He just managed to keep his cool, barely. He just walked silently away and headed to the roof.

After dinner and volenteering to help with the dishes, Jailene decided on taking a shower. As the warm water splashed on her body, a thought entered her mind.
What's really good? I'm not acting like my self... i mean... I'm not a big meanie... but I don't always act this happy!... only once in a blue. And I don't want the Sohma's all suprised when randomly I bust out onaB.F! I'm not ALWAYS a perfect little prep... My wild side could pop in anytime... they should know... Besides! they shoukd understand! ...They DO live with Kyo! HAHAHA!
After her shower, she walked to the living room and noticed everyone relaxed sitting on the living room table trying to stay warm from the chilly night. Then Yuki noticed the difference in her outfit, her navy blue P.Js with baby blue outlining, a blue Eeyore sitting on the floor with the words 'chillin' under him. and the same words on the shorts, and realized that she already took a shower and that it's his turn now.
He was about to get up when Jailene sat him down with her words. "Don't get up just yet Yuki." She said seriously. He sat ack down to his spot kind of worried as to why Jailene's mood has suddenly changed.
"Is anything the matter Jailene?" Shigure asked. "Well, I need to talk to you guys about something concerning... me." She sat down facing all three of them. "You guys know that I'm possesed with the cursed spirit of the cat right." She looked at all threeof them expecting nods, and after recieving them she continued. "Well, you see, I've noticed that excitement has gotten the best of me and I've been acting very... well um... um... how do I put this... nice."
The 3 sweatdropped and stood in a very comical/awkward silence. "But Jailene," Tohru said breaking the silence, "You're such a great person! why would you be ashamed of being nice?" She asked. "But you see. This isn't who I really am! I mean, I am not a big meanie or anything like that. But I'm most definetly not no lil prep either! I get real happy but I tend to get angry for the sumbest stuff. I just want you all to understand that. Because I don't wanna leave a horrible impression when I start flippin." She stopped for a moment, trying to finda better way to explain herself. "I'm just trying to warn you guys. I have a very bad, dominant attitude. I'm not perfect and I make it pretty obvious. So please try to understand and bear with me." She bowed her head.
A 5 second silence after that ended with Shigure's indispicable laughter. "Oh my dear Jailene!" You don't have to worry about abything like that! Heck! I was getting worried, you acting a little too nice! Now I know for sure that you have a bitch in you! hahahahaha!" He just kept on laughing. She felt kind of awkward, not really expecting that kind of reaction. Come to think of it! She didn't even think of how they'd react! "So... you guys are iight with it?" She asked making sure. "Of course!" Yuki assured her, "I mean we wouldn't be suprised. We DO live with Kyo!"
Jailene smiled warmly, thankful for the fact that her predicaments did not occur. "Say... where is Kyo anyway?" She asked, knowing that she wanted to talk to him the most... for some strange reason, she felt like he was mad at her wich brought her to talk the Sohma's about her situation. "He's probably somewhere lost or whatever." Yuki said getting up. "Yea, he'd prefer to keep his distance form us most of the time." She nodded and headed to her room.

"Uhm... nah this won't do!...hm...It's something...um... let me check on this one later... Ill! this is not something for a cookout! urg!"
Jailene talked to herself while raiding her closet for a good outfit for the cookout. She started dancing and singing to the music she was listening to.
Up on the roof Kyo was blank expressioned thinking God knows what. Suddenly he feels a bass from under him and then stats hearing music. He didn't know what the words meant but he had to admit... the beat was sick! He finally relaxed his nerves and layed back on the roof and nodded his head to the music.
A few minutes later, the music had just stopped. Kyo came back from his lil relaxantion bubble and felt like going back down. While going down the ladder he remember that he had to pass Jailene's window.
Maybe if I move the ladder... Kyo thought to himself, she wont see me... but not befor falling and busting my ass...Ah, but what the hell? WHO CARES IF SHE SEES ME!
More music started blasting and kyo heard it right when he was infront on the window. Damn cats always letting curiosity get the best of them!
His practicly went bug-eyed when he saw Jailene in almost booty shorts dancing slowly to the floor, satisfying the tempo of the music and dancing in a good upbeat. Too bad she was not facing him because she just gave him a lovely view of how we do it in da club!
Right when Jailene grinded to the floor, right back up and dancing her ass off she turns and jumpsin shock.
Kyo's expression was... unreadable... but Jailene just smirked and walked to her window where he was clinging to the ladder.
"Normally my first instict would be to punch you off the ladder..." She began as she got face-to-face with him, "But..." Kyo gulped. It all got quiet for a second "Since it is you..." She finshed with a sly smile. he grabbed his hand and pulled him in through the ladder.She had used full force on the diesel Kyo and when he finally fell into the room he landed on top of her.
Silence fell in the room for what seemed like an eternity. Their eyes locked on one another's. Their faces flushed inmensly. Then when you'd think things could'nt get more obvious, the music changed to a slow Doo wop acapellic beat.Doo Um da do do do do doop
After techincally more or less 3 minutes faster music started playing when Jailene returned from Lala land. Kyo cluelessly blinked a few times before remembering what had just happened.
"You comfty?" Jailene joked as she pushed her weight up and balanced it on her two elbows.
Kyo rolled his eyes and shifted his weight to the bottom as he placed his hands on the floor and get up due to the floor's support. Jailene got up as well and walked to her pile of clothes as she continued getting clothing and throwing them around.
"So..." She began as she looked at herself in the mirror with a shirt over her chest. Kyo just stood there with a pissed off look... considering that it is Kyo and that. "What do you want!"
"...Excuse me?" Jailene's smile instantly disappeared. "Obviously I wanted to know why you'r in here and checking out through my fuing window! Now I don't give 3 damns if you got an attitude problem! But Don't Fuing come up to me throwing that shit on me! Cuz I ain't none of these people from around here! I ain't taking no bull shit from NOBODY and if you expect me to take it from you... think again!" She was ALL UP IN HIS FACE!
"And by the way," she continued, "just because me and you have a lot to handle considering our lives and what-not, don't expect me---" "That's where your wrong!" Kyo cut her short. "You are such a damn poser! You acted so cheesy and preppy, I bet you anyone could tell that!" He snapped back. "Oh yea? Well just because I'm suffering from the damned cat, does not mean I have to hold a grudge from my new housemates that are here to help me! Or from any damn other person who pops up in my life! And judging from what your telling me you expect me to be some rebellious, wanna-be toughie O-G to everyone I see... but guess what... I'm not you!" She screamed the last 3 words out to him. It was all quiet for a second then Jailene felt something.
She sat herself on the bed with an expression sure to show anyone how shoe she was. She sat there in thought for a minute. After a while they both calmed down, and Jailene told Kyo to sit next to her. She seemed serious so he just did, wondering why all the strange nonsense.
"Uhm... Kyo..." She began, trying to find a way to explain. "I don't really know how to explain this. But It's just that it's been eating away at me ever since I got here."
Kyo just stared at her, not sure of what to do besides listening to her.
"It's just that..." She started, "All my life I've lived a wonderful life. I have never let my curse bother me or the way that I am. I never had reasons to hold a grudge against anybody because I was so loved by my family. There was always some exceptions holding me back from living a normal life however... but that has never bothered me. Because I always knew that there were people on this earth living it worst than me and I was pretty lucky."
She hesitated for a moment before continuing. "But... ever since I could remember, I always felt the darkest emotions inside of me... which kinda resulted in random tantrums and bad attitudes. I just never had any reasont o feel that way!..."
But what does this have to do wiht anything? Kyo asked himself. "But recently... like since last year... Ive been feeling warmer emotions. Not constantly but in every good once in a while. Till this day I've felt nothing but Grief, sorrow, hatred, pain, every dark emotion anyone can think of... and I never knew why. I knew I must've had something to do with this curse... which is another reason why I came. ... When I came here the feelings inside of me... right then and there I knew they weren't mine... But today they just became so much storinger... I could practicly read them! And at dinner time I felt a... pretty crappy emotion... it made me feel bad because I elt hated... and when I looked into your eyes the time you gave me my charm bracelet... I felt... i sensed a feeling that just made me wanna embrace you."
Jailene looked at Kyo and and smile crept across her face. "Kyo... I realized today that this whole time... all my life... I was having someone in my heart trying to find somebody to turn to when they didn't have any one else... I felt like I needed to be the shoulder to cry on but there was noone to cry... But now I now... all this time... I felt you..."
And she was right...
Kyo was in total silence. All these emotions filled his head up and he didn't know what to think, what to say, how to react. He just knew she was right! And he was so glad that he finally new that someone and her were in the same page. Knowing his soul was Jailene. In an instant he grabbed her and embraced her in a soft but firm hug. Jailene went in suprised for a second but her eyes softened to his touch as she returned his hug.
"I..-I felt you to... Jailene" Jailene's eyes widened. Then she tightened the hug. "I always felt something good in my heart. It was the only thing that kept me alive and from killing myself. I'm guessing it was you."After the hug broke they looked at each other and smiled.
"I'm glad your here." Kyo said. Jailene gasped in suprised. Kyo never seemed the type of guy to even ever say something like that. "What happened?" Kyo asked. "I'm just glad you just said that to me!" Jailene responded, "Because I can tell that for a fact your not that type of guy."
"I'm not." Kyo said smiling. "But your not like any of these other people." Jailene's eyes brightened. "I'm so happy you feel that way about me! I want you to be the one person I can trust to tell just about anything! Someone who will know that something is wrong despite me telling you that everything is fine."
Jailene took out her hand and asked,
"Some one to trust?"
Kyo smiled and shook her hand in a deal.
"Some one to trust."
