This is based off the anime, not the manga. Yes, I HAVE watched the show and yes I know the characters may be OOC a bit; this is a twist on the normal scheme of things. And yes, I have read SOME of the manga. No, I don't intend to read more. This is the way I have written the story; take it or leave it. Thank you.

The sun was bright, reflecting off the snow outside. Students sit at tables as they chat away with friends. It was the end of the last day before break for South High.

A teenage girl was sitting alone at a table. Her short brown hair just reached her shoulders. Her looks made her an outcast in her American high school, seeing as her origin of birth was in Japan. Leaning back, stretching out her back revealed what she was working on. A pencil and large eraser were resting on the hard surface next to a drawing notebook. She turned her soft brown eyes to the paper.

"I hate waiting for Savanna to get out of club. It always takes forever to get home, stupid carpool." She sighed as she lowered herself onto the paper to continue her work. She was finishing the final details on the two teen boys.

She took a deep breath as she held back the tears. It had been almost a decade since she last saw her best friends back in Japan. She only had her memories to work off of, but even those were getting fuzzy over time. She did what she could, making the picture out to be how her friends would look now.

"It's been awhile, Miss Kaiyo," a male voice spoke up.

The girl looked up to see copies of her drawings standing right before her. She never even heard footsteps approaching her. She looked dumbfounded at the pair before her.

"Yo, Kai," Kyo greeted.

The two teen boys stood before, all grown up from the last time she had seen them. They were both tall, about the same height. Yuki still had the same dark grey hair and matching eyes. Kyo's hair was shorter than last time, with matching color eyes as well. Not much had really changed.

"Don't you remember us?" Yuki questioned her.

She only managed to nod her head in agreement. She couldn't believe that her one wish had been granted. She rubbed furiously at her eyes; making sure that the scene before her wasn't a mirage.

"Then why are you over here sitting alone?" Kyo asked.

Kaiyo finally found her voice, "You see…I mean…" she stumbled over her words.

Yuki looked the girl over, "Are you ok?"

She simply nodded her head yes. No one was looking over at her like she was insane, talking to nothing. So they were really here.

"Then say something, damn it!" Kyo shouted a little too loud, "I mean…"

A smile cracked on her face, "It's ok."

Yuki sat down on the other side of the round table, "Why are you sitting here alone?"

"I'm just waiting for my ride to come and pick me up."

"So you're here, waiting each day?" Kyo inquired.

"Well the other person I ride with doesn't get done with club until four."

Yuki was bound to change the subject; it seemed she didn't like talking about her carpool. "It is good to see you after all of these years."

"Yeah, it's been almost eight years."
