A Two Sided Mirror: sequel to Two side of the Same Quarter
Hey everyone I'm back!
Kyo: No! and just when I was relaxing, I thought you said it'd be a while till you start this up?
Katt: It has been a while
Kyo: I didn't mean for it to be this quick
Katt: But I did, so before I forget, no I do not own Fruits Basket, but I do own the Tzusaki family, so ask before borrowing them, remember it's a disclaimer so no one takes my characters without asking, ok.
Yuki: so who's all going to be in it?
Katt: Well of course you, Tohru, Karla, Hatori, Kyo, Chase, Momiji, Ruka, Hatsuharu, Kitty and Uyo and Hana, but I'm going to see if I can have Kisa and a family member that has her zodiac, Hiro and the family member for his zodiac and...maybe Ritsu and the family member for that zodiac and maybe even the rooster of the Tzusaki family will be in it, I'm not sure yet.
Kyo: What, but that would mean more mayhem if Ritsu is in it, especially if one of the Tzusaki family members is like him!
Katt: That's exactly why I would put them in, So ladies and Gents, a warning ahead of time...yes there will be more mayhem and chaos...more romance...more humor...hopefully and yes there will still be sexual content and foul language in this...wait foul language (laughs)
Kyo: that...was lame and what do you mean the rooster from the Tzusaki family might be in it?
Katt: Oh don't worry, the rooster from the Tzusaki family is much different then from your familys rooster...a lot, so ladies and Gents before I forget...I do not own " The Phantom of the Opera" but I do have the movie on widescreen edition and the cd...I love it... so ok, now on with the show!
That morning after the dance, Tohru and Yuki came down from the roof to hear a shocked Kyo at the news.
" What, Shigure you idiot!" said Kyo. " What's going on?" said Yuki. " Ahh, Yuki so that's where you and Tohru have been all morning, we'll you see last night...well it turns out" said Shigure before he got interrupted. " I'm pregnant" said Lore at last. Tohru's eyes lit up as Yuki sighed. " Oh Lore...I'm so happy for you!" said Tohru. " You idiot, why didn't you use protection the last time" said Yuki. " We did, we figured it must of broke during the time, so now... I'm pregnant" said Lore. " Well does Karla know yet?" said Yuki. " No, I hadn't been home since you guys left for the dance last night" " Well I guess we better make a trip to Karla's place and explain" said Shigure. Tohru and Yuki went on to change then they all went on and headed for Karla's.
In the mean time a scream was heard as far as the entire Tzusaki family could hear from the news. " Trete, you!...you and Ayame...are...Oh that's great!" she squeals with excitement. " Tha'ts great that your getting married" said Karla. " Yes I was so surprised when Ayame proposed to me last night" " I bet, but...what about Akito?" " Well Ayame said what Akito doesn't know won't hurt us" " But then...you two won't be together like a married couple, because I doubt Akito would let Ayame move out" " Yes, we've thought about that, that's why sometime either this week or next week he plans on asking Akito for permission to move out, as far as Hatori has told us, Akito still doesn't suspect of you being anywhere near this city, so your safe". Karla didn't look really convienced about that, but looked at the time. " Oh...I got a buisness meeting with the Manga/Anime Company today" can tell since she was wearing her navy blue matching jacket and skirt and a white blouse with an emerald pendent and her matching earrings. Her hair put up into a bun with two white chosticks to hold it up. " Oh, I see, well good luck with it" said Trete. Karla smiles alittle, picks up ber brief case and finds a car outside waiting for her. It was Hatori who was going to give her a ride to the building.
When they got there, there was reporters everywhere. " My public awaits, thank you for taking me Hatori" " no problem Karla, call my house when your meeting is over" " alright, see you then" and she kisses him on the lips and goes on out of the car and heads to the doors where reports and cameras were just taking her pictures as she's pushing her way inside and finally makes it in and security making sure they can't get past. Hatori sighs and smiles, happy to see she made it through unharmed and left.
In the time being, back at the Sohma house, Akito was sitting all alone in his room, with what looks to be a scrap book. Looking at a few old pictures of when he was younger...and Karla and her family lived here in Japan. He had the tv to watch the news. " And today on the news Karla Tzusaki; richest and well respected Teenage girl from both Japan and America comes in today for a meeting at the Manga/Anime company, though our reporter tried to get an interview with her, I guess she had other things along with her meeting on her mind" said the Male reporter. He sighed and closed the Scrap book and hide it somewhere, then turned the Tv off. He got up and stood outside, holding himself up. Then Kureno came in. " Kureno?" " Yes Akito?" " I need you to check up something for me" " Yes, what is that you want me to look up" he said nothing, but Kureno took the hint. " Alight, I'll grab a newspaper for you and cut out any information about Karla Tzusaki that I can find" " Thank you" Kureno bowed and left, leaving Akito there sulking to his own memories of Karla.
After the meeting Karla called Hatori and went outside to wait, looking exhausted from the meeting. She takes off her jacket and ties it over her waist and carrying her briefcase over her shoulder. " Man what a long day this has been and to think it was just over those five simple little matters" she sighs as she leans against the wall, till someone wearing all black outfit comes up. " Hello...Karla" she didn't even move, nor open her eyes, she knew that half-hearted, cold, cruel voice...it was noneother then Akito, who somehow found her. " Hello Akito" Karla was being serious now, she didn't move, she didn't bother opening her eyes, with her hearing and feeling his aura, she knew exactly where he was and what kind of mood he was in. He was in a playful tormentive mood, which she wasn't and was quiet tired and serious now. " So your a buisness woman and hadn't even graduated from high school, I wonder if anyone really knows who you are" said Akito. " They know I'm Karla Tzusaki; a trustworthy,strong-willed, caring, blunt-honest person who would do anything for the people I care about" " Yes, but what about two years ago...you were weak and harmless, you were nothing more then a helpless little witch with a big responsibility that obviously you couldn't handle on your own" Karla smiled and stood up straight and looked at him straight in the eye with a serious loon on her face, which scared Akito for a moment. " You know Akito...your right" he looked at her surprised, not really expecting that response or for her to say that with a straight face. " I wasn't ready for the major responsibilty of taking on my family alone and yes I did ask for hel and yes, back two years ago I was weak and helpless, because I never expected a friend to hurt me, but I was wrong then, and I'm grateful for living in America; where it gave me the strength and will power to face my enemies and the ability to defeat them in anyway I can, yes I was helpless and harmless but being over there two years has changed me, you don't know me as well as you think anymore."
He smiled and looked at her. " Well then lets test that theory out" he starts charing at her, about ready to punch her when...she grabbed his fist tightly in her hand and knees him the stomach, bringing him off the ground a good three inches and then pushes him back. She tosses her jacket and briefcase over. " You want a fight Akito..." she takes her hair down and lets it flow down her back, which by surprise cause Akito to stare and blush at her. She tosses her chopsticks onto her jacket and gets into fighting position. He snaps out of it and gets into it himself. " Then lets fight!" Then he charges her again. He punches, she dodges...he punches again...she dodges...he punches for the third time, she dodges and does an upper cut on him. He spin kicks her and she blocks it. She does a side kick and knocks him down. He charges at her again, but gets too close and almost hits her in the stomach till she blocks him by putting her right hand on his forehead and points at his head with her left hand like a gun and when her index finger touched his forehead a small light blue light, like electricity zaps him in the head and knocks him out. Lucky for her Hatori came just in time.
" Akito? what happened Karla?" " He found me here after I called you and again all I was doing was being blunt-honest as he was trying to torment me, which didn't work and he picked a fight to see if I really was strong, well then when he got too close, I accidently knocked him out" said Karla as she helps Hatori carry Akito into the back of the car, putting his jacket over Akito's face so in case he woke up, he didn't see Karla nor where she lived and Karla grabs her stuff and hops into the car and Hatori drives off. " Ok Karla...how did you knock him out?" said Hatori. " Please believe me it was by accident, you remember what Kamiko's power is right?" " Yeah, its illusions and memories" "well she is the dragon and the dragon is one of my secondary firmilers so my power from the dragon is consciousness, dreams and memories, while she can erase memories like you, I only change the memories and make them into an illusion of what I want them to think what happened, plus I can make go unconcious if I ever need to with just a simple hold person, point and zap and that's what I did, I wasn't thinking, I'm sorry" Hatori smiled and layed his hand gently on hers. " Its ok, if he would of seen me then he would of been suspicious of why I was here for you, but does he know that..." " No, I made it sound like I still live in America" " That's good" they made it to Karla's place and before she got out, Hatori asked her one thing.
" Karla you should probably revise Akito's memories and make him think that he was dreaming" " Your right" she grabs her stuff, goes around to the otherside of the car, opens the back door, lifts the jacket up to see Akito still knocked out. She took her pointer finger and index finger from both hands and touched them at his temples and reverted his memory to a dream and went on with it to make it a dream. Bringing up one of his daydreams of her when no one is around, which kind of grossed her out, to have it continue it to be a dream. " There, as gross as his daydreams are, i revised that memory to a dream and added on of his daydreams to it to make it seem more like a dream, and as to the pain he might feel, explain that he was causing it himself, by tossing around and hurting himself making it seem like it was real, that's for when he wakes up" "alright Karla, you take care" he leans out of the car window and she leans down and they kiss for a moment, then she closes the door and Hatori drives off. Karla smiles and gives a sigh of relief of what just happened. When she walked in she hear a commotion in her living room and when she went in, it was Lore, Shigure, Yuki, Tohru, Kyo, Chase and Trete all in there talking.
" Hey you guys, what's going on?" " Oh Karla your home, you look more exhausted then usual after a buisness meeting" said Trete. " Long story, so what's going on here?" " Ok Karla, you may not be happy with me with what I'm going to say" said Lore "Look right now I'm tired, I couldn't get mad even if I wanted to, so what is it?" " I'm pregnant" Karla took a moment to register that into her mind and blinked. " your pregnant... you?... pregnant?" " Uh yes" said Lore. " by Shigure?" " yes Karla" " well then...I say congrads" they all looked at her shocked and confused. " What, after all this time I think it's about time she has a child, especially with the man she loves obviously, that's why I said congrads" Lore's eyes lit up and smiled. " So you mean you support us having a baby?" said Lore. " Yes, I support you two having a baby" said Karla " but now you two have one thing to think about and discuss between you two along with Tohu, Yuki and Kyo...Are you two going to live here or are you two going to live at Shigure's house, just remember Shigure...Lore if you two move here then that means Yuki, Kyo and Tohru will have to keep up with the payments on their own, but if you two move to where Shigure is then well you wouldn't have to worry about payment anyway, but then it might get crowded, especially with the baby when it comes" said Trete Lore and Shigure looked at each other then back at Kyo, Yuki and Tohru. Then Karla gained an idea. " I didn't think I had another idea, but why not just add onto the family community we already got going. Shigure and Lore can have their own place and Yuki, Kyo and Tohru can live here, either that or you can just add on to your house Shigure so you have plenty of room, just think it over and maybe even come up with an idea of your own, maybe, but for now I'm going up stairs, taking a shower and going to sleep" said Karla as she yawned. " But...what about dinner" said Trete and Karla just shouted. " Take out!" " do you want anything?" said Trete " Sure, anything... I don't care, just wake me up in two hours" She huffed herself to the bathroom to take her shower. " Well that's new" said Lore. " Yeah, Karla doesn't normally act like that, even after a buisness meeting" said Trete. " Something must of got to her and it sure wasn't Lore's pregnancy" said Chase.
Then there was a knock at the door. When Trete opened it and let the person it, it was a girl with white hair and black highlights, orange eyes and wearing a little pink dress and socks. " Excuse me, where is sissy Karla?" " Ahh, hello Lena, Karla is showering at this moment and plans on taking a nap, she's alittle cranky from her buisness trip, but if you want, while you wait, I can make you a bowl of icecream, how does that sound?" she smiled and nodded. " Ok good, cause I could use some myself" " Lore, stop talking like a perverted old woman, will ya" said Chase. " Oh...so cold to me, but you know what that just means no icecream for you" and Lore heads onto the kitchen with Shigure as Lena giggles abit. " Grandma's funny" she smiles and giggles abit. " Oh I guess we never explained this one, Lena for some reason never calls us cousins, to her anyone older then Karla is grandma or grandpa and anyone at Karla's age or younger is usually sissy, except for the boys, she calls them by their names, we don't know why, but its cute of her so we let her" said Trete. " Oh, I remember you Lena, you were so little when I saw you last" said Tohru. Lena turned and saw Tohru and right away smiled. " Sissy Tohru!" she goes over and hugs Tohru's arm. " My..she looks just like Kisa, except for the hair of course, but other then that, she could be her twin" said Yuki. " Kisa...Kisa...oh she's the tiger in your family isn't she?" said Lore as she brough Lena her bowl of icecream along with her own. " Yes she is actually" said Yuki. " Makes sense since Lena here is the tiger of our family as well, just not your ordinary tiger" said Lore. " Yes...she's a white tiger, oh the beauty of her fur coat when she transforms into her animal form, but her firmilers human form is just as beautiful, they say that form is just as beautifuls as Karlas when its in its full glory" said Trete as she sighs. " Lena respects Tohru and Karla so very much, so when she's a teenager, not only will she'll have Tohru and Karla mixed in, but will have the looks too, she'll be very beautiful" said Trete.
In the meantime Akito woke up with a fright and a pain in his stomach and notices that Hatori is in ther with him. " So I see your finally awake, that was a pretty bad fall you made" he looked at her confused. " You don't remember, you were walking down the hall to leave somewhere and all of a sudden you just blacked out and hit your stomach against the hall way table. Be glad I saw you otherwise no one would of known and you'd probably still be there, lucky for you nothing was fractured" " I see...so it was only a dream." he looks outside and can tell that even if he were to drive to the airport by now that she'd be on the plane already. " Damn it...my one shot" said Akito. " What seems to be the matter?" " I'll tell you whats the matter, the matter of the fact that I was going to go out and see Karla before she left for America again and I'm pissed cause I lost my one chance of doing so" " Even if you did Akito, what would you have done when you got there and saw her?" " I would of taunted her" he said it with a satisfying smile on his face. " Now take a moment to think, obviously Karla isn't the same girl you knew two years ago, she's a buisness woman, she's meet men scarrier then you, even so I don't think you taunting her would do any good if she can fight back with words, I've listened to her speeches about what companies are going to do what and she's strong-willed" " really...well then, maybe the next time she comes into Japan I should go see her and see how strong-willed she is" he says it with a smile on his face.
In that time Karla finally woke up from her nap to see that her room is dark. She comes down stairs while taking fussing with her hair to be more relaxed and sees that Lore just got the take-out inside. " Hey Lena, be a dear and wake up sissy Karla" " Its ok lena...I'm up" then Lena smiles and runs over to Karla and hugs her. " Sissy, is sissy alright now...she's no longer cranky...right?" " yes Lena I'm no longer cranky...sorry for earlier you guys, I had a running on me earlier" said Karla as her and Lena walked into the dinning room with Lore to see Tohru, Yuki, Shigure, Kyo, Chase and Trete in there. They sit down as Lore puts out the plates and chopsticks for everyone. " Oh so the problems were actually hard when they threw them at you at that buisness meeting of yours?" said Trete. " Not that kind of running, actually it was someone who had a running into me...with their fists" said Karla. " What, who would want to hurt you?" said Lore. " One person and he found me..." " Oh you don't mean..." said Trete. " Yes it was Akito, he found me in front of the building after I got out of the meeting" It stayed silent for a moment. " How? how was that possible?" said Lore. " Reporters, you know that goes and it was probably live too so he got to see me enter" "damn those reporters, ruining everything we've worked so hard to make sure that Akito doesn't find out" said Chase " But that's the thing he doesn't know" they looked at her confused. " He saw me and talked to me and fought me yes, but he still thinks that I live in America, plus now he really thinks that it was all just a dream" " good job Karla, looks like you can take care of things yourself" said Lore " haha, and either way, Hatori said I should since i accidently made him go unconcious" " Way to go Hatori, helping out the one person he loves, but the one person that Akito...um how to put it" said Trete. " Bluntly...he lusts for me" said Karla.
Both Yuki and Kyo drops their chopsticks and looks at her. " Karla, are you sure?" said Tohru. Karla looked sad, but she knew sooner or later she had to tell her. " Tohru, I never really told you the real reason why my mom and the rest of our parents had us move to America, mainly it was because of AKito taunting me, but also... their real reason was so Akito didn't get another chance to try and rape me, like he almost succeeded the last time" they all stopped eating and looked at her. " It was after school, I was walking home after practice and before I knew it I was knocked unconcious, how he got me back to his room I'll never know, but he did and when I woke up, he had me tied up. He slapped me, punched me, trying hard to get me to tell who was it that I fell in love...I never said Hatori...not once and you know who saved me...it wasn't Hatori or Shigure this time, it was you Yuki...and Hatsuharu and Momiji and Kyo. I remember, Yuki and Kyo kept Akito busy and Momiji and Hatsuharu carried me out. You two probably don't remember because I looked so badly injured. A black eye...a bloddy nose and lip...bruised ribs and chest... broken arm...cut up legs...bruised ankles, I was pain from head to toe and I didn't look much either." then Yuki and Kyo thought back and remembered, they thought they were just helping some girl get a way from Akito, they never thought it was Karla, Akito did a number on her and that just made them pissed off. " I remember now, oh Karla believe me if we knew that it was you, we would of taken better care of you instead of hurrying you the car so Hatori could drive and Shigure could take care of those woulds" said Yuki. " Well actually, I was driving Yuki and Hatori was taking care of her. It was after we dropped Karla off at home and made sure that she would be ok did Hatori take over the wheel and picked you boys up, but I guess it was so late that night you couldn't tell either way" said Shigure. " The point is...they saved Karla that night, a night my mother will never forget, she says she can't thank you guys enough for saving Karla" said Trete " So that's why you came to school with a black eye and limping on crouches and a cast on your arm" said Tohru.
" wait , you still went to school?" said Kyo. " The next day, yes she did even though we told her she shouldn't" said Trete. " That's our stubborn Karla for ya" said Lore. " Oh Karla...I'm sorry" Karla looked at Tohru confused. " If I would of know that was what happened...I would of..." but before Tohru could even finish Karla hugged her as best as she can without transforming. " Hey what's done is done and now when I think about it, I think I got some of my pay back on him, just by shocking him and then hurting him and best of all it was all a dream to him" " How do you figure?" said Kyo. " Cause then he'll underestemate her again and next time it'll be worse" said Trete. " Well I guess that's what happens when one of your secondary firmilers is a dragon" said Lore.
They continued to eat and when they were done, Karla couldn't help but get Chase to do their kitchen fun again. Which again was entertaining for them all. Then Tohru, Kyo, Yuki and Shigure went on and left as Karla and them waved good bye. As they went on inside, Lore just couldn't help but ask. " Karla did you think it was best to tell them mom's main reason for us to move?" said Trete. " There was no way around it, I couldn't hide it no longer and besides...in a way, by telling them the truth it was a way to thank them" " ok, i guess, though i think you just saying thank you would of been better" said Trete and Karla just sighed and laughed.
That Monday morning, Karla woke up with a startle, it was one of her dream predictions and sighed, Then thought. " God why me, of all nights I had to have three different predictions, especially that last one...Damn I didn't need to see that, you could of just cut it off when Kyo walked in there but no you had to go further, god now my stomach is turning from that sight" She felt sicks from remembering the last prediction, but didn't have time since she just remembered that she has to leave for school early to see if she can catch the drama teacher today since today was the first years orientaition, so she expect to be able to catch the drama teacher real quick. Then at homeroom during lunch, wondering where Karla was, they hadn't seen her since the drama teacher asked her to come out this morning. " Man, Karla's been gone for a long time, I wonder what's taking her" said Uyo as the bell rang for them to get back to their class, which they really didn't have to go far since they were already in class. When everyone was in class, Karla came in with the teacher and books. " Alright students, Karla is going to be passing you each a script of a opera, we're going to do alittle acting and discuss it today." As Karla hands them each a booklet a student asked. " Phantom of the Opera? what is that about?" " It's an opera that takes place in the 1800's in Paris. Where a man with a deformed face hides himself from the world as he teachers a young chorus girl to sing opera and falls in love with her while she is in love with a childhood friend who's the patron of the theatre" said Karla. " So basically its a dramatic romance with action, right?" said Tohru. " Yes, teacher if you want I can tell them about the characters" said Karla. " Go ahead, after all you did study opera for more then four years" Karla sits up on a stool with her own copy. " Ok, first of all lets pick people to read the parts, as far as the teacher, each day for a week I choose people to play which parts ok, so lets see...for today...to play Raul...the Patron...shall be..." she closes her eyes and starts point her finger till she stops at Yuki. " Well Yuki then shall be reading the part of Raul...now Raul is the romantic hero in this opera who fell in love with his childhood friend at the sound of her voice. So now for Christine; the young chorus girl who moves her way up in the opera world, thanks to the phantom of the opera, so who shall be her. " closes her eyes again and starts pointing and ends up pointing at Tohru.
" Well, by lucky chance you get to read Christine today Tohru, now who...shall be... The Phantom of the Opera; a man though his face is disfigured and hides it behind a mask...he's a genius at music; in writting and at voice, he is Christines unknown opera teacher who sways Christine into his spell at night when no one is around and lures her down to the deep catacomes that's under the opera house known as Opera Populaire. But even a genius can go mad and that is what happens to him, so who shall be our genius mad man today." closes her eyes and starts point and ends up at Kyo. " Well Kyo, looks like you get to be our genius of the play, now lets see who shall be madam Giry...the woman who took care of Christine after her father passed away" Closes her eyes and starts to point and ends at Uyo. " Well this is interesting. Uyo you shall be madam Giry for today, now who shall be the daughter of Madam Giry; Meg, who is also Christines friend and pretty much sister" closes her eyes and starts pointing again and ends at Hana. " Well...Hana...you get to play Meg, and now for the last three parts, who shall be playing the tempermental diva La Carlotta, the annoying loud mouth star of the theatre." closes her eyes and starts to point and ends up pointing at the girl who's the leader of the Yuki fan club. " Well...looks like your the diva for today now for the two owners..." closes eyes one more time and this time points with both hands and ends up pointing at Chase and the Vice President of the student council. " Well looks like you two are the owners of the theatre" " Aww, not again!" said Chase. the students looked at him and looked at him confused. " Oh, I guess I never explained, Karla and Chase both studied Opera and in their Opera study they played a part in the phantom of the opera. Chase was one of the owners of the theatre and Karla was Christine. That's why she knows so much about about this particular opera" said the Teacher. " Yes, ok now that everyone has their parts...there's one thing I forgot to mention...you also have to sing as well...its part of the opera and don't worry I have the cd with me by chance, so ok the people that I randomly picked stand up and everyone else shall be back up so stay awake and keep track with us. Now we will go ahead and skip the part of the auction and go straight to..." flips through the pages. " Ok we shall go to the part where Christine has to prove that she can sing for the Opera that's coming up since Carlotta left after she almost got bashed in the head by a beam, ok.
Everyone flips through and all finds the page Karla is talking about. Karla gets the cd started and pauses it at the part she wants it at. Once everyone was there Karla warned that Tohru sings first so she could be ready. She starts the cd so Tohru can sing. " Think of me...think of me fondly when we say good byeee...remember me...once in a while, please promise me you'll try, when you find, once again you long to take my heart as you please, but when you find a moment spare a thought for me, never said that love was evergreen or as unchanging as the sea, but if you can find a moment then spare a thought for me, think of all the things we've shared and seen, don't think about how it would of been...think of me...think of me waking silent and resigned, think of me..trying to hard..." as Tohru sang, it was like a nightingale singing, then Yuki sang and it was just the same, he sounded wonderful. Though no one ever expected Tohru to be able to sing Opera, especially being able to hit that high note.
It freaked people out more when it was Kyo's turn " See what in shadow i hide, look at your face in the mirror, I am there inside!" it freaked them when he sang that good, but it freaked people out more when Tohru and Kyo sung together. " In sleep he sang to me, in dreams he came, that voice which calls to me and speaks my name, and though i dream again for i now i find the phantom of the opera is there inside my mind!" " sing once again with me, our strand duet, my power over you grows strong yet, and though you turn from me to glance behind, the phantom of the opera is there...inside your mind!" " Those who have seen your face draaw back in fear, i am the mask you wear" " its me they hear" "my/your spirit and my/your voice in one combine, the phatom of the oper is there...inside my/your mind!" they just couldn't believe Kyo could sing like that, nor could they believe that Tohru could hit any higher pitch then she just did,
After class was over and it into homeroom, before the teacher left, Karla had a word with him. " Are you sure Karla?" " Yes...Come on no one can sing like them...they fitted the parts perfectly..to a tea!" " so what do you plan on doing Miss Director?" " Easy...I'm telling the drama teacher and have it posted that Phatom of the Opera is going to be performed and the people the director asks for on the list to come down to the theatre" "this is very sneaky of you Miss Karla" " I know...and it worked" Karla smiles as she heads to the drama room to talk to the drama teacher.
That evening Karla finally came home after doing all the preperations for tomorrow and flops onto cushin they like to call a couch, where Lore saw Karla crash onto. " Aww. busy day i see, you came home late from school, so what's up?" " Trying to get this opera started" Lore tisks at Karla and shakes her head. " Girl you do too much"
" As that maybe true Lore, if I didn't take this task, Tohru would of..." " Let me guess...one of your dream predictions...and your trying to avoid the result of it, so tell me, what happened?" Karla sighs and stands up. " No time...got to schedual rehersals and everything" She went up stairs and straight to her room. Within five minutes Lore heard Karla singing the part of Christine and Lore just shook her head. At that time Hatori and Shigure was walking up to the place to see Lore and Karla and heard her singing. " Well, listen to that nightengale singing" said Shigure. They stayed quiet as they listened. " but promise me that sometimes you wil...think...OF...me" Hatori smiles. Not amazed to hear that she's still good, but no matter how not amazed he is...he's always amazed by her. They walk in and up the stairs, looking for Lore and see's her listening through Karla's door along with Chase. " Are you two spying on her?" said Shigure. " No...were just listening" said Lore. " We haven't heard her sing opera for a while so its a change" said Chase. " Shh, here comes the mirror song." said Lore. " I listen, stay by my side, guide me, angel my soul was weak, forgive me..." they all now listen closely. " In sleep he sang to me, in dreams he came, that voice which calls to me and speaks my name, and though i dream again ,for now i find, the phantom of the the opera is there, inside my mind!... those who have seen your face, draw back in fear, i am the mask you wear... your spirit and my voice in one combine...the phantom opera is there, inside my mind" " Now see this is what I don't get...Karla should be Christine instead of the director, I mean she would of been a shoe in for that part, why didn't she go for being Christine?" said Chase. " Probably because for once she doesn't want to be in the spotlight and give it to someone else, but also...it might of been one of her dream predictions, maybe she saw herself getting hurt and choose to be director to prevent that from happening to herself and from anyone else" said Lore. " Either way...you shouldn't be on the ground, your pregnant, so come on...I'll make you something to eat" said Shigure as he helps her up. Hatori looks back at them as Lore, Shigure and Chase walks down. " Well that certainly is different". He gently opens her door and see's that she's looking out her window as she waits for her part to come up to sing and remembers something.
Flash back:
" Hey Karla...what happens when snow melts?" Karla looked at him and smiled with her cute girlish smile. " It becomes spring silly, oh, but here's a question...when you play a note on a violin, what does it make?" " It makes a sound obviously" " bzz, nope...it makes music, because if everyone played a different note at a different pitch at the right moment with the right stroke of the bow it makes a beautiful sound and when you play more then one simple note together it becomes music.
Flash back over:
He thought to himself after remembering. " Ever since she asked me that question and answered it, i never stopped listening to that simple note that she talked about whenever she played a instrument or when she sang and she always managed to hit that one note perfectl" he listens as she sings again. " That's all I ask of you...all i want is freedom, a world with no more lies and you, always beside me... " then he steps in and sings with her " Then say you'll share one moment...let me lead you from your solitude...say you'll need me with you here beside you, anywhere you go let me go too...that's all I ask of you" she turns around and smiles. They walk up to each other and simply kissed. Then sang the last of the song " anywhere you go let me go too, love me...that's all I ask...of you..." then she turned her sterio off and they went on downstairs, holding hands.
Akito was holding a picture of Tohru and Yuki from the dance, gripping the picture hard in his hand..."Yuki... you will curse the day you did not do!...what I asked of you!" then a flash of a girl being pushed off the balcony and hearing a scream, then...Karla woke up.
She was pale and sweating, clasping her hands over her face to wipe away the sweat. " Damn...not again...this is the third time I've had this prediction and it seems to go further into it too...I know what I must do" she sighs and clasps back onto the bed. She looks at the calender and its already monday again...time seems to go by so fast, then all of a sudden a letter appeared in her room, floating down. She sat up and looked at it confused for a second, then got up and picked it up and smiled. " Oh man, this is a surprise" she was glad to see a letter after its been atleast two months or more. She goes down, dressed in her uniform and saw Lore working on one of her paintings. " Ahh, I see my pregnant cousin got inspired about something" " Hello Karla, say why are you up...its only five-thirty, you don't normal get up till six...let me guess it has something to do with the spring play this year" " Duh, plus...I got a letter" Lore looked at her and smiled with excitement. " From who Karla?" " From Serenity" " Really, well come on what does it say?" Karla smiled and looked at her watch. " Opps sorry I'll have to tell you after I get home, so see you then" grabs a piece of toast, her stuff and runs off, before Lore could say anything. " Hmp...that was so mean of you Karla" she smiled and continued on with her art.
That day, again no one has seen Karla during homeroom and the first half of first period, till there was an announcement over the speakers. "Students when I call your name...please come straight to the drama room...from room 1-D Tohru Honda, Yuki Sohma, Kyo Sohma, Chase Tzusaki, Uyo, Hana, president of the Yuki fan club and mr. vice-president. From 2-B Hatsuharu Sohma, Momiji Sohma, Kitty Tzusaki, and Ruka Tzusaki, all students that I've just called, please report to the drama room, immediatly!" All the students were confused on why of all people would they be called out and even more so all the Sohmas and the Tzusaki's who go to this school.
When they got there, there was no one in the room but a black leather chair facing its back to them. " Come in...come in and please form around the desk" said a voice from the chair as they all formed around the desk, mainly Tohru, Kyo, Yuki and Chase in the front of the desk. " Students...the reason why you were called out of class, wasn't because of a behavior situation of anything...I've simply wanted to tell you that this year...you guys will be in the spring play, well spring opera...and this years director shall be no other than..." then the chair turned around and there...sitting in the chair was...
Cliff hanger! Sorry. but I thought it was best to end here before I went over board and make this entire chapter the story
Kyo: WHat, I can't believe you did that again, as if that wasn't bad enough and who's Serenity!
Katt: you'll see...in the next chapter
Kyo: What, how long will that take!
Katt: hmm, I might start it up tomorrow...(looks at the time) oh, it's already tomorrow, well then I'll just start it when I wake up
Kyo: and who's the director of the opera?
Yuki: I thought it would of been obvious to you by now...your such an idiot
Kyo: what'd you call me?
