Disclaimer- I don't own Fruits Basket and if I did, I would so put this in manga/anime form. And I don't own Maroon 5
Haru's room:
"PLEASE? C'mon Haru! It would be fun!" a raven-haired beauty begged, her dark violet eyes shining while the natural dark purple highlights glinted in the light. She set down her katana and her belt that held her two sais and daggers.
"No it wouldn't. You know how Yuki hates surprises." Haru replied.
"He hates bad surprises, this is a good surprise if you would just go along with it!" she protested.
"Kira, does anyone know that you're here?" Haru asked, avoiding the subject.
"Only Hatori but I made him promise not to tell anyone yet." she answered, smiling broadly.
"She loves it when Akito doesn't know what she's up to…" Haru thought
"It's getting late " he said. " Where are you staying?"
"I'm staying with my friend Jake at his parents' old apartment but he lives kind of far…so can I…?" Kira asked
"Yeah, you can stay here" Haru sighed while Kira gave him a huge hug. He hugged her back, it was rare when he could hug a girl and not change.
"I missed you. How was England?" Haru said quietly
"Oh, it was great!" she said as she search through her duffel bag for some clothes. "Shouldn't we tell Momiji about our plan? You guys still walk to school together right?"
"First of all, this is YOUR plan and if you want to keep you being here a secret then I suggest that we wait to tell him while we're walking to school."
"Haru-chan, you're so mean. Don't you think my idea is good?" Kira pouted as she grabbed some clothes from her bag and headed towards the bathroom.
"I'm going to bed…" Haru said, ignoring her.
"Fine then! Good night!" Kirapouted and stompedoff into the bathroom
"What's Kyo going to say? He probably haven't thought of her since that day… he's going to kill me for not telling him that she's here" Haru thought as he drifted to sleep.
Hatori's office:
"I can't believe she's here… what's Kyo going to say? He was getting better too… so was she" Hatori thought and sighed. He closed his eyes, rubbing his forehead as remembered memories that he thought he left behind.
Flashback:
"Ahh… young love" Shigure said, smiling as he looked out the window at Kira and Kyo who were kissing in the rain. "I'm surprised Akito hasn't found yet…"
"Maybe he has but he's waiting for the right time. A time where it will hurt the most." Hatori said staring at the couple as they broke away from their kiss.
"I hope not! They make such a sweet couple! And Kyo has been so laid-back with Kira in his life now!" Shigure protested.
"That just makes it worse, if Kira found out about the curse and if she leaves him, what would happen? Would Kyo go back to the way he was? Or would he get worse?" Hatori said stoically as he pulled out a cigarette and lighter.
"Forget about Kyo, what would happen to our carefree Kira?" Shigure asked, worried.
End of Flashback
The next day
Haru's room:
"I can't believe you have to wear uniforms!" Kira said with disgust. She sported a casual attire, a black, tight-fitting corduroy jacket with a white ribbed tank underneath that hugged her every curve. She wore a pair of jean short shorts and knee-high, black velvet, shrug boots. To top it off, she wore simple silver hoop earrings and her hair came down in natural waves, all the way down her back. Her katana was strapped to her back and sai belt hung around her hips.
"You do know that it's December, right? Aren't you cold wearing that?" Haru asked as he drank some tea
"No and of course I know it's December. That's why I'm here! To go to the annual New Year's banquet!" Kira exclaimed as she sipped her tea.
"You haven't gone for the past two years while you were in England, why start now?" Haru asked
"Because Hatori's dancing this year." Kira grinned.
"That's a good reason to go… I guess"
"Isn't it?" Kira laughed as she finished off her tea and got up. "C'mon Haru! Let's go!"
"Fine, let's go." Haru sighed. This was going to be bad. Very bad.
Sohma's gateway:
"Momiji!" Kira cried out as she hugged the petite blonde.
"Kira!" Momiji cried back as he hugged her too. Haru just started walking off while he held Kira's duffel bag, leaving them behind while Kira explained her plan to Momiji.
"This is my plan, I'm going to surprise Yuki at school!" she told him.
"That sounds FUN!" Momiji shouted happily while Kira nodded, smiling.
"And I get to meet Tohru Honda!"
"You'll like her! She's really nice!"
"Hey, we're here." Haru said as they enter the school. The boys stared in awe at Kira and a few brave ones walked up to her, hesitantly because of her katana, about to ask her out but Haru quickly put his arm around her and glared at them. The girls just stared jealously and wondered, "Is that another Sohma?" He guided her up the stairs to the third floor along with Momiji.
"How come there's no one here?" Kira asked as she sat on the oversized windowsill.
"Most of the students are still downstairs, talking and waiting for Prince Yuki to arrive." Momiji said.
"Prince? Why?" Kira asked, confused
"Because he's the most handsomest boy in the school." Momiji said.
"He even has his own fan club." Haru said, leaning against the wall.
"Fan club? Isn't that a bit obsessive? Why doesn't he get a restraining order?" Kira laughed.
"Yuki's too nice!" Momiji smiled. "Kira, do you want a lollipop?"
"Yes, a red one, please." Kira said. She unwrapped it and stuck it in her mouth. She then turned to Haru, held out the lollipop and asked, "Do you wanna lick?"
"Thanks." he replied, licking the lollipop.
"You sure Yuki comes here?" Kira asked as she pulled up her legs on to the windowsill and leaned against one side while one leg braced itself on the opposite wall, another bent with her knee sticking up. She looked down and saw people rushing to the entrance.
"The bell's about to ring…" she thought
"Yeah, he's becoming class president and has to make sure everyone gets to class. Most of the times Tohru comes with him." Haru replied
"Kyo comes too…" Haru thought. Suddenly the bell rang and a stampede of students rushed into the hallway and off to their classes. A few minutes later, the late bell rang.
"Hey, aren't you guys going to get in trouble?" Kira asked, worried
"We cut all the time." Haru said. "You know, when I go black or something…"
"And when Yuki and Kyo fight..." he thought
Kira then heard someone coming with her martial arts sense and whispered, "Someone's coming…"
A few moments later, Haru whispered back, "It's Yuki and Tohru." without lifting his gaze from the direction Yuki and Tohru were coming. Not only them but Kyo too.
"Haru? What are you doing?" she heard Yuki ask
"Hello Hatsuharu-san! Hello Momiji-san!" she heard a female say.
"That must be Tohru…" Kira thought as she heard the footsteps come closer.
"What the hell do you think he's doing? Damn rat! He's obviously cutting!" a rough voice said.
"What the…? Is that…Kyo? I haven't seen him since I was ten! But after that, we just drifted apart… I wonder if he still hates Yuki…" Kira thought. The footsteps had slowed down and she heard,
"Kira…?" Yuki said, shocked. The dark-haired girl looked up and smiled.
"Yuki!" She got up and hugged him. Yuki, surprised, slowly hugged her back.
"We thought it would be fun to surprise you!" Kira said
"Yeah, right! There was no "we" in this, there was you and Momiji. I didn't think it would be fun to surprise Yuki." Haru huffed. He glanced at Kyo who was still in shock and then his crimson eyes met his own and he glared.
"He's taking this better than I thought…" Haru thought
"You must be Tohru! It so nice to finally meet you!" Kira exclaimed, ignoring Haru.
"Eh? Oh! Um, it's nice to meet you too!" Tohru bowed as Kira bowed back. Kira smiled, then she turned to Kyo and hugged him but he didn't hug back; he was just so stunned that she was here.
"I thought Akito sent her to England! What is she doing here? Does she remember anything?" Kyo's mind raced.
"I didn't know you would go to the same school as Yuki." She said, smiling
"Not only that, they live together at Shigure's house too!" Momiji chimed in
"Really? With Shigure?" Kira asked, amazed
"Oddly enough, nobody has been killed yet." Haru said wryly
"You didn't tell me Kyo was here," she said accusingly.
"Kira, what are you doing here?" Yuki asked.
"I came for this year's banquet!" Kira grinned
"So Hatori's dancing this year?" Kyo said, forgetting that he wasn't supposed to know this much about Kira.
"Agh! I'm so stupid! Her memory is suppressed! She doesn't know that I know so much about her! Damnit!" Kyo scolded himself in his mind, worried what Kira might say.
"Yep!" she said laughing
"Does anyone know that you're here?" Yuki asked, worried about what Akito would do if he knew.
"Just Hatori and I made him promise not to tell anyone."
"Like he can keep promises…" Kyo thought angrily
Suddenly, Tohru gasped and everyone looked at her.
"Are you a member of the zod-mmph!" Tohru began to say but Kyo covered her mouth before she could finish.
"What Honda-san means to say is are you a member of the Sohma family?" Yuki said quickly, covering up.
"Well, kind of, yes, I guess, it's a long story…" Kira said looked at them suspiciously but then she smiled.
"C'mon Kira, I'll give you a tour of the school. We have lots of catching up to do." Yuki said, putting his arm around her, he then nodded at Haru and walked off with Kira down the hallway.
"I'm leaving..." Kyo mumbled and stormed off the opposite direction.
Momiji looked at Tohru and said, "Kira doesn't know about the curse."
"But she hugged Yuki and Kyo and they didn't transform…" Tohru trailed off, confused.
"We don't know why but when she hugs us or we hug her, we don't change and she's not a member of the zodiac." Haru said and then he continued,
"I'm going to let Sensei tell the rest… he's better at this stuff." Suddenly, the bell rang, signaling the end of the school day.
"I forgot! Today is a shorten day because of winter break!" Tohru gasped. She began to look and see where Yuki and Kira were and then she out of the corner of her eye she saw them. They watched as Prince Yuki's fan club gather to watch them walk, some began to cry, others swooned but one, the president of the fan club, threaten a warning the whole hallway could hear and ran off. Yuki and Kira ignored them and kept walking until they met up with Haru, Momiji and Tohru.
"This is an interesting school…" Kira said sarcastically, looking at Yuki who sweatdropped. She laughed and put her arm around his shoulder and announced,
"Let's go see Shigure!"
Shigure's house:
"So Haa-san, what bring you here for this unexpected visit? IS IT TOHRU? YOU CAME TO PLEDGE YOUR LOVE FOR HER, RIGHT?" Shigure shouted happily while Hatori just stared at him.
"YOU'RE SPEECHLESS! HOW ROMANTIC! I WAS RIGHT, WASN'T I?"
Hatori warned, "Look you, I- SLAM! THUD! THUD! THUD!" but before he could finish, the door slammed and they heard someone stomp up the stairs.
"What the…? Was that Kyo-kun?" Shigure wondered aloud and yelled, "KYO?"
"SHUT THE HELL UP YOU DAMN DOG!" Kyo screamed back angrily.
Shigure smiled, "It IS Kyo… but why is he back so soon?"
"…" Hatori didn't say anything but he knew the reason why.
"He saw her…" he thought and then they heard another door slam.
"I wonder who can it be this time… AAYA!" Shigure said as silver hair flowed by Shigure.
"My heart wept for you during our time apart…Gure-san." Ayame pledged
"Only your love could fill the gap in my heart…Aaya." Shigure said quietly.
"ALL RIGHT!" they cried in unison and gave each other thumbs up. Hatori just rolled his eyes and asked Ayame,
"What are you doing here?"
"Eh? Upon arriving at the main house and hearing from a maid that Tori-san was here at Shigure's, I came here invincibly, by a proud walk from there to here." Ayame said with a flourish while Hatori just sighed.
"Might as well have everyone else show up…" Hatori thought
"I'm going to make everyone my special tea today! Including you Gure-san!" Ayame said as he went into the kitchen.
"Really? Yay!" Shigure cheered as he heard the door open.
"Eh? Now who can it be?" Shigure asked. Then, Yuki, Haru, Momiji, and Tohru walked in, followed by one person he wouldn't have expected in a million years to come.
"Eh? Kira? Is that you?" Shigure looked at the tall, violet-eyed girl. The girl flung herself at him.
"Shigure! I missed you!" Kira cried out
"Kira! You came back!" he cried back and then looked upward at the ceiling and said, "Oh, so that's why…"
"Hi Hatori!" Kira greeted the stoical man.
"How was your day Kira?" Hatori asked, giving a small smile. But before she could answer, Ayame came bursting through the door.
"I thought I heard Gure-san say- KIRA! IT IS YOU!" Ayame cried out happily as Kira got up to hug him. Yuki just shook his head in disbelief and sat down besides Hatori.
"Eh? Hello Hatori-san! Hello Ayame-san!" Tohru said
"Kyaa! Kyaa!" Momiji giggled.
"Where's Kyo?" Haru asked
"He's in his room." Shigure answered.
"Come, Kira! I made my special, superb tea!" Ayame said giving Kira a cup full of his tea.
"Don't drink it!" Yuki yelled, getting up.
"Eh? You want some too? How sweet! Alas, we're bonding!" Ayame said, clutching his heart while Yuki sat back down and rubbed his forehead while Kira just laughed.
"Haa-san! Why didn't you tell me Kira was here?" Shigure asked his quiet friend next to him.
"Hatori-chan promised he wouldn't and he would never break a promise!" Kira said, smiling as she sipped from Ayame's tea. But when she said that, Hatori just remembered a promise he had broke.
Verbal flashback:
"You're just going to suppress the memories of the curse right, Hatori-chan? Nothing else?"
"Nothing else…"
"You promise?"
"I promise…"
"Master Hatori? Master Akito wants to see you, it's urgent."
"I'll be right back, stay here."
"Hmm..."
"Yes Akito?"
"They've been going out! For years! And you NEVER TOLD ME! slap SUPPRESS THEM! Suppress her memories of IT, of her relationship with IT!"
"But you only said of the curse."
"Hatori- KYO! Akito! What have you done to Kyo? Hatori! Help!"
"Kira, go back to my office. NOW!"
"Kira…" Kyo whispered, his eyes opening slowly.
"I'll be back. I promise." she kissed him gently on the forehead and left.
"Hatori… don't, don't do it…" Kyo begged
"You're injured Kyo… I must"
"Hatori… Hatori!"
"Shut up you filthy monster kick"
End of flashback
"Hatori? Hatori?" Kira said, looking at him worried
"Huh? Yes?" he answered
"Are you ok? You were really out of it…" she said anxiously.
"He was probably dreaming of Tohru in-BAM!" Shigure began but Yuki hit him before he finished.
"Waah! Yuki-kun is mean!" Shigure sobbed, pointing at Yuki and then he said cheerfully,
"I'm sure you think of Tohru in-BAM BAM!" as Yuki hit him twice on the head.
"GURE-SAN!" Ayame cried out dramatically as everyone watched but Kira quietly slipped away and went upstairs.
She went towards the balcony where Tohru would hang the laundry and saw a ladder.
"Hmm… to the roof! It's beginning to snow…" Kira thought as she began to climb the ladder. She saw Kyo on the roof, staring out to the horizon. She walked up quietly behind him and then suddenly covered his eyes. She felt him jump slightly and he cried out, frightened. She laughed and said,
"Guess who?"
"What the- KIRA! Don't scare me like that!" he yelled at her as she laughed.
"I thought you would have sensed me coming up behind you!" she said, taking a seat next to him
"Well… well I didn't!" Kyo looked at her, the snowflakes stood out in her hair, sparkling slightly.
"She looks so beautiful…STOP! I can't do this! Stop thinking about her!" he thought and then scolded himself.
"Aren't you cold?" Kyo asked as he noticed her summer-like attire and saw her shiver slightly.
"She's going to deny it…" Kyo thought.
"No."
"I knew she would deny it!" he thought as he watched her shiver.
"Liar!" Kyo accused her and he took off his jacket and put it around her shoulders.
"What am I DOING?" Kyo thought
"Aren't YOU cold?" she asked, smiling a smile that nearly made his heart stop but it just made his heart hurt more.
"No! Don't! Don't smile at me like that! Don't…"
"A little." he answered as he mentally slapped his forehead but then she put his jacket around his shoulders.
"What are you doing? I thought you were cold!" Kyo asked
"Ditto to you too." she replied and she heard a sigh and felt Kyo's arm gently pull her shoulders toward him where she felt his warmth radiating off of him. She smiled and leaned her head on to his shoulder.
"What the HELL am I doing? She's going to remember! Why won't my arm move?" Kyo thought, panicked as he tried to lift his arm but it felt like it was made of lead.
Downstairs:
"Honda-san? Weren't you wondering about Kira?" Haru asked.
"Eh? Oh, yes! Why is it that Kira doesn't change when you hug her or she hugs you?"
"Eh? We don't know but Akito treats her as if she was one of the zodiacs; such as invite her to the New Year's banquet." Shigure answered
"Have you noticed how Kyo has been acting?" Shigure asked her.
"Yes, he left school early when he saw her." Tohru reported and then thought, "Was he surprised? No…Kyo-kun seemed… scared…"
"It's because Kyo and Kira use to date but something tragic happened." Ayame said, pitching in.
"T-t-tragic?"
"Don't scare her." Hatori said
"Kira and Kyo were very good friends but when they were 13, things seem to make them even closer and they fell in love. Kyo acted different in front of Kira, he was calmer, nicer, and much more quieter. Kira is very brave too, she's the only one who wouldn't listen to Akito and would fight back." Shigure said
"He even gave her a lovely locket that had their picture in it and could split in half. She took one half and he took the other. He was so romantic!" Ayame said dreamily. Yuki rolled his eyes, Haru has his head on the table while Momiji just watched.
"Don't make it too happy!" Hatori said.
"Oh Haa-san! You're so picky!" Shigure said, waving his hand while Ayame, in turn agreed,
"The pickiest!"
"GET TO THE POINT!" Yuki yelled, he was getting impatient with his brother and he knew Ayame would leave when they finish telling what happen.
"Tsk tsk… Yuki-kun is so cold!" Ayame said
"Ever so cold…" Shigure agreed
"Kira and Kyo were practicing their martial arts with bamboo sticks. Kira had knocked out Kyo's stick out of his hand and when she swung at him, Kyo blocked with his left arm. The same arm where he wears his bracelet. The beads shattered and he transformed right in front of her. Kyo tried to run and slashed her across her left, which she still has the scar today. Kira went to Shigure and Ayame who were nearby and demanded to know what was going on. They told her everything and she stormed off to Akito's room. Kira had enough reasons to hate Akito, especially when he killed her parent when she was three and when she saw him whip Yuki when she was six but the curse finally made her crack." Haru officially took over as the storyteller, he was getting impatient with Shigure and Ayame,and paused when he saw Tohru beginning to cry.
"K-k-k-kill? W-w-w-whip Yuki?" she and Momiji sobbed
Well, that was a lot of information in one breath…" Hatori thought as he saw Yuki's shocked face while Shigure and Ayame both looked dead serious.
"Kira blamed Akito for everything. She said that Akito was using the curse against us to make us listen to him. She never understood why we all listen to him, why we obeyed his every word. Kira finally figured that the curse was something he did to the Sohma family for control. Akito punched her and she punched him back. No one dared to help, even when Akito pulled out his whip and began to whip her. She dodged every whip but occasionally got caught and finally she got up and snatched the whip away from him. She kicked him and punched which made Akito angrier and he gave her one final kick. Unfortunately, that kick sent her flying through his opened window." Haru continued.
"Haa-kun, don't you think that was too much detail?" Shigure said as he watched Tohru and Momiji sob harder.
"Momiji hasn't heard what happened either." Hatori warned Haru.
Haru ignored them and continued,
"Kira had wounds that took her weeks to heal and when she did get better, Akito had found out about her relationship with Kyo. He got angry and began to whip Kyo and then he called Hatori and told him to not just suppress her memory of the curse, but of her relationship with Kyo. Akito felt that it was all Kyo's fault she found out about the curse in the first place. Kyo was force to remember his life with Kira to make sure he would never forget the pain. Kira was sent off to England for two years for the suppression to work better but Hatori buried her memories enough that if she saw Kyo again, it wouldn't cause a problem."
"Not true, even if seeing Kyo doesn't trigger it, something she did with Kyo could, and if she stays with Kyo for a long time, her memories could slowly come back." Hatori said.
"I'm going to get Kira…" Ayame suddenly said and went to the back and yelled,
"KIRA!"
Roof:
"KIRA!" a voice yelled from below. Kira got up and crawled towards the edge of the roof but suddenly, she slipped on the snow that had gathered around them.
"KIRA!" Kyo cried out as looked down and saw Kira dangling on the edge by one arm. And then she let go, flipped in the air twice and landed swiftly on her hand.
"Oh yeah, she does martial arts and gymnastics…" Kyo thought. He climbed down and went inside.
Dining Room:
"Who the HELL called Kira? They made her fall off the roof!" Kyo came in angrily.
"Oh, I called her to see if she wanted to finish off some of my special tea!" Ayame beamed
"You nearly KILLED her cause of some TEA?" Kyo yelled, getting worked up.
"Seriously Kyo-kun, is that anything to get worked up about?" Shigure admonished him and then scolded him, "Don't get any snow in my house!"
"Tohru? Momiji? What's wrong? You guys look as if you've been crying!" Kira said, concerned at their tear stained faces and red-rimmed eyes.
"It's so sad!" Tohru sniffed
"So SAD!" Momiji wailed.
"What the hell is going on?" Kyo asked looking at Haru.
"You didn't tell a stupid story again like you did in that haunted house, did you?"
"No, it was more tragic…"
"What haunted house?" Shigure and Ayame asked in unison
"What story?" Hatori asked
"Momiji brought us a haunted house where Tohru got scared so much that Haru made up a story on one of the zombies and how his father was a drunk and how his mother left him." Yuki answered.
"That's so sad!" Shigure sniffed
"That poor zombie! What a horrible father! I would make a much more better father!" Ayame said vainly.
Kira just looked at them and laughed,
"Remember when we went to a haunted house on Halloween when we were younger?" Kira said, looking at Yuki and Haru.
"Of course, you got so scared that you hid behind me and Haru the whole time." Yuki smiled.
"And it was your idea to go there in the first place." Haru said, also smiling. Kira laughed,
"Those were fun times, weren't they?"
"Yes, yes they were." Yuki nodded.
Kyo watched and nearly burned himself of jealously,
"That damn rat and damn punk! What the hell do they think they're doing?" he thought heatedly. Shigure notice Kyo's furious looks and smiled.
"Aww… Kyo's jealous!" Shigure teased.
"SHUT UP!"
"Kyo gots the hots for Kira!" Momiji said in a singsong voice.
"I DO NOT! SHUT UP! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" Kyo yelled furiously and ran after Momiji who ran and dodged behind Kira. Kyo grabbed him and began to noogie him.
"WAAH! Kyo's a meanie!"
"What was that damn happy rabbit?"
"Kyo! Stop!" Kira said as she slapped Kyo.
"You just SLAPPED me!"
"And I'll do it again!" she said as she slapped him again.
"K-kira…" Tohru stammered nervously
"It's like she another person, right?" Shigure asked
"Why? Is she like Haru?"
"Of course not! She just gets like that when she's angry but she doesn't get out of control like Haru, she knows exactly what she's doing-SLAM! THUD!" Shigure explained until Kira kicked Kyo into a wall, causing a hole to appear.
"KIRA! Why must you destroy my house?" Shigure cried
"Kyo-kun!" Tohru said as she rushed up to help him.
"She's almost as strong as Sohma-san…" Tohru thought.
"Why did you hold back?" Yuki asked as Kira sat down.
"You know how I feel about murder…"
"My house…" Shigure sobbed.
"We're leaving." Hatori said, grabbing Ayame by the collar and walked out the door.
"C'mon Haru! Momiji!"
"'Till next time Gure-san! We'll bond again Yuki!" Ayame called out
"Bye!" Momiji said cheerfully
"Later." Haru said, paused and then asked,
"Kira, you don't need a ride to Jake's or anything?"
"Um… I don't know… no."
"Ok" he answered and left.
"Finally…" Yuki sighed in relief.
"Who's Jake?" Shigure asked curiously
"… A friend I met in England…Shigure? Can I spend the night here?" Kira asked.
"Certainly, I have an extra room down the hall but you can always stay in my- BAM! BAM!" Shigure tried to say but both Yuki and Kyo hit him in the head.
"You PERVERT!" Kyo yelled
"I have an extra room but there's no bed in there." Shigure said
"That's ok, I'll stay with Yuki." Kira said nonchalantly as she drank her tea. Yuki blushed while Kyo turned five shades of red, either of embarrassment or of anger.
"W-what? You're staying in that damn rat's room?" Kyo asked
"Do you want me to stay in your room tonight?"
"Tonight? Are you going to stay here tomorrow?" Shigure asked
"Maybe…" Kira grinned and then she got up and said,
"Where's your room Kyo?" and went towards the stairs
"Wha? Hey!" Kyo said as he followed her.
"I hope Kira stays here! It would be so much fun!" Tohru smiled
"Yes it would." Shigure smiled while Yuki yelled,
"Don't you DARE do anything you stupid cat!"
"What was that damn rat?" Kyo yelled.
At night:
"Ring, ring, ring!" a melody came from Jake's dresser.
"Hello?" he mumbled
"Hey." Kira said
"Do you have any idea what time it is?" Jake asked, annoyed. He glanced at his alarm clock, it read 3:47 AM.
"You're the one who called me... 53 times! Had nothing to do on a Friday night?" Kira asked sarcastically
"It's Saturday morning..." Jake muttered, yawning
"I just wanted to let you know that I'm spending the night here. Here. In Shigure Sohma's house." she smirked. She knew how crazy Jake was about Shigure.
"OH MY GOD! SHIGURE SOHMA'S HOUSE? REALLY? DO YOU THINK HE WILL AUTOGRAPH MY BOOK COLLECTION?" Jake squealed so loud that Kira had to hold the phone away from her ear.
"No... your book collection is huge. You have three copies of every book Shigure has ever written..."
"And all of the ones he used pen names for! Do you know he has-" Jake reported but Kira cut him off,
"Yeah, yeah, he has 66 pen names and he has 17 restraining orders against you..."
"16 restraining orders."
"Right..." Kira said as she went in to make some tea. As she waited for the tea to boil, she propped herself on the kitchen counter with a box of Pocky.
"It's too bad he doesn't knowthat "Crazy4U" is my pen name..." Jake said, wistfully.
"You can come over tomorrow- I mean today to meet him. To meet everyone."
"I GET TO MEET HIM? I GET TO WALK ON THE FLOOR HE WALKED ON? I GET TO SEE THE COMPUTER HE USES? OH MY GOD!" Jake squealed again while Kira held the phone away from her ear and ate a Pocky stick.
"Uh huh...just don't pass out when you meet him or anything..."
"THAT WOULD BE SO EMBARRASSING!" Jake gasped
"It would for me..." Kira laughed as the kettle finally whistled and she quickly jumped up and turned off the stove.
"Should I bring your bike tomorrow?"
"Yeah..."
"Ok, I'll be there at 10."
"7."
"WHAT? That's too early!" Jake protested
"Fine, come at 8." she said casually as she pulled another stick from her Pocky box and sipped her tea.
"Eating Pocky?"
"Of course! Anyway, I have to go, it's getting late-"
"You mean early."
"Whatever, talk to you later, ok?"
"Yeah, later." and with that said, both of them hung up as Kira finished her Pocky and just sipped her tea, waiting for someone to wake up. Kira tugged on her fingertip-less gloves but then she stopped and took off the left one. Underneath, it revealed a scar-like red pentagram; she traced it's shape with her finger and remembered Akito's words:
"I'm the only one that will ever understand you. I'm the only one that will love you for who you are, for your powers. That pentagram makes you different, but it makes you the same with me." Akito said and then revealed his left palm. It was bare but slowly ablack pentagram appeared, identical to Kira's.
"Your mother was foolish for marrying a mortal. I was the only one who ever truly loved her! She was engage to me! But she ran off with an idiot named Sohma. Sohma is a very powerful family... I reincarnated myself into his "nephew", the one to inherit my so-called mortal father's power. Your mother made a mistake and she paid for... she and that idiot... you call your father." Akito said harshly
Kira shuddered, and suddenly her phone rang and she jumped.
"Hello?" she answered.
"Welcome back my little witch" a dark voice oozed out, slowly like syrup.
A voice that she rejected with her whole body and mind...
A voice she never wanted to hear...
A voice that sounded a lot like Akito...
How was that so far? Confusing right? Review and tell me if you like it and I'll update soon!
