Hello! A new Oc story that I want to continue I had this story on deviantart but it wasn't edited. Anyway I hope you enjoy!
Utau Sohma is a very troubled teenager and has nowhere to go but to her cousin's house. She has been gone for about two years and was presumed dead. Most of her family thinks that she is dead but others know the truth of her struggle. It started with her parents love affair that wasn't approve of the head of the family. Her mother was a Sohma and her father was from outside the family. The couple got married and had Utau who became the first cat. However, a few months after there was another cat born into the family. In the Sohma family, there was a rumor that Utau's family was a cursed and were not to be associated with. The head of the family forced Utau to live in the Sohma house at a young age and her parents weren't allowed to see her unless they permitted it. The teenager's parents had died in a freak car accident when she was ten. The guardian of the child is Kazuma Sohma whose grandfather was a cat as well. He taught her martial arts and help her become stronger as a person. As a child,she was friendly will all the Sohma children ,and kept a good attitude about life. Utau had a close relationship with Kyo and Haru as a child. Her life change after she learn about the head of the family's secret. They punished her by keeping her in the cat room and almost killing her. The room was always dark and no one had visit her. The Sohma family didn't know what happen to her. The teenager was saved from one of the Sohma family member and she was able to live once again.
Utau now sixteen, is trying to live a normal but she is going to have a rough journey. She is tall, has long red hair, bright blue eyes has some curves, but at the moment is sickly skinny. The young woman has lost her sense of the world and need to readjust to her new life. She has a black and red bracelet on her left hand to conceal her darkside. Utau has been observing the house for a few days. She knows that Kyo and Yuki are living here. The cat is wonder what would be the best time to come to the house. She decided that it would be best at night.
The redhead comes to Tohru's room and opens the window. She sees that there is a girl sleeping in the room. Utau tries to be quiet but it didn't work. The looks at her and screams.
"Really?" Utau says and sees the two young men come to the room. Kyo and Yuki Sohma look at Utau in shock. The teenage boys couldn't believe what they were seeing.
Yuki could not believe his eyes because he went to Utau's funeral and she was dead. Akito said that she was dead and will never come back. "How are you alive? You died in the cat's room. How?" He raised his voice and wanted to shake her. Was she real? Was this a dream? The rat hated Kyo but Utau was very different from the male cat. She would try to play and talk to him even if she wasn't allowed.
"What's all the racket?" Shigure comes in the room and sees Utau. " I thought you were coming when everyone was a gone. This not as plan. By the way you look like hell. What you couldn't use the door like a normal person."
He says as he looks at the broken teenager. She is skinny, some of the scars were showing, and looks tired. He wonders why she waited so long to come back.
Before Utau could respond to her cousin rude response Kyo starts to shout.
"What the hell is this? Who are you? You can't be Utau because I saw you get buried six feet under!" Kyo starts to yell and have a fit like he did as a child. He stares at her and sees a pale face girl who looks like she hadn't eaten in day. Kyo observed his cousin, sees that she has some scars, and her face is a little hollow. He is shouting at her, what kind of cousin was he acting like. He hushes and waits for Utau to explain what happen.
The redhead wants to tell Kyo everything but his reaction made her worried. Utau becomes stressed out and feels her body getting week. The teenager collapses on the floor and everyone freaks out. She had been camping out for a few days and didn't eat much of anything.
Kyo catches her, holds on to her, and tries not to cry in front of the others. He becomes worried and feels like he is at fault for this.
Shigure panics and gets to the phone ." Shit I have to call Hatori." He run out and calls him.
Tohru is very confused of what was happening in her room. "Um? Who is this? Will she be ok?" She watches Kyo hold her and wonders what she can do to help.
"Oh sorry. This is our cousin Utau Sohma. We thought that she had passed away two years ago. We were told that she killed herself. She was nice to all of us. She would even talk to me knowing that she wasn't allowed to interact with me." Yuki gives Tohru a brief history of the red head. "Somehow she is a cat as well." He says in a quiet tone and looks away.
"Oh, I am sorry. At least now you know that she is alive. Maybe we can all be friends." Thoru stays positive and smiles at Yuki. She hopes that Utau gets better and they can be friends.
Shigure comes back in the room" Hatori is coming soon. He needs to check on her. Come let's get her in a bed." He says to Kyo who is holding her. Shigure says and feels a little annoyed. He did not sign up for taking care a bunch of misfits.
Utau stirs in Kyo's arms and mumbles. "Don't call Hatori. He will get mad please don't. " She is so tired and pass out but she feels when someone picks her up. They put her on a bed and leave her alone. Kyo stays in the room and watches her breathe. He holds her hand and it feels so fragile. He wonders what had happen to her and where was she if she was not dead like everyone thought. Kyo notices that her hair got so much longer from the last time they saw each other.
There is a knock at the door." Can I come in?" A low voice asks and waits for a response.
"Yeah come in Hatori. Please help her." Kyo looks at him with pleading eyes and holds her hand tightly.
" Thank you for watching her. I need to be alone with Utau. I will call you in if I need anything." Hatori asks him and he nods but he is reluctant to leave the room. "Utau are you awake? Where have you been the last week? Dear, please wake up. I don't want to make more painful for you like the last time." He checks her vitals and then checks her wrist, ribs, legs and arms. All her wounds from the past had healed. Hatori figures that she is exhausted and didn't want to intrude into the house to early. She is so stubborn. He would babysit her as a child and she would be the same way.
Then she mutters something and moves around. Utau could hear him but she didn't want to talk about what was bothering her. She gets up and looks at her cousin "I don't trust Shigure. I had to see what was going on the house before I decide to live here. I can't trust anyone after what happen in the cat room. I can still feel the cuts from the fight. He wouldn't stop. There was so much blood. I have no idea how I survived. He saved him but I couldn't stay with him. I don't remember how to live Hatori. I was so lonely and hungry for those months.I don't know how to be a person. What is wrong with me this time? " As she remembers the horrible memories she cries and curls up to Hatori. Utau missed being with him and wished that she could have helped him in past.
" I think it is the exhausting and not eating. You have to eat 3 meals a day. I know you can't trust Shigure but talk to Kyo about your problems. Tell him about what happened. You will always have each other. You need to live your life no matter what he says. It will be hard to adjust but you can do it." He smiles at his cousin and kisses her cheek. He worries about her but he had to make sure she is not found by Akito at least not yet. He looks into her big blue eyes and sees her father's spirit within her. Hatori was close to her father and looked over her like her father wanted.
Utau smiles and falls asleep in his arms. She looks like an angel resting and Hatori hear someone crying outside the door. He goes outside the room and sees young woman sobbing.
"Who are you?" He asks and remember Shigure talking about girl living with them.
Thoru has yet to meet Hatori. He must be another family member. "Sorry, I am Tohru Honda. I am living with the Sohma family. I was listening about what happen to Utau. I am so sorry. No one should have to live that way." She talks between sobs and looks down to the ground not knowing what to do. "She looked so strong and then falls apart in a few minutes. Why did this happen to her?" Tohru looks up at Hatori and wants him tell her what happen to Utau.
" Hello Tohru. It is pleasure to meet you and I wish we could have met on better terms. I am Hatori. I am the Sohma doctor and I took care of Utau as child.
I can't really tell what happen to her. Utau might tell you one day. But can I ask a favor? It is for Utau?" He look at Thoru with kind eyes and she nods."Can you make sure Utau eats three times a day. She need to eat more and ask what she likes to eat. Can you do that for me Tohru?" He asks her a simple tasks and hopes this young lady will help this family.
"Yes I can do that. I hope I can get to know her better and be friends." Thoru smiles at the man and sees that he cares for his cousin.
"Please don't be sad. Utau will get better with time. She will want to be your friend as well." He goes to talk to Kyo and Yuki about Utau. The two teenagers cared for Utau but they need to know that she has changed as a person. He was one of the few that knew that she was alive all this two years. Hatori is the one that had to stitch her up and keep her alive. He remembers that his hands were covered in her blood. The man tries not to think about that day. He goes to the living room where Kyo and Yuki were waiting.
" Boys I must talk to you about Utau because you must be confused about how she is alive. Also, worried about her wellbeing. Utau will get better, she just was exhausted and didn't eat for a few days. She will have her good days and bad days. She will tend to have violent dreams and she will yell at night . I am sorry to put you in this position but this is the safest place for her. Kyo, you have to share a room with her and I trust you. Both of you are cats and know each other for the longest." Hartori looks at both of them and sees that Yuki looks upset.
"Why is she in his room? What if he attacks her?" Yuki expresses his worries and causes Kyo to have a fit as well. Even though she was a cat he cares about her and didn't trust Kyo with her. He glares at Kyo and he hisses at him. They are like a rat and cat.
"What the hell? I would never! We are both cursed with being the cat! You don't understand us! You rat!" Kyo stands up and about to hit Yuki but he counter attack him.
"Boys! Sit down and shut up! You will wake Utau. Please." Hatori glares at them and they sit back down. " Utau needs to be relaxed and she will be in your high school so watch over her. She needs you two to watch over her back. Kyo make sure she eats more and socializes with people. At some point we can tell other members of the Sohma family. She needs to be protected from Akito. I am going to come by if need be. Good night." He walks himself out and hopes everything goes well. He trust the boys to watch over Utau.
Kyo and Yuki nod in response and say goodbye to their cousin. They stand in the room saying nothing but Kyo finally says something.
"Well that was a fun night. It is time to go to bed. I will take Utau to school tomorrow. I am going to bed." Shigure says and leaves the teenagers to do whatever they want.
"You know she likes me more than you. I will take care of her. We need to watch over her at school. Guys are going to hit on her." Kyo states and mumbles the last statement.
"Utau likes everyone." Yuki sighed and just nod in agreement. "I agree we should watch over Utau in school. She is going to be confused at first and she needs us. Just take care of her." Yuki says and goes to his room.
Utau sleeps in Kyo's bed and she tosses and turns. She is having a nightmare. It is about being in the cat room again, the darkness, the blood on the floor, and she sees the anger in his eyes. Utau screams and wakes in sweats. She is confused and wonders where she was at the moment.
Kyo hears the screaming and wonders what he should do. He runs up to the room with Yuki and Tohru behind him. "Utau, are you ok?" He asks and now understand what Hatori meant about the nightmares.
The red-head is covered in sweat and wide eyed. "Kyo? Where am I? Am I safe?" She asks her cousin and sees the others behind him.
He walks over to her and notices that she is covered in sweat. "Did you have a nightmare? You are in Shigure's home. You are in my room. You climbed into Tohru's room. I will protect you." He says and sits on her bed. He doesn't really know what else to do.
"Did Hatori tell you about my nightmares? I am so sorry. I can't get over what happen. I am a mess. I am so unstable emotional and I am so weak. I don't want to be burden to you guys." Utau says in a trembling voice and tries not to cry. She can't look at their faces.
Tohru is crying as she hears and sees Utau state of mind. She didn't know much about her but she can sees that the teenager is in pain emotional. Before Tohru could say something Yuki interjects.
"Utau. You are part of our family now. We will protect you. We will help you heal from whatever you went through. You can talk to us about it whenever you are ready. I think you should rest. Tohru could you possible let Utau borrow some clothes for the night." Yuki says in a soothing tone and looks at Tohru. He knows that she wants to help but Utau is not in the state of mind to get know Tohru at moment.
The tearful young woman nods. " Of course. I should have something. I will be back" She gets something from her room and has time to wipe her tears away. Tohru comes back and gives Utau a pair of shorts and t shirt.
Utau nods at Tohru." Thank you. Yuki is right I should go to bed. If you could all leave so I can change." She ask and feels a little better.
"Of course we can. Just call me in when you are done." Kyo responds and it seems that he shoos everyone out.
The teenagers gets out of the bed, takes off her sweaty clothes. "Damn." She whispers to herself, she touches her scars on sides, and she can feel her bones. " I am such a mess." She gets on the shorts but the shirt was to small. The teen looks though Kyo's clothes and finds a black t shirt that fits. " I am done." She states and opens the door. "Sorry for the disturbance. Thank you for everyone. Goodnight." She smiles at everyone and pulls Kyo into the room. "I had to steal one of your shirts."
"It is no problem. I am glad that you are alive. I know that you went through some bad shit. You don't want to talk about it tonight. But, I am here for you. God, when I saw you I thought it was a dream." Kyo gets closer and hugs her. He is careful with her and he can feel how skinny she got. The last time he saw she wasn't this thin or broken. He missed her so much because she understands his struggle. He puts his head in the nape of neck.
Utau pulls her hands through his orange hair and lets him rest on her. She remembers when they were kids they would fall asleep under a tree in the spring. "I am alive. But, I am broken and it will take time to heal. I will tell you everything when I am ready. Let's get some sleep Kyo." She pulls him into the bed and cuddles up to him. He seems so much bigger and stronger than her. Two years have past but they still uphold their bond.
"Good Night Utau. Sweet dreams." Kyo says as he pulls her close to his chest. The two sleep in peace and comfort each other.
The rest of the night is peaceful however, the rest of the year will have conflict among family members, love, and new beginnings.
