Chapter I
This was one of those days that I wish that I had my eyesight, just to see where Ayame was taking me while driving, so that was the scary part, I have to admit. I was strapped in the passenger's seat, holding on for dear life in case Ayame decided he wanted to go eighty miles per hour.
Why did I even agree to this? Oh yeah, because Ayame promised that I would get to meet someone who I can actually get along with. My head swiveled toward where I thought the driver's seat was, where Ayame was driving. Even though I'm blind, I could see his animal form, which was a snake. It was a blue, wispy spirited form of his snake form. From what people have told me, Ayame has long silver hair and some blueish colored eyes. I always took what they said for real since I can't really see.
Ya know, being blind and all.
Anyways, I should introduce myself. My name is Sabrina Starr. I'm twenty-three years old. I think I have long red hair and misty blue eyes. I lost my eyesight in an 'accident' and that was more than fifteen years ago. So yeah, I haven't looked at myself since I was around thirteen years old. Sad, isn't it? People say I look as pale as a ghost, but that is logical since I don't really go out into the sun anymore.
Really don't want to be run over by cars or something.
I felt the car stop, and I was worried that I was caught out by Akito or someone that wanted me dead. Hey, just a possibility. And before you ask, yes, I know about the Sohma curse, secretly being a part of it and such. Yes, I'm part of it. The story goes that there was a blind woman that was God's oracle and best friend. When the cat didn't come to the party, who was the oracle's precious nephew, she escaped the party and was never found again. It was said that she was the one who put the curse on all the animals so she can be with the cat for eternity, but it was never proven. Problem with that was that God never found her again and eventually forgot about her.
Anyways, back to the situation.
"We're here~" Ayame sang in a sing song voice. "You just wait out in the car while I go get everyone ready for you. Okay?" I nodded my head yes and listened to Ayame's steps as he walked away. I sat silently, waiting and listening for Ayame to come and 'fetch' me, or so he says. The people that I'm going to meet are also part of the Sohma curse; Shigure Sohma, the dog, Kyo, the cat, Yuki, the rat, Hatori the dragon, and Tohru Honda, the only other human that knew the Sohma curse.
The door next to me opened and I looked to see a wispy blue snake. Ayame was back. "Come, everybody's ready~" How the heck he keep being happ all the time escapes me, really. Ayame unbuckled me and gently led me from the car to the front of the house. He opened the door for me and helped me step over the thresh hold.
I he let go of my hand and said, "Wait here for a bit, please." I then heard his footsteps walk away for a bit, then sound louder as he came closer. "I present to you, gentlemen and lady, the wonderful Sohma, Ame!" He gently pulled me forward. I instantly saw a wispy blue dog, seahorse, cat, rat, and...
"Riceball?" I said, tilting my head in confusion. The animals heads turned to me in confusion. I pointed towards the riceball. "Ayame, who is the riceball?" Ayame chuckled after a second.
"That is the infamous Tohru Honda." I smiled gently and said, "Come here, child." The riceball was nervous as she stepped. "Would you do me a favor, child?"
"S-sure, mam." I squealed in my head. Her voice was so cute!
"Grab a hold of my hands and bring them up to your face." The rice ball that I saw was nervous, but did as I asked. "You're a hard worker, aren't you?" I asked as she grabbed my hands. The riceball nodded her head. I felt my hands being lifted up towards a face. Her face was small and round with large eyes. Her nose was petite and so was her mouth. Honestly, I liked the girl. She was polite and cute.
I smiled and beckoned towards my nephew. "Thank you, Ms. Honda, but I want to see my nephew now." The rat's head turned towards the cats.
"You have an aunt, Kyo?" Tohru asked. The cat grumbled but walked forward anyway. He then hesitantly looked up my face and paused, as if seeing me for the first time in a long time. In truth, it was a long time since we saw each other.
"It has been a long time, hasn't it, Kitty-Cat?" I smirked. There were several anger marks on the cats head now, but they disappeared after recognition dawned on the cats face.
"Aunt Rain?" He said in awe. I laughed.
"Of course it is, silly. Now come here and give your aunt a hug." I held out my arms and wrapped them around him. There was a poof and I looked down to see... black. I still couldn't see their forms then. I could still feel fur, so I petted the cat that was now resting peacfully in my arms. "It is good to see you, nephew."
"Damn it, why did you have to hug me, though?" The yell came from within my arms. I laughed.
"Cause it is fun to tease you, my child."
"Damit, stop calling me that!" It was a half-hearted yell, that one, since he knew that I wasn't going to stop calling him my child soon.
I looked up and smiled at the dog and seahorse. "It is good to see you again, Hatori, Shigure."
"It is good to see you again, Princess Rain." Shigure said with a small laugh. "And the Habachi trio are back together with their princess again." Shigure seemed lost in his memories. I smiled softly.
'Oh, if they only knew that their princess was blind...' I thought sadly.
So, you guys like this one? It's going to be an Ayame/OC/Hatori love triangle for a while until I can figure out who to choose for romance.
Anyways, please read and review!
