"Man, if school were this easy all the time, no one would ditch." I said as I typed the last period on my paper. "But then again, if it were easy, there would be no use for it. Anyways, BREAK TIME!" I sang the last two words, grabbing my remote and hitting play. I got up and turned off the lights, settling down again to watch my favorite anime of all time for the 400th time.
"Kyo's just so cute!!! If I were Tohru, I would so be going after him." I giggled at the end of the first episode. "If only I could really be there." I closed my eyes as the second episodes music began.
"As you wish my beloved." A voice in the corner whispered, barely audible.
"Be safe today mom. Look after Kitty for me." I heard a small voice say.
"Gah, five more minutes. I'll wake up then." My lower-back length black hair was spread across my face.
"Don't worry, I can walk to school by myself. You were up late last night, doing who knows what."
"School? Wait, no ones home this weekend." I remember suddenly. So why was there a voice talking to me. I sat up straight in bed and hit something soft. Looking up I found I was in a tent. "What in the-"
"Bye. I'll be back after work. Don't forget your phone if you go out." this girl said, smiling and going out of the tent. Her hair was brown, and reached just down to her shoulder blades. She was wearing a high school uniform, and had startling brown eyes. I sat in bed for ten minutes before screaming and running outside.
A thick forest surrounded me, with a dark green grass that looked soft enough to sleep on. The sky was a perfect blue, with little white fluffy clouds scattered. I just barely saw the girls' hair flip around a tree. Quickly, I composed myself and went back inside, hoping not to see what I knew was in there. In between two sleeping bags was a picture frame with a lovely woman in it. Her fingers on her right shoulder showing a peace sign, and a big goofy smile on her face. Tohru Honda's mother.
"A dream. That's what this has to be. I just saw this episode. No more cookie dough before bed. Now how to wake up?" I said to myself. But then I thought better of it. "Might as well have some fun before I wake up. Maybe I can get all the way to meeting Momiji." I giggled to myself and grabbed some fresh clothes.
"Tohru would be at Yuki's now. Prolly just leaving though. Maybe I'll go meet Shigure before she gets home from school." I went off into the woods, not having any idea where I was going.
I walked around, wondering how Tohru found the house so easily, remembering it was written in a script. Since it was a dream to me, I just began thinking about the house. A few moments after, I came to the hill just above it. I laughed at myself, wondering why it had taken me so long to remember that.
Going down, I saw the porch clearly. Shigure was picking up the rocks that looked like the zodiac animals. He and Tohru had already talked about them. I quietly walked towards his house, not knowing what I was going to do once I got there. Right before I got onto the porch, I realized this guy had no idea who I was, and would probably ask questions I wasn't ready to answer. Just as he stepped back onto the porch with a newspaper, I hid behind the side of the house, hoping I could walk back the way I came without him hearing.
"Two young girls in one day, this must be lucky for me." He said, not moving his eyes from his paper. "Are you related to Miss Tohru Honda?" I quietly came out from the side of the house.
"Sorry for trespassing, I was just taking a walk." I said, bowing.
"You have her eyes, you know that?" He said, ignoring my apology.
"Who?"
"Tohru. She was just here a little bit ago. Claimed she lived close by with her sister. I just figured you might be her sister."
"Umm…" I was at a loss for words. Here was a perfect lie for me to tell in dreamland, and I couldn't say anything.
"I take your silence as a yes. Would you like a cup of tea?"
"Umm… I'm sorry. I was just walking. I don't mean to be a bother. I'll just go ahead and continue my walk." I turned from him.
"You should stop by another time. I owe you a tea. Oh, and I hope you'll bring Tohru." He said, waving.
'What is wrong with me. My dream and I freak just meeting Shigure?' I mentally slapped myself as I walked back to the tent. I sat there doing nothing until I heard footsteps outside the tent. The flap opened and Tohru came in.
"I know, it's late. I have a paper to write, but I think I'm going to wash up first." she said to me. I could tell she had a fever, but I was too weirded out to do anything except nod. She left with a small towel, and I heard laughter. Loud laughter. I peeked out to see Yuki and Shigure outside, Shigure pointing and laughing. Yuki asked us if we would accompany him home, and we both agreed. I grabbed some clothes before we left, knowing the mudslide would make them dirty and I really didn't want to wear Yuki's clothes.
"You've been living there for almost a week? Well at least that explains why we would all of a sudden have new neighbors. You see, all this land belongs to the Sohma's." Yuki said after we explained everything.
"We would only be staying until the remodeling finished. We don't have much, but we can pay." Tohru said, looking at the table.
"The woods are very dangerous out here." Shigure said. (He finally stopped laughing.) "Especially for two young ladies."
"We're used to all the bugs and things. We can take care of ourselves." I said, finally speaking up. I have no idea why I was so quiet.
"There are weirdos around at night." Yuki said. "My cousin being my best example." Shigure looked at him with a sweat drop.
"Mom taught us never to be afraid. And never to give up." Tohru said, standing up. She swooned at the last three words. She fell to the floor, where Yuki automatically ran to her side.
"You have a fever Miss Honda, you shouldn't go out."
"We have a spare room upstairs. You two are welcome to it if you would like."
"No, we can't cause you anymore trouble than we already have." I said. "I'll take care of her. Don't you worry." I said, standing up, but swooning as well. I didn't even feel warm before then.
"That settles it. You both stay here. You're both sick." They each grabbed one of our hands and led us up to a spare room. We fell asleep once the beds were made.
