WHERE HAS SHE BEEN TAKEN?
Chapter 1: Something's wrong
Tohru walked down to her locker with her big old grin on her face. Her life was going perfect, she had everything she could ever want. Yuki was her boyfriend, Shigure was still a pervert, Hana still used her waves to keep the Prince Yuki Fan Club away, and Kyo and Uo were hanging out a lot more.
"You know the fan club girls are still hanging around, are you sure you don't want me to stay with you until Yuki gets here?" Hana asked Tohru, since Uo was sick that day.
"Oh, no Hana-chan! I couldn't ask that of you! I will be fine don't worry." Tohru quickly replied.
"Alright. If those fan club girls do anything to you, I want to know."
"Of course!"
"I shall see you next week Tohru." Hana told her and turned around and walked away. Tohru stared at her friend, as her figure grew smaller in the distance. Spring break was finally here and all Tohru wanted to do was be with Yuki. Tohru opened her locker to find a little black envelope with her name on it in blood red. Tohru gave a little scared look but pulled out the envelope. She opened it to find a little note, on a small scrap of white paper. Tohru started to read it as Yuki walked down the hall towards her.
'There is my sweet Tohru! What's wrong with her?' Yuki thought as he walked to his beloved girlfriend. He watched as Tohru's eyes looked over a little piece of paper and her dazzling smile drooped into horror. The letter fell from Tohru's hands as she herself fell onto her knees.
"Is something wrong Tohru?" Yuki asked with concern in his perfect purple eyes (a/n: now that Yuki and Tohru are dating, Yuki calls her Tohru). When Tohru didn't look up or answer him Yuki bent down and grabbed the little note.
Miss Tohru Honda,
I am but a humble person so I shall get to the point.
I know about you and Yuki and frankly I am not happy.
Leave Shigure's house and leave your school and no
harm will come to you. Thank you.
The note was written by computer but you could tell that the person who typed it hated her. Someone did not like them dating but Yuki knew he couldn't blame Akito, because he died just two weeks ago.
"Yuki…This isn't the first note I have gotten since we got together." Tohru whispered to him as her fingers clenched her knees, till they grew as white as a ghost.
"Don't worry Tohru. As long as I am alive I will not let anything happen to you. I promise." Yuki reassured her as her grabbed her hands and brought her to her feet. He stared into her eyes to see her lovely brown eyes filled with fright, and worry. 'I must find out who is threatening her. I promised to keep her safe but if she is scared she won't be very happy.' Yuki said to himself as he stared at Tohru.
"Are you ready to go home Tohru?" Yuki asked her.
"Yes. I would love to!" Tohru cheered.
They walked down the road hand in hand with out a care in the world (well you know). As they past a huge white building with all most no windows a shadowy figure loomed around the corner watching them stroll by. The figure stared at them with such furry towards their happiness.
"Let's see how happy they will be if I hold my word in all those notes I have written." The shadow said to it's self as it disappeared around the corner. The figure slipped into the dark ally and ran down the cold, lifeless, damp ally till the figure saw the opening that led into the forest. The figure ran as far as the secret path took it, not once thinking about all the dead plants that loomed all around it.
……….
"We are home!" Yuki yelled inside the empty house, "Looks like no one is here."
"All well. I better go get started on dinner!" Tohru cheered as she bounced into the kitchen. Yuki stared after her with a little smile, and then headed up the stairs to go do his homework. Yuki walked down the hall to hear a moan in Kyo's room. Yuki opened Kyo's door a little to see Kyo was fast asleep.
"What are you staring at you damn rat!" Kyo yelled at Yuki, as he shot up in bed.
"Nothing you stupid cat." Yuki replied as he walked away.
…………
The figure peeked through the trees to see Tohru in the kitchen cooking. The smell of Miso soup filled the figure's nostrils making it spit on the ground in disgust. When the figure looked up it saw Shigure skipping towards the house. The figure watched as he entered the house then heard one of the boys yell at him, and Tohru's voice welcoming him home.
'This will make me sick, so I better get this over.' The figure thought as it crept towards the house, the kitchen to be exact. Hidden in the bushes the figure peeked into the kitchen and saw Tohru was alone, now was the figures chance.
…………..
Tohru got out the pan and the rest of the stuff needed for Miso soup and started stirring it when the front door opened. Tohru continued to stir the soup waiting for someone to call out. "Tohru-kun! I hope dinner is almost ready, because I am starving!" Shigure called from the front of the house.
"You do not just come in here acting like Tohru is your maid!" Yuki yelled at Shigure.
"Hello Shigure-san! Welcome home!" Tohru yelled out to the living room.
"Ow! Tohru tell Yuki to be nice to me!" Shigure whined.
"Stop complaining to her, you pervert!" Kyo yelled from the top of this stairs.
"Hello, Kyo-kun!" Tohru yelled to Kyo.
"Shut up, would you!" Kyo yelled back to her.
"Stop yelling at Tohru you stupid cat!" Yuki yelled at Kyo.
"Oh! Now you are going to get it, you damn rat!" Kyo screamed and then the house started to shake as a fight broke out.
Tohru got back to stirring the soup when she suddenly heard the side door to the kitchen slide opened. Tohru's eyes widened as she turned to face a women about the age that Akito was. She had almost white eyes, and simple black hair.
"So you must be THE Tohru Honda. It is a pleasure to meet you." The lady said as she outstretched her hand to shake Tohru's. Tohru shook it too, and then stared at the lady. She wore a dark blue blouse and a dark navy skirt. Her hair was pulled back into a bun with only one strand of hair at the front of her face.
"Oh, how rude of me! My name is Samitria Ramtos, I work with Shigure." The lady introduced herself. (a/n: Samitria Ramtos is my own made up character!)
"Oh! Welcome! Would you like me to get him for you?" Tohru asked her.
"No that's alright. I need to talk to him privately and since there seems to be a fight going on in the other room, I don't see why you don't just wait outside." Ms. Ramtos told Tohru with a wiry smile, and indicating the noise coming from the living room.
"Um…ok. While I'm outside do you think you could stir the soup?" Tohru asked unsure of her.
"Of course! We will only be but a minute." With that Ms. Ramtos scooted Tohru out the door and then closed it. 'Finally! Now I should hurry up before they get suspicious!' Ms. Ramtos told herself and went to work.
"Miss Tohru could I ask a favor?" Ms. Ramtos came out of the kitchen a moment later just as she promised.
"Okay! But the soup…" Tohru began.
"Don't worry I got Shigure to stir it, and it will take but a minute!" Ms. Ramtos looked at Tohru begging.
"Alright." Tohru gave in with a sigh.
"Great, follow me!" Ms. Ramtos lead Tohru up a hidden path. 'Oh, I hope Shigure doesn't burn the soup!' Tohru thought to herself before everything went dark as she fell to the ground.
………
"Ah!" Kyo screamed as he was sent hurling into the wall.
"That should teach you, you stupid cat." Yuki sighed and then turned away. 'Why hasn't Tohru called us to the table yet?' Yuki asked himself.
"That damn rat is really getting on my nerves." Kyo whispered to himself.
"Tohru! I'm hungry!" Shigure called towards the kitchen. When no reply came Yuki got very worried. Yuki got up and headed to the door that had tape all over, from the constant beating it got. Yuki opened the door to revel an empty room.
"Tohru?" Yuki called into the kitchen when he noticed a black envelope with his name on it in blood red. It was taped to the fridge, at an angle that said it was placed there in a hurry. Yuki walked over there with concern growing in his eyes and picked it off the fridge. Yuki opened it to find it was a letter like the one that was in Tohru's locker.
Mr. Yuki,
You and Tohru didn't seem to get the
message so I was forced to take action.
As of right now, your beloved Tohru is
gone. Akito always wins, even in death.
Yuki dropped the letter and ran outside the open door to find not a single person was there. "TOHRU!" Yuki yelled out into the fading light. All hope left Yuki's eyes as he fell to his knees, with tears streaming down his now pale face.
