The past is a hold, hard to let go
Kyoru
Disclaimer- I do NOT own fruits baskets
"You killed people! But, you're so…I mean, how am I supposed to believe that!" Kyo yelled
Ok, let's back up a week. Yeah a weeks about right. I Tohru Honda, did not like to share my past, thinking it was unimportant, I mean, the sohmas have a past that still lingers, my past is gone, or so I thought.
"Tohru, Tohru, Tohru, where are you?" Shigure call through the house Monday morning.
"I'm here." I yelled, flustered from the morning wakeup call
"Tohru is everything ok. It's not like you to wake up so late" Shigure said
"Well, uh, it's nothing; it's just, uh, nothing to worry about." Just something I have to worry about
Shigure look at me, knowing that I was the worst liar in the entire history in mankind.
If I told them the problem, either, A. they call the cops, B. they burst out laughing, C. I'm kicked out
All of that is unappealing. I'll pass on the invitation Shigure. Nice thought though. I wish I could though
All the horrible things I was involved in, but, when you think about it, its kinda a good thing. What I did. I did, not the innocent bystander. No. I was powerful, and strong, no could defeat me, no one would dare try. They were like family to me, but then they tried to kill my real family. They succeeded with the car "accident". The one I was most close to. Ahh, those were some good time, before those tragic incidents and so on.
We walked to school, as usual, the boys started to fight, like I routine "I'm gonna kick your ass" and "go ahead and try you stupid cat" comment that start the whole thing. It's surprising that this routine is pleasant, in a way. Instead of not knowing what's going to happen next at every moment of the day. I had to sleep with a sword instead of a teddy bear when I was 12. But, I had some fun. I'm kinda weird that way , thinking the thrill of the fight was fun, but I sympathies with how kyo feels when he tries to fight with Yuki all the time. I would do that, maybe I should some time, but I haven't fought in a long time, maybe I should start with kyo, or practice before that in the dojo, the fight kyo, then fight Yuki. I can't believe I let on the impression that I can protect myself, I mean, come on, I'm better than that.
"miss Honda, are you alright?" asked Yuki. Its unpleasant to hear him call my Miss Honda all the time, do I look like a miss, ok, maybe I do. I don't know actually.
"Im fine, why do you ask." I asked him
"Well, you've been looking at the sky for a while now."Yuki said, I didn't notice that I was looking at anything, I was in my own world I guess.
"No, I guess I'm out of it today, that's all, you don't have to worry." I said, hoping they wouldn't ask what it was about. They would start to laugh, I know Shigure would.
"You're going to get a crick in your neck if you look up for too long." Kyo said. He wasn't to interested about me lately. I don't blame him. I wouldn't ask either. Just because I would probably be doing the same thing. So yeah
We went to school, did whatever we had to do. We all had a P.E mile run, so we were esosted , so we headed home.
"Tohru Honda. I am here to deliver a message to the head master of." Said a young girl with long, brown hair and green eyes, bowing at me. The look on yuki and kyos face was priceless, yet, I don't want them to get the wrong idea.
"are you a rookie? You should know that I am no longer in the bisness. And you are not to compromise our status." I said in a determined voice I swore never to let out aging, and yet, I let it out so easily.
"sorry Miss Honda. My deepest apologies." She said, bowing aging. Such a young girl, almost 11. There starting younger and younger. Such a shame. She had a live ahead of her. I can tell.
"Here is my number, you can call me, then tell me your message." I said. The voice seemed to surprise, but also a bit of fear in their eyes.
"Miss Honda, if I don't mind me asking, my I call you by your real name." she said with a smirk
"or maybe by 'captain' or 'master' or maybe even ki.."
I slapped her. What has gotten into me, I, I mean Tohru Honda would never do that. I mean, she was so young. But my life was so precious to me, I didn't want to ruin it, if it wasn't already .
"Learn your place." I stood before her, looking down at her with threatening eyes.
"but why." She whispered. I saw a few tears fall onto the pavment "why wont you come back. Everyone need you.! You know what the fourth of November brings to us! So why wont you help us! Why! Life will never be the same for you, what youv done., so why not come back, youll be normal there!" she said looking up at me with those green eyes, tear continuing to fall.
I had so much sypithy for her, and the others, so, I had to help. I lended out a helping had to her, looking at her with gentle eyes. She took it. And we walk home. Both kyo and yuki had something to say about what had happened, but they both understood that we were going to talk about it later. That time I feared the most.
We went home, and I sat in the dinning room(whatever they call where they eat.) and sheared a cup of green tea. I look deeply into the cup, the one stick up.
"life here is to presous to me to give it up so easyliy. Life ther is so…you knoe how it works," I said to the girl, still looking into the cup
She was about to say something then I remembered how she so carelessly said my position infront of the boys. "make sure you don't say anything to forward these wall have ears. I still remember the code, so if that would benefit you, I'm fine with that as well."
"I'm not to fluent in the code, so I'll stick with not saying anything to forward. " she said, seeming embaressed.
"don't worry, it didn't come naturally to me either." I said reassuring her
"really! Well that's good to know." She said with a smile.
"so, umm, the massage." I asked her, amking sue I didn't keep her here to long, they might punish this sweet girl.
"right, well, its actually a note. Here" she handed me a note, with the organizations signature.
"thank you. Im glad you got here safely, do you need to refuel on anything? I still have some things." I said
"um, some b….." she looked at me, knowing she was not to be too forward.
"come, I'll show you the storage." I said. We walked a few mile out into the woods, where I hide my "goods" incase there was an attack. I dusted off the dirt and leaves, to reveal a hidden door in the ground. We went down the stairs to see all my altillery. I know it sound a bit much, but we needed it back when I was in the orginasation.
"ok, bombs and bullets over here, high power guns over there, poison gas bombs in that room, and the lasers are over there." I said, surprisingly with a smile, no surprise to the others though.
"you sure have your stuff down." She said gazing aroung the room.
"well, I don't want to bragg, but im always pepared." I said " but so do you, you even had your plot down and everything I said to her.
"You liked it" she said, her grin getting wider.
"anyone would have fallen for it. I could never bring on real tears, guess im not as good as you are." I said patting her head. She looked up smiling.
"You got everything?" I asked her while she packed her backpack.
"yes, thank you so much for all youv done, but I have to get back." She said
"I never did catch your name." I said.
"Mikozo, Mikozo Ruku." She said
"Your Misumis daughter, who would have thought, tell her I said hi" I said.
"ok" she said smiling.
"Well, I don't know if ill see you agine, but it was nice to meet you" I said waveing
She had left. The letter was in my hand. I was about ready to smash it and burn it, but last time I did that, the next day my mother died.
I went back into the house , knowing I was in for the talk of my life.
Review if you want chapter 2! Thanks :3
