Chapter one: awakening
"What the hell?" A scream was heard, echoing off the walls of the pitch black room. The boy stood there alone, looking out into the darkness that surrounded him. Taking a step forward he frantically looked around. With his cat vision he was able to see somewhat of the way. Cautiously stepping forward, he viewed a door. A door!
"All I need to do is get to the door, and get the hell out of here!" He growled, stomping over to the escape. But at that moment his foot stumbled against something and he fell flat on his face.
"God dammit!" He shrieked as he used his hands to push himself off the floor. He turned to see a very confused and frightened Tohru Honda.
"Ah, Kyo? Where are we?" She asked in a shaky voice, visibly becoming scared.
"Like I'd know." He said as he took her hand and hoisted her up to a standing position.
"Come on, let's get out of here." He said in a calmer tone as he dragged her to the door, approaching to his destination. He pulled on the knob with his free hand, twisting and turning until he gave up.
"It won't open!" He cried out in aggravation as he glared at the damn door. He released his grip from Tohru's as he clutched the knob with both hands, pushing on it with his feet.
"SON OF A B, THIS DOOR IS STUCK!" He crumpled to the floor, exhausted.
"Kyo! Are you alright!" The girl asked worriedly.
"Yeah I am fine. But it looks like we are trapped in here for now."
A gulp was heard, from Tohru and she dropped down to the floor. Her hair covered her eyes as she squeezed the tight.
"Please let this be just a night mare! Just a night mare! WAKE UP!" She was crying now, and leaving Kyo very confused. He crawled over to her and wrapped an arm protectively around her.
"It's alright Tohru, I am here" He said softly, trying to ease her nerves. Her eyes snapped open and she darted her teal eyed gaze up into his crimson orbs.
"I am sorry Kyo," she sniffled between a sob, "I just really am afraid of the dark..."
Tohru eventually quieted down in his arms, snuggling in for warmth, since she noticed it was colder in the room than she thought. She smelt the sweet aroma of cinnamon on his shirt as she buried her head deeper into his chest. He sighed softly watching her as he cradled her petite and tiny form in his strong muscular embrace.
Wait. Embrace! I am hugging her! But, why am I not transforming? He thought, his eyebrows furrowing with deep concern and thought. Was it possible? Was the curse broken?
"Kyonkichi! Whatever are you doing here?" A loud flamboyant voice arose from the black deeps of darkness as a figure strode towards them. Long, silver hair sparkled and stood out in the pitch dark, and big yellow eyes glowed.
"A-Ayame!" Tohru cried out in surprise, lifting herself off of Kyo's chest and sitting up. Kyo grumbled form their rude interruption but was more shocked to see Ayame of all people here too.
"HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET HERE?" He asked in a raged shout.
"Oh my, am I interrupting something, mmm? Gure-san! Look who I found in the dark shadows all alone in this room! Kyonkichi is being a VERY naughty young man!" He sung in his cocky voice, echoing off the walls, making Kyo's head pound.
"Oh dear, my sweet Aya! It is true! Bad kitty! Don't take advantage of our poor defenseless flower!" Shigure cried, popping out of no where and wagging his finger. Then he took hold of Tohru's hands and lifted her up and close to him and Ayame.
"There there, princess. We will protect you from this pervert!" Shigure and Ayame said together, then giving each other a thumbs up.
"Yes!"
"NO!" Kyo shouted, breaking the two up and grabbing Tohru. Then standing in front of her.
"Stupid snake, damn dog." He growled.
"Stupid cat…" The orange neko jumped five feet in the air at the sound of the smooth, calm voice echoing right next to his ear.
Yuki smirked and took Tohru's hand. "Miss Honda, I apologize, I hope that stupid cat, dog or my horrible brother didn't do anything to you while I was absent." He said in a glowering voice, sending death glares at the three other men in the room.
"I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING YOU DAMN RAT! JUST WHERE THE HELL DID YOU ALL COME FROM!"
Kyo's eyes were narrowed in rage as he glared right back at the nezumi, fuming. The rat looked up in thought, pondering over the situation as the two other males flirted shamelessly with each other.
"Oh Gure-san, I fear we have been trapped in such a dark and scary room! Whatever shall we do!"
"Not to worry my dear Aya, I will protect you, and stay by your side, forever, my love."
"Right!" They did their thumbs up thing together as another dark and tall figure walked in from the depths of the shadows.
"Don't you two ever quit?" A monotone serious voice questioned, before sighing.
"HA'RI!" Aya pounced on the doctor, as Shigure pranced over to his side, both smiling like complete idiots.
Another sigh escaped the doctor's lips.
"Ayame, get off." Without a second to spare the snake jumped back to his place and Shigure stepped up.
"Nice to see you joined us, Ha'ri. Aha, the Mabudachi Trio has now arrived!" Shigure exclaimed enthusiastically.
"…." Hatori looked away from the two bumbling fools to find Kyo and Yuki arguing as usual as Tohru waved her hands about trying to calm them down.
He walked over calmly and stopped in front of her.
"Ah! Hello Hatori! I didn't know you were here too!" She said delightfully. She was glad that more people had shown up, it made the place seem less scary and it calmed her down.
"Yes well I didn't have much choice. I kind of just appeared here somehow…" He explained, but trailed off in the end, becoming confused with the whole problem.
"Great! They just keep popping up from no where! What the hell is this, an idiot convention!"
Yuki sighed. "Must be if you, Shigure, and Ayame are here. But Hatori, what are you doing here?"
"….I don't know."
"HOLY CRAP HATORI DOESN'T KNOW! WE ARE ALL DOOMED TO DIE! I AM SORRY THIS IS ALL MY FAULT MY ESISTANCE IS UNEXCEPTABLE I AM SORRY I OFFEND YOU ALL! IT IS ALL MY FAULT BECAUSE I AM A COMPLETE FAILURE AND MUST BE PUNISHED! I AM SORRY, IT IS MY FAULT HATORI DOES NOT KNOW! I AM SOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRYYYY!"
The sudden shrieking gave away to whom was next to be discovered in the darkened room.
"Ritsu" The others chorused, some with a drop in their voice, and others, like Tohru, with excitement and bewilderment.
"Ritchan! You're here too?" She asked as she ran up to him. He was dressed in a pink kimono and a blue bow in his hair. He hesitated his wild ranting for the moment to answer her.
"Uhm..yes…BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW I GOT HERE! I WAS AT THE HOT SPRING TESTING THE WATER AND THEN I BLACKED OUT AND ENDED UP HERE! I AM SO SORRY I AM SORRY I AM SO PATHETIC ITS ALL MY FAULT!"
Hatori rubbed his head with a hand, while Aya rolled his eyes.
"The boy needs to learn to have some self confidence!" Shaking his head in sympathy Ayame turned to Shigure who was watching with a smirk.
"Gure-san, my love, please tell me you can fix this poor hopeless boy…" He exasperated.
"Well, I know how to make him shut up if that is what you mean!" Ayame nodded, and with that Shigure strutted over to the panic-stricken boy and poked his side. He fell immediately, the room becoming quiet once more.
"JEEZ I thought that stupid monkey would never shut up.." Everyone seemed to turn their heads in the direction of the newest addition to their group, gazes all falling on the small boy with sandy brown hair and big brown eyes.
"Hiro!" Tohru exclaimed running over to him.
"Ah, stupid woman, leave me alone!"
"Hey, don't talk to Tohru that way you little brat!" Kyo hissed and Yuki sighed. Children, he thought as he brushed non-existent dust off his sleeve.
"Whatever…"
"Hiro, where is Kisa?"
"How should I know? I don't even know where I am!"
"Oh well Kisa always seems to be with you…" She said sadly.
"Well I don't see her, do you? Of course, always assuming, just because you see her with me more than you see her alone, I mean, if you kept seeing a picture of the world being flat, would you assume that it was flat as well? How stupid would that be? You should think for yourself, not what others tell you, you stupid woman. All your assumption based on what others tell you is going to end up getting you hurt or something, you stupid woman."
"Hiro!" Kyo was now behind the small child, visibly shaking with anger.
"Oh, and I guess you are assuming that I am making your girlfriend upset is that it? Does it ever occur to you that maybe she doesn't care about what I am saying? You're assuming I am being a horrible person? Accusing me of something you only assume I committed? How idiotic"
"Hiro, just give it a rest for once. We are all stressed right now, and we don't know where we are. We don't need more chaos." Yuki had come over and pushed away the cat.
"Hmph, whatever as long as we get out of here. I don't feel like being in the same room as all these morons."
"Wiseass." Kyo hissed again, but instead of pummeling the small boy into a pancake, which Hiro probably would have accused him of child abuse, he went over to Tohru to check up on her.
"You all right? Don't let what that brat say get to you. Ok?" Tohru looked up at him and gave him a small smile.
"It's ok, Kyo. I am not upset about it. Actually, to be honest, I am more upset about our current problem. How are we going to get out of here?" She looked around at the others.
Hatori, Ayame and Shigure were for once were all in serious mode, instead of it just being Hatori, and were in the far corner discussing. Hiro and Yuki were off to the side watching Ritsu wither on the floor, trying to regain his lost energy.
"Hello." Kyo and Tohru yelped as the next person seemed to appear out of no where beside them.
"K-Kureno?" Tohru gave him a confused look but said nothing else. He gave her a bored glance.
"I wonder why we are all here."
"Well how long have you been here for?" Kyo asked.
"The whole time..I woke up and saw Ayame and Shigure come and tease you two and then Hatori came and then Yuki—
"Alright Alright we get the picture!" Kyo scowled and Kureno just raised an eyebrow before walking off towards the other three adults.
"Kureno…?" Hatori spoke up first when he saw him approach them. Shigure's eyes seemed to gleam with jealousy and hate but it only lasted a brief moment.
"Akito isn't with you, is he?" Hatori asked in his stoic tone. Kureno nodded no, allowing the seahorse to sigh in slight relief.
"I wonder why we all are here…" Yuki muttered to himself as he observed the people crowded around him.
"As do I"
"HARU!" Yuki jumped as his eyes widened on the sudden appearance of Hatsuharu. Haru shook his head, a smirk forming upon his lips.
"yes?"
"…." Hiro watched the two towering teens, raising an eyebrow.
"And just where did you come from?" He said in a snooty tone. Haru's eyes drifted downward at the small boy that was glaring up at him.
"hm…I don't know. I was walking on my way home from school when I was swept into the shadows of an unknown place and city, and then I found myself here. A mystery…"
"So you got lost…" Yuki and Hiro added for him but he didn't reply, instead he was busy looking past the two and over at the adults.
"Sensei is here too, and Hatori…and Ayame. I am surprised he doesn't have you in a choke hold hugging you right now…"
"Don't jinx me…" Yuki thought aloud. He had pondered that as well. Did his brother not see him? But he let it slip his mind due to all the chaos and commotion that was occurring around him.
Haru nodded understandingly and walked over to the adults.
"Haru?" Yuki questioned his departure but clearly wasn't heard since he kept walking, either that or he chose not to listen. Then he tugged on Shigure's grey kimono to get his attention.
"Oh , Haru you are here as well?" Shigure stated more than questioned.
"Mhm."
"Interesting, let's see who we got here so far. Figure out why we are gathered in this one room together."
"OK EVERYONE! COME FORTH SO WE CAN TAKE A GROUP COUNT! CHOP CHOP!" Ayame's voice vibrated through the room.
Rolling his eyes, Yuki stepped forward, dragging Hiro with him. Tohru got up and stepped up as well as Kyo.
"Ok, lets see, we gots Ha'ri, myself, 'Gure, Hiro, Kyonkichi
"HEY DON'T CALL ME THAT!
"Tohru, Haru, Kureno, and .. Yuki? YUKI my dear brother is that you! YUKI!" Ayame pounced on his brother, who was sending him a death glare, and continued to rant on.
"It is not just mere coincidence, but fate that has brought us together to close the gap between us beautiful men, my brother!"
"Ayame get OFF OF ME!" Yuki managed to yell from the hug of doom Aya had been giving him. He shoved off his older brother and wiped off the 'Aya germs' that he was convinced stuck to his clothes. Kyo smirked, staying silent for once and just watched the rat steam.
"I can't believe I am in this hell hole with you. Like having that stupid cat here is bad enough!"
"HEY! DON'T CALL ME STUPID!"
"Then don't act stupid, stupid."
"Uhm, you guys!" Tohru was panicking again, waving her arms about in a nervous gesture.
"Don't worry about them Miss Honda. It will be over in a minute when Kyo gets his ass kicked once again…." Haru said in a calm stoic voice, not even bothering to look at her. She laughed nervously as she continued to helplessly watch the two boys get at each other's throats.
"YOU FRIGGIN COCKY ASS!"
"STUPID CAT!"
"DAMN RAT!" Yuki swiftly blocked all the cat's blows, and kicked him in the gut.
"USELESS FUR BALL!"
"GIRLY MAN!" Kyo yelled as he sent a fist flying towards the pretty boys face, but Yuki just moved out of the way and kicked the foolish cat, and sent him crashing into the wall on the opposite side of the room.
"Kyo!" Tohru cried as she ran into the darkness. She couldn't see much in front of her, but she figured from the direction he disappeared in it was best to go that way and look. She felt something hit her foot and bent down, feeling with her hands.
What she found was not Kyo, but a small package.
"Huh?" She picked it up, holding it to her chest and ran further to find Kyo.
"Kyo? Where are you?"
"Right here, stupid." She turned around only to bump into his chest.
"OOF! I am sorry! Are you ok, Kyo?" She asked in a concerned tone. He grunted and then took her hand, leading her back in the direction they came from.
"AHAHA! AND HERE COME THE LOVE BIRDS!" Ayame shouted in glee as he skipped around.
"Shut up!" Kyo shrieked.
"Miss Honda. What is that you have?" Hatori interrupted, pointing to the small package she held tightly.
"Oh! Right! I bumped into it while trying to find Kyo, but I couldn't read what it said, being how dark it is in here."
The minute she finished her sentence, a flash of lights illuminated the room. Everyone gasped and held their arms to their eyes. The light was so bright it was blinding.
"Ah!" Tohru cried as she doubled over, covering her eyes with one arm while clutching the package with the other.
"Dammit, what the HELL!" Kyo shouted to no one, cursing the lights. IT took a couple moments for their eyes to properly adjust but after that they noticed their surroundings.
The dark room turned out to be quite large. The walls were white, and there was a tile floor. In one corner they noticed a beaten couch, ripped and torn. There were various boxes about as well, and the door they noticed up ahead was bolted. It was an ordinary wooden door, but steal strips covered it, making it impossible to escape.
"Oh my….oh my…" Tohru said in a quiet and shaken voice collapsing to her knees and crawling backwards towards the door. She dropped the package and covered her hand to her mouth, eyes wide in fear.
"Tohru..?" Kyo said, eyebrows furrowed once more at her strange behavior. He turned, following the direction of her gaze and he too became just as wide-eyed as she had been.
"Holy mother….." Kyo said in a small voice.
"Kyo? Tohru?" The rest of the zodiac members turned to look at the gruesome sight they seemed to miss before.
