Chapter 1: The Visitor"Dinner's ready!" Tohru called out.
She had been busy cooking dinner as she always did for the Sohmas every evening. But tonight was different…
"Hello? Yuki? Kyo? Shigure? Where are you?"
Tohru was now getting worried. Usually, the Sohmas stayed home with Tohru, and they never all went out at once. Now, Tohru started searching around the house to see if she could maybe find even one of them. But her attempt was at a loss, so she headed back to the kitchen.
"Oh, I left dinner out all this time! Well, I'll just put it in the fridge until they get back."
(-.-)
It was getting very late, and Tohru was starting to doze off as she waited patiently, when she heard the familiar noise of the door opening.
Swish
"Oh! They must be back!" Tohru said enthusiastically to herself.
But when she went to the door to greet them, she did not see the Sohmas, but a strange figure standing before her.
"Who are you?" Tohru said quietly, like a whisper, for the door had been locked and the Sohmas had the key.
But the figure did not respond. It only waved it's hand over it's head, causing all the lights to go out in the house. Then it started to walk towards her.
"What do you want?"
Still no answer. The only thing that changed was the distance between Tohru and the stranger. Now Tohru started to step backwards.
"Why are you here?"
I have come for you. To return something that is rightfully yours. Something I borrowed. Please accept it.
By now Tohru had run out if room to step back, and the figure was standing right in front of her. It raised it's hand and placed it on her forehead. Suddenly, Tohru felt dizzy and weak. She felt as if something was being forced into her mind, she didn't know what to do. When the figure's hand lifted off her forehead, she slowly sank to her knees, feeling as if she had just ran into a brick wall at full force.
The stranger then leaned over near her ear as if it was to whisper something, but then it's ears pricked up. The stranger then silently slipped out of the house with speed, and as soon as he left, the lights of the house flickered back on, as if nothing had happened. Now Tohru was left alone on the floor, feeling cold and weak. And alone.
