CHAPTER TWO! (yay!)
Tohru: Mockingjay0706 doesn't own Fruits Basket!
Me: Thanks Tohru! Kyo, why can't you be like her?
Kyo:What? *drinking carton of milk*
Me: You went to get MILK during my disclaimer? Fine, Kagura's coming! BWAHAHAHA!
Kyo: WAIT! AWW HECK NO!
-Tohru's POV-
Today was New Year's! The second New Year's I'd be spending without my mom, but Hana and Uo would be coming over to celebrate.
"Miss Honda, are you sure you don't want us to stay?" Yuki had asked me over and over again, but I didn't mind. I thought it was sweet he wanted to spend New Years with me.
"No, you missed the banquet last year, because if me, and Hana and Uo are coming over soon." I would tell him every time. Then he'd smile at me. I loved his smile, and I loved Kyo's smile too. But, I didn't see it as often as Yuki's smiles. I don't mean Shigure's smiles aren't bad too! Uhmm..
"Tohru? Tohru? Hey I asked you a question!" Kyo's voice suddenly snapped me out of my thoughts.
"Sorry!"
"Hey, you gotta stop spacing out like that!"
"Sorry!"
-At The Banquet- (Akito's POV)
As soon as everyone got there, I was ready to unveil the white wolf. She was in chains, and didn't even put up a fight. She looked at me, again, with eyes full of pure hatred as she was put into the chains, as if that was her job. She looked like she was concentrating on something, and I was beginning to feel uncomfortable.
"Looking nervous there Akito." She mockingly said.
I said," I'm not nervous," and quickly made my way to the platform I always used to begin the banquet. "Hello, everyone and Happy New Year's!"
"Happy New Year's Akito" they all responded.
"Now, before we begin, I have something to show you."
-Yuki's POV-
As we all watched what Akito had in store being unveiled, we saw a girl. A girl with brown hair and brown eyes, hair cascading down her back, just above her waist. She had a black tank top and denim shorts on, and green Vans. She had strawberry red lips and flawless skin, with the exception of a couple bruises, and she was sitting on her knees, head down.. She looked like she was sixteen. Akito said her name was Chris.
"May I present to you, the white wolf!"
Some of the adults gasped. I knew she wasn't part of our zodiac, but part of something else. It looked as though she was very hard to catch, and a strong fighter. She looked at us, one by one, as if concentrating on us.
-Kyo's POV-
She finally said something after a long time, "So what I'm getting here is that your zodiac goes by years? Because I see the bunny," Momiji jumped up and down and little brat! "-the snake, dog, and seahorse,-" Shigure and Ayame jumped up and down, while Hatori looked annoyed. The two idiots and the doctor. "-the lamb and tiger,-" Kisa and Hiro blushed."-the rat, and cow,-" Yuki smiled while Hatsuharu shrugged."-The rooster and horse,-" they just looked at each other."-the boar,-" Kagura blushed bright red."-the monkey,-" Ritsu started to apologize for something when someone put a hand over his mouth. "-and the...wait really? The cat exists? She looked my in the eyes, and smiled, which caused me to blush faintly.
"Yes, yes, yes. Now you know what everyone is. Now, can I ask how?" Akito questioned.
"Two words: Mind. Reader." She looked and sounded like this was old news, but looked at all of us one more time. Akito slapped her.
"Tell the truth." And she slapped her again. The White Wolf seemed unaffected.
"I. am.," she said defensively.
Akito kneed her in her stomach and pulled her up by her hair. She winced. "I told you to tell the truth!"
She pulled away, stood up, and got into a fighting position. "I will fight you Akito." One of Akito servants pulled the chain that was around her neck, and she fell backwards. She started to choke, and passed out from the lack of air. One of the servants pulled her away.
"Okay, let's begin." Akito said cheerfully.
The banquet was a lot awkwarder than usual, which is saying a lot. As usual, I was thrown into the "Monster Room" as Akito called it, and I just sarted to think about the girl.
The White Wolf...
The White Wolf...
I knew this name... but from where?
~FLASHBACK~
Kyo, what story do you want to hear tonight?
The White Wolf! The White Wolf, mom!
Well, okay. There once was a white wolf, and she was..
~END OF FLASHBACK~
Chris must be the granddaughter or something of the girl in the legend!
I realized something. Her grandparents were dead. In my bedtime story, it said," because she lost the bet, everyone was cursed and people came after her. She was caught and 'went up to see the sun goddess once more". That's gotta have been after her kids were born, but why did Akito want her? And then it hit me.
The granddaughter of the woman would be sacrificed to give peace between a group and the Sun Goddess, that is, if you can catch the granddaughter.
Aw Gawd. So THIS is why she wants her. To have peace between a mysterious "Sun Goddess"? I checked the clock in the room. It was time for me to be let out of this human-sized cage, and stop Chris from being sacrificed.
