This, this is…The Only One
"Shigure-san what did we just do?" Elizabeth asked as they walked out the school building.
"You two just did an entry test too your new school!" Shigure smiled.
"WHAT!? YOU BASTARD HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO US!? YOU DIDN'T EVEN ASK!" Kyo yelled.
"Quiet down Kyo, there are people staring…" Shigure said looking around and started walking a bit faster.
"So this is why Shigure-san is wearing a suit? Isn't there a lot of people that school?" Elizabeth asked, Now that I think about it, I don't really want to go to school…
Shigure looked at Elizabeth, "Don't worry everything is going to be fine…"
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN EVERYTHING'S GOING TO BE FINE! DUMB DOG YOU TRICKED US INTO GOING TO SCHOOL!"
"Kyo! I'm not the one who decided…"
"SHUTUP!" Kyo yelled in Shigure's face.
Bicker, bicker, bicker…
First time I actually get to walk in a city and everyone around me is arguing…even a mother and child across the road.
And the cars driving by makes it louder and more frustrating!
WHAM!
"Kyo, I said listen for a second!" Shigure shouted
"SHUTUP!" Kyo yelled, "DO YOU ENJOY MANIPULATING PEOPLE!?" Kyo yelled.
"Wait a second! About enjoyment, although I do enjoy it, this is also for your own good too!" Shigure yelled.
Elizabeth stayed at the door suddenly frozen in thought.
"YOU'RE NOT BEING THE LEAST BIT PERSUASIVE!" Kyo shouted.
Tohru turned around, "Welcome back, dinners ready…"
"I'M NOT EATING!" Kyo yelled walking away.
"Kyo! You shouldn't take it out on Tohru-kun! Also please enter from the main entrance. And don't forget to take off your shoes!" Shigure yelled taking off his on shoes behind the dining table.
Yuki looked up, "Shigure, you really don't have any persuasive power."
"This is the first time I've seen you in a suit it looks great!" Tohru said and then looked at the door, "Elizabeth-san are you coming in?"
Elizabeth snapped out of her thinking, "Ah! Yes! Sorry about that!" Elizabeth took off her shoes and set them on the carpet near the door and sat at the table.
"Do I really look nice?" Shigure said with his hand on his chin to look serious.
"Looks like a butler, if you ask me…" Yuki replied.
"Oh! Dinner's ready." Shigure exclaimed.
"That…that…Kyo-san he…" Tohru said.
"Him!? He's only throwing one of his temper tantrums don't mined him!" Shigure waved his hand.
Elizabeth put some food into her mouth.
"Because I tricked him and Elizabeth into taking a transfer student entrance test." Shigure said.
Elizabeth eyebrows twitched.
"Transfer?" Tohru tilted her head.
"Which means starting from tomorrow, Kyo-kun and Elizabeth-san will be going to the same Highschool with you." Shigure smiled.
A dark aura formed around Yuki as he stood up, "You can't eat. You are not allowed to be close. Get out...!" Not that Elizabeth is a problem…
"Mmm…I knew you'd be angry." Shigure said.
"Hmmm, I don't get it, what is he angry about?" Elizabeth asked.
"Nothing in your concern…" Yuki smiled.
"You seem not to have noticed…Yuki and Kyo are like enemies." Shigure said, "Oh, it's terrible!"
"?"
"Kyo…even after he made it into an all boys' school, he didn't want to go. Disappeared for more than more than four months. Nobody knew where he was, but he told me today where he was, but he told me today, He was training in the mountains." Shigure explained.
"Training?" Tohru and Elizabeth asked.
"The type of training in which you stand under a waterfall and fight bears?" Yuki asked.
"Mmm, something likes that." Shigure said.
"What exactly is he training for?" Elizabeth asked.
"Because Kyo wants to beat Yuki in a fight. Those two have been rivals ever since they were little." Shigure told her.
Okay…I'm still learning new things about the world but school seems like a step too far ahead.' Elizabeth thought as she walked outside.
Since I don't have and don't want a room I sleep outside in a tree but everyone else thinks I sleep on the couch, but sleeping in a room makes me just feel weird, out here it feels better, I'm breathing fresh air all night long.
Elizabeth grabs the closes tree and climbs up, and since basically I've been sleeping on hard floors every day of my life till I was pretty used to it so it's not hard to find a comfortable spot. I should get good rest before school…but I actually don't want to go to school, why am I so afraid?
Elizabeth laid high in a tree and relaxed and set her timer on her watch.
She looked up at the moon and the stars.
Then she looked at the house and saw Kyo on the roof.
It doesn't seem that he's going to notice me up here he's just staring down. Not like he cares…isn't that what he said or am I being an airhead.
Sometimes I feel so frustrated…
I just feel like punching something sometimes…so instead of hurting someone, I hurt myself.
Elizabeth put her hands behind her head, Tomorrow might be a bad day…but I shouldn't think of it that way.
I'm sitting in a seat and a bunch of guys are around me asking questions that I can't catch up with because the girls around Kyo are mixing up everything everyone's saying things.
I finally get hold of a question, "My name is Sohma Elizabeth, nice too meet everyone…" Elizabeth says shakily sweating at the same time.
Saki twirled Tohru's hair.
"His hair color isn't bad! And the other one looks good with purple hair." Saki said in a monotoned voice.
"His hair looks a bit like Kyouko-san's!" Arisa exclaimed.
"Right it does, doesn't it!" Tohru smiled.
"Yes, the same." Saki said.
"Same is same, I feel the same electromagnet wave that Souma Yuki has…but the purple haired girl…it's like she has some type of power or something…" Saki said looking up.
"A new wave eh? She looks different, but she also looks very frustrated if you ask me." Arisa said.
"C-Can you guys p-please move back." Elizabeth said with a nervous look with her hands in front of her.
The guys moved back but kept talking.
Elizabeth put both of her hands on her head as if it was going to explode.
Kyo looked annoyed as well and jumped out of seat, "Eh…!? Where are you going…"
The voice trailed off out of Elizabeth's mind soon everyone's voices, were gone.
Wait, wait what just happened!
Elizabeth's eyes snapped open as she was on the roof, the roof! I climbed the roof and I wasn't even looking!
-in the classroom—
"Whoa! Where'd she go!"
"It's like she's a spider monkey and she climbed to the roof!"
Then…
"LEAVE ME ALONE!" Kyo jumps out the window.
"No! This is the second floor!"
Kyo lands on his feet and runs away.
"Souma-kun's cousin's are interesting!"
"The question isn't that, a girl just climbed floors up to the roof and a boy just jumped two floors down!"
"It hurts! I'm a girl! How can he do that!"
"Wow, they're both very interesting!" Arisa shouted.
-on the roof-
Gosh, Yuki-san is probably mad that I did such a shameful thing, it's not like a normal person would climb up a wall like there was a ladder.
What if someone thinks I'm spiderwoman or something! I'm so stupid!
Elizabeth punched the roof sending a cracking noise in her hand.
I'm always so frustrated, why can't I just be a normal girl, with a normal life, with normal knowledge of the world.
Elizabeth punched the roof again with the same hand, Why do I have to be the only one! Why am I so frustrated!?
I'm always wondering, what happened to my parents, brothers, sisters…did they die?
What about me!? Am I some mutant or something!? The only person with natural purple hair?
Is it really that way? Couldn't this be a dream? Wasn't I supposed to die from falling out the window?
Elizabeth kept punching the roof, Am I a clone, or what? Wasn't I supposed to die without eating for two weeks? Who am I?
Tears flow out of Elizabeth's eyes, Is my name really even Elizabeth? Who am I really?
Elizabeth heard a step behind her, not realizing she said that out loud.
"You're a person." Tohru said with a smile on her face.
"Then why am I so different?" Elizabeth asked.
Tohru sat next to Elizabeth, "Everyone's different in different ways, everyone is also special in there own ways, you are a very special person, too."
Elizabeth's eyes widened.
A special person?
Akito told me all those things, yet they weren't even true. But…
"Then…then…why am I so afraid…afraid of such little things…" Elizabeth covered her face.
"Because everyone is afraid of something…that's what makes you different…" Tohru smiled, "Nobody out here is perfect."
Elizabeth looked at Tohru and smiled, "You're right."
They gave eachother hugs.
"That's right…no human being can be the same, even if they are twins, there will be something different about them. This is why no one can be perfect. Just believe in yourself."
Elizabeth told Tohru that she would look for Kyo for her so she can go to class.
My hand hurts, I punched the roof too hard…
"I WILL WIN! I WILL DEFEAT YOU!" Kyo yelled, "I will defeat you, then officially become one of the twelve zodiacs! I ill not be excluded from the Sohma Family anymore!"
"I will…" Kyo grabbed Yuki's collar, "WIN!"
Are they about to fight? During school!?
"Kyo-san you can't fight!" Elizabeth yelled grabbing on to Kyo.
"Get the hell off of me!"Kyo shoved Elizabeth away sending her to the ground.
"YOU JUST SHUTUP AND STAY OUT OF THIS! ALL YOU DO IS MAKE IT WORSE! YOU'RE SO STUPID! I CAN FIGHT IF I WANT! YOU'RE SO USELESS! DON'T BOTHER ME! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? YOU'RE IN THE WAY!"
Elizabeth stared down, "You useless bitch! You're in the way! Why won't you tell me…!" Akito yelled and grabbed Elizabeth's collar.
"I don't know!"
Yuki and Kyo watched the tears rush down Elizabeth's face.
So I really am useless!
Elizabeth stood up, "I-I…I'm sorry…Kyo-san…" Elizabeth started walking away and punched the wall sending blood from cuts. Her eyebrows twitched a bit in anger.
"I'm…going…" Elizabeth didn't finish what she was saying and ran away.
"Hey…wait!" Kyo yelled trying to run after Elizabeth.
Elizabeth kept running and Kyo grabbed her arm.
Elizabeth shoved him away, "GO AWAY!" she shouted, I can hurt you.
Kyo froze and let Elizabeth ran away from the school.
I-I'm so stupid! I yelled at him too! I really am useless! Maybe I should go back to Akito and become some blind unknown person again! It seemed better that way! It really did!
Elizabeth kept running.
Being homeschooled was better! In class I made a complete idiot of myself! Someone said I was like a spider monkey! What is this 'BEN 10' !?
Why am I so stupid!
Elizabeth stood in the woods.
Like walking will make things better, the first person I see in my life, and I yell at him!?
Elizabeth walked off the path and passed the house to climb a tree.
I feel better in the most highest places…but I'm still feeling sad…sorrow…for sixteen years I felt lonely so lonely…even when the waitress talked to me, but she wasn't allowed to and I heard Akito slap her in the face.
I wanted to escape then…when I was nine I wanted to escape but I as too afraid…
Akito convinced me…he said that this was a cruel world…but he didn't lie…it really is…you don't even have to have an explanation, the world is full with, wars, money, fights, pollution, and no one even thinks about it.
Maybe my whole life would be useless, so worthless, I'm nothing.
"You're not allowed to ask me questions! God asks the questions! Comparing you to everyone else your nothing!"
If I'm nothing then why am I here?
Why am I alive?
Why am I not a ghost roaming the city and scaring people away.
MAYBE I SHOULD JUST FALL OFF THIS TREE!
Elizabeth went all the way to the top of the tree and…fell.
Whoosh!
"I always say to her some wrong things…" Kyo said.
"Which her?" Shigure asked.
"I yelled at Elizabeth then she said she was going 'somewhere' so I stopped her but then she yelled at me and left. No one even knows where she is." Kyo explained.
"If you know you'll regret it afterwards, don't yell at her…you're hopeless…" Shigure said.
"It's impossible…I…am not suited for living with other people." Kyo said.
"Don't you think Elizabeth would think the same about herself as the same? The only two people she really lived with was Akito and a waiter, plus Hatori visited…but…" Shigure went on, "Although there are people like that, but you are just purely lacking experience." Shigure noted, "For example, you can chop a table in half with one hit… you can stop your fist… You can control your strength with punches right? You should've learned that in the mountains fighting bears!"
"I DID NOT FIGHT BEARS!" Kyo yelled.
He he…
"Dealing with people is the same way." Shigure continued, "The only difference is that this training is not in the mountains, but in a city where people live. In dealing with others, sometimes you hurt others or get hurt. If you don't learn from other people, then you will never become an understanding person. You may be a black belt in martial arts, but dealing with people you are a white belt. Someday, someone will love you. No you must not run away, you must continue training."
"There are people like that?" Kyo asked.
"What will you do if there is?" Shigure asked.
"Hard to imagine." Kyo said.
"I'm back!" Yuki said coming in the room.
Kyo started to leave.
"Welcome back! Where's Tohru?" Shigure asked.
"She went to her job, she says dinner needs to be preheated." Yuki said.
"Ah, go get her there are real perverts around here." Shigure said.
Then Yuki left the room.
"Wait, Kyo, while Yuki picks up Tohru you should find Elizabeth before something bad happens." Shigure said.
Something bad already happened.
I fell off a tree but I'm not dead unless this is my ghost form laying down in the woods. I feel too much pain to get up but…
A normal person would of died if they fell from the top of a tree that's probably almost 100ft, tall.
Elizabeth gathered all her strength and got up, climbing the tree again slowly from pain, Maybe if I fall twice Ill finally brake my almost broken neck an die. But do I really want to die, for just one mistake I did.
Elizabeth sat limply on the tree.
Even if I'm useless, even if I'm worthless?
Who would be sad?
Would I still be sad.
My pain takes over my body but mostly from hurtful words.
I can't do this anymore…
Maybe I can sit up here for the rest of my life and die peacefully…
Wham!
Elizabeth punched the tree with all her might.
I wish I could calm down…
Soon as that Elizabeth was hurting all over and didn't know what to do.
Woo…
A nice breeze to burn my cuts…
I feel like I'm already dead unless I'm just unconscious…
Where could she be?' Kyo thought.
Kyo walked through the woods and looked up to see if she was in any trees.
Kyo kept walking.
Then he heard something move in the trees and he looked up and saw Elizabeth in the tree.
"Elizabeth?" Kyo saw all the cuts on her arm and dirt.
Elizabeth turned around, looking dull, "Kyo-san, what do you need." Elizabeth said rudely.
"You don't add that –san at the end. Just call me Kyo." Kyo told her.
"Kyo-kun?" Elizabeth asked.
"I said it's ok!" Kyo yelled.
"I was just testing it out." Elizabeth said.
"DON'T CALL ME FOR NO REASON!" Kyo yelled.
Elizabeth looked at him, then looked away.
"Ah! Ah…no…it's alright. You can say my name for no reason…Hanging around me is okay too, If you're mad, you can just hit me, when you want to instead of punching the wall or…a tree." Kyo said.
"Hah…I only hit the wall and tree to not force my anger on others…and I don't have enough energy to hit you…I wouldn't even hurt a fly, when I'm frustrated I only hurt myself," Elizabeth turned around and smiled, "So I'm not mad anymore, I actually want to be friends with the first person I met…ah…yeah."
Kyo blushed and looked away, "Let's hurry home!"
Elizabeth slumped, "About that…in the process of frustration, I fell of the tree on purpose to basically hurt myself hoping I…I don't want to talk about it b-but,"
"WHAT! JUST SAY IT ALREADY!" Kyo yelled.
"I want to stay out here for a while." Elizabeth said.
"No, you can't it's too dark and you'll probably fall off again and brake your neck!" Kyo said thinking of all the possible things that can happen.
Elizabeth suddenly slumped to the side of the tree falling into unconsciousness.
"Huh?"
Man, I could of used the rest of my energy to at least climb own the tree, I'm so stupid! At least I'm in a perfectly good spot so I won't fall off.
For some reason every day I can only use a certain amount of energy and then it's like I automatically fall asleep on a certain time of day. It's been like this since I was born. I think it's a limit to the only one…
Kyo climbed up the tree, "Er…"
Elizabeth's eyes were closed.
"HEY! IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP! YOU CAN'T JUST FALL ASLEEP LIKE THAT!" Kyo yelled.
Well actually she can…
Kyo sighed and looked at Elizabeth and then he picked her up and climbed down the tree.
Then he walked home.
The end.
I mean like of this chapter. Duh~~~
