As me and Tohru make supper I ask Tohru about her mother. We talk about her and after awhile I say.
"Your mother sounds like a wonderful woman I'm sure you miss her a lot."
"Yes, she was and I do miss her but now I get to be here with Kyo and Yuki and I'm happy."
"It's good that your happy, I'm not that happy even now with the curse but I'm glad to have my family here with me and now I even have friends."
"You never had friends before?"
"Nope I was too afraid that they would find out about the curse and I also have a bad temper."
"Oh, Kyo has a bad temper too you know."
"Yah I know" I say with a laugh. "Do you know where Kyo is?" I ask.
"He's probably on the roof, it's his favorite place to relax."
"Really, cool."
"Miss Honda" Yuki says walking in. "How long before supper is ready."
"Just a little while longer Yuki."
"Okay, thank you. "He walks out.
"Why does he call you Miss Honda?"
"Um.. I don't know
I guess it's just proper."
"Oh" I say. We finish making
supper and then set the table. When we finish Tohru asks
"Can you tell Kyo that supper is ready."
"Okay" I respond "How does he get on the roof."
"He climbs a ladder on the side of the house."
"Thanks" I say and I go outside. I wander around the side of the house until I see the ladder. I climb up saying "Kyo the food is ready do you want to eat."
"Fine" he replies and I climb down the ladder waiting for him to come down. After a couple of minutes I leave and go back to the living room. I sit down next to Tohru and say
"Kyo is coming I just don't know when."
"Okay" Tohru replies. When we're all almost done Kyo walks in and sits down. I finish before any of the others. I go to the kitchen to start the dishes and am joined a little while later by Tohru. We both clean up and when it's all clean in the kitchen again I go to find Shigure. I find him in the living room watching TV with Yuki.
"Bye Shigure ,Bye Yuki" I say as I walk in.
"Bye Calisa" Shigure says getting up and giving me a hug.
"Goodbye" Yuki says waving and I go to find Tohru again. When I find her I hug her goodbye and say
"When you see Kyo tell him I said goodbye."
"Sure." Tohru says and I leave.
When I get home I tell my mother that I met Yuki and Tohru. She says that Shigure already told her. We talk for awhile and then I go to bed.
On Monday ( 2 day since I talked to Yuki and Tohru.) I see Tohru, Momiji, Haru, Yuki and Kyo outside. Tohru introduces me to everyone and Momiji gives me a hug hello as I say hi to everyone else.
We head into the school and Tohru introduces me to Uo and Hana.
"You have strange waves" Hana says "Almost like Yuki's and Kyo"
"Well I'm a distant cousin of Kyo's" I say calmly "Maybe that's what your sensing."
"Maybe so" says Hana as I walk away to my class.
For the next month I hang around with all of them often. Eventually I go to Shigure's again on a Saturday. I'm sitting in the living room with Kyo, and Yuki, watching TV while Tohru makes lunch(Which she didn't want me to help her with.) and Momiji shows up unexpectedly.
"Hi Guys" Momiji says.
"Why are you here." Kyo asks.
"I wanted to invite Calisa to the main house so she could meet the rest of the Zodiac."
"That sounds cool" I say standing up "Should we head over now."
"Sure" Says Momiji happily running for the door.
"I'm going to say bye to Tohru and Shigure first" I say heading for the kitchen.
"Okay" Momiji says following me. I tell Tohru that I'm going to the main house then I tell Shigure and we leave. When we get to the main house Momiji leads me past Akito's building where Akito is watching me through his window but I don't even notice him because Momiji is telling me about the Zodiac members that he's going to introduce me too. He shows me where he lives then where Haru lives then we go to Kisa's and I meet Kisa and Hiro. Momiji shows me where Hiro lives then he shows me where Hatori lives and introduces me to Hatori. When we are leaving Hatori's we see Akito standing outside Hatori's door
"I need to talk to you Calisa."
"Okay, bye Momiji thanks " I say giving Momiji a smile and walking away behind Akito. We go to Akito's room where he talks to everyone. I close the door behind me and kneel down with my legs tucked under me. Akito opens his door to the outside and then stands in front of me.
"You know why we're here."
"Yes"
"Why?"
"Because I talked to the other Zodiac members"
"Didn't I tell you not to talk to them"
"Yes"
"Then why did you talk to them."
"Because Shi.. ,I mean I wanted them to know about me and I wanted to meet them." I realize I can't mention Shigure or Akito may get mad at him.
"You do remember what I told you I would do if you talked to the other Zodiac members."
"No"
"I told you I would erase you from your mothers and sisters memory."
"But you can't.." I say standing up.
"I can"
"Don't please."
"What are you going to do then?"
"Not talk to any of the Zodiac again." I say sadly hanging my head.
"Don't talk to any of the Sohma's again."
"But,"
"Don't talk to them." there's a pause then he says "Leave." I bow and leave. As I'm crossing the grounds Momiji walks over and asks me what Akito said. Before I answer I look back and see Akito in the window. Tears come to my eyes and I hurry away as Momiji stands there wondering what happened. I go home and I tell my mother that I can't talk to the Sohma's again and I go to my room.
All Sunday I'm thinking of what I can do to let them know why I can't talk to them. I realize that Akito didn't say I couldn't talk to Tohru. On Monday when I see Tohru and the Sohma's at school I walk over and say hi to Tohru. Then I draw her aside and say to her
"Akito told me not to talk to the Sohma's anymore."
"Why"
"He'll erase me from my mothers and my sisters memory and move me to the main house."
"Oh , I see, do you want me to explain it to them."
"Please Tohru."
"Sure."
"Thank you Tohru."
"Can you talk to me still?"
"Yes, he didn't say you specifically so I'm going to pretend he didn't mean you" I say with a small smile.
"Are you sure it's okay to do that."
"I don't care I need at least one friend to help me, now that I've made friends I don't want to lose them."
"It's okay" Tohru says giving me a hug. "I'll tell them and we'll all stay friends."
"Thank you" Tohru walks over to the others and tells them what I said as I walk away. I see Tohru at lunch again and I eat lunch with Tohru, Uo, and Hana. After awhile I notice that Tohru is watching all the Sohma's. I get up to throw out my trash and say
"Tohru if you want to go eat with them that's okay, I don't need to see you every day."
"No it's not that."
"I'm going now, see you later." I say walking away. Tohru looks hurt but she goes and sits with the Sohma's. For the rest of the week I just say hello to Tohru, I don't hang around her. On Thursday as I'm eating lunch outside Kyo walks over. I get up quickly and go to walk away and he grabs my arm.
"Calisa why are you doing what Akito says."
"I can't talk to you Kyo" I say as I twist my arm out of his grasp and start to walk away again. He hits me in the back of the head
"What the hell is your problem don't you understand I can't talk to you." I say spinning around.
"Why, What did Akito say he would do if you talked to us" I stand there for a minute then I hurry off crying. Kyo just stands there Dumbfounded then he heads inside. I stay outside as It starts raining and I start to feel very tired. I always feel tired when it rains. I stay outside for a while before I realize that I'm soaked to the bone. Since school ends in a little while I decide to head home and am leaving the school grounds when I see Akito standing against the wall. I hesitate then continue walking ignoring him. He calls my name and I keep walking. He grabs my arm as I walk past him and turns me around saying
"Your heading the wrong way." I ignore him twisting my arm out of his grip (like I did when Kyo grabbed it.) and continue walking home. He grabs my hair and yanks me back leaning close to my ear
"You live in the main house now." I try to pull away saying
"I don't live there and I never will" and I grab Akito's hand and try to pull it out of my hair. I struggle for a minute before he lets go and I fall to the ground in front of him. He kicks me repeatedly saying
"You didn't listen to me so I had you erased from your families memory. You live in the main house now." Kids are leaving the school now so he acts like he's checking what's wrong with me and leans down as he whispers "I'll see you later" and he walks away. I try to get up but I fall down again and realize I have a fever. I lean against the wall and try to gather my strength. As I sit there Yuki, Kyo and Tohru come out of the school. Tohru sees me and run over. Yuki and Kyo follow.
"Calisa are you okay what happened." I just stare blankly at her. She feels my head
"Yuki she's burning up we have to get her home."
"Okay" Yuki says and he picks me up with an arm under my head and the other one under my knees. He turns told my old house. I say very softly
"I don't live there anymore." Yuki hears me and he leans in.
"What do you mean." He asks
"I don't live there" I repeat as I black out.
I wake up to Tohru putting a cloth on my head. (By the way Tohru changed my clothes and Yuki put me in the bed.)
"Tohru" I say softly "Where are we."
"Oh you're awake, We're at Shigure's , Hatori is coming over to take care of you."
"Okay" I say and I drift off to sleep again. When I wake up again the room is empty. It's not raining anymore and I don't feel as tired. I go to get out of bed and Hatori walks in.
"You have to stay in bed for awhile longer."
"No, I'm all set" I say as I stand up. My legs collapse and I fall onto the floor. "I guess your right" I say as he helps me back into the bed. "Whose room am I using anyway."
"It's my room" Kyo says as he and Tohru walk into the room
"Are you feeling better now." Tohru asks
"A little thanks, Tohru." Hatori takes out a syringe.
"Can I see your arm." He says I give him my arm and I cringe as he gives me the shot. "You should be better soon, just stay in bed and eat some food and you should be fine." He says as he packs up leaves.
"What happened?" Tohru asks sitting by the bed "Why were you outside."
"I was outside at lunch and I lost track of time when I realized it was raining I decided to head home and when I got to where you found me I sat down to rest."
"Then where are all the bruises from." Kyo asked
"What bruises?" I say turning away.
"Don't play stupid you have bruises all over you?" Kyo yelled.
"What do you care if I do or not." I yell turning back around
"I care.." Tohru says quietly
"I'm sorry Tohru."
"Well, answer me already" Kyo yells.
"I can't" I yell at him "Don't you think I would have told you already if I could."
"What's going on?." Yuki asks walking in.
"She won't tell us what the hell happened." Kyo yells and I cringe because his yelling is giving me a headache.
"Shut up you stupid cat your giving us all headaches."
"Oh well, you deserve it you stupid rat."
"Shut up!!!" I yell holding my head "Just be quiet."
"Are you okay." Tohru says in a worried voice
"Yah, just a headache" I answer giving Tohru a smile.
"Do you want to tell us what happened." Yuki asks
"Of course, that doesn't mean I can." I say slowly staring at the wall.
"Was it Akito." Yuki asks quietly. I stay silent.
"It doesn't matter, all that matters now is I don't have a family anymore." I say, quietly starting to cry.
"What, what do you mean." Kyo says.
"I was erased from their lives, Okay, they don't remember me ever being there." I yell.
"You mean their memories were erased ?" Tohru asks.
"Yes." I say quietly
"So to them you were never alive."
"Yes"
"Where do you live now." Yuki asks.
"Akito said I live in the main house." There's silence then
"Wait Akito told you, When?" Kyo says.
"Never mind." I say turning away quickly.
"No, not never mind, you better tell us now." Kyo said moving over to the bed.
"No."
"Fine." Kyo says turning around. Then suddenly he whips around and I catch his arm an inch from my face.
"Did you really think that that would work, Kyo" I say still holding his arm as I swing my legs off the bed. I stand up and pull him toward me quick and kick him sending him flying across the room. He gets up and comes at me quick as I fall down to the floor. Yuki steps in front of him and blocks him.
"Let's finish this later" I say as Tohru helps me get up again and onto the bed. Kyo just walks out of the room. I lay down and fall asleep as Tohru and Yuki left the room. When I wake up again it was really late and I was really hungry. I got off the bed slowly this time and stood for a minute to make sure I could walk. I went to the kitchen and started making some supper for myself. As I was making it Kyo walked in from outside.
"What were you doing out there, It's too late to be practicing."
"I was sleeping if you really need to know."
"Where were you sleeping? on the roof."
"Where else would I sleep."
"No clue, want some food."
"No."
"Fine, night"
"Night" he said walking outside. After I ate I went outside figuring I wouldn't be able to fall asleep after eating. I sat outside on the porch watching the stars and I fell asleep anyway. Kyo woke me up by hitting me off the head as he headed outside. I went inside and went to the kitchen to get some breakfast. When I went to the living room I saw they had all eaten already and Tohru was cleaning up.
"What time is it." I asked as I sat down.
"About 9 o'clock." Shigure answered and I started eating, watching TV with them. When I finished I went into the kitchen and helped Tohru finish the dishes. I borrow a pair of pants and a T-shirt from Tohru. After that I went outside to the woods for a walk. I reached a clearing and lied down staring up through the trees. As I started to drift off I heard a twig snap in the woods behind me. I got up quickly and looked around to see who was there. Akito stepped out into the clearing and started walking toward me saying
"There you are Calisa, I was worried when you didn't come home last night." I turned away from him and he stepped in front of me saying. "It's time to go home Calisa"
"I'm not going."
"Why not" He asked with an amused smile
"I don't live there." I responded as I tried to walk around him
" You don't live here either" He said putting his hand on my shoulder. I made a move to brush his hand off and he grabbed my hand and when I tried to kick him he twisted my arm behind my back.
"Let me go!!" I screamed trying to loosen his grip on my arm. He covered my mouth with his free hand
"Do you really think that they can help you, they don't dare go against me." He said leaning in close. He let go and I fell to the ground. As he went to kick me I rolled away and got up quickly. He slammed into me and I went flying back into a tree. I got up checking the back of my head and felt blood coming out of a cut on my head. I looked around and saw Akito standing by me. I moved away from him in the direction of the house and he moved so he was blocking my path.
"Why do you insist on going where you don't belong." He said as I tried to move around him. I stood there staring at him thinking and I decided I would turn away from the house and run into the woods so I could double back around to the house. I turned around and ran into the trees. I ran for awhile before I realized that I was lost and I had no clue whether I was still on Shigure's property or not. I sat down and figured out which direction I had to go in to get back to the house. Then I just went that way for awhile before I thought about the fact that I might have run to far to the side so I continued walking hoping that it was the right direction. After awhile I found a pond and washed the blood out of my hair and washed the cut. I continued walking and after awhile I got very tired so I sat down.
"Calisa" someone called "Calisa" I yelled back.
"I'm over here, who's calling me."
"You guys I heard her come here." I heard Momiji. I listened for a minute then I yelled
" I'm over here" getting up I peered through the trees. I caught a glimpse of blonde and white hair over to the right. I ran that way yelling
"Haru, Momiji wait."
"Calisa?" Haru said turning toward my voice.
"Calisa!!!" Momiji said running into me. I gave Momiji a big hug as Haru called all the others over.
"Calisa!!" Tohru said giving me a hug as well.
"Are you okay?" Yuki asked catching up.
"Yah, how long was I out here."
"Since before lunch so probably 3 hours."
"That long. How long were you looking."
"For about 1 hour."
"I'm sorry you guys."
"you should be sorry." Kyo said showing up finally. "Why were you out here anyway."
"I went for a walk."
"And you got this lost."
"What happened to your head?" Asked Momiji.
"Nothing" I said quickly stepping back so no one was behind me. "Let's go."
"Shigure's house is this way" Haru said turning to the right.
"It's back this way Haru" Yuki said as he turned around and led the way. We all walked in silence and I stayed in the back so no one could see my head. When we got to Shigure's I saw Shigure sitting on the porch.
"Calisa where were you." he said getting up.
"Somewhere out in the middle of the woods taking a walk."
"You got lost."
"Pretty much." I said following everyone else into the house. As I pass him he sees my head.
"What happened?" He said reaching for my head.
"Nothing, I just fell." With the help of Akito I thought, As I moved away from Shigure a bit.
"You know I really don't believe that but okay."
"By the way, I'm going to the main house to see where I'm supposed to be living now.."
"Now I really don't believe you but, If you say you are I can't stop you."
"Thanks Shigure." I walk into the house and see everyone settled in the living room.
"Momiji when are you and Haru heading back to the main house?" I say as I sit down.
"In a little while."
"Mind if I walk back with you."
"Nope, Kyo and them already told us you live there now."
"Thanks." I say and we sit in silence for awhile. "I'm going to go change and get my stuff." I go upstairs and am almost done changing in Kyo's room when he walks in. I have my back to him and my shirt on but I'm just about to pull on my skirt. I calmly but forcefully say
"Turn around now and I'll finish changing."
"Why should I, it's my room"
"Just turn around."
"Fine" As I continue changing he's trying to get a good look at the cut on my head. I start to turn around and he turns toward the door.
" You can turn around now." He turns and I'm standing there with my hands on my hips. "Why did you just walk in. I said I was going up to change. You should have known I was going to change in here where my stuff was."
"How the hell was I supposed to know your stuff was in here." He says walking closer.
"I don't know maybe you should've known because you guys were the ones who brought me in here."
"Well I didn't see where your stuff was put so sorry."
"Wow Kyo is apologizing, I think I'm going to faint."
"Why don't I help you" he says rushing at me. he goes to punch me in the face and I catch his hand again.
"Didn't I tell you not to try that." I go to pull him toward me to kick him and he kicks me quick in the stomach. I let go of his hand but grab it again and pull him in quick but this time I punch him so he doesn't fly across the room. He gets up quick and goes at me again. I move to the side and as he flies past I hit him in the back so he falls onto his stomach.
"Your learning." I say as he gets up slowly. Suddenly he swings his leg around and hits right in the back of the knees and his leg pulls my legs out from under me. My head hits the wall and my cut opens and starts to bleed again. When I realize it's bleeding again I try to end our fight quick by acting exhausted. I get up slowly and leaning against the wall making sure to cover the wall where I hit, in case any blood got on the wall.
"Okay, Kyo that's enough for now, I'm already exhausted."
"Your faking it, I'm not that stupid. Let's get on with this."
"Fine" I say not caring if he sees the cut anymore because his cockiness is really starting to annoy me. I steady myself then launch myself off the wall a little to the right of Kyo. As he avoids me moving farther to left I turn suddenly and kick him in the back. He falls again on his stomach as I put my foot on his back.
"Are you done yet?"
"Sure" he says and I move my foot and turn around. He gets up quick and moves for me. Before I can turn he puts an arm around my neck and the other around my waist holding my arms down.
"You little cheater" I say trying to wiggle out and kick him at the same time.
"I win, but before I let you go you have to promise to tell me what happened to your head.
"Good conditions, okay I'll tell you." He lets me go and I step away from him and grab my stuff.
"Just not now." I say leaving the room. He hurries out after me yelling
" You have to tell me now."
"You didn't make that an official part of the agreement" I say as I make my way down the stairs.
"You can't do that" He yelled following me into the living room.
"I'm all set, we leaving now."
"Why is Kyo yelling?" Momiji asks.
"No reason" I say with a smirk.
"Your not leaving until you tell me." Kyo says as he moves to the door. I sigh and move toward him.
"What is he talking about?" Yuki asks.
"Nothing" I respond as I make a move to kick Kyo out of the way. Haru comes out of nowhere and grabs my foot as it comes up.
"It's not 'nothing' if Kyo is this worked up about it." He says as he puts my foot down.
"It really is nothing" I insist trying to get around Haru.
"Then why are you so insistent on leaving." Yuki says as he stands up.
"What is with the third degree" I scream out suddenly as I punch Haru in the face and skirt around him and aim another kick at Kyo when someone puts their arm around my neck pulling me back.
"I hate this stupid move" I say as I grab the arm around my neck and make a move to try to flip them over my head. Kyo grabs my hands and pulls them away from what I figure is Haru's arm and holds them.
"Let go already" I yell as I try kicking Kyo. Suddenly Momiji is hugging me and I stop trying to kick Kyo as I look down.
"Why don't you want to tell us?" Momiji says backing up and looking me in the eye. I stop struggling all together and Haru moves his arm. I whirl around grab his arm and give him a big smirk as I kick him in the stomach soft enough so he doesn't go flying.
"That's for hurting my neck." I say with a smile and I turn to Momiji "When are we leaving."
"Why is your hair all bloody?" Haru says from the floor.
"It's not bloody" I say turning my head away from everyone. I feel someone grab my shoulders and hold me steady. I realize that Kyo is still behind me and is holding my shoulders to get a good look at my cut.
I wiggle away from him and move to the doorway behind him brushing my hair over the cut.
"It's not bleeding." I say, then as I touch the cut and wince. I realize that the cut is deeper than I thought it was and is bleading heavily again.
"How bad is it?" Tohru asks Kyo.
"I can't tell her hair was in the way but it is bleeding hard."
"I'll go get some water and bandages." Tohru says standing up. I turn to go out the door and Yuki grabs my arm.
"Why don't you want us to help?" he asks I pull my arm away.
"I can take care of myself, I don't need you guys to help me with anything." I walk out and straight into Shigure. He holds my head between his hands and looks at it as he says
"Calisa, Why won't you except any of our help anymore."
"I don't need your help." I pull my head away.
"This says you do." And he touches my cut and I wince again
"No it doesn't, it's just a scratch."
"It's not just a scratch, scratches aren't deep and they don't bleed heavily"
"I'm back" Tohru says running back into the room.
"You can put that back, I'm leaving." I turn and I fell a hand on each arm.
"Just sit down already." Kyo says
"Let Tohru clean your head and bandage it." Haru says and they both pull me back into the room and sit me by the table keeping their hands on my arms. I sigh as Tohru comes over. When she starts to clean it I wince and go to push her hand away but Kyo holds my hand down. When Tohru finishes cleaning it the boys let go and I stand up.
"Can I leave now?" I ask.
"No!" Everyone says.
"Fine" I say and I sit down again. As Tohru puts an antibiotic on it stings a lot and I cover the cut with my hands.
"That's enough, it's better now, Okay, you don't need to put anything else on it." I say loudly.
"Let her finish please Calisa." Yuki says
"No, it's all better now."
"You sound like a little kid, Sheesh." Kyo says as he grabs my hand again. Then Haru grabs my other hand and I just sit there with a pained look on my face as Tohru finishes putting on the antibiotic and bandages it. When she finishes and starts to clean up I go to pull my hands away but the boys won't let go.
"She's done isn't she, you can let go now."
"Not until you tell us what happened." Haru says
"If you let my arms go, sure."
" We're not falling for that again" Says Kyo
"Fine have it your way, I'm not going to say a thing though."
"Why wouldn't you, we were nice enough to help you when you were sick outside, and Tohru bandaged you now so you owe us." Kyo says
"I don't owe you anything, it was your choice to even bother with me."
"Would you have liked it better if we left you there." Yuki says
"At least if you had left me I wouldn't have gotten my head hurt by.." I stop catching myself before I reveal anything.
"So he did hurt your head." Shigure said
"Who hurt it?" I ask pretending I don't know.
"Don't play innocent Calisa, we know Akito hurt you again and we want to know why." Kyo says
"It's none of your business, all right." I yell and I pull my hands out of the boys grip and kick them both. I rush out of the house and run into the woods. I run to a clearing and sit down to catch my breath holding my head. After a minute Kyo and Haru come crashing through the trees.
"What the hell is your problem you idiot, do you want to get lost again."
"Just stay away from me" I yell running away from them farther into the woods .I feel someone slam into my side and they pin me down. "Get off me!!! "I yell trying to push Kyo off me but he is holding my hands and legs especially. "Why won't you guys just leave me alone."
"Because your holding back on us just tell us already, what happened." Kyo says
"Nothing happened all right."
"So how did you get that cut then?" Haru asks.
" I fell and hit my head on the tree, is that good enough for you."
"Of course not"
"But it will have to do for now." Shigure says walking up. "Hatori is here to bring Haru and Momiji home and to take Calisa to her new house. By the way Kyo what are you doing on Calisa." He says with a smirk
"Nothing" Kyo says getting off me quickly. I get up and hurry off toward the house to grab my stuff. I head to the car and sit beside Momiji. When Haru climbs in we leave. When we got to the house Hatori showed me to my rooms in the huge main building. I had a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and living room. The first thing I did was unpack my clothes. Then I changed and went out to get groceries for lunch. After lunch I unpack my stuff, which takes until at least an hour before supper. I shower changing the bandage and make supper. After supper I clean up and go to bed.
