Fruits baskets do not belong to me.
Chapter 3
Kyo was outside on the door. He heard every thing. He entered when she was mention she wasn't human. Now he was staring at her then her hand and back. They all were. 'How…how…'was all in their mind. Julia on the other hand was getting bored and annoyed. She lost interest a while back. She opened and closed her hand repeatedly for a while. As her body started to recover itself from the cut. She needed to move her hand to put some feeling in it. If hurt her a little, but she was use to pain. Since she was five. She closed her eyes and fist. She hated memories, always the bad ones she remembers. She had problems remembering the happy time. There was silence. She hated that. The room became smaller, and then she won't be able to breathe if the room gets any smaller. 'Great! I'm going to get claustrophobic.'
"It's been almost a week since Julia has been living with us." A happy gasp came from Momiji. They all met in the rood of the school before class.
"Wow! Hatori told us about someone that Akito wanted to take care of."
"Yes. Hatori also mention to us that Akito spoke quiet highly of her." Haru mention. "He told him to take good care of her. He doesn't want anything to happen to her."
"Akito said that?" Yuki asked. Kyo stood there listening.
"Yes. He said the she is having trouble in controlling herself and her temper." Momiji sat with his finger in his chin and looking at the sky. 'I wonder why Akito said those things.'
"So, Julia, how do you like your stay here?" Shigure and Julia sat in the living room drinking tea. Mr. Johnson didn't want her to go to school until she got accustom to things.
"Mm…everything is fine. It might take me a while to get use to things." She said calmly. Shigure didn't quiet understand her. She stayed quiet and talked with no emotions. She also kept her space. He smiled.
"Well, I'm glad. Hatori said he would come by and check on you. I hope you've been taking your medicines. Julia stayed quiet until she placed her cup on the table.
"Yes. Yes I have."
"Um…I don't mean to intrude but why do you need that medication for any ways?" There was silence while Shigure waited patiently for an answer.
"The main reason is that it keeps me in control. Mr. Johnson's brother prescribed to me, so I won't get out of hand and start to transform. He also gave this necklace for my siblings and me to wear." She took out the gold chain around her neck; at the bottom was a gold circle with a red gem in the middle. "This is what keeps my powers. I am no allowed to use all of them." Shigure seat drop.
"And how do I know
you're not lying about all this?" Julia stared at him for a
moment. "It would go against the code and I would be severely
punished if I do."
Julia continued to drink as Shigure stayed
there looking at her. He was about to speak when Julia interrupted.
"I should go and get more tea. Hatori well be here soon." She got up and walked into the kitchen. After a couple of moments the front door opened. "Why hello Hatori."
"Shigure." They both went to have a sit when Julia came with a cup of tea in her hands. "Hello Julia." She nodded. They all sat and drank tea in silence for a while until Julia decided to break it. "How's Akito doing?"
"He's fine, he wanted to check on you personally but he had a fever again."
"If you don't mind, send him my regards to him for me please?"
"Of course." Shigure watched as the conversation ended. 'So she met Akito already.' "Julia?" Shigure snapped out of his thoughts. "Do you mind and leaving us to talk in private?"
"Of course not. Shigure. I hope is it alright for me to run some errands I have to take care of."
"Of course not. Just be careful." Shigure smiled. Hatori looked up to her. "Remember to call every three hours. Akito's orders."
"Of course." She excused herself. After she cleaned up, she went to put her shoes on and walked out.
The day turned to night fall. And Julia hadn't returned. Yuki, Kyo, and Tohru returned some time a go. Hatori called every once in a while for any news. "I sorry Hatori, but she hasn't called yet."
"It's been over eight hours. Akito is getting worried."
"Yes. Yes. I know." There was a knock at the door. "Hatori, I have to call you back someone at the door." Shigure saw Tohru ran up to him. "Shigure it's the police."
"The police?" Shigure walked with Tohru to the front door. Kyo and Yuki were already there. "Yes? Is something the matter?" The police man looked at him. "Are you Shigure Sohma, the current guardian of Julia Johnson?" Everyone had a worried look. 'Oh no! What if something happen to her?" Went though Tohru's mind. "Yes um….has there been an accident?" The police men looked sad and answered. "Yes. There was an accident involving Julia."
