Chapter three: Black Haru
Tohru was happy. No, scratch that. She was ecstatic. This was what she had been waiting for. A chance to fight Haru. But not just any old Haru. Black Haru. They circled each other for a few minutes, then, Haru made the first move. He leapt at her, his eyes showing pure fury, the bruises on this face and arms suddenly glowing a brighter red. He was out of control, his kicks and punches coming at an incredible pace. Tohru smiled, and began what she had been practicing for since 2 years ago; a REAL fight.
Half an hour later, they were still going, but now at a slower pace. They were both visibly tiring, but both dismissed they're tiredness. They were both thinking thoughts along the lines of " No way am I loosing to a guy like him/her!"
Then, suddenly, Tohru saw her chance. She jumped backwards, and then, when Haru moved forward, thinking this would be the perfect time to punch her, and get her off balance, she delivered a rock hard kick in his untouchable territory. The effect was immediate. He groaned loudly, well, actually, more like yelled out in pain, and started rolling on the ground, clutching his knees to his chest, groaning uncontrollably.
Tohru stood up, shook the dust and excess grass off her clothes, and re-tied her hair up into a high ponytail. She walked over to where the rest of the Sohmas had retreated to avoid unnecessary danger, paused, felt her head, and fainted when she saw just how much blood was coming out of her forehead.
When she woke up later, she took a few minutes to get used to her surroundings. She sat up quickly, and gasped from the sudden pressure and dizziness she felt coming from her head. This could not be good. She tried to remember what had happened, and slowly, a grin spread across her face when she remembered how fun her fight had been. She slowly got out of bed and stood up, leaning against a bookcase for balance. She staggered through the hallway and shoved her way through the door into the kitchen, where she was greeted with the sight of Kyo, Yuki, Shigure, Hatori and Haru, who was leaning up against a wall. She could see bandages on his arms, and some large band aids strategically placed around his face to cover almost all of the numerous bruises that decorated his usually flawless features. They all looked up when she entered, and stared.
"Uhh… Hatori … didn't you say she shouldn't be able to get up for at least a few more hours? Yuki said, with a small frown on his face.
"Yes. And even if she is awake, that's no reason to be walking around. She should be sitting, at the very least. We need her too get all her strength and… youthful energy… back before tomorrow…" Shigure said, hesitating a little near the end.
"Why…. What about tomorrow… you didn't do anything… stupid… did you?" Yuki said, slowly getting more and more worried. He could think of a few horrible things that would require a lot of will power just to get through alive, or even worse, sane… but…
Oh no… Why do get the feeling I know what's coming next… He's gonna say he invited… (Shudder)
But Yuki's thoughts were interrupted by a loud beep from the answering machine, as it began to take a message.
"Gure-kun! All right! I'm all ready and psyched about tomorrow! Oohhh! Invite Tori-kun too! The Mabudachi trio, all together again! Last time we all saw each other all together was, what, a week!"
Oh dear god please say he didn't… I'd know that voice anywhere, sadly. He's invited Ayaame over…
"Ah, yes, well I was going to tell you… but… it would seem I don't have to anymore… please don't kill me! Besides, it won't be too bad! I invited everyone else too!"
Shigure didn't know just how much Yuki wanted to. But just then, (much to Shigure's luck) they heard a loud groan from upstairs, a pop, and then…
"MOO…"
"Oh dear… Haru must have transformed… I'll… go check on him… after all, it's my fault he's like that anyway…" Tohru mumbled, almost incoherently.
"Ah yes, you do that. Oh, and see if he's hungry… we've got some nice grass in the back lawn…"
And with that said, Tohru slowly made her way up the stairs, careful not to jog her head, to go check up on Haru.
Damn, I haven't had a fight that long since I was training. Maybe I should go to Shishou's Dojo for a while… just to keep from getting rusty… I can just hear Kajewake's voice now… (Her old trainer) "Don't you go getting rusty on me girl! You've got talent, and that's that. If you get out of shape, I'll walk to Tokyo if I have to, and kick you're ass!" She chuckled… Yes, and she was ready to bet all she had that he actually WOULD come over from the states just to give her a piece of his mind, if it meant another chance to beat her up. Sigh… when she thought about it, she really should go to the Dojo… Its not like I've got anything to loose by keeping in practice… maybe I'll even see Kagura! That is, if she's still chasing after Kyo… I doubt she would go if it weren't for him…
She reached the landing, and shuffled toward the room where Haru was staying. She shoved the door open, walked over to the giant Cow that was standing in the middle of the room, Hugged it, and began telling it about that lovely clover patch just outside…
Yes, yes, I'm sorry… I know I took a looonnngg time to update, and I'm REALLY sorry. I just got a new math teacher, (who, might I add, smells like a dead cow, and looks like one too!) who, it would seem, has made all my other teachers into zombies. They now hand out HUUGGEEE piles of homework everyday without one thought to my outside-of-school life. So anyhoo, enough about me. I'd like to thank ALL of my WONDERFUL reviewers, and give you a BIIIGGG HUUGGG! (Oh, and if ur wondering, I'm sooo sugar high!)
HoobyGloob- yes, I love Black Haru too! And he's sooo hot whenever he flips out. And guess what? HE DID LOOSE! Lol! Thx for reviewing!
Leaviel- Well, I would keep her with her old attitude, but It REALLY annoyed me sometimes. So ya, I guess I will add some of her old self every once in a while, but mostly just her usual, new self. And you'll have 2 wait 2 find out the pairings… Tohru x? Lol. I feel so powerful! Thx 4 reviewing!
Silver child of the winds- I kno, isn't it? While I was reading the series for the first time, I kept thinking, "she needs to stand up for herself more!"
Bobalu- Black Haru! He's so hot! Sorry… I'm sugar high! Thx SOOO much for reviewing!
Sesshomaur'sLuver- ya, I know, I was having some SERIUS writers block when I wrote that chapter. I'll most likely just go through and edit it in a while, whenever I have some spare time.
Amon Lover- Thx! I feel so special! When you all review, it warms the Ice that surrounds my heart forever more! (starts bouncing off the walls! SUGAR HIGH! (just so u kno, I'm not in control of what I write here. I had waaaayyy too much sugar today!))
