Shigure raised an eyebrown as both both just stood there, watching her.
"Found a cure for what Tohru?" Shigure asked as she continued to jump on the bed, still holding her book.
"The cure for the Shoma family curse! I found it I found it!" she yelled jubilantly.
Shigure and the boys looked at her with concern, "I'm going to call Hatsori-san" Shagure whispered to the boys, thinking that Tohru was off her rocker and went downstairs. While he did this, the boys watched Tohru, exclaiming that she had found the cure when finally, Kyo snapped, "SHUT-UP! SHUT-UP! THERE'S NO CURE! WE'LL BE BURDANDED WITH THIS GODDAMNED CURSE FOR THE REST OF OUR GODFORSAKEN LIVES!" He yelled and ran out.
BANG! Just like that Tohru fell while jumping--shocked that Kyo would make such a remark, the book that she was holding; flew, flew, flew, and then, KA-PLUNK, it landed right on top of her head, "Ow." her little voice came from the other side of the bed, where she managed to fall off. Yuki then went over and helped her up and forced her to lie down, "You alright?" he asked as soon as she was lieing down. "Yeah." Tohru replied, rubbing the bump on her head, "Isn't this exciting Yuki-kun? You'll finally have a chance to be free!" she said and Yuki smiled and knodded, "Sure. That would be great."
About twenty minutes later Hatsori showed up.
"So, what seems to be the problem, Shigure?" he asked as Shigure led him inside and upstairs to where Tohru was, "She's, well--gone mental. She claims she found the cure, and that's insane." He explained as Hatsori went in and looked at Tohru. Some time later Hatsori, Shigure, and Yuki sat around the table, (Kyo was still on the roof) talking over what they could do about this new development.
"Well," Hatsori started, "she seems quite well physically besides the bump on her head and emotional trama takes a long time to develope. I mean, sure, she has expearanced a lot of strange things while here, but normally she would show signs of a graduall mentail decay."
"What are we suppost to do then?" Shigure asked while drinking some tea.
"Well, for now, let her rest. That's the best I can offer." he said while looking at Yuki's concerned face and knowing, almost out of instint what to say next, "I'll have to tell Akito, so that he's away of the girl's mental state."
"NO! YOU CAN'T DO THAT, HE'LL WANT TO ERASE HER MEMORY! WHAT IF SHE REALLY HAS THE CURE!" Yuki yelled as he stood up, looking from Shigure to Hatsori, "You just can't Hatsori-san. Please."
"Well, I suppose I could forget to mention it, but, you know Akito. He has his ways of finding out everything."
"Don't worry, we'll keep her home for awhile, I'm sure that will help her more then anything." Shigure said, hoping that would be easily done as it was said.
"Good." Hatori replied and got up, "For now, I won't mention it." and with that, he left.
"That's a relief." Said the dog.
Later that day everyone went up to see how Tohru was doing.
"Hello, Miss Honda, how are you feeling?" Yuki asked, he being the first one in
"Umm, quite well, thank you. May I get up now?" she asked of everyone or for that matter, anyone.
"No, you have to stay in bed, it's for you're health, Tohru." Shigure said as he fluffed her pillow.
"But, I feel fine. Really. And today, today's Friday. The opening act for Cinderella, I can't miss that. I have to be the best evil step sister ever!" she said, looking a bit flustered
"That's right, today is the opening act." Yuki said, more to himself then to anyone, "I should be going, Kyo too." he said and Shigure looked like he was going to slap Yuki for bringing it up even though it was Tohru that had mentioned it.
"Please?" asked Tohru, "Pretty please? I'll go there, act and come right home and go to bed, I promise. Pleeeeeeeeeeeease?" she asked giving Shigure big, pouty, puppy dog eyes.
"Oh, alright. But as soon as the play is done all three of you strait home." Shigure said and walked out.
Tohru seemed quite delighted with this and ameatidly started getting herself ready to leave, as she was in her pajamas.
Soon the three of them were off. Tohru looked over at Kyo, "Kyo. I'm sure you'll make a great prince charming." she said to the silent, very moody cat.
"Hmmph." was his reply, for he did not, by any means, want to be the charming prince.
They got to the school and everyone was there getting ready. Tohru bounced over to her friends, "Hey, Hama-san, you look great, I think you'll be a lovely Cinderella." she said as she went and got her costum for the part of the evil step-sister. And before any of them relized what was going on, the play had started. They were all great, even though there personalities really didn't match there characters; and then after some time, the play was over and, after dragging Kyo away from those who thought he was a great prince charming, the three of them left to return Tohru to her bedroom.
Later that night, before Yuki and Kyo were off to bed themselves Tohru came down, "Guys?" she said in her timid voice and they all looked at her, concered, "I'm going to see Akito. I have to. You can't stop me, this is my decision. I'll be going tomarow. So, if something happens. If for some reason I don't return the way I was before. Don't worry." she said and returned back upstairs.
"We can't let her go." Yuki said turning to Shigure, "We just can't. Akito will torcure her, expesailly if she does have it, the cure."
"That he may, but you heard her just as well as I did. This is her decision." Shigure replied, looking very sad. With that Yuki went to bed and cryed while Kyo stormed to the roof, not knowing how to deel with all the emotions that he was deeling with. They couldn't let her go, but yet, it was her decision to make.
