Chapter 3

"School Festival"

Two months later-

As Tohru went to get the mail, she noticed a little letter addressed to her.

"I wonder how Sakura-chan is doing right now." Tohru said on her head as she headed towards the door.

When she went inside, Tohru went to the living room and sat down on her knees. She stared at the envelope which had no name on it. When she opened it, there was a letter the shape of a cat. Inside she read:

Dear Tohru-chan,

Hey Tohru-chan! How are you? I hope that you are ok! I'm sorry if I haven't seen you and everyone else for a while. I've been very busy with school work and other things. Well there is this school festival being held at the school I go to. I was wondering if your friends and you would like to come. It starts on 10.16.2005 at 5:00 pm. oh and I'll be in a lot of things. The first one I'm doing is a class haunted house, and then I have my art club contest I have to attend. After, my friends and I are in the Battle of the bands thing. Last but not least I'm in a tournament.

So please come, Tohru-chan!!! I hope you can make it! Oh! And everyone is allowed to wear costumes! Thank goodness! Talk to you later!

-Sakura-chan

There was a knock on the door and it startled Tohru that she let out a scream. In walked Kyo, Shigure, and Yuki who went on a trip to the mountains for the weekend. Tohru was in charge of the house so she was pretty busy herself.

"Um…Welcome home Kyo-kun, Yuki-kun, and Shigure-san! How was your trip to the mountains?" Tohru asked them when they appeared at the living room entrance.

"It was okay…I guess…" Kyo said in an angry tone but it was calm. His orange hair was a mess after that hard breeze outside. Yuki's hair was always in shape so there was nothing to worry about.

"Our trip was okay. Thank you for asking, Honda-san." He said smiling at her. His purple eyes told her that everything was okay and they seemed gentle.

"Oh! What's this, Tohru-chan? Is it a love letter?" Shigure asked her in a happy childish voice as he noticed the little cat-shaped letter from Sakura.

"Oh no! It's not! It's a letter from Sakura-chan! She wanted to know if it was alright if everyone would like to come to her school's festival. And I was going to ask you if you would all like to come." She said in a calm voice. Her brown hair was in a ponytail and she wore a baby blue sweater with a long blue skirt.

"Oh! I would love to see this Sakura-chan friend of yours. Do you think that the rest of the Sohmas and Uo-chan and Hana-chan would like to come?" Shigure asked Tohru in an uncertain tone.

"I'm sure they would love to come! But the thing is what happens if someone bumps into one of the Sohmas and they transform?" she said sadly. Her hopes were almost down but then Kyo stepped up.

"I'll go if you go Tohru. I'm sure that everyone else would be happy to come. Especially that damn rabbit, Momiji." He said in a calm voice. He was trying to cheer her up.

"I would like to come too, Honda-san." Yuki replied to her as well.

"Then it's settled! Just let me go get everyone else! But unfortunately I won't be able to come. I wish you all young ones fun." Shigure said in a happy voice. Shigure went off to where the phone was at in the hallway and started dialing the others.

Tohru looked at the letter. The date was on 10.16.2005. "It's on 10.16.2006 at 5:00 pm. What day is it today?" she asked to everyone. They stared at her like she was an alien that came from space.

"Uh…today's10.16, Tohru." Kyo replied to her in a shocked face but was blushing a bit. Her face was then turned from a questionable face to a shocked face.

Sakura's school at 5:00 pm-

"Tohru-chan! Everyone!!! You all made it!" a child-like voice yelled out happily. They all turned around to see Sakura-chan in a black and red gothic dress, combat boots, black gloves, her hair had a skull on it, and there were cat ears on her head and tail coming out of her dress.

"Wow!!! Sakura-chan! You look like you're gonna scare everyone!" Uo-chan said with a smile. Tohru was on the floor like she was going to pass out.

"Tohru-chan! Are you alright?" Sakura-chan asked in a worried tone. Her orange eyes gazed at Tohru's brown eyes with a shine in it.

"I'm okay. Thank you for your concern, Sakura-chan." Tohru told the gothic cat-girl. Only Tohru, Uo-chan, Hana-chan, Yuki, Kyo, Momiji, Kisa, Hiro, and Hatsuharu came.

Tohru wore a Chinese dress with her hair in two high buns and little braids of hair sticking out. Uo-chan wore the Red butterfly's jacket and her blond hair down. Hana-chan wore a black gothic dress and her hair down in waves.

Momiji was wearing a bunny costume. Kyo was wearing his red jacket, dark brown jeans, and converses. Yuki was wearing a Chinese warrior costume. Hatsuharu wore his school uniform. Kisa was wearing an orange dress and tiger ears with a little tiger tail. Hiro was wearing a tee shirt, jeans, and a pair of sneakers.

"You all look great! Were would like for me to take you all to?" Sakura-chan asked them with a smile. The breeze made her look scarier.

"Well…How about that haunted house you wrote in your letter?" Momiji-kun said cheerfully.

"Yeah! I wanna be scaried. Give me your best shot, Sakura-chan!" Uo-chan said in a happy tone. Everyone agreed to go to the haunted house.

Sakura's class- Class 4-C's Haunted House-

"Well it looks like we are going to have to wait." Yuki said sadly. "Are you sure you can handle this, Tohru-chan?" There was a large line to the haunted house but that was no problem.

Tohru was shaking all over. "Of-Of course I-I-I ca-ca-can. I-I-I ca-ca-can han-handle som-somethin-thing li-li-like th-thi-this." She replied in a shaky voice. You can tell she was scaried to death.

"Don't worry Tohru! I'll be sure to let everyone hold hands! But I must warn you that this is not like any other haunted house you've been to before!" Sakura said to Tohru as she took her hand. Tohru calmed down a bit but was still frightened.

Sakura took everyone to the front of the classroom and gave them each a family v.i.p. which allowed them to enter. "Don't lose these. These are your tickets to do whatever you want to do without any charge!" she said smiling to each one.

"Aren't these family v.i.p.s? Hatsuharu asked in a blank face. His expression made it look so cute.

"Yeah but I have no family so I just asked for them and decided to give them to you guys…By the way, once we enter in the haunted house, there will probably be no way out since it's so dark." Sakura answered to Hatsuharu's question. Sakura cleared her throat and then said in her scariest voice, "Ladies and gentlemen, I will take you to a place where there is no escape. A place full of fear and you may even experience some paranormal effects. Please hold hands and I wish you all the best of luck."

They all entered into the classroom which had no light but only sound. "Hey! Who turned off all the lights?!" Momiji yelled out. "It's too dark in here!" Kisa said in frightened voice. Hiro held onto Kisa's hand and the both of them blushed.

"Please don't be frightened at all! There is nothing to worr-AHHHHHH!!!!!!SOMEONE SAVE ME!!!!!!" Sakura yelled out in shriek of terror. She let go of Momiji's hand as she disappeared into the darkness.

"SAKURA-CHAN! WHERE ARE YOU?!" Uo-chan yelled out. "SAKURA-CHAN! WHERE ARE YO-? WWWWAAAAHHHH!!!" Momiji yelled out as he hit something. There in front of him was a little light that glowed. The thing that Momiji collapsed with was none other than Sakura-chan's body. Her eyes were in fear and there blood all over her body. She was floating by a rope that tightened around her wrists.

They all screamed but not Hana-chan. Then there was a patting sound. The sound grew louder and louder within each passing second. When they all turned around, there were hand prints all over the window and out came hands with blood all over them.

"AAAAHHHH!!!!!" screamed Tohru, Kisa, Hiro, Momiji, Uo-chan, Yuki, and Kyo. They all ran like mad people. Hatsuharu and Hana-chan didn't get scared at all.

For at least one hour they were all trapped inside the haunted house. Momiji noticed a small little light that was far away.

"Look! Over there! Run to that light over there!" Momiji yelled out. They all ran like there was no tomorrow. When they reached for the light, there in front of the light was a person standing right in front of them. The person was Sakura-chan who was standing there smiling at them.

"WHA-WHAT?! HOW DID YOU GET OVER HERE ALIVE?!" they all yelled out. They were all worned out except for Hana-chan. Hana-chan walked up to Sakura-chan and said in her gothic voice. "Thank you for this lovely experience. Throughout the whole time, I felt two different types of waves coming form you." Hana-chan said softly to my ear.

"You will find out soon enough. For now I want to tell you that I'm not your average teenage girl. If I were you, I wouldn't use my powers against me. For it will back fire at you and cause a pain." Sakura-chan warned her with her eyes turning to a golden color.

"I have to go for right now but I'll be right back! So don't worry!" Sakura told everyone. They all waited for her to go change clothes.

Class 4-C's Changing Room-

"Hana-chan is going to figure out that I'm not alive. I can't let that happen. Not just yet though. Your kid is figuring it out too. I'm sure she feels you when I'm around her. Do you think I should tell them the truth? That I'm neither alive nor dead. But instead…I'm a shinigami?" Sakura-chan asked to herself. She was putting on her black school shoes, her red plaid skirt, and white blouse with a red tie which had a gothic cross on it.(the gothic cross symbol was the school's logo…no seriously)

"I think that you should wait until the time is right, Sa-chan. I mean what would they say if you tell them that you're me or should I say Tohru's mom. That you and me are both in one? They will think that you are crazy! Shessh! You gotta think this through!" another voice said. Sakura-chan looked at the little bottle that was in her pocket which held something inside that was faintly glowing inside it.

"You're right, Kyoko-san. I should wait until the time is right. Thanks." Sakura replied back to Kyoko's voice.

Sakura's school at 6 pm- The Art Contest-

Tohru and the others walked around for a while looking through the art works painted by the students in the Art Club. Momiji, Kisa, and Hiro went to the opposite wall of where Tohru, Yuki, Kyo, and Hatsuharu were at. Uo-chan and Hana-chan were at the front waiting for Sakura.

"Hey look at this one!" Kisa said out loud. The group of four walked to where Kisa was pointing to. She was pointing at a painting which had a group of people looking at the stars. The people that where in the painting was a group of 5 girls and 5 boys.

"Wow! How did this painting?" Tohru asked Kisa. Kisa looked at the painting's title and read: "'My New Friends' by: Sakura Tsuki."

"She seems to have a really good talent in art." Yuki stated on Sakura's painting. Hatsuharu looked at the bottom of the painting and read aloud.

"This painting is for my new friends named Tohru Honda, Yuki Sohma, Kyo Sohma, Hatsuharu Sohma, Momiji Sohma, Kisa Sohma, Arisa Uotani, Saki Hanajima and Hiro Sohma."

"So this is everyone?!" Yuki asked everyone. There was a running sound that came from the front of the place. In came running Uo-chan, Hana-chan, and three other girls. "Excuse me but did you happen to see a girl named Sakura Tsuki? We are looking for her." The girl with the black hair and green highlights in her hair asked. Her green eyes looked serious form the way they looked.

"We were with her thirty minutes ago. Why? Who are you and what business do you have with her?" Yuki asked seriously at the girls.

"We are her friends. We need to find her because she was supposed to be rehearsing with us a while ago. She never showed up. We are in the Battle of the Bands contest and if she doesn't show up, we are done for." The girl with the long red hair said.

"I think I know where she may be at!" shouted the girl with the blue eyes and dark brown hair. They ran out of the art museum.

"We should follow them." Kyo suggested. "Hey look! Orangey finally came up with a smart plan!" joked Uo-chan. They were going to start fighting each other but Hana-chan broke it up. They went too search for their missing new friend.

OH NO! Sakura-chan has gone missing! Will Tohru and her friends find her? Tune in next time in the series! And now…I have to return back to my work…crud… (Looks at pile of Spanish work) I'll never finish in time to do the next chapter…ugh…
