Tohru the Vampire Slayer ch 4. Of Angels and Demons part1.

Yes this chapter will be a two part-er. I hope to get the second part up soon. Sorry it was so long since I have updated this story. And I still do not own Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Fruits Basket. Or Angel for that matter. (Smiles as I consider what I would so if I did)

"I'm home!" Tohru called out as she took off her shoes and entered the house. She was still thinking about what Hatori said about her unusual strength. She knew it wasn't because of the blood of the creature. The strength flooded her system before she even scratched it. She was convinced that her mother had sent her this strength so she could survive the meeting with the creature. But...why did she still have it. She had realized that she seemed to look at everything from a different perspective from before she fought the creature. When she walked into the house, she immediately scanned the room for any signs of trouble. She had noticed today when she went into the nurses office she looked for different ways in and out of the room.

She also noticed things more. Like the running of someone from upstairs down to the living room. Tohru was instantly on the alert and looking behind him to see if there was something chasing him. But he was alone. Maybe Hatori is right and I am suffering from post traumatic stress. She thought as she slowly relaxed again.

"Miss Honda, I was so worried when you weren't home when we got here."

"Oh, I'm so sorry I didn't mean to worry you Yuki. Hatori San had me come into his office for some tests. I am really fine. But I need to get moving so I can get dinner made and my homework caught up on before I go to work tonight."

"No." Yuki stated

Tohru blinked in surprise. She could sense Kyo and Shigure as they too came down the stairs.

"You need to go get some rest. We have everything figured out for tonight we were going to order out for dinner. You need to go lay down and get some rest. I will help you get caught up on your homework this weekend."

"Tohru," Shigure stated in his unusually serious voice. "Why did you hide your condition from us? Hatori said you were supposed to stay in bed and take things easy." Suddenly his voice became whimpering. "When he found out, I let you cook breakfast and go to school he threatened me with painful shots at my next checkup! He was scary."

"Oh, I am so sorry Shigure San but really I was much better this morning. I'm fine really. No need to order out for dinner or anything."

"We have already placed the order for dinner and called Momiji to have him let them know you wouldn't be coming into work this weekend."

"Hunh?" She asked. "But...I can't stay home from work. I am fine. It would be wrong!"

"Tohru, please don't make me worry about you by going to work tonight." Shigure tried the surefire way of getting Tohru to do what you wanted her to. Guilt trip. She is always so much more worried about everyone else but herself. "If you must go into work, I won't stop you; but I know I won't be able to write a single word of my next novel because I will be so worried about you. I hate to admit it but with the main house no longer paying for repairs to my house, when Kyo breaks it, we really need the money my books bring in. If I fall behind on my deadline then they may end up not publishing it at all. Then without the extra money we could end up destitute and starving on the streets. But I really won't stop you, Tohru, if that is what you want to do."

Yuki blinked away the image of Shigure sitting on the street with his hands in the classic doggie begging fashion complete with puppy eyes. The image was so funny in his mind all he could do was stand there trying to hide his snickering laugh.

"Oi! Don't manipulate her like that!" Kyo hissed hitting Shigure in the back of the head. "Hey, runt I know you must be feeling a lot better but your fevers seem to come and go a lot why don't you just take it easy this weekend and make sure you are completely better before you go off to be Super Girl again?"

Tohru was acting incredibly un-Tohru like. She just stood there for a moment with a far off expression on her face. Usually by the time Shigure had said please don't make me worry about you she would have been panicking and trying to get them to not worry about her. She did seem somehow nervous.

"Super Girl?" She asked.

Kyo blushed a bright red. "It's not like that! It's just...you are always working all of the time. You sometimes work yourself to the point of exhaustion cooking, cleaning, school and home work not to mention your job at the Sohma building. Everybody needs some down time so why don't you take some already? Grr, Just go take it easy tonight alright?"

Tohru blushed at all of the attention. "Ok, Thank-you. I am sorry I worried all of you. I really am fine though." She stated as she walked up the stairs and into her room.

Shigure watched her go a calculating light in his eyes. "Hmm, I wonder why she didn't go on one of her panic attacks like she usually does? I must be losing my touch."

Yuki narrowed his eyes at Shigure. "You wanted her to panic and freak out?" It was more an accusation then a question but Shigure decided to answer anyway.

"Well it's just. She is always so cute when she does. I am just wondering what caused this change in our sweet young Tohru? I could almost swear that she was seeing through my masterful art of manipulation."

Yuki and Kyo both snorted at Shigure's use of the word "masterful"

Tohru tried to get some rest but she was full of energy she really felt she needed to burn and as the evening progressed it became stronger. She had fallen asleep twice but had woken up from the strangest dreams with vampires and monsters in one. She was fighting them in a white dress and a horrid looking bald vampire had started drowning her. In the other dream Akito had stood in front of two caves at her feet was the corpse of the demon Tohru had killed. Akito then had smirked at Tohru. "One down...Lets see how you fair against the rest." And instantly the most horrifying creatures started charging through the cave they were coming to attack and kill her. She knew she wouldn't survive without help and had woke up screaming for her mother.

That dream had really freaked her out. They seemed so real. And after that she really didn't want to go back to sleep. She paced in her room. The house was still and everyone had gone to sleep except for Shigure who was working in his office downstairs.

The house seemed somehow stifling and she felt the need to get out of it and maybe go for a run in the woods. Getting dressed, she debated whether to or not to tell Shigure that she was going out. He was acting so worried about me before he would not want to let me go. And if he did he would only worry. Her mind made up and dressed she quickly fluffed a pillow up under her covers so if anybody peeked in they would think she was asleep. She left a note by the pillow just in case and snuck out of the house as quietly as she could.

Once outside the thought occurred to her that in the past she would have fallen on the stairs or made a lot of noise because she was trying so hard to be quiet. But this time she moved with a panther like grace and stillness.

Tohru ran through the forest and was amazed at how quickly and effortlessly she was able to run. Without even realizing it she found herself at the graveyard where her mother was buried. Taking a deep breath she walked to her mothers grave and cleaned the gravestones. Kneeling before it she honored the memory of her parents.

"Mom, Thank-you so much for sending me your Yankee fighting spirit. Something weird is going on though. I'm having strange dreams. Hatori San says my strength is off of the charts and I am healing quickly too. I am seeing things from a new perspective and...I find myself feeling so different. It's like I have aged so much in just a few moments. I look at who I was before and I think about how naive and childish I used to be. I find myself wishing I still were. I understand a lot more now and I wish I didn't. I feel like I have lost who I am. I can never get back the innocence I have lost and mom I am afraid of what I am turning into. I killed that thing. It was trapped in a cave and I went into its home and killed it. Oh, Mom what have I become?"

"Dinner." A harsh voice stated from only a few feet away from her. The voice was followed by laughter. Instantly Tohru jumped to her feet to see a small group of guys. She guessed that they were in highschool or just out of highschool. Yet...there was something about them. She could sense something strange about them.

"Um, Hi." Tohru stated nervously as she quickly bowed to the group of men. "Sorry if I disturbed you from your...visiting of...some graves...at night." It seemed really odd to her but then what was she doing?

"Na, little girl...we weren't here visiting graves. We came to get the newest member of our little group. He should be waking up any time now and he will be hungry."

Tohru started edging away from the group making sure to not turn her back on them. She desperately wanted to run. Something was telling her that she needed to fight or run. "Well there is a really good all night dumpling shop just down the street." Tohru stated to try and be helpful. "Sorry, but I really need to run."

"Nah, little one. You're not going anywhere." They stated as they came forward as one.

With a startled "eep!" Tohru turned to run. But instantly the men were on her like a pack of hounds.

"Please let me go!" Tohru cried out in horror as they grabbed her arms and held her with surprising strength. One of the men stepped forward and he laughed as his face distorted into a horrifying vision of one of the creatures from Tohru's nightmares complete with fangs.

"AHHH!" Tohru screamed as she kicked the vampire in front of her without even realizing it. The vampire swore and hit her across her face. Instantly the world was spinning and she could feel him grab her chin. He forcibly turned her head to give him access to her neck.

"NO!" Tohru cried in horror. "Mom, please help me!" Closing her eyes Tohru waited for the end. At least Kyo won't be locked up now. She thought to herself. I was able to help with at least that. I wish I could have helped all of the Sohmas.

A.N. Ok So I decided that (someday) When I finish this story that there will be a sequel and it will cross over with yet another T.V. Show. I will drop hints throughout but won't be letting the cat out of the bag until the sequel. If anybody wants to take a guess feel free. But, I probably won't tell you if you get it right until I start posting the sequel and of course that won't happen until I finish writing this.

Well no matter what please review and let me know what you think. Thank-you everybody who is reviewing and if you sign your review or leave me your e-mail I try to get back with everybody when they do. So please review k?
