Katie: (evil grin)
Jess: …
Katie: (eviler grin)
Jess: What the hell is wrong with you?
Katie: I'm going to confuse everybody! (evil laugh)
Kyo: You've already confused everyone. Well… at least Tohru…
Tohru: Huh! Wha? No! I'm not confused! R-really!
Jess: Well it's not like it's hard to confuse her…
Katie: Toh…ru….(glomps!)
Chapter 6Tohru rolled over in her sleep. Her eyes fluttered open to reveal a girl lying next to her. For a moment Tohru didn't think anything of it but then she realized that she didn't usually have someone sleeping next to her. 'That's odd…' she tried not to panic; maybe she new this girl but had just forgotten?
She stared at the girl, trying to find something familiar about her… 'Well… she seems to be a little bit younger…so… maybe she goes to school with Kisa?' But that didn't really help! As much as Tohru tried she couldn't remember ever meeting a girl with short brown hair… not one that she knew personally, anyway.
Tohru grew very still as the girl mumbled something in her sleep. She leaned closer to try and hear.
"Ka…gura… go away." The brown haired girl's brows furrowed. After a bit more mumbling that was along the lines of begging for mercy her face relaxed and a slight smile slowly spread across her face. "…salmon."
Tohru sat up and stared at the girl. What was going on! This girl knew Kagura! And she liked salmon! 'Don't I know someone else like that…?' Tohru stared at the wall and though. Hard.
Suddenly, the girl's eyes snapped open.
Tohru looked down at the girl and gave her a welcoming smile, "Oh! Hello! Good morning, my name is--"
She was interrupted by a startled (and relatively rude) comment from the girl, "What the hell are you doing in my bed!"
Tohru looked alarmed, "Uh, um…Th-this is your bed? I'm so sorry! I just woke up and I was here…" She looked around the girlish room. "Your room is very pretty by the way."
The girl stared at her, "What the hell? My room is not…," the girl glanced a painted butterfly. "Crap. My room is pretty… Wait a second! This isn't my room! What the hell is going on here!"
Tohru got up and went to go inspect a pair of drawers, "I-I have no idea…" She looked up and caught her reflection in the mirror.
She screamed.
The girl got up quickly from the bed, "What hap--"
A voice from downstairs called, "Girls? Is everything all right?"
The girl screamed back at her as Tohru stood their, helplessly staring into the mirror, "Dammit! I am not a girl!"
"Young lady! Get down here this instant!" The voice sounded outraged.
"I'll be right back." The girl muttered. She walked out of the door and looked around. After a moment of getting herself oriented she headed down the stairs.
Tohru just stared into the mirror.
After a few minutes if muffled scolding the girl slumped back up the stairs and back into the girly room, shutting the door behind her. "I just got yelled at by some woman… that I've never met." She sat down on the bed.
Tohru just stared into the mirror.
"What's the matter? You got a zit or somethin'?" The girl laughed at her own joke. "…why does my laugh sound different… damn, I sound like a girl!" The girl looked up as though expecting Tohru to respond. "Hey! What is wrong with you?" She got up and shook Tohru's shoulder.
For the first time in five minutes Tohru spoke, "I look different…"
"Huh?" The girl looked into the mirror as well to see what she was talking about. "You don't look any dif… HOLY HELL! I'm a girl!" The girl stumbled back.
"YOUNG LADY! WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT CURSING? GET DOWN HERE THIS INSTANT!"
The girl went downstairs again. She had a glazed look that matched Tohru's on her face. After another few minutes she came back up. Then she sat in the ground and rocked back and forth. "I'm a girl. I'm a girl. I'm a girl."
Tohru turned to look at her. "I look different," she repeated.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean… I don't look like this," indicating her reflection. "I-I'm not even a blonde."
The girl looked at the reflections in the mirror. "You sure look like a blonde to me…" Her gaze shifted, "And I am definitely not a girl." She flopped down on the bed. "WHY ME?"
"YOUNG LADY!"
The girl winced, "Sorry!"
Tohru walked over and sat next to the girl, "So… you're a guy? What's your name?"
The girl looked at her suspiciously, "Mmm… Kyo."
Tohru got up, shocked. "N-no!"
Kyo sat up, "What's wrong?" He was very confused, did this girl know him?
"Y-you can't be Kyo…," when she got no response from him she pointed to herself. "I-I'm Tohru!"
Kyo got up and joined her, "Tohru? Now way! You can't be!"
Tohru nodded slowly.
"Well then… prove it." He crossed his arms stubbornly.
"Huh? Well… uh… you don't like leeks…"
Kyo raised an eyebrow hesitantly, "Yeah, well… anyone could know that."
Tohru looked desperately at him, what would happen if he didn't believe her? "But… um, I don't know what else to… OH!" Tohru smiled. "I know! You're the cat of the zodiac!"
His eyes widened in disbelief, "Tohru? It is you! So… what are we doing here?"
"I-I don't know…"
They both turned and stared at their reflections in the mirror.
