Sum-up Recap
Ayame appears and calls the rest of the family in. Tohru realizes that Kisa and Hiro are no longer safe and she runs off in a blind panic.
The group quickly split up into teams to find Tohru. The groups were: Kyo, Yuki, and Kagura; Hitori, Ayame, and Shigure; Momiji, Hatsuharu, Honey, and Mori; Tamaki, Haruhi, and Kyoya; the twins.
The groups searched for what seemed like hours until Mori's group got to the park.
They split up and just as they were about to leave Mori spotted and arm behind a bush.
Fear overtook his body as he ran faster than he had in his entire life. Due to the mud though he slid and almost passed her.
Regaining his balance he knelt at her side and picked her up.
His eyes widened, she was like ice. He heard Hatsuharu call Hitori to pick them up. As he scanned her face he saw fear contorted into every crease in her face. Just to be sure he placed his ear on her chest.
To his relief it was still beating, but it was faint and weak.
Much faster than he had anticipated a black car sped around the corner and they all hopped in.
Tohru rested in his lap as he willed all of his body heat to transfer to her.
Everyone in the car was on their cell phones communicating with the others and by the sound of it they were headed to one of the hosts houses.
They pulled up to the kings estate and were stopped at the gate.
"Who are you and state your business." The guard said. But before anyone could answer a limo pulled up and Tamaki's head popped out the window. (I know this is an intense moment but typing that almost made me pee! XD) "Open the gates this moment this is a matter of life and death!" He screeched.
As soon as the doors were open Hitori hit the gas and sped up the annoyingly long drive.
They rushed the girl inside and went straight to the families medical room. (Being rich has it's perks(; ) Hitori took the girl from Mori's body and slammed the door in everyone's face.
The silence was unnerving but Shigure decided to interject words of comfort. "Don't worry if she's with Hitori then she's in great hands.
This relieved the Sohma's but the club was still uneasy. "Don't worry Hitori Sohma is one of Japan's finest doctors but he isn't well know due to him only treating his family." Kyoya recited.
At this the club relaxed as well.
They were all gathered in one of the living rooms next to the fire. You could cut the tense atmosphere with a knife if you wanted.
Not being able to hold back any longer Haruhi shot up, "Look I don't know who you people think you are but Tohru has never once in her life been this unstable and afraid." Haruhi snapped.
Kyo lost his temper, "and who're you to say this about her!?"
"Who do you think she was with before she came along and met you!?" Haruhi spat.
Kyo quieted down in a huff.
"Listen ever since she came back she's had dreams of someone, I'm guessing this 'Akito' person killing her. And she has scars from that person too, so I don't feel like I trust any of you." She said calming down a bit.
"He gave her scars!?" Shigure inquired. All the Sohma's thought back to anything that might've shown what was happening.
"Aren't you going to go swimming Ms. Honda?" Yuki politely asked. "Oh no I'm sorry I just don't feel up to it at the moment." She said as she pulled her shawl further up her arms. Yuki and Kyo looked at each other and shrugged.
"Tohru look at you you're burning up! Why don't you take that jacket off?" Shigure asked as she set down the tea for him, Ayame and Hitori. "Oh I'm fine. Thank you for worrying about me though."
"Tohru come on it'll be fun!" Momiji exclaimed grabbing her arm. She winced and he immediately let go. "Is something wrong with your arm Tohru? We should go see Hitori!" She stopped him, "it's alright I'm completely fine you just surprised me a little that's all. Hatsuharu looked at her closely and she smiled brightly at him.
The more they thought about it, the more ashamed they grew.
"How did we not notice it?" Kagura said focusing on the ground.
"We were to selfish to see that all this time she was hurting, and she kept on a brave face to protect us." Momiji basically whispered.
Seeing as they were telling the truth the host club calmed down. "What're we going to do about this person? From the looks of it he has hostages as well." Kyoya said treating this as another job.
"I could call my...special team if you wanted." Kyoya smirked.
"I'm sorry but that wouldn't work. You see" Shigure paused and looked at the others, they nodded and he continued to tell them of their situation, "there was a curse placed on our family that causes us to turn into the 12 animals, plus the cat, of the zodiac."
"The reason you can't send people after Akito is that when he dies all of us are affected too."
Everyone looked at each other like the people in front of them were crazy.
Kagura got fed up and walked over to the closest 'boy' which was Haruhi. She hugged 'him' but nothing happened.
She was startled and looked at 'him'. "Are you a girl by any chance?" Kagura asked.
Getting more creeped out by the minute Haruhi laughed uncomfortably, "Yes why?"
Kagura laughed, "No wonder it didn't work!" She mover one person over and hugged Tamaki.
Poof.
Her clothes now laid on the floor and on top was a small boar.
"Believe us now?" She asked.
Shigure sweat dropped, "you see whenever our bodies are under a great deal of stress or were hugged by a member of the opposite sex, we transform into our animals."
"That's amazing! What animals are all of you?" Honey bounced happily, completely unfazed by the situation.
His twin walked up. "Well I'm the rabbit!" Momiji exclaimed.
Honey froze and his bangs covered his face. "Takashi" Honey said seriously.
Everyone in the room froze.
"THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER!" He yelled and threw Momiji into Haruhi.
Poof.
Let's just say for the good bit of the next hour Honey played with his new best friend.
"So this is what Tohru meant when she said she couldn't talk about it!" Haruhi said starting to relax around the people.
Hitori walked out and got everyone's attention. "She'll be fine she just needs a little bit of rest." He half smiled.
At this the whole room relaxed and they started to mingle.
Tohru went and sat next to the small boar, "so which animals are the rest?" She asked out of curiosity.
Kagura smiled, "Shigure is the dog, Ayame is the snake, and Hitori's the dragon" she said gesturing over to the group, Ayame, Shigure, and Tamaki were hitting it off big. And with their coinciding personalities Hitori found himself taking a couple Tylenol.
"Momiji is obviously the rabbit and Haru is the cow," they looked over to Momiji and Honey playing and eating cake(Momiji's still in bunny form) while Mori and Haru sat to the side, watching the two.
"Yuki's the rat and Kyo's the cat" the twins were teasing the two mercilessly and they could tell a fight would soon breakout.
Haruhi and Kagura stifled giggles at the similarities in their groups.
Tohru, who was leaning against the doorframe decided to make her presence known, "This is so nice. I wish it could stay like this forever."
A collective gasp was heard throughout the group as everyone crowded around her.
They all formed a group hug and all at once there was a huge, poof.
They all laughed together as they all took on their forms.
All the animals were seated at one couch on either side of Tohru. A rat rested on her head and a cat laid in her lap.
"Well have to do something about Akito especially since he has Hiro and Kisa." Tohru sighed.
Hitori...flopped I guess at this statement. "What do you mean? Hiro and Kisa went on a vacation for two months."
Tohru paled. "Are. You. Kidding. Me." Anger built in her voice. Knowing she was about to burst Yuki and Kyo backed away from her.
She threw a little tantrum and the worst done was that she flipped a table. The entire room knew now that Tohru was scary when she snapped.
After it was over she sank to the floor and started crying.
Haruhi rushed to her side, "it's okay Tohru don't cry!" She hugged her.
"No it's just that I'm so relieved." She sniffled. They stayed like that for a bit and soon the two girls fell asleep.
Not to long after that the group changed back and shocked the rest of the hosts who were in a daze at the amount of nudity they saw. Thankfully though Kagura was covered by her blanket and they didn't have to take an extra anatomy lesson.
With everyone fully dressed and tired they all decided to crash at the kings house and deal with their problems tomorrow.
How was it!?
I know there hasn't been much romance between Tohru and Mori but it'll come next chapter... And as a sneak peek, is anyone ready for a fair? ;)
