ON WITH THE STORY!
To learn about the past…We need to go to the beginning….
"I came from a rich family… We were well off and had a really big house. The workers were part of our family. It was a nice home. It all started when I came back from school… I was eight years old and my mother was going to have a baby. Getting back home I saw that my parents were doing things that a normal family would do… Decorating the baby's room. Even though we were rich we always did normal things…"
"If I could ask, What were your mother and father's names?" Tohru asked as Ushio smiled slightly
"You can ask whatever you like, Miuna and Kaito Okazaki,"
Flashback
"Ushio~! How was your day? How are your friends!" Miuna Okazaki, Ushio Okazaki's mom asked gently hugging her daughter
"It was great! And my friends are fine too!"
"Have them over sometime!" Kaito Okazaki, Ushio's dad exclaimed popping his head into the room.
"I'm sure they'll be glad!" Ushio smiled running towards her dad who told her to stay where she was
"Wait! Don't come here it's a surprise! Be right back!" He shouted as Miuna smiled at her husband's usual antics
"Okay dad!" Clattering noises were heard and a few footsteps too until 5 minutes later the door opened
"Yush! No you may come in princesses," He bowed as they both giggled.
"WOW!" Going in Ushio noticed that one of the spare rooms next to her's was decorated into a fine babies room. The walls were striped with light pink and light blue, In the middle of the room was a cradle/cot with a mobile hanging above it. Toys were scattered around the room. It was perfect.
"You think?" Kaito asked scratching his head in embarrassment as Ushio and Miuna both squealed
"IT'S SO CUTE!" The both screamed
"Haha," He laughed hugging them both as Miuna suddenly screamed
"Mom! What's wrong!" Ushio shouted as Kaito suddenly freaked out
"Baby… coming…." She said as Kaito freaked out and ran to the top of the stairs
"LEO! GET THE CAR! It's an emergency!"
"Yes Kaito sir!"
"Dad~!"
"The prince is coming to his princesses! Wait for me!" He shouted as a weak giggle was heard.
"Kaito sir! The car's ready do you need assistance?"
"Yes! Help with Miuna!"
"Yes!" Leo exclaimed as they helped Miuna get in the car as they all piled in at the back. Leo driving.
"Leo carefully,"
"Yes sir, But sir that car's coming at us awfully fast!" Leo exclaimed as Kaito eyes wided and looked to the surroundings. They were on a bridge and that car was going to send them flying into the ocean…
"Ushio!"
"Yes dad?"
"LIVE MY PRINCESS!" He shouted opening the car door and pushing Ushio out of it
"Ushio! Don't cry we'll be fine!" Miuna shouted as the car toppled into the ocean the other car spiralling behind it
"MOM! DAD, LEO!" Ushio exclaimed tears streaming down her face as she tried to jump after them.
"No don't!" A female voice shouted pulling Ushio back and hugging her tightly.
"LET GO!"
"No you'll die like this, Don't you remember what your parents said to you?"
"Live…" She sniffed as the woman nodded.
"Now I'll take you home,"
"NO!" She screamed…
"Are you both alright?!"
"Yes… But we don't have much time, May we borrow some pen and paper!"
"Yes! But shouldn't you go to the hospital?"
"No there is no use, Our life is slipping away… For now we must write a letter to our beloved daughter. Please may she live… She's my princess my daughter Ushio Okazaki!"
"Yes so please! Help us!"
"Yes, Here you are," The lady smiled sadly running and fishing out 4 pieces paper from her bag,
"Thank you…."
"Let us write the letter to Ushio. Let her read it when she's 17 years old… And let us intrust Kana to give this to her when they are both older…."
"Yes," Miuna replied tears streaming down their faces as they wrote. (Ushio isn't telling this part)
(≚ᄌ≚)ƶƵ
Tears brimmed Tohru eyes as she hugged Ushio knowingly for she had too lost her parents. Ushio hugged her back sniffing slightly.
"Tomorrow is my 17th birthday…. And the day after that is there death anniversary…." Ushio said as Tohru smiled and said
"You should of said sooner,"
"I'm sorry…" She said crying as they hugged.
A little while later and Ushio was fast asleep in Tohru's arms. Smiling knowingly she whispered
"You can come out now…" Shigure came tumbling out first Yuki and Kyo behind her.
"It's Ushio chan's birthday tomorrow! Can we do something special?" She asked as they all nodded
"Yeah! We can have Momiji, Haru, Kagura and the others over!"
"Not Kagura!" Kyo groaned as they all laughed
"Let me take Ushio to my room!" Tohru laughed as the others frowned
"I'll take her Honda san,"
"Careful not to transform,"
"Yes~" Yuki replied as he picked up Ushio and carried her up the stairs and into Tohru's room.
"Say… Ushio, Do I know you?" Yuki asked to no one
"Mmmhmmm…." A content Ushio sighed as Yuki walked out of the room deep in thought.
"Hey rat!"
"W...hat?"
"You look troubled that's what,"
"Aww is Kyo worried?"
"Shut up will ya!" Kyo shouted storming off and Yuki laughed
"Stupid Cat,"
(≚ᄌ≚)ƶƵ
"So, tomorrow you will go pay a visit to Shigure's place. It seems that the everyone will be there seeing as it's that girls birthday. It's like taking to down at once!"
"I'm not doing it,"
"Ahh but you are."
"Who said I am!"
"I, Your mother that is who,"
"You're not my mother!"
(These two are from different places they have nothing to do with each other)
"It's Ushio's birthday tommorow,"
"Ahh Ushio… So? Is there anything important you need to do?"
"Yes, This letter that has been passed down from Kyoko to I needs to be delivered on her 17th birthday,"
"So it's been 10 years…"
"Yes, And it seems like she's going to get a bit of a shock,"
"Yeah,"
"I'm dreading that she might hate me for not giving it sooner…"
"Kana she won't…"
"Hmm maybe…"
"Mommy! Ushi Ushi!"
(≚ᄌ≚)zƵ
The next day had been a good one. Ushio had woken up to an excited Shigure, A happy Yuki, A grumpy but happy looking Kyo, A normal Tohru, Momiji, Haru, Arisa and Hana shouting happy birthday.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"
"It's not amazing but we worked hard on it last night~!"
They had then done some usual things and then had gotten to the presents.
"Ooh what's this? It's squishy!" Ushio exclaimed tearing the present open.
"See for yourself!" Tohru exclaimed as Ushio's eyes sparkled
"It's a cat plushie! So cute!"
"Here," Kyo grumbled passing her a present
"Oh Kyo you got one for me too?"
"Yeah now open it,"
"Okay!" Ushio smiled opening it, "Oooh it's a bracelet~ A cat bracelet! What's with the orange cat theme?"
"Uh…" He said as Shigure and Yuki facepalmed as Haru chuckled
"They all have a strange obsession with animals," Hana said as Shigure, Yuki, Kyo, Momiji and Haru all tensed up as Ushio laughed it off
Then they had cake.
"Yummy!"
"I'm glad you think so!"
"It's too chocolaty…"
"I'm sorry I should've known! Kyo kun doesn't like chocolate!"
"Shut up Kyo!"
A little while later and everyone was gone, Ushio smiled as sighed
"I don't want to leave…"
"I don't want you to go too," Tohru sighed as Ushio nodded
"But I have too go!"
"I'll miss you!"
"I'll miss you too!" Ushio and Tohru fake cried as Shigure popped his head around the door
"So dramatic… Sigh where's Aya when you need him?"
"SHIGURE, DEAR BROTHER! I am here!"
"Eh?"
"Oh god no!"
"Kill me!" Yuki and Kyo groaned as Tohru giggled
"I'M HERE~" Ayame sang as Yuki and Kyo glared at Shigure
"Why'd ya remember him!?"
"I don't know!" Shigure shrugged as he was sent flying
(≚ᄌ≚)zƵ
"Thank you for walking with me Tohru!" Ushio smiled as a figure stood by her apartment
"No problem!" She smiled
"Ushio," The voice said as Ushio bit her lip and looked around confused
"Ehh who are you?" Ushio asked as the voice spoke and walked out of the shadows
"Hello Ushio! Happy Birthday,"
"Ohh Kana! Don't scare me like that…"
"Sorry haha, I have something for you." Kana spoke seriously as Ushio and Tohru frowned "We should go inside,"
"Okay!" Once they were inside Ushio's apartment room, They sat down and Kana handed Ushio a letter in side an envelope.
"What's this?" Ushio asked as Kana sighed
"A letter,"
"I can see that, But who from?"
"See for yourself, Read the front of the envelope," She replied pointing to the front
"To our beloved Ushio… Is this?"
"Yes, It's a letter that your parents intrusted me and one other in giving it to you… The other passed away so now it's my responsibility."
"How did they…. Get this to you… And write this?"
"They wrote it in their last breaths," They gave this paper to a woman named Kyoko Honda, Tohru's mother, She was the one who helped them write this...
"That's my mother," Tohru said as Kana nodded
"Yes, Now read it Ushio,"
"Yes…" Ushio smiled slightly and opened the letter and began to read aloud "To our beloved daughter Ushio, I'm sorry that we haven't been there for you in the last 10 years… Today you're seventeen. Happy Birthday! You're probably a really cute girl now… I hope you haven't been sad over our deaths all this time…
We leave we with something important… I hope you can smile all of the time… Those important things are….
