{Volume: 5}
Yes!
Yes!
Yes!
I love my fans!
YYYYYEEEEESSSSS!
"Hey, Tohru do you like my hair?" Sakani stepped in their room, her hair was now only to her waist,
"You cut it!" Tohru yelled.
"Yeah! I'm getting tired of braiding it all the time!" Sakani smiled, "But it's gonna grow back anyways and I won't feel like cutting it…again!"
Few days later…
Tohru and Sakani stood in the window.
"Wow! There's a lake!" Tohru yelled.
"It's so peaceful…" Sakani smiled.
"It's beautiful! And it's so big!" Tohru yelled.
"So what if there is a lake? What's so fascinating?" Hatori asked.
"It's the first time we've seen a lake for real!" Tohru yelled.
"It makes me want to learn how to swim but sharks will bite." Sakani said.
"There are no sharks in a lake." Everyone said.
"Oh! That means I can learn how to swim!" Sakani yelled.
"But there are fish in the water." Hatori said.
"I'll play with them." Sakani said.
Silence…
"I was kidding! It's too cold to swim!" Sakani laughed.
"Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh." Shigure laughed darkly.
"Shigure, you don't think that's funny…do you?" Sakani asked.
"Ah, ha ha! I'm just wondering if Jason will swing by the villa." Shigure fanned himself.
"Even such a simple thing." Yuki said.
Kyo wondered, Jason? Jason? I don't have a clue. Who is that?
Sakani opened her mouth but Shigure had already said, "Kyo, you are too innocent! Jason is a new type of bear!"
"AH! HOW WOULD ANYONE KNOW THESE KINDS OF THINGS!" Kyo yelled.
"Are they bear bred aboard?" Tohru asked.
"I can feel the bears energy right now…" Sakani said, "In fact I feel a lot of animals, Cat, dog, rat, even a seahorse?"
Pfffft!
Shigure laughed.
LOL
Hello, everyone…this is out of the blue but in fact we have…come to the Souma family's summer house for vacation. Hatori has came along this time so I'm extremely happy!' Tohru thought.
Yuki and Tohru sat on a bench, "Honda-san…"
"Yes!" Tohru almost jumped.
Yuki thought about telling her that he as that boy…who helped them get home… "Actually I…" the images flashed through his mind.
"…"
No…
Yuki looked away, "Mmmm, it's nothing important sorry."
Tohru wondered, What's going on?
{At the same time}
Sakani walked in front Kyo looking around and petting the birds.
She looked back and saw that Kyo looked…depressed.
Sigh…
Sakani turned around, "You know you didn't have to come…"
Kyo looked away.
I feel that I did something wrong…but his mind is so confusing I can't read it… I can't tell I did something wrong…I don't know what it is.
Sakani stood there with a wide space of at least seven yards between them.
Sakani faced the ground and clutched the bottom of her dress, "You can go back, I'll catch up later…"
Sakani said waiting for an answer, but Kyo just turned around.
Really? I guess that's it…
Sakani was about to turn around to walk the other way but there was… a mad bear.
Sakani took a deep breathe…don't scream…
I didn't know Shigure was telling the truth…he wasn't but he didn't know he was…
ROOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRR
"Ohmigod." Sakani took a step forward.
ROOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAARRRRR!
She felt the bears breathe.
Her heart was pounding…how does no one hear this?
I didn't know this summer I was going to die! And not by my father!
A BEAR!
If I move it'll chase me…if I don't run any second now I'm going to be ripped apart.
The bear stood up on two feet and Sakani watched the shadow get bigger and bigger.
Big killer bear at three o'clock, repeat big killer bear at three o'clock. Appears to be like 50 feet tall or something!
Sakani took a step, the bear took a step, and then the bear finally grabbed her by the end of her dress and bought her to its face, "Ah! Eh! Um! Hi, new species bear please don't kill me!"
ROOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAARRRRR!
Hatori and Shigure were just walking down wondering what the noise was.
"STUPID! RUUUUUNNN!" Sakani yelled.
"Whoa. And ya'll though I as lying." Shigure said.
ROOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRR!
The bear stepped close to Shigure and leaned in, "Grrrrrrrr…"
"Nice bear…" Shigure said.
The bear move Sakani close to Shigure and Shigure took her hand, "Grrrrrrr!"
Shigure let go of Sakani's hand and the bear tossed her like a whole mile away into the lake and the bear walked away. With that life flashes before her eyes.
"Shigure!" Hatori yelled.
"What…he was going to eat me!" Shigure said dramatically.
"That's not the problem! Sakani is a mile away in the lake and she's gonna drown!" Hatori yelled.
"How do you know?" Shigure said, "There's a thing called swimming."
"And there's a thing called, 'I don't know how to swim.'" Hatori said.
Shigure froze and picked up the phone and called the house.
"Hm? The phone is ringing? Who could it be?" Tohru said.
Yuki hesitated and picked up the phone, "Help! Sakani's gonna drown!" Shigure said.
"WHAT!" Yuki yelled.
"What's wrong?" Tohru asked.
"Put it on speaker!" Shigure shouted.
Beep!
"Help! Sakani's gonna drown!" Shigure shouted.
"WHAT!" everyone yelled in shock.
"Shigure hand me the phone."
"Yaa!"
"Sakani's been tossed by a bear into the lake! You guys need to get her out the water now, before she drowns!" Hatori said sharply.
Yuki hung up the phone and they all ran outside toward the lake.
"I don't see her!" Tohru yelled looking in the water.
Kyo took off his shirt and jumped in.
Shigure and Hatori came behind out of breath, "That's the biggest amount of exercise…since…" Shigure then said, "Highschool."
"Kyo just jumped in!" Tohru yelled.
Everyone watched the water.
Splash!
Huff, Puff!
Kyo rarely had to pull Sakani out the water. (Yuh know, cause she so light and stuff)
Hatori ran over and put to fingers on the side of Sakani's neck, "No pulse!"
Hatori performed CPR and everyone watched the water squirt out of Sakani's mouth.
Butterflies flew around Sakani.
"It's not working!" Hatori said.
Tohru had tears in her eyes.
Kyo then performed mouth to mouth at least three times.
Silence…
Tears left Sakani's eyes and they fluttered open, and she blushed as Kyo quickly departed.
Cough! Cough!
Sakani breathed rapidly holding her chest, and more tears left her eyes.
Tohru ran over and gave her a hug and Sakani hugged her back.
He saved my life…I don't know what to say.
Everyone was shocked.
There's something weird going on…and Sakani hasn't talked ever since she almost drowned. But even before…Both Kyo and Yuki's expressions, since last night visiting mother's grave. And now they just look depressed.' Tohru thought.
{Last night}
Everyone was eating dinner…
Silence…
Tohru leaned forward, "Can I ask…?"
Clack, Clack, Flap, Flap,
"I've come back…" Shigure said.
"Oh, you come back already Shigure-san!" Tohru said.
"Ahem…" Shigure looked at everyone, "Want to go on vacation tomorrow, together?"
"HUH?" everyone wondered.
"Because starting tomorrow, it'll be five days of continuous holiday!" Shigure said, "It's such a rare occasion, so why not go on vacation together?"
Kyo looked at Shigure, "Why are you suggesting such weird ideas all of a sudden? Are you drunk?" Kyo asked.
"He's trying to run away from his editor," Sakani leaned forward, "Am I right?"
"Ah…well…so, are we going or not? Why don't we go to the Souma summer housing or something like that! How about it Tohru and Sakani!" Shigure smiled.
"HUH!" Tohru yelled.
"Last time we already went on a trip." Sakani said.
Shigure put his finger up, "But that time I didn't go!"
"In actual fact…I really want to go…sometimes I really envy you two a lot!" Shigure said.
"Hmmm…" Sakani squinted her eyes.
"Let's go together then!" Tohru yelled.
"STOP PRETENDING!" Yuki and Kyo yelled.
"Okay, okay…even so you to are coming as well, aren't you?" Shigure smiled dramatically, "Or are you really going to let me, Tohru, and Sakani go alone?"
Grr…
"Okay its been decided! We're going to make out own way there!" Shigure said, "I can be your driver for the day!"
"Absurd, Shigure we don't even have a car." Sakani said.
"Shigure…do you even have a license?" Yuki asked.
Shigure smiled and looked down.
…
Then looked up, "Ofcourse I do…"
"What was that hesitation?" Yuki and Kyo asked.
"You…are…a…liar." Sakani said looking at Shigure.
It seems that Sakani was right…he lied.
Hatori was driving a car and all four of us were squeezed in the back.
"Hatori-san's driving skill is just brilliant!" Shigure said fanning himself.
Whatever…
So in the end we came to Hatori-san's summer house…
Seeing those to so depressed makes me worried.
"Shigure…" Kyo turned his head from the window, "Why did you suddenly want to come here?"
"Ah ha?" Shigure laughed.
"That was going to be my question! What plot do you have planned?" Yuki asked.
Sakani put her hand on his shoulder, "Were you planning for me to die?"
"Oh, that's right. How was it like to be dead for like five minutes? Kyo pretty much devoured your soul." Shigure laughed.
"Shutup…he saved my life, and that's all that matters." Sakani said darkly.
Shigure put up his hand, "Okay, okay…I was just joking around."
"You shouldn't joke around about death." Sakani said.
Shigure got scared, "Sorry."
"Sorry, doesn't cut it." Sakani said and walked out the door.
"Hmm…you guys are really misjudging my good intentions! I only wanted honestly to come on vacation with you guys…I can't believe you guys are suspicious of me!" Shigure said scratching his head with the fan, "If you guys have time to talk about other people's problems, then you might as well take Tohru and find Sakani for a look around the lake, Yuki, Kyo!" Shigure said.
Silence…
"Huh? You two…what are you looking so down for?" Shigure asked.
"Really! I can go by myself and find Sakani! Myself!" Tohru staggered.
"Hmm…your moods are so down…you can definitely use the presence of an optimistic person…" Shigure thought and smiled, "WE SHOULD CALL AYAME OVER!" Shigure put his hand on the phone.
Both Yuki and Kyo had a dark aura around them and darkly said, "If you call him over, I'm going to kill you…"
Shigure became scared.
And that's when they went out the house with Tohru to look around…and stuff.
"They should have agreed to take a walk earlier…those two have been looking depressed since yesterday." Shigure said.
Hatori lighted his cigarette, "Shigure…about the reason to why you suddenly wanted to go out…"
"Could it be like Sakani said, to play a prank on your editor…" Hatori said.
Shigure smiled sweetly.
The editor looked at the sign on the door, 'I've gone on vacation, so no need to try and find me.
Shigure
Souma
The editor dropped her phone, "AAAAAAUUUGGGHHH!" she fell to her knees.
"Mit-Chan! Mit-Chan, come back first to talk it over! Don't worry Shigure-san is only joking with you! Come back! Mit-Chan! Don't commit suicide!" the person on her phone shouted.
{Chapter 25.2}
"I'm not playing a prank on her! It's just that I like joking with her!" Shigure smiled.
The poor editor…
Yuki, Kyo, and Tohru walked in silence.
Silence…
Tohru freaked out, Heavy…heavy atmosphere! The atmosphere all around is so tense…they aren't even arguing…
Tohru's heart thumped louder and louder.
Why has it suddenly become like this? Last time when e went to clean the grave to atmosphere wasn't like this. For what reason?
OH!
All three of them saw Sakani hugging the bear with teary eyes.
"It's okay…I forgive you…" Sakani said, then she turned around.
Everyone's eyes were wide.
Sakani patted the bear twice and the bear ran away and disappeared in the woods.
"Ah, ha-ha, you see…I'm really friendly with the animals around here…ah…hello!" Sakani staggered, "Lucky to be alive right!"
Sakani faked laughed and kept on walking, Those two still see depressed…for some reason I can't really tell if I did something wrong or not…error…it's like a malfunction in my hearing or something.
Naturally they would probably be annoyed by me! Could it be that it's wrong for me to read their minds, or is something…is it something me or Tohru said.
Is it that they think I'm stupid or there sad that I almost died or something, because I basically was dead for like five minutes…it…it was…phenomenal…
"Ahh," Sakani and Tohru said at the same time and they looked at each other and nodded their heads, "We're sorry!"
"I'm a very slow person so please forgive me…if I had said something to make you two upset will you tell me? Next time, I'll definitely change, definitely change!" Tohru yelled.
"I-I think I must of said something or," Sakani paused, "Earlier…you shouldn't worry…even if I died or not…I want you two to be happy! Right now, I'm fine."
Tears formed in Sakani's eyes, "Uh…so…"
"Miss Honda…? Wait…wait…" Yuki worried.
"What are you talking about? I really don't understand what your saying…" Kyo then tripped.
"AHHHHH!" Kyo grabbed on to a tree.
"KYO! ARE YOU ALRIGHT!" Tohru yelled.
"What's with this trail!" Kyo yelled.
"This footprint is…" Yuki said.
"Is too small to be the bear I just met, it looks like a foot print of a human…" Sakani said.
Kyo looked closer, "A screw?"
Sakani thought for a moment, Could it be that father is here? Is he watching us every move we take? A screw from his face, a footprint from having no shoes…I think I feel his energy…correct…his energy lies on this forest…
"Uh…hm?" Tohru looked closer.
Sakani took a step back, "Father…"
"Huh?" everyone wondered.
Sakani's eyes widened, "He's been following us! It's too dangerous! You guys go back…!"
Sakani was running back and then was falling off some type of hill, "Miss Honda!"
"Sakani!" Tohru yelled to reach for her hand but she only fell too.
Don, Don, Donnnn…
"That's right, that's right, no problem!" Shigure spoke on the phone, "I've finished the final raft, I as only joking with you!"
…
"That's right, that's right. Okay, okay. Bye!" Shigure sounded annoyed as he slammed the phone back on the whatyoumacallit…
"I automatically reported to the editor just now." Shigure cried dramatically.
"Ofcourse you have to. Stop crying." Hatori said.
"This is so boring, so boring, so boooring…" Shigure complained.
Hatori sighed, "I'm very bored too."
"Huh? Hatori why would you be bored? I bought lots of good books to read!" Shigure said shocked.
"Ah?" Hatori wondered.
Bam, B-bam, bam, bam
(say that really fast…just saying…)
"You haven't read a book in ages! Enjoy yourself!" Shigure said dropping a bunch of books on the table.
Oh so this is why…because Kana was about to get married…that's why Shigure used his own special way to comfort me. That's right…Ayame also came to see me.
"Work load is so busy…must be tiring!" Ayame chimed handing Hatori a cup of tea, "I breed this tea for you! Here have a taste then!"
"Shigure…" Hatori said.
"How is it?" Shigure smiled.
Hatori held up a book and looked at, then smiled, "Hm…it's been a long while to be like this…to be able to peacefully read a book."
Shigure smiled.
"Sakani, Tohru and the others won't have any problems…" Hatori said.
"With Tohru and Sakani there, there won't be any problems!" Shigure smiled.
It seems that it isn't as problem free as imagined!
"I'm so, so, so, so, so, sorry! Sorry! I'll do anything to make it up!" Sakani yelled.
"I'm sorry too!" Tohru said.
She shouldn't have to make it up, she has already died and come back to life!
Close Call!
"You two aren't hurt are you!" Yuki worried.
"It wasn't that much of a fall! I mean…you guys didn't have to do that." Sakani said.
"Really! You have to take care when walking!" Kyo yelled.
"Yes!" Sakani yelled.
Yuki patted himself (As a rat) then said, "Take care while walking huh? Who was it that slipped first! You don't have the right to tell others!"
"WHAT!" Kyo yelled.
"DON'T ACT DUMB! THE ONE WHO FELL THE WORST WAS YOU!" Kyo shot back, "Didn't I say before, people as weak and fragile as you are useless!"
"Didn't you go to train in the mountains? Why are you so useless!" Yuki shot back.
At the same time Sakani was searching for clothes, "DON'T TWIST THE FACTS! I ONLY TRAINED IN THE MOUNTAINS FOR FOUR MONTHS, DON'T PRESUME I KNOW EVERYTHING! IF IT WERE YOU, YOU WOULD HAVE DIED IN TWO DAYS TIME!" Kyo shouted.
"You really lack common knowledge and sense! I already told you, that thing is not Jason! It's just a name of a character in one of those horror films." Yuki calmly shot back.
"WHO WOULD KNOW SO MUCH! WHY WOULD BEARS APPEAR ON TV ANYWAY!" Kyo yelled.
"Frankly speaking, YOU'RE JUST STUPID!" Yuki stated.
"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" Kyo yelled.
Sakani and Tohru looked up as Yuki climbed a tree away from Kyo.
"I'M DEFINETLY GOING TO KILL YOU AND SHRED YOU TO PIECES!" Kyo yelled.
"I'm tired of listening to this attitude of yours…" Yuki complained.
Kyo scratched the tree trying to get to Yuki, "DON'T YOU DARE TRY TO ESCAPE! HAVE A FIGHT FAIR AND SQUARE! YOU SLY BASTARD!"
"To compare our present form, you're the sly bastard!" Yuki yelled.
A bunch of mice formed around Yuki, "YOU BIG FAT LIAR! YOU'VE EVEN CALLED YOUR COMRADES!" Kyo shouted.
"They came on their own will, I don't have anything to do with it!" Yuki yelled.
"YOU BEAST! THIS IS WHY MICE ARE THE WORST!" Kyo yelled.
"Ahem…Haha…" Tohru and Sakani laughed, "You two are arguing."
No dip.
"HAHAHA!" Sakani and Tohru laughed.
"HAHAHAHA!"
Kyo and Yuki stared and watched them laugh.
"Honda…?" Yuki wondered.
"What…what?" Kyo wondered.
"Oh…oh, I'm really sorry." Tohru said.
"It's just…you two are arguing calling each other 'Sly bastards' and stuff…I'm really sorry." Sakani smiled.
"That's because…seeing you two like that…we can be relieved!" Tohru said.
"Hmmmm…you two have reverted to how you used to be…" Sakani said, "Seeing you two like that…"
Sakani looked at the sky, "It makes me feel happy, so it's very strange…"
Usually, when you two argue me and Tohru stand aside watching. Today I'm even happy to see you two argue…it's indeed strange.
"You…Miss Honda, before you fell, you were saying something…" Yuki said, "Actually, I'm not angry with you Miss Honda! Not with you either, Honda-san! The reason why I seem upset is because…it's because…I feel a bit ill…so…"
"Huh!" Tohru worried.
"But…I'm fine now…sorry…I made you two worry." Yuki said.
"Me too…" Kyo said, "I'm not annoyed, I'm not!"
"It's only…I also feel…a bit sick and uncomfortable!" Kyo yelled.
"Does your brain have a problem?" Yuki asked.
"Huh?" Kyo turned around.
POOF!
"AHH!" Tohru quickly turned around but Sakani as already facing the ground.
They couldn't find their way to tell the truth…inside they're just so confused.
"I…I as actually meaning to also say…that living with you two has made me actually feel happy inside…I actually for once feel happy…this whole time I wasn't trying to show that I wasn't happy because…I want everyone else to be happy…and I shouldn't be the one to spoil that." Tears flowed from Sakani's face, "Instead of having tears of sadness I have tears of happiness, so…" Sakani looked up to Kyo and Yuki, "Thank-you, for saving my life." Sakani did a cheesy smile, "Also, I would like you too to tell the truth! I know that you're not ill! But you don't have to tell me anything if you're not ready too! At least I know that…nothing has changed."
"Changed?" Yuki asked.
"Actually, nothing has changed much!" Kyo said.
Yuki and Kyo pointed to each other, "Only, I'm hating this guy more and more!"
"Ah! You!" Yuki shouted.
"You beast!" Kyo yelled, "THAT'S GREAT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I AGREE WITH YOU!"
"I will hate you forever! I hate you until you die!" Yuki yelled.
"Ah! Ha-ha!" Tohru and Sakani laughed.
This is great! You two…are better off arguing like this!
You two…when you two are fighting you are the best!
In the end…
I'm happy for it to be like this!
Hatori was reading: A Sigh in Summer Color by Kiritani Noa
"Is it funny?" Shigure asked.
"This makes people feel bad!" Hatori said.
How was that for the starting of the fifth volume!
(I wish I earned money for this)
