Recap:
"In it... Tohru and everyone else... dies. An evil man kills them." Kisa trembles a little as she recalls her nightmare. Eventually she falls back asleep so I just hold her in my arms slightly rocking her. 'Senshi you bastard. Scaring a child like this... You and Micah will pay.'
Maya POV
I yawn as I stand from my comfy bed and sleeping boyfriend. I glance at his adorable face before changing from my white nightgown into a green tank top and black shorts. I slip out into the hall and make my way downstairs. As I head towards the kitchen, I have an urge to walk into the living room. Following the urge, I walk into the living room to see and Tohru sleeping on the couch. 'It's so cute.' I silently gush at the adorable sight of the two. 'I should wake Kisa so Tohru won't become flustered. Her skin is turning red where their skin is touching.' Signs of red patches are appearing and spreading across Tohru's hands which have Kisa's hands on top of them. I gently shake Kisa and slowly her golden eyes open and stare back at me, looking a little uneasy. I smile at her trying to soothe some of her uneasiness and receive a small smile back.
"Come help me make breakfast, okay?" I ask softly and she briskly nods and I silently help her escape Tohru's loose grasp. We quietly make our way to the kitchen as Tohru continues to sleep peacefully. Akira and Trina make their appearance as Kisa and I start making pancakes.
"Good morning Maya. Good morning Kisa." The female twins say simultaneously, smiling as they enter the kitchen. Kisa shyly glances at them, quietly saying 'Good morning' before handing me another egg to crack into the bowl of batter.
"Can we help out as usual?" Akira asks looking at the uncooked food laying out on the counter.
"Of course. Trina can you give this to Tohru?" I ask handing Trina a bottle full of a clear liquid. She nods as she takes it and heads into the living room. As soon as I'm making the first pancake and Akira, with the help of Kisa, are making the waffles, I hear a scream and then footsteps. Tohru comes rushing into the kitchen, a laughing Trina behind her. She looks at me kind of panicked and surprised, I look to Trina who's trying to stop laughing. Tohru's skin is red, head to toe and her breathing is heavy.
"What did she do?" I ask as I flip the pancake onto a platter next to the oven.
"She hugged me... while her whole body was on fire!" Tohru yells and turns to glare at Trina as she walks past her to the table. I look at Trina in faked disappointment before actually asking what was on my mind.
"Did you at least give her the medicine?" Trina's face takes on a look that says I should be worried, making me sigh heavily.
"I'll go get it." Trina says, standing up again and jogging back to the living room, coming back a minute later with the bottle of liquid. She hands it to Tohru who takes it hesitantly. She looks at me and I nod my head to ensure her that it wasn't bad. She gulps it down immediately after and sighs happily as she sets the empty glass bottle onto the counter. She closes her eyes momentarily before opening them again and smiling at me.
"Thank you. I feel much better." She says and indeed she looked better. Her red skin was going back to its natural color and the heat that had been radiating from her was no longer as hot.
"Now let's cook, shall we?" I say, beckoning her to the oven. She smiles as she happily walks over to where I am making pancakes.
It's not 20 minutes after we had cooked at least 10 different breakfast items and had started setting up the table that Yuki, Kyo, Akito, Senshi, Ren, and Taiga come downstairs... at the same time.
Tohru POV
I hear loud bickering coming from the stairs to the first floor and immediately I turn my head away from the sausages on the stove to the 6 guys about to get physical. Kyo and Yuki are arguing as usual but Senshi is also commenting on the occasion catching Kyo's and Ren's wrath as Akito and Taiga stay quiet most of the time. Taiga occasionally tried to break them up but eventually just leaves them be because it was a waste of time. I growl under my breath and Ren must've heard me because he immediately stopped walking and went pale. Senshi stops walking as well and looks at me, smirking.
I glare at him as I walk forward and drag Taiga, Ren, and Kyo into the kitchen. I look at each of them before I turn to Maya who's chuckling softly. I give her and Akira a pleading look and they both nod. Kyo and Yuki are about to go at it again but Maya whistles. When Maya whistles it's a high pitched sound that can make your ears bleed. Kyo, Yuki, Akito, and Senshi immediately flinch and cringe at the sound of it. The rest of us are used to it by now since we've heard it quite often. Maya stops and turns back to the omelets she was making before the commotion.
"Was that really necessary girl?" Akito and Senshi seeth and Maya just ignores them. 'I wouldn't bite the hand of the person feeding me.' I sigh as I pull Kyo to the other side of the room and make sure that everyone else is calm.
"Taiga, will you go wake the ones in their rooms? Except John and Mark's." I say, watching Taiga shiver, remembering his... mistake from long ago. He walks away as Don comes hobbling into the kitchen, Zane and Zan right behind him. Don has a bandage wrapped around his leg but was fine nonetheless, Zane has a cast on his right arm and bandaging covered his left arm, Zan has bandages covering his right hand, a band-aid on his face, and apparent stitches on his right shoulder and knee. I flinch at the sight of them before I turn my head away in guilt. I feel gazes on my back as I finish cooking my pot of sausages.
After Breakfast
Walking around in the mansion after Maya gave me some more medicine. I know Taiga and Kyo are training in our makeshift battle area. I'm walking around just to do something as well as to plot against Micah and Senshi. 'Micah hurt my friends, Senshi hurt family. They're both going to pay.'
"Tohru, how about some sparring practice?" Don shouts from behind me, running to catch up. I stop and smile at him for bringing up the idea.
"Sure. We could both use it."
