Tsuri looked over the top of her shades at the others. Shigure, Kyo, and a reluctant Yuki were playing Frisbee. Beside her Tohru sat sunbathing, and watching Yuki and the others. Tsuri was waiting for Hatsuharu to return, but he was taking longer then usual. She was ready to go and he was making her wait. She had already changed into her black swim shorts. She heard Tohru sigh and turned to look at her. The girl looked pale even tanning.
"What's wrong Tohru?" Tsuri asked concern evident in her voice.
"Ano, nothing." Tohru replied softly.
"Why don't you go play with them?" Tsrui spotted Hatsuharu coming up the beach with a short board under one arm and a long board under the other. "Besides I'm about to go surfing with Haru." She smiled warmly, standing and dragging Tohru to her feet as well. "Now go play." She commanded pushing Tohru toward the others while she made her way over to Hatsuharu.
Hatsuharu smiled upon seeing her, holding out the long board. "Ready to go?" Tsuri grinned taking the surf board. She made her way toward the ocean, her grin widening as she passed by Kyo. His eye twitched upon seeing her and he muttering obscenities at her. His bright purple Speedo was the highlight of everyone's, including those on the beach, day. Tsuri reached out and hooked her finger in the side of his speedos and pulled.
"It's not so bad, neko." With that she let go and Kyo yelped as the swimsuit snapped back in place. She waded out into the crystal clear water, it might have been a calm day, but Tsuri would soon fix that. One thing about her curse, when each one of her sisters died she acquired their different powers. Her grin fell a bit as she steadied her surfboard with one hand and waited for Hatsuharu. When he reached her he noticed her sad demeanor.
"Thinking about them?" He asked softly. She let a lone tear fall down her face. Hatsuharu smiled warmly at her, reaching out and wiping the tear away. "Come on, I know what will cheer you up." His grin was infectious and she was soon grinning along side him. They both paddled out quite a ways before turning around toward shore. "You know," he said looking at her, "you picked a great spot for this."
Shigure stopped their bit of playing and turned to Tohru. "You want to know what Tsuri can do? What her curse is?" He saw Tohru's eyes widen. "This may not be the ultimate." Shigure was stopped short as Yuki hit him upside the head.
"Would you shut up." Yuki said calmly. He turned to Tohru. "Tsuri can control the elements. If she wants you to know any more she will tell you." Yuki said glaring at Shigure. Tohru seemed slightly confused but nodded. Together they watched as waves seemed to appear out of nowhere and the two were coming toward shore fast. Tsuri was just cursing along on the wave, first standing then sitting on the plain wood board. Hatsuharu, however, was quick the trickster. So much in fact that he was at one point was doing loops around Tsuri. Once they arrived on shore the others went to them.
"Wow! That was amazing." Tohru chirped. The waves died down and Tsuri turned dying blue glowing eyes on her. Hatsuharu came up chuckling. He was completely wet from head to foot.
"Would you like to go out there, Tohru?" Tsuri asked tilting her head to the side to examine not only Tohru, but the rest of the Sohmas as well.
"But.but I don't know how?!" Tohru stuttered not sure if she really wanted to go or not.
"Oh, you can ride with me. I'll make sure nothing happens." Tsuri reached out her hand and waited for Tohru to take hold of it. Tohru relently took hold of her hand. As Tsuri drug Tohru off and Hatsuharu following she shot a glare back at the others, sending all but Yuki a mental message. Don't come after her. This test is for Yuki alone. Both the intense power of her mind and her gaze left them in a state of semi shock. Tsuri told Tohru were to sit and how to help her paddle. Once they were out far enough, Tsuri instructed Tohru to sit still and try not to rock the board. Once Tohru was comfortable and gave a nod of readiness, Tsuri called up the waves and they were off. As they reached the middle of the wave they were riding, Tsuri shot a glance at Hatsuharu, then twisted her foot just enough to tip the board sending both girls into the water.
Everyone on shore gasped as the waves suddenly increased their assault. Shit. Shigure thought. Tsuri must be under a bit of stress for the waves to kick up that much. He watched heeding Tsuri's warning. Yuki reacted quickly and ran straight into the water. Hatsuharu dove into the water and looked around for Tsrui. He quickly found her, but he was surprised to see her looking like she was struggling with her powers. He reached out and grasped her waist pulling her to him, making sure to keep enough distance between them to keep from turning into a cow. He looked into her eyes only to see them glazed over in her internal fight to control the waves, but something wasn't right and he surfaced as fast as he could. As soon as he breached, he just caught Yuki diving under the water to retrieve Tohru.
"What the hell happened?!" He neared yelled in his fright, dragging her up onto his board. The waves were calming down about them and a few moments later Yuki popped up with a fainted Tohru in his arms. He pulled her body onto the long board and paddled her toward shore. Tsuri turned to Hatsuharu with sad eyes.
"The moon's phase is close. I just couldn't control it; it was like it wanted to.." She left off, her eyes dropping.
"It's all right. Yuki saved Tohru and you're alright too." Hatsuharu smiled at her as he slowly guided her toward shore.
"She's fine." Yuki stated emotionlessly as they came up on shore. He turned heated eyes toward Tsuri. "I hope you're happy." With that he picked Tohru up and started off toward the house, with Kyo and a serious faced Shigure. Pulling away from Hatsuharu, Tsuri turgid off toward the lighthouse. Hatsuharu watched her with reproachful eyes. She was acting stranger then usual lately and it was starting to scare him. He wondered if her so called 'death' was approaching.
Tohru was up in no time saying that she was fine and that they shouldn't blame Tsuri. Yuki said nothing while Kyo muttered something about needing to practice and took off, Shigure talked happily with Tohru as she started to cook dinner. Hatsuharu sat with his head bowed across from Yuki.
"Just what was she thinking?" Yuki asked quietly. Hatsuharu looked his cousin straight in the eye.
"You'll have to ask her that yourself, for she has told me nothing." His calm reply seemed to anger the calm Sohma boy.
"We are going home tomorrow! I will not play Tsuri's damn games and I will no longer let her put Tohru in danger!" Yuki slammed his fist into the table top.
"Tsuri has good reasons for what she does. However, we can't go back. Akito ordered us here." Hatsurharu's words seemed to hit home that time. What was Yuki to do? Just as a blushing Tohru opened the kitchen door laden with a tray of food, Tsuri opened the side door with an over large box in her hands. She looked as if she were about to collapse. She set the box down in the living room then plopped down next to Hatsuharu, leaning slightly against him. As dinner was served and handed out, Tsuri continued to drift in and out of sleep. Hatsuharu glanced down at the sleeping girl beside him. What else could he do? Picking her up, and making sure to keep a respectable distance from his chest to keep from transforming, he stood without a word and took her upstairs.
Once in the privacy of her shared room he set her down on the bed. Tsuri opened her eyes slightly to look dully out at him.
"Could you get me a shirt?" She asked sleep still apparent in her voice. Nodding he turned around and opened the second drawer of her dresser. He could hear the rustle of clothes behind him. Not daring to turn around he reached his hand back and held out the shirt. He felt her hands skim down his lower arm to his hand then take the shirt. A moment later she mumbled that he could turn around. Turning her saw her struggling with the covers. Sitting on the edge of the bed he knocked her hands out of the way and pulled them down.
"Lay down." He commanded her softly. He watched the over large shirt wrinkle in some areas and pull in others. Once she was laying on her side in bed, he covered her up again with the sheet. Stroking her hair, Hatsuharu watched as her eyes closed again. He could tell the oncoming of tears when her body shuddered. Then her sobs began and she turned her head into the pillow to try and muffle them. Hatsuharu had known Tsuri for a long time and he had seen her cry only once before when her last sister had died. She had said then that it would be safer and easier to morn them all at once.
"Why the tears?" He muttered sinking down to lay his head near hers as he crouched on the ground. He dropped his hand to her face and wiped away her tears. She just shook her head then her tears came harder, the sobs racking her body. Hatsuharu climbed onto the bed and cradled her close, careful to arrange one of her arms between them. He rubbed her back and kissed her forehead and her tear stained cheeks. Hatsuharu cried silently the knowledge of what could easily happen soon downing on him like the early morning sun.
Shigure stood just outside the door. His face was serious once again and he let a lone cheek roll down his cheek. It seemed to him that Tsuri was morning her own death. He wondered if Hatsuharu knew. Sighing deeply he turned around to find Yuki standing behind him.
"It's best that we leave them be for now." Shigure whispered so not to disturb the occupants inside the room. Yuki's eyes flashed with anger then remorse.
"Is she going to die soon?" He asked bluntly looking down at the ground.
"She seems to think she is. I hope for both their sakes she doesn't." He looked pasted the emotionless boy in front of him. "I think she means well. I think she wishes for you and Kyo to have more then she and Hatsuharu could have." Yuki looked up at Shigure. For once the perverted dog was sounding like the wise man he should be.
"Kyo?" The nazumi asked with slight interest. Shigure regarded Yuki for a moment before he answered.
"In time you will see." With that he breezed past the boy and back down the stairs yelling something about kimonos. Yuki walked to the door and leaned close to it. Inside he could hear the almost silent sobs of Tsuri and Hatsurharu's voice softly singing to her. Turning he made his way down the stairs feeling slightly guilty for intruding on their private moment.
However, once he reached the bottom step he was wishing to just return to his room. Shigure and Tohru were going through the box that Tsuri had brought in holding up the different coloured kimonos up to themselves and a very angry Kyo. Once Tohru spotted him he was standing next to Kyo having Kimonos put up against him.
When Tohru pulled out the bloodred and plum kimono Yuki glanced at Shigure before stating, "Leave that one out; it belongs to Tsuri." Tohru looked surprised. "And if you come across a white one with green vines climbing the sleeves leave that out as well; it's Hatsuharu's." Tohru nodded and set the kimono aside and when she found the white one set that aside as well.
By the time they were done Kyo was wearing a kimono with red and orange and yellow swirled together, Yuki's was forest green, Shigure's was redish brown, and Tohru's was a swirl of light and dark blue and a navy obi. Yuki personally thought it brought out the colour of her eyes, and he reassured Tohru that as soon as Tsuri got up tomorrow that she would declare that she was going to do Tohru's hair for the festival that evening.
By the time everyone had a kimono for the festival it was late and Tohru was just about to fall asleep standing up. Yuki led her upstairs and stopped just outside her room.
"Let just see if Hatsuharu is gone or not." With that he cracked the door open and peeked inside. Hatsuharu was curled around Tsuri as much as the curse and her arm would allow. Sighing he highly doubted that Tohru would feel comfortable sleeping in the same room as them. Shutting the door he turned back to Tohru.
"You are welcome to share my room. You can use Haru's bed." He said coolly. Tohru seemed surprised but nodded not noticing Kyo's shadow on the floor or his silent approach from the stairs. Yuki did and was surprised that Kyo said nothing and disappeared into his room. Yuki led Tohru into his room and waved at Haru's bed. When he noted her hesitation he was confused until she spoke.
"I have nothing to sleep in, Yuki-san." She blushed and looked away. She looked up startled when he put one of his shirts into her hands.
"I promise not to look." With that he turned away from her and pretended not to noticed her as he prepared his bed for the night. Tohru quickly changed then jumped into bed.
"I'm done." She called. Yuki turned around and smiled at her.
On impulse he walked to her and planted a light kiss on her forehead not noticing her blush and whispered, "Sweet dreams, Honda-san." He was back on his side of the room in a moment and turning off the small lamp next to his bed plunging the room into darkness.
The next morning Yuki awoke to find Tohru already gone and his shirt neatly folded on the foot of his bed. He didn't need to roll onto his side to know that she had made the bed as well. Sighing he rolled toward the wall staring at it willing sleep to take him again. If there was one thing he hated, other then Kyo of course, it was mornings and having to wake up.
Tohru was in the kitchen trying to cook around an attentive Shigure, who of course wanted to know everything about what had happened the night before. He wanted to know if Yuki was gentle, she just blushed in result. Kyo, who was practicing outside had had enough of Shigure's perverted ways, stormed inside and beat the inu out into the dinning room. Still blushing Tohru continued trying to make breakfast for the rest of them. She could just make out Yuki moving around above her. She smiled. She had pretended to sleep until she could hear his even breathing. She then watched his relaxed slumber for a while before she too became to tired to stay awake. She could still recall the peaceful look that had settled on Yuki's features as he slept. She 'kyyya!', when she saw the small pillar of smoke rising from her pancakes.
Hatsuharu woke slowly unsure of where he was until he felt the body next to him shift. However, something still seemed off. At first he thought it was the usual pale colour of Tsuri's skin, but when he looked down to find her curled up against black and white coat. COAT!!! Somehow during the night she must have hugged him. Narrowing his eyes he sighed and laid his head back down.
* Poof! *
He heard a soft chuckle from beside him. Looking down he found a pair of whitening gray eyes. The changes, he thought to himself, the changes are starting already. She continued to keep eye contact while her arm lazily laid over his side.
"I see that I hugged you." She looked down to stare at his throat. "I'm sorry." It was his turn to chuckle.
"I don't mind." He muttered into her ear. "That is if you don't mind laying with me naked." She looked up at him again. Her eyes sparkled and her hand drifted lower on his hip.
"What do you think?" She said grinning up at him. So, she thought, the changes have started. I wonder if they others will take much notice. But the bigger question is why am I seeing overpowered?
