Chapter 5: More than Fear
Hatori looked at the door. This was it, this is the room. He let one shaky breath out. Why was he so nervous? Did he actually believed what was said about this room? He remembered when Shigure, Ayame and himself heard of the room's tale...
~" In this room, one of the first cursed Sohma killed himself inside. He killed himself unable to take the curse. For what reasons, it is unknown to us-- unless you walk inside."~
They would joke about the room. Ayame would dance around infront of it when they were younger and Shigure would make dares who'd open it up. In the end-- they'd back down saying they had something more fun in mind in their own room. Hatori shuddered and felt ashamed that his best friends were such idiots.
He reached towards the door, " Just slide it open." He told himself.
-=-
Hana looked outside the window, she's been trying so hard to find Tohru. But, it was always the same. Not a spark of her denpa waves. She just couldn't believe that she was gone. She was somewhere. But gone.
Gone where?
"OI! DENPA! Where's Tohru-san now?" A voice cackled behind her. Hana didn't need to look who it was.
Hana remained quiet, Minami didn't need to know-- none of Sohma Yuki's rabid fan girls needed to know.
Minami cocked her head and laughed, " Well, where ever she is, I'm glad she's not here! Yuki's free of her evilness now!" She announced and left laughing her head off with the rest of the club members.
Hana's expression were unreadable, but underneath her void demeanor was a storm of emotions jumbled up together. Her best friend was gone, and Arisa. She's been absent quite often. She sighed, and wrote down their homework.
'Tohru-kun will want her homework once she comes back..' She thought unsure of her belief.
-=-
Shigure peeked through the corridor and saw Hatori stare at a door. He looked closer..it was the door! He walked over where Hatori stood, " Why are you staring at the door?" He asked him. Hatori's head jereked up a little and his eyes became focused again.
" Shigure? What are you doing here?" He asked turning his head towards Shigure.
Shigure smiled, "But of course Ha'ri, visiting my beloved family!" He said. Hatori didn't believe it, 'I think I hear his editor crying from here.' Hatori thought and shook his head.
"Well, what are you doing infront of this door?" Shigure asked.
"I was just thinking. That's all." He replied.
"You, Ha'ri, don't usually stand and stare at a door while you're thinking." Shigure pointed out.
Touché.
"Do you remember what they used to say about it?" He asked Shigure.
"Of course! Why..?"
"It always made me wonder if there were answers about our curse here." Hatori said, "But, I've never opened this door. Now, I want to."
Shigure looked at his friend, "So you think there are some aswers here about why--"
"Yes.."
Silence hung between them until Shigure spoke up, "So what'll it be Ha'ri? Open it and find whatever it is that lie behind the door or keep it closed until forever?"
Hatori put his arm out for the fifth time, he managed a grin, "I'm not a sixteen year old anymore Shigure." He said as he remembered the 'Old Days'. Shigure smiled and looked inside as Hatori opened the door.
-=-
Tohru looked around her, what was a girl to do? Wander around like a lost soul? The thought made her smile, 'I am a wandering soul.'
'It's been days... weeks at most that I've been here. Being alone here with constant visits of Akito.' She shuddered, he gave her the creeps. Everytime he came here, it was either he was saying something about death and weaknesses-- but whenever she looked at him, when she was brave enough, she saw that his eyes were tired. Tired of what-- she didn't know.
She closed her eyes and thought of their school, it was lunch break. Tohru drifted towards a window where Hana was, but where was Uo?
-=-
Uo sat up from her bed, she looked at a picture with Tohru, Hanajima, and herself smiling. 'All we knew then was a bit of pain, and now we get the full blow of it.' She thought. Tears were threatening to be spilled once more.
She shook her head, "NO!" She said and dressed up ready to drive around. The only way she relieved her stress about the whole situation.
-=-
Hana lifted her head from the paper, "Tohru-kun?" She whispered. She felt her! It was a weak denpa signal but she was here!
Tohru smiled, "HANA-CHAN!" She called out. Hana saw her! She looked yet again, Hana wasn't staring at her she was looking around. Her spirit fell, but atleast she knew she was there.
Hana blinked, "Tohru-kun? Where are you? Why did your signals suddenly drop?" She asked quietly.
Tohru looked at Hana, "You can't hear me can you? I'm here, don't worry...I just don't know how to get out of 'here'.."
Tohru drifted away, knowing that if she stayed too long it would make her heart ache that her friend couldn't see her. She wanted to go back, to the dark and empty void, where it was better than trying to communicate with people who seemed blind.
"She disappeared," Hana said and concentrated, "She's gone.."
-=-
Kyo walked towards Shigure's house, it was time for him to go back. He told his Father already. Kazuma had smiled at him saying that this was the right way.
'What way?' Kyo asked himself.
He walked down the path, finding that he was getting butterflies in his stomach like he was nervous. He felt like something was going to happen, something bad. Kyo shuddered, "Whatever, I might be tired." He told himself. But, it didn't work, he still felt like something was going to happen. Happen soon.
-=-
Shigure walked in before Hatori, the room was dusty. Well, he'd expected that, servants were terrified of this place. So was her, but, Hatori's sudden notion got his curiousity stirred up. He looked aroud the room. There were cobwebs at almost every corner, a few boxes here and there, the room was dark, and a golden box?
He walked towards the windows first and opened it, the bright sunlight welcomed him. He closed his eyes and breathed in the crisp autumn smell. Shigure slowly opened his eyes, it was magnificent! It was a beautiful garden! There were flowers blooming, bushes swaying, but the one that enthralled him the most was the two lily trees beside each other...
-=-
"School's over." Uo said to herself as she hopped on her car. She took a stroll around the park for a while and decided to go home.
She put on her seatbelt and started the car. As she was driving she thought about Tohru, 'Baka! Baka! You never said goodbye to us!' She thought and drove faster.
-=-
Tohru was leaving the image behind when she saw Yuki just coming out of the school. 'Must be a student council meeting.' She thought. Tohru stopped and looked at him. He looked so worned out. His eyes were filled with emotions he can't express. He looked up like he saw her but then crossed the street...
-=-
Hatori looked at the golden box, "Odd how this can be here." He said to Shigure. Shigure walked over and nodded.
Hatori brushed aside some dust and opened it, he looked at it rather strangely, "A ribbon? Lily petals? And--"
"A journal." Shigure said and took the small book from the box. He flipped through it while reading some entries.
"This belonged to..belonged to.." Shigure said trying to read the handwriting. Hatori bent over and read it, "I think it's, 'Sohma Yukito.'"
"Yeah I knew that!" Shigure said and while flipping through pages found something shocking. His eyes went wide and dropped the book. He looked at Hatori who had been reading, too. Hatori's face was expressionless, but shocked like never before.
They found the entry of the day they were cursed...
-=-
Uo shook of her tears, "Tohru! Why did you leave us? Leave me?!" She yelled to herself, she lost control of the wheel. Uo panicked and tried to use the brake, but the car's speed was to fast. She screamed as she saw someone cross the street...
-=-
Yuki took one step, 'I wonder what she's doing now?' He found himself thinking. He crossed the street then suddenly a speeding car was at sight heading towards him. His pupils dilated..
Tohru's eyes widened, 'UO?!?!' She thought as she saw the car, then at Yuki. It was more than fear, this emotion she felt. Oh, so much greater, "YUUUUUUUUUUKIIIIIII!"
