Chapter 2: Unknown Feelings And Dream
************************************************************************
"Huh. . .?" your eyes open slowly to find yourself laying on a bed, your visions flash slightly since you eyes have been closed for a long time. You force yourself to sit up, you feel anxious to know what in the world happened, what exactly that made you pass out?
Your ears pick up loud noise of people arguing at the same time, before you could comprehend what is around you and what you should do, the door slides open. Behind it is the people that you met before all of this happened, everyone are there in place. Yuki, Shigure, Tohru, Kyo and the blond boy as well.
"______ you're awake!" Tohru gives you a light hug as soon as she sees you up on the bed. "Tohru. . . what. . .happened. . .?" your voice seem to be reaching its way out as if you haven't speak for a long time. Tohru slowly lets go of you and look at you with sad eyes.
"Must you know about it ______?" her voice seems like a whisper. You nod, the anxious feeling to know not leaving you. She looks at the boys, telling them to leave quietly so she and you could be alone. They all agreed and turn to leave, shutting the door behind them, silent takes over before Tohru begins.
"_______, I didn't want to tell you. . . but since it came to this far. . ." she stops hesitantly, then continues, "My parents both died, my dad died when I was very young, my mom died in a car accident one year ago. At first my life was hard going and miserable, but when I met the Sohma family, it all changed. They gladly accepted me and let me live with them till now, that's how I came to be here."
"I see. . .I'm sorry Tohru. . ." you say as you lower your head. "No need to apologize, it's not the first time." She assures you, "But. . .what about just now? Why did Kyo disappear and the cat was on top of me the next minute?" you question further. She didn't answer you this time, instead, she looks away. . .
You place your hand on her arm, demanding for an answer, "Tohru, I have to know." You tell her. "_______, it's not a very good thing for you to know, but if you must. . .the Sohma family have a curse that pass down to generations for a long time, well. . . to simply put it, the curse isn't easy to bear, when any of the Sohma members are being hugged by the opposite gender, they'll turn into one of the Chinese zodiac animals. . ." she explains.
". . ." you are speechless now as your hand slips from her arm, are they real, what she is telling you? This is all too hard to believe, but after that encounter with Kyo, there was no denying. "Is it really true. . .? That's what's been going on around this family. . .?" you can barely even hear yourself speaking, but Tohru sure heard it and nods.
She grabs both your hands and look sadly into your eyes, this makes you feel nervous. "Tohru?" before you could say anything else, you notice something, tears. . . there were tears being hold back in her blue-green eyes. But why. . .?
"______, this doesn't come in a very good thing for both you and the Sohma family. The curse is a sacred mystery and is strictly forbidden for everyone else who isn't apart of the family to know. I know I'm not one of their family, but it's a very lucky thing that I'm able to stay the way I am now. But everyone else from that, if they find out about this, their memories must be erased. . ." she says as her grip on your hands tightens.
Nothing, absolutely nothing could escape your lips now. . .memories being erased. . . there's no way that's going to be easy for anyone. But now it had to this, you didn't have anything else to say in return, only fear is going into you, fear of what exactly. . . you aren't sure what you are afraid of, think about it, it might be good if you could forget this fateful night and go back to your normal life. But something just isn't right. . .
The door slid open once again and the boys appear in both of your views, all of them have serious looks on their faces. "I'm sorry miss _______, but everything miss Honda said is true. . . your memories of us must be erased. . ." Yuki says in a weak tone, he isn't even able to look at you.
"I understand. . ." you whisper. Silent takes over once again, this time longer, much longer. . . "Well maybe we could make another exception besides Tohru." A voice suddenly spoke up. All eyes turn to Shigure who is the owner of the voice, "Shigure, what are you talking about? Having Tohru is enough!" Kyo says.
"Calm down Kyo, I think we can put our trust in this girl, I mean you can't say Tohru is the only girl who is innocent, can you? Let it be for now, if anything is to happen, I'll be the one to blame, I'm sure I can handle it." Shigure finishes. All eyes are still on him but soon they look away, back at you.
Kyo lets out a heavy sigh in defeat and a small smile crosses Yuki's lips. "All right, we'll let her memories stay. But you better be serious about handling all this Shigure, no stepping back." Kyo gives Shigure a suspicious look. "You have nothing to worry about now miss ______, safe for now." Yuki says as he walks up to you with the smile staying there.
"Thank goodness!" Tohru hugs you once again with joy, you are now able to keep your memories yet along with the secret you've learned inside of you. You too are happy to be trusted by them, very happy. Tohru can't help but smiles continuously, "Well, now that it's all put aside, should we dig in for dinner?" she says with enthusiasm running through her. "Sure!" you say.
"Ok I'll go down first, be there fast ______!" is the last thing she leaves you with before she disappears into the hallway(or the stairs). As you try to stand up again, your knees felt weak, they didn't move for quite some time after all. You let out a soft gasp as you realize yourself slipping from balance.
Just when you shut your eyes before your body hit the floor, Yuki quickly throws his arms around you to prevent the fall, but as how it happened before, a puff of smoke you see now, the next thing is yourself hitting the floor, and. . .a mouse? "Yuki?" you ask snapping yourself out of the surprising encounter.
Before your eyes is a white small rat, it shakes its head a few times and look up at you. "Miss _____. . ." it speaks out, quite a familiar voice you might want to add. "Is it really you, Yuki?" you repeat your question, this time receiving a nod from the little rat. "I'm sorry you have to see me like this, it's just. . ." you cut him off, "Why are you apologizing? It's my fault I slipped. . . but you know, you look cute like that." You giggle teasingly as you scoop him up in your hands, holding him gently. (Sorry I had to do that, I can't help it, he looks so cute in his rat form!)
"Now what is that suppose to be miss ______?" he asks, looking at you funnily. You shake your head as you giggle a little more, "Oh nothing, don't worry about it." You say as you continue to carry him into the living room where Tohru and the others are.
Kyo, Shigure and the blond boy all turn their attention to you when you walk in. "Well what do we have here? Did the little Yuki transform again in front another girl?" Kyo asks mockingly. "Shut up, unless you want to be beaten up later." Yuki replies, still remaining in your hands. "What's that? Still cocky I see. . ." he was cut off by Shigure who is smiling weirdly, "Now Kyo, let's stop that and let ______ sit down, she wouldn't want to hold Yuki in her hands ALL the time now, would you _______?" he looks at you with his wide smile.
You blush at that remark and quickly reply, "Oh no, I don't mind, it's my fault he transformed!" you sit down the exact moment Tohru comes in. "Oh? Yuki what happened?" she asks. "Nothing miss Honda, can we switch our attention to something else?" Yuki looks annoyed. "I don't think I introduce you two yet, did I?" she asks the blond hair boy. "Nope." He shakes his head, with that same bright smile on, "_____, this is Momiji Sohma. Momiji, this is _______." She points at the both of you. "Nice to meet you." You say. "Same here! The pleasure is all mine! Wow you're very pretty you know that? I didn't get a chance to talk to you at first." Momiji says excitedly. "Oh thanks." You blush again.
***************************Later On*************************************
"Oh no!" you yell as you look outside. "What's wrong ______?" Tohru looks at you. "It's raining hard! How am I supposed to go home now??" you point out. "Oh yes, you wouldn't be able to walk in this even if you have an umbrella." Tohru puts her hand on her cheek. (By the way, this is after you guys finished your homework.)
"You can stay here for tonight if you want _______, I'm sure no one would mind." You look at her while hesitating, "What? I mean I've been asking a lot from them." You felt nervous of the idea. Shigure seems to have heard it and walks into your conversation, "Don't worry ______, Tohru here felt the same way when we first have her here. But it's really not that much trouble." He tells you.
"Well, I don't know. . ." you say looking at Tohru. "Miss _______." A gentle voice calls, your gaze turn to face the owner of the voice, Yuki. "You're welcome to stay miss _______, there's no trouble at all, we still have an extra room for you to sleep in." he says, this make you blush as you look at him.
Your eyes stay on him for a long time, something about him keeps you interested, something about him seems familiar. . .(You will get it later on in the story.) "Well, if you say so. . ." you reply, "Yay! Let's show you your room tonight shall we?" Tohru jumps up and drags you upstairs.
"Well Yuki you sure have charm for girls." Shigure says while walking back into his room. "Do I. . .?" Yuki suddenly whispers to himself.
****************************Upstairs************************************
The rain drops on the window glass creating the soft beating sound, making you feel more anxious. You stare outside as each drop beats against the glass and make its way down till it can't go any further. "______, I think it's time we should get to sleep." Tohru's voice wakes you.
"Oh right. . ." you turn the light off and have your head over the soft pillow, your eyes close the next minute and find yourself in dreamland. . .
***********************************Your Dream*************************
You don't know where you are, you have no idea why or how you are there. Forcing yourself forward towards the darkness, soon you find light flowing in. You gladly walk faster to get there, as you peek through the light, you see a big room. . . it wasn't crowded, it was quiet. . . creepily quiet. . .
"Akito. . ." your sense of hearing picks up something, your eyes look up to face a man with dark hair laying on the ground on the other end of the room. "What?" the guy asks, his voice sounds a little stern. "Akito, that was a long time ago. The girl doesn't have any memories of you, she won't do anything to you, isn't that what you wanted?" you look back the previous one who talked before, it was another tall guy, a few bangs covered one of his eyes, he was sitting in front of the guy who was laying down.
"What makes you think that she won't do anything? I once was damaged by her, and it's all possible she could do it again. . . but I won't let her. . . I won't let her have her way this time. . . I'll make sure of it. . ." come the reply in a low angry tone. All you could make out of the guy who is lying down is that he has dark hair that looks similar to Yuki's, but that was all besides the creepy voice he has. . .
***************************End Of Dream********************************
"______?______?"you awoke with Tohru looking down at you, her eyes have a slight hint of worry. "What?" you ask more like to yourself than to her while sitting up. "You were turning and tossing a lot, what dream did you have anyway?" she questions.
"It's nothing really, I guess it's just because I'm not used to sleep here that's all." You say with a small smile, trying to distract her. "Oh. . . I see. . . well I hope you don't feel uncomfortable when you go back to sleep." She tells you as she walks back to her bed, you just nod.
As you lay back down and put your hand on your forehead, a bit startled by that dream, what was it about? And who were those people you saw? ~~~~~ Somewhere in the shadows neither you or Tohru have noticed but in one of the corners, someone stands leaning against the wall, watching you. . .
****************************End Of Chapter 2****************************
Chapter 2 is finished! I'm so sorry if it didn't satisfy you, I was writing it in a rush and I had writer blocks several times, glad that's over. Anyway, please review! I don't really feel like writing it if I don't get many reviews. . . T_T but you don't have to if you don't want to.
