Chapter 2: It Starts
The girl awoke to the light of the sun beaming into her face. She moaned and turned over. She cracked her eyes, and then the memories of yesterday flooded into her mind. The Kaidens, her attack, and the man who saw it all. She sat up and a sick feeling came from her stomach as it growled. "Be careful." A warm, yet stern voice said. "You injured yourself pretty badly. I treated you as best I could." She turned around to find the man, who she saw yesterday, sitting with a tray of food for her. He was tall, with deep green hair. His left eyes was covered with silky locks of his hair. She stared into his strange eyes. Feeling the loneliness, sorrow, and courage in his soul. She didn't say anything, but only looked down at her hands. She was dressed in different clothes. Not only that but she was clean, and her arm was wrapped in a bandage.
Hatori took in the sight of this strange young child. Her silvery hair was very long and thick. She had a thin figure, and her skin was like pristine ivory. Her eyes were a brilliant blue-grey. The eyes of one who held a great secret, or burden. "I'm Hatori Sohma. I'm the family doctor. I've checked over you wounds, and they don't seem too serious except for the deep gash on you arm." Hatori didn't know what to ask her now. She'd been chased by birds, fallen out of the sky, and used a strange power to destroy them. She definitely wasn't an average teenager. He gave her the tray of food, and urged her on to eat. Hesitantly she took the tray and began eating. "Do you mind if I ask some questions?" Hatori said in his usual professional tone of voice. She didn't answer but silently ate. "Ok..Would you tell me your name?"Hatori said a little louder than before. She placed her spoon back on the tray and looked Hatori straight in the eyes. In a quiet, enchanting voice she replied, "I have no name......but if you must call me something, call me..umm...Phillia." Hatori's expression changed, but only for a moment. "Alright. Ms. Phillia where do you come from? Who are your parents?" Phillia looked back at her food. "I come from far away, and my parents are dead." Hatori lowered his eyes. "I'm sorry to hear that." "Don't be, they didn't love me anyway. They abandoned me and that's all there is to it." Phillia finished her food, and shoved the tray back at Hatori. Then she did something that he was not expecting. She smiled a sweet and sincere smile. He gazed at her pretty face, then smiled back. He gathered the empty dishes and stood up to leave. "Wait! I have some questions too, Hatori." She grabbed his pant leg and tugged on them him to sit. "Where am I?" "You're at the Sohma estate, in my house. I still have to tell Akito about you. For now you can stay here until you have contacted some family to return to. Right now you're too weak to be moving around, so just lie down and rest." "Who's Akito?" "He's the head of the family, and makes all the decisions. He'll want to know of a stranger's arrival." She didn't say anything else, and let go of his pant leg. "Just one more thing Hatori..." "Yes?" "Do have a bathroom? I really need to go." Hatori smiled and told her where to go.
After she did her business she stared at herself in the mirror while washing her hands. Taking notice of her hair and eyes. All her cuts on her face had healed already. "I'm surprised Mr. Hatori didn't ask anything about my abilities or wings. I'm glad he didn't." Phillia said to herself. She forced a smile on her face and dried her hands. As she reached for the doorknob to return to her room, when she heard a faint voice in her head. It was quiet, but it was deep and cruel. Phillia knew who it was. "Oh my little Phillia....where are you? You can't hide from me Phillia." Phillia dropped to her knees, and covered her ears. "No..get out Beeru! I'm not yours! Leave me alone!" She saw a glimpse of his face in her head. Those deep black eyes tearing into her soul. His long blonde hair tied back, and his rough hands reaching for her neck. She didn't scream, but her breathing became short and raspy. She swung open the door ran out of the bathroom full speed. She turned the corner and ran right into a little blond boy. "Oh my gosh I'm so sorry! Are you alright? You're not hurt?" The little boy looked up and laughed. "No I'm fine! I'm guessing you the girl that Hari found. Right?" She looked puzzled. "Hatori, we call him Hari for short. I'm Momiji Sohma!" "Nice to meet you I'm umm...Phillia." She stuck out her hand to shake his. "What's wrong? You look pale and your sweating. You should go rest." Phillia shook her head. She smiled and helped Momiji up, then continued on her way. "She's interesting. I think I need to tell this to Hari." He watched Phillia till she disappeared into her room. Then he bounded off to Hatori's office. "Hari! Hari! I met Phillia! And you know what else?" Hatori gave him an emotionless look. "She ran right into me and I didn't transform!" This got Hatori's attention. He gave Momiji a questioning look. "Are you sure?" Hatori asked. "Yes sir. She slammed right into my chest and all I did was fall backwards. I didn't turn into a rabbit!" Hatori looked away from the small ball of energy and gazed outside his window.
This is strange. I wonder why this could be. I will have to tell Akito.
Hatori then remembered something else Momiji said. "Why was she running?" Momiji, who was playing with one of the trinkets in the office looked up and said, "I'm not sure I didn't ask. I was just excited to meet her, and the fact that I didn't change got me even more excited." Hatori closed his eyes and thought. After a long silent moment he left the office. "Oh Hari! I'm going over to Shigure's house ok!" Hatori didn't say anything and continued walking. He thought about what Momiji said, also the image of Phillia's first smile appeared in his head. He didn't know why but for some reason she reminded him of Kana. He felt the need to protect Phillia all of a sudden. He didn't know why, but when he gazed into her bright blue-grey eyes, something in his heart told him that she was scared and alone, that she needed someone to be there. His pace quickened, as he hurried to her room.
Ok I don't know if that was as good as I wanted it to be. But Now things get better. She will meet Akito dun dun dun! Wonder what he'll do.
