Haruwhite2black sits down, and starts to type
Someone of little importance walks into the room carrying a soda Hey Haru, whacha doin'?
What does it look like you egocentric maniac, I'm typing letters into words onto a word document onto a computer.
Sheesh, why are you so ticked?
Well, it could be the fact that you smell of lemon soda, or it could be the fact that half of my shirt is soaking wet and smells like lemon soda...
eyes get all big like Ritsu Sohma I'M SOORY I'M SOO SORRY FORGIVE ME I NEVER INTENDED TO DO THAT!
Haru blinks you realize you look like a fool to everyone who's watching you through that window.
person of little importance blinks, then cries (imitating Kagura) WAH HAH HAH you are soo mean haruuu
I'm busy, go away. Actually why don't you go get me some jelly buns...
OKAY!!! skips off
Finally...
Authors note: (I'm a girl just so all of you know, and I'm obsessed with Haru, as if you could not tell by my pen name...) HaruW2B: this takes place before episodes 23-26 or for those of you who are reading the Manga, Vol. 6 before they show Kyo's true form vol. 6 is not out yet, so go buy the Anime if you don't know what I'm talking about, Warning: You are bound to cry in these three episodes. Heck, I cried in episode 20 when Ayame thinks to himself (not exact) "but I fear that he'll reject me, just as I did him. When he reached out for me, the first time, and the last, with his quivering hand, and I just pushed him away."
What kind of curse?...
I walked down the dark path in the woods. I mean it's not like I had anything better to do anyways. It was about 10pm and I wasn't the least bit tired considering I'd slept in until 11am that morning. It was kind of cold, but nothing I wasn't used to, nothing I couldn't handle, you see I was different from many people. Okay, I take that back, I was different from any person I knew. My classmates all told me how cold and unfeeling I was towards everyone. I didn't care. Not in the least bit, but they didn't know how hurt I was, not being able to give anyone a hug. They didn't know what it was like to be cursed and not being able to tell anyone, not being able to understand it even.
I had one friend. It was a long time ago though. She was my best friend for a year or two. That is, she was until I told her.
"What do you mean you can't hold my little brother, don't you think he's cute?"
"Yes, but, I uh, I might um, I might accidentally drop him..."
"You're sitting down."
"Um, can I tell you something if you promise not to tell any one else, ever?
I can't understand the way she reacted. She shoved her brother into my arms. She didn't believe me. Not until she saw for herself that I wasn't lying.
"You weren't lying, were you?" She said staring at me blankly as if she was in a dream and she'd wake up any second now.
"No, no I wasn't" I answered her, and when I did she jumped back in disbelief.
"It, It, It, that thing, It's talking!" she yelled, and I cringed. I was not a 'thing' or an 'it' I was me, Kyoko. (No, this is not supposed to be Tohru's mother, just coincidence.)
I hated that memory. I hated all my memories like that. However, I never wanted to forget it, but for some reason I didn't know why I don't want to, I guess it would be easier. I then remembered a song I'd heard. "Man," I thought "not another song." I didn't mind singing, and it's not like there was any one to hear me either.
"...It makes me happy, inside my heart. All the memories I have are beautiful in my mind. ..." I stopped, it was two quiet off to my left. There weren't any crickets chirping. There should have been. "...But it doesn't fill the hunger deep inside my soul..." I wasn't scared, but I was worried. Something was over there, and weather I wanted to see it or not, my curiosity would always got the better of me. I guess that's part of the curse I bear, curiosity.
"Who's over there?" I said turning towards the shuffling of leaves.
"I'm sorry. I don't mean to frighten you, I..."
"I wasn't scared."
"Oh, um, well I'm sorry anyways. Who are you?"
I knew I'd seen this girl before, but I couldn't think where.
"Oh, you're the new girl in my class, class 2-D. I'm Tohru Honda. I guess I didn't introduce myself earlier, it's a pleasure to meet you." she said as she bowed.
"Kyoko, Kyoko Kahka."
"My mother's name was Kyoko..."
"I'm sorry."
"Huh?"
"You said 'was', so, she's not here anymore, right?"
"Oh, um, yes, 18 months ago. She was involved in a car crash."
"Oh, um, Tohru, what are you doing out here, at night?"
"Oh, well, I just got off of work, I wanted some extra hours. What are you doing out here?"
"Just taking a walk, besides I don't think my Aunt cares, she never said anything before about me going out, I think she's just too darn busy with her work."
"Oh, what does she do?"
"She's a publisher, and she takes her work so seriously, it's funny. Especially when one of her clients misses their deadlines, it's hilarious how she over reacts."
"Oh, Well I guess I'd better...
"Miss Honda!" I knew I'd seen this boy somewhere before, I just couldn't remember where. It seemed whenever I tried to remember him, I went blank. "Miss Honda, Where have you been, I, we were all worried about you." Then he looked at me.
"Oh, Yuki, I'm sorry to make you worry, but I stayed at work a bit later, and then I bumped into Kyoko Kahka. You remember her, don't you? She's the new girl in our class."
"Ah, yes, Kyoko, is it?" He said holding out his hand, and I grasped it to shake. "I'm Yuki Sohma. Where did you move from?
"Domino City." (Don't kill me for saying that Yu-Gi-Oh fans. Despite the fact I said that, however, this fan fic has nothing to do with y-g-o. Disclaimer applies)
"Oh, I've heard of that. When did you move here?" He looked so familiar like I'd seen him before a long time ago.
"Last week. I'm living with my aunt for the time being. I might just stay there. You see, my parents died when I was young, so I've been moved around between my family for a long time, and I think I like it here." And, I did, but, something didn't seem right. Or, was it, something was too right?
"Well," Yuki said turning to walk away, "It was nice meeting you. Maybe we'll see each other in school."
"Yes," Tohru said turning to follow him, "It would be nice to see you again."
Then they walked the direction Yuki came from. It was getting darker, so I decided to go back, besides, I'd told my aunt I would have been back ten minutes ago.
When I did get to my house I saw three cars in our drive way. Now normally I would see nothing wrong with this. One was my aunts, and normally she'd have her boss and a friend over for dinner. But, alas, today was not turning out to be such a normal day, and her boss didn't drive a police car.
I ran down the hill, I mean if you saw two police cars in your drive way and you had an aunt like mine and you were a bit late getting home, well, I only hope one could put two and two together.
I burst through the door, "Aunt Mii, Aunt Mii! It's okay, I'm not lost or kidnapped or anything else you may have thought! I just bumped into a friend and lost track of time."
She looked over at me, her face tear stained. "Kyoko, I was, I was SO WORRIED WAHHHHAHAHHAH." She then jumped up and gave me the biggest hug a person could give. "You had me so worried! I was frightened! I was scared! Don't you ever do that again!"
"I'm sorry Mii. It won't happen again"
"Well then," One of the policemen said standing up, "I guess our services are no longer needed here. Is this all, 'mam?
"Huh? Oh, yes I'm sorry to make you come all this way for nothing." Mii Said, not letting go of me.
The Police men walked out and started talking quietly, but not quiet enough for me not to hear, "Sheesh, think someone's a bit too over protective?"
Mii would not let go of me. "Um, Mii, air?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, Kyoko. Don't you ever, ever do that again. I have enough to worry about with my clients. I don't want you to be a new worry. Besides, weren't you saying that you liked it here, that you might like to stay?" Yup, that's all I felt like listening to. I mean, one can only hear so many speeches about how they should be more responsible, and really, who wants to listen to a crying woman?
And, when she finally did stop talking, I took it as a perfect opportunity to go to bed. "Mii, Can I go to bed now? I mean I'm really tired and all..."
"Yes, yes, but, Kyoko, Promise me you won't do that again."
I honestly didn't see the big deal. I was gone for ten extra minutes, but... "Alright Aunt Mii, alright."
(I own the main character and all her friends and the idea behind her. But not her aunt... you'll see)
