Chapter 3-The kill...
Disclaimer-I still don't own them.
So, I spend my life in a hospital on the verge of death. Fun life, right? I met the Animorphs and gained the ability to morph. I thought my illness was gone. Think again. I ended up in America after being saved by Kyo Sohma. The Sohmas are cursed. Tohru Honda is a Chi. I had one of my breathing problems, so they got Hatori to be my doctor. He knows that I know about the curse and he wants to take away my memories. They're mine, so I can decide what to do with them! I want to keep my thoughts! Now, if I can convince this Akito person that I am trustworthy, Hatori won't take my memory.
"Are we there yet?" I asked, trying to be annoying.
"Actually, we are," Hatori replied.
"Really? That's cool," I said.
We walked in silence to a room. This room sent chills down my spine from just looking at the door. I took a deep breath and entered. There was a man sitting by the window, holding a bird on his finger. It flew off as I entered. The man looked at me, "Who are you?"
"My name is Sarah..."
Hatori entered, "She has found out about the curse."
Akito looked at me, "Then take away her memories. Why did you have to disrupt me with this?"
Hatori said, "She... broke my leg."
Akito laughed, "You're weak, Hatori."
I said, "No, he isn't. I bit he leg and the bone crumbled."
"You broke his leg with your teeth?"
I smiled innocently. Hatori said, "She became a lion!"
"Leopard," I corrected, "Leopards and lions are very different."
Akito said, "Let me get this straight. You found out about the curse and Hatori tried to take your memories so you became a leopard and bit his leg?"
"Basically," I said.
Then, the phone rang. Hatori answered it, "Hello."
"Is Sarah there?"
"How did you know?"
"Put her on."
Hatori said, "It's for... Sarah."
I went to the phone, "Hello."
"Hello, Sarah."
"Erik! How are you?"
"I'm fine, but that's not why I'm calling. You're safety is important. Akito would kill you with his own two hands if he got the chance. You have to get out of there."
"Look, I'm glad you care, but I can take care of myself."
I slammed the phone down. I said to no one in general, "Tohru is so dead!"
"Why?" Akito asked.
"She told Erik where I would be!"
"Who's he? An ex?" Hatori asked.
"As if! I've never had a boyfriend in my entire life."
Akito said, "Give me one good reason why you should leave here with your memories intact?"
"That," I said, pointing to the bear that had just burst into the room.
Akito ran to the other side of the room and hid behind Hatori, "Why are wild animals breaking into my house?"
It started to walk toward us. I morphed leopard. Before the morph was complete, the bear started to attack me. My half formed claws swatted at its eyes. I finished morphing and we were locked in a battle. I used my superior human intellect to defeat the creature swiftly. When it lay dead, I morphed human and kicked the carcass. I said, "I have a good reason to keep my memories. I just saved your butts."
Akito stopped cowering behind Hatori and walked up to me, his hand extended. I was skeptical of weather he wanted to shake my hand or try to hurt me. He ended up hugging me. I pushed him away, "What are you doing?"
He didn't answer. Instead, the head of the house said, "You may keep your memories. Just don't tell anyone about us and... get rid of that beast."
I dragged the bear carcass out of the room and down the hall. Hatori followed at a save distance. We got outside and we ran into a little boy. I let go of the bear, "Would you move out of the way. I need to dispose of this."
"Is that a bear?"
"It was."
"What did you do to it?"
"I mauled it."
"Who are you?"
"I'm Sarah."
"That's a funny name! I'm Momiji!"
"Mo...mi...ji..."
Hatori said, "Momiji, I can see you want to hug her. Go ahead."
Momiji hugged me and I found myself next to a rabbit. The rabbit said, "Sarah gave Momiji a hug!"
Another boy appeared, "Put a sock in it, rabbit."
"WAH! Haru's being mean!"
I watched as a mad boy with black and white hair chased a rabbit. Hatori said, "We should get away now. Hatsaharu just turned black."
I grabbed the carcass and began dragging it further. After a while, I bumped into another man, erm... monkey. It said, "I am SO sorry! Please forgive me! No, I don't deserve your forgiveness!"
It ran away, taking its clothes with it. Hatori said, "That's Ritsu."
I continued dragging my kill. I passed a boy and a girl, Hiro, the sheep, and Kisa, the tiger. Then, there was the snake, Ayame. Ayame just happens to be Yuki's older brother. Then, a girl ran by, "Kyo, where are you, my love?"
Hatori told me that she is Kagura. I counted on my fingers, "Um... that's... eleven cursed people... so one more?"
"Two," Hatori corrected, "The cat is not in the Zodiac, but Kyo is cursed as it, anyway."
"Oh," I said.
Hatori asked, "Do you know what you are?"
I thought, "Um... I figured this out already... wait a minute... Tiger!"
"I see," he said.
We were finally outside. There was a big trash can and I lifted the bear, which was luckily small for a bear, probably not much more than a cub, into the trash. I laughed, "Dragging it all the way to the trash was harder than killing it."
Hatori drove me back to Shigure's house. I entered and they all said, "You're alive!"
I laughed, "Did you think that I'd get killed by a bear? As if!"
Shigure asked, "What does a bear have to do with anything?"
Hatori said, "When she met Akito, a bear burst into his room."
I said, "It's hard to drag a bear to the trashcan!"
Tohru asked, "Did Erik get a hold of you?"
"Yeah, I hung up on him, though."
A/N-Sorry this chapter is shorter than the others. ((insert Ritsu apologizing)) Luckily, the next chapter should be really good. Another plus is that I don't have writer's block... yet.
