Chapter EIGHT - Past PART ONE

Planet Hikari, a small planet with an amorous atmosphere, but a tragic end to its story...

The story of this tiny planet all began with a princess named Honda Tohru who was sitting in tranquility at the palace gardens. She was picking relentlessly at the pink and white flowers that had just bloomed up from the grass on that bright spring morning. Tohru turned her head when she heard someone approaching towards her and smiled when she saw that person was her father, the king of Planet Hikari. She greeted him with elation,

"Good morning, daddy."

The king squatted down next to his little girl, who was about sixteen by then, and lifted her chin up as smiled and said with a sparkle in his small brown eyes,

"I have wonderful news for you Tohru-chan."

Tohru's childish doe eyes brightened up as she dropped the flowers that were in her hands and jumped up to exclaim with a burst of energy,

"Oh! What is it daddy?"

The king took her by the hand with a smile and led her back inside the castle, weaving her through the long hallways and into the throne where she saw a small boy who was about the same age as her standing in the middle of the red carpeted floor. He had lavendar hair and amazing purple eyes that were a bit too big for his face, to sum it up, he was a very elegant young man with his prim and proper white suit. The king leaned over to Tohru and whispered in her ear,

"I've found the man of your dreams for you."

Tohru's eyes widened and she felt her heart twist in twenty directions as she nervously cast a glance at her mother, the queen, who was nodding with approval at the beautiful man who was standing just a few feet from her. Tohru didn't want to refuse or hurt her parent's feelings so she slowly inched towards Yuki with a small smile pasted on her pale pink lips. He smiled back with his perfect white teeth and bowed down politely,

"It is an honor to meet you, princess."

He lifted his head up and took her hand in his, bringing it to his mouth to leave a light kiss on the back of her hand. She blushed at his romantic gesture and looked nervously again at her parents. The king looked at the both of them for a moment and then rushed to where the two were standing, booming out,

"You two kids should go outside for a little walk, don't you think?"

The queen agreed and said,

"Yes, yes, that'd be a wonderful idea. Run along now."

Tohru felt her face flush as the king literally pushed the two of them outside to where they began to walk in a slow pace together along the road. It was silent at first, so Tohru asked diffidently,

"Umm, may I ask of your name?"

The boy smiled charmingly at her and introduced himself formally,

"My name is Sohma Yuki, Miss Honda."

Tohru blushed at his extreme formality and continued to walk with him along the brick road of the palace, in silence. She then felt a hand slip into hers and she looked down to her left, seeing that her pale and petite hand was covered by his delicate fingers. She blushed to a crimson color, but didn't reject him by slipping out of his grasp. Instead, they continued to walk in peace, hand in hand down the stone brick road.

-----------------------------------------

Two weeks later

"So, what do you think of him?"

Tohru thoughtfully looked up at her father who was looking very excited at that moment, so she answered back as brightly as she could,

"He's a wonderful boy. I'm glad to have met him."

"That's great! Now that I know that, I have even bigger news for you!"

Tohru felt her pupils dilate as she stuttered out,

"B-bigger?"

Her father nodded quickly and raised his fist as he announced,

"You're getting married!"

It felt like time froze for a few seconds, because Tohru stopped moving completely once those words were uttered from her father's mouth. The news had hit her like a ton of bricks to the head and when she found the power to speak again she squeaked out,

"M-Married?"

"Aren't you just ecstatic? I am arranging it for tomorrow night, so get a good night of sleep, Tohru-chan."

HIs smile was so big, and Tohru didn't want to make that smile fade away so she plastered a smile onto her face as she reluctantly said,

"Good night, daddy."

The door banged shut, leaving Tohru feeling empty inside, trying to let the positivity of the situation sink in,

Maybe marrying Yuki-kun won't be too bad... after all, he is a fine young man.

---------------------------------------------

Everything felt like it was going so rapidly the next morning, because once she got up from her bed, the maids nearly dragged her off of the bed and began to pull and brush at her long brown hair vigorously. Tohru yawned, groggily looking at herself in the full length mirror in front of her, and before she knew it, she went from wearing her nightgown to a beautiful wedding dress. Next, she felt her hair being braided and swept into a fancy updo with lacy ribbons in the back for a finishing touch. Powder diffused through the air as the maids puffed it all over her face, making Tohru cough frequently as the powder particles flew up her nose and into her mouth. She grimaced when they plucked her eyebrows, leaving a stinging sensation on her now red skin. Then the ladies took out about a million little tools, puttin on all sorts of makeup onto Tohru's eyes, lips, and skin. She was extremely relieved when they finally finished everything, from head to toe. She held her breath in anticipation and turned around to stare at her appearance in the full lenght mirror. Instantly, her mouth dropped wide open because she wasn't seeing herself in the mirror, she saw another woman standing there, a stunning version of her. She couldn't believe how different she looked right now as she touched the smooth fabric of the wedding dress with her palm. She couldn't look at herself for too long though, because the violins, cellos, and flutes filled the air with its wonderful music. Tohru took a few deep breaths before stepping away from the mirror, feeling queasy in the stomach all of the sudden. She willed herself to stop being so apprehensive by telling herself repeatedly,

You can do this, you can do this, you can do this!

The maids egged her on by congratulating her, and then with a few more steps, she walked through the huge double doors, leading to the main room where she saw that all eyes were on her. She gulped while placing the veil over her head, walking slowly down the aisle to the man who was waiting at the altar for her wearing a huge perfect smile on his face. Then the moment was ruined. The music was interrupted by a huge explosion that caused a large commotion once Tohru stepped up at the altar. She shrieked loudly at the sudden noise and shake of the ground. She felt her teeth clench together and her heart rate speed up when she saw the wall nearby burst into a glorious orange flame. The king and queen shot up from their seats, surveying the area to see soldiers attacking from a far distance, marching closer to them with guns and explosives held in their hands.

"Not now! They're attacking now?!"

The king yelled out for evacuation and ordered his soldiers that were standing by to get ready for a full out attack on their mortal enemies from another planet nearby them. They had always hated each other, constantly having wars, but this was the most sudden one, a one that they had not been prepared for. Tohru was so shocked by all of the events flashing before her shining eyes, and before she could look around for her parents, two burly men grabbed her forcefully by the arms. She exclaimed loudly,

"Where are you taking me?!! Please let go!!"

There was so many explosions and chaos around her as the men silently dragged her back into the palace, leading her straight to the room where all of the emergency spacepods were kept. The soldiers shot her a sympathetic look and stated,

"I'm sorry princess, but the king has ordered for us to get you off this planet immediately. He fears for your life."

Tohru struggled from their grip and cried out desperately,

"Wait!! I can't go, my parents are in trouble!! Please let me help them!!"

They both shook their heads and stuffed her into the pod, shutting the door tightly as they called out,

"We're terribly sorry... but these are orders."

Tohru felt the tears stream down her cheeks as she banged furiously on the little window at the front of the little space pod and she screeched loudly when she was sent off, flying through outer space, heading straight for planet Earth. Tohru felt faint and sick as she stumbled backwards into the little black seat that was located in the middle of the tiny space pod, trying her best to regain consciousness. Finally, she collapsed into the hard chair, squinting at all of the buttons that were blurring in front of her, she tried to focus but her heavy eyelids closed by themselves, causing Tohru to immediately black out. She didn't even wake up when she came crashing through the black skies of Tokyo, where her spaceship began to deteriorate from all of the pressure from the foreign atmosphere, and soon the pod shattered into minuscule pieces into an old alleyway, sending her flying onto the gravelly ground, headfirst.

And so... the new story began.
