Chapter ELEVEN - Tohru

Tohru nearly dropped all of her belongings down to the ground at the site of the castle that stood before her. Her mouth dropped open slightly and she gulped at the monstrosity that stared down at her. A tug was felt on the sleeve of her cotton shirt, startling her, and she looked to her side to see Yuki giving her a warm smile. He then escorted her through the large double doors that were blocked by two burly men with swords perched in their left hands. Tohru smiled nervously at them and they swiftly bowed down to her while she was pulled through the doors and into a gigantic room that sparkled in just about every corner. The floors were so shiny, that she could see her own reflection when she looked down at it, and the celiings were so high, that it would have to take about a hundred ladders to reach the apex of the castle. Tohru gulped and gripped her luggage straps between her fingers, unable to contain the bubbling feelings of homesickness bounce across her.

This is home... right?

It sure didn't feel like home to her though...

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

Weeks passed, and each passing day only added an extra ache to Tohru's struggling heart, but she didn't do anything about the internal struggle, because she was trying her best to be bright and happy in her home. She sat down on her satin white bed sheets and picked up the teddy bear that sat wedged between her gigantic double pillows, staring down at its dulling fur. She petted its head and fragments of her and Kyo on the ferris wheel seeped into her mind, making her feel warm inside. She hugged the bear close to her heart and was startled when she heard three terse knocks echo through her large room. She put the teddy bear back in its rightful place and cleared her throat, calling out,

"Please come in!"

The door opened slowly and Yuki's head popped in as he asked politely,

"Honda-san? May I come in?"

Tohru nodded with a smile and answered,

"Of course!"

Yuki's cheeks were flushed and he looked nervous as he awkwardly took a seat next to her on the satin sheets. He looked at her with a sideways glance and then boldly took her hands into his, declaring,

"Hondasan... you must know that I love you right?"

Tohru's pupils dilated and she smiled apprehensively at him, stuttering back,

"Um.. um... I..."

He interrupted her nervous behavior and held her hands tighter in his grip, filling her in on his news,

"So... I have arranged for us to get married tomorrow! Properly this time."

She squirmed out of his grasp and exclaimed with surprise,

"Wh-What?! This is all too soon... and.. and.."

Yuki took her hand again, making her feel no longer warm,

"Honda-san... we've known each other for so long though."

She looked down in guilt and replied,

"I don't have any memories of you though... not anymore, and I'm so so sorry about that."

Yuki protested,

"But... we must be married soon, because you need a king by your side!"

She finally protested back with tearful eyes,

"Yuki-kun, I can't marry you because... I don't... I don't love you in that way! I see you as a good friend..."

His violet eyes clouded with darkness and he dropped her hand with a plop as he got up to go to the door, replying nonchalantly,

"You will love me. I'm sure of it, because you did before and you will learn to again. I will make you remember our love, I promise."

He then walked out of the room, shutting the door behind him, leaving Tohru sitting on her bed with her mouth hanging open.

How do I get out of this one?

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

The next morning Tohru tried to sneak out of the castle to figure something out, but the maids caught her and immediately began to fuss over her dress, hair and make up. Tohru tried to argue back, but that wasn't part of her naturem, so she limply let them dress her up in the fancy wedding dress. After they left, she looked into the full length mirror, seeing her unhappy face for the first time that morning. She then glanced at her dresser to see a picture of her, Kyo and his mother all standing together, and Kyo was giving Tohru bunny ears. She felt a tear slip down from her eye when she saw how happy she was in that picture and how miserable she looked at this moment on her second wedding day.

I don't belong here... this isn't my home anymore!

She looked at the picture once more and courage filled her heart as she finally knew what to do.

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

Yuki was standing at the altar, and tapping his foot impatiently on the sleek red carpet. He sighed loudly and clenched his teeth when he saw two guards rushing up to him,

"Sir! We have terrible news."

Yuki grabbed his shoulders and shook him urgently,

"Where is she?!"

"She's.. she's gone! One of the men saw her running towards the spaceship chamber sir Yuki!"

Yuki pushed him backwards and yelled out with frustration,

"What are you doing here then?! Get her!"

He saluted at Yuki shortly and then screamed out,

"Roger!"

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

Tohru could hear the pounding footsteps a few feet away from her but she continued to run towards a vacant spaceship, holding tightly onto the train of her wedding dress. She wasn't going to give up. She was sweating as she jammed herself into a empty ship and started to panic when she saw the guards closing in on her,

Which button do I press?!!

She stared frantically at all the different buttons that were blinking in front of her so then she just banged her hands down on all of the buttons, not knowing which one started the ship. After banging down on most of them the ship started to jerk forward and Tohru grimaced when the men started to bang on the window. She shakily put her seatbelt on and blasted off into outerspace, leaving everything behind. She could only hear the faint screams of the guards yelling for her to come back.
