The rest of the day went by fast, as usual. When she went to her locker the boy was standing next to her locker. He looked like he was waiting for someone.
'Hmm, weird,' Saru thought.
She walked up to her locker. The boy looked at her and smiled.
"Hey, yesterday I didn't quit catch your name," the boy claimed.
Saru opened her locker and looked at the boy. Then she said, "Saru Neeka,"
When she closed her locker and walked off, he followed her. He smiled, "Do you want to go out some time?"
"No," Saru stated continuing to walk.
"What! I thought you were hitting on me yesterday," the boy claimed still following her.
"No, I just plainly hate dogs," Saru stated walking over to Momiji.
Saru walked off with Momiji.
"I need to pick up some stuff from the Sohma Estate," Momiji claimed as they walked.
Saru nodded and they walked to the Sohma Estates. She walked him to his hut. When she turned around Hatori-Kun was there.
"Akito needs to talk to you," Hatori stated.
Saru followed him to Akito's hut. He opened the door for her and she walked in. Akito was standing up and looking at Saru.
"Sit," Akito ordered. Saru sat and Akito continued, "Spit out the gum,"
"What!" Saru asked getting up.
"You heard me. I do not allow gum chewing in the Sohma Family Estate," Akito informed.
"Then I'll leave," Saru said heading to the door, she grabbed it, but it was locked.
"Spit out the gum," Akito ordered.
"You know I can't," Saru informed.
"Do it!" Akito yelled.
Saru shook her head and Akito walked up to her and grabbed her head. He made it so she had to open her mouth. He took out her gum, grabbed her packet of gum and threw it out a window. He let go and Saru tried to get out, but it was no use. She started to shake and as she did she started to transform. Soon, she was a full grown, vicious, black panther. Saru rammed into the door and broke it open. Akito looked at her and smiled. Hatori watched Saru. His heart sunk because he knew Saru couldn't control it. Saru ran down the path.
"Sohma family, get it. Or it'll kill everyone," Akito yelled.
Everyone ran out of their houses and started to attack her. Saru fought back and attacked the people. She knocked a few people down. When she started to get really angry, she transformed into a two legged, hideous, black panther. She started to attack everyone. When Momiji came out, he witnessed a horrid scene.
"Momiji!" Akito yelled. Momiji looked at Akito and Akito continued, "Is this what your falling in love with?"
"Saru?" Momiji whispered.
"Yes, it's Saru," Akito yelled.
Saru stopped attacking everyone and looked at Momiji. He could see the hurt in her eyes. Saru ran off, and jumped over the fence. Hatori looked at, then got up, and followed. Hatori followed her to the gardens. When she finally stopped, she was lying on the ground.
"Go get a blanket," Hatori ordered.
Yuki ran, got a blanket, and handed it to Hatori. He took it and walked up to Saru. Saru growled as he approached, but Hatori continued on. Then she got up and stepped back away from him. He could tell she had tears in her eyes.
"Saru, you're away from them. You can calm down now," Hatori claimed in a calm voice.
Saru growled some more, but then she started to settle down. She fell to the ground crying. Hatori ran to her with the blanket and hugged her. Saru transformed back into her normal self. Hatori held her as she cried.
"It's okay," Hatori said holding on to her head.
"I hurt my own family," Saru cried.
"It'll be okay," Hatori claimed.
"I didn't have enough control to subdue it," Saru cried.
"I would be amazed if you did," Hatori said.
Saru wiped her eyes and asked, "Why'd you follow me?"
"...I'm the only one who knows how to stop your full juunishi," Hatori stated.
Saru nodded and got up. Hatori got up and they walked inside. Saru walked to her room and changed into her gothic cloths. Hatori knocked on her door. Saru opened it and he went in.
"How are you feeling?" Hatori asked Saru in his normal tone.
"Better, but there's one thing I don't get," Saru stated.
"What?" Hatori asked.
"Why didn't you change into you juunishi form?" Saru asked.
"Sense the panther isn't a well none juunishi it doesn't have the same powers as the normal juunishi," Hatori informed.
"What about the cat?" Saru asked.
"The cat is well none, but sense the panther didn't make a big deal about it so he isn't. The people who are taken by the panther spirit don't have the same curse as the normal juunishi," Hatori explained.
"Oh I get it," Saru claimed.
"I hope you feel better soon" Hatori said getting up and walking out the door.
Saru followed him outside and closed the door behind her.
"Hatori, thank you," Saru stated.
"You're welcome," Hatori acknowledged.
Hatori walked off and Saru went inside. Saru passed by Yuki, as she did he watched her. She walked to her room and worked on her homework. As she worked on it, she got out a packet of gum from her bag, got out a piece, and chewed on it. When she was done with her homework, she took out her drawing pad. Not her school drawing pad, but her home one. She flipped to a blank sheet and started to draw.
The drawing was of a tall man all dressed in a red suit. He had angel wings coming out of his back. In his left hand was a heart. Blood was coming out of it and onto the white ground. The man had a huge sneer on his face. In his other hand was a dagger with blood dripping off it. His hair was short and black.
When Saru looked at him closely, he resembled Hatori. Then she labeled it "The Real Cupid,".
Then she put it under her pillow and walked to the living room.
"Do you guys need anything from the store?" Saru asked walking out the door.
Then she closed the door before anyone could respond (the only people who were in the room was Shigure, Tohru, Yuki, and Kyo). She walked down the street until she saw a store. She went inside and looked around. She grabbed a drawing pad, a packet of pencils, colored pencils, erasers, and few candy bars. Then she paid for it and walked out.
