"If she's not wearing the beads soon, she'll turn into a goddess"
"The first cat is seen as a blessing."
"I Change just like you"
"She'll have to leave."
Chapter Three: She can't leave!
Kyo backed away from the young woman. 'no' Kyo thought. Kyotoyu bowed her head down and looked at the floor, facing away from Kyo. "I-I-I'm so sorry,Kyo. I don't want to make her leave. I can't. Neither can Eirc. But if she doesn't leave, it means punishment to Eirc, and I get locked up in the main house, here in Japan. " Kyotoyu opened the door to Tohru's room where Tohru was laid on her bed sleeping, before Kyo could yell or say another thing.
Kyotoyu entered the room and closed the door. Kyotoyu's heart was heavy with shame. 'Eric, how can I do this to Tohru-chan?' Drops of tears fell on her hands as she walked to Tohru's bed side. 'Why? Why Tohru of all people?' Kyotoyu kneeled down at her lovely niece's side and cried silently. ' why! Why do I have to be the bad guy?' She wiped the stinging tears out of her eyes and took a beautiful bracelet out of the box, it had black gems and sapphire jewels in an every other pattern. Kyotoyu placed the jeweled bracelet on her niece's wrist. Tohru's fever left her, and all the other illness. But now Tohru's hair was a more Red, with a hue of brownish tint. Kyotoyu already knew that her eyes were either going to be the color of blood or a greenish/ violet color.
'Why Tohru? Why not me?'
Eirc was tired of all of the calls from the damned relatives wondering when the 'new' head of family was arriving. From what he could tell. There wasn't much of a chance that Tohru was going to leave so willingly. Well not without the Sohma family interfering. The phone rang again and Eirc picked up.
"Akito will see you now" It was as inviting as it was going to get. The caller hanged up. Eric sighed and got up to leave. He locked the door behind him. 'Great, Kyo-baka should be doing this! I didn't want to talk to Akito!' He thought as he left the Hotel.
Kyotoyu was afraid of leaving the safety of Tohru's room. She was even thinking of jumping out of Tohru's window and coming back tomorrow. But that would mean ending up to see Akito. Which to mention wasn't on her wish list. Akito would be that last person to see on her list of people she'd wish to see. She lifted her head from Tohru's bed when Yuki entered the room. Yuki always had a light voice, and he was the perfect person, well in the Sohma sence, to confront Tohru's Aunt. "Miss. Kuishgui, I do not mean to inured but, Why would Tohru have to leave" Yuki said and as he looked from the tear streaked Kyotoyu to the red headed Tohru, he squeaked out a small gasp. 'Oh, Kami. What happened?' Yuki thought as he looked at Tohru. "It's a custom. I hate it. I don't know why Tohru was dragged into this?." Kyotoyu said in the question statement.
By the way Kyotoyu looked, you could tell that she wasn't easily really upset. "I-it's unfair. It's not right to Tohru." She said then gave off a cruel laugh. "Isn't that your line, Yuki" She looked at him with her redden lost eyes. Any make up that she did put on was washed away by her tears. "Most of the Sohma family is going to catch wind of Tohru having to leave and is going to come here to yell at me or beg Tohru to stay." Kyotoyu looked kindly to Tohru.
"Miss. Kuishgui, I know you care about Tohru. But She belongs here with us and the stupid cat down stairs. " Yuki looked her in the eyes and was swallowed by the deepness of the young girls eyes. "You don't understand, Yuki." She whispered, their gaze unbroken. "You don't have to stay with Akito." She smiled kindly at Yuki. "Yuki-san, Do you want to know the whole story of the zodiac" Yuki looked bewilderedly at her.
"What do you mean the whole story"
Kyo couldn't Stand the Idea of Tohru leaving.He was sitting on the roof, with the wind and sun as his only company. What really got on his nerves was her aunt. How could she do such a thing to her own niece? Make her leave a place that she loves and loving friends to America, just because of customs? Kyo didn't have the will do go ask Tohru's aunt why. Silent and unknowen tears dripped down Kyo's face. He wouldn't stand for Tohru leaving, and he was sure that rat-boy wasn't going to stand it either! Kyo looked in the distant trees to see the boy that he saw yesterday walking towards the main house. But what for? Kyo frowned. Knowing that he wasn't allowed into the main house he stayed put on the roof watching the odd boy carefully intill he was out of sight.
Eirc entered the well decorated house. Without delay he was sent stright to Akito. 'Kami, why?' Eirc was sent into the nearly emptyed room where Aktio sat. Akito had on a cold mask, with a equally cold smile that chilled Eric to the bone. No wonder Kyo-chan ditched me. Eirc had his head bowed at the head of the Sohma family. Aktio behind his cold mask was worried at seeing a Kushigui family member here. " I didn't nothing to one of your cursed, so why are you here, Kushigui?" He said the name 'Kushigui' as if it was an insult. Eirc frowned under his bangs. "I'm here because Tohru Honda is one of our cursed. And by our records it's seems as if you have interferred with our family, Akito. Not once, but several times." Akito was mostly shocked by Eircs statement. He hadn't knowen that Tohru was ruled under the goddess stars nor did he know that she was cursed. They only come when we bother their cursed or 'blessed' ones. Akito thought sourly.Akito sighed in fustrastion. "Your their rat aren't you?" Akito demanded more then asked. Eirc nodded. "What do they call you by? By our information your one of the watchers of the family, Yumi the rat." Akito said cooly. Then glared at 'Eirc'.
"What do you want, Yumi?"
A/n: I hope that was long enough for now!
