"Cows and personalities"
Another update in only one day! Who's good? I'm good! Yup. This one's Uo's P.O.V. didn't see that coming, did you?
Please review people! I appreciate it so much and it makes me write faster. Encouragement, that's what it is. It can be a complaint too I guess. Just two minutes of your time people! Two minutes!
Yes. Right then. I'm sorry for its shortness again but I'll try to make them longer. The last two will be huge, I promise!
I was pretty surprised to see a cow standing in the road, but who wouldn't be? It took me a while to process the fact that the pervert writer Tohru lived with was being yelled at by a creepy looking guy in a festival dress. Even weirder was the fact that Tohru wasn't freaking out about all this. She was standing, fairly calmly, and talking to the cow. Talking to it. Maybe it was some weird case of shock.
Me and Hanajima jogged over to see if we could help, and ask if they were all okay. They all looked up when I spoke, like they were surprised that someone else had noticed the two totaled cars. Whatever, it's their problem. Anyway, the group all looked really nervous. Why wouldn't they? If I had a car crash and a cow on my hands, I'd be nervous too. Hanajima stood calmly beside me. It's always nice to have an eerily calm person around in situations like this. Again, maybe that's just me.
"Tohru, what's wrong?" Stupid question. It was a car crash. That was how her mom died, and I should have expected her to be a little off. "Are you alright?" That was the right question. It had an obvious answer, but it was a good question. It was the answer to the question that really threw me.
"Do I look alright? Tohru san's in trouble cause I'm friggin' cursed, and now we're in a car crash. We have two cars and two animals on the road. In public. Do you think I'm alright?" She spat. Two animals? A cow and…I hadn't noticed the snake before now. He was on the creepy dude's shoulder.
'Are you alright Uo chan?' The cow said. Yes the cow said this. To me. Hanajima will back me up on this, so it wasn't a hallucination or anything. The cow spoke to me that day. The snake spoke too, but to the writer and the creepy dude.
The police arrived eventually, and they took us back to our respective homes (after cleaning up the mess). They didn't take me or Hanajima though. WE got back into our undamaged car and I drove to Tohru's place. Then it was all explained. Everything. The zodiac, the switch (which I still don't understand) and the crash. Most of it made sense. I nodded, not believing them for a while, just thinking they had hit their heads or something, but when Tohru changed back, I believed. A talking cow is a wonderful trick, but when it's a person, that's even cooler. I hugged everyone in the house, one by one, to see which animals they were. Cow, snake, rabbit, cat, dog, seahorse (in the zodiac?) and rat. I hugged Hanajima chan too, just for good measure. Suddenly, Orangey groaned. Haha. A cat groaned. Anyway…
"What's your problem?" I asked him.
"School. Tomorrow. Bad." He replied. You know you're tired when.
"Yes. That's bad." I said in a mock tone. But it was. Very, very bad.
So, you guessed it, we ended up going to school. We sat patiently in class, waiting for lunch break so we could talk to Tohru. Everything was irritatingly quiet, and you could hear the clock ticking off each second. I swayed my finger to the beat and stared out the window. Ceaseless boredom until…a crashing noise and the sound of footsteps. The door slid open. It was the rabbit from yesterday…Momiji I think his name was.
"Sensei, could you please excuse Tohru, Kyo, Yuki, Uotani and Hanajima?" The teacher asked why she would excuse that many students, and Momiji handed her a note. She sighed.
"Fine. Go." She said waving as off. We jogged down the hallway toward Momiji's class.
"What's wrong?" Prince charming asked.
"Tohru snapped." He replied. We all stopped dead.
"Who snapped? Tohru? Kuro Tohru?" Orangey demanded. Hatsuharu began to sprint to the class, and we all ran to catch up. Everyone was outside, and the teacher was nowhere. Hatsuharu slid open the door, where Tohru held a chair above her head and was ready to fling it out the broken window and onto the school grounds.
"We told you to kinda fake kuro Haru, not kill people!" Kyo snapped at her. She nodded, panting, and put down the chair. Then she toppled and fainted into Prince Charming's outstretched arms. How sappy and romantic. We carried her out and were excused for the day to tend to her or whatever, and so we spent the day watching movies, eating takeout, and having a good time with everyone (even Tohru, because she recovered quick). It was a pretty good day after all.
All finished for today! Next is Kagura! Then Kisa, then Ritsu (maybe) then Akito, everyone, and finally Tohru! I know I told you guys my P.O.V. plans before, but they've changed, as you can see. I hope it will work out well this way. Read and Review! Thanks!
