Arg... too many people to please! I wanted this to be long, but if I write so many chapters now... oh well as long as you all are happy reviewers I can't argue.
Chapter 13- Day 3- Kisa's Block
Hana and Uo sat on both sides of Tohru, blocking me. So I sat and thought about their deal, I wasn't too happy about it. So I had till Day 12 eh? Great and it would take them like a day to get to America, what could anyone do in a day? Nothing. Only if she wants to go, I... want her to live. So if they can get her more time...
I continued to think about it for the rest of the night, I didn't even notice when Hana handed me a cup of tea the next morning.
"Thanks," I said as I took the cup. I pushed the hair from my eyes and I saw Tohru looking at me with her sweet face. I got up from where I was sitting and went to sit next to her.
"Good morning, love." I said softly.
She looked at me with her loving smile, "Good morning. I hope I'm not being any trouble..."
I shook my head, "No, of course not. But, Hana and Uo have a deal for me, for you, for us."
"Hana and Uo?" Tohru asked.
"Yes." I nodded and told Tohru the deal, she stared at me confused.
"They wanna what?! No, Yuki... I... but they..." Tohru stuttered.
"There's something else we forgot to mention." Uo began.
Tohru looked at them, as did I.
"We aren't just going because of the deal... I... found some family that lives in America. So I'm moving there for a couple years." Uo continued. Then Hana spoke up.
"I couldn't bear to be without either one of you, so in a way this will be our only way, to bring all of us. I'm going there, to be with Uo. We are going to learn English and lots of stuff that could be used wisely here in Japan. Megumi is coming with us, and we are all gonna live in a little house on Uo's family's estate. In America they are very rich." Hana finished.
Tohru and me looked at them, and then Tohru spoke, "I'll go then... even if Yuki finds a cure. I'll go."
I looked at Tohru, "But Tohru... our marriage."
She smiled at me, "You find the cure, and I'll go there and see what they can do. Come there when you find it, live with us. Please Yuki, they mean more to me then my own life, I love you very much, and if you love me too you'll do this for me."
I stared at her, thinking she might be kidding, waiting for her to tell me this entire thing was a joke. She didn't say it. I just stood there in a daze before coughing myself back into reality.
"Yuki, another asthma attack?" Tohru asked concerned.
I nodded, "But, I'm okay..." cough "Really." cough "No need to..." faint
"Yuki!" Tohru cried unhappily.
"The Prince is asthmatic?" Uo asked.
"Yes, it appears so Uo. And Tohru you really should ask before inviting him." Hana said half joking.
"You were joking?" Uo asked smiling.
"Half joking." Hana said smiling back.
"Then you were half serious." Uo said and she began to laugh.
"Um... I think we should get a doctor for Yuki. Also I'm sorry I didn't ask, but I... won't live there without him." Tohru spoke slowly, as if afraid of her own words.
In that instant Hatori and Ayame burst in.
"What happened here?" Hatori asked.
"My baby brother!" Ayame cried, "He didn't do anything..."
Both Hatori and Ayame looked at Hana and Uo and then Uo screamed.
"PERVS! No, of course not, sickos. He belongs to Tohru anyway." Uo yelled.
Ayame grinned, "Well I don't."
Uo's eyes twitched. And Hana zapped him; he fell unconsciously on the floor. And Tohru passed out from all the excitement which was a strain to her body.
A few hours later I awakened and groaned before bolting upright. It was already late afternoon and I had to see Kisa. Hatori pushed me back down.
"You're not going anywhere. I called Kisa already; she's coming, calm down." Hatori said calmly.
I nodded and just then Kisa entered the room.
"Yuki? Are you hurt Yuki?" Kisa's eyes got big.
"No, Kisa. I'm alright, really. Come here and sit with me and we can talk okay?" I said.
"Will it help Sissy?" She asked.
I frowned then smiled at her, "Yes it will, and maybe..." I stopped should I tell her?
I looked at Hatori, he nodded.
"Kisa... Tohru will be moving away for a little while. And as soon as I can, I'm going with her." I said slowly, it took Kisa a minute to realize I wasn't playing around.
"Then I want to come!" Kisa said sadly. I shook my head, "You can't." Her eyes brimmed with tears, but they didn't fall.
"Please Yuki." Kisa begged.
"I'm sorry Kisa, and if you don't help, she won't even live." I said trying to bring her back to Junishi cursed subject.
She wiped away the tears that had formed and looked sadly at me and began her story.
Ina had 1 child, one young son, who was sent back to Japan, to the new Family Leader. Ina's son was possessed by the spirit of the tiger, his name was Kuro. Kuro had come back to find the newest Family Leader. Takai's mother's newest child appeared to have the symptoms and she was announced as the Leader, her name was Kikai. Kikai treated Takai and Kuro horribly; since Ina had been killed she was never in a good mood. Kikai loved to torment Kuro. Kuro was only 5 when Kikai had found the use of a whip. Like for you Yuki. Kikai was about 7 and she had long blonde hair that went to her ankles, it was never tied back and the kimono she wore was very loosely fit around her small body. Takai tried to stop Kikai, but he never could.
And so, like me, Kuro shut himself off from the world. He wouldn't talk; he wouldn't even look at anyone. It got to the point where he had to be locked up and chained because the Family feared he'd murder himself. Kuro was never happy, he felt like he lived for people's entertainment, to make them happy while he suffered. The years grew shorter for him, and he became 20. Kikai was 22. Kikai decided instead of beating him, she's have some 'fun' with him. And so afterward, she wasn't pleased enough with him. Then Kikai got angry, and came to beat him, she beat him for so long, he died. Now the only one left was Takai. He was feeling very useless about now. And Kikai was going to have her own child, much to her disliking. But she chose to keep it...
Kisa stopped and turned away embaressed, "That is all I know Yuki."
I thanked her and she went to leave. Things are getting more complicated by the second I thought.
"I've got news Yuki." Hatori said.
"Yes?"
"Tohru will be leaving late in the day tomorrow."
"Oh? So soon."
"Yes, she doesn't have much stuff and we want to get her there while she is sleeping and not in too much pain. Please don't ask Momiji anything until she leaves."
I nodded, "Sure." I was having trouble believing this; to me everything was becoming unreal. It was like I was dreaming, so nothing really fazed me too much. Oh well, que sera, sera. Like Shigure says, he has to be right about something... I didn't want to believe my life right now, but for Tohru I had to, only for her.
