Alternate Reality

Summery: after Thoru has hard time dealing with the good news, bad whatever, but in anyway it effects her. Tohru looks for a home to stay, but looks aren't everything, Especially this way.

(a/n: I've kind of noticed that I've been misspelling Tohrus name like thoru. So please forgive me, I did this late in the night.)

Ch 2

MY Hero


My body was rolling around in the covers twisting the sheets up all over my body. It had seemed as if my body was tightly raped in a tight cocoon. I have tendency to do that. Always twisting and turning, I don't know why, but seems to be a habit., but this time it was not restless sleep this time, this time my body was worried about something, Something that kept nagging at me in the back of my mind.

Then there was sudden of Music that spread through my room. waking me up from my restless sleep. My eyes wandered to a red light saying 9:00, my hand slapped the snooze button to shut it off.

" Can't believe its morning already." I said yawning.

I drag my feet across the floor, and walked into the bathroom and opened the cabinet. " (Yawn) now I just have to get ready for today," she said. " Theirs no school because they're some kind of holiday today, so I have nothing to do." I said while looking at the calendar.

I walked into the kitchen, the room filled with the smell of herbs and spices. " Umm, smells nice. What you cooking grandpa?" I asked.

" Oh hi dear, well I cooking miso soup." He replied waving the spoon around.

" That sounds good, I love miso." I told him.

" I know, that's why I made it so you can have it while you pack." He said smiling.

Pack? Did he just say pack? " Grandpa what are you talking about?" I asked him, but really I didn't want him to answer. I only dreaded hearing the response that he was going to tell me.

" You know dear, about you moving in with your friends for the repairs." He told me while pointing to the house.

"Oh yah that." I said in shock and in disbelief

Oh no I forgot about that. I'm supposed to look for a place to stay today. I have no time to relax, but I wish I could. " Grandpa I'm going to go and take a walk." I said walking towards the door.

" Ok dear, come back not too late." He told me.

" I won't." I replied while waving to him. I picked up the house classifieds that I worked on last night, and walked out the door.


My foot made a click clack noise as I walked down the streets of Japan. People in different clothing walked down wearing their brand name clothing. Discussing about things they seen or heard to their friends or lovers.

"I wish I could be like them right now careless, and free to do what you want today." she sighed "but that does not matter, we have to find a place to stay." I said with a fist into the air " if only I knew where I'm going." I sighed again. I glanced down at the map and classifieds that where in my hand " lets see I should go down here and take at right…." I told myself while walking towards the destination. When I took another look at the map and bumped into someone "I'm so sorry." I said while picking up my stuff

"That's ok little girl." Replied the guy. I looked up at him and notice that he was a 18 year old guy probably still in high school I assumed. He grabbed a hold of my arm and picked me up. " You seemed loss need any help?" he asked me.

" Yah I was wondering where this house was?" I asked while pointing to the classifieds.

" Ah, that is a little bit further down let me help you." He told while he pulled me along.

We left the lively Street to a one that was quite and mellow and a bit on the ratty side. They're where clothing hanging on lines, tons of homeless guys leaning against the wall, drinking beer. Yup this was a great place to live had all you want in a neighborhood.

We finally stopped at one of the complex in was in good condition if you didn't look at the oven in the front yard. "Here we are." the man stated. "Well thanks, I better get going." I said when I started to walk towards the home. He grabbed me by the wrist hard again and pulled me towards him. " Don't I get a gift for helping you?" he asked with a smirk on his face. " Um, sure here." I said while I handed him some money, but He shoved the out of my hand like it was disrespect what I just did. "Um, sssorrry." I stuttered while shaking. I was scared I had no idea what to do. I did everything my grandpa just told me not to do since I was little. He told me not to talk to strangers and I did and I even went with him here, and also I have no idea who he is or his name. "I'm so stupid, I'm so stupid" I said over and over in my head.

"Ok how about a kiss for my present?" he asked while getting closer to me.

I couldn't move I was just shocked what just happening right now. He moves closer and closer leaning in towards my face. Are lips were only inches apart from each other when a voice crept out from the shadows " humph, you couldn't get any girls on the street so you had to take advantage of an innocent one." He said in a loud voice " you're a dog hahahahaha, a dog hahahahaha."

The guy next to me was confused to where the voice was coming from. He looked around where he was standing, but he couldn't figure it out. "Where are you?" the guy asked while holding the fist up. A man in some kind of uniform came in to view. I think what he was wearing was a uniform from some school, I guess.

The man walked closer towards us in a calm and serene stance. Like if he where one of those super heroes from those comic books guys read, and I hope he is because I need one right now.

The guy or should I call him the "bad" man pushed me behind him so that this strange man couldn't get me. " You have no right on spying on people." He said while running towards him with his fist, but the man in the uniform dodge it with ease by swerving to the right. The bad man skidded his feet on pavement and turned towards the man in the uniform. " You're good, but not good enough." The bad man yelled again while throwing another fist at him, but the man dodged again if he where the wind himself.

The "bad" man skidded again and hit face into a pole, leaving a indention mark. "hahaha now that's funny." The weird man in the uniform laughed.

I was in shocked and in disbelief again, but not because I have to find a place, but because there is this strange man defending me I don't know who he is or anything, but this time I wont let my guard down this time I will protect my self. I picked up a tree limb near by and hold it close to my chest for protection. "Who are you?" I yelled to the man. The guy turned around and smiled "I'm Shigure Shoma." He said while he bowed " an d what is with all the defensive stance about?" he asked while looking at the tree limb.

"I can't trust any one right now." I said while studying this guy. I had to make sure if he was bad or not. He had black shaggy hair down to his shoulders, and brown… friendly eyes. This guy couldn't be bad, he seemed to be a next door neighbor person who had good fighting skills.

" Yah, I can understand. The way the guy treated you, I wouldn't either." He commented with a shrug. Then he looked down at his watch up again " sorry I have to go, but make sure not to talk to any strangers." He said while walking away.

I stood there in shock while he disappeared in to the dark alley. "Who in the world is this guy?" I asked my self.

After the strange incident with the crazy man, Shigure, I've decided to go along with my adventure to look for a new home, And I did, I came empty handed. They're where no good homes. Either they where to small live in the slums or had weird family living near by. I'm not picky but I need a nice place not too fancy, but nice place when I have to stay some where for a month.

I let at a big sigh while, I sat onto a park bench. "What am I going to do? I have no where to stay. I might as well live in that box." I stated. I looked down at my feet in disappointment. "Mom, I failed you." I said while a tear dripped down my chin. As I wiped my face off a familiar voice rang into my ears.

" You have to be strong no matter what life brings you." The voice whispered

" Your right mom, I can do it." I said while I stood up with my fist in the air. Then I took notice that everyone was looking at me, as if I where crazy.

I blew out another sigh and sat back down. "But, where am I going to stay?" I asked myself, while staring into the distance.

Then a sudden motion of wind moved my paper off the chair. " Wait come back." Yelled while chasing after them. I ran towards them after awhile and just gave up. "What does it matter now I've already looked at them." I sighed while I leaned on pole that was next to me.

When I got back my senses brought up my head and got ready to leave when I saw a sign that I was waiting for. It said "room for rent!" That was it, this was the place I was going to stay. It had every thing bathroom bed desk and it was cheap. " Lets see what street it on… its on Haru street. Wait Haru Street is basically where the all boys' school is nooooo… I'll never find my home." I yelled. I sat down onto the freezing and wet grass.

Thoughts were running into my mind. Thinking on what I was going to do with this, this was my only opportunity to have a place to stay, but the only dilemma was that you had to be raging hormonal guy (a/n: sorry guys). "what am I going to do?" I kept asking my self over and over.

I looked down at my skirt and noticed a bit of dirt on it and tried to wipe it off. As I was the wiping the meddler, I saw myself in a pair of pants, and coat and tie. Didn't seem that bad me as man… as a MAN! What was I thinking I most be getting desperate! But this seems to be are only hope, so I'm going to have to be a man! I shouted while I jumped up into the air.

Then once again I've attracted attention to myself. I really need to stop doing that.


(a/n: well there goes my second chapter. I think it was a little bit longer than the last, but I'm not sure. I know this story is going slow, but we have to introduce everyone, one by, one. Which will take awhile. So see you next time on Alternate Reality. God… I sound like that dbz broadcaster.)

Preview: Tohru signs up for the all boys school and shops for her manly cloths, but before she can get into this school she has to do a physical with the nurse of the school.
