Wow, only one chapter posted and I already got six reviews! So different from the JCA section! Thank you very much!!
AnimePerson – Don't worry, I rarely give up my fics. In fact, I just translated this fic now because I had a horrible writer's block. This is actually a very old fic.
VampireNaomi – I love Shigure too! And Kyou! I'm still deciding what I'm going to do with him, though. If you get too confused, you should visit some FB sites, they're in the links section of my site.
Alowl – I still don't know about the cat, but I've planned something for the family head. I still have time, though.
Aura Black Chan – Yes, yes, I know I suck at action scenes. That's why the battle in this chapter has a very poor description. But your sister could try the crossover idea too. I think it would be interesting to see other authors' point of view on how the two groups would react if they met.
CrazyInsaneAnimeFanGirl – Ok, there you go, I hope you like this chapter too. n.n
Ariyana – Thank you. Maybe my grammar is worse in that chapter because it was an old one. Or because I was in a great hurry when I translated that. Or just because it really is awkward. o.o" Thank you, anyway. It's good to know that my English is not bad even though I haven't studied it for five years.
Daolon Wong is speaking in English in this fic, and the Juunish members speak in Japanese, but they also can understand some English. I'll use the following resort for this chapter:
"blah, blah, blah" – Japanese
"#blah, blah, blah#" – English
Sorry if sometimes it gets confusing... They'll start to speak in English practically the whole time in future chapters, but if someone has a better idea, please tell me.
Chapter 2: Tohru, meet... Tohru?!
Kyou opened his eyes with difficult. His head ached and he could just see someone's figure looking at him. Only after some while his sight was back to normal and he realized that the figure was Tohru, who was looking at him in worry. He slowly rose from his bed to sit.
"Kyou-kun, are you all right?" she asked.
"... I am... Ow... Where's Haru?" he asked pressing his head where he had been hit.
"He left," she answered shortly.
"Damn! How did he get so strong?" Kyou muttered to himself while the girl watched him quietly. Suddenly, she seemed to have remembered something.
"Ah, I'll bring more ice," she said leaving the room.
She went downstairs and saw Yuki, who was looking at her as if he had been waiting for her. His arms were crossed behind him, and he looked a bit uneasy.
"Yuki-kun...?"
"Honda-san, I want to give you something," he said showing that in one of his hands he was holding the diary she had forgotten in the school.
"Ah, it's my diary!" she said a little surprised.
"You forgot it in the school today," he said handing it to her.
"Thank you, Yuki-kun," she said with her usual smile.
"One more thing... Your diary was open in your birthday and I noted it is going to be next week. But since I'll be in Tokyo next week, I decided to buy you a present today..." he said showing that in his other hand he had a teddy bear.
"Ah... Thank you very much!" she said nervously and they both blushed a little. She glanced at the teddy bear and noted that it glowed for one second. "Eh?"
Yuki gave her the teddy bear, but when she held it, it bit her hand.
"AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" she screamed more in surprised than in pain and instinctively threw it away from her, making it end up in the kitchen's sink. Tohru and Yuki hurried to the kitchen alarmed and Shigure, who was having a snack, looked at he sink when he heard the sound of something fell in the water.
"Hey, I can't get wet! Do you want ruin me?!" the teddy bear snapped after jumping out the sink. The three humans stared in disbelief at it, their eyes widened. Tohru screamed horrified, and Yuki stood ahead her so protect her.
"What's the meaning of this?" he asked completely confused and Shigure seemed to have had an idea.
"Hey, don't you think we could get much money if we used it as a ventriloquist?" he asked smiling and Yuki glared at his cousin.
"Shigure, don't say such a stupid thing! This is serious!"
"What's going on?" Knyou asked going downstairs and rushing to the kitchen.
"The teddy bear... is... alive...!" Tohru answered with some difficulty due to the shock and Kyou widened his eyes.
"What?!"
"You stupid humans, you'll never get me alive!" the teddy bear provoked and ran towards the only door.
"Get him!" Shigure shouted and tried to grab the bear, but it managed to jump right on time and landed on the young man's back when he fell to the floor.
"Come here, you!" Yuki and Kyou surrounded the bear to catch it at the same time, but it jumped again and the boys hit each other's head, falling to the floor as well.
"A-Ano..." Tohru murmured trembling when the teddy bear ran under her legs.
"Muhahahahaha!" the teddy bear laughed evilly and got out of the house. Shigure got up and turned to his two cousins, who still were lying in the floor with bumps on their heads.
"You two, get up! Get that bear!"
As soon as the group left the house, there was a kind of explosion right in front of them. When the purple smoke started to fade, they saw the teddy bear completely destroyed and a weird old man facing them.
His skin was very pale and sort of grey, his eyes had different colors and there was a black symbol on his forehead. He was wearing a black robe and holding a glowing scepter, which he apparently had used to decimate the teddy bear. They stared both surprised and apprehensive at the wizard, who smirked in victory.
"#What a stroke of luck to find two talisman powers in one go,#" he said and pointed at Shigure. "#I'll start with you, and absorb the power of immortality!#"
"What did he say?" Kyou asked.
"He's speaking in English. He said that he's going to absorb the power of immortality," Yuki answered.
"What? Immortality...?" Shigure murmured and then remembered of when he was run over but did not die. However, before any of them could do anything, the mysterious wizard used the power of his scepter to pull Shigure closer to him and began to speak some strange words that did not seem to belong to any known language. One mouth appeared in each of his hands and he finally grabbed Shigure with them.
"What are you doing?" "Stop it!" Yuki and Kyou attacked the old wizard, who did not suffer anything and interrupted his spell, turning to face them and use his scepter. The two boys were sucked by the ground and got stuck in the shoulder length.
He then continued his spell on Shigure, who could not move. Tohru just stared at the scene in shock and unable to help them. She closed her eyes, trying to hold her tears.
Oh, no... What am I going to do now...?
"Stop that, please!" she shouted in desperation, but the wizard just smiled, ignoring her.
"Daolon Wong!" an unknown voice shouted and Tohru opened her eyes to see a group of four people, all of them eastern. There was a young man, a little girl, a huge man who reminded her of a sumo fighter and an old man, who was holding a glowing blowfish. The wizard was lying in the ground, trying to get up, and Shigure ran to stand beside her.
"#You!#" the wizard snapped and the old man aimed the fish at him. The other smiled and lifted his scepter. "Gan, Ren, Chui!" he said aloud and three beings appeared in front of him. They looked humans, but their skin was orange, their ears were pointed and they had vertical eyelids.
"#Wow!#" one of them said, glancing at his own hands.
"#Cool!#" the one beside him said doing the same and the third one looked at the newcomers.
"Chan!"
"#Dark chi warriors, get them!#" the wizard ordered and the three creatures charged the two youngest men while the older one used his blowfish to shoot greenish rays at their master.
It was not a surprise that the bigger man was extremely strong, but the skills of the man who was wearing a blue shirt and khaki trousers were amazing. He was probably much better than Yuki and Kyou!
"#Hey, don't just stand there! Give me a hand here!#" the little girl shouted to Shigure and Tohru before beginning to dig up the two boys. The green-eyed girl glanced at Shigure, who shrugged. Even though they did not understand what was going on, they knew that they had to help them out.
Once free, the boys joined the fight against the warriors, proving to be excellent fighter too. With four skilled fighters, it did not take too long until the three dark chi warriors got defeated, turned into smoke and faded away. Soon the wizard called Daolon Wong was surrounded by the two groups.
"#We shall meet again, old man,#" he said glaring at his rival and used his scepter again to teleport himself.
"#Yes!#" the little girl commemorated and Tohru approached the group, her hands crossed on her chest and her eyes sparkling.
"Thank you very much for helping us! You are impressive!"
The foreigner group stared at her. Apparently, they had no idea what she had just said, but the bigger man smiled.
"You are welcome," he said.
"#Oh, that's right! Tohru is Japanese!#" the little girl stated and smiled. "#Tell them who we are, T!#"
"#But... how should I start...?#" he asked unsure. He glanced at the two groups, they were all waiting for him to say something. He smiled shyly and was about to say something, but the old man beside him interrupted him when the blowfish began to glow.
"#The locator spell has found the powers of immortality and motion to the motionless!#" he announced, aiming the blowfish at Yuki and Shigure. "Tohru!" he called.
"#Yes?#" the bigger man replied at the same time that Tohru said "Yes!" in Japanese.
They stared at them for a while until the old man break the silence, snorting.
"#Uncle did not talk to you, girl! Was talking to my apprentice Tohru!#" he snapped pointing at her and to the Japanese man. The girl blinked in confusion, though she had understood what he said.
"#But my name is Tohru...#" she replied, surprising everybody both because she spoke in English and because of the coincidence.
"#Woah! Two Tohrus?!" the little girl said.
To be continued...
Sometimes I feel like writing words in Japanese for Tohru. Things like "Arigatou gozaimashita", "Hai!" and "sugoi!" are very easy to understand, but... oh well...
