Well hello!!!! Happy days!!!!! I got good grades on my interim (I think) and I had the time to type this chapter up!!!!! An answer to a previous comment, now that I think about it, Tsubasha and Hitoshi are sort of alike. Well I intended it to be that way for a reason and you will find out why in a few chapters!! There are of course a few differences, Tsubasha is much more brutal, she knows more about the Sohma family and their little details (she can trace Shigure's life to when he was born, ah the miracle of stuff that can be found out later if you read this fic) and she is much much MUCH wiser (also found out why in a later chapter). I think that now I'm gonna set up review requests for chapters. If I don't get four new reviews, I will not post the next chapter and trust me this one will be a cliff-hanger!!!! Well, here's chapter 10!!!!!
"saying stuff"
'thinking stuff'
Just had to put that in there cause well I don't fell like saying "she thought" and blah. I might use it on and off, so don't get confused (you all are smart people, you probably won't).
Chapter 10- Juuinshi Banquet
Tsubasha finished her sentence and smiled wickedly staring into Shigure's face, which was filled with confusion and horror.
"You can't do that!!" exclaimed Shigure frantically waving his arms. Tsubasha shook her head and tutted quickly saying,
"Tsk, tsk Shigure-san. Don't you know that if my student wants something, and it is something that I believe is very much useful or clever I will protect her cause and make sure that it succeeds? Not matter what?" She finished her statement and got down on all fours crawling towards Shigure saying,
"I intend to keep that promise and that means taking down whoever stands in her path." She put one finger underneath Shigure's chin and lifted it up scanning his fear-stricken/ blushing face. Then she put down her finger and shook her head smiling and got up off of the floor leaving Shigure who was now foaming at the mouth and twitching at the same time. Tsubasha then moved to Kyo and said almost the same exact things (minus the EXTRA persuasion). The Hitoshi moved to Kyo, who was still frazzled from all of the sudden occurrences and said,
"The Banquet starts in a few weeks, so there are a few preparations to be made. For one, we have to kidnap Kagura,"
"WE HAVE TO WHAT?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?" screamed Kyo right into Hitoshi's face. Out of anger, Hitoshi grabbed Kyo's mess of orange hair yanking it back while she moved her face so that she could stare directly into his eyes.
"Listen to me stubborn cat. You will obey what I say or I will complete my job as an assassin. I have no sorrow of getting a murderers family's blood on my hands," said Hitoshi with an evil tone in her voice. To finish it off, she smiled madly, lifted her head back and started to laugh. It couldn't even be considered a laugh; it was like a cackle. As Shigure and Kyo watched her in horror, Tsubasha looked at Hitoshi sadly and shook her head. Then Hitoshi perked up to her usual attitude and said,
"Oh and you have to dye your hair gray, wear makeup, and take me as an escort. Understood?" Kyo was standing up, but his eyes sunk to the back of his head and his mouth had dropped to the floor. Hitoshi shook her head and lifted Kyo's mouth and shut it with one finger. Shigure had gotten up by now, and he turned to face Tsubasha. As he looked at her, Tsubasha picked up her head and glared at him making him fall down on the floor again foaming at the mouth and twitching.
"O.K. I've already got a plan to get Kagura-san to come to us. Are you listening Kyo?" asked Hitoshi directing her question to Kyo who had his eyes still stuck at the back of his head. Hitoshi stamped herself over to Kyo and looked like she was about to blow up in his face, but instead, she calmed herself down and put one arm around his neck and one finger underneath his chin and turned his face towards hers.
"Won't you listen to me?" questioned Hitoshi pouting playfully. Kyo's eyes had come back to their normal position and he was staring at Hitoshi and blushing while she was smiling at him.
"I know why you won't listen to me. I didn't kiss you at the festival," said Hitoshi quite seriously. Then Kyo started to stammer as Hitoshi moved closer to his face.
"Isn't that a little bit too inappropriate in public Hitoshi-chan?" questioned Tsubasha playfully. Hitoshi collapsed head first onto the floor and yelled back at Tsubasha saying,
"Sensei!!!!!! I was going to pretend to kiss him and then I was gonna punch him!!!!!!!"
"Well, that looked like something else," replied Tsubasha looking suspiciously at Kyo and Hitoshi.
This time Kyo replied and he stammered back,
"Dddon't even joke Tsubasha-dono!!" To this Tsubasha replied,
"Ooh!! He's polite too! I completely approve Hitoshi-chan." Hitoshi sprang up yelling,
"WHAT?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?" Giggling, Tsubasha started to run away from Hitoshi who was sprinting behind her trying to rip her apart. This went on for about a minute until Hitoshi ran out of breath at when she sat beside Kyo discussing the plans. Finally, Hitoshi came to the subject of Shigure.
"Shigure, I know that you will tell someone, so I've come up with a plan," said Hitoshi very seriously.
"What is it? If it's got me dressing up like a girl then, I'm out," replied Shigure not very frazzled.
"I will take care of you myself," said Tsubasha looking Shigure straight at him into his eyes. Shigure turned his head and looked back into Tsubasha's eyes and saw a determined person willing to do anything. He shuddered for a second as Tsubasha continued,
"I know you'll be stupid and try to get the message out to your friends and so I have decided to stop you from doing anything of that sort. And as I said before, I will be willing to do anything to help my student." She lifted her so that there was some of her black hair covering her face, but her blue eyes shone through and stared back at Shigure who shuffled a few feet backward as though Tsubasha's eyes repelled him.
"Well, since that's decided, I'll go get the stuff we need! The New Year's celebration does start in a few days!!" said Hitoshi very cheerfully dragging Kyo along with her (Kyo is crying with sorrow right now).
After about five days passed and the New Year's Celebration was that evening, Hitoshi got out the stuff that she had purchased five days ago. She gathered all of them into a large paper bag and brought them along with her to Kyo's room (which is locked). She cheerfully knocked on the door saying,
"Kyo-kun!!! It's time to get ready now!!!" (Just for info, it's morning.) Nothing replied except for some loud snoring. After each snore, Hitoshi got more and more aggravated and finally, she kicked the door open with her foot. As she stormed into the room, Kyo was still snoring loud as ever. Hitoshi stomped over to where Kyo was laying and knelt beside him. She stared at him for a minute and calmed herself down and began to stroke Kyo's mess of orange hair. As though he was a little child, Kyo rolled over to face Hitoshi and started to smile lightly.
"Kyo-kun?" asked Hitoshi almost cooing like a dove.
"Yes?" replied Kyo like a baby.
"GET UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" yelled Hitoshi punching his head with the hand that was stroking his hair. Kyo fell out of the bed rubbing his wound and yelled back,
"YOU BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'LL MAKE YOU PAY FOR THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Yeah, whatever," replied Hitoshi waving her hand as though it was a minute problem, "anyway, it's time to get ready."
"But it's six in the morning!!!" whined Kyo.
"It'll take a long time, trust me. Now first off, strip," said Hitoshi pointing at his clothes. Kyo jumped back and yelped saying,
"What in the world?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?"
"Did I stutter? Take off your clothes before I take them off myself," said Hitoshi as she approached Kyo. He stepped back blushing brighter and brighter with each step until finally he said,
"O.K!!!!!!!!! I'll take them off, but you can't look!!" Hitoshi scoffed and said,
"Who would want to?" But anyway, she turned around and tossed a towel behind her asking him to put it on. When he did put the towel on, Hitoshi rushed him into the bathroom where she forced him to take a quick bath (without her in the room of course). When he was finally done, Hitoshi made him stay in the bath and she took out some shampoo and started to lather it into Kyo's mess of hair. Kyo started to blush as she started to massage the liquid into his head. Hitoshi looked to the right of him quizzically wondering why he was blushing.
"Why are you blushing?" questioned Hitoshi playfully. Kyo looked at her and started to stammer something that no one in the world could understand. Hitoshi stared at him as he frantically tried to stammer something until finally Hitoshi smiled and rubbed his head further lathering the shampoo.
"The only reason that I'm washing your hair now is so that I can properly clean your head to evenly distribute the dye. Anyway, your gonna wash my hair too," said Hitoshi scrubbing Kyo's head. At first, Kyo thought nothing of it, but after a minute he turned around and yelled in Hitoshi face saying,
"I'M GONNA WASH YOUR HAIR?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?"
"Yes, and calm down. I won't let you see anything," said Hitoshi staring at him as thought he was insane. Kyo clamed himself down as Hitoshi basically massaged his head complaining about how he didn't take care of his hair, but the thought of washing Hitoshi's hair still plagued his mind like a disease.
"O.K!! All done! Now I'm gonna go change. Make sure you put something on," said Hitoshi as she stepped out of the bathroom. Kyo turned his head back and stared at the bath as though there was something interesting inside it. Finally, he stepped out and put on a towel just as Hitoshi was coming out of the room. She too had on a towel and her hair was free from the bow so that it almost flowed around her. She stood in the doorway holding her towel and staring at Kyo who was staring at her and blushing at the same time.
"Ss…sorry!!!!!! I'll leave!!!!" said Kyo covering his eyes and rushing out of the bathroom leaving Hitoshi. She shut the door and left Kyo outside in her room (the bathroom is Hitoshi's bathroom) sitting and blushing on the floor. Kyo just stared at the floor occasionally glancing at the bathroom door and then turned back around scolding himself. Then, Hitoshi called out to Kyo saying,
"Kyo-kun!!!!!!!! Come on in!!" Kyo jumped up and walked to the bathroom slowly and blushing brighter and brighter with every step. He slowly opened the door and found Hitoshi with her long black hair draped all over the upper part of her and she was smiling at him motioning him to come closer.
"Well then, get on with it before I absorb all of the water!" exclaimed Hitoshi handing Kyo the shampoo bottle. Hitoshi turned her back and moved all of her hair so that Kyo could wash it (her hair is so long that it pools on the floor). Kyo squirted some of the liquid into his hand and nervously moved it to Hitoshi's locks. Squinting as thought in pain, he planted his hand on top of Hitoshi's head. He slowly opened his eyes and slowly started to massage the shampoo into her head. Soon, he wasn't blushing at all and he was taking the job quite seriously (he's still in the towel by the way). As he picked up Hitoshi's hair off of the floor to properly clean it, he noticed the necklace that Hitoshi was wearing. He looked at Hitoshi who seemed to be sleeping and moved his hand slowly toward the clasp. Just as his hand touched the clasp, Hitoshi's hand grasped his wrist tightly and threw him across the floor. As Kyo got up from the impact, he saw Hitoshi, who was glaring at him saying,
"No one is allowed to touch this necklace. Understood?" Kyo nodded and quickly went back to washing Hitoshi. Even though Hitoshi told him not to touch the necklace, Kyo kept on glancing at it from the top of Hitoshi's head (he can't see anything because Hitoshi's bangs are covering everything and she sitting deep in the bath). Finally, Hitoshi caught him glancing at her necklace and her hand flocked to it as thought she was protecting, but she calmed herself down and asked Kyo politely,
"You do want to know about this necklace don't you?" Kyo was a little taken aback, but he agreed. Slowly, Hitoshi began her story.
"My mother gave this to me when I started to change. She said it would keep my humanity. I never really understood her. I just thought it was pretty and I wore it every day until I finally understood why she said it would keep my humanity. When it happened, it was horrible. It was like every fiber of my being was ripped apart by this monster." By now, Hitoshi was crying clutching the necklace as thought she was trying to break it.
"This is what masks what lives inside of me." Hitoshi stopped and smiled sadly saying in a quiet voice,
"Well, I guess this is my fate. This is what I deserve. I am the monster." She hung her head down making all of her long black hair cover her face like a shining soapy veil.
"I am what lives inside me," continued Hitoshi still crying. Eventually, Hitoshi broke down flinging her head down further while she grabbed her head and cried madly. She was shaking violently and her crying only got worse after every passing minute. Suddenly, Hitoshi felt a pair of hands lightly grasping her shoulders turning her around. Hitoshi looked at Kyo, who was staring at her eyes speaking very seriously,
"Although I know nothing of this monster you speak of, I know that you are not that. You are much higher than that Hitoshi-chan. I know that you are much better than that being that you speak of." Hitoshi was a little bit surprised at Kyo's serious attitude, but she smiled at him and said,
"Thank you. Thank you very much." Kyo smiled back and he brought his forehead to hers and smiled at a blushing Hitoshi. She closed her eyes smiling outwardly, but in her mind, she was far from happy.
'I only wish that all that you have said had been true Kyo-kun. If only… if only life could be that perfect. If only it had been true.' After Hitoshi had finished her bath, she changed into her normal clothes, but she didn't put the bow in her hair. Kyo was waiting for her outside the room and what came out he didn't expect. Although it was a minute change, Kyo still couldn't believe it was Hitoshi. The bow had kept the true length of her hair a secret. Her hair was like a deep black river that extended past her ankle slightly and made little pools of hair covering her feet ever so slightly. Kyo stared at Hitoshi as though she was some goddess and Hitoshi stared back at him very annoyed, which finally got the old screaming, and cursing Kyo back. As Kyo was fuming in the living room, Hitoshi called Kagura inviting her over for lunch. At first Hitoshi couldn't get Kagura over, but just as Kyo was entering the room, she said that Kyo would reenact the Culture Festival if she came.
"WHAT THE HELL?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?" exclaimed Kyo into Hitoshi's face which was contorting into her angry face(which is reallllly creepy).
"DON'T YOU "WHAT THE HELL" ME YOU BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" replied Hitoshi very angry.
"WHY THE HELL DID YOU TELL THAT TO KAGURA ANYWAY?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!? YOU KNOW I HATE HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" yelled Kyo right back into Hitoshi's face. By now Hitoshi had calmed down and she replied in a much more calm voice,
"Because I need to drug her so that she won't invade on my plan. Do I make myself clear?"
"Yeah, whatever," replied Kyo frowning and turning. Hitoshi's face began to contort again, but she stopped herself by taking it out on the vegetables for lunch. Every time she chopped a vegetable, she chanted which arm or leg of Kyo's she was chopping off (he's in the room by the way). Kyo looked at Hitoshi chopping (rather decapitating) the vegetables and heard her very "creative" song causing him to melt into a little puddle on the floor. Hitoshi finally got lunch ready just as soon as Kagura burst through the front door yelling,
"KYO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kyo was resting on the kotatsu in the living room, but as soon as he heard Kagura's squeal, he shot out of the kotatsu and ran towards his room, but Kagura was way to fast for him. Kagura grabbed Kyo's waist and brought him into her chest choking him. Hitoshi had just walked in to get Kagura to come to the dining room to eat, but instead she had to pry her away from Kyo. After about an hour of yelling and fighting over whether Hitoshi should take Kyo with her to the kitchen or whether Kagura should take him with her to the dining room, Kagura silently walked to the dining room and Hitoshi dragged Kyo with her to the kitchen. Hitoshi forced Kyo to stand next to her helping her put the sleeping draught into Kagura's food. Kyo tried to put the whole vial, but Hitoshi stopped him by taking a pan and hitting him across the head.
"Say, this food is really good Hitoshi- chan!!!" exclaimed Kagura shoving mountains of food down her throat. Hitoshi tilted her head and smiled saying,
"Thank you very much Kagura- chan!!"
"Isn't the food great Kyo-kun?" questioned Kagura poking the already heavily bruised Kyo.
"Yeah, great," said Kyo without much emotion. Hitoshi looked a little disappointed, but that emotion soon disappeared as soon as saw Kagura nodding off to sleep. In a matter of minutes, Kagura was completely asleep, and Hitoshi had already gotten to work designing the clothes. Kyo walked in on Hitoshi's mad sewing frenzy watching her delicate fingers carefully, but quickly complete every stitch. Her eyes were narrowed to carefully watch the stitching so that she didn't make a mistake. For a minute, Hitoshi leaned her back on the chair and took a rest. As she was resting, she saw Kyo who was observing her intently, but was staying back. She sat up and called him closer. He came closer, and a bunch of stuff had fallen into his arms. Hitoshi pointed to him saying,
"I want you to dye your hair, change into that outfit, and put on those contact lenses. I'll take care of the rest." Kyo nodded and walked off to his room trying not to drop anything while Hitoshi continued her sewing. An hour passed and Kyo finished getting ready just as Hitoshi finished her Kagura disguise. As he opened the door, he thought Kagura was standing in front of him, but he saw the necklace and realized it was Hitoshi in a really good disguise.
"Well, Kyo, what do you think?" questioned Hitoshi turning around for him.
"You look…eerr… nice," replied Kyo blushing and looking down. Hitoshi thanked him and dragged him over to the chair at when she began to straighten his hair.
"You're hair is so spiky!!! It's annoying!" exclaimed Hitoshi as she ran the machine over Kyo's now gray hair. She took about five minutes with each chunk of hair repeatedly going over and over again until it was perfectly straight. Just when she was about finished, she accidentally let the straightener touch the skin near Kyo's neck. Kyo squealed in pain, but Hitoshi calmed him down and looked at the wound. It was bright red and a trickle of blood was coming out of the wound, but that trickle grew worse and worse.
"Aren't you going to get some ice?" questioned Kyo as Hitoshi panicked.
"No!! Were out of ice and I can't leave you in here with the blood! It could get much worse!!" exclaimed Hitoshi, "That means I have to…" Hitoshi stopped and started to blush, but she ignored it and said,
"Kyo, make sure you don't move your neck, but I want you to put your head on my lap."
"WHAT?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?" questioned Kyo jumping out of his seat. Hitoshi pushed him down and said,
"Just trust me. If I don't do anything, you might faint from the loss of blood. Now move to the floor slowly," said Hitoshi directing Kyo to the ground. Kyo sat on the ground with Hitoshi still holding his hair back from the wound. Slowly, Kyo sat down next to Hitoshi who had crossed her legs. Finally, Kyo's head made it slowly to Hitoshi's lap. Kyo lay down blushing as Hitoshi moved his hair away from the wound. Then Hitoshi moved the hair from her face and moved closer and closer to Kyo's neck until her lips were about an inch away from touching his skin. Then she gently planted her mouth onto the wound. Kyo's heart skipped a beat, but Kyo could feel a warm sensation that spread across his whole body as Hitoshi continued with the treatment (Kyo looks like a tomato on fire now with his major blushing problem). Hitoshi then lifted her lips off of Kyo's neck and gave him her hair ribbon to catch any bleeding that could happen.
"What was that anyway?" asked Kyo with his head tilted to one side as though he had a crick in his neck.
"That was a chi transfer. I used my chi to heal the vein that I burnt on your neck. I can only transfer it through my mouth and it's a new technique that I have yet to master, so your neck might bleed a little bit," explained Hitoshi as she wiped her mouth. After getting a Band-Aid for Kyo, Hitoshi put some makeup on him although she had to throw a shoe at him before she could even approach him with eyeliner. The makeup and the disguises were done and it was finally time for the banquet. Shigure had come back from the publishing office along with Tsubasha who Shigure claimed had scared his editor to the point of fainting.
"I wish you luck Hitoshi-chan!" said Tsubasha smiling and waving her student away as she directed Shigure to his room with her katana.
"Sayonara!!!!!!!" said Hitoshi as she pushed Kyo out of the door.
"Do you think they'll recognize us?" questioned Kyo trying to cover his face by using Hitoshi as a shield.
"I hope not," replied Hitoshi shooing Kyo away. They walked to the Sohma house and found Hatsuharu slouching on the doorway waiting for them. Hitoshi groaned for about a minute, but then she smiled at him politely as she walked passed him. Hatsuharu looked at her suspiciously as she calmly walked into the house. The whole house was elegantly decorated along with a miniature stage that was set for Kyo's and Hitoshi's dance. Hatsuharu then surprised both of them by asking Hitoshi and Kyo,
"Well, Kagura and Yuki, aren't you going to get ready for the dance?"
"Aagh!!! You're right!!!!!" exclaimed Hitoshi. Then she started to search around Hatsuharu as though she was looking for someone.
"Err…Kagura-san… are you looking for someone?" questioned Hatsuharu feeling very insecure.
"Where's Kyo? You were supposed to take him with you!!!!" exclaimed Hitoshi shaking Haru as though she was insane.
"I'M GOING TO KILL THAT HENTAI!!!!!!!! HE'S PROBABLY MAKING OUT WITH THAT HITOSHI GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Err…Kagura-san, we have to discuss our costumes, so come with me," said Kyo rushing Hitoshi (who was being really good at being mad) to a private corner.
"What the hell are you doing?!!?" asked Kyo as quietly as possible. Hitoshi stared at Kyo as though he was speaking a foreign language.
"What in the hell do you mean?" questioned Hitoshi right back to Kyo.
"I mean with the whole…you know!!!" said Kyo looking down and blushing.
"No I don't. Do enlighten me," said Hitoshi in a very sarcastic although she did notice the blushing.
"Oh stop being such a bitch!!" exclaimed Kyo losing all signs of red cheeks.
"I'll stop when you explain what the hell you mean!!!" said Hitoshi raising her voice.
"I'm taking about the making out!!!!!!" said Kyo. Hitoshi who was about to argue back, but she stopped in her tracks and stared at Kyo who quickly shifted his gaze to the ground and began to blush.
"Aha!!! I get it now!" said Hitoshi satisfyingly. She tried to look at Kyo, but every time she glanced at him, he would turn away until he finally sat on the ground hiding his face. Hitoshi looked a little concerned, but she sat beside him and placed a hand on top of his now gray head and said,
"Do you honestly think that I would do that? First off, no one that has any degree of common sense would ever kiss you," Kyo shot up glaring at Hitoshi, but she smiled back at him with her hand still firm on top of his head, " and second, I want you to give your first kiss with someone that you love and care about. A first kiss should be shared with someone that is kind, caring, truthful, and has the freedom of loving you, none of which belongs to me." By now Kyo was listening to Hitoshi very intently and finally came up with the courage to ask her,
"Hitoshi, have you ever been kissed?" Hitoshi was a bit startled by the questioned, but she replied anyway,
"No I haven't, and I never will be." Hitoshi stopped and stared sadly at the ground until she shot up taking Kyo along with her to change into their dance costumes. When they came out of their respective bathrooms, each looked wonderful and almost god-like. Hitoshi examined herself and turned to Kyo who was picking at his costume
"Come of it!!!!" exclaimed Hitoshi prying Kyo's hand away from the costume before it fell apart.
"Well, let's get this over with before I rip this costume off," said Kyo.
"God I don't want to see that," said Hitoshi backing away from Kyo.
"Ignoring, ignoring!!!!!" muttered Kyo gritting his teeth. Hitoshi just looked at him and laughed aggravating Kyo even more. Before Kyo could explode onto Hitoshi, Haru jumped out of nowhere and pinned Hitoshi to the wall. Hitoshi was about to kick him, but Haru grabbed her leg and squeezed it affectionately. Hitoshi was about to use her other leg, but Haru stopped her yet again (Kyo is fuming right now).
"I wouldn't do that if I were you… Hitoshi-chan," said Haru looking at seductively. First, Hitoshi was disgusted at Haru's lame attempt to get her attention, but that expression turned to surprise,
"YOU KNOW?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?"
"Yup. I'm surprised that Yuki let you do it," said Haru pointing at the Kyo/Yuki person.
"Eeer… whatever. What do I have to do to let me go?" questioned Hitoshi very seriously.
"Let me think," said Haru looking as though he was deep in thought, "you have to kiss me." Hitoshi was now about to puke with disgust, but she got even more disgusted when Haru puckered his lips in front of her face and pointed at them. Kyo meanwhile was getting very mad and was about to strangle Haru until Hitoshi put her hands around Haru's face and seductively said,
"I'll give you a kiss, but not now Haru-kun."
"It had better be great kiss then," said Haru looking disappointed.
"Don't worry Haru-kun, it'll be the biggest kiss you'll have in your life," said Hitoshi waving playfully at Haru who was looking at Hitoshi dreamily while Kyo was trying to hold back his impulses to kill Haru.
"You're gonna kiss him now?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?" yelled Kyo at Hitoshi who was getting ready to start the dance.
"No I'm not, and why do care?" questioned Hitoshi very annoyed.
"Well, that's cause… because, I.I..I," said Kyo blushing and stuttering at the same time. Hitoshi ignored the statement temporarily and moved to where Kyo and her were going to dance dragging Kyo who was still trying to get the sentence to come out correctly. As she waited for the dance to start, she saw that Kyo was still trying to get the sentence out. She put her finger on his lips and moved her head closer to Kyo's and said,
"Don't worry about it." Then, both of them were called up for their dance. The whole Sohma family went silent and awaited the dance. When then finally did start dancing, both of them were so graceful and flowing that it almost seemed like they had become a part of the wind flowing with every step. Kyo looked over momentarily at Hitoshi and instead of seeing the girl that he had fought with at the beginning, he saw a woman, a woman with a confusing past that he had yet to understand. The way she moved was almost like the quick yet gentle flapping of a dove wing, but there was something slightly different about it. Her movements almost had the strength of a dark and heavy wing of a dragon as well the steady gentle flapping of a dove's wing. When both of them did finish the dance, the family was in an uproar. Supposedly, from all of the comments that Kyo and Hitoshi had received, that was the best dance that most of them had seen in quite a while. All of the family seemed to be crowded around Hitoshi and Kyo except one member. He was standing off to one side looking blankly at Hitoshi who was smiling beside Kyo.
"That girl isn't Kagura," said the boy to a taller man who was standing beside him.
"Are you sure?" questioned the man.
"Of course I'm sure. I am Akito," said Akito stepping slightly closer towards Hitoshi.
"I want that girl to come to my room Hatori," said Akito quickly walking to his room. Hatori nodded and moved to Hitoshi.
"Kagura-san, you are to go to Akito-san's room immediately."
"Understood," said Hitoshi nodding her head. Suddenly, Kyo dragged Hitoshi from the crowd and Hatori and moved her to the corner and said,
"Do you realize what crap you're in?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?"
"Yes I do and I will take full responsibility for it," said Hitoshi happily.
"But what it he banishes you from the family?!!?" questioned Kyo desperately.
"Then I will leave. It will be for the best anyway," said Hitoshi sadly.
"But he doesn't know what's best for me and I want you to stay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" exclaimed Kyo clasping Hitoshi's hand. After his sentence, Kyo realized what he had just said and dropped Hitoshi's hand blushing. Hitoshi smiled gently and said,
"I understand that you want me to stay and I will do my best. I promise that I will try," said Hitoshi looking for Hatori to take her to Akito's room. Kyo looked at Hitoshi departing with Hatori with his heart beating quickly. He wanted to be with her every single second until Akito decided something that would send her away.
"You had better come back," whispered Kyo.
Meanwhile, back at Shigure's house, Tsubasha had locked both herself and Shigure in his room, but Shigure was still trying to get out at every chance he could get.
"Why do you even try to get out when you know it's hopeless?" questioned Tsubasha as Shigure frantically jiggled the doorknob.
"Because I know it's wrong!" exclaimed Shigure as he started to kick the door. Then Tsubasha moved from her sitting position and placed her hand on the door holding it tightly shut.
"What do I have to do to get you to leave this escape attempt alone?" questioned Tsubasha looking into Shigure's eyes.
"I want you to make love to me," said Shigure right back at her. Tsubasha's eyes widened and she started to blush as Shigure looked at her.
"Why do you want to do that?" asked Tsubasha still blushing.
"Because I love you," said Shigure moving closer to Tsubasha. She backed away slightly and asked,
"Why? You don't even know me."
"I believe that's were you're wrong. I know everything about you. Like how you get mad when nothing is done on time and how you cover half of your face with your hair…" said Shigure moving Tsubasha's hair away from her face gently.
"That's why I want to leave. It's for your student's own good," said Shigure smiling and moving to the door. Tsubasha was dumbstruck, she didn't move for about a minute, but after that, she walked towards Shigure and put both of her hands beside his head saying,
"If that is what you desire, then that is what you'll get… my love." Then she moved slowly and kissed him gently on the lips. At first Shigure was surprised, but he soon grabbed her and kissed her back passionately.
Hitoshi was now in Akito's room waiting for Akito to speak. Akito, meanwhile, was just sitting and staring at Hitoshi.
"You know, you're very pretty," said Akito.
"Thank you and why have you brought me here?" questioned Hitoshi seriously.
"Because you are not a Sohma and you aren't supposed to be here," said Akito getting up off of the floor. Hitoshi remained on the floor and replied,
"Of course I'm a Sohma."
"What garbage. Hatori told me who you were."
"So who am I?"
"You are Hitoshi Kawakami." Hitoshi stopped arguing with him and started up again saying,
"I am not. I am Kagura Sohma."
"DON'T ARGUE WITH ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" yelled Akito. He stormed over to Hitoshi, grabbed the wig and yanked on it pulling it off slowly and painfully. Hitoshi was trying to control her anger and the urge to choke Akito.
"See? You're nothing but a normal girl, a normal bitch," said Akito smiling wildly.
"TAKE THAT BACK!!!" yelled Hitoshi her eyes flaming in anger.
"Don't you want to see which zodiac member I am?" questioned Akito moving closer to Hitoshi. Hitoshi forgot all of her anger and backed away from Akito.
"Awww, the bitch is frightened," said Akito hauntingly. Suddenly, he lunged out to her and hugged her tightly. Hitoshi's eyes were wide with surprise, but soon they shut and she started to cry. Akito let go of Hitoshi and saw a white dove limp and crying in a mound of clothes. Akito looked at the dove horrified and said,
"YOU'RE A MONSTER!!!!!!!" Hitoshi looked up at Akito sadly and replied,
"You do not realize how true that sentence was."
" I want you out of this house immediately. I will come to Shigure's house when school starts to determine if you are allowed to stay in this family," said Akito staring at Hitoshi in agony. Hitoshi nodded and formed a shield with her clothes waiting for herself to change back. Kyo was getting very worried, but when Hitoshi came out, he breathed a sigh of relief and went to her asking,
"So what happened?" Hitoshi replied very darkly motioning Kyo out of the house,
"He is coming. I can no longer hide it any more."
Author's Notes
Well, this story is going as planned. I hope that you all answer the review request (four new reviews or I won't update!!!!) because I have come up with a sequel!!!! If I get enough review requests, I will do it, but if I don't well forget it!!!!! I thought I should talk about something different so I'll tell you guys how I came up with my pen name. Yuki Matsuzaka is actually a name from one of my characters in my manga (that I haven't drawn yet cause I can't draw guys and I'm lazy). I like Yuki so much (in my manga, she's a really sad character) that I decided to use her name (she probably wouldn't mind). I was trying to get the correct kanji for her name, and that was reallllly creative. I wrote down a bunch of kanji words and what I got was "hot water on a hill with pine trees." (Yuki- hot water) (Matsuzaka- hill with pine trees). I reallllllly didn't like it, so I asked my sensei (I take Japanese, it rocks, especially when sensei tries to speak English) the kanji for snow and now her name means "snow on a hill with pine trees." I liked it so much that I gave him the most kanji I could possibly get on Hitoshi, Kawakami, and Tsubasha that I gave it to him for "homework (he still hasn't given it back to me)." Well, that's the story behind my pen name!!!!!!
This is YukiMatsuzaka411, signing off!!!!!!
