Authors Notes:Hello again. I know i said i wouldn't update without 5 reviews, but i decided, frell it. I want to work on this story for myself, if you review, your super and i love ya. if not, then i'm neutral :).I want to thank everyone who's reviewed again, i really appreciate it. I want to also give a shout out to my newest review, Sango17. Thanks for your kind words, they are most appreciated.:)

This chapter wasn't quite what i origionally planned. I was going to have there be an elebartore dialogue scene where Tohru had to convince them who she was. I decided it was dragging the story and we needed to get to the action. So i simply wrote up a description of her telling them her memeories of the night of Kyo's transformation. For you Dungeons and Dragons plasyers reading, think of it as simply rolling a Bluff check as opposed to roleplaying the interaction out. Hopefully Tohru rolled a Natural 20 :P. Anyway, hope you enjoy and i'll see you on the next one.

Chapter 6:

Silence. All that filled the room was silence. It was the kind of silence you could hear a pin drop In. Not surprising really, when one considers the magnitude of what had just been revealed. The unknown women had just revealed that she was in fact Tohru Honda, only from 30 years in the future, come back in time to prevent a air. Frankly the Sohmas are taking it much better than I would have. Finally, one of them decides to break the awkward silence with a question, one that makes perfect sense to ask, and of course the one to ask it is Kyo.

"What the hell are you talking about? Are you high?" Yup, leave it to Kyo to cut straight to the point. It would appear as if the Tohru from the future had been expecting a similar reaction, because all she could do was just start grinning from cheek to cheek. "You are exactly like I remember Kyo. I knew that would be how you would react" she said, laughing all the while. Of course this didn't help Kyo's mood any. Figuring it was best to cut straight to the point she said" ok calm down Kyo. Look I'm not nuts or some crazy con women. I am Tohru Honda, the same person who's sitting right over there" and she pointed at her younger self, who up to this point had been trying to stay out of sight, trying to comprehend what was happening. She sighed and thought to herself I need to speed this up. Time to roll the dice I suppose.

'Ok look. I wish we had more time, time to run tests and other stuff like that, but I don't have time, and I need your help if my mission is to succeed. I need you to believe that I am who I say I am. So here's what we do. You decide on a question, something only the real Tohru would know. If I can answer it, you agree to gather the others, and listen to my story. If not, I leave and you never hear from me again, and the future will proceed as planned, to the ruin of all" Ok maybe I bit dramatic, and a little bit like something Galadriel might say but I'm on a time crunch

Kyo thought about this for a second, and looked over at Shigure and Yuki. They hadn't said anything, but Shigure nodded in approval and Yuki said "Very well, we accept your challenge. We will come up with a question." And with that the four of them left. With a sigh, Tohru clicked on her communicator. "Rice ball to Bones, come in"

'Bones here" said the familiar voice. "I've made contact. They have not accepted me at face value, as i predicted. I agreed to answer a question about my past to convince them." Silence. She hated the silence, she meant that Hatori knew she had done something really stupid and was trying to comprehend it. He had done it enough time when talked to Shigure. "Ok Hari, you can stop with the silence, I'm not Shigure. I know it wasn't the smartest move. Hell they could throw a real curveball on me, but hopefully it will be something I can remember. I mean it's not like I've had amnesia, I still remember the times before the war, just not as easily as I used to." She felt almost like she was justifying the plan to herself. "Whatever you think is best Captain. Shall we proceed to rendezvous at the house?" "Affirmative. If this fails, I may need you guys to help me. I promised them I would leave if I couldn't answer the question, but I know I can't do that. Get here as soon as you can. All of you. Make sure to cloak the camp and leave monitoring sensors." "Affirmative. We will meet you at Checkpoint 1 in approximately 20 minutes. Bones, over and out" and with a click the transmission ended. Her timing was perfect as just then the Sohmas and her younger self came back into the room. All sat down around the table and looked at her. Shigure said" Well 'Tohru', we've decided that we want you to tell us….about Kyo's transformation"

There were two parts of her at that moment. One that was happy that they had chosen something she remembered vividly and could never forget. The other part was hurting at having to drag up such painful memories. I think that's why they choose it. They're not stupid. The question is as much about my reactions as it is my words. And so she began to tell them everything that happened, right down to the final visit to Akito. She made sure to take around 20 minutes so that the others could arrive. When she was done, all she could do was wait and see if she had convinced them. Yuki got up and walked over to her. And he took her hand. He looked at it, as if was examining it for something. Then he said the words she had been hopping for. "It really is you isn't it Miss Honda?" She couldn't help but smile and grab him, forgetting about the curse. Sure enough it was the familiar poof, a sound she hadn't heard for 25 years. After making sure that Yuki was all set, she jumped up and ran over to Kyo, to do the same. Without a yell of protest, he to transformed. All Shigure could do was laugh. He got up laughing, figuring he was next, but then she stopped and turned tom look at him. He saw a look in her eyes he had never seen before; hate, hate and anger. If she was telling the truth about coming from the future, it was obvious something had happened. Thankfully the awkward silence was broken by the doorbell. 'Drat they're here. Kyo, Yuki, you guys had better go upstairs and get dressed. Tohru…" she looked over and realized that she was actually speaking to her younger self for the first time. It was a weird sensation, talking to yourself. She shook her head and snapped back to reality" can you please take care of the boys?" She knew she could count on… well herself to do what needed to be done. With a nod she grabbed and rat, cat and a pile of clothes she went upstairs. The older one went to the door and opened it. Standing there were the rest of her team. Shigure looked over her shoulder and said "Hatori?" He was a bit surprised to see his friend decked out in some kind of military ensemble. Tohru however couldn't let them get reacquainted yet.

'Glad to see you guys made it ok. Take a seat, we got some time until the others come" She turned to Shigure and said' For the sake of time, I want to get the entire Zodiac in one room before I explain what's going on. ALL of them, including Kureno" She knew it was a tall order to get Kureno out of the Main House without Akito knowing but there was no way for the plan to work without all of them. And she still couldn't shake her feeling that they weren't alone. "I know it's going to be tough but I trust you Shigure. Call them all, and get them here. Then I promise I will tell everyone why I am here, and what I can do for you." Shigure nodded, as if he understood what she was talking about, and went into his office to make some phone calls. She then turnd back to Haru and Momiji "Pick up anything" Momji grimaced and said "Yeah boss. They're sent some through. Wither they came from our base or another machine we don't know. It's a pretty small group. I was able to collect this" He was holding in his hand a small device, an digital audio and video recorder An image appeared, and showed a group of sodiers massing in a clearing in the woods. She could recognize the leader. "Kureno" she said, and the others nodded. It was as they had feared. The enemy had made their won time travel device, despite intelligence to the contrary. And Akito had sent back his own second in command, most likely to try and convince the Akito of this time to take the command. The machines of the army were programmed to acknowledge Aktio as their master. If the one of this time got control of them, then they may have only succeeded in bringing their future to bear quicker. And without the Zodiac having the powers they would have acquired. She turned to the others and said" OK, it's a setback, but we make the best we can. Right now Shigure is getting the entire Zodiac here. They will most likely make for the Main House. We will intercept, and prevent them from taking Akito" The others nodded and as Shigure made his calls, they sat and planned out how they would save the future.
