Chapter Three
"Where am I" mumbled Tohru as she walked around on white fluffy clouds.
"I like this dream" she said excitedly.
"Tohru this is not a dream" said a fatherly voice behind her.
"Hello I'm Tohru Honda nice to meet you" said Tohru politely as she bowed to the man in front of her now. He was very muscular and was wearing white robes. He had blondish hair that was thinning and was turning gray.
"I know who you are my dear and I am your grandfather but I will tell you all the details you need to know later on when you're ready" said the old man.
"This is no dream in your world they call it being in a coma or something but really your soul has wandered willingly to me to find out the truth."
"The truth, what truth?" said Tohru confused.
"Tohru the last thing you said was it's the shape of a lightening bolt, I wonder what it stands for and why it is glowing" said Tohru's grandfather, and your soul came to me because I have answers for you" he said as politely as he could, he wasn't used to talking to someone as slow as she was sometimes.
"The lightening bolt is our family symbol and it was glowing because…" he was wondering if he should continue but decided to tell she even thought there was a little lie in it. "…because we used to belong in a family of gods."
"Here let me show you some of your past" said the caring man.
Tohru sat down as the sky around her became something like a screen in a theater and stared at a little girl sitting in front of a doll house with her mom and dad.
"Look mommy look, daddy you to, this is so pretty" said the bouncing little girl. "Grandpas gift was the greatest."
"Yes honey it is nice isn't it" said Tohru's mom, "but don't you want to play with all the other hundred gifts your aunts, uncles and friends gave you."
"Nope!" said the happy birthday girl "today I will play with this maybe tomorrow I will look at the others" the six year old replied.
"Darling is she sick or coming down with the flu" said Kyoto to Tohru's dad.
"No she just liked her ordinary gift it's not her fault if she doesn't want to play with her magical toys, she kind of reminds me of a human don't you think.
"Yes a smart, beautiful, adorable little human."
"No make it come back" said Tohru crying, she hadn't seen her mom laugh like that in a while and she didn't want her to go, as the screen turned into the sky again.
"Awe that is my favorite memory well partly because you liked my gift more than anyone else's" laughed the old man.
"I'm sorry Tohru I've made you cry please forgive me I just thought it would be a good idea to show you my favorite memory" said Tohru's grandfather.
"My dad" said Tohru in a soft voice.
"yes that was your dad he looked so much younger then, no like today, nope he has…oops" said the man.
Omg I just let slip that her dad was alive I hope she didn't hear me clearly.
But Tohru was to busy thinking of her parents and the scene she just saw.
"Can I see another memory from my past please" replied Tohru.
"Ok lets see this memory is a good one, it will help you to figure out your past and will help for your future" said her grandfather.
Interested Tohru looked up into the screen that once was the sky and saw her dad.
"Here my little rice ball this is a ring that will contain your powers and your glow" said Tohru's dad.
"What do you mean father" asked the confused little girl not much older than 14.
"Well since your going down to earth in a few days you need to look human."
"If you haven't noticed you glow just like all your friends and relatives here on mount Olympus. This ring will stop you from glowing and it will contain your powers when you get then sweetie."
"Cool I'm going to get powers! Superpowers" said Tohru excitedly.
"Yes honey, you will get them only if you really need them sweetie, like me I got mine when I saved your home, mount Olympus, from the titans and from Hades" said Tohru's dad.
"Well now you know some thing of your past and soon you will learn the rest but when you're ready and when the time is right" said Tohru's grandfather as the sky returned to normal.
"Tohru its time for you to go back to your body on earth now your friend are worried" said the old man.
Tohru felt like she was on a rollercoaster that was moving in slow motion as she floated down to earth.
"I wonder how Yuki and the others are right now" Tohru thought as she neared her body.
"Where is she" said Hatori, he had rushed over to Shigure's after Kyo described Tohru's symptoms over the phone.
"She's in her room" replied Yuki as he ran after Hatori to Tohru.
Yuki watched as Hatori dropped to his knees and opened his bag. Hatori then tried to wake her up but had the same success that Yuki and Kyo had. He then examined her and pulled some blood from her arm.
"I need to make sure she doesn't have a disease or anything" said the stressed out doctor.
Yuki grabbed his arm as he started to leave.
"What's wrong with her and where are you going Hatori, I need you to cure her."
"I'm sorry Yuki but Tohru is in a coma" said the saddened seahorse.
"I don't know why or how but I really need to get to the main house to check her blood."
"She's what" yelled Kyo.
"Did someone attack her last night while we were sleeping or did she have a heart attack" yelled Kyo.
"I don't know "replied Hatori as Kyo ran to the roof and silently cried for Tohru to come back to him.
"And I was supposed to keep a closer eye on her so I could save her first. Why am I never there" he said tears rolling down his face.
Meanwhile news of Tohru spread around the main house like wildfire before Hatori even got there, apparently Shigure called Aya who called Haru and the others.
"Hatori is she going to be ok" "Hatori what's wrong with her" "was she attacked Hatori" was all to be heard as the seahorse walked to his office while being bombarded with questions. Haru, Kagura, Momigi, Kisa, and Hiro went to Shigure's house together to see how Tohru was doing.
"Yay I get to skip school today" said Hiro under his breath so not to make Kisa cry even harder.
"what a pleasant surprise" said Shigure as the Sohma's ran inside and slowly tow by tow went up to see Tohru who was laying motionless, besides her breathing, on her bed. Everyone seated themselves in the living room speechless as they waited for Hatori to hopefully come back with good news. A knock at the door surprised everyone and Hatori came in looking sad. Then a scream came from upstairs.
"Wow that was some dream" said Tohru as she woke up.
"Ahhh" Tohru screamed as she looked at her alarm clock she was already three hours late for school. She quickly changed and ran downstairs before the Sohma's had time to react.
"Tohru" everybody cried and smiled and they ran to her.
"Oh hi everybody what are you all doing here and I'm late for school" said the squished and our of breath girl. Everyone just stood open mouthed at her as Yuki and Shigure told her what happened. Kyo sat next to Tohru trying hard not to let his emotions get the better of him as Tohru sat quietly.
"Well I had the strangest dream and it goes with your story but it was weird. It felt real!"
"Well we were really scared. She finally got everyone clamed down and started to make lunch.
"She looks kind of different" whispered Momigi "don't you think."
"It looks like she's sort of glowing."
But nobody answered him even though they noticed. They were still in shock from that morning.
"Tohru I want to talk to you a minute" said Hatori as he walked into the kitchen where Tohru was cooking.
"Ok" she said.
"I think that you left your body Tohru and then came back" said the seahorse "am I correct."
Tohru hung her head and answered "I really don't know Hatori, but my dream was comforting."
