Disclaimer: I do not own any of the ふるば characters. All I own is Shaloub Annelise and the plot. I will be adding more characters, but I haven't gotten there and I don't know what I'll name them.
Warning: My computer is not very good and every time I try to slip any Japanese in, it shows as the Hiragana/Kanji forms. In order to add the Romaji form, I h a v e t o w r i t e t h e w o r d s l i k e t h i s. So if there isn't a Romaji form for the Japanese word, ignore it.

Chapter Five: 夜夜中 Yoroyonaka Midnight
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hmm, I thought you'd be up here," Annelise said, smiling with a large plate of food in her hand.
"ARGH!" Kyo yelled, nearly falling off the rood. "How did you know I'd be here?"
"I heard you," Annelise shrugged, walking slowly across the roof.
She set the plate down next to Kyo and sat down. She picked up two sets of chopsticks and handed a set to Kyo.
"Eat it," she demanded, partially mocking him. "There's enough for both of us…"
"Tohru didn't make that much!" Kyo said, looking half-surprised, half-angered.
"I know…"
Annelise picked up an onigiri and bit into it. She pointed at Kyo and then pointed at the food. She swallowed and said, "Eat. Now."
He picked up his chopsticks and began to eat. It tasted so good since he was so hungry.
"Why did you do this?" he asked, his mouth full of お好み焼き/okonomiyaki/a pancake-like 'pizza'.
Annelise shrugged.
"Everyone needs to eat," she said simply.
She is very mysterious…She seemed to be glowing in the Moonlight as the full moon began to sink down even so slowly. Maybe because her bright tattoos seemed to suck all of the Moon's light and shine as brightly as the stars.
She looks like a star… Kyo chuckled aloud to himself.
"What?" Annelise asked, bemused, her mouth full of rice as she finished off her onigiri.
"Nothing," Kyo sighed, picking at a small piece of 焼き鳥/yakitori/grilled chicken.
"You want to hear an Angelic Shinosawian myth?" Annelise asked softly.
"Shinosawian?"
"The Angels of the Sun are the Shinosawian Angels in ancient Angelic mythology," she explained.
"Eh…sure," Kyo sighed.
"Along time ago, the Tuholisein Angels, the Angels of the Moon, and the Shinosawian Angels got into a war."
She suddenly stopped. She smiled at Kyo her eyes twinkling darkly.
"I should explain something first about the Tuholisein Angels and the Shinosawian Angels," she sighed. "It comes from another ancient Angelic myth… Tuholisey and Shinosawa were two Angelic gods who were brothers. One personified the Moon, Tuholisey, and the other personified the Sun, Shinosawa. That's were the names came from… They constantly fought. Their mother, Hanasilani, the goddess of the Angels, separated the days, making day and night. Hanasilani is like the 'mother' of all Risen Angels… Still, with the separation, the god of the Moon and the god of the Sun still fought. You must understand that the Angels of the Moon were and still are physically stronger that the other Angels, yet not too smart. The Angels of the Sun were the opposite… They're weak, but smart…"
"So that explains why you are so muscular!" Kyo laughed, wondering what she meant by 'all Risen Angels', however, deciding against asking her about it.
Annelise smiled awkwardly, her cheeks pinking the slightest amount in the dim twilight. She sighed and shook her head. Kyo realized that there was another reason.
"Anyways… So, the reason for the war was because the Shinosawian Angels had enslaved the Tuholisein Angels for hundreds of years… Horrible enslavement… They captured them by stealing them in their sleep… However, some of the Tuholisein Angels remained in Tuholisein territory and others escaped. The Tuholisein army was made of one hundred Angels while the Shinosawian army was made of one thousand. Even though the Shinosawian Angels are weaker, there are always individualists in a race…"
Kyo noticed something funny about how she said that. Could she be an individualist in her race? Could the enslavement struggle still be going on?
"The Tuholisein Angels performed a stunt much like what the Trojan Horse.
"The Shinosawian Angels are very pale while the Tuholisein Angels are rather dark. One girl among the escaped slaves was half Shinosawian and half Tuholisein. She was remarkable pale… She disguised herself as a Tuholisein Angel slave trader. She said to the Shinosawian Angels that she had captured a group of Tuholisein Angels escaping from the capital city of the Shinosawian territory called Hinosila. The ninety-nine pure Tuholisein Angels were tied and armed, however, the Shinosawian Angels had no idea that they were armed nor were the weapons detectable…
"What was the girl's name?" Kyo asked. "Or did she not have a name?"
"She has a name… Her name is Fuwala dela Olisiginiley." She smiled. "She's part of my family…along with Fuwala ladu Solonokani. He is the general of the Tuholisein Angel Slave Army."
Is? Are they still around?
"So they pulled Olisiginiley, Solonokani, and the rest of the army into the gates of Hinosila. The army attacked… The Shinosawian army pulled out, but the slaves cleared them out easily. Olisiginiley and Solonokani had awakened an ultimate weapon that all Angels have, but to different strengths. At the time, the Tuholisein Angels were the only ones to awaken it, giving power to every Tuholisein Angel…
"After they had taken over Hinosila, they freed all of the Tuholisein Angels and gave the capital back to the Shinosawian Angels. However, so many Shinosawian Angels died, the Tuholisein Angels had to find a way to bury them. So they put their bodies in the night sky and that's why there are stars."
"Why did they give it back?" Kyo asked angrily.
"The Tuholisein Angels can't rule over the Shinosawian Angels!" Annelise laughed. "No Angel can rule over another!"
"Then how come the Shinosawian Angels could enslave you guys?" Kyo asked, trying to understand the ways of the Angelic people.
"That's not truly ruling," Annelise sighed. "It's wrong, but it's not ruling…just enslaving…"
Annelise looked down. Her usual rather happy aura drooped.
"Anne?"
"What?" Annelise looked back up, a funny look on her face. "What did you call me?"
"A-Anne," Kyo gulped, worried that he was being offensive to her.
A small smile slowly came on her face, "I haven't been called that in a while…"
"I'm sorry… I shou–"
"Sorry?" Annelise asked. "Why? I like being called Anne. My father used to call me 'Anne', 'Annie', 'Annester', and other names like that."
"Annester?" Kyo asked. "What the heck?"
She laughed, "Yah. He used to call me that when I was five!"
"What did your mother call you?" he asked.
She sort of got quiet.
"I don't remember much of her…"
"I should stop asking, shouldn't I?" Kyo whispered.
An odd silence fell between the two of them. Behind them, the Moon was disappearing as in front of them, the Sun was rising.
"You must hate the light," Kyo joked, interrupting the silence. "All because of the Shinosawian Angels!"
"The Angels of the Sun are disgusting," Annelise growled. "They are poor-tempered, evil, and are hateful. They think they are the greatest because they are smartest, but I disagree. You need feelings… They lack feelings, emotions, love…
"But I think we should go down… The Sun is rising and we don't want Yuki, Shigure, and Tohru to worry."
"I bet you ten hundred yen that they are already worrying!" Kyo snapped.
"DEAL!"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yuki yawned widely as he walked down from his room and into the kitchen. The light was bright in the room, which smelled amazing. He rubbed his eyes, trying to adjust to the brightness.
"Oh! お早うございます! Ohayougozaimasu! Good morning!" a cheerful voice called to him.
"Shaloub-san?" he said, half into a yawn.
"Oh, Shaloub-san is so formal!" she sighed. "You don't have to call me by that all the time!"
"Annie-kun's in a good mood," another voice sighed.
"Honda-san?"
Yuki still couldn't see clearly. He was mainly determining people by their voices. He's sight began to clear.
Kyo and Tohru were standing, watching Annelise make breakfast. They were all staring at Yuki in amusement.
"Don't like the morning do you?" Annelise laughed.
"Eh? Not really," he yawned again. "Why isn't Honda-san making breakfast?"
"Anne nearly attacked her when Tohru simply tried to help," Kyo explain. "She's refusing to let anyone else cook any meals today while she's in the house."
"You might have to rely on Tohru-kun for lunch today, though," Annelise said over her shoulder as she continued with her cooking. "I have to pick up the rest of my things at my old house!"
"Someone should go with you," Shigure said, appearing at the entrance of the kitchen.
Everyone nearly jumped three feet into the air.
"CAN'T YOU TELL SOMEONE WHEN YOU JUST APPEAR?" Kyo screeched at him.
"Kyo? Yuki? Which one of you will go?" Shigure asked.
"I'll go," Yuki volunteered. "I would like to see Shalo-eh… Annie-kun's old home."
"Thanks!" Annelise said, smiling widely. "The woods are really pretty. I've never seen such a beautiful place."
"Also," Shigure said loudly, "Tohru-kun will need to make an extra lunch!"
"Why?" she asked.
"Let's just say Kyo might want to run."
"WHAT?" Kyo exploded. "WHY IS SHE COMING?"
"Ah!" Tohru squealed. "She is?"
"HOW CAN YOU BE HAPPY?"
"Eh? Who?" Annelise asked.
"Sohma Kagura," Yuki sighed.
"They are going to get married!" Tohru said happily.
"A wedding!" Annelise laughed. "I love weddings! I want to go! I better be invited!"
"I'M NOT GETTING MARRIED TO HER!" Kyo shouted.
"Aw… Why?" Annelise asked.
"I ONLY AGREED TO HER WHEN SHE THREATENED ME WHEN WE WERE LITTLE!" he yelled. "SHE HAD A KNIFE!"
"I still think you should get married," Annelise mused aloud. "Wait! She's another Sohma, right? What would happen with the whole–"
"Two members of the opposite sex from the Zodiac can hug without transforming," Shigure said.
"Oh! That's good!" Annelise sighed. "So when is she coming? I want to meet Kagura-san!"
"NO, YOU DON'T! WHY IS SHE EVEN COMING?"
"She coming around lunchtime," Shigure told them. "She's coming because of Annie-kun."
"Me?" Annelise asked in the middle of filleting a fish. "What about me?"
"She's worried that someone's in the way of her little Kyo-kun!" Shigure laughed. "She thought Tohru was out to steal him, also!"
"静か に! SHIZUKA NI! SHUT UP!"
Annelise began to laugh as she continued to fillet the fish, removing the meat off the spine and cutting off the skin.
"Well, I'll be able to meet her, right?" she asked.
"She won't leave until she meets you," Yuki sighed.
"Eh? Well, that's perfect! I would love to meet her!" she said. "Breakfast will be done in a few minutes. You guys go do something while I'm finishing. After this, Yuki and I will have to leave."
The four of Yuki, Kyo, Tohru, and Shigure, turned and left without another word…
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Thank you so much, Yuki!" Annelise laughed, smiling widely.
Yuki and Annelise were walking down a long dirt road on the way to Annelise's old home. She had a bag on her wrist to hold all of her clothes and other items as she spun, singing happily.
"Eh? Oh, no problem!" Yuki said smiling. "I have to see where 妹ちゃん/imoutochan/younger sister used to live!"
Annelise laughed, smiling more widely than ever.
"Now, I have thirteen brothers and sisters!" she chuckled.
"You have brothers and sisters…thirteen brothers and sisters?" Yuki asked interestedly.
"オフコース! Of course!" Annelise laughed. "They're my half-sisters and my half-brothers…and then you! Chase is thirteen, Kimberly is eight, Alex is five, May is four, and Sarah is two!"
"Wow… Wait, half-siblings?"
"Yes, I have a very complicated family… And then I have seven Angelic brothers and sisters!"
"How do you deal with that?" Yuki asked, almost feeling sorry for Annelise.
"Oh, I usually visit them for holidays or they visit me, but I haven't seen them in a while. In fact, last time I saw Sarah, she was a newborn! Chase was eleven, Kim-Kim was six, Alex was three, and May was two!"
"What about your Angelic siblings?"
"There's Hanasia, Leylasia, Jolasu, Kaneysu, Manisia, Ogalasia, and Dulasu. Hana is my twin, Leylasia is fourteen, Jolasu is ten, Kaneysu is eleven, Manisia is eight, Ogalasia is a newborn, and Dulasu is eighteen."
"おやおや/Oyaoya/My goodness!" Yuki laughed. "That's a lot!"
"Eh? Really?" Annelise asked. "Oh! We're here!"
It front of them stood the large, dark forest.
