Another Onigiri Tale

Chapter 2: Facility

Plot by: The Can-Can group

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Tohru's eyes fluttered open. For a moment, she was comatose as the bright light coming from the lights of the underground rebels camp flooded into her small tent through the mesh window.

"Tohru? Are you coming?" Uo's voice fluttered through the crack between the flaps leading into her tent.

There was something special about that day, Tohru figured, since her friend, Uotani Arisa, would never try to meet up with her that early in the morning.

"We've got a surprise for you, but we can't do that if you aren't there for you to be surprised."

Surprise? Surprise… Surprise… Now, what would be so special about a day that you would need a surprise for it?

"I think she forgot what today was." Hanajima Saki's airy voice joined in. Both of her friends were there, at her tent, talking about something that only they know and that Tohru, apparently, had forgotten about.

"You think so?"

There wasn't a reply so Tohru assumed that the dark haired girl had nodded in response.

"It's your birthday!" Uo cried out in apparent irritation. "Your seventeenth! How can anyone forget that?"

With a rush of furry, Tohru got out of bed with her pajamas still on, ran to the front entrance of the tent, and pulled the two flaps back so that she could take in the view of her surprised friends. Uo looked a little shocked and slightly scared at the abrupt entrance of Tohru. Hana, on the other hand, had a ghost of a smile on her face. "Is it really today?" Tohru asked, slightly hyper.

The two girls nodded (Uo looking dumbfounded more then anything). With a huge grin on her face, Tohru raced back into the tent, all the while shouting, "MOM!"

"Mom! Its my birthday!" She yelled out happily as she collapsed in front of the picture of the deceased Kyoko. Picking up the frame, Tohru hugged it closely to her body, like she would if her mother really was there, in front of her. Smiling with a few drops of tears coming out of the sides of her eyes, she looked at the picture and it seemed to grin back at her. "Thanks, mom," she muttered to the picture.

The picture still was the Id that was issued out to everyone in the camp (with Kyoko's own picture on it, of course). Tohru had received a frame from someone the year before and decided to put her mom in the frame, that way, she would be protected better then if she allowed the plastic covering to do that particular job.

"You coming?" Uo asked as she peered into the tent, checking in on her friend, making sure that she didn't hurt herself or anything.

Tohru hastily put the frame back on top of the bookcase. "I'll be ready in a minute," she chirped and grabbed her clothes from the folded pile next to her futon. Uo nodded, satisfied with the answer, and pulled her head back, giving Tohru the privacy she needed.

Moments later, the girl with the brown colored hair and the warm, milk chocolate eyes, exited the tent in an excited manner. Her two friends were stationed just outside the tent, Uo glaring at passer-bys and Hana with her eyes closed, as if ignoring the world around her.

"Ready?" Uo asked with an eyebrow raised.

"Yes," Tohru nodded with a slight bow. "I am humbly ready for any surprise you might have for me."

Uo grinned as she moved a piece of her bleached hair out of the way of her eyes. "Then surprising we shall do." She turned around and headed down a pathway with the other two following close behind.

People waved at Tohru, some even wishing her a "happy birthday" as they went about their own average days. A lot of the people felt sorry for her when her mother died two years ago, some even offered her the chance to live in their tents so that she wouldn't be alone all the time. However, she politely declined, explaining that she would prefer to live in the same tent that she had always lived in, and where her memories of her mom were. It made Tohru happy, though, to have everyone worrying about her so much.

"This way," Uo instructed as she turned down another path. Tohru blinked. The path was awfully familiar, it lead to something, something that she had visited just the week before, but she couldn't remember what it was.

A hand gently touched her shoulder. Tohru paused in her walking as she turned her head to see Hana. "I forgot to mention happy birthday to you," the serene looking girl said, a hint of a smile on her face.

Tohru smiled brightly back. "Thanks. Just hearing you say that, means very much to me."

"Yo! Are you guys coming or what?" Uo shouted irritably. She waited for the other two to catch up to her before continuing.

A few more turns onto different paths lead them to the canal filled with lazy moving water. A few feet away from it a picnic was laid out, complete with the basket filled with food and the blanket. "Thank you so much!" Tohru hugged her two friends. For a long time, she has always wanted to have a picnic on the surface instead underneath it. Granted, they couldn't go to the surface and risk exposure, but it's the thought that counts.

One grinned and the other smiled as they took out the food and placed them onto the blanket. It was a tad uncomfortable, sitting on the slabs of stone that made up the ground of the camp, but that didn't stop them from enjoying it to the fullest.

"Megumi," Hana said after sipping tea from a thermos cap. "Says that he gave you a curse of good luck. He says that 'it will take about a day for it to come into effect, but when it does, you'll find that everything will go your way.'" Megumi, unlike his sister who uses Poison waves to basically "see" what people are feeling and even put images into their heads, he can curse people just by knowing their names. He uses two types of curses, the good type where good things happen, and the bad type, where bad things happen to you.

Out of the two siblings, Hana is more powerful. When she was younger, she could "hear" peoples' inner voices, the ones that can't say anything, even though there is something strong they have to say. About four or five years ago, she had finally learned how to block them out so that the voices won't get into her head when she doesn't want them to.

"I should've brought mom with me," Tohru mumbled regrettably.

"Don't worry about it," Uo replied, patting the girl on her back. "She would've wanted you to have fun and not worry about it."

Tohru nodded, even though she was still doubtful about it.

Uo was from the surface, just like Kyoko was, and was even more of a punk then her. It was Kyoko that had invited the troubled Arisa into the camp, saying that it would help her get past some of her problems. Uo was reluctant about it, probably thinking that it was too good to be true, however, after hearing the story of Kyoko's troubled teens, she decided to give the camp a try and had stayed ever since.

"Its very faint," said Hana, getting into the conversation. "But, I can fell your mother. She's proud of you."

"Thanks, you guys," Tohru smiled happily for the two of them. "This has been the best, ever."

"No probs," Uo replied with a grin on her face.

"You are most welcome," Hana nodded in agreement.

The rest of the morning flowed on by as the three friends chatted and talked about this and that, and being actual teenagers for once, instead of rebels. It was rare for them to have days like this, them having fun and all. The last time that they had a day like that one was a few months earlier. Most of the time, they are helping around the camp and with the cause. They really had barely any time to say "hi" to each other if they were to meet out along the streets of the camp.

"I've got to get going," Uo announced after checking her watch. "There's a meeting I need to get to."

They cleaned up the picnic area and headed in different directions after saying their goodbyes.

Tohru walked through the camp, allowing the smells of the dinners being made to attack her senses. Most of the foods that they were allowed to eat were things that didn't need to be cooked (it was a rare treat to have cooked meats) or things that were smoked. The reason why they can't cook foods is because of the fires that would be used to make them, the smoke would need ventilation, or they could get monoxide poisoning from the harmful chemicals. In addition, since electricity was very limited in the camp (used manly for the lights and the third rate computers) ovens couldn't be used.

To compensate, the women of the camp would soak vegetables and other produce in water with various spices and herbs, which would be diffused into the vegetables (through the process of osmosis) and end up giving an enhanced flavor. Another result was a very slight smell that could make any man's mouth water in anticipation.

"Honda!"

"Yes?" Tohru asked, seeing one of the older women who assigned jobs to the other women of the camps. The woman was in her middle ages with her hair all ready starting to grey from her aging. The lady was strict, but nice at the same time, she always knew if someone was working that day or if they had nothing to do. She was one of the ladies to help Tohru after her mother died.

"You're not doing anything to day." Most definitely a statement. "I'm going to need you to clean up after dinner."

Tohru nodded. Dinner wouldn't be for another few hours, so that would mean she would have plenty of time to do other stuff. "Sure."

"Thanks," the woman smiled lightly before going off to yell at another woman who was adding too much oregano to one of the pots.

First thing first, Tohru needed to go check to see if there were any changes to her mission for the next day. The place to do that would be the tent were the HQ club used to be (her mom didn't say what the HQ stood for), which was in the center of the camp. After her mother died, the team that used to reside there split up and left the tent for the council's use.

Since she was all ready in the heart of the camp, it was only a hop and skip to get to the tent.

Inside of the tent, there were a few people bustling around as they talked into radios and typed things onto the computers. Others were running in and out of the tent as they went to deliver messages and what not to other areas.

A man at the table looked up at Tohru as soon as she entered the tent. He was one of the council members, he generally was the one to oversee the operations in that tent, and made sure that everything goes smoothly. "You here to check? Am I correct?"

Tohru nodded, she was slightly nervous at talking with such a high-ranking official. "It's an honor to talk to you, sir." Tohru said, feeling slightly smaller then normal.

"You don't need to be so formal," The man replied. He picked up a folder and opened it. After reading the contents, he shut it close and looked back at her. "Just need to check up on their progress with the Zodiac project, nothing major."

The Zodiac project was perhaps the most notorious thing that the whole entire Foundation was working on. The council wasn't sure what was going on with the project, except that there was a family whose lives were destroyed because of it. Tohru's job was manly to check up on the Facility's progress on it. They gave her the job mostly because the council thought that she might've inherited some of Katsuya's and Kyoko's skills. However, she was too kind to do the job, so they just made her keep an eye on things.

"Okay," replied Tohru. Bowing, she left the tent, entering the busy camp.

Now that was out of the way, Tohru had nothing else to do until after dinner. That spelled boredom for her. The only thing that came to mind was the laundry, which she had done a week earlier, at the canal were she was at with her friends that morning. Seeing that's the only thing that she could do, Tohru headed back to her tent.

"I'm home," Tohru announced, pulling back the flaps so that she could enter. "We had fun today." Her mother seemed to grin even more in response.

The dirty pile was placed in the far corner of the tent, opposite of the clean pile that way the two piles wouldn't intermingle with each other. Grabbing a bag, she stuffed it with the dirty laundry, gathered soap, and re-exited the tent.

She walked along the familiar route to the canal, the same route that she and her mom would take when laundry day would come around. Whenever they had to do the laundry, her mom would get hyper and start splashing Tohru, which would end in a huge water fight and the laundry not being done.

Tohru smiled sadly at the memory. Even though it had been two years since her mother's death, it felt like yesterday. Before she went into a downward spiral, Tohru brushed everything from her mind and focused on the task.

Without realizing it, her feet had brought her to the canal where others were doing their laundry or cleaning other stuff.

Picking a spot, Tohru bent down and dumped the bag of clothes onto the stone ground. Humming to herself, she got to work on scrubbing the soap into the cloths and rinsing it out so that there's no residue from the soap left. Once all that was done, she hung the clothes along the complementary clothesline, where they would hang till they're dry, which would take a day to do. In the camp, no one is allowed to steal from someone else since any crimes like that would create tension (which is something that they really don't need), which is why she would leave the clothes there; no one would dare to ruin the delicate harmony of the camp.

Humming to herself, Tohru went back to the main area, where dinner was just getting started.

People lined up in front of tables with vats and plates of various foods. It took several minutes for her to get to the front of the line and by that time, her stomach was (embarrassingly) growling out loud in hunger. "Corn, please," Tohru asked the woman who was serving.

Nodding, the woman used tongs to pick up the aforementioned vegetable. Placing it onto a plate, the woman said, "Here you go. Next!"

Slinking away, Tohru went to a secluded area where she could eat in peace. A few minutes later, a tired Arisa joined her.

"Man," Uo said as she took a seat with a plop. "I'm beat. I had to help get some food from above and help serve. Not exactly the greatest fun."

Tohru smiled as she bit into the corn-on-the-cob.

"What did you do today?" Uo asked after getting over her slight rant.

"I went to check to see what I have to do tomorrow and I washed my laundry," replied Tohru, finishing up the corn.

"Good luck with that."

The two chatted for a little bit, until someone came saying that Tohru needs to get going with the dishes. "I'll see you tomorrow," Uo yawned as they split ways.

……………

The next morning found Tohru asleep in her futon with her alarm clock going off like crazy. Peeking at the numbers displayed on the ringing clock, Tohru shut it off and got out of the warm comfort of the bed. Searching around the clean clothes pile, she found the uniform that she would need for her mission of the day.

Putting the outfit on and putting her hair up in two braids, she left the tent. Her feet carried her to the HQ tent where she would receive a radio to keep contact and any other info that she might need.

"Tunnel three is safe," one of the security watchers, announced, looking away from the screen for only a moment before going back to it.

"Okay, thank you."

Tohru left after that, heading to the said tunnel, which would bring her to an alley between a floral shop and a bar that was a few blocks away from the Facility. Her flat heels tapped on the stones and echoed through the dark and dank tunnel. Her eyes adjusted to the little amount of light just as she reached the end. Fumbling around, Tohru found the keypad were she entered her number, which would release the mechanism and allow her to leave the underground area.

Breathing in the semi-fresh air, Tohru smiled. She always had enjoyed the rare treat of having real sunlight hitting her face and air that wasn't circulated poorly.

Regaining herself, Tohru exited the alley, after checking to make sure that there wasn't anyone there to see her merge from basically out of nowhere.

It was a Monday in the city of Old Tokyo. People were out and about, trying to get to work before they become late. Mothers dragged their sleepy children from one errand to the next and traffic was flowing as smoothly as it could in a huge city. These are one of the things Tohru secretly desired, being on the surface with everyone else and not have to worry about anyone getting killed whilst on a mission.

Tohru frowned at the thought. In reality, she should be grateful, she has two great friends and her life is somewhat exciting, she really has no room to complain.

The Facility loomed in front of her. Such an imposing building, Tohru thought as she entered, smiling at the guards. Containing many secrets and conspiracies made it even more mysterious.

It was up to her to help figure out what's going on inside the large building.

……………

Three hours passed.

Tohru's "job" was working the Customer Service desk where she would help point people in the right direction with a friendly smile on her face. The point was to make the place seem normal and not some building with terrible things going on behind the scenes.

One man in particular caught her eye. He was looking around, searching for something, no doubt, and seemed to give up. She watched as he walked up to her desk, looking nervous about something. He told her that he was a specialist from somewhere and even looked in his briefcase for a moment to tell her that he was there for SY-1743.

Tohru could feel her smile fall a little. There was supposed to be someone coming from Washington, but that wasn't for another week. She asked for his ID and as he gave the rectangular plastic to her, he seemed to become even more nervous looking.

She slid the card through the scanner. The results popped onto the screen. After looking at it for a moment to see if the picture that was on the screen looked like the guy in front of her she smiled and told him that they weren't expecting him for a while.

The guy looked relieved at her words and asked her were the project was at. Smiling, she gave him the room number and watched as he left. However, something was odd about his wing, there was a piece of orange hair sticking out amongst the brown strands.

"How odd," muttered Tohru.

Taking out her radio and turning the volume down very low, she tapped a message (via Morse code, a very ancient form of communication) to the HQ tent, explaining what just happened. She waited a few moments for someone to check the databases about anything on "Dr. Aki." A few minutes later, a series of very tiny beeps told her that the Dr. Aki that just arrived is an imposter. The beeps also told her that one of the Junnishi escaped the night before.

Tohru had to turn the radio off before the message could be finished, one of her "employers" walked by, and it wouldn't do to have her position compromised.

The message was lost, however, the beeps gave her enough info to put two and two together, coupled with the fact that she was sure that the orange hair was natural and no one else had hair like that. The imposter "Dr. Aki" is in fact an imposter. Tohru raised an eyebrow in confusion at herself, she said "imposter" twice…

Shrugging Tohru told her boss that she was going to go and take her break.

……………

"Crap," Kyo swore as the scientist brought out a gun.

"You know," The scientist said softly as he regarded the weapon in his hand. "You Junnishi really do have such beautiful looks. Ever since I have laid my eyes on your little cousin over there," Kyo growled and Yuki looked slightly sick, "I've wanted to surround myself in your family's radiance." He took a step closer, lust filling his eyes as Kyo took a step back and bumped into Yuki's table/ bed.

"I will own every single one of your family," The scientist whispered, an evil smile growing on his face.

"Idiot," Yuki muttered, getting Kyo's attention while he kept an eye on the enemy in front of him. "Get me out of these straps."

Kyo lowered confused eyebrows. "How?" He asked back.

Yuki tilted his head towards a console next to where he was lying. "Just press the blue button."

Quicker then the scientist could keep up with, Kyo rounded to the other side of Yuki and pressed the button as his cousin had instructed. The buckles unlocked themselves with a "snap" and the leather straps were reeled into the grooves along the side of the bed.

Kyo watched as Yuki stood up to his full height and gave such a chilling glare at the scientist. "I might be just a tad rusty," Yuki commented, as the scientist seemed to pale. "However, this should be just enough to cause at least some damage."

With a blink of an eye, Yuki was all ready half way to the scientist and with another blink, the distance was closed and the man was sent flying. Yuki turned to Kyo. "Is there anything you'd like to add?"

Clenching his hands, Kyo walked up to the struggling scientist, and punched him in the stomach so hard that blood dribbled out of the sides of his mouth. "There's nothing beautiful about us!" Kyo shouted in pure anger. "We are cursed bastards, so twisted and ugly you can't even imagine!" His hand unconsciously went to the blood red and white beads that make up the bracelet on his wrist.

"Come, stupid cat," Yuki ordered, heading out of the room that he had been in for so long.

Growling and grudgingly, Kyo followed after the rat.

Yuki stopped in front of him, causing Kyo to bump into his back. "What's going on?"

"We're surrounded."

Kyo wanted to rip everyone's throats out. "Again?" He shouted in irritation. Just once, he'd like to do a rescue mission that didn't involve being surrounded by a bunch of idiotic scientists and guards.

They both tensed up, preparing to fight the horde in front of them. However, just as both sides were about to attack, the sprinklers in the ceiling above them released water, spraying everyone and everything in the room. Scientists made a rush to turn the equipment off so that nobody would get electrocuted from the water conducting the sparks of electricity coming from the machines and the guards just made a run for it.

While all the chaos was going on, Kyo saw the girl from the booth waving at him to follow her out into the hallway. Grabbing the slightly confused Yuki, he pulled him into the hallway, where (having gotten the idea) Yuki pulled his wrist away.

"Um…" the girl said as soon as they caught up. "We really need to get out of here, so just follow me, okay?"

Yuki raised an eyebrow and Kyo considered the request.

"Please?" The girl gave the two a worried look. Yuki nodded, after a moment's deliberation.

Pleased, the girl ran down the hall, heading to the elevator with the two boys following her. As soon as everyone was on, she pressed the appropriate number on the panel and the elevator jerked upwards. The door dinged as soon as they reached the correct floor and the doors slid open, allowing them to get off.

Some people were staring at Yuki's appearance (the hair and all) slightly wondering how someone got a hair color such as that, others just ignored it, after all there has been worst walking along the hallways of the Facility.

"We need to go outside," the girl instructed. "There's a car waiting for us."

Kyo frowned as a thought hit him. "Who are you?"

The girl gave a startled look. "Er… Now's not the time, they'll be following us soon." Not giving another thought, she continued to the front entrance, where guards were all ready for them.

Yuki, having regained some of his strength, and Kyo ran ahead to clear a path for them. The girl ran through the cleared path and pushed the glass doors open. The sunlight hit her in the face and caused a momentary blindness as her eyes adjusted to the sudden change in light. Behind her, the two teens finished up with the guards and joined her.

Satisfied that they were following, she led them to a Jeep. A Jeep that looked very similar to-

"Mr. Hatsuharu?" The girl knocked on the window.

Kyo swore he could feel his jaw dropping in surprise. How'd the hell did they know each other? Shouts from behind forced him out of stupor as he got into the back of the vehicle. The girl joined Haru in the front and Kyo was forced to sit next to Yuki.

"Take a left and go down the street for two blocks and make a right," the girl instructed, breathless, no doubt, from the running she had to do. As soon as the car was put into drive, she gave a sigh of relief and leaned into the chair.

"Excuse me, miss?" Yuki gave the girl a questioning look as she brought her head around to look at him with her own questioning look. "But, how do you know Haru?"

"After he went to go get you," she gave nod towards Kyo, whom was allowing himself to relax into his half of the seat. "I went to talk to a few of my… ah… associates. Then, I saw Mr. Hatsuharu and since his hair looked as odd (she really did mean that in the nicest way possible) as his, I thought he would be with you and so I talked to him."

"Let me guess," Kyo muttered. "And then he talked to you, think that you couldn't possibly be the enemy. I mean, com'on you're wearing their uniform! How do we know you are trustworthy?" The cat folded his arms over his chest at add a challenge to the statement.

"I think what the idiot over there is saying is are you on their side, or what, miss?"

"I'm so rude," the girl mumbled. "First off, my name is Honda Tohru. I'm part of an underground rebel group. We're trying to get rid of the Facility so that people won't get hurt by them anymore."

"I'm Souma Yuki," the silver haired teen replied, a small smile gracing his features. "The idiot is Kyo, one of my distant cousins, and you've all ready met my other cousin, Hatsuharu."

"She still didn't explain why she's helping us," Kyo muttered, cursing just a tad.

"Have you heard about the Zodiac Project?" She asked in a conspiracy-like tone. "The Foundation has been making a big deal out of it for awhile now and we're trying to figure out why."

Kyo and Yuki gave each other a look, which was lost on Tohru. They were silently wondering if they should tell her or not, in the end, they decided that it was best that they don't say a thing. "No," they both replied.

"Which way do I turn now?" Haru asked. Tohru looked past the two head's in the back.

"We're not being followed," she muttered to herself. "Left and then turn into the alley between the hotel and the apartment." Haru nodded as he took in the directions, following them, surprisingly, to the "T."

The shade of the two buildings gave them enough cover so that they gave the slip to any possible 'suitors that they didn't know about. "Here," Hatsuharu said, giving Yuki a hat. "Hair's too noticeable. And, Kyo, you need to take off the lab coat."

Both did as they were told. Yuki forced loose strands to be tucked underneath the hat, getting slightly irritated whenever one fell out of its place. Kyo almost tore the coat as he pulled it off and threw it into the trunk.

Satisfied with their appearances and his own (having just put a wig over top his hair), Haru turned to the girl. "What now?" He asked in a "I'm bored beyond heck" tone.

"I'll lead you there, its not safe to talk about directions in areas like this, the walls have ears," Tohru explained as she poked her head out of the alley, checking both ways. Waving to the three, she told them to follow her.

The only thing they could do was oblige her orders, seeing as that they hardly knew anything about the city and all. "Just act causal, like you normally would," She whispered to everyone as they began their trek onto the streets of Old Tokyo. Acting normal, for those three, meant Haru would let himself loose and become laid back with hands in pocket, Kyo would slouch just a tad and put a glare on, and finally Yuki does whatever he normally does.

Tohru stopped at a vendor, getting homemade ice cream for everyone, saying that, "I've never had one before, and since you all look hungry, this is the perfect time to try."

They gave her a curious look, Kyo more then the other two; they hid their surprise by eating the sweet treat. When the family was still together and living on the estate, they had ice cream almost all of the time. It's amazing at what different lifestyles and hardships there are between people. They had lived in a secluded area and were pretty well off, and this girl must've been through a lot.

They walked in silence, eating their ice creams. When there was nothing left, except for the napkins, they'd throw them away until no one had a hand filled with anything.

Tohru stared at them until their eyes made contact with her own. She nodded her head in the direction of another alley. Understanding, they slipped into the said area. Pausing to make sure that no one was watching them from the entrance of the alley, Tohru pressed a button and a passage of darkness was revealed. Motioning, she had them enter first and pressed the button again, following before the wall closed on her.

The lights flickered on, lighting up the path to the compound.

Hatsuharu was all ready walking, not caring, where as the other two waited for her to catch up. "Where does this lead to, Miss Honda?" Yuki asked.

The girl blinked before smiling. "My home."

"Doesn't seem like much of a home," Kyo scoffed as he took in the slime growing on the walls.

"I'm sorry," Tohru replied.

Kyo gave her a look of mixed confusion and irritation. "Why the hell are you apologizing?"

"Yes," said Yuki, getting into the conversation. He gave the orange haired teen a condescending look. "Why are you apologizing to that idiot?"

Kyo put up a fist and got into an offensive stance. "You damn rat! One day I'll kick your sorry ass!" The statement was too late to take back, judging by the look of alarm on Yuki's face and Tohru's confused stare.

"Rat?" She murmured as she looked at the two boys. Confusion spread like wildfire on her face. "Are you-?"

"They have pet names for each other," Haru's voice replied from behind her as a hand was placed on her shoulder. "They're embarrassed to say it in public. However, when Kyo gets worked up, he'll accidentally call Yuki 'Rat.'"

The two boys had a shocked look on their faces, which was quickly replaced by anger and fury as Tohru gave an understanding smile and said, "Oh."

Haru gave a twisted smile as the two boys yelled obscenities at him.

It took several moments of Tohru, nervously, trying to get the two to calm down. Still muttering curses every few moments, they continued down the corridor until the brighter lights of the camp hit their eyes.

"This is my home," Tohru announced.

Behind her, a bunch of tents stood. People were running in and out of tunnels, children were running around, playing games that only kids could understand, while their mothers did various chores and errands. However, it was also very quiet, so much that you wouldn't be able to realize how many people there actually was.

Tohru was all ready heading towards the tents, so they had no choice but to follow her.

OOOO
