Chapter 2: The New Girl
phone rings "hello, oh, hello Momiji!...how are you doing?...what?...ok i'm on my way!" Shigure runs to the main house. Momiji called him demandingly by Akito.
At the main house...
"Hello Shigure-chan." Said Akito's cold voice, " I have some good news."
His sick, flat, coughy voice trailed off into dead silence as he got up from the porch, his golden kimono threads reflecting from the sun into Shigure's eyes.
"Well, what is it?" Sigure asked. Akito told him the whole story and he explained about the girl staying with him.
"So! we'll have our curse broken if she falls in love with him. And she'll be living with us for that 1 reason. ooooh! I can make a novel out of this!" Shigure exclaimed, and already he was having daydreams of winning an academy award for best author. Akito interupts him,
"Yes, you dimwit, so make sure they fall in love! And you should already know the rules...they have to find it by themselves... telling them of how they must all in love... that just won't work! If you want to help then keep it a secret...Until I find out what is in the rest of the book it's the only thing we can do."
"I'm home!" Said a hungry Shigure, "Hey Tohru! Is dinner ready?" he wined, "I'm hungry!" then Tohru yells from the kitchen, "Hai, Shigure-san! Dinner is ready!"
"Hey Tohru-kun, get everyone together, I have some big news for everyone!" Shigure responded.
In the dinner table everyone ate silently until Shigure spoke.
"ahem, good news everyone! We will be host to an American juunishi!"
Everyone just looked at him oddly.
"What a nice way to announce it genius, how anti-climactive," Kyo muttered, "now spill the details you baka!"
Then yuki spoke, "I don't know who your talking to like that since you're the baka, think before you speak."
"Oh yea!" yelled Kyo then they started having their usual B.F (BITCH FIT) then Shigure interupted them by swinging a big giant stick/q-tip thingie into those chinese plates people use in sumo wrestiling.(lol)
"You, guys! Can you all just listen" Shigure said, "Ok, here's the thing, you know that Hatori is away on that trip in America." Hepaused as everyone nodded.
"Well he stumbled upon a juunishi... not only that but she will be living with us because Akito said so. So here's what I need You all to do, Tohru-kun, you will be in charge of sprucing up the house and cleaning out that last empty room upstairs, that will be her room. I will buy her furniture so i need Yuki and Kyo to help put the furniture in the room as well as give Tohru a helping hand whenever she needs one. Also I want the three of you to go shopping tonight and buy her things for her rom, like the sheets, accessories, etc." Now I'm gonna go and order the furniture tonight because her and Hatori will be coming on Saturday so we need to hurry."
"So what animal is she! And how old is she? And what's her name!" Tohru curiously and excitedly asked. "She's 16 years old just like you guys,her name is Jailene,and she is the cat juuni-" Shigure's response was cut off by a tea spitting Kyo.
"What! She's a cat? How could this be! I'm the cat!"
He just started freakingout due to the suprise that Shigure gave him.
Wow! Another cat juuniishi! now there's two of my favorite animal! Wow this is gonna be great I hope we turn out to be great friends! Tohru thought. Already she was having daydreams of crayon animated chibi versions of themselves playing in yuki's garden with a new american 'blonde' girl playing with them too. (A/N: AWW! JUST VISUALIZE THE CUTENESS XD ! ...oops! sorry! back to story everyone!)
"I don't get it! How could this be!" Kyo was still suprised.
"We'll find out everything as soon as she gets here, ok!" Shigure explained, "But in order for us to finish the tasks given, you guys have to skip school tomorow to hurry-
"WHAT MISS SCHOOL?" Tohru accidentally cut him off and every one just stared at her, "No, I can't miss school...wait...im sorry! I'll skip school tomorow, If it's for the good of this family and I should help. Mom would do the same thing... I'm sorry!"
Shigure just smiled at her with a 'thank you' kind of smile and continued his explaining."Now I'm going to go to the Furniture gallery (the same one where Tohru got her stuff) and buy here a king size bed (just like Tohru) and you guys can go to the mall and buy her decorations for her room!"
Ok! So everyone agreed to that and continued eating.
Kyo left early from the table (as usual) making Shigure very satisfied. He looked at Yuki and Tohru with a serious expression.
"Uh... Shigure-san?" Tohru asked curiously due to his unusual facial expression. Shigure took a deep breath.
"I'm glad that Kyo left the room. We have something important to discuss." He bagan. Yuki then spoke. "Yea, and I'd also like to know what's up with all of this."
"Yuki-kun. It's a long story really." Shigure started befor telling the two everything he was told while at Akito's house.
"So it's very very important that we play the roles of matchmaking here. Akito's ordes." He sighed. "But please. It's very important that this be kept a secret. Especially from Kyo and Jailene." He began to get up. "I really don't know how to do this... I mean... If true love is found not from the purpose of others... then why are we supposed to get them together?" He seemed confused with his task. Tohru thought about the situation.
Shigure is right... The true love of other's mustn't be played with. And Akito does not make sense. He wants us to help... but silently... but how can we?m guessing that we just have to let them be them and help whenever thay have a problem... Other than that... what's there to do?
Suddenly a light bulb appeared on her head as well as a smile.
Or I can just help them get along! Just like Kyo and Yuki are fighting less... maybe the same thing can happen with Jailene and Kyo... and we all can show them the better sides of each other... Because despite how wonderful I hope Jailene is... she still is possesd with the spirit of the cat... just like Kyo.
And they're bound to bicker.
Tohru smiled.
I have faith in God thateverything will come out good. Destiny will work it's way along. Because...
They belong Together...
After dinner and Tohru washing the dishes, the dinamic trio dropped Shigure off at the furnisure gallerie and continued their "journey" to WalMart. (Yay! Walmart)
"Ooooh! Kyo! Isn't this the cutest? It's perfect!" Tohru squeeled, Kyo just stood there staring at the overly excited Tohru. "um... whatever..." Kyo sweat dropped. Just then Yuki approached their isle with an oatmeal bear with a baby blue see-through bow.
"Wouldn't this make the nicest gift?" Commented Yuki.
"Huh?... o sure watever..." Honestly Kyo was completely dozed off. He just couldnt get his mind off of Jailene.
This can't be! I just can't believe this. What if everyone is just pulling a prank on me! How dare they! Them dumbasses! But wait, Shigure wouldn't be spending so much money just for a practical joke, and, and Tohru would never be as cruel as to do something like this, so maybe they're not lying. THEY BETTER NOT!
"Um, Kyo? Are you ok?" Asked Tohru, "Yea Kyo, you look spaced out." added Yuki. "What?... O shut your damn mouth you baka nezumi! Who said anything about being spaced out!" Well, the riceball and nezumi just walked away like whateverand continued their shopping, they're used to his freaking out attitude, later they arived back athome, satisfied with what they have had bought for the new neko.
After cleaning up Jailene's soon-to-be room, Kyo could not sleep. He just couldn't get his mind off of her. He had mixed/confused feelings. Well, only 2 more days and I'll meet this Jailene, he thought,let's just wait...
The next day (Friday...they decided not to skip school, they thought they had enough time to fix her room etc.), the fabulous trio stumble upon the sad and pathetic yuki fanclub.
clap,clap,clap,clapclap"L-O-V-E-M-EYUKI!" :ridiculous dance and gymnastic moves that I the narrator could never do in a million freaking years:
"Wow, if only I were a girl I would have been shuting them up for good" kyo commented.
fangurl#1: yuki-san! May I ask what in the word are you constantly doing hanging out with this Honda-san? It's as if you were friends!
fan gurls 2 and 3: HORROR OF HORRORS!
"Mind your business." said yuki softly yet stern enough to break the little chiken head's hearts." Yuki you shouldn't be so mean they're just very fond of you!" said Tohru trying to keep peace.
fan girl 1: you Honda-san, keep out of this!
fan girls 2 and 3: STAY OUT OF IT!
Then Yuki and Kyo gave them dirty looks for wat they said to Tohru and scared them off.
After that little insident they shrugged it off and walked offafter schoolto talk to Momiji and Haru about Jailene.
"Well," said mommiji, "Tomorow she'll be arriving with Hatori at noon,and after their private meeting with Akito, they'll go to your house and all these questions about her will be answered." He began with a mature and serious voice,"But... I CANT WAIT TILL SHE COMES!"
"I cant wait either!XD" squealed Tohru.
The next day (saturday the moment of arrival)...
Everyone was so anxious for noon to come that when it did they're actions started getting faster. Tohru cleaned and cooked so fast that it almost boke the sound barrier (lol... i don't get it either!)and the 3 hotties worked so hard and fast they looked like light beams moving around. Then like 2 hours later they got a call from Hatori's cellphone saying that they were on their way.
They had not to worry, the house looked marvelous, the cooking was finished and everyone was looking spify (except for kyo... the fronter could care less) and Jailene's room wasdone.
Every one waited at the door for her arrival. I mean this could change their lives forever! this would determine the continuation of the curse, as far as as Shigure knew... she was their savior.
All of a sudden the dorrbell rang and wen it was opened...MOMIJI jumped out and landed on yuki and started hugging him.
"Hey guys! Omy gosh! Jailene is here! shes so pretty and nice! wow you won't believe it!" Momiji kept screaming out. Then Hatori walked in and greeted everyone before introducing everyone to Jailene.
"Hi everybody." said Hatori neutrally, "How has everyone been?..."
Everyone nodded and smiled with silent 'Ive been good'.
"Well I'd like you to meet Jailene Santana."
Then he took a few steps inside to reveal a young woman. Everything was in slow motion and sparkly for the 3 hotties. Her beautiful long (mad loooong),dark brown straight hair revealed slightly chingy brown eyes that sparkled and showed a glistening smile as wonderful as her real smile. With her brown skin and her other facial features one would guess she was hispanic.She wore a jean strapless miniskirt rocawear dress that was so tight it helped reveal her body by which attracted Shigure the most. She wore a pair of high heel JLo boots, and as for jewlery she wore golden hoop earings, a gold chain with her name in white gold, golden bangels.
She smiled at her hosts and bowed.
