Chapter 2
Tohru opened her eyes to see nothing but darkness. As her eyes grow use to the lack of light, she saw she was in an old, musty basement. Her wrists and her ankles were chained to the wall, and the length of the chain would allow her to move, barely. Her school uniform was wrinkled so bad it wasn't even funny. She looked around to notice a chair on the fall wall, and a little brown table 3 feet away from her.
"Good to see you are finally awake, Miss Honda." A female voice called to her as a light switched on. Tohru squinted towards the tall figure heading towards her.
"Ms. Ramtos? What happened to me? Where am I?" Tohru asked the lady as she tried to clear her mind. Ms. Ramtos's outfit was completely differentthen earlier. She wore a big white tee shirt that hung loosely around her figure, and black sweat pants. She also held a little tray that had a small glass of water and a sandwich on it.
"Relax my dear. I hit you over the head after we left the Sohma household, and now you are chained up in my basement." Ms. Ramtos answered sticking the tray on the table in front of Tohru.
"Why? Why did you do this to me?" Tohru practically begged, making Ms. Ramtos laugh.
"Dear child! Settle down, I won't hurt you. I am simply doing what my love wanted me to do." MS. Ramtos replied.
"Who is you love?" Tohru asked with a hint of curiosity in her voice.
"Akito Sohma." Ms. Ramtos smirked.
……….
"Tohru. Tohru!" Yuki cried from a heap on the ground.
"What's wrong Yuki? Where is Tohru?" Shigure called out in his singy-song voice.
"Gone…taken away. I will find her." Yuki whispered.
"MISSING! She can't be missing! What will her family, and not to mention friends, do to us when they find out she has been kidnapped?" Shigure cried as he thought of Uo and her blood stained pipe.
"What's going on? Why are you two morons yelling?" Kyo asked as he stuck his head out the door, when he saw Yuki on the floor crying. "Shigure, did you actually beat the damn rat up!"
"No. Tohru got kidnapped." Shigure whimpered.
"WHAT! Hana-chan will kill us with her shock waves!" Kyo yelled out to no one.
"Not to mention Uo-chan will beat us with her pipe." Shigure flinched at the thought.
"Now why would we do something like that to you three? Where is Tohru, we have great news." Hana's creepy voice broke the silence. Kyo and Shigure's heads turned to face the two girl standing by the house.
"What's wrong with the prince?" Uo asked pointing her head towards the body heap on the ground.
"Someone kidnapped Tohru while Kyo and I were fighting." Yuki replied to both questions as he turned his head to face them slowly. The girls gasped at the sight below them. Yuki's face was as white as a ghost and his eyes were blood shot red from all the crying he had been doing.
"She…she's gone?" Uo said staring wide eye at Yuki's face.
"That would be the reason why her waves are so very faint." Hana said as she turned her face away from the others. She didn't want them to see the tears in her eyes.
"Yes. She has been getting threatening notes and she told no one until earlier today when she got another one." Yuki looked away as he mumbled.
"Lets go inside and talk about all this." Shigure suggested.
………..
"So are you planning to hurt me?" Tohru asked.
"Of course not. How could I? I'm just going to make you, your friends, and family forget that you ever met the Sohma's." Ms. Ramtos replied.
"Humph." Tohru muttered looking away. Ms. Ramtos got up and walked away leaving the light on. Tohru stared back at the tray to find that there was also an apple on the side. Tohru smiled she was starved. She ate everything that was on her plate and drifted off to sleep with the hope of seeing everyone again.
………..
Hana was digging around Tohru's room looking for the threatening notes that Yuki said she had received. 'If I'm right, I can find who took her. All I need are those notes, ah! Here they are!' Hana pulled open a box to reveal 6 black envelopes withTohru's name in blood red. Hana closed the box and took it under her arm then headed down stairs.
"I found the notes." Hana's voice rang out sending shivers down the three boys spines. They turned their heads to face the black haired girl who had a dull pink box under her arm.
"Great! Come on over here!" Uo patted the seat next to her trying to sound cheerful for everyone who was to busy mopping.
"How are those darn notes supposed to help us find Tohru?" Kyo asked trying not to yell at the calm girls.
"I maybe able to pull off a wave left on the notes from the person who took Tohru. Though every single note has to be here." Hana answered looking over at Yuki trying to send him a hint. Yuki didn't get it, he was too upset with himself to bother listening to her.
'I promised to protect her. I failed. Now I promise I will bring you back! Tohru if you can hear my thoughts…which I know you can't but I will believe…I want you to know I will save you!' Yuki thought to himself as he clutched the note in his hand.
"Yo lover boy! We need that note in your hands! Will you give it up?" Uo yelled at him, startling him. Yuki looked up at the people staring at him, wondering where they came from. Yuki handed over the note with another rush of tears coming to his eyes. 'Stay focused! If you don't listen to them you will never find her.' Yuki sighed then watched and listened to what the others were saying.
"Well? Will we get our Tohru back soon?" Shigure finally broke the silence.
"Hum… tomorrow we will have to walk around the city until I get a faint signal. Once I get it we follow it, we should find our captor that way." Hana told them.
"Why tomorrow? Why can't we go now?" Kyo asked.
"Orangey you must be stupid! It is almost dark! You don't know how many gang people come out at night! We will be dread." Uo yelled at Kyo.
"Sorry, I didn't know." Kyo whispered trying not to punch her. The girls got up and left saying they would be back at seven in the morning. Yuki got up and headed up the stairs straight for his room. He stepped into his room and saw the picture of him and Tohru at the park. They were holding hands while laughing. It was the end of their first date, and all they could do was take pictures of each other.
Memory-
"YUKI!" Tohru yelled from behind him. Yuki quickly turned around and a flash of light went off.
"Did you just take a picture of me?" Yuki asked her dazed.
"Maybe. Why do you want to know?" Tohru laughed out the words.
"Come here Tohru!" Yuki yelled as she took off, and he following her. They ran about 10 feet before they went tumbling down to the ground. They were laughing so hard it was hard for them to think. Yuki pulled Tohru closer to him as she settled down, and stared into her eyes. They leaned in until their lips touched. It was the best moment in Yuki's life.
They backed away and stared at each other. She was smiling so happily and then stood up. He stood up, grabbed the camera from her and held it at arms length. CLICK.
End of memory back to Tohru-
Tohru opened her eyes, they were full of tears as they're first date came flooding back to her. She was the happiest person ever when he kissed her. All she wanted was to be in his arms at that very moment, she leaned her heard against the wall. She fell asleep thinking about her first kiss and hoping that Yuki was okay.
Well what do you think? Please review and I should post up the next chapter soon, I promise! ; )
