Chapter 3
"Kyo get the hell up! We are leaving in ten minutes with or with out you!" Yuki called from the bottom of the stairs. Yuki was in a better mood, well the 'I'm-so-angry-that-I'm-going-to-kill-the-person-who-took-Tohru' mood.
"I'm up! Gosh you are up early you damn rat." Kyo yelled as he walked out of his room. Kyo was wearing his usual green jacket over a white tee, and blue jean pants. Yuki was in tan cargo pants and a lose white shirt.
Both boys stared angrily at each other and were about to pounce when there came a knock at the front door. Yuki walked over to the door to reveal the ex-yankee thug dressed as well a yankee, and Hana dressed in all black.
"It's good to see you are in better shape this morning." Hana said as she let her eyes roam over the boy's attire. "Honestly, don't you boys have anything black?"
"Hush Hana-chan. We are going to be too busy to care about what they are wearing. Now orangey be a good boy and fetch the notes." Uo commanded.
"What ever." Kyo said as he turned around and disappeared. 'Some times I wonder what gives her the right to boss me around, that ugly yankee is going to get it someday!' Kyo threw the box to Hana as he came walking back down the stairs.
"Great now we go." Hana said as she and Uo walked away.
"We are leaving Shigure!" Yuki called as he stormed out of the house.
"Good and make sure you bring Tohru back safe and sound!" Shigure called after them.
……….
Tohru opened her eyes just a tad hoping against everything she would be in her bed. She opened her eyes wide and stared into the room, as the sunlight entered through the window. She was no longer in the basement, now she was in a little room with a dresser, a tv, a mirror, a closet, a side bathroom, and a bed. Tohru walked over to the dark wood dresser and opened it to find a change of clothes. Tohru closed the dresser and looked around her. The wall was light pink and had a darker pink pattern at the top and bottom of the walls.
Tohru slowly walked over to the door and turned the glass knob. It didn't open, it was locked. 'Great so I'm now locked in a bedroom. Now what?' Tohru thought to herself. She walked over to the tv and turned it on, and then she sat on the bed. Using the remote she started flipping through channels searching for something to watch.
The doorknob began to turn and Ms. Ramtos entered the room carrying a tray with bacon, eggs, toast, pancakes, and orange juice. Tohru stared. She had never seen something like this before.
"I hope you find this room more to your liking. I was beating myself up for having you in that basement." Ms. Ramtos smiled as she placed the tray on the bed. Ms. Ramtos was now wearing a blue jean skirt and a white tank top.
"Why him? Why do you love someone so evil?" Tohru suddenly asked looking up from the food in front of her.
"Who?" Ms. Ramtos asked.
"Akito Sohma. Why would you love someone so evil?" Tohru practically whispered.
"He was not evil Tohru. He loved power so naturally he had to scare everyone to make him have more power. I loved him because he new what he wanted, but since he wanted to patronized his family we would not marry. He was..." Ms. Ramtos trailed off with a sigh as Tohru shot up and ran out of the room.
Tohru ran into the hallway only to see 10 more doors ahead of her. She ran to the first door to her right to find another hallway. She took the second door to her left to find a bathroom with a closet door. She opened the door to find it led into another hallway. After a while of running she collapsed on a couch. She was in the third living room she could find. She was panting.
"I do not understand some people. My home is a maze. Akito wished that it would be, so it is." Ms. Ramtos told Tohru as she flopped down next to her.
"I'm so tiered. How do you get around this house?" Tohru asked as she was led back to her room.
"I have lived here for more then two years so I know my way around. Like I said before, Akito and I had something. That's all that matters. No explanation." Ms. Ramtos said as she closed the door behind her and then locking it.
Tohru ate her breakfast then stood up again, and went to the dresser. She went through the outfits and finally settled on something. She walked into the bathroom and opened the little closet door and grabbed a towel. Tohru slipped off her school uniform and stepped into the shower, letting the water slowly rinse off her problems, for now.
……….
"That's odd." Hana finally said after a fifteen-minute walk of silence. Everyone's head turned to face her as she stopped and looked around the deserted street.
"What's odd?" Yuki asked a little worried.
"I since Tohru. She is really confused, and tiered." Hana said looking at each house on the block.
"REALLY!" Everyone yelled. Everyone looked excited that Hana had finally gotten something. Though Hana's face remained the same.
"Wait. There are other waves with her…the kidnapper's." Hana whispered as she turned the corner looking at the houses again. Everyone waited in silence waiting for her to say something else. "She is relaxed now. She is…" Hana twirled around and pointed at a huge white mansion, "In there."
The group walked up the stairs to the front door looking at the plants that surrounded the house. Little did they know Ms. Ramtos was watching them from one of her windows. 'This will be fun! A dark room for Yuki, a small cat room for Kyo, an all white cushioned room for the black haired one, and a cute little girlie-girl room for the thug. Yes this will be fun.'
Uo stretched out her hand and rang the doorbell. After a moment of waiting the door slowly creaked open. Before them stood a smiling black haired women in a white tank top, and a blue jean skirt.
"Oh, hello there! What do I owe this honor?" She cried out in a happy voice.
"We want Tohru back." Uo stated shaking her fists at her.
"Oh. Well then come on in. I wasn't expecting you guys for a few more hours." She sighed as she let them in.
"Where is Tohru!" Yuki yelled after a moment of silence.
"Now, now Yuki. This house is full of riddles not even your wave friend can compute." The lady answered as she walked away.
"What do you mean witch?" Kyo asked.
"First my name is Samitria Ramtos. You will call me Ms. Ramtos, and I mean you can wonder these halls for days and not find her. Though I will welcome you to do so." Ms. Ramtos answered back sourly opening a door for the kids to go through. "Be careful and remember: Stay together and you may get out." She advised as she closed the door behind them.
……….
Tohru stepped out of the shower, on to the cold tile. She dried off and then got dressed, and walked out of the bathroom. She walked past the door and stepped on the bare wood, slipping a little. As she was falling Tohru reached out and grabbed the doorknob and turned it. Before she knew it the door hit her square in the head.
'Open? When did she unlock it?' Tohru asked herself as she walked out of the room, closing the door behind her. She walked farther down the hall looking at each door. When she came that was pure green, and she pushed it opened. She stepped into the room that looked more like an in door garden instead of a room.
She closed the door behind her as she made her way through the room. Each step made an echo that stopped her heart. She heard some more steps coming her way after a while and was afraid that Ms. Ramtos would find her. She ran behind a bush to notice a small trap door on the of the wall, and without a second thought she went through it and looked in front of her. There was a spiral stairway that leads down. Tohru had no other choice but to follow it.
………..
Well that's all you are getting out of me right now! So check ya next time! Lol!
