Chapter Eight
Tohru walked out onto the porch, and held onto the railing.
Damn it. She didn't want to tell anyone anything, but she knew that if she didn't, either Sakura or Natsu would say something. Natsu was, after all, the Princess of Emott. She's kill to embarrass Tohru and make her look like a weak fool, and Sakura would also. She had her own fleet, she was a captain for the Rebellion against Emott. She didn't like weaklings. She picked them out and ate them for breakfast. Not litterally...of course...
"Are you okay?" Yuki walked onto the porch next to her.
Tohru half-turned to catch a glimpse of the silver-haired rat,"Yeah. I guess so."
Yuki put hand on her shoulder, it sent tingles through Tohru for some reason,"I just want you to know that I'm always here for you."
Tohru turned toward him and smiled a little,"Thanks Yuki."
"What's going on here?" Sakura walked out onto the porch and walked around the two, then shot a glar at Yuki that could kill someone,"You're not trying to screw my sister, right? Because one boy tried that two years ago, and it worked." Sakura said this o seriously that Yuki started to crack up. "What? WHAT!"
He couldn't take it anymore. The two-inch skirts, the wavy black ribbons, the long red hair, the smart mouth.
She looked like a beautiful clown.
Which didn't make sense, he knew, but he couldn't think of her any other way.
"Did I say something weird?" Sakura asked him, but he wouldn't stop laughing, so she crossed her arms and pouted, then stomped off back into the house.
"Are you okay, Yuki?" Tohru put a hand on his shoulder.
He looked up, surprised,"Yeah. But your family..." He touched the side of her face,"...is pretty funny." He started to crack up again.
Tohru didn't get it. Guys. How weird.
"WILL YOU KEEP IT DOWN!" Kyo yelled.
Natsu was playing a long, sad, yet lilting tune on her cello at the kitchen a table. She looked up surprised wih a piece of cracker in her mouth. Natsu pulled the cracker out,"Shut up or I'll sick Tohru on you...then again...you'd probably like that.." She gave him an evil, mad grin.
"WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!" Kyo couldn't take it. He had started to down pills every night to fall asleep.
He didn't want to listen to the consant nagging of Sakura.
He didn't want to listen to Natsu playing the cello all the time.
He didn't even want to hear Tohru and her bad mouth.
"What's wrong with us?" Tohru entered the kitchen just as Natsu left,"I think you got mixed up, Sweetheart."
"AND YOU!" Kyo lunged at her,"YOU!"
"What? You gonna' kiss me or something?" Tohru puckered mockingly at him.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Kyo gave the hugest, loudest, biggest, scariest scream he had ever given in his entire life.
All the Sohma's appeared at the kitchen, scared out their lives.
"Hm. Okay. I think you need to relax." Tohru rubbed her bleeding eardrums.
"RELAX! I NEED TO RELAX!" Kyo shouted.
"Yeah." Tohru cleaned the blood off of her ears.
"Okay. I'll 'relax.'" Kyo walked to his room, calm now.
"Now," Tohru turned smiling at the Sohmas,"Who wants to eat?"
"Tohru." Started Momiji.
"Yes, Momji?"
"You're still bleeding from your ears."
"Thanks Momji."
"Tohru."
Who's frickin' calling me now?
"Yes?"
"Come here."
"Where?"
"Inside this room."
Tohru walked in the room and stood before a large burning inferno.
That's it.
She had definately gone mad.
"AAAAGGGHHHH!" If you haven't noticed, there's been a lot of yelling in this chapter.
"Tohru?" The blonde-haired girl approached her, puzzled.
Children with their eyes sewn shut.
Their features sanded off.
Their screams masked by a veil of horror.
No!
NO!
"Tohru! Wake up!"
Tohru woke up with a start. She was lying down on a couch, everbody crowded around her.
"What? What? Where's Rebecca?" Tohru was sweating profusely, she could already feel the blood trickling down the side of her head.
"Who?"
"No...no...it was just a dream..." Tohru layed back down. Had it been a dream? She could feel the Queen there. The inferno that always surrounded her. The Queen's children had been there too. The one's she had killed.
"Tohru. We found you lying in you room bleeding. What happened to you?" Yuki wiped the blood away from her forehead.
"I-I saw...her." Tohru answered nervously.
"Who?"
"Queen Charla."
"Who's Queen Charla?"
"She's the one that rules Emott. The one that we've been rebelling against from the beginning." Tohru remembered the dying people. The screams.
Her own screams.
"You need to explain to us what you're talking about. Are you ready for that?"
"...yes."
"Emott was made by a human thousands of years ago. Emott was supposed to be a place of purity. A Paradise. It was supposed to be handed down tothe human's daughter. But, her daughter was kidnapped by an evil creature that sucked all the purity away. He took Emott for himself and lived there with the girl.
The mother found her daughter, and of course, they were supposed to go back to Earth, but the girl didn't want to. She was in love with the monster. But the monster didn't return her love. He betrayed her, and tried to kill her even. But she was...special. She got back at him, and had him swallowed by Emott's many impurities. Now the Rebellion had to beat her.
Or we don't have anything to live for."
"Woah. So what about Queen Charla?" Momiji asked, interested by the ordeal.
"The girl is Queen Charla."
A/N: To:
Sho-ro Eyez---I'm totally for that coupling too! Just maybe MAYBE not in this story. But I'm not sure yet. Gotta' rack my brains for that one.
Plutobaby 494---You don't know what that is until you find out what the other sister is going to do.
Hope you like this! I know that Tohru is super-stretched than anything ever before, but I didn't just want to go for the same old sappy love stories. Thought it would be nice to make a twist.
