Chapter three---- Confrontation
Flashback—
Turning around, she saw a girl slightly taller than her wrapped up in a blanket. She had chestnut brown hair, which barely reached her shoulders and her deep brown eyes stared fiercely into Tohru. Her grip on Tohru was tight. Tohru's eyes widened as she saw Mitsune Sohma for the first time. Mitsune frowned.
"Are you Tohru Honda?"
------End
Tohru blinked, but even as she did, she felt afraid that blinking was illegal in Mitsune's eyes. " Oh dear, this is my first time meeting Mitsune-kun….." she thought frantically. " What do I do? Do I answer her? But that may be rude…but she did ask me a question.." Her eyes rolled as she got all nervous. Meanwhile, Mitsune, who was still gripping Tohru's arm, frowned deeper. " This is the famous Tohru Honda?" she thought disdainfully. " How can this..small fry make that stupid Akito so angry!" She was expecting someone like Isuzu-kun.. but this girl! She looks so weak. Mitsune raised her voice. "Well? Are you Tohru Honda?" Tohru blinked again. " Um..yes..yes..I'm Tohru Honda..nice to meet you.." she stammered, trying to bow, though Mitsune was still gripping her arm. Mitsune gripped her hand tighter. " If you are really Tohru Honda, I need to tell you something." She let go of Tohru. Tohru took a step backwards. " Um…what?" she stammered. Mitsune gripped the blanket tighter around her, and then looked at Tohru directly in the eye.
" Stop trying to find out how to break the curse of the zodiac."
Tohru stared at Mitsune. This was not the first time she had heard it. Rin had told her to drop that idea too, but later, she did help Tohru…but why does Mitsune want her to drop that idea too? And how did she know that Tohru was trying to break the curse? Tohru took a deep breath. " How..how did you know?" she asked timidly. Mitsune glared at her. "When I finally could get out of that dark room, I went to Kazuma-sensei and he told me that you, Tohru Honda, was looking for the solution! But its hopeless, so drop it!" she yelled. Tohru looked down at her feet. " The dark room? " she thought. " Mitsune-kun was in the dark room? Wasn't that for the one who had the cat spirit? But why does she want me to stop looking for the solution? Tohru shook her head. " No…I can't do that…I swore to myself I'd break the curse…" She took a deep breath and said, " Mitsune-kun…. I'm sorry..but I can't do that….I can't just abandon that task… Tohru was very nervous, but she just had to tell Mitsune the truth. " I just can't. I need to help everyone. I'm very sorry. " She bowed.
Mitsune felt her anger erupt into lava. " Why! " she shouted. " Can't you just drop it? You'll never find out how to break the curse! Even I, who knows the solution can't do anything about it!" Mitsune was so angry, she suddenly felt dizzy. She swayed on the spot. "What's- wrong with me..' she muttered. In an instant, Tohru was at her side. " Mitsune-kun? Are you okay?" she helped Mitsune up. " I'm fine!" Mitsune tried to snap back, but she was to dizzy and everything was turning dark…. Tohru helped Mitsune to her bed, and then called Shigure, whose room was next to hers. Shigure dashed in, still holding his book, Yuki and Kyou behind him. " Tohru? What's wrong…. WOW!" he spluttered, turning red. Tohru gasped and quickly covered Mitsune up with the blanket, which had drifted onto the floor. Yuki punched him on the head. " Honda? What's wrong?" he walked up to Mitsune, who had become unconscious. Tohru looked worriedly at Mitsune. "She fainted after she transformed…" Yuki nodded. " You, furball," he pointed to Kyou. " call Hatori, ask him to come over immediately." He looked at Shigure, who was massaging his head after that punch. "Shigure, you go get some water, see if we can revive her." Both left to do their tasks, though Kyou was grumbling loudly.
Yuki turned to Tohru. " Honda, see if you can get her some clothes.. Mitsune-kun should be older than us, but your clothes should fit. I'll go check on the furball." He walked off, shutting the door behind him. Tohru was left with Mitsune. She went to her wardrobe and took out pajamas. As she helped Mitsune put it on, she could not help but think of what Mitsune had said earlier.
"Even I, who knows the solution…."
Did it mean that Mitsune knew how to break the curse of the zodiac?
