Last time: "When I had lost my ring, you had gotten kidnapped, correct?" Muiko asked with a straight face.
Tohru was surprised. "Y..yes. How did you know?"
"You would be better off not knowing. Let's just say we used to know each other. But the reason I told you...The reason I told you...is because I believe you are..."
Now:
"I believe that you are the reincarnation of my sister. Of Yuka. Yuka Fujika." Muiko said.
Tohru's eyes opened wide. "Wh-why?"
"When my ring did not exist, whenever Yuka worried about me, my personality would change. That became a problem, because she was kind, and worried alot about me. The same happens to you. So our father went on a journey and found a ring, my ring, which is crafted from a special ore, said to be from another world. He gave it to me and it took me awhile to finish all of the personalities, because unless I was in this personality, I didn't want to change personalities. My father told me not to put it on my left middle finger, but I did one day. And...I killed her and he killed Yuka." Muiko responded.
"Who did you kill?" Tohru asked.
"I can't tell," Muiko replied.
"...I...Ok..." Tohru finally said.
Tohru looked at him, then noticed the awkward silence. "I...uh..." She looked up into the dimming orange and red shades of the late evening sky. She spoke comforting and kindly. "So am I'm...related...to you?" (A/N: Note, in the 1st book, traces that Tohru has trouble in school are here and there. Okay?)
"It's possible," Muiko responded quietly. "Not likely, though. I would probably know you. Then again...maybe not. I never had a family and my brother, who had to re-marry because of an...inccident, moved far away. I doubt it, though. In the case of a reincarnation, the reincarnate is not usually of the same family of the one they were reincarnated as."
"You know alot, about that stuff." Tohru told him kindly. "But... is...it ok if you told me one more thing?"
Muiko raised an eyebrow. This innocent girl, asking for a favor?
"I was...I was going to ask if you could tell me who the boy who you said was going to kill me when you pulled me into the alley before." Tohru asked, looking away from the sky and meeting his eyes.
"Ahh..." Her brown eyes, so much like his long decesed sister. He couldn't say no. "You...don't know him?"
"Know...who?"
"I...guess you don't... Do you know anyone named Kirish?" Muiko asked unsurely.
"Kir...ish?" Tohru asked, puzzled. "Uh...no. Was I supposed to?" It sounds like a type of fish...
"You didn't...? So all this time..." Muiko chuckled quietly. "It MUST have been fate."
"Can...you...explain?"
"It will take awhile, but I'll tell you."
"Thank you!" Tohru exclaimed.
"When I was little, my multiple personalities--"
"Honda-san," Yuki said, unaware he was interrupting. "Your food is getting cold; it would be a shame for it to go to waste."
"Oh, thank you, Yuki-kun."
Tohru got up absently and followed Yuki back to Shigure's house. Muiko smiled inwardly. "That's okay, too. It would be awkward for me to tell you. Even if you were Yuka's new self."
Heehee. Chapter's FINALLY over! (audience gasps)
