ok. first, thanks to Noctin Tilandir for being my first reviewer. and second, someone said they were confused. i said in the note in the 1st chapter that i might post a second version of the same chapter. please tell me which one you like better. and third, ive actually decided to continue this story even though i said i'd only do 2 versions of the first chapter. so chapter 3 will actually be chapter 2 and so on... anyway this is a second version of chap 1 so just read it and tell me which one is better.
A cold icy shiver struck Tohru's back like a bolt of lightning as she shot out of her bed, quaking from her reoccurring nightmare. Every night since it happened, she was forced to relive time and time again, every time she closed her eyes for a moments rest. It haunted her like a plague and those words…his words…
"Tell anyone, and I'll make sure that there won't be anyone left to tell…" Her flashback was graciously cut short by a pounding of fists on her door
"Yo! It's time for school, are you ready or what?" Kyo yelled through her door, fighting to put his shoe on. "President rat went on ahead, something about first day duties or some shirt like that-" Kyo stopped in stunned silence as a sweaty, half asleep, freaked-out girl
opened Tohru's door instead of a light-hearted happy one. "Tohru-"
"Good morning Kyo-kun." She smiled despite everything previous. "I'll be ready in a minute, I over slept."
"Only you…" Kyo sighed as he made his way down stairs to wait and seconds later a hurried girl appeared in front of him, ready to go.
"Back there-…" Kyo began wondering if he should go there,
"I had a nightmare." Tohru said honestly.
"Nothings…you know, been bothering you the past few days, you've seemed to have lost some, peppiness.
Tohru shook her head, unable, by nature, to lie to Kyo.
School was basically going through the motions with Tohru, and after saying fifty or sixty times that she was fine to Hanajima and Uo-chan that she was fine, the day went by as normal
After school however, was a different story.
"Honda-san you seem kind of under the weather, are you sure you're alright?"
"Huh?" Tohru said, she felt awful, no doubt a side effect of that night. "Yeah, I'm-" Before she could finish her statement she collapsed onto the ground.
"Tohru!"
"Honda-san!" Kyo and Yuki screamed staring down at her. With an angry sigh Kyo bent down and carefully carried her back to the Sohma house, while Yuki called Hatori.
"Ok, now tell me exactly what happened…" Hatori said for the third time .
"We were walking home and she collapsed, that's it. " Kyo said flatly.
"Alright…."Hatori said puzzled as he went back into Tohru's room, locking the door behind him. The next hour was oddly spent in
silence between Yuki and Kyo as they waited for Hatori to tell them what was wrong, although the word of Tohru's condition had somehow spread to most of the members of Sohma family.
Before the hour was up, Momiji was sitting patiently on the floor, Haru was leaning against the wall next to Yuki, Kagura was sitting intently next to and staring at Kyo, Shigure stood with his hands in his Kimono next to Ayame who was trying to start a conversation with Yuki, and then, the door opened.
A horrified Hatori walked slowly out of the room. "I'd like to know right now who's responsible for this..." Hatori said almost angry.
"For what Tori-san?" Shigure asked, utterly confused.
After taking a deep breathe he said quietly, "For getting Tohru pregnant…"
As the last word was uttered from his mouth the temperature went down thirty or forty degrees as Kyo and Yuki shot suck cold eyes at each other.
"You bastard!" Kyo yelled, furious that Yuki would do something like that.
"What the hell were you think baka neko!" Yuki shot back, as if he never heard what was first said. "Didn't you consider the reaction on Tohru!"
