YAY! It's a new chapter! Lets all be happy and sing and dance right? Sorry about that. That was my way of saying sorry I'm so lazy that I didn't write this a month ago. Hope y'all like it!
RECAP OF LAST CHAPTER
Everyone was running around and goofing off at the park, and since the girls were occupied with teasing Hiro, Tohru decided now would be the best time to ask a question that had been bugging her since the night before.
"Momiji! Kisa! I'd like a word please!" Tohru called out to her two friends.
"What is it?" Momiji asked, after collapsing on the grass next to her, trying to catch his breath.
"I want to know why you're here. Something must be up, not that I don't love you three visiting, but, you never visited me in the last three years, so why now?"
Kisa looked at Momiji, Momiji looked at Kisa, and Tohru looked at both of them, trying to decide if she needed to worry.
Kisa nodded at Momiji, then turned back to Tohru, "It's Yuki, Tohru. I know you've been visiting him every nine months or so, but it must not be enough, because –"
Kisa was cut off by Hiro running over to them with a horrified look on his face.
"Kisa! Tohru! Momiji! The kids are gone!" Was all he needed to say to get the three young adults off the ground and completely frantic.
END OF RECAP
"W-what happened Hiro?!?!" Tohru half yelled at him.
"I don't know! We were playing hide and seek and I counted to ten and they ran of and to hide. When I looked for them I couldn't find them anywhere in the park! I don't know where they went, and I am so so so sorry Tohru!" He finished, and boy did he look sorry.
"If we ever have kids I am never, ever, letting you baby-sit them." Kisa said to her fiancé.
"We can split up and look for them," Momiji suggested, "Kisa and Hiro can go towards the right and Tohru and I can go towards the left." Everyone agreed, and the hunt for the children began.
Ten Minutes Later
"Momiji! How far can to little girls go ! I don't see them anywhere." Hiro called out to his cousin.
"We haven't seen them either Hiro, and I'm starting to get worried." Momiji confided quietly, so Tohru could not hear.
"We just have to keep looking, or else will all get a pretty bad beating from Yuki when we go back to Japan." Hiro reminded him.
"I'd almost be happy to be beat up by Yuki, after all that's been happening with him. It would be nice to see him acting like his old self." And on that depressing note, the cousins both left to keep looking.
Kisa had met up with Tohru as they walk across the park and the side streets. Neither of them were saying anything.
"GET THE HELL AWAY FROM US!" A loud, child-like voice yelled from a side street called Raven Drive. Tohru and Kisa shared a look that said, 'oh god, please let that be them!.'
The two young women both ran to Raven to find…
… Shinju, Koharu and a crazy-looking woman. As soon as the lady saw the adults, she ran.
"SHINJU! KOHARU!" Tohru yelled, gabbing both her girls up into a very large hug. "Your both all right! Thank god!" Then she pulled back to inspect them.
"Was that you talking Koharu?" She asked, completely amazed. Koharu nodded once. "Oh honey! If you hadn't said anything then we might never have found you two! I'm so glad your both okay!"
Kisa smiled at the happy little family, "Well, can you tell us what happened Shinju?" she addressed her little niece.
"She said she would give us candy if we went with her. I said okay, but Ko didn't wanna so then I said no, but she grabbed me and pulled me over here. Ko saved me! She hit the lady and the lady put me down. Then Ko yelled and you came, and the lady ran once you came."
After a moment she added, "I'm real sorry mommy."
Tears were streaming down Tohru's face. She had been so worried. What if that horrible lady had succeeded and taken her children away? What if they had died. Everyone around her would be gone, her mom, her da, Yuki… even Akito, who she disliked, but never wanted to die.
"Lets go home Shinju, Koharu." Tohru said, after getting herself together, "It's time for me to tell you both about Japan, and about your da."
"A-About Dada?" Shinju asked. She new about the curse on the family, but she had never seen anyone transform. She also knew her dad was the rat, and that mommy missed him, but that was about it.
"I should have told you long ago, but we were afraid for you Shinju, but your old enough now. Can you tell me the difference of right and wrong?"
Shinju nodded vigorously, "Right is taking a baby kitten out of the rain, and adopting it. Right was savin Ko from the big ocean. Wrong is hurting a baby. Wrong is trying to take Ko 'n me away from mommy. Wrong is hurting Dada"
Tohru smiled. "Those are wonderful examples sweetie. And all of them were right. Do you want to meet daddy? We can go back and live in Japan, where you were born, and where Yuki is."
"Yes! I want to meet dada! I told Ko all about him, just like you told me! I told her about the zodiac too! but I dunno if she believes me. We should make Unko Moiji transform when we get back home!"
"We'll see darling. Lets just go home now, mommy and auntie are tired after all the excitement." Kisa told the girls.
Two Hours Later
"So its really real mommy. Unko Moiji is a rabbit. Unko Hiro is a sheepy. And daddy is a rat?" Shinju asked. Momiji sat in her lap as a small and very fluffy yellow rabbit. Hiro was standing next to Koharu, in sheep form, while she pet him absentmindedly.
"Yup. Everything I told you was perfectly true. So, " Tohru turned back to look at Kisa, "I'm ready to go home again. And stay their forever."
Kisa smiled at Tohru. 'But Tohru still didn't know the whole truth!' Kisa reminded herself, 'No one had told her, but she still decided to go back to Japan, so did they really NEED to tell her? Couldn't it just be a not-so-wonderful surprise?'
'I wish Tohru didn't have to have so many sad things in her life, but everything always seemed to stay that way.' Kisa thought. 'Maybe he'll be all better and we wont have to say anything.
'Please god, let Yuki be better!' She prayed.
