Chapter one: What's Love?
On the first day of school, two young first-years claimed that they were a part of the Sohma family and the juunishi. After hearing their wild accusations, Yuki and the others came to acknowledge that they were indeed members of the family. The girls named Tsuki: a short red-haired beauty, and Tyikii: a gorgeous dark-skinned ganguro with a short temper.
After the first day of school, Tsuki and Tyikii stayed at the Main House under the care of Hatori, who had luckily known their mother. A few weeks had pasted by, however, they seemed like months. Tsuki and Tyikii were allowed into the family with open arms and roamed freely around the estate; to and fro Shi-chan's home. They both have also seemed to have made good friends, similar to their own personalities.
About three weeks have past, and the girls are comfortable in their new home. And for some odd reason, this September seemed oddly warm...
"Does anyone know were Tyikii is?" asked Hatsuharu in a mad voice.
"No, why? Do you like her?" inquired Momiji in a teasing voice.
"..." trailed off Hatsuharu's voice, his face turning red. "No, I don't, Momiji. It's just that she bet my ass in Final Fantasy again and I want a rematch!"
"Well, in that case she is in the bathtub. We wouldn't want you disturbing her in there now would we?" interrupted Hatori as he sipped his coffee. "And besides, it's a school night, and if I do recall, last night you and Tyikii were up all night playing that foolish game. There is no need for such an urge to triumph over something like that."
Hatsuharu walked from behind the opening in the wall by the kitchen and sat down at the kotatsu.
"You and Tyi-chan spend a lot of time together, I find it odd and suspicious..." teased Momiji. "Just exactly what were you to doing in the room with the door closed on Wednesday night?"
"We were playing a video game," answered Hatsuharu in a irritated voice
"Really...? But why was the door closed...?" Hatsuharu grabbed Momiji's head and tucked in under his arm and pulled tight.
" Your really starting to get on my nerves, y'know that? Just because I'm in a room with the door shut alone with a girl is no need to be suspicious," strained Hatsuharu as he scolded Momiji.
"Well, I find it quite odd also..." mumbled Hatori under his breath. Luckily, Hatsuharu didn't hear him, so he continued wrestling with Momiji.
"Hey, does anyone know where Sis is?" asked Tsuki.
"Huh?" said Hatsuharu and Momiji.
"She is in the bathtub, you can wait for her to come out also," answered Hatori plainly.
"But Ha'ri! I'm a girl, ain't I? Can't I just go in and talk to her?" whined Tsuki.
"I don't think it will be that difficult to wait, so you' know what I'd do, Tsuki."
"Yeah Ki-chan, you have to wait too!" said Momiji in a happy voice.
"Why do you call us 'chan'. You should be calling us 'kun', it is more suitable," mumbled Tsuki as she ate some umeboshi onigiri.
"Yea, but I think that 'chan' sounds better, don't you Haa-chan?" asked Momiji to Hatsuharu.
"Yeah, it does sound better. Though, I did ask him the same thing a while back... and I got the same answer."
"What's all the noise for? All I wanted to do is take a bath, and I can't even do that now, can I?" growled Tyikii.
"Finally, you're done! Well, actually you didn't take that long... but it's seemed like forever! Now, rematch! I get first controller too!" demanded Hatsuharu.
Tyikii walked over to the kotatsu and sat down, completely ignoring Hatsuharu. "You can wait, I haven't had my dinner yet," she said plainly. "Oh, yea, I heard you wanted me too, Tsuki. What do you want?" she said in a snippy voice.
"I won't ask if you're gonna be such a bitch!" yelled Tsuki.
"Being a bitch is what I'm like, get used to it red," replied Tyikii smoothly. "So just tell me."
"Hmph! Well...uh, could...could you help me with my... science homework?" stuttered Tsuki. Tyikii sat at the kotatsu with her tea held in her hand, completely froze. Then, her hysterical laughing broke the silence.
"What?" she stuttered trying to shake off the laughing spell. "You need my help with your homework? But you have completely different homework then us, why do you want my help?" she asked.
"Because I just don't understand what to do, as much as I hate coming to you for help, please?" Tyikii's face went soft and her expression stern.
"Uh, alright. C'mon, I'll help," she said in a cheerful voice as she pulled on Tsuki's hand.
"What? But you have to play Final Fantasy with me!" growled Hatsuharu.
"Don't worry, Miaho. I'll play it with you later, my sister needs my help, so I'm gonna help her. And... I'll make you listen to the 'Magical Trevor' song again..." she chuckled.
"I hate that song," said Hatsuharu extremely plainly.
Hatsuharu placed his arms down on the table and laid his head on them. He blew out some air and then sighed. Momiji sat back quietly looking to the ceiling as he fiddled with his sucker, and Hatori just drank his coffee and read the newspaper. "Well the, I'm going to bed, goodnight," announced Hatsuharu.
"Wait Haru, I wanna go to bed too! Can you read me a story?" asked Momiji.
"Sure Momiji, let's go. Goodnight, Ha'ri."
"Goodnight Hatsuharu," said Hatori as he read his paper.
Eventually, everyone went to sleep. Tyikii finished helping her sister Tsuki with her homework. Then, these strange noises started to creep up from the front of the house. Of course, someone heard the noises.
"What was that?" said Tyikii aloud as she rubbed her eyes.
The sounds of extremely light footsteps were being emitted from the hallways. Tyikii removed her blankets and got up out of her bed to investigate. She reached under her bed, grabbed her staff and gripped it tightly in her hand. She closed her room door softly so what ever was making the noises wouldn't run away.
Then, lightly walked down the hallway; not making even a pattering sound on the cherry wood floor. She gradually moved faster and faster, until she was moving at a rapid speed. Then Tyikii found strange pieces of fine red string on the steps leading upstairs. Lightly, she ran up another flight of stairs and found a room door left open, and the window open. She thought she knew who it was, so she ran downstairs and opened the door.
"And where the hell do you think you're going?" she asked aloud.
"Ahh, uhghh..." stuttered Tsuki in a surprised.
"So tell me. Where are you going?" asked Tyikii again.
"I can't believe you caught me.. Ugh... I'm going to Shigure's house. I don't like living here, so I wanna go live with the others, I told Shigure, and he said he didn't mind me coming in the middle of the night," answered Tsuki.
"Yea, I wonder why... I mean, ok. I'm not gonna stop you, it's just that you gotta be more quiet! So...go, I'll stall for you in the morning," said Tyikii.
"Thanks sista," replied Tsuki as she bowed. "Ok, peace out, I'm leaving." Tsuki leaped through the air preforming a series of flips into the darkness. Tyikii however, went into the house to her room.
Tyikii got up out of her bed and went downstairs extremely early in the morning. She decided to go see if Hatori needed some help in the morning.
"Mornin' Ha'ri," greeted Tyikii.
"Well, good morning Tyikii. Why are you up so early?" asked Hatori.
"Dunno. I guess I just decided to get up early this morning," she replied yawning and stretching.
"That's odd, because Tsuki is usually the one who is up early."
"Oh, Tsuki? She left around 5:00 this morning to go to Shi-chan's house I don't know why though." Tyikii went up into the kitchen and pulled out her cell phone from her pocket. She dialed Tsuki's number so she could see how she was doing. "Tsuki, are you doing a'ight?" she asked.
"Yea, I'm fine. But I'm not doing very well with Kyon-Kyon. I've whipped his ass five times this morning and he still won't back off!" growled Tsuki.
"Well that's Kyon-Kyon for ya. Anyway, it's like 6:00am now and I gotta go get ready for school. Talk to you lata, bye."
"Bye Sis, peace out."
Tyikii walked upstairs to her room. As she walked down the hallway, she fiddled with her phone, not seeing who was in front of her. Slowly but surely, Hatsuharu and Tyikii came closer and closer until they met (by the way, Hatsuharu was half asleep at the time, so he didn't see Tyikii). Tyikii tripped over Hatsuharu's feet and fell towards the ground; her cell phone already made the trip. "Ahh..." she said as she fell. Hatsuharu saw her tumbling to the floor and caught her, but he went down to.
Tyikii had her eyes closed and her hands positioned in front of her in a defensive position, knowing that she couldn't break the fall. She looked in front of her with eyes wide open and saw that poor Hatsuharu was underneath her; his hands on her hips.
"Tyikii, are you alright?" he asked in a shaky, unstable voice.
"Um, I'm...ok...", she stuttered. Their bodies were froze completely; staring into one another's eyes deeply, forgetting everything else.
"Aww, that's so sweet!" announced Momiji in a happy voice. "I knew you two liked each other, I just knew it!"
"I don't like her the way you say I do, Momiji," he said as he helped Tyikii up.
"Yea, same," answered Tyikii.
"Ok, what ever you too..." mumbled Momiji. "You love each other; Haru and Tyi, up in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G...!"
"WE DO NOT MOMIJI!"
Meanwhile, at Shigure's house...
"What do you mean, you stupid bitch? You drank all of the milk? Hey, you're just visiting, you can't just barge in here in the middle of the night and eat everything!" yelled Kyo to Tsuki.
"Yeah, and what do you plan on doing about it? Huh, what? In case you haven't noticed, Shi-chan is on my side, you idiot!"
"Isn't that right, Shigure?" inquired Tsuki as she looked up at Shigure with puppy eyes and a flirty expressions.
"Of course, Tsuki! Kyo! Stop picking on poor Tsuki, she will be living here for as long as she wants, so don't go agitating her so she'll leave. She's precious to me, so leave her alone," announced Shigure in a protective voice.
"You know she's just playin' you Shigure..."
"Good morning everyone!" said Tohru in a cheerful voice.
"Why good morning, Tohru!" smiled Yuki. "Did you sleep well last night?" he asked.
"Oh, yes, quite well actually? But what about you? Your still getting over your sickness!"
"Oh, I'm fine Honda-chan. Thank you for asking."
"Oh! I see Tsuki-kun is here! Excellent, I will have to make an extra special dinner for her tonight!" announced Tohru. "But why are they fighting?"
"Because Tsuki and Kyo never got along. But when they were young they did I believe it is because Tsuki has been gone for so long that he says he 'hates' her, but he doesn't. In fact, he loves her," explained Shigure.
"What, loves?" inquired Yuki and Tohru.
"Well, yes! When Tsuki was presumed dead (this was when they were like 10 mind you!) Kyo would dream about her every night and say her name in his sleep "I love you Yin" or "I can't love without you." In fact, he still does. It's quite tragic, really."
"Well, we're all ready, so we're heading out for school now. We'll see you later after school!" Said Tohru.
Back at the Main House, Momiji, Hatsuharu and Tyikii were leaving also. Momiji however, was going to walk with the others, so Tyikii and Hatsuharu would walk to school together.
"Ok, bye Ha'ri! We'll see you after school!" said Tyikii.
"Bye," said Hatsuharu.
Hatsuharu shut the door behind him and the two walked off along the trail. "Sometimes Momiji can be such a pain, I'm sorry for this morning," apologized Hatsuharu.
"It's ok, he has the mind of a 10 year old, thought I don't mind; I find being immature is fun! Really!" announced Tyikii aloud. "Haru, have you ever 'loved' someone before. Not love as in family wise, but loves as in the person you wanna be with for ever?" asked Tyikii. "I know it's random, but I'm curious. I don't know what 'love' feels like," she admitted.
"Love?" he asked. His body froze as he clenched his fists. "Love..."
"I'm sorry, Haru. I shouldn't of asked, forget it."
"No." said Haru. "Love: I can't explain, it's not something that can be described physically, it's something that has to be felt. When two people 'love' each other, the want to be with each other for the rest of their lives. It's the kinda feeling when... well, you'd die for that person. You would do anything for them, even if it meant giving up your happiness. It's hard to describe... I'm sorry I cant describe it more to you, Tyikii," he said.
"It's ok, you described it well enough for me.." replied Tyikii.
Hatsuharu's expression went blank and his face grew blood red. His eyes softened and he looked down at Tyikii. "Love... when your with someone that you truly like to be around with... someone who makes you happy... like you...you make me happy, Tyikii..."
