Hey I'm back again with everybody's favorite bumbling twosome Sarah and Ashley, and the sharp-tongued Kristen!

Ch.5: The Trouble with Tea KettlesIn Detention
Kristen sighed impatiently as she twirled her hair 'damn it…it's been forever since he drank the pills in the coffee. Why the hell hasn't he passed out yet…I could have sworn those were nightquil tablets…he should be out like a light' Kristen thought to herself as she fiddled with her hair. Yes it's true; it had been a grueling 10 minutes since Takengawa-san had drunk the concoction and the results were still M.I.A. Haru and Yuki both gave Kristen questioning looks to which she merely shrugged, Kristen turned her attention back to the teacher and noticed that he seemed to be sweating profusely and squirming in his seat uncomfortably.
Tohru and the others must have noticed because Tohru perked her head up slightly and addressed the spastic educator "um…Sensei…are you alright?" the girl asked as the teacher began to hold his stomach and shake slightly in his seat. "I'm…p-perfectly fine…umm…Children please excuse…ahhh…excuse me…I need to…um go…um…take care of some…ermm…oh hell I gotta go!" the teacher struggled to sputter out as he jumped up and practically jumped through the door getting out of the classroom. As soon as he ran out the 5 delinquents jumped to their feet and followed his movements with their eyes.
"Oh my! I hope Takengawa-san is all right! He looked terribly sick" Tohru said as her voice shook slightly with fear, the three males in the room turned to glare suspiciously at Kristen. The sandy brown haired girl crossed her arms over her chest defensively "hey don't look at me! I didn't do anything to him" Kristen huffed as she sat on her desk, Kyou stomped over to Kristen and stood before her "what do you mean? You're the one who drugged his coffee!" Kyou said scathingly. Yuki and Haru turned to Kristen in shock "you drugged him!" they exclaimed in unison, Kristen rolled her eyes "well…it was just supposed to make him go to sleep not kill him or anything! See here!" Kristen said as she reached down her blouse and pulled out a small cardboard pillbox.
Kristen took the box and shoved it in Kyou's face "I thought it was cold medicine…I found it in old sensei's bag" Kristen said as she picked at her nails, Kyou pulled the box off his face and read the front. Kyou's eyes widened and he quickly dropped the box as if it were on fire which caused Yuki to turn his attention to the cat, "what are you doing now you idiot cat?" the prince asked as he knelt down and picked up the box. "Why the hell did you give him those?" Kyou asked Kristen with a look of disgust; Kristen and Tohru gave Kyou confused looks "what? How the heck should I know what I gave him…I cant read Japanese kanji!" Kristen protested causing Tohru, Kyou, and Haru to sweat drop.
Yuki looked at the box and then his eyes widened in shock and he gave Kristen an uneasy look "what?" Kristen asked as Yuki handed her the box, "you didn't give him cold medicine…you gave him…laxatives" Yuki said trying hard not to laugh. Haru and Kristen on the other hand immediately doubled over with laughter while Tohru simply stood there with a thoughtful look on her face, Kyou and Yuki both looked at tohru curiously 'hmm…maybe she doesn't know what laxatives are?' Kyou and Yuki thought. "Uh…Honda-san…do you know what Laxatives are?" Yuki asked with a slight blush crossing his cheeks, Tohru thought for a second then smiled brightly sticking her finger up into the air.
"Of course! But I wonder why poor Sensei was so constipated…maybe he needs more fiber " Tohru said seriously with a innocent hint of worry, Kyou and Haru both looked at her before falling over in lung straining fits of laughter leaving a very baffled and concerned Tohru to watch as her friends all spasmed on the floor except for Yuki who simply sweat dropped and blushed.
AT THE MAIN HOUSE
Hatori sighed helplessly as he walked back to his office 'why now? Why did Shigure have to go and invite more girls into his home? That perverted dog' Hatori rolled his eyes at his thought as he opened the door again. When he opened the door he saw Sarah and Ashley standing on his desk doing a little side step snap routine and belting out a strange song while Momiji sat fully clothed in his human form on the floor in front of them clapping happily. "We changed the rules around! We got a different sound…tune into the under ground! Cause when it gets to tough, you have no choice…aww yeah! You gotta make some noise! Are you listening? Are you listeniiiiiiiing nooooooow! You're on the air!" The two girls sang like drunk frat brothers at a keg party.
"You're listening to Radio Free Roscoe!" Ashley and Sarah exclaimed as they both struck diva poses and Momiji continued to cheer and clap, "oh wow! That was soooo good! You guys are great! You should be entertainers!" the boy gushed happily. Ashley pouted her lips and attempted (and failed) to flip her hair sexily as she posed against Sarah, "oh but my darling boy…we already are…SUPER STARS!" she exclaimed as she attempted to do a little spin on the table…but she only succeeded in falling. Ashley stumbled off the table grabbing Sarah with her and they both landed face first onto the floor "Damn it!" they both cursed in muffled voices as their faces were plastered to the wood floor.
Hatori bowed his head sullenly and sighed as he rubbed his temples again 'what have I done to deserve this…I'm a good citizen…I never kicked any puppies! Why me? Damn it! Where's a good bottle of pills and a shot of whiskey when you need it?' the doctor thought. Hatori looked up to see Sarah staring at his face worriedly "what's wrong Hatori-san you look like you're suffering from a massive hangover" Sarah said as she tilted her head to the side curiously. Hatori combed a hand through his dark hair as he made his way over to his desk and sat down, Hatori steadily began ruffling around in one of his desk drawers trying to find some aspirin…or a flask of bourbon…whichever.
Ashley, Momiji, and Sarah all looked at each other and shrugged, Ashley walked over to Hatori's desk and sat up on the wooden desk. Ashley sat Indian style on the desk and leaned forward towards Hatori and cocked her head to the side with slight worry "no but seriously…are you ok Hatori-san?" Ashley asked with a small pout as she reached out a hand and pressed the back of it to his forehead. Hatori jerked back slightly in surprise and caused himself to fall backwards out of the chair with Ashley following after.
Hatori landed squarely on his back with Ashley straddled over him using her arms and knees to hold herself up, separating their torsos. "Wow you're getting pretty good at that Ash" Sarah said with a congratulatory nod, Ashley sweat dropped "you're so lucky I cant use my hands right now…but trust me…right now I'm flipping you off with my mind" Ashley said through gritted teeth as she strained to hold herself up above the older man. Hatori looked up from his spot on the floor and locked eyes with the girl above him, her large dark brown eyes seemed to draw him in with their youthful spirit and mystifying hidden wisdom.
Ashley smiled down at Hatori causing him to be brought back to reality. His eyes traveled over to his side to the strong tawny brown arm that firmly held her place above him, "uhh…" Hatori muttered as the heat from the girl's own body and the close awkwardness of the situation caused him to blush slightly.
"Oh…yeah…hehe…" Ashley said as she leaned back away from Hatori, "oh Tori-san! Where aaaaaaare youuuuu!" came a familiar and annoying voice that caused Hatori to sit up straight in panic. This sudden movement caused Ashley to fall back onto Hatori's lap with her knees now straddling his pelvis, just then the doors were slid open and in bounced a very energetic Ayame "Oh good you're here Tori-saaaa- Oh…oh my…Tori-san you dog you!" Ayame giggled sinisterly as he took in the suggestive pose the two were in at the moment.
"Well you look rather busy at the moment so I'll go now…" the snake said with a suggestive quirk in his eyebrow. Ashley looked down at Hatori and quickly jumped off of him and firmly landed on her butt as the doctor stood himself up and straightened out his clothes "ah! No wait Ayame-san! It…it's not what you think!" Ashley protested fervently as Hatori simply walked over to stand his chair up properly and Sarah rolled on the floor with laughter and Momiji giggled. Ayame cocked a rather suggestive eyebrow and glanced at Hatori "oh really? So…tell me Ashley-kun what do you think I thought it looked like?" Ayame asked suspiciously. Sarah rolled her eyes "oh he probably thought you two were like doing the nasty. That's what it looked like to me," Sarah said with a teasing grin.
Ayame exploded into boisterous laughter and Ashley promptly threw a vanilla folder at her friend and Hatori sweat dropped. "Oh…that sudden act of total senseless violence and stupidity just reminded me…Akito wishes to meet with both Ashley-kun and Sarah-kun" Hatori said as he massaged his throbbing temples. Ashley and Sarah exchanged quick looks at the mention of the god's name and stood up straighter seemingly fear, 'it's finally arrived…we get to meet Akito-san…this'll be fun' Ashley thought to herself as a malicious smirk slithered onto her face. Sarah looked over and caught the look of mischief on her friend's face and had to stifle a small giggle as she realized just what the shorter girl was most likely thinking.
"Alright then! Let's go…I'm excited to meet Akito-san. I think it'll be fun," Sarah said perkily before giving a wink in Ashley's direction. Hatori was more than a little confused at the exchanged but he chose to ignore it and turn to Ayame "ok…I shall take those two to see Akito…now when I get back I expect to see you gone" he told the silver haired man as he walked back towards the door. Ayame threw back his head in laughter "oh Tori-san, you're quite the jokester! Don't worry I shall await your return" Ayame said proudly as he rested a hand over his heart. Hatori rolled his eyes and continued to usher the two girls into the hallway and began to lead them towards Akito's room.
As Sarah and Ashley strolled down the hallway they couldn't help but sneak nervous glances at each other and Hatori, "excuse me…eh…Hatori-san?" Ashley piped up suddenly as she stopped with Sarah in the hallway. Hatori was brought out of his thoughts as he looked down at the young girl "yes?" he replied almost automatically. "You don't have to worry" Ashley said to him with a sincere smile "I mean…about Sarah and me going to see Akito. I know how you worry about people being hurt by Akito like you were with Kana…but please don't worry yourself about us…we can handle ourselves" Ashley continued with a mischievous glint in her eye.
Hatori was taken aback at the statement. It seemed strange but somehow her little speech had restored within him a feeling he had long since shut himself away from, he felt for the first time in years as if he could just relax. Something in the girl's tone, her face…something in it held an essence of confidence and truth. Hatori let a small rare smile slid onto his lips as he bowed his head "thank you for your concern but I'm not worried. Now you should hurry…Akito hates to be kept waiting" Hatori said returning to his usual tone as he began to walk past the girls to lead the way. As he walked ahead Sarah turned to Ashley "hey…what was that all about? You really think Akito will be as bad in person?" Sarah asked her darker skinned comrade.
Ashley smirked and leaned in to Sarah "oh without a doubt. Just remember…don't back down…if Akito sees your fear you're done for. And if anything too crazy starts happening…follow my lead" Ashley whispered back to Sarah. The blonde winked and gave a thumbs up "got'cha!" she replied and both girls began to jog after Hatori giggling all the time.
With Kristen and Tohru and the Gang
"Well that was relatively simple" Kristen yawned as she stretched her arms out upon exiting the school with the other 4 teens. Yuki and Tohru sweat dropped as they all tried their best to sneak quietly from the school without getting caught, "hah. Simple? Yeah…after you drugged the guy," Kyou snorted as they rounded the corner away from the school. Kristen stopped and stuck her foot out to the side slightly "I mean sheesh! You'll be lucky if no one finds out…you could be expelled…or go to jail you idi-AAAH!" Kyou suddenly tripped over Kristen's extended foot and fell flat on his face.
Haru and Yuki snickered into their hands as Tohru began to freak out and knelt down to Kyou to check if he was all right, "ow! Damn it…what'd you do that for woman?" Kyou hissed as he pulled himself up from the dirt and glared ferociously at Kristen. Kristen smiled innocently and leaned closer towards Kyou holding his face in her slender soft hands, "oh my. Are you all right Kyou? Looks like you tripped…you should be careful you might really get hurt," Kristen said feigning concern, causing Kyou to blush a bit at her tone and closeness. Kristen replied to his reaction by pushing his face away from her forcing him back into Haru "Anyway…next on the agenda is figuring out where Ashley and Sarah went off to" Kristen rattled off as she marched on ahead leaving Kyou and the others to scramble after her.
Yuki was the first to catch up to Kristen "um…well maybe Johnson-san and Ingram-san went back to Shigure's house?" Yuki offered as an explanation, Kristen scoffed at the idea "yeah right! Those two rabid fan girls wouldn't just go home and have tea. Not when they have the opportunity to run rabid around a strange place…. no…knowing those two they'll go where they can cause the most trouble" Kristen replied as they reached the entrance of the forest area surrounding Shigure's house. Tohru stopped and looked up thoughtfully "But Kristen-kun…where could they possible cause trouble? The only people they know are the Sohmas" Tohru reasoned aloud, suddenly Kristen stopped in her tracks and grabbed Yuki and Haru by the shoulders to halt their movement "that's it…The Main House!" Kristen squealed with excitement.
Haru turned to the sandy haired girl "huh? Why would they go to the main house?" the ox asked curiously and Kristen simply slapped her hand to her forehead "of course! Can't you see? The main house is a breeding ground for Sohmas and knowing that crazy cousin of mine she'll want to meet each and every cursed member of the Sohma clan! This is horrible" Kristen lamented as she slumped forward against a tree. Yuki, Kyou, and Haru exchanged confused looks as Tohru walked over to Kristen and rested her hand upon the girl's shoulder "b-but Kristen-kun…how is it bad that Ashley-kun and Sarah-kun want to meet the other Sohmas…they're such nice people" Tohru defended as she smiled reassuringly to Kristen.
Kristen smiled at Tohru and shook her head "oh no it's not that. It's just that…well most of the cursed Sohmas are male right?" Kristen asked the group as she placed a hand on her hip, Yuki and the others nodded. Kristen suddenly looked panicked as she walked over to the boys and grabbed Haru's face with her left hand and brought it to her level "exactly! And if the rest of them are as hot as the five Sohmas I've met so far then those two knuckleheads are probably molesting them as we speak! We have to hurry before their innocence is jeopardized!" Kristen exclaimed as she held tightly to Haru's face causing the irritated skin to turn a bit red. "Hey! Isn't that a bit rude? I doubt you have to worry about any of them defiling your cousin or her friend" Kyou bit back gruffly as he yanked Haru away from Kristen.
Kristen rolled her eyes "well I was more concerned wit Ash and Sarah doing the defiling…" Kristen mumbled to herself before shaking the thoughts from her mind, "anyway…come on we have to get to the main house right away" Kristen announced as she sighed in slight annoyance. Kristen looked towards Yuki and the others "well…if you would…please lead the way, that is" Kristen asked with a bow, as she rose she flashed them a cute hopeful smile. Tohru and Yuki's hearts melted at the face and with a slight reluctance (on Yuki's part) they agreed and begun to lead the way as Kyou and Haru followed grudgingly after.
At the Main House
"Enter" came a cool sharp voice from behind the sliding doors. Hatori inhaled deeply and exhaled again as he slid the door open, exposing the dark musky room to the two bright eyed girls beside him. Sarah looked up at Hatori curiously "aren't you going to go in first?" she asked with a cheery smile, Ashley grabbed the blonde by the arm and started to walk hastily into the room before Hatori could answer. "Hey!" Sarah squeaked as she stumbled into the room beside Ashley. Suddenly the door was slid shut and they were left all alone in dimly lit room "don't look so shocked…Hatori never goes in when people meet with Akito" Ashley whispered in Sarah's ear as they both shuffled a little further into the room.
Sarah nodded and placed her hands on her hips "I don't blame him…I mean he cant heal the sick if he goes blind from trying to talk to that jerk face" she scoffed. A sudden rustling of clothing brought both girls' attentions to the middle of the room where a lone figure sat up lazily staring curiously at the two girls. Sarah and Ashley recognized the ebony haired head of the family at once "oh…uhh…Hello Akito-san. So nice to meet you" Sarah said a bit nervously as she and Ashley bowed quickly before the slowly rising god. Akito curled his lip slightly in disgust as he approached the girls with an examining eye.
Ashley stepped closer to Sarah, as the god stood slightly towering over them "hmp I suppose you must be the two foreigners staying with my Yuki" Akito stated rather than asked as he lifted a pale hand to tilt Ashley's chin upward to meet his gaze. Rather than look down or away as others would the girl simply stared unblinkingly up into Akito's charcoal eyes, Akito let out a surprised grunt to show his displeasure "such insolence" the god hissed lowly before raising his left hand to strike Ashley hard across the face causing her to stumble back into Sarah for support.
"I'm surprised that Shigure would allow more rude ugly girls into his home…how disappointing" the dark haired god snapped coldly. Sarah glared up at Akito as she steadied her friend on her feet "I'm surprised your such an asshole" Sarah bit back as she shoved Akito's shoulders back. Akito's eyes were wide with rage and shock at Sarah's defiance "you…you ignorant little bitch!" Akito screamed as she lunged toward Sarah but Ashley blocked Akito's move with a kick in the stomach that sent Akito to his knees and gasping for breath. Ashley spat out the blood and saliva that had accumulated in her mouth from Akito's blow to her face. "Takes one to know one!" Ashley teased as she gave Akito the middle finger and then turned to high five Sarah.
"Nice come back Ash" Sarah complimented as she smiled at her friend, then suddenly Sarah's eyes widened as she looked over Ashley's shoulder "you might want to duck…" Sarah warned as she slid to the side. Ashley ignored her and turned around just in time to be tackled by Akito "Ah! What the heck!" Ashley grunted as she struggled to push Akito off of her by holding the thin god's arms to keep him from swinging. Sarah panicked "oh snap! Hold on Ashley!" she yelled out as she jumped onto Akito's back wrapping her legs around the ebony haired man's thin waist. Akito hissed in pain at the impact of the American teen on her back "I command you to get off of me! I'll kill you! I'll KILL YOU!" Akito yelled he wrenched one arm from Ashley's grip and reached back to grab Sarah by her shoulder length hair.
"Ow! Stupid Whore!" Sarah grunted as Akito yanked her hair, so Sarah did the only thing she could…she reached forward and grabbed a chunk of Akito's sweat damped hair and yanked it. Akito let out a growl at the tug before bucking backwards and flinging Sarah off of him and into a low wooden table with a brass tea set. "Sarah!" Ashley cried out towards her fallen friend, but in her moment of worry she allowed Akito to get the upper hand and wrap his long thin fingers around Ashley's throat. Ashley gagged and chocked as she struggled to breath through the vice like grip around her neck "you…. gasp…transvestite…gasp…bipolar…slut-monkey!" Ashley panted out as she felt her chest tighten and burn from lack of oxygen.
Ashley grabbed Akito's forearms with her hands and dug her nails deeply into the pale sensitive flesh and racked her nails up and down the arms trying to get Akito's grip to give a bit. Akito just gritted his teeth and clamped his hands tighter around Ashley's throat, Ashley's eyes began to roll to the back of her head as she began to feel dizzy from lack of oxygen to the brain "I'll teach you respect! I'LL SHOW YOU HOW WE TREAT RUDE NOSEY OUTSIDERS!" Akito cackled as his eyes clouded with blood lust and anger. Ashley tried to keep her eyes open as she felt herself slipping further into unconscious when suddenly she looked up and a small painful smirk lit her face causing Akito to falter a bit and loosen his grip.
"What the hell is so funny you filthy slut?" Akito demanded as Ashley coughed and gasped through small chuckles and Akito loosened his grip more so the young girl could answer him properly. Ashley closed her eyes and smiled "I was just thinking…. cough…about…how pissed Hatori will be when he…cough…finds out what happened to you" Ashley managed to croak out. Akito's brow knitted together curiously "what do you mean? What's happening to me you insolent cur!" Akito demanded angrily. "This" came a bemused voice from behind him causing Akito to freeze, just when Akito turned around to address this new presence he was met with a sharp pain to the side of his head causing him to fall over to the side with a great force.
Akito panted heavily as he felt a ringing vibration wrack his head while he lay blinking upward. There he saw Sarah standing over him holding a dented metal teakettle, Akito blinked in confusion as a numbing warmth washed over his face and down through his hair. "Wow…. excuse me Akito-san? Akito-san?" Sarah asked innocently as she leaned over the god, "I do believe that you just got knocked the fuck out!" the blonde shouted teasingly as Akito felt a dull darkness creep through the back of his mind until finally with one last blink he was immersed in total blackness.
Meanwhile Sarah was cracking up at her own joke as she set the kettle down wiped the blood that trickled down her cheek from the fresh cut above her eyebrow. Ashley slowly sat herself up as she regained her breath and touched the quickly bruising and bleeding flesh around her throat, she looked to her side and saw with disbelief an unconscious Akito sprawled out in a small pool of blood that dripped from his wet tussled hair. "Sweet tap dancing Jehovah! What did you do Sarah?" Ashley whispered with a dry throat as she looked up at her friend. Sarah looked over at her friend with wide eyes filled with relief as she dropped to her knees and engulfed the girl in a hug "thank god you're alive! I was worried Ash…are you ok?" Sarah gushed as she pulled back from her friend to examine the damage.
Ashley smiled weakly but stopped as the slightly swelled cut on her lip began to bleed again "I'm fine…which is more than I can say for that poor bastard over there" Ashley shrugged as she gestured to Akito. Sarah looked over at the unconscious Akito and cringed comically at the sight "yeah…that looks like it hurt. Oh well" Sarah shrugged as she lifted herself and Ashley to their feet, Ashley rubbed her sore lower back and shook her head at Akito "dang Sarah…what'd you hit him with the Great Wall of China?" Ashley asked dryly as she prodded Akito with the toe of her sock. Sarah rolled her eyes "of course not! He was choking you so I hit him in the head with this nifty little tea pot" Sarah said gesturing to the pot that lay discarded on the floor.
Ashley nodded in approval "nice shot by the way" Ashley commented as she brushed the dust off of her skirt, Sarah winked at her friend "thanks…I watch lots of wrestling" the blonde replied as she began to walk to the door. She stopped at the door and knocked roughly on the wooden pane of the sliding door "Yo Hatori-san! We know you're out there standing by the door as always…you better get in here Akito-san is in bad shape!" Sarah yelled through the door and before she could open her mouth to call out again the door slid open and Hatori rushed in wit his doctor bag in hand. "Oh my god! What the hell happened in here?" Hatori asked in shock as he bent down over Akito and began hurriedly inspecting the damage.
Ashley walked over to Sarah and slung an arm over her shoulder to lean on the slightly taller girl "you know what Hatori-san you should be ashamed of yourself. You were outside that door the whole time listening to us practically being murdered in here and you just now come in to intervene?" Ashley nagged as she watched Hatori begin to remove his coat and wrap it around Akito's body. Sarah turned to Ashley "but wait…. didn't you tell Hatori not to worry about us?" the blonde asked in a whisper. Ashley rolled her eyes and pouted, "I said not to worry about us. I didn't say for him to stand idly by while we get the crap beat out of us…there is a difference" Ashley huffed stubbornly.
Hatori lifted Akito up into his arms and turned hurriedly towards the door and began to make way for his office, as he reached the door he turned with a hard glare towards the two girls "Do you two have any idea what you've done?" Hatori asked with a tremble of anger in his voice. Both girls blinked at him dumbly and then at each other and then turned to him again "yeah…Sarah bashed Akito in the noggin with a tea pot after he tried to strangle me. Why?" Ashley responded dully as she looked up at Hatori with placid eyes. Hatori groaned in irritation and sweat dropped "never mind" he grumbled as he began to walk out again. The young doctor stopped before disappearing down the hall "I'm calling Shigure, Akito is still breathing but he isn't responsive to anything else…it's best that after today you never have anything to do with us again…we can deal with those arrangements later though…until then go wait outside" Hatori said in a stern voice.
"But…" Sarah began to protest but Hatori cut her off "not now. Just get out! I don't want to see you back in this building until that damn dog gets here!" Hatori commanded with a booming voice as he sprinted down the hall with Akito.
Sarah and Ashley could only look towards each other with equal looks of anxiety "uh-oh. He sounds mad as hell…we better get out of here before he erases our memories or calls the cops" Sarah reasoned as she began to walk towards the sliding doors leading from Akito's room to the outside compound. Ashley followed "do you think he'll call the police for real?" the dark skinned girl asked as they jumped from the slightly raised porch to the soft grass below. "Of course! I mean we kind of like beat their leader into a coma with a blunt object" Sarah said sarcastically as both girls jogged towards the front of the building where they had entered to grab their shoes.
Ashley suddenly stopped as they reached the mat housing their school shoes "whoa…whoa! Hold up a second. What do you mean 'we'?" Ashley asked as she turned on Sarah "you're the one who clobbered him in the head with the metal tea kettle" Ashley countered as she stepped away from Sarah with her arms crossed over her chest. Sarah's mouth dropped "what! I was trying to save you! We're friends we're supposed to stick together!" Sarah protested in her defense. Ashley shrugged "hey I don't remember anything in the friendship manual about having to go to jail with your friend for their mistakes…but don't worry I'll visit you in the big house" Ashley said with a cool smile as she patted Sarah on the back. Sarah sweat dropped "thanks a lot…" she mumbled sarcastically. Ashley pulled her friend into a tight hug "don't worry Sarah…I won't let the po po get you!" Ashley exclaimed as she gripped her friend by the shoulders.
Sarah frowned "but I don't wanna be a fugitive" she whined as Ashley patted her head in sympathy, "who's going to be a fugitive?" came a rugged voice from behind them. Both girls turned wit ha startled jump to find Kyou, Kristen, Haru, Tohru, and Yuki walking up to the house they stood in front of. Sarah and Kristen looked at each other and then to the other teens "uh…oh hey what a coincidence meeting you guys here!" Sarah said with a nervous laugh. But suspicion over their conversation was quickly forgotten by a loud gasp from Tohru "oh my goodness…Sarah-kun…Ashley-kun what happened to you are you alright?" the onigiri asked with worry as she approached the girls. Kristen narrowed her eyes suspiciously as se took in the girl's appearances.
Sarah's hair was mused up and there was dry blood on the side of her face and on her scratched and bruised knees, there was also an inch long cut above her eye and her shirt was torn on the sleeve a bit. Ashley on the other hand had dried blood caked on the side of her swollen lip and her usually copper skin was blue and purple around her neck with small whelps that looked as if they were caused by finger nails. "Holy crap what did you guys get into?" Kyou asked as his face contorted into shock at the girl's minor injuries, Kristen raced over to her cousin and friend "are you guys ok? Who did this to you?" Kristen asked wit anger and concern in her hazel eyes.
"Akito" both girls chimed, Yuki and the others went rigid at hearing that name and Yuki felt his fists tighten into balls as he thought of that monster Akito once again inflicting his wrath on innocent people. But this time Yuki was even more disgusted because this time it hadn't just been another member of the cursed Sohmas…it had been an innocent outsider. "That bastard" Kyou cursed as he thought of that wretch Akito throwing his weight around once again, Haru simply grabbed Yuki's shoulder comfortingly as he saw the boy tense up. Kristen however wasn't so calm "What? That bastard! I'll kill him! How dare he do this to you guy!" Kristen shouted enraged as she began to ball up her fists.
Sarah and Ashley looked at each other and smiled "well if you think we look bad you should see the other guy" Ashley said cryptically as she rocked back and forth on her heels. All eyes were suddenly on her "what do you mean the other guy? What did you guys do?" Kristen asked curiously, both girls looked up towards the cloud and whistled innocently causing Kyou and the others to become even more suspicious "wait a minute…Johnson-san why were you and Ingram-san meeting with Akito?" Yuki asked the two roughed up girls. Ashley sighed in defeat and looked up at Yuki "well…you see we came by the main house to visit Momiji since he was absent today and then we met Hatori-san…" Ashley began to trail off with a guilty look.
"And…?" Haru and Kyou coaxed the girl to continue but Ashley simply looked over at Sarah with pleading eyes. Sarah took a deep breath "and…. and…uhh…well…" she tried to start but the words wouldn't form. Unfortunately it wasn't quite enough to satisfy some people "SPIT IT OUT WOMAN!" Kyou and Kristen shouted impatiently, "and then we got into a fight with Akito!" Sarah blurted out before clapping a hand over her mouth. "You what?" Tohru and Yuki gasped upon hearing the confession "b-but how? Why? What happened?" Yuki sputtered, as he looked up wide-eyed at the to foreign girls. Ashley shrugged and pointed at Sarah "Sarah smacked Akito in the head with a metal tea pot while he was strangling me" Ashley blurted out nonchalantly.
"Way to go!" Haru piped up as he gave Sarah a thumbs up but he was quickly reprimanded by Kyou's fist to the back of his head "idiot! That isn't a good thing…. well…. maybe just a little but…it's still wrong" the cat reasoned although he actually could care less about what happened to Akito but he couldn't bare the look of sadness on Tohru's face. "Poor Akito-san! I hope he's alright" Tohru murmured as tears filled her eyes Sarah shrugged "well besides the scratches and the big bloody gash in his head I'm sure he's pretty good" Sarah said trying to be positive. Ashley and Kristen sweat dropped "this is bad…very bad…do you two realize the trouble you could get into?" Kristen warned in a panicky voice.
Sarah nodded vigorously "exactly! We're doomed1 now we're all going to prison and we'll never get home!" Sarah whined. Kristen cocked an eyebrow and looked at Sarah seriously "whoa…whoa…what do you mean by 'we'? I wasn't even here when it happened you're the one who clubbed Akito in the head" Kristen protested. Sarah simply sweat dropped as Ashley nodded "wait what exactly went on here?" Yuki demanded as the arguing was becoming too much for him. Ashley and Sarah looked at each other before shrugging and turning back to Yuki "well…. you might want to sit down" Ashley warned as she gestured to the porch.
Yuki sighed and nodded as he and the others wandered over to the porch to take a sit, Kristen wasn't sure what was going on but she had a feeling that this would be a long after noon.
