(A/N: well, here is another chapter, I was hoping for a bigger fan response.. –sighs- o well, I guess this story really isn't a big hit yet…. O and the italics is flashbacks, k? swn)
Tohru, Kyo, Yuki, and Shigure were sitting at the table when Arianna and Ebony walked in the house. Ebony didn't make eye contact with anyone, just kept her gaze on the floor as she had her hand around the heart necklace that hung around her neck.
They sat down at the table and starting eating like nothing happened. It was silent until Arianna broke it with an apology. "I'm sorry I couldn't help you with dinner Tohru." Arianna said, not looking at Tohru, but at her bowl of soup.
"Oh, it's fine, really." Tohru smiled.
Kyo looked angry. "Is there something wrong?" Ebony asked him. He frowned.
"No." He said bluntly. Ebony nodded and looked down again.
The next day was Sunday. They had off, so Hatori came over first thing in the morning.
Tohru raced to the door. "What did he say?" She asked looking up at Hatori hopefully. Yuki and Kyo casually walked in and stared at Hatori.
"Get the girls." Kyo sighed and walked up the stairs to where Arianna and Ebony where. He knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" Ebony asked.
"Kyo. Come downstairs." He said bluntly. Ebony opened the door and Arianna and her sister walked out.
They walked downstairs and were greeted by Hatori. Arianna gulped. "What?" She asked.
"I don't have to erase your memories." He said simply.
Arianna and Ebony smiled. Tohru smiled also. "Thank you." Ebony said and bowed.
"Well, I have to be going, I have things I need to do. Please excuse me for leaving so soon." Hatori said and bowed. He turned around and left.
Tohru embraced the sisters. "This is so wonderful!" She smiled.
Ebony nodded. "TOHRU DON'T HUG ME!" Arianna yelped and tried to escape Tohru's bear hug.
"Well, I better go and do some yard work." Ebony said and bowed, and walked out the door.
"I'll go and help you Miss Wilson." Yuki said and followed her out.
"I'll help you in the kitchen Tohru." Arianna smiled and walked into the kitchen with Tohru.
Kyo looked at Shigure. "I wonder why Akito is allowing this?" Shigure thought out loud.
"I don't know. But something's wrong with those sisters." Kyo said and rested his head on his hand that was propped against the table.
"I know there is something they're not telling us." Shigure said solemnly and sighed. 'And I know Akito knows something too.'
A bird dipped its head into a cool fountain, while lazy eyes watched it. A villainous smirk caressed a young man's face, and his low, sultry, lazy voice spoke to no one in particular. "Wilson Arianna, and Ebony- I know your secret, and I will use it against you. You couldn't possibly be able to lift our curse, let alone your own." The purple haired man laughed as the bird flew away. "You'll die before you could ever lift the curse." The man known as Akito laughed even harder before he picked up the fountain and through it across the room.
He breathed heavily as he watched the water drip from the wall. He looked at the shattered pieces of the fountain. "You girls are just like Honda Tohru. Stupid, naïve, and ugly. You'll never fix the curse." He said and slid down the wall, before returning to daydreaming. "I'll watch you two break like the china dolls you are." He laughed again before daydreaming.
"Ebbie?" Arianna knocked on the door before entering. After dinner Ebony retreated to her room. "Ebbie, y-you okay?" Arianna asked.
"I'm fine." Ebony scoffed as she laid on her bed. She had fire in her eyes and she had a scowl etched on her features.
"You sure?" Arianna started to talk in English now.
Ebony sighed. "Not really." She also too started to talk in English.
Arianna sat down on the floor next to Ebony's bed. She sighed. "You wanna practice?"
"No." Ebony said fiercly and continued to stare at the ceiling.
"What's wrong?" Arianna asked again.
"Nothing." Ebony said coldly, glaring at the ceiling.
"Something has to be wrong." Arianna persisted, placing her hand on her hips.
"Okay, there is something wrong." Ebony turned and laid on her stomach. She stared at her sister. Well, glared was the better term for it.
"What is it?" Arianna asked, worry in her eyes.
Ebony took a deep breath. "I had a dream about Grandma." Smoke was literally coming out of her ears.
"Why do you hate her so much?" Arianna asked quietly.
"How can you NOT!" Ebony lashed out, tears on the brink of falling.
Arianna's face turned sour. "Because,- she loved us!" She said forcefully.
"Oh yeah?" Ebony laughed at her sister. "Then how come we have these?" Ebony hissed and pointed to the wristband she had on her wrist, and the belt Ari had around her waist.
"Because!" Arianna persisted. "Well, then why do we have these?" Arianna asked, pulling out her heart necklace and shoving it in Ebony's face.
"So the witch would make it seem like she loved us." Ebony said.
"But she did!" Arianna said in a small squeal. She glared at her sister now, crying not to cry.
"How can you be so naïve?" Ebony said staring at her sister. "She made mom and dad hate us! She made us what we are now! How can she love us if she cursed us? Huh!" Ebony whispered harshly, not wanting the others to hear.
Arianna couldn't think of anything to say. "I-" She started, tears falling down her cheeks.
"Yeah, that's right. Mom and dad? DO you remember them? Because I remember them! I remember exactly what mom said to me before she "left on vacation"!" Ebony now yelled.
"Stop it." Arianna whispered as she cried.
"'Ebony, be good, watch over your sister. We'll see you soon.'" Ebony repeated. "Ari! She didn't even hug us! She didn't tell us she loved us! And dad wasn't any better!" Ebony cried. "'Bye Ebbie, be good for your grandmother.'" Ebony repeated.
"Ebbie-" Arianna started.
"Those were our bags Ari! Not there's, ours!" Ebony cried. "We were the ones going on "vacation"!"
"EBONY!" Arianna snapped. She had a look of anger on her face. Outside the window it started to downpour and the wind howled. Arianna was surprised that there wasn't an earthquake because of Ebbie.
Ebony breathed heavily. She stared at her sister. "It's true." Ebony said and shrugged her shoulders as she cried.
"Mom and Dad loved us!" Arianna whispered harshly.
"If that's true, why did they leave?" Ebony hissed as she turned her back on her sister and stared at the wall.
Arianna was silent; she didn't know what to say to her sister. "Mom and Dad were afraid of us Ari. Don't you remember, the day that mom stopped saying she loved us when we went to bed?"
"But I want to go to Jenny's!" Arianna yelled as the wind picked up outside at a dangerous speed.
"Why can't we go?" Ebony started.
"Because girls, I don't feel comfortable letting you out yet. You're only 8." Their mom smiled.
"That's not fair." Ebony said, her fists clenched as the ground started to shake violently.
"Ebony-" Their mother started. Arianna's anger made the wind pick up even more. A look of pure fear crossed their mother's face. "You can GO! JUST STOP!" Their mother shrieked and fell to her knees crying.
"Thanks mom!" Arianna said and hugged her mother as she dashed out the door.
"Thanks mom, we love you." Ebony said as she followed Arianna out the door.
"Don't touch me." Their mother cried quickly as she held her hands to her face as she cried into them.
"Ebony." Arianna started. She was shaking as she cried. She looked at her sister, who was crying as well. She ran to her sister and hugged her. "That was the first time you caused and earthquake." Arianna cried. After a minute, she spoke up again. "Why?" Arianna asked. "Why us?" She cried into Ebony's shoulder.
"Because- it's the curse." Ebony cried and held her sister.
"Ebbie, I don't want this curse, I don't want to be this way. I don't want to control water and air. I don't want to be the moon!" She cried harder as Ebony did too.
"Neither do I Ari, neither do I." She cried. "Grandma, she could have cursed herself, but she chose us instead. If that doesn't show love, then I don't know what does." Ebony said sarcastically.
"Ebbie, can we tell them?" Arianna slowly stopped crying, she let go of her sister and wiped her eyes.
Ebony switched back to Japanese. "Well, I guess we can." Ebony sniffled and put her arm around her sister and they walked down the steps to where the rest of the Sohma's were.
"Here goes nothing." Arianna said as she gulped and they made their way to the sitting area.
