Chapter 5
Disclaimer: I do not own Agatha Christie's work(s) or Fruits Basket!
A/N: This chapter was brought upon by force, so I'm sorry if y'all don't like it! Oh, and it's kinda cheesey, but this is what was requested : )
--Yuki and Tohru---
Tohru has linked her arms with Yuki's, and the two are now looking around for the janitor's closet; they need to find that key! They continue to search, when Tohru surprises Yuki, saying, "Yuki, why do people have to die?"
"Uhm… well, Miss Honda… I suppose it's just part of how the world works," he says thoughtfully. "You're thinking of Miss Saki, aren't you? I'll miss her, too. But we can only provide her with a chance for her family to respect their daughter with a proper funeral."
"I just can't believe she's gone. Whatever's going on is… I don't know. I've seen movies with Uo and Kyo where high-schoolers are terrorized by psycho people, but I don't believe that that's what's happening to us. It can't be…" she answers, as a tear slips down her cheek.
"Hey, don't be like that. It'll be ok, I promise. I won't ever let anything happen to you. You're safe," Yuki says, as he wipes the tear gently with the back of his thumb.
Tohru gives a faint smile, and she places her head comfortably on his shoulder as they begin to walk again.
In a few minutes, Tohru, having perked up some, says, "Yuki, I'm thirsty. The water fountain's right over there; I'll be right back, okay?"
"All right. I'll be right here when you come back," he says with a smile.
Tohru smiles back and walks toward the water fountain. Yuki leans against the railing, looking upon the bottom level.
((RiIiIiInNnNnNgG!!!))
Yuki's phone rings, and he takes it out of his pocket.
"This is Yuki Sohma."
…..((nothing))…..
"Hello?"
Yuki, confused, asks again, "Hello?!"
"Hello, Mr. Sohma. I just thought you should know that it's very dangerous to lean against the railing like that. Wouldn't want you to fall," says an undistinguishable voice.
"Who is this?" Yuki asks with a hint of confusion and fright.
….((nothing))….
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep!!!! The phone goes, as the call is disconnected.
"What th-" Yuki starts, but is cut off as he feels a sharp pain in his back. He loses his balance, and…
Meanwhile, Tohru is walking back to the bench where she left Yuki.
As she is walking, she sees a tall, black shadow disappearing into the emergency exit staircase. She starts to panic and looks around for Yuki and the bench.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!" Tohru screams loudly and clearly. She runs over to the bench and sees Yuki on the ground of the lower level of the mall.
---Kyo and Uo---
((ThUmP))
Kyo and Uo hear the sound of something hitting the floor violently. They turn around and look to where they heard the sound come from. They see a limp body slumped on the floor under the railing.
Yuki… They both think silently, as they walk closer and see who it is.
They hear a series of thuds from behind them, and both of them whip around to see Tohru coming down the stairs at lightning speed.
"Is he all right? Did Yuki go unconscious? Is he okay?! Is he alive?!" she wails, running to his side.
She puts her fingertips to his wrist, trying to get a pulse. She begins to tell the others of his state, when they hear a voice.
"It's too late for your friend. Don't waste your time on him, Precious… He was nice, handsome, too. Oh, well… Have I gotten your attention yet? I hope so; I don't want to kill all of your friends, Sweetheart. I only want to see you happy. With me. So just come to me. Love me," says a voice over the intercom.
The voice… Not male, not female…. Maybe not even human…
