"Look, this one's kind of fucking hard; we'll split up to find the soul-- it'll be faster." Remi sighed and Tohru gave a dutiful nod. "Right, you go right and I'll go left."
She turned, walking over the sidewalk and glancing around. Tohru'd been looking awhile now and time was running out. Poor Tohru started to panic.
She jumped almost ten feet when she heard a noise. She quickly spun around to see what it was.
There facing her was a girl that looked just like her. Tohru jumped back in surprise and the girl did just the same. She bent forward and glanced at the girl; and once again the girl did just the same.
"Oh, its just a reflection," Tohru said relieved, heaving a sigh.She glanced around, 'Remi, would really laugh at me if he saw that.'
She glanced at her reflection once more. Just then it flashed a big devious grin. Tohru paled and jumped back alarm.
"W-wh-what!" Tohru shrieked.
Remi who had just dealt with the soul in question promptly spun around and ran over to see what Tohru had screamed about.
"Skanky fucking crackwhore!" Remi yelled pointing at the other girl and has he drew closer to them. "You do fucking well to fucking leave her alone, skanky ho bitch!"
"Aw, what? No kind greeting?" The girl laughed her eyes and tone cold and calm, she had a low pitched almost sultry voice.
"Bitch, go away! I'm fucking warning you!" Remi fumed, narrowing the girl with a death glare that would have made any normal person run home in fear, crying to his mommy.
"Aw, I just came to see your new temp, don't be so mean," she said in that eerie calm voice of hers, and fake pouted and then turned to Tohru.
"Go away!" Remi growled seething calling back her attention.
"Or you'll what!" she laughed mocking him, "you'll swear at me till I go away cowering!"
Remi's intense glare only darkened and he bared his teeth and growled and his hands balled up into fists, turning the knuckles white.
"Aw,poor Remi not allowed to touch me," she teased, "lest he get into BIG trouble!"
"Um... excuse me," Tohru asked the girl, "who are you?"
The strange girl who looked to be her twin turned a weary eye to her.
"Narcise Coleska," she said coldly. "Shame Jullen has you paired up with this loser. You coulda come and hung out with me."
"No thank you," Tohru stated flatly. Something was telling her that this girl was just trouble and she didn't like her. It was the first time Tohru had seen someone and right away realized she didn't like them. "Remi's not a loser, so why don't you go away? No one wants you here."
"Oh, you think so!" Narcise spat, animosity leaking out of the cracks in her tone.
Tohru nodded. This Narcise was now staring daggers at her. But something in Tohru wouldn't allow her to be afraid; in fact, she gave a glare of her own, 'Remi hates this girl.'
"Guess I heard wrong," Narcise said voice unchanging and glare unmoved.
"Bitch, didn't I say to fucking get lost!" Remi growled.
"Yeah, but why would I listen to you!' she laughed, waving and covering her mouth with one hand. "You can't hurt me! You'd get into big trouble!"
Just then she felt a quick and sharp pain on her right cheek as Tohru's hand connected with her face. It made a very loud smacking noise. Narcise turned to her shocked, a big red hand print gracing her left cheek.
A smile curled around Remi's lips. The look on her face was absolutely priceless. He laughed.
"Shut up!" she yelled turning to him, trying to regain her composure but only losing her temper.
She turned her glare back to Tohru and made to move closer and give Tohru what Narcise thought she had coming to her. Remi hand gently curled around Tohru's wrist and he pulled her behind him, blocking Narcise from getting to her.
"Move!" she yelled, now livid, trying to push past him.
"No." He shook his head, pushing her back.
"You move, now!" She commanded angrily, stopping and pointing at him.
That only made him laugh at her. She tried to rush him. He pushed her away again and she landed hard on her butt.
"Look, Tohru's my charge and if you're trying to hurt her then I can use whatever means necessary. So don't push me," Remi told her using her own tone against her.
"No you can't!" she shouted getting up.
"Yes. I can," Remi said sternly arms crossed. "That's why I'm with her, to protect her from harm. That doesn't define who from and why."
Narcise growled angrily, "Fine. I'm leaving." Her eyes narrowed at the two of them. "But if you think this is over you're wrong! Not even by a long shot!" And with that she disappeared.
"That was fucking awesome! You see that look? It was priceless!" Remi laughed turning to face her a big smile on his face.
Tohru smiled back, "I guess with her around it was easy to see why you didn't like me."
"Yeah, well sorry," Remi said, in all honest truth he was a little ashamed.
"No, its fine," Tohru said, "but we should get going before we're late."
She took out the slip of paper and read the next destination to him. "All right let's hit the road!" he said and they were on their way.
