Oh, and whilst I was writing this, I'm watching smosh! Best web show in the world! So EPIC!
"Mom!" Tohru cried happily with tears streaming down her cheeks. She ran as fast as she could, to the picnic, all set up on a blanket with purple flowers decorated on it. Two people were sitting on that blanket. Two people, for which, she cared deeply about. Her optimistic mother, the red butterfly, and a man she only saw in old photographs, but made her gasp loudly.
"Dad…?" She asked inaudibly. Her small voice was barely a whisper, but the man had heard it. His chuckle rang through the peaceful realm of cherry blossoms and sunshine. He was a mid ranged older gentleman with dark brown hair, much like her own. His eyes were of a rich dark brown, that radiated kindness. His smile was a sweet and pure one, and in his strong arms, was her mother. She smiled at Tohru and gestured her to come over. Tohru walked slowly, not completely sure what would happen. But the warmth of just being here with her family again made her smile. She quickly sat down, and her mother put her arms around the innocent riceball. Her father smiled, andalso gave the riceball a hug.
"So, how's school been?" Tohru's mother, Kyoko asked. Tohru looked at her, and her smile began to falter.
"I'm sorry, Mom, but I failed one of my midterms. I'm so sorry, I'll try harder, so then I get a good education like you wanted me to!" Tohru said with a determined look in her eyes.
"Ah, there's the Tohru I know," Kyoko said, as she ruffled Tohru's pin straight brown hair.
"I've heard you're living with the Sohma boys now, is that correct?" Tohru's father, Katsuya asked. At first, Tohru thought he would be angered that she would do such a thing, like the relatives she once lived with, but as she started to stare up into his face, she saw a big grin.
"Yes, but not anymore...," Tohru said with a sad smile.
"And why not?" Katsuya asked. He had raised his eyebrow, and was now staring at Tohru intensely
"Well, because I'm now dead, aren't I?" Tohru asked. "That's what this place is, right? A memorial for the dead, of places they always wanted to go to, and people they wanted to go with."
"No, no, Tohru, honey. You're not dead." Kyoko said with a whisper.
"In fact, you're leaving soon," Katsuya said. "One last thing before you're gone: Remember the name- Akki Miyamoto. You'll meet her soon enough."
"Wait, what?: Tohru asked. But it was already too late. Her parents were rising like a fog (reminds me of 'Like A Boss' heh heh ), into the blue, cloudless sky. Her world was turning blank once again, and then- it was gone.
"Tohru." Hatori said. He had been calling to her for the past 10 minutes, but she showed no signs of waking up.
"Wake up, dammit!" Kagura yelled furiously. Tohru was one of her closest friends, she couldn't let this be the end of her.
All of the Sohma members were at the hospital with Tohru, excluding Akito. The Host club members were also there. The twins looked very worried, for they had grown an attachment upon the girl. Ayame had ditched his usual cheerful disposition and was looking distressfully at Tohru. Tamaki was on the verge of crying, and he tried to help her everytime Hatori barked an order. Mori and Haru, who were the monotone bandits, remained calm, but nobody could mistake them for not being worried. Saki and Uo were in the corner, after Uo had violently tried to shake the girl to wake her up, while Saki dragged her to the corner. Momiji and Honey were acting like little kids, asking, 'Will Tohru be okay?'and 'What's wrong with Tohru-chan?'. Kyo and Yuki were also looking at the girl they loved with pleading eyes, telling her to wake up. Kyoya was writing something in his book as always, and Haruhi was staring with a blank face. Hatori looked very stressed and unprofessional. His hair was matted and stuck to his forehead. His eyes were unfocused and blurry.
"Mmm..." Tohru slurred. She slowly got up and blinked her eyes a couple times. Her neck felt sore. Then she noticed everyone.
"Tohru!" Momiji cried out, and tried to hug her. Kyo pulled him aside.
"Leave her alone, you stupid rabbit!" Kyo yelled.
"Waah! Kyo's hurting me! You probably wanna keep Tohru all to yourself!" Momiji whined.
"Momiji, leave her alone. I'm afraid Miss Honda isn't feeling well." Yuki said.
"Okay, Yuki," Momiji agreed.
"Hey! Why the hell are you listening to that damn rat?" Kyo demanded. But he was interrupted by Tohru.
"Oh! What's wrong? Where am I?" Tohru asked.
"Tohru, lie down." Hatori commanded. "Don't stress your neck."
"Why is it so sore?" She asked, lying down.
"I'm assuming that Akito has done this to you, because during the last check-up, you had showed no abnormal functions. It seems that your trachea has collapsed due to weak cartilage in your windpipe. That is why you couldn't breathe earlier. Don't worry, though, we have replaced it with a special circular tube. Tell me, Miss Honda, what happened between you and Akito?" Hatori asked.
"Well, um..." Tohru began.
A/N: And that's all the time we have today folks! Sorry for the cliffhanger, but it keeps it interesting and suspenseful, you know? :) Anyways, please review, and maybe I'll post another chapter before my 2 week vacation. Yep, going to my dad's house again. Okay, bye!
