Sohma Estate:
"Has all of the idiots left?" Akito asked his loyal Kureno from his bed.
"I haven't seen anyone." Kureno dutifully replied
"I have a feeling some fools haven't left yet, let's go check." Akito got up, slipped his pale, bony feet into his shoes.
"You shouldn't get up, you're not feeling well." Kureno began but Akito slapped him.
"You have no clue how I feel! Let's go!" he snapped and left, followed by Kureno.
Hatori's group:
"All I see is an empty room!" Kyo said, annoyed.
"It's not empty anymore now that we're in it." Kira pointed out.
"Let's just go, there's nothing in here." Hatori said. Suddenly the door slammed shut behind them.
"S-s-see? W-we're fine." Tohru said shakily.
"This is just like some movie I saw." Haru commented
"What happen next?" Yuki asked.
"The lights went out."
"There's no electricity." Kira said, hoping that nothing bad happens, but as soon as she said that, a draft blew out the flames on the torches.
"EEEEK!" Tohru screamed and buried her face into Yuki's chest.
"Is everyone alright?" Hatori asked, pulling out his lighter and flicking it on. The small flame lit his face up.
"Can we just GO?" Kyo yelled.
"The damn door's locked." Haru said, a slight panic and anger in his voice, he was on the brink of turning black.
"I'm fine." Kira breathed, it was obvious that she was just as scared as everyone else.
"What happens next in that movie?" Kyo asked Haru
"You can't seriously be relying on a fictional movie Kyo." Hatori said
"How the hell am I suppose to know?" Haru shouted at Kyo
"Hello? Ayame?" Kira had called Ayame on her cell phone
"Kira!" Ayame sobbing was heard throughout the room. Yuki just sighed and hoped that nothing happen to anyone else.
"Are you guys alright? There's some weird stuff going on where we are." she asked, concerned
"Gure-san…" Ayame sobbed.
"What happen to Shigure?" Kira's voice rose to panic as everyone held their breath for the news.
"He…"
"HE WHAT?" Kira yelled.
"HE CHEATED ON ME!" Ayame sobbed harder.
Kira shoved the phone to Hatori and irritably said, "You talk to the idiot!"
"Ayame? What's going on?" Hatori sighed and asked.
"Eh? Tori-san?" Ayame said with hope.
"What's going on?" Hatori repeated
"Oh! Shigure has been cheating on me with Momiji and Hiro made Kisa cry and we're in this dark room, three doors down on the left, by the broken window, with antique furniture, a gorgeous red wine color, and we found some absolutely amazing wine and sake but we've been too busy screaming at each other to take advantage of our luck." Ayame reported promptly without stopping for a breath.
Kira heard and muttered, "Asshole…"
"You and everyone should stay in that room for the night. Is your torch still lit?" Hatori asked
"Oh yes!"
"Good. Good bye."
"Bye Tori-san!" and there was a click and Hatori flipped the phone shut. He handed the phone back to Kira as he try to re-light a torch with his lighter but with no luck. Kyo was rubbing to torches together but only got some smoke.
"How are we going to get out?" Yuki asked
"DID YOU HEAR THAT?" Kira shrieked
"What?" Hatori stared at the girl who was turning in circles, observing the surroundings. He finally got his torch lit but his lighter ran out of fuel so he used his torch to light everyone else.
"Hear what?" Haru had turned back white
"I didn't hear anything." Tohru said
"Me either! It's probably your head-" Kyo began but was cut off by Kira yelling,
"There it was again!" and suddenly another draft came by, blowing out the torches.
"I just lit up all of the torches!" Hatori cried out in frustration. He then felt something surround his feet and he heard squeaking.
"What's touching my feet?" Tohru wondered aloud
"It better be you, damn rat!" Kyo accused.
"Rats?" Kira said and the torches spontaneously re-lit themselves and they were surrounded by hundred of rats.
"EEK!" Tohru screamed, jumping into Yuki's arms
"It's just some rats Honda-san." Haru said but he felt Kira move closer to him. Kira bent down and picked one up.
"What are you doing? You're going to get rabies!" Kyo grabbed the rat and set it back down.
"Shut up stupid cat!" Yuki yelled, shifting Tohru slightly in his arms.
"Please stop-" Tohru begged
"Who're you calling stupid?" Kyo yelled back
"You! Obviously stupid cat!"
"Who're you calling cat?" Kira asked. There was silence as all of the rats all scurried away into the shadows.
"Would you two stop fighting before something gets out of hand?" Hatori nodded towards Kyo and Yuki and glanced at Kira.
"Did you hear that?" Tohru asked
"Yeah, I heard a 'Moo'"
"Don't look at me!" Haru said as everyone except Kira looked at him.
"It's over there…" Kira pointed at a shadow with her torch, revealing 3 cows right there.
"Um… why are there cows here? Rats made sense but cows…" Kira trailed off, clearly confused.
"Would you guys quit calling your buddies?" Kyo yelled at Yuki and Haru.
"This is strange…" Hatori commented.
"Of course it is! The whole family is strange!" Kira said
"We're not doing anything." Haru answered
"Rats and cows? Why would any animal be living here?" Tohru asked
"I know! Seriously, I bet Akito keeps some animals here just for fun." Kira agreed as her phone rang.
"I wonder which idiot it is this time…" Kyo muttered, remembering Ayame.
"Hello?" she answered
"I'm surprise you still get a signal here. We're at least 400 feet underground." Hatori mentioned
"WHERE ARE YOU?" Jake's voice went into panic
"Oh, that idiot…" Kyo muttered jealously
"I got snowed in at the family estate!" she yelled back
"Where are you?" she asked
"I'm at the club you said we were going to meet!"
"Oh my God! I forgot!" Kira cried back
"No shit! Where are you? I'll come by with a shovel!"
"Um, it's a huge house with the sign 'Sohma Estate' and you go left where there's this huge house."
"I'll have to walk so it's going to be awhile, the streets are all slushy."
"Ok. See you!" Kira said, about to hang up
"Yeah. Later." he said casually
"Be careful." she whispered and hung up.
"The cows left." Haru said
"Damn! I was hungry!" Kyo cried out.
"You weren't seriously going to kill the, were you?" Kira yelled at him, hugging Haru.
"Besides, Haru's allergic to beef! Her arms were around his neck from behind and head leaned on his shoulder.
"So? He didn't have to eat!" Kyo yelled back, glaring at Haru.
"I saw something!" Tohru screamed
Shigure and Ayame's group:
"Ho, ho! And a barrel of bum!" Shigure sang, obviously drunk, holding a bottle more than half empty.
"Not bum! Dumb! Dumb!" Ayame cried out in bliss, just as equally drunk.
"Whoee! Whee! The room is spinning! So many pretty colors!" Momiji had drank some because he was so thirsty and was spinning in the center of the room
"Yum! Not dumb! Hee hee! You all are dumb! Hee hee!" Hiro giggled for he took a sip too many from thirst but manage to insult all the same. Kisa had fell asleep on an old couch as all the men and boys drank.
"Me call Hat-san!" Shigure cried out and stumbled to Ayame for his cell phone.
"No! Me!" Ayame yelled back and dialed. Shigure then grabbed the phone and giggled,
"Hi Kira! Whatcha doin'? We drinking good drink!" as Ayame, Momiji and Hiro laughed.
"Stop Momo! You're making me dizzy! Shigure yelled at the rabbit as Momo since his name was too long.
"I'm Momiji!" Momiji yelled back, angrily
"Hello? Shigure? Ayame? Are you guys DRUNK? Where's Kisa?" Kira's voice came out as a tiny squeak through the speaker part.
"Haha! Kira sound funny! Haha!" Hiro laughed. And with that, Hiro grabbed the phone and hung up. He then threw it on the floor and stomped on it into million of pieces.
"I hate her! I hate her! Die! DIE!" Hiro jumped up and down on the tiny crushed phone.
"Ungh? Hiro-chan? What are you doing?" Kisa woke up, rubbing her eyes as she stared at Hiro.
"HIWO! That MY PHONE!" Ayame cried out but his words came out all slurred up.
"I hate her!" he continued stomping on it
"Hiro!" Kisa tried to stop him but it was no use.
"Then go stomp on her! Stop crushing Aaya's phone!" Shigure yelled
"Eh? Hiro go crazy! Crazy, crazy, crazy!" Momiji sang and then raged,
"STOP IT HIRO! YOU ASSHOLE!" causing everyone to stare at him.
"SHUT UP!" Hiro screamed and jumped on to the moody rabbit.
Hatori's group:
"Hello? HELLO?" Kira said into the phone.
"I see those idiots put all that alcohol to good use…" Hatori muttered
"From what I heard, Hiro and Momiji seem drunk too…" Kira said, shutting off her phone
"They're underage!" Yuki yelled, angry with his older brother and older cousin stupidity.
"Why are you turning off your phone?" Haru asked
"My battery's running low, I'll turn it back on when we need it. Where's the thing you saw Tohru?"
"I don't know. Maybe it ran away." Tohru guessed, shrugging. Things didn't seem so scary anymore.
'I just saw something!" Kyo yelled, pointing towards a dark corner.
"I see something over here." Haru pointed at another corner.
"There's something here too." Kira stared at the third corner.
"I think we're surrounded by what ever it is." Hatori stared at the last corner, the fourth corner. There was a loud growl that erupted in the large room and four pair of bright orange eyes came towards them.
"Is it some cats?" Tohru asked
"No…" Hatori trailed
"I think it's-" Haru began but Kira finished
"A tiger."
"Tiger?" Tohru whispered softly as the room burst into bright torchlights around the room. They saw a group of rats, scurrying around them, then the cows and the tigers. Rabbits came hopping out and stood near the cow and the rats, away from the tiger.
"This is some fucked up zoo Akito has…" Kira muttered as she watch a lizard crawl on to a rabbit's head.
"Is there perhaps some theme to these animals?" Tohru asked, she was scared but she had a feeling that no animal will attack.
"I don't know." Kyo replied as he watch several snakes slithered up Hatori and some lizards nearby.
"What is with you and snakes?" Haru asked the stoical doctor.
"Shut up." he glared at the white-haired man. There was a trotting sound behind them and they saw two stallions, up on their hind legs.
"This animal thing is like the zodiac." Kira commented as she watch the animals separate into cliques, the rats ran around Yuki while the cows kept nudging Haru and the snakes and lizards crawled up Hatori. The rabbit were hopping around with the tigers and the horses.
"Yeah, it does." Yuki said as he tried to shoo some rats away from him and Tohru.
"Ok, if it's a horse now, then what comes next?" Haru wondered, thinking
"Sheep!" Tohru exclaimed as some sheep and rams saunter over to them but staying close to the tigers.
"Agh… all these animals are making me confused and are giving me a headache…" Kira rubbed her forehead.
"What's after sheep?" Hatori asked, batting away a snake from his face. Even though he was in the juunishi himself, he never kept up with the order.
"I think the monkey." Kyo said. He always knew the order. He knew who came first, he knew who came last, he knew who lost and was betrayed. How he dreamed to be the first in the juunishi but,
"That damn rat!" Kyo thought and glared at Yuki as little monkeys surrounded them, screeching in panic.
"They remind of Ritsu…" Kira said without thinking as she picked one monkey up.
"Give me that!" Kyo snarled and grabbed the monkey away from Kira. He sat down on the ground, tired of standing as everyone copied what he did.
"Is she starting to remember? This has to do with Akito I bet…" Kyo thought as the monkey jumped out of his arms.
"Ok… what comes after monkey?" Haru asked, trying to get a cow not to chew on his clothes.
"Agh!" Kira hugged Kyo as they heard a loud squawk as roosters came charging in from nowhere.
"What the hell?" Kyo looked at Kira in shock.
"I hate roosters! Make them go away!" she cried in Kyo's shoulder.
"Calm down!" Kyo said to her as he felt her body begin to shake.
"Eh? Kira, you're scared of roosters?" Tohru asked
"…Yes." Kira whispered, her voice was shaky as Kyo tried to shoo away the roosters who kept coming to her.
"Really? How come you never told me?" Hatori asked
"She never acts like this around Kureno… or is it the rooster itself she's afraid of…" Hatori thought, watching the frighten girl cling on to Kyo and was practically sitting in his lap.
"He's not being careful…" Hatori thought as he lifted a lizard from his shoulder and put it down.
"You never told me either." Yuki said
"Yeah…" Haru agreed with Yuki. Kyo said nothing because he knew that she was afraid of roosters and it was because she had a bad experience at a small petting zoo where you could feed the farm animals when she was 5.
"I didn't want Akito to know- AGH! It's BITING me!" Kira screamed as one rooster got close enough to peck her hand.
"Shoo! Go away!" Tohru helped out as she waved at the rooster who backed off.
"You thought I was going to tell Akito?" Hatori asked.
"I'm sorry but in this family… every secret you ever tell Akito… puts someone at risks." Kira said, choosing her words carefully so she wouldn't hurt anyone feelings.
"Even Yuki… even I couldn't be trusted… but…" Haru thought and glanced at Kyo. He was strangely silent the whole time but he saw in Kyo's eyes that he knew all along.
"He knows… she told him…" Hatori noticed Haru looking at Kyo and he took a glance at Kyo's face himself. There was a loud barking and some dogs came jogging up to everyone.
"Make that rooster go away." Kira told one dog that came near her. Odd enough, it listened and barked at the rooster who previously pecked at her hand and caused it run off.
"Good doggy!" Kira sat up in Kyo's lap and patted him, scratching him behind the ears.
"Why does my head hurt so much? Probably just the noise…" Kira thought
"And but not least, the boar." Haru pretended to announce as boars came charging at Kyo.
"AGH!" Kyo cried out as Kira got off him quickly and settled next to Haru and his cows.
"Get away from me!" Kyo yelled as boars began to bite him and hit him.
"Shouldn't we help?" Tohru sweatdropped.
"Alright…" Kira sighed and got up, dragged away Kyo from the boars and put his head in her lap. He was covered with bruises and scratches but nothing else seem bad.
"Are you ok?" she asked
"That's a stupid question!" he yelled while she just smiled and said,
"Sorry, but it's a standard question." and all of a sudden, the animals began to back away and cats came flying out of nowhere, surrounding Kyo.
"AGH! My head hurts so much!" Kira screamed in pain in her mind
"Agh…" Kira moaned and clutched her forehead. The pain was throbbing each time she moved, each time she heard an animal make some noise but it got so much more worse with the cats around her.
"Am I allergic to cats now?" she thought as she put Kyo's head down gently and stood up.
"What are you doing?" Kyo asked, looking up at her face.
"Stretching." Kira replied, her head kept throbbing as she walked to the door to try the doorknob, pushing through the crowds and crowds of animals.
She turned the knob and it slowly opened she leaped out and was about to tell everyone before it closed and locked itself.
"No!" she cried out in frustration, banging at the door.
Sohma Estate:
"Idiot…" Akito thought as he wandered into the main house many halls. He had Kureno check the upper floors while he got to check the first and the basement.
"My little witch will definitely be in the basement." Akito grinned evilly. Suddenly his spirit appeared besides him,
"They are in the cursed room and the animals are making their appearances." the spirit reported.
"Good. And how's Kira?"
"She has complained of a headache and it turns out she's afraid of roosters. She also just came out of the room"
"Really? Roosters? Hatori never told me that… interesting. Even better though, all I have to do is show up and finish it off."
"Shall I go back and continue to observe?"
"No, no, go back and make an appearance right after the last animal comes out. Make an appearance to everyone since Kira has just left the room, they need a distraction." Akito ordered to his ever-obedient spirit
"The last animal? As in which one sir?"
"As in the monstrous cat." he said in disgust and then said,
"You may go now. And watch out for Kureno."
"As you wish."
Why couldn't he just build an army of obedient spirits? They would listen to them with no objection or opinion, but unfortunately,
"I'm dying and I have no power. But before I die, that stupid witch will feel the pain she has caused me, so much pain…" Akito thought and smiled to himself at all of the nice daydreams he had and will achieve.
