Yay! Now we all know Ales's Zodiac. And for those with enough time to read my list, we also know what her name means (Her name isn't important, but it's cool)! I'm very grateful to still have readers! Y'all rock!
POV 3rd Hatori
When his phone rang, Hatori was alone in his office. His head was in his hands, and he was staring at the picture of Kana. "Hello?" He said into the phone, still in a daze, lost in memories.
"Hello, Hatori. It's Kagura. I was wondering, do you know anything about a girl named Ales Loki?" Hatori inhaled sharply, snapped into painful reality.
"Kagura. You want to know about Ales? Well, It's a long story. If you want to know. Come to my office in the after-noon. How about at 1:00. Tell your parents to expect you back around 5:00. I'll tell you then."
On the other line, Kagura beamed, Jack Pot! "Alright, I'll be there! Thank you Hatori." After hanging up, Hatori sighed. Why is it always Ales?
POV 1st Ales
Let it be enough to say I felt ridiculous. Kureno-san gave me an outfit, and for that I was grateful. But it was one of Mother's, and that harridan women, was always dresses like a slut. Now, I just had to see Nee-sama. "Nee-sama? May I come in?"
"Of course, Ally-chan." A shiver ran up my spine, she seldom called me that if I wasn't in trouble.
I slipped in, maybe if I could make her laugh she wouldn't be as harsh. "Nee-sama, I feel like a slut. Why did I have to wear that women's clothes?" Neither Nee-sama nor I referred to her as Mother or Mom aloud, though I called her Mother in my head. I shook myself lightly, as if to wipe of Mother's germs.
Nee-sama did laugh. Her laugh sounded as maniacal as mine. I joined in, and we sounded like a flock of cackling crows. "Ally-chan, I missed you," she said, suddenly sober again.
I knew it was safer to stick with her emotions, bad idea to be happy when Nee-sama. I quieted myself as well, "I missed you too, Nee-sama. I screwed up. I'm sorry."
Nee-sama looked up at me, her eyes wider, startled and innocent-seeming. "Screwed up? Oh, you mean that they found out, I thought they would. Don't worry, Ally-chan. I'm going to let you go back." I looked up sharply. I loved Nee-sama, she was my sister, and eventhough she was cruel, she was kind. However, Nee-sama hated failure and wasn't a forgiving person. Was I dreaming? "Yes, I want you go back. I'll miss you, but you could come visit me regularly."
I did the one thing that I wasn't supposed to. When granted an unexpected wanted thing, take it and leave, don't give the one who gives the gift to you a chance to rethink the choice. I said "Why?"
Nee-sama smiled. "Ally-chan, I'm often cold. But, I'm not deliberately mean. I love you all. If you come visit me, why can't you be happy?" I grinned.
"Thank you, Nee-sama. I love you too."
"Of course. You may go now, send Hatori." I left without another word, afraid if I said anything, all would be ruined. Outside the door, as if today hadn't been traumatic enough, who awaited me but Mother?
"Good Evening, Ren-san." I said
She brushed her hair out of her face and looked at me with those snake-like slit eyes of hers. "Ally-chan," she said. "What did my wreck of a daughter tell you? I told her what to say, but you know how she is."
I looked at her aloofly. Mother was terrifying, but I had been raised away from her. She only controlled Nee-sama through terror, I usually could block her out. "I'm going home," I said coldly.
She hissed between her teeth, a look of wrath and hate on her face directed behind me towards the door. "Rebellious child. What use are children like that? I told her I wanted to see you, that you should stay with me for a while." A shiver spread through my entire body, no, I yelled mentally."But, the fool child sends you home. How sweet," She sneered. An attendant came over behind her and hurriedly took her away from Nee-sama's room, a very good choice.
That explained a lot. If Mother told Nee-sama I should stay, of course I was aloud to leave. That was how our family worked. I headed for Hatori's room. Ignoring the fact it was almost ten at night, I ran into his arms "Ri-nii! Long time, no see!"
Hatori lifted me up and spun me, a fifteen-year-old girl, around in circles in the air. "Ales! Why are you here?"
I beamed up at him! "Guess what Ri-nii! You don't have to erase my friends memories again. Nee-sama says I can go home. First thing I'm going to do is talk to all of my old friends. Oh! And Nee-sama wants you, so you should hurry. I'm going strait home!"
Hatori almost sprinted out the door, but turned around when I said I was going strait home. "In that?" he asked. I grinned sheepishly, I was still wearing my whore-mother's clothes. He turned towards an oak wardrobe, which had sat in his office for as long as I could remember, and he pulled it open. It was all my clothes form when I had lived with him, before my friends were erased. I reached in a grabbed the largest outfit I could find.
"Thank you, Ri-nii! I'm supposed to visit every week, so I'll see you soon!" Hatori left and Ally changed into her new outfit. It was a pair of black corduroys and a white t-shirt with a cardinal drawn on it. Ales Loki, beaming from ear to ear, sprinted home.
POV 3rd Haru
Haru put down Kisa and looked at Yuki. "My phone is ringing, It's Sensei."
Yuki looked up. "Shigure? What does he want?"
"Hello? She is? Well, after all that chasing, she goes home. Doesn't that just figure? It looks like you win, Sensei. We should've just waited. Okay, we're coming home." Haru hung up. "Ally went back to Sensei's house. Sensei says she's calling him Gure-nii again. I wonder what happened. Oh well." He walked over and rested a hand on Yuki's shoulder, "Let's go home."
Tohru turned around, she still was holding Ales's phoenix shirt, but now she was beaming, "Yes! let's go home!"
So, I was going to write more, but I realized how long it was getting, and I have to this. So I'll stop for now and write more later. I thought of an ending, so I might actually finish this! Wouldn't that be awesome?
