Me rubbing my head- DAMN YOU JEH-KUN!
Jeh-kun- That's what you get for not knowing who Frank Sanotra is
Me- you didn't have to throw your cell phone at my face!
Jeh- kun- just get on with the fanfic and stop whining!
Me- fine but as Shadow the Hedgehog once said, "I promise you I'll have my REVENGE!"
Jeh-kun cowers in fear in a corner
Me- I owe nothing!
Chapter Two
Hope is gone!
The path to darkness
Kyo had taken Tohru home when the paramedics came to get her Grandpa's body. Uo, Yuki, and Hana all went back to school to explain what happened to Tohru. Yuki told Kyo that he wouldn't be long and that he was going to go to the main house to get Hatori, just incase if Tohru would get a fever or get sick because of shock. So he was left to carefully carry the girl home with out transforming and neither of them spoke a word on the way home.
When Kyo managed to get Tohru in the door he told her to go take a shower and that he would make dinner and a cup of tea. Without a word of objection she went upstairs. He sighed and went into the kitchen to make some soup and tea. All the thoughts in Kyo's mind and images of the pervious moments of the day flashed. He couldn't get the feeling the way her eyes looked when they made contact. There was no light in them. The usual shine and happiness was gone. It was like falling into emptiness. Kyo sighed and went back to work making the soup.
Upstairs in Tohru's room-
Tohru had just gotten out of the shower and was in her room. She couldn't cry any more. The tears wouldn't come out. Her eyes had dried up. All she could do now was write in her journal:
The Light is Gone
You say I'm your light
The candle in the dark
You ask why I am bright
I say I have hope
But now that hope is gone
So is my light
Now the only thing that surrounds me is darkness
Darkness of the heart
Tohru closed the journal and went down stairs.
At the Main House-
Yuki snuck into the Main House to see Hatori which to his unfortunate belief Hatori had other visitors.
"Yuki my brother what brings you here?" Ayame asked in a swooning way
"My oh my Yuki this is excellent." Haru said
"Ok before this gets of hand Hatori you need to come to Shigure's house." Yuki said getting to the point but he would've continued if it wasn't for-
"What's wrong with my house now? Surely Kyo couldn't have injured himself considering you're here." Shigure said
Hiro and Kisa came into the room with Momiji at there heels, "Oh come on must you be a sore loser when you play candy man?" Momiji whined to Hiro
"That was such a stupid rule you made up stupid rabbit!" Hiro snapped back
"Hiro come down Momiji said sorry." Kisa said
Hatori had the TV on and was watching it as Yuki tried to yell over the noise coming from Hiro and Momiji and Ayame and Shigure when finally something caught his attention on the news he said, "QUITE!" Silence was welcomed to his hears, "What is it?" Shigure asked
"This is." Hatori said and he turned up the TV
"Ok this is reported live from the fire at Cherry Blossom Drive only hours before. You can see the remains at the houses that the fire affected. There has been one person that is in critical condition and one death that was found on site. The paramedics said that no name was given to the deceased but they would like to express their sincere grievances to High School girl Tohru Honda who apparently had lost her Grandfather earlier today at this sight. And in other news-"
Hatori turned off the TV and everyone was silent and all eyes looked at Yuki, "Yeah that's why I came to get you. You see-" Yuki was cut off by Hatori, "No need to say more Yuki. Come on everyone in my car." And they left the house.
At Shigure's house-
"Tohru please you didn't eat anything all day." Kyo said trying to get tohru to eat some soup that he made
"Kyo please I'm not hungry." Tohru said in a hollow voice.
"Fine then will you drink some tea then?" He asked her.
Tohru didn't say anything but nodded her head. So he went to grab a cup of tea and he handed it to her and she took a sip.
"Kyo! Tohru!" a voice called out in the hallway and soon a group of people came into the living room were Kyo and Tohru sat, "What the hell is all this? I thought you were going to get Hatori not the whole family you damn rat!" Kyo yelled
Kisa and Momiji weren't paying attention to Kyo since they were over by Tohru trying to get her to talk to them
"First of all I didn't bring the whole family second of all they saw what happened on the news and third of all keep your voice down." Yuki said calmly
Hatori moved his way around the arguing cousins and went to Tohru, "Hey I'm sorry about your Grandfather." Hatori said
"Thanks." Was all Tohru could say then she continued, "Look I know why you're here. You came to make sure I'm ok right?" She looked at him and he nodded, "Well yes I am ok. Just a little shaken is all."
"Ok but your not eating anything are you sure?"
"Yes I am. I'm not hungry that's all." Tohru said as she sipped her tea. Hatori looked at her and saw that she didn't give him her usual smile like she would've. The phone rang and as an opportunity to get rid of this uncomfortable silence Shigure said, "I got it!" and he ran out of the room but came back in a few minutes later with the portable phone in his hand, "Tohru it's for you."
"I don't really want to talk to who ever it is. Can you say that I'll call back tomorrow?"
"It's your aunt she says that it's important." Shigure responded.
Tohru sighed and reached her hand to take the portable one when, "This is a different number than the house. You know my office number. Sorry I grabbed the wrong one." Tohru shook her head and went out to the hallway.
"That was a load of crap and you know it!" Kyo said and the group nodded
"Something is not right with the aunt on the phone and I think there might be trouble. Want to check it out?" He held the phone out and with a moments hesitation they nodded and the group listened to the conversation.
Out in the hallway-
"Hello?" Tohru said
"Oh hi sweet heart I'm sorry that you had to be put through so much trouble with what happened today. Are you ok?" asked her aunt sounding concerned
"Not really just in shock is all. I guess news travels fast huh?"
"Well you know the connections that I have dreary since my son wants to be a detective and all." She replied
"Oh," Tohru responded
"Listen how bad was the house when you saw it?" the aunt asked
In the living room Shigure mouthed to the angry faces of the guys, "Told you so." And they went right back listening when they heard Tohru's voice, "I don't really know I wasn't paying attention."
"Oh well I guess you wouldn't since you saw his body come out."
"What's that suppose to mean?" Tohru asked a little pissed off at the comment
"Well you know I mean he had to keep the Will in his house after all."
Tohru was in disbelief and it only got worst, "Is this why you called me? To see how good the house was so you can have one of you detective buddies to get Grandpa's Will?"
"Of course that's an important document you know. Well then again I guess you wouldn't since you never had to deal with one before."
"What are you saying?! That the only reason that you moved into his house was so you could automatically know were it was when he died?!"
"Well no he offered to let us move in," the aunt replied, "And then you came along."
"I'm not going to ask you again: What are you trying to say?" The Sohma's who were listening never saw this side of Tohru who by each passing minute was getting more and more pissed off.
"Fine I might as well say it! I thought you were going to steal the Will being as though you're the daughter of the Red Butterfly." The aunt practically screamed.
At this comment Tohru finally snapped, "How could you think that?! I would never in all my years ever do such a thing?!"
"Yeah right like anyone would fall for that angle bull shit you put on! I have been meaning to say this for years Tohru! Ever since your slut of a mother, if you can call her a mother, gave birth to you!"
"Thanks a lot but you what I've been meeting to say to you?" Tohru asked a little too sweetly
"What would that be?" the aunt asked
"You are a little son of a bitch from HELL!" Tohru yelled back
"What did you say to me?!"
"You heard me!" Tohru fired back. All the feelings she had locked away finally came out. The Sohmas were in shock and just stared at the phone as if Tohru was right there in front of them.
"I demand that you take it back!"
"Ok sure…I sorry…sorry that I was wrong! You're worse than a bitch you're a cunt!" Tohru yelled.
This blew the Sohma's minds even more. All the boys in the room had there jaws open but Kisa just had a confused look on her face, "What does that mean Hiro?" she whispered. Hiro didn't answer because he was still astounded at the fact that the happy go lucky girl could even know a word to that extent.
"As your aunt I demand that you show me respect! I can call child services and have you brought to me quicker than you can say sorry!"
Tohru was laughing, but not in a good way, "What in hells name is so funny?!" the aunt fired at her.
"You are duh! You demand respect? On what account?"
"Because I'm older than you so I have the authority over you."
Tohru laughed even more, "Ok you know what I'll show you as much respect as I so the dirt which I spit on! And as for the authority part you have none!"
"Keep it up Tohru, just keep it up. You'll end on the road to failure just like you whore of a mother."
"You keep my mom out of this!" Tohru said darkly
"No! Your mom was worthless piece of shit from hell! And you know what I heard just like you, she screwed with tons of men before she was with Katsuya. And you no what I think you'll end up the some way!"
"So are you saying that I'll end up like the Red Butterfly?" Tohru asked
"Exactly!"
"No you're wrong. If I wanted to I'd done it years ago and-" Tohru started
"You don't have the guts."
"I could be five times worse than what Kyoko ever was!"
"I swear you do then you're out of this family!" her aunt cried
"I beat you too it." Tohru said smugly
"What are you-?" the aunt started to ask
"As of today at 12:30 in the afternoon I deemed myself an orphan. As of this moment I am no longer part of this 'family' as you so likely put it! Good bye-" Tohru was about to hang up when, "DON'T YOU DARE HANG UP! I'M NOT DONE WITH YOU!"
"Oh but you see I am! You have the nerve to call me 3 hours I see me grandpa come out of a burning building to ask about the GOD DAMN WILL! That is not only messed up but sick! You disgust me! Now don't you ever call me again or speak of Grandpa and don't bother to come to the funeral! GOOD BYE!" Then Tohru slammed the phone on its hook and ran upstairs. Shigure pressed the off button on the portable phone and was too shocked to say, "Told you so." They heard Tohru come back down and they all went to the hall to see Tohru slipping on her shoes. Before they could get a word out she left with out saying a word.
