Yes I know.. Its a short chapter but I'm having some... computer issuses.
So please! Reviews! Yay!
I walked quietly into my house. From the front door I walked into the living room. I peered into the room and the couch was empty. Turning left I walked as quietly as I could, skipping the stepping that squeaked, up the stairs. I stopped at the first room on my right. I placed my ear on the closed door. I couldn't hear any snoring so I turned the knob slowly and gently pushed the door open. This room was empty too. I sighed in relief. My dad must have gone to the bar. I continued to walk down the hall and turned to the next room, my room. I set my book bag on the floor. I passed by the mirror that hung on my wall. I had very light purple shading under my eyes. I grabbed my hairbrush from my dresser and gently brushed the tender spot. Every knot was tugged painfully at my scalp.
"Damn it." I gasped, as I pulled too hard on my hair. I will knock Brad out for what he did to my hair. I set down my hairbrush and changed into jeans and a blue sweater. I pulled out my necklace from under my sweater. I walked down stairs and peeked in the refrigerator. Empty beer cans were all over. I sighed. Grabbing my purse I walked out the door and headed to the grocery store. I saw it when I was walking to school and hopefully there will be someone that speaks English. Looking up and down the isles I ran into someone that I didn't want to see. Brad was standing at the end of the third isle. He smirked.
"Well. Isn't this a pleasant surprise, I'm glad I bumped into you." He said walking toward me. I stared.
"Aren't you going to say anything?" He asked in a low voice. Now he was in front of me. I thought of screaming but my throat was dry. I knew if I did that I wouldn't get much volume. I continued to stare at him. He did the same. We stood like that for what felt like hours. Then I sighed and moved to walk around him. He took a step in front of me.
"Brad I don't want to fight with you anymore." I said in a whisper. He howled with laughter.
"I'm not giving you much a choice now, am I." His eyes stared through me, sending chills.
"Get out of my way Brad." I hissed. He smirked, and then frowned.
"Your protector from earlier is here." He said sarcastically. I quickly turned and saw Kyo standing at the end of the isle. Brad grabbed my arm and made me face him. "Act like we are having a good conversation." He threatened.
"But we aren't." I yanked my arm out of his grasp and walked toward Kyo.
"Rose look out!" Kyo screamed. A powerful force knocked me in the back of my head. For split second I could see stars as I hit the floor but then it was black.
"Hey do you think she's all right." Said a voice far away. My eyes were heavy and my head was pounding.
"For the final time Kyo, she will be fine. I gave her medicine for her head. She should be better in a few hours." There was a voice that I didn't recognize. I painfully opened my eyes. Everything was blurry.
"Kyo?" I whispered painfully.
"Rose!" He yelled.
I winced.
"Oh sorry. I forgot that you probably have a headache." He whispered. I began to sit up but two strong hands pushed me back down.
"You aren't going anywhere." A deeper voice reached my ears.
"Oh Rose-chan!" Tohru's high pitch voice called out.
"Tohru don't yell. Rose probably has a headache." Said a quiet and smooth voice. I tried again to open my eyes. I couldn't make out any shapes but I saw colors. On my right side there was a little orange and brown. On my left silver and brown. They blended together by a sea of yellow. I blinked. Each time I did my vision got better just slightly. After a few moments my vision was back to normal. Kyo and a man on my right side and Yuki and Tohru on my left.
"Where am I?" I breathed struggling to get up.
"Careful." Yuki warned. "Brad hit you pretty hard."
"Brad?" I asked my memory fuzzy.
"Yeah, that bastard punched you pretty hard in the head." Kyo stated.
"Kyo almost killed the guy. Yuki had to pull him off." The man said.
He had brown hair slightly covering his right eye and he wore a while over coat. "Oh I'm sorry. I didn't properly introduce myself. I am Hatori Sohma. The Sohma families doctor." He extended his hand. I moved my arm and winced. There was a sharp pain in my shoulder.
"Ow." I said, surprised.
"Rose you really should be taking it easy." Yuki's voice covered with concern.
"I'm fine really. I just have to walk it off." I said swinging my legs over the side of the bed, standing up, maybe too fast and stumbled forward. Out of the corner of my eye I saw the guys step forward to catch me but step back. Tohru grabbed my arm and steadied me.
"Rose-chan." She whispered franticly.
"I'm fine. Just got a little light headed." I smiled. "So um. Where am I?" I asked again.
Tohru's eyes light up. "Oh we're at Shigure's house! This is my room."
The walls were yellow and her bed was covered in a pink comforter. She had a closet on the far wall and a door leading to the balcony.
"You live here Tohru?" I asked walking outside on the balcony, amazed at the view.
"Yeah. Kyo and Yuki live here too." She said.
This view is so beautiful. The sun was setting over the trees and made everything have an orange glow. The sun is setting… Oh no! I gasped.
"I have to get home!" I said alarmed.
