Wow, has it really been three months since my last real update?
Sorry, Yoite is a refrence to another anime called Nabari no Ou. Creepy thing is: it fits Yoite. (in till the backstory.) Check out the anime.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything but: the plot and Hope herself.
~Chapter 4: Backstory…
Hope was sleeping very well while Kyo, Yuki, Tohru, Kaoru, and Hikaru talked in a living room.
She was having a nightmare. Hope dreamt she was still in the void.
Yoite, a boy in the darkness, was next to her. Yoite was her friend. He told her things, like 'Why they were there.'
The reason was that they had an exceptional amount of power.
Hope's power was good and pure, Yoite's was evil and corrupt. She was Ying, he was Yang. Because she was pure, she held greater use to Him, the corrupt master of the void. Him crawled into the children's heads, whispered to them, in other words, mad their lives hell. Yoite was six when he was dragged into the void. He was ten when Hope was dragged in.
Yoite was an orphan. His parents died in a train crash when he was three. He lived with his mother's friend. The lady had a son named Ritsu Sohma. Nothing really happened till the void came, and now he's here.
Hope was a normal born Sohma, meaning she had no curse when she was born. When she left the void, Him put a curse on her. The fox had recently died, so he cursed her with the fox.
Hope hadn't wanted to leave Yoite, but she REALLY didn't want to stay.
Hope woke to a sudden commotion downstairs.
She sighed. No use sleeping while THAT was going on.
Hope stretched. She realized her anklet had come off. Hope gingerly reached up to the top of her head and sure enough, her fox ears where prodding out. She just guessed that her tail was there. She sighed again.
Hope looked around for the anklet and put it on. Immediately, the ears and tail disappeared.
She yawned and went to her door, carefully stepping over the piles of books. No matter how much the maids try, they will NEVER clean her room. (Mostly because she locks the door behind her and she has the only key.)
Hope looked over the balcony and found the source of the noise, living room #5.
Rubbing her eyes, she descended the stairs.
"What's with the commotion? I can't sleep. Geesh. The whole idea of hiding is to be QUIET." Hope complained.
"Ho-Hope?" Ayame stuttered.
Darn it Shigure. You KNOW he won't take this well.
"Great going. Now we have to have Ayame swear to keep silent too." She sighed.
Shigure held up his hands. "Let me explain!" Ayame glared at him.
"You've been hiding the fugitive? DO YOU HAVE A DEATH WISH?" Ayame shouted, rounding on Shigure.
Shigure looked sheepishly around the room.
"No, not really. Why do you ask?" Shigure asked innocently.
"I ask because you have THE FOX ON THE STAIRS!" Ayame was obviously freaking out.
"Yep! That's me! The fox, ya got a problem with that?" Hope decided not to put on her outside character QUITE yet.
The twins, not liking to be forgotten, came up behind Hope and hugged her.
Surprised, she changed.
"YOU TWO ARE DEAD!" Hope shouted. The twins giggled.
"You're too adorable!" They mused.
Hope glared daggers at them, but that just sent them into hysterics. Hope suddenly changed back with a cloud. She hastily pulled her pajamas on.
"Ayame, you need to calm down. You're worrying me, Tohru, and Shigure. Everyone else doesn't care." Ayame, despite his hate for Hope, calmed down. At least he didn't look like he'd faint any second.
"Now, what should we do with you?" Hope muttered to herself.
"Umm…What going on?" Tohru, who was with Yuki and Kyo, asked.
"Miss Honda is right, what IS going on?" Yuki asked after her.
Kyo just glared at everyone with an annoyed expression.
"Ayame's worried he's going to die because he saw me." Ayame sat down while Hope was talking. "I'm 'cursed', remember? Ayame? You're going to be fine…"
"Hope?"
"Ya Shigure?"
"Ayame," From where Shigure was standing, Shigure pointed at the lump on the floor that was Ayame, "fainted." He finished.
Hope raised an eyebrow, her arms crossed.
"Thanks Shigure. I can see that." She turned to the twins, who stiffened.
"Hikaru? Kaoru? Please put our 'guest'," Hope pointed behind her at the lump. "in a room. Thanks."
Hikaru and Kaoru saluted her. "Yes, Ma'am!"
They started dragging Ayame somewhere, "I hope they aren't taking him to the dungon…" Hope muttered, watching them.
Shigure sat down heavily in a chair to review the chaos that had happened.
Tohru, Kyo and Yuki all looked confused, (Except Kyo, Kyo looks annoyed as well as confused.)
Hope looked at the group in the room before slipping off to her room to change into a komoto.
Sorry for the pace of this. I'll TRY to slow down after this. Gomien if this gave you a headache. (It gave me one..)
Arigoto for all of you who have been patient with me.
