Okay, so the New Year has begun and we are making the best party this year ever. I checked out our calendar and yes it is the Year of the Rabbit. Momiji blushed and said;
"Well I guess I'm dancing for someone tonight…"
Everyone laughs as the Main House doors opened wide for a person who walks in dripping blood down their side. It's Kyo; the humanity in me makes me rush to his side as he falls to the ground as the radio comes on the voice says
"Alright everyone a new American song has been released to us and we have all plans to air it now, it is called Face Down by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus and this is to all the women who have had issues with a man's fist…" the voice fades out as a song comes on in the background.
(A/N: turn on YouTube or whatever you listen to for music lol.)
Hey girl you know you drive me crazy
One look puts the rhythm in my hand.
Still I'll never understand why you hang around
I see what's going down.
Everyone looks around to the radio as the song instead of being English is sung in Japanese and we all look at it as I start singing along. My voice provides a sweet blend of sorrow to the song and I mix it with memories of America where everything went wrong and I cry as the makeup on face runs and you see the bruises on my face underneath my makeup as the tears wash it all away. My friends all gasp and are restrained by their boyfriends. Meaning Hana-chan was being held by the wrist by Hatori-san and Uo-chan was being held around the waist by Kureno-san as well as the fact that he has a high pain tolerance since she is hitting him and he refuses to let go of her.
Cover up with make up in the mirror
Tell yourself it's never gonna happen again
You cry alone and then he swears he loves you.
I wrap up Kyo's chest stand and sit down outside as I walk out I sing loudly but enough to where he can still hear my plea even though before they fell on deaf ears. I cry so it constricts my throat a bit as I wipe the makeup off my face.
Do you feel like a man
When you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found.
A new voice fills the house joining mine, the funny thing is that it is Momiji's voice flowing in the house after having the words in my throat stop I walk inside as he sings to get some water to drink since Akito-sama hands me a cup of it.
A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect
Every action in this world will bear a consequence
If you wade around forever you will surely drown
I see what's going down.
I see the way you go and say your right again,
Say you're right again
Heed my lecture
Do you feel like a man
When you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
As your lies crumble down a new life she has found.
I finish my water as he sings the part while Kyo's side still gets wrapped by Hatori-san Kyo asks Hatori.
"Why doesn't she just hit me after all I think I'd rather be hit right now than watch her cry about me and the stupid song that came on?"
Hatori just laughs as I walk to him and balance on my haunches as I speak directly to his face just as Momiji gets silent as I knew he would because the next lines are mine.
Face down in the dirt she says, this doesn't hurt she says I finally had enough..
Face down in the dirt she says, this doesn't hurt she says I finally had enough..
One day she will tell you that she has had enough
It's coming round again.
"Kyo I am done with what you put me through in America, I don't want to hear your apologies because well, I am done I am just done with it; I have moved on, I dusted off the dirt and moved on. I just hope you do to."
He just gapes at me and sneers.
"Well now, look what I have here. A Tohru who actually grew a backbone, I wonder why, would you be so kind as to tell me who let is letting you be this out of character?" I laugh and say to him firmly.
"Kyo you made me get a spine or a 'backbone' as you put it, and I have one thing to say," I look to Yuki quickly as he nods giving me permission to tap open the old wounds, "I loved a man who uses a female punching bag just because he can't beat 'The Damned Rat'. I am done with this and the thing is this. Whether or not I marry you or someone else, I will become a part of this family so I can be Kisa's real Nee-san or just so I can really mean it when I say Yuki is my older, smarter, even kinder brother and well I think you get the picture but any way, Just because you decided to screw with me doesn't mean I'm letting you get away with this empty handed. Okay?
I give him my 'Space Cadet' smile and stand straight up as I walk over to Momiji and he picks up where I left off.
Do you feel like a man, when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found.
I hug him and walk around our 'family' let everyone else hug me as I let them stare at the bruises on my face arms and legs. The nod as Akito comes up to me last and says to me in a threating way as her eyes death glare at Kyo.
"Tohru you can always just let us disown him since he's more like an animal than we all were…" I shake my head and say in his defense
"No Akito-san I appreciate the gesture but I don't think that he's gone that far yet." She nods and kneels down to him as he sits on the floor watching us decide his fate like some cruelly sick and twisted game of 'Let's-all-play-God' as we talk over what to do with him.
"Kyo you better thank a damn lucky star that she still gives a damn about what happens to you or I would have gotten rid of you on the spot!" Kyo flinches as I plan to finish the song with Momiji since he definitely needs water I quickly wrap it up.
Do you feel like a man, when you push her around?

Face down in the dirt she says, this doesn't hurt she says I finally had enough...
I finish up and let the music clean up the next couple of American songs change the mood as I listen to a girl sing 'Baby, Baby Ohhhh!' okay my bad it's a guy… oh well. Also I have to laugh that 'boy' who sings that 'Baby' song is truly a girl at heart. Any ways… I get up brush of my already clean mid-thigh skirt the funny thing about this skirt is that it has a wheel of Chinese Zodiac on it. The funny thing is that Rin and I are the same size so we have been sharing clothes since I left most of them at the old house and I never really took that many clothes to America.
Also while in America I found out I have what physiologists, I think, call 'an inferiority complex' supposedly that's what you get when you have issues about being a bother to somebody about anything you do. Okay anyways I stand up as I speak.
"Well are we all just going to stand here like comatose friends or are we going to go and have our New Year celebration!"
Everyone noticed the subject change and decided to go along with it as we get dressed up for the party that night.
