Momo's POV:
Crud, I had another nightmare. This time it had to do with Kyo-senpai, I dreamed that he had hit me; he actually hit and then kept hitting me and he beat me I felt the skin split and I bled everywhere. The strange thing is that Kyo-senpai never hits anyone, especially ladies… or so I thought.
I walked in to Nii-san's room to hear Tohru-senpai's voice talk to him very quietly and sharply as I suppose I'm not to hear her tell Nii-san.
"Momiji-kun, these are the bruises okay? Now can I sleep now, I have a lot of jet-lag since I just got back here. And yes there are bruises on my stomach okay? Now please just let me sleep!"
"No Tohru I need to clean them or at least give you a wrap in case he broke any of your ribs okay?"
"Fine just hurry up and look at them okay!"
Tohru the unwinds the breast and stomach wrap that she uses to sleep in, I'm guessing it's an American style to keep warmer at night there instead of here where we actually wear pajama's instead of wraps well at least her pajama bottoms are the same as Kisa's with little tigers on them and stripes on the waist band. Anyway the funny thing is that Kisa calls her Nee-san and I've always wondered why but never could figure it out after all, she doesn't even look like Kisa! But who am I to judge her? Well that's beside the point. After all what's more interesting is that the wrap for her shirt like thing is made of cow skin that reminds me of Hatsuharu-san or in other terms my cousin Haru-chan. Well at least I thought it was a normal wrap until she starts to unwind it anyway. It looks like it starts at the bottom where her stomach is and she unwraps it to where it sits unrevealingly under her boobs, ha boobs is such a funny word, I decide now is a good time to talk to Nii-san since he wrapped up her ribs and she grabs his other shirt to wear for the night and put it on yawning I say to them.
"Nii-san, Tohru-sama can sleep here with you to tonight?"
"Momo, what happened did you have another bad dream?"
"Yes Nii-san I dreamed that Kyo-senpai had hit me and it really hurt! And ohm Tohru-sama, did Kyo-senpai hit you too?"
"MOMO! That was very rude you know better than to ask such a personal question!"
"Momiji, it's fine honestly!"
Okay, fine I give tell her what you want after all she's old enough by now."
"Thank you very much. And Momo don't say sorry it's okay really, also yes Kyo-kun hit me more than once and he did do this to me."
Tohru gestures to her bruises in varying shades of blue, black, purple, yellowish greens and other colors in between. I gasp and run to her side and give her a firm yet gentle hug as Tohru picks me up like a little kid. Even though I'm thirteen; I don't mind though she's a lot nicer than the others Nii-san's brought home, they looked like her but they soo aren't her at all. Nii-san's eyebrows shoot up as he says,
"Tohru, I guess she's sleeping in between us tonight huh?"
I look up hopefully at Tohru as Nii-san says this, he's said this before and the others turned me away as well. She looks up at him sternly and says to him.
"Momiji, she will share a bed with the three of us okay, if I had a bad dream like she did I'd expect someone to treat me with the same kindness!"
Not Tohru, she's the first one to not turn me away and Nii-san laughed at this, Ne- I mean Tohru-san says offended by his laughter,
"I'm being serious Momiji!"
Nii-san bends over with a laughing fit and I tap on the shoulder as I crawl across the spot on the bed where Ne- geez I mean Tohru-san set me on the bed. I really must stop almost calling her Nee-san she's my Nii-san's friend who got hurt, by Kyo-san, for no real reason. I think out loud to myself on accident.
"Why would anyone want to hurt you Tohru? You are so nice and kinder than anyone else I know! Even Nii-san has brought home girls for me to meet who are not as nice as you! They looked kinda like you but they never acted like you!"
I clap my hand over my mouth and apologize rapidly to them both. Nii-san tries to speak first but gets a hand clapped over his mouth by Tohru who moves behind him and says to me.
"Momo-san is it okay if I don't answer that question cause well, I don't really know that answer either."
I nod and a long yawn escapes my mouth as I climb in the bed and I feel the sheets on both sides of me get flipped back as Tohru-san and Nii-san climb in on opposites and I feel them both hug me as I fall asleep and wish that every time I need a bed to sleep in.
Tohru's POV:
The next morning I wake up before everyone else and I decide to make some breakfast for everyone today since I'm up first and all. As I make my way to the kitchen I find five people inside making some coffee for themselves. Kisa-chan, Uo-chan, Hana-chan, Haru-sama, and Yuki-kun sitting down at the table as they wait for someone to show up; they look very angry and nervous about something. I step down the stairs as I trip down the last step I grab a hold on to Yuki-kun as I regain my balance earning a few snickers and an affectionate hair mess-up from Haru-sama while I grab a cup of coffee and start opening the fridge to find some type of breakfast materials I ask everyone as I work the kitchen.
"Soo everyone, what's up with the 'die' faces? Who or what happened now?"
Haru-san answers for everyone there.
"Sorry to say this but as you know your other family is here and they would like to speak with you; about you know, living with them and all so go talk with them quickly before the others wake up, it would be bad for them to hear the conversation between you and them, they may take it badly, if you know what I mean…"
I nod knowing exactly what they mean and go to deal with this problem now. I walk into the living room and open the door; I see my cousins, my aunt, and my uncle. I keep looking for Grandfather but then I stop myself with a date… shaking my head I walk in and ask them a question.
"Soo why are you all here today?" My cousin answers for them.
"Well, you see we all want you to come home with us. Since you got; you know… cheated on and stuff…"
But I shake my head fiercely as I turn on my heels and start to walk away; but my aunt grabs my wrist and almost yells at me.
"You stupid girl; just come home so we can all listen to that Old Coot's damned will; and so I can get my damn money and go home and forget ever meeting any of you! The people you live with are no better than animals; they don't really even care about you! We are your people!"
I snatch my wrist as I open my mouth; by now I don't care about what comes out of it anymore, they've gone too far for me to care now.
"My people, animals, Old Coot's will! NO! THESE ARE MY PEOPLE; THEY AREN'T THE ANIMALS; NO! THAT IS YOU; YOU ARE THE ANIMALS! I put up with you in the first place because of Grandfather, never because you are 'my people' you use me just so you can read his will! Honestly what kind of family are you! Oh that's right, you aren't a family, I am so happy that they took me away from there you'll never even know just how happy I was when Yuki-kun as well as Kyo-kun brought me to my home! Give me a date and time for the will reading and I'll be there, is there anything else you'd like me to know?"
I pant because I am out of breath and on the verge of hot, angrily boiling tears. They all seem taken aback and my cousin, the one I had to share a room with, comes and gives me a real hug giving me a date, time, place and requirement; I can't go alone, and they have to be a guy since it is a creepy spot in town. I hug her back and say my thanks as she drags her brother-in-law and parents home saying something about how I grew up and got a backbone finally. I clutch my head and walk back into the kitchen tripping on seven different people. And of course they are; Uo-chan, Hana-chan, Haru-chan, Kisa-chan, Momo-san, Yuki-kun, and Momiji-kun, all in that order.
Hatsuharu's POV:
In the living room at Momiji's house I heard, at first, calm talking; then I heard the sound of someone grabbing a person's wrist, it took everyone in there to stop me from kicking the door down and killing those poor idiots. I then heard Tohru's voice rise at an alarmingly high pitch and dangerously dark and clipped tone, almost the kind that you know must have come prepackaged in a bag with arsenic-coated and razor filled anger. I pity those inside there now and thank the others so much for stopping me from facing my death head-long. I wonder if Tohru has a black side as well as I do… hmmm I really do wonder now… considering the yelling was stopped and by the sounds of it they are walking down the stairs as we speak ok well then let's go make some coffee yes. Whoa, whoa, whoa; walking down the stairs! Crapola it is Momiji-kun and Momo-chan.
CRAP IN THE KITCHEN! Literally ha, ha, anyways; I watch those two come in here. The looks on their faces were as if someone had thrown hot water on to their faces seeing how fast they'd put it together. Momo-chan freaked out and almost opened the door but we caught her arm just in time. I swear though I'll never press my ears up to a door again! It hurt when Tohru came barreling out the room geez I think I still haven't finished bruising! Remind me to never piss her off again! But that is beside the point seeing as how we shouldn't have been pressed against the damned, wooden door that was our faults… but still we were very dumb. Now we are caught and have to explain ourselves. CRAPOLA!
Momiji's POV:
Okay so I'm just gonna sum up how my morning went; I wake up and I want to have a nice breakfast with Tohru-chan, and Momo-chan. Of course it never goes that way… crap.
I wake up, get down stairs, spy on a convo I never wanted to, and end up having to explain myself later. Crapola every time sigh. We are all caught and we all know it. Oh well. Might as well explain it to her myself no wait I think Hatsuharu is gonna take it from here heh, heh I really don't wanna crash and burn because of this.
Tohru's POV:
"Okay, somebody's gotta explain themselves now or I will be slightly mad."
"Tohru please don't be mad at us we were all worried since you know, we heard yelling and we were all very concerned after all are you really going to punish us for just being worried about you!"
"No, no I'm not going to punish any of you okay? Also I'm going to need a guy to take me to the sketchy part of town tomorrow, and since Momo-chan has school, Momiji-san has work, I can't ask Momiji I'm going to need somebody to take me there so I can listen to the reading of, of my Grandfather's will, and yeah please someone…" Haru-san grabs my arm gently as he pulls me into a hug and whispers to me.
"Tohru I will okay and we can talk on the way alright?"
I nod as I hit his chest with my head he laughs and nods to me, as I back away I have to ask everyone.
"Okay, who wants waffles for breakfast today?"
Of course they laughed and I make waffles for everyone. Now after being tired and very full I let everyone else, that don't live here, leave.
After they left and I wait for Momo to go to bed as I snuggle on the couch next to Momiji as he turns the TV to some movie called Predators which had me slightly scared and every time I jumped I landed on his lap; interesting I know. I wonder myself. But after a short while I wait for what happened next; finally I give in and let myself sit on his lap and of course my mind is happy enough that when I jump I stick firmly on to his lap and he'll laugh as I snuggle into his chest as the lights dim in the living room as the movie ends he lets me snuggle into his chest more I feel his abs through the shirt and they are chiseled and almost like polished marble since his skin is lighter than mine. I can't help but let my hand run through his hair as the lights on the TV turn off and the lights in the house stay dim. His hair is the color of lightened gold as his eyes look at mine; I can almost get lost in those melted chocolate orbs they seem so depthless and it almost scares me but we lean our heads in and our lips are only a few inches apart.
Suddenly we hear a sharp noise as we fly apart as his sister walks down the stairs with a scared expression on her face as she runs and jumps on the couch next to me and says;
"Tohru-san, I was so scared I dreamt that you were gone and Nii-san was out for work oh it was so scary! Promise me you'll never leave me!"
She mutters to me some other words to me so Momiji can't hear them to.
"Nii-san would be very, very sad as well, he really does care about you Nee-sama." She gives a giggle and grabs my hand throwing a call out to Momiji as she lets him I'm tucking her in instead of him tonight…
Momo's POV:
Great, I got her where I want her. She starts talking to me and I can't help myself so I ask her a question.
"Don't you even wanna know why I am with my brother now?"
"U-u-uh well yes but I was going to be polite enough to let you tell me when you were ready since I know the reasons probably weren't very good seeing as how your mother chose to forget about your Nii-sama after all…"
"Don't worry about it and yeah you are right, Mama; Mama died a couple months ago and that is when I found everything out and well I just don't think I'd be able to live with him until I really met him. He's so nice and kind and he does care since Mama was his Mama as well. I never thought I'd get another mother like figure in my life, honestly Kisa Nee-san is an amazing sister but I'd feel better if she treated me like her age. I hate feeling smaller than everyone else. It makes me so made sometimes and I just don't know why you get me?"
"Yes, Momo I get you a lot more than you'd think. You see I have no mother or father at all, my father died when I was very little and well my mother died my third year of high school and I lived in a tent until I found the Sohma's, meaning Yuki-kun, Kyo-kun, and Shigure-sama. And well I never even remember my father very much. Well Shigure and Hatori are like my father, Akito is in a way a mom as much as my friends Uo-chan and Hana-chan are in a way."
"I think I understand you now. You are too scared of being hurt to let new people in so you keep to small groups of close people and you never wanted to be hurt but you were for no reason so you hide everything with a smile; a lot like Nii-san in a way. So don't shut us out anymore Tohru. And err mm can I ask you something Tohru?"
"Yeah sure Momo anything you want."
"Well, can I call you Mama, or at least Nee-san?"
"Momo, you can call me anything you want to call me. Alright?"
"Mmmhmm, I know I care about you a lot soo I think for now I'll call you Nee-san. Okay!"
"Yeah, Momo, I like it." Tohru closed her eyes as she nodded her head in a yes formation. She has a spaced out smile and cheerfully closed eyes as she nods more vigorously at my comment. I nod as well to her giving her a big hug and a peck on the cheek as I crawl into bed and I can't help but want to know if she can sing. So I asked her to and she does.
(A/N: the song she sings is the opening to the anime Fruits Basket and the ending theme of Toradora.)
As I listen to the two songs she sang I slowly fell asleep feeling safe and complete for the first time in a long time…
Momiji's POV:
As I crept around the corner and listened to the things Momo told her I cried, I never even knew Mama died! How unfair is this? As I wiped away the tears I hear Momo ask Tohru's permission for the new title Mother, or Nee-san. I am touched that she really cares enough about Tohru that she plans to call her, her Nii-san. Tohru starts singing some songs based on the Toradora posters, and that one chick who sings that one song that Momo likes so much. I hear her turn off the lights and start walking out I just now realize that I have been standing in the door frame with a dreamy look on my face as Tohru comes out saying a threat to me.
"Tell anyone that I sing, and I'll tell everyone that you have a slight groping problem in your sleep okay?"
She smiles as she very oh so very quietly threatens me with a smile on her face since I know mine must look like strawberries in the sunlight. Now it's my turn to embarrass her.
"Well I can tell that you don't it considering I don't hear your complaints from it."
I wink at her as she now goes red from embarrassment about my comments about our problems as we sleep. She prepares her next sharp comment for me.
"You know what Momiji? Just shut up I'm tired and besides there is a little girl in that room in there!"
She gestured to Momo's room as I grab her wrist as I yawn and pull her in tow towards the bedroom that we share. I shut the door and turn around while I wait for her to begin changing her clothes since well, the mirror is directly in front of me and well people give me a break, I am a dude, after all I do have a lot of testosterone… oh boy I think she took off her shirt. Yep she did crap, crap, crap, crap, crap don't take off the bottoms as well; oh shit she did that to don't do it Momiji don't let it get to you oooh crap you let it get to you… please let someone have mercy on me put a shirt on please put a shirt on oooh not a nosebleed, put a shirt on. Yes! She put a shirt on, and wow it's my shirt oh wow it looks good on her. Now her pants, then maybe I should go staunch that nosebleed … maybe mine to put on to? Yep mine as well and yeah they fit her loosely and mercifully stabilizing my counter intuitive nosebleed. Thank you to whoever was listening.
Tohru's POV:
I knew he was watching me, so I decided to humor him with a professional nosebleed maker and then a merciful cover-up for him to sink into a false sense of security; if he don't get a nosebleed to night, he isn't straight I swear. I prepare my privacy breech's revenge and it will be tonight. I crawl under the covers now and plan to make Momiji's night hell. You don't breech my security on anything especially something like my privacy. So without further ado I plan to make hell in a bedroom. As Momiji crawls under the covers I stretch my body in a way that I can arch my back and make what amount of boobs I have strain for a bit against the shirt. As I then turn making the shirt twist to reveal my curves of my skin to him as his face gets redder I plan to go and fake sleep just so I can get away with this just once. As I pretend to sleep I hear him ask.
"Hey Tohru you still awake?"
I still pretend to sleep so he slides in beside me as I make the final move against the felon. I stretch out my hand in my 'sleep' and grab his wrist as I drag it over my breasts and stomach letting it rest just a few inches over the waist band of my pants for a few minutes before saying his name once or twice as I slide his hand up the sides of my body letting it rest underneath my head as planned. I hear him rush out of the bed quick enough to get some tissues and then he comes back in as I really am now half asleep as I feel the bed sag under his weight I let him move his hand under my head I prepare to go and listen to the reading of my late and beloved Grandfather's will; with Haru-kun going with me. Crap I will be wasted when I get back to Momiji's house tomorrow. And with those comforting thoughts and Momiji's body snuggling into mine as it prepares for its 'groping' problems; and yes I made it up so I wondered why he blushed… hmm I will look into it later, I drift into a peaceful dreamless sleep.
