I'm back again! I kind of did this in a rush because I'm going up to London for the New Year, so i won't be posting another chapter for a few days (what with GCSE's coming up and having to revise) So You'll probably be waiting for about a week. Anyway, on with the next chapter!
Chapter 3 – New Job
'WHY IS IT THAT EVERYTIME YOU OPEN YOUR DAMN MOUTH IT PISSES ME OFF?' Kyo yelled at Hiro, who smiled back at him smugly.
'Maybe if you weren't so fired up all the time it wouldn't be this easy.' The young boy said with a smirk. Tohru, Mine and Ayame entered just as Kyo was about to start yelling again, but when he looked up and saw Tohru his jaw dropped.
'Oh my God, she is possibly the most beautiful girl I have ever seen.' Tohru noticed Kyo staring at her and she blushed deep red. Before she could even say 'Good morning' Kyo had run out of the back door.
'Don't worry Tohru, my darling, Kyo was probably so over come with your beauty, that he had to run away to resist his manly urges!' Ayame said bringing his hand up to his heart. 'Now, run along and start Kisa and Hiro's lesson!'
Hiro snickered and led Tohru towards a door. Inside was a circular room, it had large doors with windows in them so you could see out to the large garden. There were two tables with chairs behind them and a large bookcase.
Kisa was already sat behind one of the tables and turned to face Tohru when she heard the door open.
Kisa, she had strawberry blonde hair that was cut into choppy bob and full fringe. She had large brown eyes and looked as though she was terrified of Tohru.
'Hello,' Tohru smiled at the girl, 'you must be Kisa.' The girl gave a nod and quickly turned back around. Tohru looked at Hiro and raised an eyebrow.
'Kisa doesn't talk.' He said, 'our old governess used to beat her if she got a question wrong, so she ended up not saying anything to anyone at all.' Tohru nodded and made her way to the front of the classroom.
'Right,' she said, 'what do you want to learn about?' Hiro and Kisa looked at her in confusion. Hiro glanced at Kisa before going to sit down behind his desk. He slumped over
'I don't want to learn anything. Math, Japanese and English are so boring!' He said sighing. Kisa nodded her head slightly.
'Not everything is boring! For instance,' she said opening her book, 'did you know Mozart composed his first sonata before his fifth birthday? Or, that the Mona Lisa has no eyebrows because at the time, it was the fashion for women not to have eyebrows?'
Tohru covered her eyebrows with her fingers and gave a cheesy grin. The children started to giggle and Tohru turned around and opened the doors that lead to the garden,
'Come on, we're having this lesson outside!' The children smiled at each other and ran out after Tohru. They continued the lessons outside and Tohru taught them all about plants, which ones you could eat, which were poisonous and all about the different animals they saw.
When she bought the children back in to the entrance she saw a boy. He had white hair but the shaven part underneath was black. He turned around and gave a cheeky grin
'so, you're the new governess. With a body like that I think you might have to teach me a few lessons. If you know what I mean.' He said winking at Tohru and making a beeline towards her.
At this point Kyo entered the room and hit the man over the head
'Haru, if you so much as look at Tohru again I'm telling Rin.' Haru quickly got up and squared up to Kyo
'You wouldn't dare.' Kyo raised an eyebrow at him and gave a dark chuckle.
'Wouldn't I?' Haru's eyes widened and he turned towards the door without looking at Tohru. He called for Kisa and Hiro to follow him and they left.
'I'll be on the roof if you need me.' Kyo said swiftly leaving. Tohru looked around to see she was the only one there, so she went up to her room
At the Main House
'Come in Hatori.' Akito drawled as the door to her room opened.
'I have news about Shigure.' Hatori said kneeling down in front of the God. She frowned, judging by the tone of his voice this wasn't news that Akito would want to hear. She waved her hand telling him to continue.
'A girl has moved in. She's been hired as a Governess for Hiro and Kisa. She is not paid with money, but with shelter and food.'
Akito closed her eyes as if she seemed bored of the conversation
'So be it,' she said to a surprised Hatori, 'we will keep her for as long as Hiro and Kisa need her for their education, but if she finds out about the curse, do what you must. Now go, I am weary.' Hatori exited leaving her on her own.
Back at the house
Tohru tossed and turned in bed. It was too hot to be inside on such a warm summer's night. She quietly got out of bed bringing her pillow with her and made her way out of the house.
She went around the side and saw the ladder was still there. Smiling she climbed up the ladder and onto the roof. Kyo wasn't here so she assumed her would be inside probably already asleep.
The summer's breeze cooled her hot skin and she let out a sigh. She put the pillow down and quickly fell asleep.
'Where are you taking my mummy?' a young Tohru asked as men came and covered her mothers face with a cloth.
'We're taking her to Heaven, so she can be with your daddy sweet pea.' One of the men said smiling sadly at her. Tohru's eyes started to fill up,
'Take me as well! Please take me as well! I don't want to be alone! I want my mummy! I would like to go to Heaven with mummy and daddy!' At this pint the little girls eyes began to pour over and the kind man knelt down so that he was the same height as her
'I'm sorry Tohru, but we can't do that. But, you won't be alone, I promise. We are going to take you to your aunt and uncle's house. That should be fun! There will be lots of space for you to play in and a huge house to explore.' Tohru wiped her eyes and smiled
'Okay, sir, I'll go there!'
Tohru awoke and sat up disorientated. She wiped her eyes and was surprised to find them wet with her tears.
'You know,' came a familiar voice, 'you shouldn't really sleep up here. You'll catch a fever or you could roll right off.' Tohru looked over at Kyo who was lying quite close to her bathing in the sun with his eyes closed.
He opened one eye and looked at her giving a cat-like grin.
'So, do want to tell me why you started crying and shouting in your sleep?'
How was it? anything wrong with it? Feel free to criticise my work, just as long as it's constructive criticism.
