"You must be mistaken." The women says. Kyo, Yuki, and Shigure look at Tohru in shock.
"It's been a while." Tohru continues, ignoring the woman's response.
"You are mistake. I have no children." the women says, firmer this time.
"Of course you do. But there's only two of us left. Aimee died two years ago." Tohru says, smiling and standing up.
"Get away from me!" the women says, backing up.
Tohru looks at her and reaches up. She grabs her hair, tearing off her brown wig, revealing her long, white silky hair. "But I look just like you mother. So does Ying."
"I am not your mother!" the women says, clearly startled.
Tohru reaches up toward her eyes, taking out her contacts, revealing her oddly colored eyes.
"Do you recognize me now mother?"
The woman screams. "Get away from me!" she says, very frightened.
Reaching into her shirt, Tohru pulls out an old, worn locket. "How about now, mother?"
Tohru steps closer to the woman. She keeps getting closer until their noses almost touch.
"You never loved us, did you?" She whispers.
"Yang. Get the hell away from me." The woman says through her teeth, slapping Tohru, knocking her down.
"What is going on here?!" Shigure says, recovering his voice.
"I'm coming back for you mother. We both are. And we're going to drag you down to hell with us." said Tohru in a bitter voice.
"Yang. Enough." A deeper voice says from the shadows. A man steps out, dressed all in black, covering his face.
"But Ying…" Yang says, clearly wanting to finish what she had started.
"Yang. Leave it." He says again in a sharper tone.
"Fine. If you insist." the woman runs away, screaming. "What are you doing here?" Tohru asks the man.
"Yang. Think about what you just asked. We are being hunted because our mother wants us dead. You were planning on confronting her and removing your disguise. You also have brought along the zodiac. Did it not occur to you that there was a slight chance that I would show up?" Ying explained bitterly.
"Well. Someone forgot to drink their happy juice this morning" Tohru said, standing up.
"How do you know that we are the zodiac?" Kyo asks angrily, suddenly regaining his voice.
The man turns and looks at the three of them, revealing his face.
"Akito." Yuki gasps.
"Who did you think I was, a f**king mailman?" he replies.
"Now brother, they have no clue what's going on." Tohru scolds.
"And we must keep it that way. Bring them to the garden, we will erase their memories there." Akito says
"Not this time. Mother saw them. It's in their best interest to know because she will go after them too." said Tohru.
Akito runs his fingers through his hair. "You're right. Then we must bring them back to the main house for now, I'll call in Kazuma."
A bright smile fills Tohru's face. "Yay! We get to see Stitches!"
