The Creepy Music...>>
Sara laughed nervously, "Don't worry about it. Sometimes I think I hear something... Like sometimes I swear I hear someone calling my name, and I'll go to see whoever called me, or turned around in the hall... And nothing... Oh well... It happens from time to time." She smiled brightly and sighed.
"Yes." Was all Hatori had to say on the matter.
"Say, do you know if Tohru has any pants? I'm not much of a skirt slash dress person, and that's all Tohru seems to wear... Even in winter. Brrr." Sara shivered at the thought of a dress in winter.
"I really don't know. I don't live here." Hatori answered.
"Oh yeah, that's right... Oh well... I guess I'll just ask Kyo or Yuki." Sara shrugged.
"That's quite interesting." Hatori murmered, not really looking at Sara.
"What?" Sara asked, a semi deer-caught-in-the-headlights look.
"Oh, it's nothing, really. Tohru would always talk about Yuki and Kyo, saying Yuki's name first." Hatori explained, trying to suppress a smile at Sara's clueless look.
"Yeah, I noticed that too. I think she likes Yuki more than Kyo. As in she _like_ likes him." Sara smiled to herself after she thought about how much of a 'valley girl' she sounded like when she said that. Hatori nodded.
"I think I'll go down and discuss everything with Shigure and the others. No strenuous activities for you." Hatori said, standing and walking to the door.
"Ok!" Sara said brightly and smiled.
Hatori walked out the door, closing it behind him. 'I know I heard that music. It wasn't anything like what happens when I think I hear something. Those instances are always just a little echo-y... This was clear as water. He must've heard it too.' Sara thought as she slipped out of bed, crossing the room to the closet.
"I've got to find something that's not a damn dress or skirt!" She said aloud and rummaged through the clothing.
She'd just found a semi-suitable outfit, when she heard the music again. The same bells and slow piano.
Sara stopped what she was doing and cocked her head. 'There it is again.' She thought as the music stopped abruptly a few more notes further into the song than before.

What Are You Talking About?
"Well, now that you're awake, I'd like to ask you a few questions." Hatori started as he pulled out a cigarette.
"Sure, but only if you don't smoke." Sara said, then noticed the odd look on his face. "It's a disgusting habit, bad for the smoker's health and the health of anyone near the smoker." Sara said simply.
"I see." Hatori fell silent for a moment, then looked at her. "Sara, tell me, what do you remember about this morning."
"Well, I woke up and got dressed. I was irritated because Mom was harping on me to hurry. She was worried that I might end up being late. So about 15-20 minutes after getting out of bed and dressing, I left the house. I drove of coarse, and I got to the ballroom on time. Alicia was the one who was late." Sara paused for a moment as she resettled herself in the bed.
"Once Alicia got there, we started to decorate. I mean it _is_ Junior Prom and it _is_ supposed to be special. Poor Alicia, she was soo stressed. No one was helping her. I'm a good worker, so I knew she'd really appriciate it if I helped out a little. I don't think me falling off an 18 foot ladder really helped too much, though. Knowing me, the sign I was hanging probably fell down after I bounced." Sara laughed at her own joke, knowing that with her luck, it was probably true.
"Anyway, when I woke up, I was here... In Tohru's body, living with Shigure, Kyo, and Yuki." Sara looked at Hatori, not really seeing him, letting her mind sink into thoughtfulness while Hatori digested everything.
Sara stared in front of her, letting her eyes unfocus as they sometimes do when she relaxes. Sara's breath came slower as her mind started to unravel. In the back of her deteriorating consciousness, Sara recognized an odd, slightly haunting melody.
Bells, high notes on a piano, slowly pushing forward. Her mind snapped back into place with such force and suddenness, that her head shot forward from it's sagging position on her chest. Her whole body jolted with the realization that she'd heard that melody before.
Chills ran up her spine. "Hatori, did you hear that?" She asked urgently, but his blank look gave her the answer she needed. "That music... Didn't you hear it?" When Hatori answered, Sara realized he thought she was losing her mind.

NOOOOO!!!
Somehow I accidentally deleted the last post... I didn't have my floppy at the time so I don't have a backup!! *crapcrapcrapcrapSHITFUCKcrapcrapcrap!!*
Ok, I can't really remember what I did... I wasn't really thrilled with that post anyway... I'll just adlib or something... Please don't be mad!!

Sara started to wake. Something was different. Quiet. 'What's going on? Why the hell is it so quiet?' Sara thought as she opened her eyes to look around. She was now in Tohru's room, lying in Tohru's bed with a cool damp cloth on her forehead. 'Wow, this bed is comefy.' Sara thought, then laughed at herself.
"Why the hell am I thinking about how comfortable the bed is...It's not even my bed!" She sat up, talking to herself, like she always did when she thought she was alone.
"It's not your bed?" Hatori said from a chair directly to her left.
"EEP!!" Sara said, jumping a little. "Could ya give a little warning next time?! I didn't think anyone was in here!"
"I'm sorry to have startled you, but someone needed to keep an eye on your condition. I am a doctor, so I would be the logical canidate." Hatori apologized.

Pop!
"It's alright, you can open your eyes now." Hatori said quietly.
Sara opened her eyes. "Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt your examination...But Kyo transformed...And... Yeah..." Sara dwindled off with a shrug and sat still for Hatori as he moved in front of her with his little flash light.
Hatori was about to shine the light into Sara's eyes when, *"Shigure! Hatori! Ahh, Lucky Kyo! And of coarse little brother, how are you?" Ayame said loudly as he came bounding into the room. *"Oh Tohru, what happened to you? Kyo didn't get to rambunctious while fighting Yuki, did he?" Ayame was by her side in moments. *"You know Kyo it's really not nice to do such things."
*"I never touched her! And didn't I tell you to stop calling me Lucky Kyo!?" Kyo yelled as he shook his fist at Ayame.
Sara flinched slightly at the loud noises assaulting her ears, reminding her that her head was pounding.
*"Ayame, would you plea-" Yuki began. *"Oh! He spoke to me! Shigure did you hear!? Yuki actually spoke to me! Well, I guess he couldn't ignore me forever. I am after all, his older brother and he admires and looks up to me so much." Ayame interrupted in his excitement.
Sara stood up on wobbly legs, "Ayame, please be quiet. My head is hurting and your loudness isn't helping." Sara said quietly.
*"Excuse me? I'm sorry Tohru, but my English isn't very good and I-" Ayame began to say even louder than before and Sara swooned, falling right onto Ayame. There was a cloud of light gray smoke and a soft pop as Ayame turned into a snake and Sara started plummeting to the floor.
*"Tohru!" Yuki and Kyo called together as they both reached forward to stop Sara's fall, and ended up transforming themselves with two more popping noises and clouds of colored smoke.

Still Mixing
"But my name _is_ Sara, not Tohru. My name is Sara Penn, I'm 17 years old. I was born in Lancaster CA. My blood type is B+ and I'm a Taurus." Sara said after a moment of staring blankly at Hatori and Shigure. Some how she'd known that Shigure wasn't convinced that she wasn't Tohru.
"I know for a fact that I must be hallucinating, because you are all fictional characters from one of my favorite anime...Back home..." Sara couldn't help but get worked up and her chest was heaving as she tried to calm her breathing.
"Why else would I be speaking English so fluently? I only understand people's names... and only when you're speaking slowly enough... in Japanese." Sara made a move to stand up, be decided against it when she realized how shaky she was.
"Hmmm..." Hatori's non-commental noise drew her attention. "You do have a point... Sara, do you mind if I take a look at your head?" He asked quietly.
Sara smiled slightly, 'He doesn't believe me... He thinks I'm Tohru, who's having a weird episode because she bumped her head.' "Sure, it hurts right here." Sara pointed to an area on the back of her head.
With a doctor's gentle touch, Hatori parted her hair and examened the area Sara had so kindly pointed out. There was no doubt about it, the area she'd pointed out was not anywhere near the part of the brain that would give her some sort of temporary amnesia or indicate a MPD.
'This is quite odd... If she didn't hit her head and get amnesia, then why is she acting this way?' Hatori thought as he started to move in front of her when there was a soft popping noise and a cloud of orange smoke.
"Gyahhh!" Sara screamed as she reached behind her for Kyo's clothing as she jerked backwards and turned her head so she wouldn't see Kyo in all of his nakedness.
(Ok, well everything inside a pair of '' is indicating thought.. Normally I'd itallicise that.. but I'm lazy and this is faster...lol.. And ummm...MPD= Multiple Personality Disorder...)

Mixing It Up
Sara fell backwards again and landed on a pile of clothing and something fuzzy. After a brief moment she sat up quickly, turned and picked up an orange cat.
"Kyo!" She cried holding the cat out in front of her. "You're Kyo Sohma." She paused and looked around her. "Yuki Sohma and you're Shigure Sohma." Sara said as her eyes traveled from one man to the other.
The older, dark haired man now known as Shigure nodded. "Yes, I think it's safe to say we know who we are. Tohru, I called Ha'ri and he's on his way here now. Why don't you put Kyo down and go up to your room with Yuki's help?"
"But you don't understand! My name isn't Tohru Honda and why weren't you speaking English before? It would have helped!! I don't speak Japanese!" Sara cried, unconsciously holding Kyo-kitty closer and scratching behind his ears.
"Well what _is_ your name then?" A voice said from the doorway. Sara turned and Kyo-kitty slipped out of her arms and sat in front of her.
*"Hatori, how nice to see you. Tohru tripped on the stairs and bumped her head when she landed. Now she thinks her name is Sara." Shigure said quickly in Japanese. All Sara could understand was her and Tohru's name.
(Ok, I'm weak...I can't let you all suffer until next week...You might even get lucky tomorrow too..lol)

Waking Up Part 2
After a long pause, an older sounding man spoke sofly, "Tohru?"
"Tohru? My name is Sara, not Tohru..." She paused, talking was making her head hurt even more. "Who are you people anyway? Where's Alicia?" She opened her eyes again to look around and see for the first time, clearly, room she was currently in and more specifically, the three men sitting around her.
"Where the hell am I?" Sara asked as she sat up quickly, and wishing immediately that she hadn't. Sara leaned back and propped herself up with one elbow and one hand on her head.
The man who'd been calling her 'Honda-san' reached out his hand to help steady her and she looked at him.
"Answer me! Where am I!? Who the hell are you? And where is Alicia?" Sara said, allowing her anger, frustration, pain and a little fear show in her voice.
"Calm down Tohru, you-" The man behind her started to say, but stopped when Sara whirled around to her left.
The whirling motion made Sara quite dizzy and started to fall to her right. The red-haired teenaged boy who was sitting to her right reached out and caught her as she fell. *"Oops." Was all he managed to get out before an orange cloud of smoke enveloped him accompanied by a soft poping noise.
(Well I think I'll stop here until next week... *evil laughter* I shall make you wait to see what happens next!!)

Waking Up
Sara slowly started to come too. She could hear voices, people talking, but their words weren't making any sense. Just jumbled sounds assaulting her ears.
Sara moaned and the voices stopped for a moment. Sara managed to open her eyes a little, but she was only able to make out three blurry shapes that looked oddly like people.
One leaned over her and said, "Honda-san? Honda-san are you alright?"
All Sara could understand was the obvious concern in the young man's voice and 'Honda-san'. More than the lack of understanding, the sharp pains shooting through her head made her face contort in pain.
"Shhh..." Sara started, "Not so loud, please." Even her own voice hurt her head, but after she'd spoken, the room was blissfully silent.

*Umm well I'm not going to write everything they say in romanji or anything, so it'll be in english. I'll put an * or something next to it to indicate something someone doesn't understand ok?

Saturday... 1 Weekend before Jr Prom
"Hey Sara, can you please move that sign over about an inch or two?" Alicia asked Sara, who was standing on the ladder, already leaning dangerously to one side.
"This way?" Sara asked, moving the sign closer to herself.
"Mmmno...The other way...Yeah that's good" Alicia said as Sara moved the sign to Alicia's specifications. "Becareful getting down."
Sara nodded and took a step downwards, to where she thought the next step on the ladder was and missed. "Ohhh!" Was all Sara managed to get out before she thumped her head against the hard wall and scrapped it as she fell 18 feet to the floor.
~~~~Meanwhile~~~~
Tohru was rushing down the stairs at Shigure's house. "I can't believe I forgot to say 'Goodbye' to mom aga-" Tohru started to say as she tripped over one of the steps *again* Tohru tumbled down the stairs, banging her head on the floor with a loud thump as she collided with the wooden floor at the base of the stairs.

Hehe it all starts today
"The Junior Prom is only two weeks away and Alicia is the only one making decorations." Lyndsey said as she and her friend Sara walked to their next class. "Why isn't anyone helping her? Isn't that what the Leadership people supposed to be doing?" Sara asked. Lyndsey just shrugged her shoulders and made a non-commental noise. "Tell Alicia that I'll help her whenever she needs me too, she just needs to let me know a day or two in advance." Sara said as the bell rang and they ducked into their class.

(This story takes place _after_ the series has ended... If you haven't seen all 26 episodes, be careful. I will most likely make references to things that have happened in the show and it might ruin the experiance for you.)
