Korie [Fruits Basket fanfic]

Chapter 27

Haru's p.o.v

I don't know how to feel. It's like I'm sad, angry, and full of regret...But I don't know why. Hatori has been talking with Shigure for a long time now. Korie makes a noise, like she's thinking/dreaming about something bad and painful. Tears start to roll down her cheeks. I say, 'Yuki?' He looks at me and says, 'Yes Haru?' 'Korie....' is all I say and he immediately looks at her. Momiji moves out of the way so Yuki can sit next to his sister, I nod my head to him sending a silent sign of approval. Kyo starts to walk towards her but then thinks about it stays where he's at. Tohru says softly, 'Is she waking up?' Just as Yuki was about to say something there was a knock at the door and Tohru went to get it and we immediately heard Zak. He bursts through the door past Tohru and straight to the living room. 'What the fuck did you freaks do to Korie?' He starts walking towards her and Tohru stands in front of him and says, 'Would you like some tea?' He pushes his anger aside for an instant to say, ' Yes please.' Then he goes back to his rampage, then starts walking closer to Korie. He throws Yuki aside and lands on his feet and gives him a dirty look. He's about to attack Zak when Korie sits up and says in a emotionless tone, 'Zakery Hiro, You should leave.' He laughs. 'And who's gonna make me?' 'Korie Ai Sohma animal: bobcat.' Her eyes turned coal black, I look at the others, they seem to have noticed it too. Zak scoffs and says, 'You are no Sohma.' She says, 'According to the history of the Sohma's, there is a legend of the bobcat. The bobcat's curse was the same as any other of the Sohma's, only the bobcat was/is the protector of the Sohma's seeing how everyone else in line to protect the Sohma's either died or refused. The bobcat had no choice, the bobcat disliked it's position, but soon the bobcat loved its job. Til one day the bobcat was no longer needed because "God" was protecting the animals, yet for no reason the bobcat keeps being reborn. After while the bobcat got bored and left the Sohma's alone for a while.' Here she paused and her eyes and nose were bleeding. Zak says, 'You're point?' She takes a mean tone towards Zak and says, 'If you would let me finish, you imbecile...The bobcat became drawn back close to the Sohma's. Each generation of bobcats have had some kind of abuse because the bobcat disobeyed "God", "God" made sure every generation of bobcats gets sent to him when they are born.' I don't think this is Korie speaking anymore. 'This generation of the bobcat, was born with Yuki Sohma. I chose her because I felt like she could endure any amount of pain. I know it may sound bad, but it's really not. Right now she is unconscious, yet I am controlling her body.' Zak looks confused but replaces it with what seems to be anger and says, ' So what? You gonna bite me?' 'No. Of course not. That would be the best punishment for you...No I'm gonna let Korie deal with you.' 'She's unconscious, idiot.' She chuckles. 'Good-bye Sohma's.' With that she leaves and Korie lays back on the couch, like she never woke up. Zak mumbles, 'What a wuss.' Kyo kicks Zak outta the house and into a tree. Momiji says, 'That must be terrible what the poor bobcat goes through each generation...always hurt never loved....but what's even worse is the victim that the bobcat takes on. Korie is a very strong girl.' Yuki says, 'Is this my fault?' Just then Hatori walks in, 'No Yuki. None of this is your fault nor is it anyone else who is in this house right now. The "God" that the bobcat spirit spoke of is this current "God" Akito. That is why she knew who he was...He's the one who sent Korie away. He thought that having-' Yuki interrupts him and says, 'Having a bobcat and rat grow up together they might become enemies and the bobcat eat the rat...' 'The bobcat spirit helps Korie live...She lives through the guitar...The only thing that the spirit likes is music and apparently the only thing that keeps her calm is playing the guitar. I'm still gonna have to wait til she wakes up in order to see if she really is ok.' We all groan. I say, 'Come on, Momiji. Time to head home.' He nods his head and runs up to Korie and whispers in her ear something that nobody could hear. On our walk home I ask, 'What did you say to Korie?' He just looks at me and smiles, 'It's a secret.'
