Chapter 2- Free
[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]
Use this video to get an idea of what the OC, Tenshi, would sound like. You can choose to stick with the Dub or Sub version of her voice. (But I prefer the Sub ( ̄∇ ̄))
Third person POV
*Knock knock*
"... Come in Hatori." Tenshi said, shifting her sitting position on her knees with her hands resting on her lap.
"I came to check up on your well-being." Hatori shut the door before him and placed his bag onto the small desk in the room.
"Thank you." Tenshi smiled ever so lightly.
She had known to greet Hatori's name before he entered past her door because he was the only person who had the right to enter her room with a key. Plus, unlike Akito, Hatori actually knocks.
Hatori checked her pulse and gave her two tablets worth of medicine. Handing her a bottle of water, she gulped it down and sighed as she twisted the lid shut.
Hatori glanced at Tenshi and noticed a shade of purple and blue on her cheek. Concerned, he pulled out a few other medical tools to help bandage up her injury.
"Hm?" Tenshi blinked when Hatori walked back up to her.
"Did Akito do this to you?" Hatori asked, lacing over a cream over her bruised up cheek.
"Oh, that? I mean, Akito is the one and only who could have done so..." Tenshi scoffed and grinned in a crooked manner, a joking tone dancing around her voice.
"......" Hatori finished bandaging her bruise and packed away his supplies.
"Are you hurt anywhere else?" He asked, making sure that his job was done properly.
"No, I'm fine. If that is you exclude non-physical injuries...." Tenshi mumbled the last part, making it inaudible to hear.
Hatori turned back to Tenshi, not hearing the other half of what she said. He gave a look asking her what she had said, but she shrugged it off.
"Nothing! I'm all good! Thank you Hatori!" Tenshi smiled brightly, bowing her head afterwards.
"... Your welcome." Hatori zipped his bag closed and uneasily left after saying his goodbye.
Seeing that Hatori wouldn't enter her room again after supposedly forgetting to tell her something, Tenshi immediately let out a long sigh. She walked over to her small bookshelf hidden in her closet and pulled out an old notebook. The notebook was decorated with childish stickers and doodles, laced with a neat yet unsteady handwriting to title the journal.
"... I can't wait to see the world in its days of a new blooming sprout..." Tenshi softly said, her words knitting into whispers of a wondrous melody.
Her fingers lightly brushed over the journal's surface and her eyes lightened up. A small grin filled with hope yet bitterness was plastered onto her porcelain and small framed face.
Time skip
"Today is the day." Tenshi grinned, standing up to look out the barred window in excitement.
A knock was placed upon her door and Tenshi allowed permission for the ladies to enter her room.
Three older women came in with assortment of objects and clothing in their arms. They sat me down and brushed my hair, placed on makeup, and dressed me up nicely for my special day.
It was the first time I had such treatment on my birthday, but this action is only to be done today since it's my last day at the Sohma house.
How fascinating it is to achieve part of my freedom back as a being.
"Mistress, your attire is complete. Hatori will be your escort and will shortly arrive." The three women bowed and gracefully exited the room with the beauty tools in their arms.
"... Is this really me?" Tenshi chuckled, looking through the hand mirror.
Her long pink hair was decorated delicately into a traditional look which would look like bunny ears. Her kimono complimented her bright colors— Purple base and rose like patterns ran down her elegant and flowing skirt. A big and silky dark magenta bow was tied on her back with its center wrapping around her torso. She had a long and transparent shawl gracing over her shoulders. And finally, her black flats were new and shiny.
*Knock knock*
"Ah! Come in Hatori!" Tenshi cheered, carefully placing down the hand mirror onto the wooden and worn out coffee table.
"You sound much more cheerful." Hatori said, his gaze softening.
"Hehe! Of course! It's a special day after all!" Tenshi giggled, standing up with the help of Hatori extending his hand.
"You look beautiful Tenshi." Hatori brushed his fingers across Tenshi's covered bruise in a fatherly way and felt her grasp his hand.
"Thank you... I'll miss you and some others though." Tenshi sighed, closing her eyes.
"I know that you want to see him, but you'll just have to wait a bit." Hatori said, retracting his hand back to his side and walking to the door with Tenshi's arms linked to his.
"Yeah... I know. I'm so close already, so I can't give up." Tenshi said a little bit more seriously than she intended, but shrugged it off.
Walking out of her room, she was hit with the scent of the outside world she was unfamiliar with. A calm and sophisticated grin locked into place as they exited the hall and out into the light.
Tenshi had to tone down her excitement behind her calm face since they were facing two lines of staff.
One line of the staff were females while the other were males. They created an aisle for Tenshi to walk through. And as she passed them, they would bow their heads down as their saying of farewell. Still, Tenshi could see the confusion in most of the staff's eyes since her presence was unknown to many.
Hatori opened the door to the car in the car seat for Tenshi and helped her in by holding onto her shawl to prevent it from getting dirty. He closed the door after after she got in and entered the driver's seat himself.
"Hatori... I haven't been in a car in over ten years...!" Tenshi exclaimed brightly, her eyes large and round. She finally let out her joy since they were away from the inside of the house.
"You'll continue being happy where you're staying at too." Hatori said, glancing at the girl through the mirror above him.
"Hm? Where exactly?" Tenshi cocked her head to the side, but immediately was distracted by the view of the outside world she had only heard off and seen in books.
"Woah...!" Tenshi had both of her hands placed onto the window, her eyes sparkling in fascination. Her mind tried memorizing everything she saw in sight.
The whole entire car ride, Tenshi would just admire and awe at everything she saw, completely distracted from any question she had previously. She was absolutely amazed to be outside again.
"We're here."
"Gah! I didn't realize the car stopped moving!" Tenshi sheepishly giggled as Hatori opened the door for her and helped assist her out of the car with her gown.
"This house is far into the woods... Who lives here?" Tenshi asked. She was nervous staying at an unfamiliar place, but it was her first time smelling the the fresh and clean air of the woods rather than dust in a closed off room.
"A good friend of mine's." Was all Hatori said, linking his arm to Tenshi's they approached the house.
*Ding dong*
'A good friend of Hatori's, huh... Hm. I wonder who it could be—'
"Hello~! It is lovely to see you— Oof!"
"Shigure!" Tenshi exclaimed and tackled the older male, a wide smile of relief and happiness engraved onto her face
"Well, hello again Tenshi! We meet again after these long years!" Shigure chuckled, patting down onto the girl's head.
"This is too good to be true! I get to stay here?!" Tenshi sparkled and clasped her hands together.
"Of course." Hatori and Shigure said nearly at the same time.
"I-I'm so truly happy!" Tenshi teared up and immediately brushed off her tears of joy.
"Come inside the house!" Shigure welcomed the two and immediately poured them some tea.
"Ah~! I never thought that I've ever feel this happy in my life!" Tenshi giggled, her hand clasped together.
"Ah, well, he will be arriving home in a bit." Shigure said in a carefree tone.
"Eh?" Tenshi blinked and titled her head in confusion.
"YOU'RE SO DAMN ANNOYING YOU RAT!" A rough male's voice shouted, surprising Tenshi as her spine went cold. Her facial expression was frozen with shock of the loud voice.
*Slide*
"Huh?" Yuki's eyes widened and dropped his school bag, not expecting to see a pink haired girl in the room.
".....?" Tohru blankly blinked her eyes and stared at the girl in amazement of her beautiful aura and unique hair.
"WHO THE HELL IS SHE?!" Kyo pointed his finger at girl who looked calm on the outside their eyes, but in truth, she was panicking.
"Now now! How dare you say mean words to your—" Shigure was cut off by Tenshi's sudden action of getting up and running towards the three.
"?!?!?!?!" They all silently screamed.
"Big brother! I've miss you!" Tenshi jumped onto Kyo despite her dress limiting some movements.
Kyo tripped on her skirt while trying to balance himself, resulting to a fall with the both of them. Kyo groaned and winced at the impact of his head and back to the ground and whipped his head over to the pinklette.
"Brother?! As far as I know, I'm an only child!" Kyo shouted, shoving off Tenshi from hugging him.
"Kyo didn't turn into his zodiac form?" Tohru questioned out loud, gaining Tenshi's attention.
"Are you also part of the Sohma family?" Tenshi tilted her head.
"Ah, no! I-I'm not!" Tohru waved her hands around and panicked. She tried coming up with an explanation, but her rambles were confusing and unable to be decoded.
"Why don't you three sit down and introduce yourselves to each other~!" Shigure laughed at the group as they each took their own seat. Tenshi sat back next to Hatori.
"My name is Tenshi Sohma! I am just a year younger than Kyo and I'm his sister!" Tenshi smiled, looking at Kyo with admirable eyes.
"I am not your brother." Kyo grumbled. "The name's Kyo Sohma..."
"I'm Tohru Honda! I accidentally came across the Sohma family and live here with them in exchange to clean and cook! Nice to meet you!" Tohru bowed a slight bit, her smile never failing to hold up by will. Tenshi bowed back in return.
"... I am Yuki Sohma...." Yuki said, staring into Tenshi's deep purple eyes in silence.
"Well, now that you've all met! We have great news to tell you three~!" Shigure exclaimed, his cheery smile booming and brightening the room.
"I'm moving in~!" Tenshi shot up both of her hands in the air, a cat like grin plastering onto her face.
It was silent for a few seconds while the group processed what she said. To be in fact, it took then ten seconds to react.
"WHAT?!" Kyo shouted, his eyes completely going blank white.
"Sh-should I start making dinner???" Tohru fumbled with her fingers.
"Why so suddenly?" Yuki asked, his eyes blinking many times.
"What kind of bullshit is this?! I've never of a Tenshi Sohma or you being my sister! What a load of crap!" Kyo rolled his eyes and crossed his arms. He scoffed at the thought of even having a sister.
"Kyo. Watch your tongue." Hatori sternly said.
"....." Tenshi frowned and lowered her head, her eyes unseen from everyone. "U-uwah! How can you say such mean thing big brother~!" Tenshi bolted her head up, tears pouring down her face like a rapid stream, not bothering to wipe them away.
"A-eh-aah!" Tohru panicked at the sight of the new girl crying. "Kyo, please apologize! I know that you're not familiar with this being sudden, but saying all of that was hurtful..." Tohru furrowed her eyebrows in worry.
"... Fine. I'm sorry for what I said." Kyo said, rubbing the back of his neck unsurely as he let out an annoyed sigh.
"I forgive you brother!" Tenshi jumped at Kyo with a hug, a tic mark appearing onto his forehead.
"Just lay off with the hugs!" Kyo yelled, ripping her apart from him.
"O-okay! I'll try!" Tenshi cheered determinedly, giggling to herself. She wiped away her tears with her sleeves and smiled.
"Well, I should be heading back. Pleas take care of Tenshi." Hatori bowed and was embraced by Tenshi one more time before he drove off and back to the Sohma house.
"So, I'm sure you all have questions about Tenshi, but we should have dinner first and then we will talk about it in the morning." Shigure said, standing up. "I have some unfinished work to do before my editor rips my head off." Shigure ran off in a tearful laughter and left the teens by themselves.
"I'll make some dinner right away! You guys can chat." Tohru said, standing up and humming to herself while disappearing into the kitchen.
"........" Kyo sat there with annoyance and anxiousness. He hated to suddenly have this unknown girl who claims to be his sister. Plus, he could feel Tenshi's eyes burning through his skull.
"Ugh! What do you want already?!" Kyo snapped, twisting his head to Tenshi as she flinched in surprise.
"H-how have you been brother?!" Tenshi squeaked.
"Horrible!" Kyo spatted, earning s good whack from Yuki. "FIGHT ME!"
"Oh shut it you stupid cat." Yuki glared, sighing to regain his composure.
'... I think I will do just fine here.' Tenshi thought to herself, a beautifully determined smile surprising the two boys.
"I think I'll like it here!"
