Dare fics.

This is basically a collection of Dare Ficlets. Donate ideas if possible; that would really help, seeing as I only have one….

Disclaimer: Neither the characters from Fruits Basket nor the basis of these "Ficlets" are mine, being that the Ideas for all of these came from other people.

Also, in All Randomness, (Notice the capital "R") there is a cat on my lap as well as on my screen and the cat on my lap is trying to pat the one on my screen.

The Phrase for this one is

"Well… bedtimes going to be awkward…" said by Yuki Sohma.

This one is rated T

The camera and its problems.

Warning: Contains OC and slight OOCness on the part of Kyo Sohma (Yuki might be a little OOC too, but you can put that down to Sudora's influence. Confused? Don't worry, it's going to be explained later.). Also, Hatsuharu is partly black (Or feeling mischievous… whichever.). Also, the 'E e' button wasn't working when I first typed this but I think I caught all the errors… Hopefully… Rated for Kyo's mouth and Yuki's actions.

Kyo closed his eyes angrily and tried to stop himself from punching the wall. Why did that damn Rat have to take so freakin' long to take a goddamned mother freakin' bath?

"What the hell! Did You Drown In There Or Something!" He yelled in frustration. Like it wasn't bad enough that he had spend time with His adopted older sister, who by the way was a shape-shifting-no-account-totally-downright-evil-and-absolutely-bitchy second outcast of the family, the fox. And it didn't help matters that she Insisted on calling him Onii-san simply because Kazuma had adoptd him first, even though she (usually) looked older even if no one actually knew how old she was…. And unlike him, she was banished entirely from Japan, not just from the family, From Japan, along with Yuki's older sister whom he and Ayame both ignored entirely as though she had not existed at all. And To America, of all places! To New York! The Whole state was one big Red Light district! Just because she'd purchased non-refundable tickets, Akito had insisted they had to go. Privately, he rather thought Akito was as afraid of them as the rest of the family.

"Don't even joke." Came the deadly serious voice of his sister, Sudora. He turned in surprise to see her there, all trace of what he had thought was her ever-present smile/smirk gone. She ran a hand through her short red hair and yawned. Artemus glared at him.

"That is sooo not funny." She snapped angrily.

"Whatever. Clover." He said, rolling his eyes. He didn't see the big deal. Artemus shook her head angrily. He turned to punch the door but Su caught his hand with ease. He didn't react, but he was surprised, even Yuki showed some effort when he caught Kyo's attacks.

"Are you planning to pay for that door?" she asked. He just looked at her. "Then don't damage it."

Again he rolled his eyes.

"You dead?" he called again, just to irritate them. He was surprised when Artemus stepped forward and slapped him. She turned her face away from him and whispered,

"I'm sorry…" Su was staring at her friend like she'd never seen her before. Kyo was too. He'd never expected violnce of the physical sort from Artemus; Sudora was the violent one. The last time she'd hit him was for saying the word 'Fuck', 'cause she found it offensive. Her curly red hair shaded her face. Su hugged her.

"That happened once, didn't it, Su?" Artemus said, ignoring Kyo. Su sent him a sympathetic glance before answering her.

"Yes. Yes it did."

"Tell."

"Yuki was showering and something happened. We don't know what it was... Yun-chan never told us." Su said in the Void voice that she used when she talked about things that bothered her.

"Artemus got worried and opened the door. Yuki, he…" she paused, and he could see the inner struggle warring in her eyes.

"Tell him."

"It's not his business!" she snapped suddenly. "He doesn't need to know this!" he could see pain in the silver colored eyes of his sister.

"Tell him." Their eyes locked, and he could see the slow fade to gray that signified that Artemus was controlling her. She continued in that dead voice, her eyes empty.

"He was lying there in a pool of his own blood."

"It was scary, wasn't it, Su?" Artemus prompted when Su stopped.

"Yes it was." She continued. "His brown hair was doused in blood like if he had hit his head or something. I-"

"Yuki's hair is gray." Kyo interrupted

"It is now…" Artemus said darkly.

"I ran in and picked him up. He was so frail and weak and I-" She choked on her words and tears formed but she wiped them away angrily. He should have seen them as a weakness, the should have wanted to laugh, seeing the show of weakness from the strongest, second most dangerous person in The World, but he didn't, somehow. Realizing she was now telling him the story of her own volition, meaning it was important, even if she hadn't wanted him to know…Realizing she wasn't under Artemus's control for the time being… he wouldn't interrupt again since it was so hard for her to tell him this in the first place…

"I was crying so hard I could barely see and his eyes, his beautiful Blue eyes were just swimming in red… we just barely managed to get him to Hatori's Father's house And…"The words tumbled forth, spilling from her mouth that he could only understand her because he knew her.

"His eyes are Violet." He immediately wanted to slap himself as Artemus and Su shared a look.

"Now they are." Artemus said softly

"Hatori told us that his hair turned gray because of all the ye-yea- " she broke into sobs and ran away, down the stairs.

'She's crying over Yuki? Something that happened so long ago I don't remember it? Why? Sudora doesn't cry…'

"Because of all the years he lost off his life Kyo. Hotohori estimated about three decades. If it happens again, Yuki will definitely die. And his eyes were dyed permanently. Things don't have to be visible to be scars. So now you know, Demon Eyes Kyo. Not that it makes a difference to you since you're so set on killing him." She turned and walked downstairs.

He knocked on the door.

"Yuki?" he called

No answer. He tried the door.

Locked.

He was about to ram the door in when the door opened. Yuki looked at him, annoyed, a towel wrapped around his waist.

"What the hell do want?" he staggered back suddenly as arms were flung about him and Kyo hugged him, pressing his face into Yuki's wet neck. Yuki gasped in surprise.

'This is Kyo, right?' he wondered 'what the hell happened? It's got to be pretty bad for Kyo to come to me…though it could be Su… they do look alike…' a voice snapped him out of his hopeful daze, though it was muffled, it was definitely Kyo's.

"Was your hair always gray?"

"No, it used to be brown." He said sarcastically.

'What the hell kind of question is that?' he thought, then immediately felt bad for making fun of the cat when he was so obviously upset. Normally, he wouldn't care, but he knew that Su and Artemus had the ability to say and do things to Kyo that were far worse than anything he could do. They weren't human. He didn't have to be nice, but he didn't have to make it worse… He awkwardly hugged him back. He bent his head to say something, anything, when-

They both turned to see Hatsuharu. Standing there with a camera.

"How… photogenic… I'm sure Shigure would love to see this."

"Give it to me." Kyo said, releasing Yuki.

"Or what?" Haru asked, grinning.

"I suggest you give it to him." Yuki said calmly, though his heart was pounding so loud he could barely see. A film of red covered his vision. He fought it down.

"Why?"

Yuki struggled to stay calm.

"Because if you don't…" he choked and started coughing.

"Shit" Haru and Kyo said in unison. Haru ran over to Yuki's side.

"Is it an attack?"

"No." He grabbed the camera and ran into the bathroom. Haru looked stunned, Kyo, confused. He shut the door. Blinking, he looked at the tub, then to the camera. He held it over the tub, and tried to drop it, but found himself unable to do so.

He hid it under the sink. Then slammed the window open, then shut. Then drained the tub. He opened the door, feeling oddly satisfied.

"So?"

'Stop looking at me, Kyo!' he thought as he lied

"I threw it out the window." Haru ran down stairs. Kyo stared intently at Yuki until the latter turned his face away.

"Liar."

"Are you accusing me of that, or yourself? "Yuki asked cryptically.

"Feh. You. You're learning well from that sister of yours."

"From my sister? Is it my sister who's teaching me, or yours?"

"It's obviously yours. Su doesn't lie. Often." He added at the look Yuki gave him.

"No… I'm definitely learning things from your sister." Yuki said in a low interested voice that said, in the tone 'and I'm enjoying it.'

Kyo blinked in confusion.

"Maybe if you're nice to me… I could show you what I mean? "

Kyo blinked again.

"N-no thanks…"

"Okay…" Yuki said teasingly, running his hand through his hair in a motion that would have most females and a good portion of hetero, bi, and homosexual males salivating. Kyo looking swiftly away from him rewarded him. Pushing past the younger boy and walking into the room he shared with Haru and Kyo, Yuki said over his shoulder, "Offers still open whenever, Kyo…"

The bathroom door slammed. A pause, then the water came on.

"Shit-It's-Cold!" Kyo yelled. Yuki snickered, then looked around.

"Yeah... this is New York, and most idiots don't just jump straight into the water!" Su yelled up teasingly.

"I didn't!"

"Well…" he said to no one in particular. "Bedtimes going to be awkward…"

"Liar!" Su yelled back.

"Shut-UP Haru, I'll buy you a new camera." Shigure yelled

'Thank GOD Kyo's so slow he wouldn't have caught that.' Yuki thought.

"I'm NOT!"

"Who's teaching you to lie Kyo?"

"Yuki!"

Laughter and the sounds of choking from below told him he wasn't the only one who was surprised by that.

"Ugh, Shigure… you got me wet!" Sudora yelled.

Eh he..… Well… that's about it for this one. I have a second version, un-beta-ed which might be the next chapter if I can't find anything better by then to write about. Again, comments of any kind are welcome except

"Why'd Yuki do that? It doesn't make sense!"

Or

"is this going to be Yaoi? Make it Yaoi ! Make it Yaoi!"

Or

"this sucks, you suck and I will find where you hide."

Not that those aren't valid view points, but give me some kind of reason, PLEASE?

This is Kiki B. Flame,

Out.

Right… before I forget.

Hotohori - Artemus can't pronounce Hatori, so instead she says Hotohori, which happens to be Shigure's favorite character in Fushigi Yugi.(fictional info.. as far as I know, Natsuki Takaya-sensei hasn't had Shigure read Fushigi Yugi, though who knows what the characters do in their spare time?)

Random info

-machinery, chaos, destruction… those are three Japanese meanings of Kiki. It changes on how you pronounce it, so be careful…
