Authors note: THIS IS A SEQUAL! If you have not read A Fruba Tale then STOP! You will not understand unless you read that first. If you have read A Fruba Tale, then continue. I realize that I don't name my chapters, but what's in a name? A rose by any other name will smell as sweet. I was sort of debating on what should happen next. You are in for a nice surprise. I know the information in my story might not be correct and it might not make sense and they might have a lot of breaks from school, but does it really matter if the story is good? And I do realize that time is a little warped but I wanted it to be May and I didn't want a big gap of time to go by. It doesn't really matter that much unless you care. Well, I hope you like my choice and my warped sense of time…

Ch. 9

Tohru came downstairs to see Shigure drinking his coffee and reading the paper at the table. "Good morning, Shigure." She said with a smile.

"Good morning, Tohru." He said without looking up. "How are you?"

"Fine. I think I have accepted your decision. I just need a little time to get over it. What would you like for breakfast?"

"How about onigiri and leeks?"

"Sure, but I will make something special for Kyo." She started to get the pans out to cook. "Where are they, by the way?"

"Kyo is still sleeping, the lazy bum, and Yuki is out in the yard."

Just then, as if on queue, Yuki walked in. "Good morning, Tohru. I have some fresh leeks and strawberries." He said with his princely smile.

"Great, I was just going to make some. Fresh leeks taste so much better!" she said as she picked up the plant.

"How are you feeling?"

"I'm fine, and you?"

"Great."

Kyo walked in and over to the fridge where he took a gulp from the milk carton.

"Good morning, Kyo." Shigure said. Tohru and Yuki remained quiet.

"What are you looking at you damn rat!" Kyo snapped when he noticed that Yuki was staring at him.

Yuki walked up to him and glared at him. "Take good care of her." he whispered so that only he could hear.

"What is that supposed to mean?!"

"I think you know."

"I am going to call Arisa and Hana-chan! We are planning a great vacation for next week, if you don't mind. We were planning on going away or something." Tohru said as she grabbed the phone and dialed her friends.

"We're already on our way!" Uo said when she picked up her cell phone. "We are walking in the front door right now!"

"Uo-chan! Hanajima!" Tohru yelled as she hung up the phone and ran up to hugged her friends. "What a nice surprise!"

"Great!" Kyo said.

"Are you making fun of us, Kyo. I sense some negative waves coming from you!" Hana said.

"NO! Not at all. Stay away!"

"How are you Shigure?" Arisa asked.

"I'm fine. By the way, do you two both remember what occurs next week?"

"The beginning of May?" Kyo asked.

"The beginning of May of your eighteenth year."

"So…" they said.

"So, it is tradition in the Sohma family for all teens in the May of their eighteenth year to stay for a week at the other Sohma house. You should be leave by the end of next week."

"We have to stay in the same house as each other for a week?!" Kyo and Yuki shouted in unison.

"Yes."

"We have to?"

"Yea!" he said excitedly as he ran over to Tohru. "That means, you and I get to spend that week together, all alone in the house. Aren't you excited?! Think of all the fun things we can do."

"Get away from her!" Uo screamed.

"She is coming with us!" Kyo and Yuki said as they grabbed her by her arms and pulled her away from Shigure.

"I am?!" she asked as she was dragged in the opposite direction.

"Yea, why not?" Kyo asked.

"Um…well…don't you remember? I was planning on going with Uo-chan and Hana-chan. That's why they are here."

"Oh, it's okay! We will just go with you!" Arisa said.

"What?!" Kyo shouted.

"Great! Well is that okay?" Tohru asked.

"Well, it's never been done before but we don't have to check with-" he was interrupted when Yuki hit him on the back of the head. "Yes, I think it will be fine."

"This will be lots of fun! All of us together, it will be the perfect time!" Tohru said with a smile.

"Yea, great." Kyo said grumpily.

"Don't be pessimistic orangey." Arisa said. "It will be a lot of fun."

"I have to agree. The waves swirling around in this room are full of excitement. Except ones from you." She turned to Shigure. "I'm sensing some disturbing waves from you."

He sighed. "I must admit that I am a little sad that I will not be joining you on this trip. The chance to spend some quality time with Tohru and her friends and I am unable to take it."

"Oh, shut up you pervert! The only thing you want is to spend a week in the same house as three high school girls!"

"Alas, you are right. Well I must get back to work. My faithful readers are waiting."

"Don't you mean that your editor will kill you if you don't give her something soon?"

"Of course not. I have something to give her. She just doesn't know that. Just a little fun, is all." He said as he vanished from the room.

"This is going to be great!" Tohru said again with a smile.

"Well, I will see you all later." Yuki said with his princely smile as he walked from the room.

"Well we should be going as well, Tohru. Sorry for such a short visit, but we must depart." Hana said as she hugged Tohru.

"Bye Tohru!" Uo said with a smile. "Orangey."

"Yankee." Kyo said.

"Bye guys!" Tohru said with another smile.

Arisa and Hana left Kyo and Tohru all alone in the kitchen.

"Tohru, can I talk to you?" Kyo said quietly.

"Yes?"

He walked over to her. "Will you go out to dinner with me? Like, on a date?"

"Kyo-kun, I don't know what to say." He flinched. "I would love to go to dinner with you." She said she hugged him. "I should finish breakfast."

"Okay. How about tonight?"

"Yea, I guess. That sounds great."

"Great. I'll see you later." Kyo said with a smile as he walked from the room.
