Summary: This is a sequel to Some Time in My Shoes but it might not matter if you haven't read that fic. But, it will fill you in on some things and you'll know what I mean by 'Chaos Returns'. (If you haven't guessed, I do suck at summaries—and I make up things as I go… ^^;; That's not the best policy, is it?)
Warnings: My second FB fic but my first sequel…Once again, the narration may switch often…I will name pairings as they come up in every chapter as an attempt to not ruin some of the mystery. As of right now the only pairings are: Kyo+Tohru. Oh! As always with me, characters may end up being OOC.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Fruits Basket characters.
Title: Chaos Returns
Chapter 1: Surprises
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tohru hummed to herself as she fixed breakfast and thought about what she had planned for everyone. 'I hope all of them can come…I wonder if I should work up the nerve to invite Akito…? No. Then no one would have any fun…everyone would just have their eyes on him.'
It had been two months since everything went back to normal…well sort of. Tohru and Kyo were happy—and close. Yuki had finally got over losing Tohru to Kyo, though he still couldn't look either in the eye. He also seemed to close up a lot. He's had some secret that he's kept from the whole household. Shigure hasn't changed much…the only difference is that he goes out of his way to be extra nice to Tohru—he never even once tried to tease her and Kyo…Of course, he's teased Kyo whenever she wasn't around though. He still feels guilty about keeping that information from her.
"Thank you very much!" Tohru said as she went back to finish up breakfast. Shigure turned and headed for the phone. He picked it up and dialed a familiar number.
"Hello, Ha san?….No! Wait! Don't hang up!…Yes, I'll be serious…Tohru asked me to ask you if you could contact all the juunishi and see if they could come over for lunch. She has something special planed and she won't tell, but my guess would be a pic—what?…oh…Sorry, anyways! She wants all of the juunshi to attend—including you, so try not to disappoint her too much ok?…Thanks!" he hung up the phone only to hear Tohru call out,
"Breakfast is ready! Kyo! Yuki! Come down already or Shigure will eat your share again!"
Shigure looked at her with fake shock then he put on a hurt face,
"Tohru! I only did that once—and not to mention that I wasn't quite myself…"
"Yes and I'm sure you'll never get drunk like that again after what they did to you…But it is also a good motivation for them to get up too."
She smiled at him and went to get the rest of the food while he whined a little more as he sat down at the table. He shuttered at remembering how mad the two had been at him that morning…It hadn't even been his fault. Ayame was the one who spiked his drink…with something very odorless…
*YAWN* Yuki slowly came down the stairs and sat down. His hair was still messy but at least he got fully dressed this time. The morning after IT left, he had been so tired that he came down in just his underwear…He had been pretty embarrassed—especially since there had been company. Now he was very self-conscious about that—no matter how tired he was.
"Where's Kyo?" Tohru asked when she realized the cat hadn't joined the table yet.
"He's probably out cold on the roof," said Shigure as he poked the seemingly half dead Yuki, whose head had fallen onto his empty plate.
"I'll go get him," she said as she headed for the stairs. When she peeked on to the roof, sure enough, Kyo was sleeping not too far away from the ladder. She shook his shoulder in an attempt to wake him up.
Kyo suddenly felt an earthquake in his dark world of sleep and he slowly opened his eyes to the bright sunshine and soon he focused on what had been shaking him.
"T-tohru?" he sat up quickly wondering if anything was wrong.
"Your breakfast is getting cold…"
"Oh, shit! Did I sleep in again!? I'm sorry Tohru!" he quickly got up and then said, "Let's go eat before those two down stairs take all the good hot food." He flushed a little when she just smiled at him and grabbed his hand, leading him downstairs. 'She's been so happy ever since IT left…We've all been a little brighter about our everyday problems since they're nothing compared to what happened to us because of IT. Though, Yuki's been hiding something…I've seen him sneak out of the house late at night and he doesn't come back until almost dawn—that's why he's been more tired than usual…I wonder what he's hiding? He…could be sleepwalking, I suppose…."
"Kyo!" he was snapped out of his thoughts by Tohru's voice. He began to wonder how long he had dazed off…everyone else had left the table and Tohru had cleaned up his plate right under his nose with out him noticing…
"Kyo! Could you answer the door please!?"
"Yeah! I got it!" he opened the door and was slammed into the floor as he heard,
"Tooohhhrruuu! WAAAAAHHHH!!!—Huh?"
Kyo opened his eyes as the voice stopped short. His eyes widened as he realized who was on top of him,
"Ha-haru!?"
"No. Momiji, quit ruining the little good reputation I have and—that really doesn't look nice when you're in MY body!"
Kyo looked over to see an angry Momiji leaning against the doorway with his arms crossed and his eyes shut.
"Oh…my…g—will you get off of me already!?"
"But KYO KUUUUN!!"
