"Oh...That's weird." Tohru Honda, class 2-D, said to her best friends, Arisa Uotani and Saki Hanajima.
"Hmm? Didja say somethin' Tohru?" Uo-chan, tough Yankee girl who loved her friends more than anything, asked lazily. It may have been the first day back at school, but that didn't mean she was going to get back to work.
"Oh, I see. This is most unusual." Hana-chan, a soft spoken, mysterious girl who had the ability to sense waves, replied softly, peering at her schedule. "We seem to have another class...'Family Management'."
"Huh?" Arisa bolted up; they now had her full attention. "Whaddya mean, 'Family Management?' As a class?"
"Yes, it would appear so." Hana-chan murmured, looking thoughtful. "Family Management...hmmm..."
"Oh, this might be fun!" Tohru replied, a smile on her face as always. "Maybe we get to manage a family!"
"Moron. Of course that's what we'll be doing!" Kyo Sohma walked up, the cat from the zodiac, hit her lightly on the head. "But I seriously doubt it's gonna be fun." Kyo continued, a frown once more on his face. They walked on, stopping only once they reached their classroom.
"Well, you never know." Yuki Sohma, the rat of the zodiac.
"I'm going to go ask Sensei what this is about!" Tohru said happily, skipping off, but suddenly stopping, her face falling. "Urk."
For there in front of them, was a huge crowd of people, surrounding the teacher's desk, yelling and shouting, angrily.
"Please! Just shut up!" Their teacher yelled back. "I'll answer your questions soon! Sit down!" Everyone ran for their seats. As people quieted down, Mayu sighed and started talking. "Now, yes, there is a class called Family Management, and yes, you ALL have to take it!" She growled at the protests starting. "How can you kids be so against this? You don't even know what it's about!" That effectivley stopped the grumblings for the moment. "Now. The way this class works out is that you each will be assinged a partner, and that person will be your husband or wife."
"Hey, does that means I can have a husband?" Manabe asked cheekily.
Ignoring him, she went on. " You and your spouse will be expected to overcome any hardships that come your way, and if you cannot...well then." Here she smiled devilishly. "You fail."
"What? Oh no!" the scared voices of the kids in the class echoed around.
"Oh no! Hana-chan, what if I can't work with my partner? What if I don't like them? What if they don't like me? What if--" Tohru's voice became shriller and shriller until it was suddenly cut off as Kyo put his hand in front of her mouth.
"Sheesh. Tohru, trust me. No one cannot like you." Kyo said. "Huh? Wait, don't make that into something it isn't!" He glared at the looks being passed around. "I DO NOT LIKE HER! NO FREAKEN' WAY!"
"Oh? What is that supposed to mean?" Hana-chan and Uo-chan replied glaring at him. "You don't mean to say that you don't like Tohru-kun at all?"
"Wha-? Whaddya mean, uh, what-" Kyo stuttered out.
"Oh come on. Tell us exactly what you think of Tohru-kun. Trust me, we don't mind." Uo-chan said sweetly. Unless of course, it turns out that you don't like her..."
"Uh, uh, uh," Kyo was in a dilemma. If he said he didn't like her, his head would be chopped off by Hana-chan and Arisa. If he said he liked her there would never be an end to the teasing. Luckily, he was saved be Mayu yelling out
"Class! Be quiet! You've got to pick your partners now!" Instantly there was a horde of girls surrounding Yuki, and even a group around Kyo. Mayu, seeing the kids in obvious distress, took pity on them and called out, "By picking names out of the hat!"
This automaticly set them off again, with girls crying that they may not get to be with Yuki. "Sheesh...kids today..." Once Mayu had gotten everyone to shut up, she said "They way this works, is that every girl will come up here and pick a name out of this hat. Whoever they pick will be their husband. Got it? Now girls line up here." Every time a girl picked out a name, everyone held their breath as the girl picking hoped it was Yuki, and they others prayed it wasn't. Eventually the line got smaller and smaller, and finally there were only five girls left in line. Machi, Tohru, Arisa, Saki and Motoko. Arisa walked up to the hat boldly, and picked a name out.
"Kohaku? (AN: i have no idea for names in manga so i just grab names from other stuff ive read...if anyone can give me a name, eternal thanks!) Who's that?" Arisa peered into the back of the class room, her eyes finally setteling down on a young man, with brown hair and black eyes. "Eh, he'll do." She walked over and sat down next to him.
Motoko walked up to the hat and plunged her hand in, knowing perfectly well who she would get. "WHAT? MANABE? This is an outrage! The head of the Prince Yuki fan club should definetly get to marry him! What is the meaning of this?" Motoko screamed. A cheerful Manabe grabbed her arm and dragged her back to his seat.
Then Tohru shyly walked up to the hat. She dipped her hand in and...
End of chapter 1
(Oh come on. Im not that evil.)
...drew out a name. She opened it slowly, looked at it and turned red. "Mrmble hmb rbm."
"Huh? Who did you say?" Mayu asked.
"Mrmble hmb rbm."
"Oh, speak up!" Mayu said irratated now.
"KYO-KUN!" She yelled, and covered her face in embarressment. Kyo turned bright red. Quite a few catcalls were heard in the class as Tohru walked to Kyo.
"Next!" Mayu called, sighing. Honestly...
Machi walked up, picked a name out of the hat, read it, and quietly went to sit next to Yuki. Of course, this caused quite a commotion. Girls were sobbing, Mokoto was yelling, Mayu was irratated, and through it all, Yuki and Machi sat there quietly waiting for the noise to stop. Mayu was angry now. She yelled at them for ten minutes, telling them that since they were in high school, they had better start acting like it. When Mayu finally stopped, Saki walked up to the hat and fished around. Then she drew her hand back and said "It seems there are no more names."
"What?" Mayu looked in the hat. "I guess not. Well, Hanajima, I suppose this shall be your first obstacle. No husband."
The bell rang, and everyone rushed out of their seats. Yuki, Tohru, Kyo, Saki and Arisa went outside to eat their lunch.
"Ooh, Tohru! Gonna have a fun time with Kyonkyon over here huh?" Arisa smiled as she poked fun at her best friend.
Tohru looked at Arisa confused as Kyo blushed. "OF COURSE NOT! YOU ALL HAVE DIRTY MINDS! GAH! WHAT'S THE POINT OF SITTING WITH YOU CREEPS OVER HERE ANYWAY? I'M OUTTA HERE!" Kyo yelled and started storming away.
"Wait Kyo-kun! Please don't go! We haven't eaten together in a long time! Please!" Tohru begged, unknowingly giving him puppy dog eyes.
"Gah! Whatever." Kyo sat down again, eating his food angrily.
Arisa stared at him astonished. "Jeez, it hasn't been half-an-hour since you two have been married and you're already whipped!
"WHAT? WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHIPPED? I'M NOT WHIPPED! I JUST DID WHAT SHE ASKED! HOW'S THAT WHIPPED? HUH? HUH?"
"Kyo-kun, can we get some ice cream? See, they're selling some over there!" Tohru said exitedly.
"Yeah, sure whatever." Kyo replied moodily.
"Yup. He's whipped."
Heehee!!!! I love this idea! But I don't really know what else to do with this...it might just be a humor fic...nothing serious.
