He Can't Be Beat
Chapter One
Hatsuharu & Tohru
SURPRISE!
"Good morning, everyone~!" sang Shigure, walking into the kitchen, his usual grin on his face," Ah, my darling Tohru, it smells absolutely delicious in here! You never cease to amaze me," he shook his dark, shaggy head in mock amazement.
I bowed in appreciation,"Thank you, Shigure! I do try to do my best for you all!"
"And you are the best~! In fact, I-!" He held my shoulder, but was knocked suddenly down to the floor. "Mmhrrm.." He mumbled with implied pain.
Kyo stood above him, his brow furrowed in anger," What is wrong with you? Do I have to knock you out every day?"
Shigure flinched in fear at Kyo's deadly tone and chuckled nervously. He quickly rose up and hurried to the table, blue kimono flowing behind him and bare feet thudding noisily after him.
"Kyo?" I tilted my head," What did he do this time?" I sighed arranging the breakfast on the ceramic plates.
He stared at me for a moment, face stern and eyebrows straightened. He groaned," TOHRU...I really worry about you sometimes... Who knows what would happen to you without us..." He grumbled, heading out to join Shigure.
"What ever could he mean", I pondered?
"Good Morning, Tohru." Yuki gently greeted. "How are you today?"
"I'm good as always! Thanks for asking!" I smiled up at him. "How are you, Yuki?" I asked, concerned.
"I'm feeling better, probably because of the soup you made for me," He warmly laughed. "You may have invented the cure for the common cold."
I giggled along with him. He stepped closer ,"HEY! A-ARE YOU BRINGING THE FOOD OR WHAT?" An angry Kyo yelled, his eyes slitted and face set in a deep frown.
"Yes! Of course! I'm so sorry for making you wait! Very sorry!" I bowed again in attempt to receive forgiveness.
"Nhh...It's fine.." He mumbled, leaning against the doorway, still unhappily.
"Let me help you carry some of that," Yuki offered, very gentlemanly.
"That would be gr-!"
"NO!" Kyo interrupted. He paused and looked sheepish, but only for a moment,"I don' want you spreading your germs to everyone.." He grouched and motioned for him to leave," Out."
Yuki glared at the orange-topped boy and went on his way.
"Thank you so very much, Kyo! I-"
"Don't make a big deal out of it. You couldn't carry all of it at once and I'm starving," explained quickly and to the point. His auburn eyes softened. He muttered,"...I'm happy to help.." And he left as soon as he uttered the small sentence of kindness.
"I knew you we're secretly sweet.." I giggled smally to myself. I picked up the remaining dishes and joined the others.
"TOHRU!"
"MOMIJI?" I stuttered in surprise. "What are you doing here? I mean I'm glad you're here and all! Really glad, but I don't know if there's enough food and-"
"Hatsuharu and I came to stay for the whole break!" The small boy cheerfully stated.
"THE WHOLE BREAK? WHAT THE HECK FOR?" Kyo yelled, grabbing him by the back of his shirt.
Haru pushed Kyo aside and saved the boy from his tight grip. "Well, because everyone at the Mainhouse has come down with some kind of serious...illness. We're not really sure what it is.. Haori sent us here, before he had to tend to us also."
"And because we love it here!" Momiji practically yelled, flinging himself into me with a hug.
"Momiji!" I nearly dropped the meal, but luckily regained my composure. The familiar sound of a Souma transforming boomed through the room, and the bunny-boy clung to my leg.
"Momiji...let go.." A tired Yuki pleaded.
"I think it's a wonderful idea!" A giddy Shigure sounded.
Yuki and Kyo gave him unamused looks. I carefully placed our breakfast down and motioned for our two guests to join us. "If we run out, I can always cook more," I smiled.
"That won't be necessary.." Yuki shook his head.
"Yeah..They'll be fine," Kyo frowned, already piling various foods on his plate.
"Thank you for the offer though," Haru bowed and sat next to me and smiled warmly. His white hair shadowed his eyes and his cloak brushed my side. Kyo watched the two of us for minutes.
"I forgot it was summer.." I laughed at myself. "I'm sure this one will be a good one!"
Kyo hmphed, Shigure grinned stupidly and Yuki sighed," I hope so, Tohru."
It certainly should be an interesting summer with these two here!
"MOMIJI! THAT WAS MINE!" Kyo retrieved his plate.
"TOHRU! KYO'S BEING MEAN AGAIN!"
"Leave him alone, you stupid cat..."
"Why don't you make me, you big, dumb cow," Kyo spat, standing up defiantly.
"Kyo!" Yuki tried, but it was futile. Haru went black and all went as expected.
*CRASH*
"MY HOUSE!"
Oh no... I hope they can at least not kill each other this summer...
-Author's Note-
So, I've just now started a Fruits Basket craze. Watched all the anime and LOVED IT! and on chp 17 of the manga. My favorite is Kyo (and I hope he gets Tohru), but I can't help but like Haru (maybe because he has white and black hair haha). I love Shigure too! Hope this fanfic is liked! R & R
