Desperate measures (one shot fic)

"I won't lose!" Motoko said full of joy. "What do you mean kaichou!" Mio asked. Minagawa Motoko had been smiling all day. "I will graduate soon. That means desperate measures!" "What are you talking about Motoko senpai!?" Minami was really confused and Motoko just kept smiling to herself. "I have to go now girls! See you tomorrow!" And Motoko left them standing without explaining herself.

Aida Rika had been waiting for Motoko. She trained Motoko in the 'art' of opening locks, but was curious about why Motoko was so desperate about learning. "Oi, Motoko! Why did you want to learn so bad? Planning on breaking somewhere? You know I can help you." Motoko looked suspiciously at Rika. "No Rika-san. This is something in which I won't be involving any of you." Rika looked worried. "I hope you are not doing something really stupid." Motoko reassured her. "Don't worry about it Rika-san! See you tomorrow!"

Minagawa Motoko went to the school's computer lab. Someone was expecting her there, someone she hadn't been introduced to. She had only heard of him and his hacking abilities. His name was Kawanami Taka. She had talked to him on the phone and arranged their meeting. "Right on time!" said Taka. "I already hacked into the school's files." He pointed towards the monitor. "Here you have it. The students' addresses, although I have no idea why you want that." "It's none of your business!" Blurted Motoko nervously and then softened. "I mean... It's a private issue Taka... kun." The boy smiled at her and stood up so that she could get the address she desperately wanted. She found the name she was looking for very quickly. She had that name engraved in her heart: Sohma Yuki. She didn't even bothered to write down the address. She memorized it. Whatever was related to Yuki she had to know by heart. She was already walking out of the computer lab when she suddenly decided to ask Taka a question. "Taka-kun, how is it that you are alone in here?" Taka smiled again. "I have the key. I tutor students in the use of computers, but don't worry. No one knows why you came and what you wanted. Also I cannot tell because that would mean saying that I hacked into the school files." Motoko was feeling better already and left. She had a plan and she thought that plan would lead her to fulfill her deepest desire: getting Yuki.

It was 11:45 PM. Minagawa Motoko was completely dressed in black looking like some crappy movie ninja. She had been waiting for all the lights to go out and that had happened 15 minutes ago, but she still had to wait a little longer. The orange top that called himself Yuki's cousin was still on the roof. Five more minutes passed and the orange haired boy entered the house through a window. Motoko relaxed and waited five minutes more, then ran silently towards the entrance mentally saying a mantra to herself: 'Bedrooms are always on the second floor, bedrooms are always on the second floor,...' She opened the front door and was surprised at how easily it actually opened. Her only fear was if there was a chain lock, but there was none. She immediately turned on her mini flashlight and removed her shoes. She had to be very careful and above all, extremely quiet. Motoko was almost trembling going up the stairs. She went towards one of the doors to her right and opened it, almost gasping. Fate had to be on her side. It was the prince's room. It couldn't be luck. It had to be fate. This was fated to happen. It was her destiny.

She turned off the flashlight and waited until her eyes adapted to the darkness. The moonlight made Yuki's beautiful face look like an angel's. Motoko's legs trembled. She felt that Yuki was a forbidden angel. She suddenly couldn't get any closer, but regained her confidence. She approached the sleeping 'prince'. His fair skin looked so beautiful glistening under the pale moonlight. She was sweating, but it was due to her black attire on a summer night. Minagawa licked her lips feeling really thirsty. She couldn't go down to the kitchen to get water. She was suddenly feeling very scared, but still got a little closer to the sleeping beauty. Her face was only inches away from his and she had a strong urge of kissing him. Minagawa couldn't hold back any longer and softly kissed him. Yuki stirred a little and continued sleeping peacefully. Motoko got on the bed beside him not believing that he didn't wake up. She wanted to embrace him and gently got her body under the covers. Not being able to restrain herself and trying to hug the 'prince' she fell on top of him.

Two screams were heard throughout the house. In less than a minute the light in Yuki's bedroom was turned on by Shigure and behind him were Kyou and Tohru. They were alarmed. Motoko froze and suddenly realized that Yuki had disappeared. "Where is he?" She asked shocked and suddenly saw something small moving under the covers. She lifted them and screamed terrified: "A RAT!!!!!!!! A HORRIBLE DIRTY RAT ON YUKI'S BED!!!!" Motoko fell off the bed screaming and the rat was approaching her. "Get away from me you ugly rodent! Someone kill it! KILL IT!" Rat Yuki undestood that Minagawa-senpai hadn't realized what had happened and so he ran out of the room. Following the rat's trail with her eyes Motoko suddenly saw Tohru standing at the door to Yuki's room with Kyou and a man she didn't know. "You witch! How come you are here?" Her eyes noticed Tohru's clothing, a nightgown. Motoko was now horrified.

"You hypnotized prince Yuki to get to sleep in his house, didn't you?" Motoko was pointing at Tohru. Shigure had to speak: "Actually Tohru-kun lives here. She helps us with the cleaning." Shigure smiled proudly. "That kuso nezumi, bringing girls to his room. It's sickening." Kyou seemed really annoyed. Tohru entered the room and looked worriedly at Motoko. "Minagawa-senpai, did you come to visit? Yuki-kun didn't tell me he had invited you to stay. If he had told me you could have stayed in my room..." Shigure started to laugh. "Tohru kun, Kyou-kun! It's obvious that she came uninvited! Don't you see how she is dressed?" Shigure then turned a little serious. "You broke into my house young lady! Were you trying to seduce poor Yuki?" His eyes glistened and he wasn't serious anymore. "Ah! L'amour! Makes you even try desperate measures to get what you want." Kyou was tired and angry. "Shut up you idiot!" And with that Kyou left towards his room not caring about what was going to happen next. Shigure then whispered to Tohru: "Check on Yuki. I think he is in your room." Tohru quickly understood. "Hai Shigure-san!" Shigure then escorted Motoko to the front door and watched her put on her shoes. He had to ask a certain question before letting her leave. "Did you see anything out of the ordinary?" Motoko yelled: "OF COURSE I SAW SOMETHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY! PRINCE YUKI SLEEPS WITH A PET RAT! AND TO TOP IT ALL, THAT HONDA WITCH LIVES HERE!" Shigure was relieved. The girl hadn't noticed the truth behind the rat in Yuki's room. She hadn't even noticed that Yuki's pijamas had been between the covers too. "Well, go home young lady. Your parents must be worried. And please don't break into my house again without my permission." Minagawa Motoko was now embarrassed and ran as fast as she could without even saying she was sorry.

Shigure went up the stairs and noticed Tohru trembling in front of her room. "Tohru-kun, what's wrong?" She almost couldn't speak. "In... Saw... Naked..." Shigure rapidly understood and went into Yuki's room and fetched Yuki's pjs with a grin plastered on his face. "Tohru-kun, you can give him his clothes and then you won't have a naked boy in your room. Although it is not such a bad thing, is it?" Shigure winked at her and went to his own room closing the door behind him. Tohru felt her face growing really hot and she opened her bedroom door a little trying to give Yuki his pijamas without seeing his naked body again, but to her 'bad luck' he had been about to open the door himself and flung it completely open dragging Tohru inside. Tohru fell on her stomach and her eyes went upwards seeing everything again. She screamed and slammed her face on the floor embarrassed. Yuki quickly put on his pjs and kneeled in front of her. "Honda-san, are you alright? Will you be okay?" She nodded still not being able to face him. "I'm going back to my room then, Honda-san. We can... talk in the morning. Try to sleep." After Yuki had gone Tohru stood up and went towards her bed walking almost in a zombie state. She wasn't sure if she was going to be able to sleep.

Motoko was at her home already. She couldn't understand the last events, but she did learn a few things. She learned that Yuki is extremely quick. After all he fled from his room without her even realizing it. The 2nd fact was harder to accept. Yuki not only has a pet rat, but he also sleeps with it. How unprince like to share a bed with a rat. But the 3rd fact was the worst. Honda Tohru is living in prince Yuki's house. The witch seemed to have won, but no. Motoko would never give up. She was going to fight for prince Yuki's sake. She was going to free him from the witch's grasp. Motoko had plans for an emergency meeting of the Prince Yuki fan club. The next day was going to be a long day.
