Our Endless Banquet

This is a story of three teens, two seventeen and one sixteen years old who live together. Two of these people are under a curse. They are possessed by two of the twelve zodiacs. The other is a girl, one who has only cared for and watched over these two. She holds their hearts unconsciously along with others who have fallen for this kindhearted beauty. These are our heroes of this bittersweet yet heartwarming story.

There is a rat that is cunning and a true prince charming. His wide and honest amethyst eyes carefully watch over his beloved one, the one he fights and strives to win and cherish for the rest of eternity. His silver and violet hair gently brushes his eyes as the breeze or our heroine plays with it. He fights with the other hero for our heroine who watches from the sidelines not knowing the cause for their protective natures. He is truly her beloved prince charming.

The next one is the wise and abused cat, who has been betrayed and is beginning to open his eyes to emotions such as love with the help of the one he would give his life to. His liquid amber eyes watch her, always being her knight in shining armor. His long sunset orange hair brushes barley touches his eyebrows and the tip of his ears. The tall and slightly muscled body will stand over the heroine and protect her from every threat that comes her way.

And so we come to our lovely heroine, the sensitive and loving one of the group that the cat and rat protect and have devoted their lives to. Her mission is to break the curse of the thirteen cursed people, two being the cat and rat. Her sapphire eyes are innocent and shine with unbridled emotion as she watches the two heroes. Her long waist length milk chocolate hair softly ripples in the breeze as she runs to catch up with them. All she wants is for the cursed ones to be free and the cat and rat to be happy. But for her feelings shall grow and change as she watches and cares for our heroes. Eventually, though she doesn't know now, she will have to choose and make one of the most difficult decisions of her life.

So this is where our story begins, at their caretaker and guardian's house, the dog of the cursed ones. It is the beginning of their summer break before their last year of high school, our heroine; Honda Tohru is making breakfast as usual for the housemates, the dog, rat, and cat of the cursed ones when a crash is heard in the background . . .

"WHAT WAS THAT FOR YOU STUPID RAT?!?" An angry voice yelled.

"You tried to attack me; I was merely defending myself of course." The calm yet severe voice of the rat answered back.

"WHAT?!? ALL I DID WAS BUMP INTO YOU ON A-C-C-I-D-E-N-T!" the angry voice yelled back.

"Oh. Well my bad." The calm rat said to it.

"THAT'S ALL YOU SAY?!? UGH!" The voice yelled with a sigh.

"Why don't you calm down you idiot cat, Honda-san has made breakfast for us." The rat said as he walked into the kitchen and smiled a dazzling smile at Tohru who had turned away from her cooking as she heard them make their way down to the kitchen. She blushed and smiled back her trademark smile, bright and loving, it made his heart flutter and his stomach flip. She was wearing a light pink sundress that went to her knees with spaghetti straps that tied with a delicate darker pink bow on the shoulder. 'She has no idea what she does to me.' He thought.

"Good morning Miss Honda." He said after a few seconds. She just smiled wider, "Good morning Yuki-kun!  Breakfast will be done soon." She said and turned back to flip the pancakes and check on the omelets. He stared at her for a second until Kyo, the cat, came into the room and grabbed a milk carton from the fridge.

"Good morning Kyo-kun!" she said and smiled at him too. He turned to her after taking a swig and greeted her too. "Good morning Tohru, what's for breakfast?" he asked her. "Chocolate chip pancakes, cod fish oniguri (Kyo smiled at that, it was one of his favorites and Yuki frowned because of his detest for cod fish), and leek omelets (Yuki smiled at that, while Kyo frowned from his detest of leeks, 'She made my favorite' he thought). How does that sound?" she asked them.

"Wonderful" Yuki said.

"Great." Kyo said. She smiled lightly and then turned back to the food.

"Tohru-kun, oh Tohru-kun, is that your splendid food I smell? Oh it must be, my little flower." Shigure, their guardian and the dog, called as he entered the kitchen. Kyo and Yuki sighed.

"Oh Shigure, you're up. Good morning!" she said to him.

"Of course it is a good morning Tohru-kun, when anyone wakes up to the smell of your cooking and sees your lovely smile, precious dove." He said as Tohru smiled and blushed at the complement while Kyo and Yuki bashed Shigure over the head."PERVERT!" they yelled at him in unison.

"Owe! Tohru-kun, Kyo and Yuki are abusing me! Save me Tohru-kun, you know they listen to you!" he said and hid behind her. She flushed a delicate pink and looked at the boys.

"Please stop Yuki-kun, Kyo-Kun." She asked them. They immediately stopped advancing on him and sighed. "Perverted dog." They said in unison under their breath. Tohru sighed and shook her head as she turned off the stove and set the food on some plates.

"Breakfast is finished." She said and started to carry the plates into the dining room.

"Do you need any help?" Yuki asked her.

"Oh yes, could you please get out some plates and silverware? Thank you!" She said as she set the food on the table. Yuki nodded and went to help. She was content as Kyo took his usual spot to her right and Yuki to her left. Shigure sat across from her and they started to eat.

"So what are you three going to do today seeing as though it is the first day of your summer holidays? Ah summer, the season of blossoming love…maybe Tohru will accept to be my bride…OUCH!" Shigure said and held his head. A fuming Kyo and Yuki stood over him glaring as Tohru rushed over.

"Are you okay Shigure-san? That is two times this morning already!" she said and helped him up. He clung onto Tohru but careful not to hug her or risk transforming.

"I believe I shall be okay." Shigure said and collapsed on the table.

"AHHH Shigure-san!" Tohru yelled and went to fetch him an ice pack. Kyo and Yuki were left in the room still eating and silently cursing Shigure in their heads.

--^---- * ----^--

After things calmed down after breakfast Shigure went over to the three teens, Tohru was cleaning and giggling while Kyo and Yuki bickered over who would get the remote.

"So are you three packed for the summer house?" Shigure asked them. They stopped bickering and thought.

"Yes Shigure-san!" Tohru said with a silly grin on her face as she continued to clean the house.

"Yes." both Kyo and Yuki answered simultaneously and then glared at each other while Tohru laughed delicately and went over to the and sat between them then smiled at each of them.

"Aren't you excited Kyo-kun, Yuki-Kun," she asked as she grabbed each of their hands and looked at their faces as they blushed slightly, "Uo-chan, Hana-chan, Momiji-kun, Kisa-san, Hiro-chan, and even Haru-chan are coming too! I know this will be an amazing summer!" she said and squeezed their hands tightly as she smiled wider. They blushed a little more, still caught up in the fact that Tohru was holding their hands. 'So soft and warm…' Yuki thought. As Kyo thought, 'She is holding my hand! I can't believe that she is holding my hand!' Shigure chuckled softly at them.

"I will come over later to check in on you all, until then have fun, but don't do anything crude to my little flower!" he said, causing both Yuki and Kyo to pounce on him and loudly shout, "PERVERTED DOG!" Tohru shook her head as she went up the stairs to get her things down. Yuki and Kyo hurried after her, following her lead.

In a few minutes they had their stuff in the car, a black and red Sports car that Shigure lent them. Shigure handed the keys to Yuki, who he thought was the most responsible out of him and Kyo who had their driver's licenses. {Yeah, I know they don't have it in the manga but this is fiction so please go along with it please! Thank you ~ *Bleeding Love*} Yuki grasped the keys as Kyo glared at him from the side

"…and remember that trash day is Tuesday and don't miss your meeting with the publisher on next Thursday and GAH!" she said as Kyo pulled her towards the car and slung her into the middle seat of the car while he and Yuki slid into the car next to her. Yuki started the car and Tohru called out goodbyes to Shigure as they drove away, Shigure grinning like wild as they went. As soon as they were out of sight he pulled out his cell and called Ayame, Yuki's older brother to gossip.

--^---- * ----^--

Tohru's long chocolate hair whipped behind her as they drove on the long, deserted road. It would be a half a day of driving and so far there had been relatively no conversation as they drove. Soon the awkward silence got to Kyo and he flipped on the radio, turning it on to Paralyzer by Finger Eleven and settling into his seat, very slightly leaning against Tohru in the process. Yuki lifted his eyebrow, he didn't miss the fact that Kyo was snuggling into Tohru and decided to try and get back at him by turning the station to You Found Me by The Fray. Tohru looked puzzled but didn't say anything as she felt both of the boys lightly snuggle into her, relaxing. Kyo who got what he was doing and hated this song changed it back to Paralyzer and glared at Yuki out of the corner of his eye then went back to leaning on Tohru. Yuki changed it back to The Fray and leaned back into Tohru who was confused and blushing slightly as they kept on doing this ten more times until Kyo finally tried to speak. He got off of Tohru and glared at Yuki who looked back at him out of the corner of his eye. Before he could say anything Tohru sneezed catching their attention and making them jump with Yuki never moving from the middle of the lane.

"Bless you Miss Honda." Yuki said and handed her a tissue from the tray which she mumbled a soft thank you for and took it.

"So what are you changing the station for, stupid mouse?" Kyo asked him angrily. Yuki glared at him quickly and then turned his attention back to road and then replied.

"No one wants to listen to that crap, so why torture us with it?" Yuki replied. {Don't get me wrong I love these songs soooo much, I have them on my iPod and thought they would be good songs to put here and if you haven't heard them. Go to YouTube and do so. Amazing! ~ *Bleeding Love*}

"Guys…" Tohru started when they heard a honking behind them. Looking in the rear view mirror Tohru gasped as Uo-chan and Hana-chan drove up next to them.

"Hello Tohru, Prince, Orangie." Uo-chan said as Kyo glared at her. Both Yuki and Uo-chan stopped their cars as Tohru ran out and hugged her friends. Yuki and Kyo watched as they pulled apart and started talking.

"So Tohru, what was going on over there? I thought that Kyo was about to punch the Prince for a second there." Uo-chan asked.

"I was." Kyo called from behind as Uo ignored him.

"They were arguing over the radio." Tohru answered her friend perfectly honestly not getting why she glared at them.

"You bakas! What if Yuki crashed or got Tohru hurt? Ugh that's it, Tohru get in our car. We are taking you to the Sohma summer home, not that rat or cat" she said and took Tohru's hand as she dragged her to the backseat of the car. {They found out when Uo accidently hugged Kyo}

"Uh, what about my stuff? She asked innocently as Hana buckled her in.

"They will bring it." She said and looked at them, using her waves to keep them away as they kidnapped her and make sure they would do so. After they nodded Hana got into the passenger's seat as Uo got into the drivers and turned on the car, On/OFF was playing in their car as they speed away, Tohru waving at them as they did, her hair whipping around her in the wind of the hoodless red beetle. Staring at the car as it drove away, mouths open and in shock as Tohru speed away from them they went back into the car, silently kicking their own asses in their heads as they speed after them to the summer house and Tohru…
