Chapter 1

"Hey, get out of my way" Damn rat. Kyo Sohma muttered as he pushed past a tall silver haired youth, dragging behind him a small black rucksack, from which a water bottle peeked. He was, as per usual, in a foul mood, and it was infectious. Even Shigure seemed a little more... distracted...And this had been his idea.. Yuki resisted winding Kyo up further, knowing exactly how to drive the cat boy to the edge of extreme anger.

But for some reason, today he lacked the energy to get into an argument with the orange haired boy.

"Oh, um Shigure-san!" A pretty, dark haired girl stepped delicately through from the kitchen. "Will we be needing to take any food" Her hands were clasped politley behind her back. "Because I have some room in my bag if you need some!"

A tall man, dressed in an old fashioned kimono petted her on the head. "Don't worry Tohru-kun! He said, merrily. "I've got every thing I need for us to enjoy our little trip to the beach." He turned his head towards the front door, at Kyo, who was still dragging stuff into the car. "Kyo have you put everthing in the car? Yuki's stuff won't load itself you know." There was a crash as Kyo threw something to the ground, and another followed as Yuki sent him flying.

"Don't throw my stuff. Stupid Cat" His purple eyes had narrowed with that same disgust he got every time he had a 'fight' with Kyo. Inside the dark car, Hatori was slumped over the steering wheel, looking rather fed up. No doubt the prospect of returning to the Sohma summer home held no excitement for him. Especially after what had happened last year... He didn't want to have to treat anyone for injuries this time.

"Well are we done?" Shigure shuffled out to the porch as Kyo dusted himself off, pretending that nothing had happened. Yuki was leaning against the car, inspecting his nails with evident un-intrest. "Ah- but where's Tohru?" She appeared to have vanished from sight.

"Ah- just coming!" The girl had run upstairs, and returned with a photo frame, clutching it close to her chest. "Okay I'm ready to go!" Shigure nodded, and gestured to the waiting car.

"Shall we go then?" Tohru nodded and clambered in (Yuki had opened the door and held it open upon seeing her ready to go.) next to a sulking Kyo. Yuki slid in next to her, and smiled, lighting up his soft features. Shigure had got in the front, next to Hatori, who straightened himself out, looking more like the doctor everyone knew. The car started with a soft purr, and they were gone, speeding past the countryside towards the Sohma home.

For a moment everyone was silent, Kyo's stifled rage causing a little tension. He didn't want to be here. At a glare from Yuki, he scowled, folded his arms, and looked out the window, easing the atmosphere a little. Yuki turned his gaze to Tohru, who was sat quite happily between the two.

"So, Honda-san" He said, his voice very much gentle. "Haru and Momiji are joining us later?"

"Oh! Yes" She beamed. "They're coming this evening! (They said something about a taxi). And Kagura-chan is joining us tomorrow!"

"What!?" Kyo spun round, his face the image of anger. "Kagura's coming?"

"Yes, Stupid Cat." Yuki said calmly. "Weren't you listening. She said last night at dinner?"

Begin Flashback

"So Tohru-Kun, who's coming to the summer home exacly?" Shigure sat down opposite her, to Kyo's annyance, who ahd been quite happy on his own. She smiled, one of her infectious grins.

"Well, there's Momiji and Hatsuharu, Kisa and Hiro-san, Oh! And Kagura's coming as well!"

End of Flashback

"Don't get smart with me, you damn Rat!

"Maybe I wouldn't have to be if you had an ounce of intelligence" Yuki sniffed, propping one elbow on the black sill of the car and gazing out thoughtfully. Kyo seemed to struggle with himself for a minute then sagged. Just the thought of Kagura was enough to wear him out, and he slumped against the side of the car.

In the front, Shigure was having fun trying to make conversation with Hatori, who in turn was having difficulty driving with the constant annoyance of Shigure. His eyes were set in a determined glare behind his glasses, and he only spoke in short sentances,desperately trying to avoid distraction. Perhaps he was hoping Kyo or Yuki would realise and intervene, but alas they were both lost in thier own thoughts, so didn't notice.

An few hours later, despite the nerver ending nuisance that was Shigure, Hatori pulled up outside the Sohma summer home in one piece. Shigure, who had kept up the act of annoying Hatori the whole journey turned around to tell the others but stopped when he saw them, tugging at Hatori's sleeve.

"What?" Hatori's deep voice was unnervingly quiet in the car. Shigure pointed, and Hatori's stern face melted into a warm smile.

The three were a picture of innocence. All three of them had fallen asleep, Tohru's head slumped on Kyo's shoulder, Yuki's on Tohru's, so that he was almost leaning into her, but not quite (it would have been quite embarassing for him to have transformed in the car).

"Should we wake them up" Shigure was, for once in his life, serious. "It would be a shame. It's not often we get to see them all so peaceful." Hatori snorted quietly, and turned the ingnition off.

"It does make a nice change to thier usual antics."

"Not that we were any better as kids" Sigure said pointedly, and Hatori almost laughed.

"You mean you. You and Ayame weren't any better as kids." He took the keys out, and pocketed them.

"Now now Ha'ri, you had your moments." Hatori said nothing but privately wondered what 'moments' Shigure was on about. Logic told him to dispute it might dredge up something he didn't want to know. Hatori leant back in his seat and Shigure opened the car door with a click.

"We should go get a blanket or something for them!" He suggested, a beam on his face that could have given the sun a run for it's money. "After all that's what Tohru-kun would do for us!" Hatori inclined his head in acknowledgement, but remained in the car while Shigure went to go get a duvet or something. There was a loud 'clunk' as the boot opened, followed by a rustling as Shigure rummaged through the contents of what they'd brought. He returned about five minutes later, and somehow managed to cover all three of them without stirring any of them.

"Will they be alright here on thier own" Hatori queried as he clambered out of the car. "Or should one of use hang around?"

"They'll be fine" Shigure said "We'll just leave them to it..." Shigure was thoughtful for a moment, an almost unreadable expression on his face. Hatori sighed, as they walked up to the house, and unlocked the front door.

"Shigure." He said, that familiar 'there's a lecture coming up' tone in his voice. "What are you up too?"

The Dog feigned innocence."Ha'ri how could you accuse me of such plotting? I'm hurt that you would think so badly of me." At a dirty look from the Doctor he sobered up. "But seriously, it's nothing. I just thought it'd be nice for them to spend the time together. Before Graduation." Hatori's eyes widened with sudden understanding, and he nodded.

"I see. Of course, I should have realised, this is thier last summer... before..."

It was Shigures turn to nod. "So I thought I'd treat them all to a nice summer together."

Hatori put his hands in his pockets and looked at the sleeping figures in the car, a soft smile lightening his face, "Well in that case I'm sorry for doubting you". Shigure laughed, and followed his gaze, a gentle smile on his face too.

May the Summer pass without incident.
