Morning Fights and Midnoon Contests- Chapter 1
"Get lost, ya filthy rat!"
Kyo Sohma's not so dulcet tones could be heard clearly through the morning.
"Make me, Baka Neko"
Yuki Sohma's slightly more calm voice could also be heard.
"Grrrrr…Fine ya stupid rat!! I'll make your wish come true -"a vein popped on Kyo's head (Author's Note: He's a FAIRY GODMOTHER!:D)
"Don't call me stupid, stupid."
'DON'T CALL ME STUPID!!!"
"-Ahh! Please, don't fight again, guys, please? Guys?!" Tohru Honda came rushing into the scene. The boys stopped arguing at the sight of her distress, but each still kept his hands on the other's neck, a look of pure loathing in their eyes.
"I know just how to sort this out!" Momiji Sohma enters the scene with an inane grin on his face, finger pointed in the air.
They all stared in silence at Momiji until Kyo spoke up:
"How did YOU get in here??!!"
Everyone turned to Kyo now, realising he was right…..for once. How DID Momiji get in there? (sweatdrops)
Momiji faltered slightly before starting up again, with twice the vigour!
"We need to have a competition! To decide…uh…..decide…..ummm….-"
Kyo persisted "THE DOOR WAS LOCKED!"
Everyone ignored him. (A/N: that's soooo sad! Author's Friend's Note: She's obsessed with Kyo. Author's Note: I AM NOT!!)
Hatsuharu suddenly appeared behind Tohru. (Author's insane note: Chiiickkkeeenn leeeeegggs )
"-who gets the steak dinner." And everyone turns to Haru because that's just soo wrong. (A/N: He's the COW!!)
Kyo turned around; "YOU TOO?! What is this, a HOTEL???!!!"
Tohru smiled ecstatically "Oh wow! That sounds like a lot of fun!!!"
Yuki sighed, "Fine, I'm in….."
"Fine, if the Rat's in, then I'm in. I'm gonna wipe the floor with your as-"
"Oh KYYYYYOOOOOOO!"
Kagura enters, kicking Kyo on the head.
"That's for never calling!" She hits him.
"And that's for never writing!" She hit him again.
"And THAT'S for never calling about writing about calling!" She hit him one last time, just for good measure.
"H-help …m-me…" Kyo lay twitching on the floor.
Kagura smiled, "So, what's going on?"
"We're having a contest!" Replied Momiji, "And every Sohma is included!"
Everyone stared at him.
"Hey, when were WE gonna hear about this??!" All the other Sohma's there exclaimed at once.
"It slipped my mind!" Momiji grinned.
Skip scene! (A/N: I'm lazy, grins)
"Erhm, erhm…." Tohru cleared her throat. "So now we have, Kyo, Yuki, Momiji and Haru!"
"HEEEELLLLLLOOOOO!!! I heard ALL about your Champion Steak Cup and therefore, I took the liberty of inviting……. EVERYBODY!!!!" Shigure smiled and the rest of the Sohma's walked in through the door…
"OH NO! WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH CHAIRS!!" And so Tohru ran off to get more chairs while Kyo eyed Shigure suspiciously. "How did you hear about this??" "A little birdie told me…" Shigure laughed nervously. "He was so eavesdropping." Haru muttered under his breath. "ME? EAVESDROP? HA! THE THOUGHT!" Shigure answered nervously back. (A/N: The others have giant anime sweat drops, just so you know).
"ANWAY, moving right along, erhm… We need JUDGES!! And due to my YEARS of experience in this world, I vote yours truly!" Shigure grinned evilly.
"That… grin… distresses me……" Yuki muttered.
"FEAR NOT, DEAR BROTHER! For I, Ayame Sohma, shall free you from your inner demons!!!!!!!!!!" Ayame attempted fruitlessly to hug Yuki who held at arms length saying "You're the demon here!!!!"
"Enter the idiot……" Kyo growled fiercely. Ayame chose to ignore that comment and continued howling after his sibling.
"But Yuki! I HAVE to be a judge. I HAVE to." came Shigure's whinging tones.
"BROTHER! My dear brother! Come, let us rejoice in my victory of being appointed judge with a luncheon with just me, you and of course, our dear princess Tohru!" (A/N: any guesses who THAT is?)
"What on earth is going on here?" Hatori walked through, slightly late but completely bewildered nonetheless.
"Tori!! So you have decided to come!! Hatori, tell them what my life long ambition is to be!!" Shigure pleaded to Hatori.
"Shigure, despite your futile attempts, I will NOT tell children what your sick, twisted, mind wants to do." Hatori droned.
"Eh? Ohhhhh! You mean THAT dream…. Heheh, Hatori, how COULD you think of THAT at a time like this??? I mean my dream of being a judge." Shigure answered, grinning once more.
"Judges? Wow, that would be WONDERFUL! I think you, Mr Hatori, and Ayame would make fabulous judges, Shigure!!!!" Tohru walked into the scene, stumbling from the weight of over 20 odd chairs. Kyo sighed, and walked over to help.
"See? I knew I could count on my beautiful flower's support through troubled times! How about I reward you with a nice date with the one and only, Shigu-" Shigure never finished that sentence for he was bashed on the head by both Yuki and Kyo, who's icy glare could have frozen hell over.
"So, Mr Hatori, Shigure and Ayame are judges now!" Tohru smiled blissfully, oblivious to the war raging behind her. Haru broke up the argument with a question that distracted all: "Anyone else joining?"
"I shall compete alongside my love and together, we shall win the steak and enjoy it with a date at dusk in the moonlight!!" Kagura squealed happily. Tohru laughed nervously at her words, but said nothing and proceeded handing out snacks. Kyo opened his mouth to say something but stopped in the wake of his pain from moments before.
"I shall repent my sins from this world by entering the legendary steak cup contest and fighting alongside my brother's for forgiveness!!!!" Ritsu cried out to Momiji, who was adding names to the list.
"Um….I would like to join in too…..if it's okay……" Kisa said shyly. Momiji smiled at her and added Kisa to his growing list. Hiro turned red and shook his head for a moment before speaking up:
"Hey! Rabbit boy! If Kisa's joining, then add my name too. Someone's gotta make sure she doesn't mess up!!"
"And that's it! Oh, and Tohru, what would you like to be???" Momiji asked Tohru, who replied "Ummm…..wellll……..it is a family thing, but I might join for some events…But don't worry! I'll cheer you guys on, and make you snacks too! Yes! I'll do my best!! Fight, Tohru, FIGHT!!"
"YAY!!!!! This is going to be FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Momiji squealed, delighted at all the people he had for his little competition.
"Oi, bunny boy. You haven't told us where or when to meet ya for your competition anyway." Kyo said, hitting Momiji up the back of his head.
"Oww!!! Kyo, that hurts!!!!! Oh, right, wait……ummmmmmm……………meet me at…………..the front of the Sohma estate for the first competition tomorrow at 12 noon!"
Momiji replied.
"And? What are we gonna haveta bring? What event IS it????" Kyo asked Momiji once again.
"I don't know!!" Momiji grinned.
Sushi Plum: And with that, we end this chapter of insaneness in The Saga of the Sohma Cup. It only gets crazier from here folks!
