Aaya's Monday!

Finally I'm updating! It's been a while since I've updated this story, so I'll give you an extra-awesome chapter for your patience.

-h-o-o-t-o-o-s-o-f-d-o-o-m-

Beeeeeep.

A pale hand snaked out from between the bedsheets and smacked the sleep button repeatedly. "Ugh," Ayame, the owner of the hand, sighed tiredly. "Seven already? I must be getting old."

He tried without success to go back to bed, gave up ten minutes later, and hauled himself out of his fabric cocoon to the bathroom. He splooshed some cold water on his face, then looked up at the mirror, blinking doggedly. "Hmmmm…" he mumbled, iridescent greenish-yellow eyes looking back at him.

He picked out a reasonably fantastic robe from his expansive closet, fixed his hair in a tight ponytail, then set out to his shop, where Mine was waiting.

"Aaya-san!" she chirped happily, opening the door as Ayame swept in gracefully.

"My dear Mine-kun. How are you this fine morning that the gods have blessed with the sun's presence?"

"Fine, sir!"

"Great. Now, mon cherie, let us begin to design our wares!"

The dynamic duo rolled out bolts of cloth and half-sewn dresses pinned on mannequins. With the accompaniment of a pot of tea, they began to work, stopping occasionally to help their customers.

Aaya's cell phone rang. "Hello, Ayame Sohma, purveyor of all amazing costumes and fantastic fabrics speaking!"

"Haru's gone Black again."

"Oh, my dear Yuki! Has he destroyed anything? Oh, what shall I do to free mon petit frere from such a HORRIBLE person!?!"

"Bring me…" Yuki cringed, knowing that his next statement would be told to Shigure, Hatori, and any other member of the zodiac unlucky enough to run into Aaya. "Bring me…a dress."

Aaya gasped dramatically. "Yuki! Are you…"

"No."

"Okay. Good. Then I shall be coming forthwith to ease my dear brother's pain and aid him in his quest of taming the evil Hatsuharu!!" And with that flamboyant statement, Aaya was off.

-h-a-r-u-w-a-s-o-k-o-n-i-k-i-t-e-i-t-a-

"Zark off, you scuzzball!" yelled Kyo, jumping away from one of Haru's back kicks.

"Um, no. How about I win, and you run off with your little tail between your legs, you pathetic excuse for a kitten!" Haru taunted, spinning around.

"RAWR!!!"

Ayame ran up, the precious dress in a dry-cleaners bag. "YUKI!"

"Thanks." the rat replied, taking the proffered bundle and changing into the dress behind a bush.

Kyo thwacked Haru with a hard roundhouse kick that sent the cow on his butt. "Ow."

"Ha! There's more where that came from!"

And that's when Yuki walked out from behind the bush. "Haru…"

All the boys in the surrounding area got nosebleeds. All the girls in the surrounding area fainted from delight.

Haru was struck speechless. "Yu- Yu-Yuki?"

The dress Ayame had picked out was a pink and white bridal-style gown, complete with faux silk roses and frills galore. It also featured a fitted corset that squished Yuki until he had difficulty breathing. "Owwww…" he whimpered among the bows and ruffles.

Haru had a nosebleed now, along with most of the fanboys.

"Wow." breathed Kyo, acting very OOC even though he wasn't supposed to.

"YUKI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU LOOK FANTASTIC!!!!" yelled the snake, snapping picture after picture with a camera in each hand.

"Get me out of this dress."

"B-but…"

"Butts? Where?"

"Zark off, Manabe!"

"I mean it, Aaya!"

"You look so fantastically beautiful!"

Sweatdrop. "Um…that's not a good thing. Put it on Kyo if you must."

"No. No effing way am I gonna wear that."

"Pease?!"

"No."

So Aaya took the dress off of Yuki and ran back to the shop with his cameras. "MINE-KUUUUUN!!!!!!"

"Hai!"

"Checkitout. Pictures of our beloved Yuki-san wearing the finest dress that fitted him!"

"He looks GORGEOUS!" yelled Mine, jumping on a couch.

"I know." Suddenly a tiny buzzer rang. "Oh," Aaya mumbled, turning his watch alarm off. "It's time for me to go help Shi-san move some books. I'll be back soon, Mine!"

"Seeya, boss!"

-d-i-n-o-s-a-u-r-s-k-i-c-k-b-u-t-t-

"High school girls…high school girls, live in person high school girls…" sang Shigure, balancing on a chair with a book in each hand.

"Yo!" yipped Aaya, stalking in like he owned the place. "You haven't been cheating on me, my little Shigure…"

"How could I cheat with someone like you, my delicious cream puff?"

"ALL RIGHT!" they chorused, making Tohru spill tofu juice all over the kitchen.

"So what are we doing?" asked the snake, staring at the dozens of empty boxes littered around the house.

"We're moving books," answered Shigure, sliding a small paperback into one of the shelves.

"I see."

"AAYA!!!!!!!!!!!"

"MOMIJI!!!! GUTEN TAG!!!!" Aaya yelled back, squishing the rabbit into a bone-crushing hug. "How ARE you?!"

"I'm okay. Kinda," answered Momiji, extricating himself from the hug. "Ow…"

Aaya gasped. "Did I squish too hard!?!"

"A little."

"I'm sorry!!!"

"It's okay."

Suddenly Tohru tripped in and turned them all into animals. Yes, Yuki and Kyo and Haru were there too. They just didn't talk because Aaya freaked them out too much. Back to the story.

"Crap." swore Kyo, his fur standing on end.

"Momiji!!! Your ears are so soft!!!" yipped Aaya, slithering his way over to Shigure. "Shi- saaan!!"

"What?"

"SHI-SAAAAANNN!!!!!"

"Shut up, nii-san."

Poof.

"EEEP!"

Once the juunishi had gotten their clothes on, Momiji did a dance that made them stare at him for several minutes afterwards.

"Two steeeep…"

"Shut up."

Hatori was called to drag Aaya out of the room, which he did amongst the snake's pathetic cries of "We were having so much fun!!"

"I don't care."

"NOOOOOooooooooooooo…"

-r-u-p-t-u-r-e-d-e-l-e-p-h-a-n-t-s-o-f-d-o-o-m-

Mine folded up the last bit of fabric and surveyed her handiwork proudly. "Hmmm…I think I could add another ruffle here…but it's too much. I'll leave it."

"Mine!!!! I'm BAAACK!!!!" shrieked Ayame, waltzing in blissfully.

"Hey, boss!"

"Didja finish the…" he started, but stopped at the sight of Mine's creation. "Oh. My. Akito."

Mine had created the most amazing dress he'd ever seen. A magnificent train dragged behind it, sparkling with the millions of sequins sewn on the fabric. The sequins made the entire dress look like a glittering snake skin. A red sash cinched the waistline tightly, and around the neckline Mine had painstakingly embroidered a snake.

Aaya was struck speechless for once in his life. "M…m…Mine…That's…marvelous…amazing…"

"It's for you, boss!"

"To wear?!"

Mine grinned. "For you to put on Yuki-kun."

Aaya smiled widely. "I like your sense of humor."

-i-m-u-s-t-p-r-o-c-u-r-e-a-l-i-b-a-t-i-o-n-

Aaya scarfed down the bento he'd bought for supper, got into his pyjamas, and got into bed with Yuki's uniform and his embroidering supplies.

"Hmm…what shall I embroider on his shirt? 'I luv Tohru 4evah?'Or… 'Kyo's hair is oh so soft?'"

Eventually he decided on a phrase and carefully sewed it into the back panel of the shirt. Grinning, he surveyed his work. "My nii-san is incredibly, amazingly, fantastically awesome. Is yours?"

-f-i-n-i-s-

Hurray for Aaya. Ritsu and Haru are the next two being posted. Review, please, and give me ideas of ideaness…

That's not even a word. Ah well.

Rin's turn is gonna be the hardest one to do. I can't do angst in this fic! Tis against the rules! Gasp!!

Flames are okay. Just try not to swear too much, or I may retaliate with a flame of my own. Muahaha.

In case you're wondering about the breaks, "Haru wa sokoni kite ita" means "Spring is here." I got it off of the Dnangel theme song. Yay!

-blake the psycho fangirl.
