Hopeless Chapter 4- Hiro's Met His Match
"What the hell are you doing here?" Kyo asked annoyed.
In the living room along with Tohru, Yuki, Shigure, Kyo, and Sayora, was Hiro.
"I heard that there was some other Jyuunishi in the family and that she was living with you guys, so I thought that I would come and see who she was," Hiro answered. "But it was only some woman who was forgotten for no reason."
"Hiro, don't say things that aren't true!" Yuki ordered. "And besides, you've met her before. Five years ago at the New Years party, remember?"
"Yeah," Sayora agreed. "And you weren't half as bratty as you are now. Tohru-san, you've already met Hiro-kun, right?"
"Oh, yes! We met before. He's really nice!" Tohru said.
Shigure, Yuki, Kyo, and Sayora nearly spit out their morning tea.
"Nice!" they shouted at the same time.
"Don't forget that that little brat took your mother's picture when you first met him!" Kyo reminded.
"He what!" Sayora asked. "Why you snotty little!"
"Ah! It's okay, really!" Tohru defended. "I got it back, so it's okay!"
"You're too forgiving," Hiro said as everyone mentally sighed. "If I took your money, would you say it's okay? If I took your things, would you say it's okay? If I took away Yuki and Kyo from you, would you say it's okay?"
"What's that supposed to mean!" Kyo and Yuki shouted at Hiro.
"If you never took her mother's picture, would she have to say that it's okay? If you don't take her money and her things, would there be any point in saying that it's okay? If you're not going to take Kyo and Yuki away from her, why would you even bring it up in the first place?" Sayora asked.
Hiro kept his mouth shut and looked angrily at Sayora. Shigure, Kyo, Yuki, and even Tohru were amazed. There was actually someone who could shut the little brat up.
"Well, since he's over, you all might as well go do something together," Shigure said.
"What can we do with him over?" Kyo asked. "He'll complain about everything."
"Well… I heard that there is a new amusement park that just opened," Shigure said.
"Amusement park?" Sayora, Kyo, and Yuki said at the same time, twitching at their last experience at the carnival.
"Is something wrong?" Shigure asked, unaware about what had happened before.
Of course there's something wrong! Yuki, Kyo, and Sayora thought.
-----Flashback-----
The roller coaster continued going, taking Kyo and Sayora along with it and leaving Yuki where he was at least a hundred feet in the air.
She forgot to fasten her seat belt and came flying out of her car and plunged into Kyo's car.
Sayora was on top of Kyo while Tohru was on top of Momiji in his Jyuunishi form.
Tohru was on top of a cow.
The Soumas eyes widened at the huge crowd running straight at them.
-----End Flashback-----
We were lucky not to get locked up in cages last time… they thought.
Tohru looked a bit nervous, also thinking about the carnival.
"Do you all hate the amusement park or something?" Shigure asked, seeing their expressions.
"No… it's not that…" Sayora replied, trying to stop the twitching. "…Musement Park sounds great…"
"Is it because Hiro is going along?" Shigure asked again.
That's the least of our worries… the three of them thought.
"I know! Let's invite Haa-kun and Momiji-kun to come along!" Shigure suggested, causing them to twitch even more. "I'll even come along! It'll be fun!"
Sayora looked at Hiro who was unusually quiet. He looked like he wanted to say something. Then Sayora remembered. Hiro probably wanted to invite her along.
"Hiro-kun," Sayora called. "Want to invite Kisa-chan?"
"What?" Hiro asked, trying not to blush a bit.
"Kisa-chan!" Tohru exclaimed in joy. "That would be wonderful!"
"Well?" Sayora asked Hiro again.
"W-whatever!" he answered, pretending not to care.
"Well then, let's go get them!" Shigure said cheerfully.
-----At the Amusement-----
"Which ride shall we go on first?" Shigure asked.
"Kisa-san, is there a ride that you would like to go on first?" Tohru asked her sweetly.
"Um… I think I want to go on the Anaconda first," she answered after a while.
Everyone looked at the roller coaster that Kisa was pointing to. Yuki, Kyo, Hatsuharu, and Sayora looked at Tohru nervously out of the corner of their eyes. Momiji apparently, seemed to have forgotten what had happened the last time that Tohru was on a roller coaster, and the drops on that roller coaster weren't half as high as the one on the Anaconda.
"Okay!" Tohru said confidently. "Let's go on the Anaconda! It'll… be… lots… of… fun…!" Tohru stuttered out the last part, trying not to sound nervous.
Tohru walked stiffly over to the line with the others following her.
-----Anaconda-----
It was their turn to ride the roller coaster.
"Would you like to sit with me?" Tohru asked Kisa who nodded happily in response.
At the very back of the roller coaster were Hiro and Sayora. In front of them was Kyo and Momiji; then Tohru and Kisa; then Haru and Yuki. Shigure assured everyone that he would be fine sitting by himself… and next to a random young lady. Tohru had clung onto Kisa during the entire ride. Kisa didn't seem to mind though. Momiji was shouting "yay" the whole time while Kyo just sat there as did Haru, Yuki, and Sayora. Hiro sat stiffly, not yelling a bit. Everyone jerked back when the roller coaster abruptly stopped right before a fifty foot drop.
"Waaaaaahhhhhhh!" Tohru screamed, squeezing Kisa to death.
The Anaconda didn't move. Everyone began to worry a bit. Sayora was looking down, getting nervous. She loved high places… except when she was stuck to some contraption that could kill them all if it fell. Hiro was trying not to show his nervousness and tried not to panic. Everyone else began to panic.
"Oh great!" Kyo complained. "Are we stUUUUUCK!" he shouted the last part when the roller coaster zoomed down the drop without warning.
-----After the Ride-----
Tohru had swirly eyes. Kyo and Sayora were wide-eyed, with their hair stuck in all different directions, literally. Everyone else was just plain shocked. Hiro was trying to act as if the drop was nothing.
"That scared me half to death," Kyo said worn out.
"Man, that drop was so high, and that thing just zoomed down it three hundred miles per hour," Sayora said, just as worn out as Kyo. "That was scary…"
"It was just a roller coaster," Hiro started. "If you went on a merry-go-round, would you say it's scary? If you ran down a hill, would you say it's scary? If you rode in a car, would you say it's scary?"
"If it was just a roller coaster, then would you have had that terrified expression when the roller coaster stopped moving?" Sayora countered. "If it was just a roller coaster, then would you have screamed at the top of your lungs when that thing jetted itself down the drop? If it was just a roller coaster, then would you have to be out of breath more than anyone else here? And would you be shaking more than an earthquake would?"
Everyone looked at Hiro. Sayora was right. Hiro was out of breath, and he was trembling even though he tried to hide it. Kisa giggled at him.
"Shut up!" Hiro shouted. "If you're so brave, then why were you screaming at the top of your lungs!"
"Didn't I say that it was scary?" she asked.
"Ahhhhhh," Shigure interrupted. "Shall we go on our next ride?"
"Let's go to the fun house!" Momiji suggested.
"That's a wonderful idea," he agreed. "See, if there were a girl stuck in the fun house, then their reflection would be all around me! And then imagine them gracing me with their wonderful presence if they wore a mini skirt and fell over! No! Bending down is enou-!"
Yuki, Kyo, and Sayora knocked Shigure far, far, away.
"Wow… who knew that Shi-chan could fly so far, and high too!" Momiji said cheerfully.
"Shi-Shigure-san!" Tohru cried worriedly.
"The fun house sounds fine! Anything would be better than having to waste my energy knocking that perverted old man out of my sight!" Sayora growled.
"I can't believe he'd say something that perverted in front of Honda-san," Yuki angrily said.
"What else can you expect from someone like him?" Kyo asked annoyed.
"You mean something like him?" Sayora corrected. "The way he acts is inhuman."
Everyone started to walk to the fun house.
"B-but Shigure-san," Tohru began.
"Don't worry about him," Yuki told her. "Something like that isn't worth worrying about."
-----At the Fun House-----
They all went in together, but were soon separated when they got lost.
-----Half an Hour Later----- Sayora-----
She looked at the exit to the right of her.
"There it is!" she shouted happily.
She ran full speed at it. When she finally reached it, she ricocheted hard off of a mirror and landed on her back.
"Ow… dammit that hurt… I should've known better," she said to herself as she slowly got back up. "If the image is one that side, then the real exit has to be on the other side."
Sayora walked over to the other side this time just incase it was another image, which it wasn't. She got outside when Yuki and Tohru were coming out of one exit, and Kyo coming out of another. Shigure and Hiro were already there. A few minutes later, Kisa and Momiji came out from different exits.
"Sayora-san, your head… it's red," Yuki pointed out. "What happened?"
"I charged at a mirror image…" she muttered.
"You're so stupid!" Hiro insulted. "What were you trying to do? Go through it? Perhaps run into yourself?"
"Shut up!" Sayora shouted.
"Nice come back," Kyo said sarcastically.
"Quiet, stupid cat," Yuki ordered.
"Leave me alone you dumb rat!" Kyo shouted.
"You leave Yuki-kun alone!" Sayora commanded.
"Protecting your precious lover?" Kyo asked.
"Arguing with your precious rat?" Sayora asked without thinking.
"Hey!" Yuki shouted. "What do you mean!"
-----Hour and a Half Later-----
"Dammit where is he?" Kyo asked tiredly, referring to Hatsuharu.
"Who knows," Yuki said just as tiredly.
"That damn cow's hopeless," Sayora stated.
"He probably won't get out," Hiro said. "If his sense of direction is as bad as yours, then he's doomed. He won't be as lucky as you to accidentally find a way out of there."
"If someone like you can get out, what makes you think that a better person than you can't?" Sayora asked harshly.
"Shut up!" Hiro shouted, angered by her comment. "He's not better than me!"
"What, so you're better than him then?" Sayora asked, trying to contain her anger, but Hiro was really annoying her with his comments. "You're better than everyone? Cuz if you think you are, then I think you need to go back into that fun house and take a closer look at your reflections! Take a closer look at yourself! Why don't you just tackle your mirror images like any good ram would? Maybe it would knock some sense into your head!"
"Shut up!" Hiro commanded.
"Why? Because I'm right?" she asked harshly
Everyone was silent at looked at Sayora and Hiro. Hiro looked over to Kisa as he saw her look down and away from him. He was a little taken back and looked at the ground angrily.
"Oh… so this was where the exit was," came Haru's voice.
"Finally!" Shigure said cheerfully, trying to lighten up the mood. "Did you get lost?"
"Yeah… I couldn't tell which mirror path I'd gone through… they all looked familiar," he answered lazily. "And they didn't even have a map inside…"
Everyone except for Hiro looked at him oddly.
"Figures," Kyo said, letting out a sigh.
"Honestly, don't you know anything?" Yuki asked.
"What?" Haru asked cluelessly.
"Um, Hatsuharu-san… there aren't supposed to be any maps in a fun house," Tohru clarifies.
"Wow, really?" he asked.
"Hey! Hey! Which ride should we go on next? Which ride should we go on next?" Momiji asked excitedly.
"Actually, I think we'll have lunch next," Shigure said. "C'mon, let's go."
Everyone started walking to the food stands except for Hiro. He stood where he was. Everyone stopped as Sayora walked over to him.
"C'mon Hiro-kun," she said holding her hand out for him. "Let's go."
Hiro slapped it away furiously, shocking Sayora as well as everyone else. He had an angry expression on his face.
"I hate you!" he shouted at her and ran away.
Sayora's eyes widened slightly. Then she looked down a bit and sighed.
"I'll meet you guys at the food stands with Hiro-kun," Sayora said. "Excuse me…"
Sayora ran after Hiro.
"Sayora-san!" Tohru shouted. She was about to run after Hiro and Sayora, but Shigure stopped her.
"Tohru-kun, she said she'll meet us there," he said. "Let's go. Sayora-chan is a dependable person. She'll be fine."
-----Sayora-----
"Hiro-kun!" she called. "Hiro-kun!"
There was no answer. She looked around and finally found him sitting by himself on a bench. Sayora walked over next to him though he didn't seem to notice her.
"Hiro-kun," she called quietly.
Hiro's head snapped up and looked at Sayora.
"Get away from me!" he shouted, standing up. "I hate you! Why do you always have to make me sound so stupid! And in front of Kisa too!"
"Ah…"
"Do you like humiliating me in front of her!"
She felt guilty for making Hiro feel the way he did. Sayora knelt down so that she was eye level with him. She gently put her hand on the top of his brown hair and let her hand slide down to the back of his head. Hiro flinched.
"Hiro… you're a smart kid," she began. "You're one of the smartest grade school kids I know. I mean it. I didn't mean to make you look bad in front of Kisa-chan. I was just irritated. If you don't like it, I won't do it anymore, kay?"
After a while, Hiro nodded.
"Good!" she said cheerfully. "Now that we have an understanding on that, let's go have lunch with the others. Kisa-chan's probably waiting for you."
