Chapter fixed
After lunch was finished and they had helped Tohru clear up the dishes, Shigure had dragged Ayame into his 'Office' to talk. "Aaya, what brilliant plan have you come up with now?" Shigure asked, curious as his friend sat on his desk.
"Well you see Gure-san. On seeing that my brother and Kyo were neglecting Tohru by not giving her the love she deserves, I brought Rei here!"
Shigure shook his head, laughing. "Typical Aaya." He muttered. "Well, by the look on Tohru's face I'd say that your plan might actually work."
Aaya grinned, nodding.
[[Back in the kitchen]]
"I know! Let's play truth or dare!" Momiji said, excitedly as they all made their way into the Living room except for Hatori who was still in the kitchen waiting for Shigure and Ayame.
Everyone nodded, even Kyo but very reluctantly.
"Okay! Tohru, truth or dare?" Momiji asked, pointing his finger at her.
Tohru went red. "U-Uh...Truth?" She said quietly, staring at the carpet.
"Do you like someone in this room?" He asked her and she immediately knew what he meant.
Tohru looked around at all the boys, her eyes finally settling on Rei. "Yes." She said and when the boys tried to get a name, she merely shook her head. They soon gave in.
"Okay Kyo! Yo-" Momiji began but was cut off by Ayame and Shigure walking into the living room, followed by a rather bored and annoyed looking Hatori.
"We wanna play!!" Shigure whined, sitting down in the circle along with Ayame.
Kyo and Yuki looked at Shigure, scowling. Shigure gave them an all to innocent smile and then Momiji continued the game.
"Okay! Right, Kyo, truth or dare!" Momiji asked...well shouted.
"Dare." Kyo muttered, instantly regretting it.
"You have to...go stand out in the rain!" Momiji said laughing.
"WHAT?! You know I get weak in the rain you damn rabbit! And it isn't even raining!"
"Kyo, it's just a silly game. You don't need to get worked up." Shigure chimed in. And thus, the game went on.
"Rei your up next!" Ayame declared happily. "And I dare you to kiss Tohru!"
"W-Wait...don't I get to chose truth or dare?" Rei asked quietly, staring at the floor.
"Nope!"
"Nii-san...what are you playing at?" Yuki hissed angrily but Ayame ignored him.
"Come along now, kiss the girl!"
Tohru went a bright red as Rei's lips brushed against hers. She also felt something else...something she'd never once felt. Was it love? Her thoughts were interrupted by Kyo and Yuki shouting at Ayame.
"You're not playing the game properly Ayame!" Kyo was shouting angrily as Yuki nodded to show he was actually agreeing. Tohru looked at Haru and bit her lip.
"Um...G-Guys...H-haru..." She said, trying to get their attention. They didn't listen and Haru stood up. H-he's gone black!! She thought, looking round wildly. What is wrong with everyone today...
"You know I'm really getting tired of your games Ayame. Who do you think you are, using Tohru for your own personal entertainment? She's not a toy. She isn't here for your pleasure. She's a human, like the rest of us." Haru growled, stepping up to Ayame who looked rather scared.
"I wasn't using Tohru as a toy Hatsuharu....I was just playing along." Ayame stuttered, looking at Hatori and Shigure for help.
"Yeah, by making her do something she obviously wasn't comfortable with. Your just as bad as that pervert." Haru said, moving his head in the direction of Shigure.
Tohru then realized she hadn't heard what Ayame had dared her to do but apparently, it had been pretty bad. Even Momiji looked angry which surprised her.
"Okay Ayame. I think it's time you left." Hatori sighed, finally stepping in front of Ayame to protect him from the three teens. "Haru, Yuki, Kyo, calm down. Ayame was just having....fun."
"FUN?! HOW THE HELL CAN YOU STAND UP FOR THAT BAKA!" Kyo shouted before turning and storming upstairs.
"Are you okay Tohru?"
Tohru jumped, turning to the source of the voice. Rei. "Y-Yes I'm fine." She said, giving a small smile. "But, what exactly did Ayame dare me?" She asked, purely out of curiosity.
"T-To sit through the rest of the game in your underwear." Rei mumbled, embarrassed.
Well, that explains why everyone got angry... She thought, biting her lip as she stood up.
"Come Rei! It is time for us to depart!" Ayame announced.
"Bye, Tohru." Rei smiled, waving at the others before following Ayame out the door.
"I'm sorry Honda-san." Yuki said, watching her closely.
"It's okay Yuki-kun! You have nothing to apologize for, you didn't do anything wrong!" Tohru said cheerily, smiling. "Now, I guess I'd better start dinner as it's getting late." And with that, she walked into the kitchen, wondering if Rei was one of the zodiac and when she'd next see him.
"I apologize for Ayames behavior Tohru. I hope you weren't too upset by it." Hatori said, standing by the door way.
"It's fine Hatori-san! I was just worried about everyone...They all got so angry."
"Well, it would seem you have a lot of people looking out for you Tohru." Hatori smiled then left, leaving Tohru stood in the kitchen, confused.
Soon, her mind was back on making dinner and she couldn't help but smile when she heard the familiar sound of Yuki and Kyo yelling at Shigure. She was so used to them arguing she didn't know what she would do if they started being nice to each other. She'd be too scared to think straight.
"Tohru...The stews boiling over." Haru muttered, making me jump.
"Ah! I was so deep in thought I never realised! Thank you Haru!" Tohru smiled happily and turned her attention to the stew.
"Don't mention it..." Haru mumbled, sitting down and watching her, looking thoughtful.
A few minutes later Tohru's voice rang through the house. "Dinners Ready!" She called, placing a pot of stew on the table along with bowls and spoons.
"It's a shame Ayame and Rei couldn't stay for dinner...Should I save them some?" Tohru asked, worrying.
"Don't start worrying about that idiot Tohru; he's not worth the time." Kyo said bitterly. And was that...Jealousy Tohru could hear? Of course not. What is there for Kyo to be jealous of? She thought, shaking her head and sighing.
"Doesn't my little flower make the best food every Haa-san!" Shigure said grinning.
"She does make some nice food Shigure...Much better then what I get back home."
"Eh?!" Tohru looked up when she heard what Hatori said.
"It's true Tohru, your food is great!" Momiji grinned happily. Then he glanced at Haru and smiled when he saw that Haru was obviously trying not to laugh. Haru cares a lot for Tohru...So i shall try my best to get them together! Momiji silently promised himself as they continued to eat. They heard Kyo mutter something about how he hated leeks and Momiji shook his head. Tohru deserves someone like Haru and Haru deserves her. Kyo and Yuki will take forever to tell her how they feel which means Haru has a chance..! Happy with his plan, Momiji began to eat again, humming a quiet tune to himself.
