HIYA!!! Sorry it took me so long to get this posted! I was sick, then I didn't have the notebook, and then I had to make up all of the back work, and now I have to get ready for a trip to Philadelphia! Phew! And this chapter is fun. Mostly cause they leave the theme park and Yuki makes his move…. Not my fault, all Yuki fluff is strictly J-san's fault, not mine. And chapter 10 has the most fluff, but this one is interesting too…So read and review please!!! Or it might take me even longer to post the next one!! ( j/k, btw)

Chapter 9: Exit Stage…Ummm…

As they got off of the tilt- a- whirl, Hana-chan and Kyo were supporting Tohru. Yuki ran off to find an empty garbage can, And Uo went to find an empty popcorn container for Yuki for later. Momiji and Kisa followed her, laughing because they weren't dizzy at all. Tohru, Kyo and Hana –chan sat down on an available bench.

"Oh, poor Tohru –kun is so dizzy." Hana-chan said, patting Tohru on the back.

"Maybe you should lie down." Kyo said, and found that Tohru had put her head on his shoulder.

"I'm s-sorry Kyo-kun, I'm just so dizzy…" Tohru said, thinking, I hope he doesn't mind, he's so strong and…what am I thinking!?

Kyo blushed furiously and asked gruffly, "Are you comfortable?"

"Eh? Oh, um, yeah." Tohru said, also blushing. "I'm almost not dizzy at all anymore."

I would tell her now, but Hanajima's here! Damn! Kyo thought, and Hanajima just smiled a small and smug smile. Kyo gently stroked Tohru's hair once, barely noticing he did so.

"Oh look. Yuki, Uo and the others are back." Hana calmly said, although she could sense what Yuki and Kyo were feeling.

Shit! Yuki thought being unprincely, That cat's trying to steal my Tohru! Yuki was boiling with concealed rage. He walked toward the bench, and saw Kyo glare at him with hatred in his eyes.

"Tohru-kun, do you want to go on a water ride with me?" Yuki said, knowing exactly how much the cat hated water.

I know what he's doing, and I won't let him! Kyo thought angrily, relinquishing his hold on Tohru as she sat up.

"Sure!" Tohru innocently said, "But Kyo-"

"I'll come." Kyo said, standing up and helping Tohru up from the bench.

"Yay!" Tohru said, "Hana, Uo, Kisa, Momiji, you'll all come, right?"

"Of course!" Momiji and Kisa answered.

"Sure." Uo said, and Hana-chan nodded her agreement. Yuki and Kyo glared at each other, then Yuki grabbed Tohru's hand and they all walked toward the water section of the park.

"Wait, which water ride should we go on?" Tohru asked, looking at all of them, "Okay, Yuki-kun, you decide!"

"Umm…hmmm… How about that one?" he asked, pointing to the nearest ride. It had a pirate theme. (A/N Yuki doesn't know it's a ghost pirate ride until too late.)

"Okay!" Tohru happily agreed, and they all boarded the ride. As soon as the ride began, spooky music started playing and skeleton pirates on the gallows started talking.

"Uh-oh!" Uo, Hana, Yuki Kyo and Kisa chorused as Tohru began to look frightened.

"Um, it won't get any scarier, right?" she asked nervously. Suddenly, a robotic giant squid tentacle started rocking their boat. "EEEEEEEK!" Tohru shrieked, backing away from it.

"This was not a good idea." Uo said as ghost pirates bombarded the boat, and Tohru cowered in terror against the seat. Momiji and Kisa looked worriedly at her.

"Nice choice, rat." Kyo said over Tohru's head.

"I didn't know it would be scary!" Yuki protested, and then Tohru screamed again.

"Wave!" Momiji suddenly cried, and their boat hit rapids that doused them all with water.

"Onee-chan, are you okay?" Kisa asked Tohru, concerned. "It's not that scary."

"T-T-The waves are kind of fun." Tohru said, as they were dunked under a waterfall.

"There, see Tohru? It's not that bad-" Uo was cut off as another ghost flew over their head sand all of the lights went out.

"Oh crap." Kyo said, as they stopped moving. The only noise was the moaning of the pirates and the water rushing past.

"T-t-this isn't f-fun anymore." Tohru whispered.

"Is this even part of the ride?" Uo asked.

"Onee-chan?" Kisa asked, fumbling in the darkness.

"I'm f-fine. I'm here, Kisa-chan." Tohru replied. Not really! This is terrifying! She thought.

"Don't worry Tohru, the lights will be back on soon." Hana-chan reassured her.

Yuki felt very guilty. "I'm sorry Tohru-kun, I didn't mean for this to happen." Yuki apologized. He grabbed Tohru's hand and squeezed.

"Don't try to weasel out of this one, rat!" Kyo snarled, grabbing Tohru's other hand.

Suddenly the lights turned back on, and the manager apologized for the inconvenience. Then Momiji burst out, "Hey look! Yuki and Kyo are holding Tohru's hands!" All three of them blushed.

"Ah, ah, ah. Tohru's heart is fragile. Tread carefully." Hanajima warned. Another dunking cut off Yuki and Kyo's protests.

"WHEEEE!!!" Tohru, Momiji and Kisa cried. Then the ride ended. As they got off, Uo wrung out her skirt and said,

"Well that was refreshing, but it's time for us too leave." Hanajima nodded, and wrung out her hair.

"Us too." Kisa said, and Momiji nodded.

"What? So soon?" Tohru asked, then noticed the time. "Oh no! I have to start dinner!" So all of the friends departed and Tohru, Yuki and Kyo were left alone.

"Thank you so much!" Tohru thanked them as they walked home, "It was so much fun!"

"You're welcome." Yuki replied. But he was distracted. He had made his decision. I'll tell her tonight at my base. He thought, smiling.

"Whatever, as long as you enjoyed it." Kyo looked away, thinking, I'll tell her on the roof tonight.

"I really did!" Tohru said, unaware of the turn the boys' thoughts had taken.

Tohru was finished, and while everyone else was eating she excused herself.

"I have some homework." She said, and Yuki stood up too.

"I need to finish mine as well." He said. Kyo was about to stand up too, but Shigure and Aaya, who still hadn't left, distracted him. Tohru and Yuki walked upstairs.

"Tohru-kun, do you need help? Or would you like to go to my secret base with me?" he asked, violet eyes searching her face.

"Okay, I'll go with you!" Tohru said, thinking Tonight's my last night. I better make the best off it. Yuki took her hand and they went back down and outside, headed toward Yuki's garden.
