Chapter 25: Akito's Hiking Song
THE NEXT MORNING
(The time is 6:00AM)
Kyo- (Asleep) Mmm...so sleepy...
Shigure- Wake up Kyo-kun, we have to start our hike early.
Kyo- (Asleep) No.
Tohru- Come on Kyo-kun, time to wake up. ^_^
Yuki- Wake up idiot.
Kyo- (Half asleep) Tohru? Is that you?
Tohru- Yes. ^_^
(Kyo grabbed Yuki's hand)
Kyo- (Half asleep) My beautiful Tohru...
Shigure- Heehee... ^_^
Yuki- ACK!
(Yuki punched Kyo over the head causing Kyo to bolt up)
Kyo- Huh? What? I'm up!
Tohru- Oh Kyo-kun, you're funny! ^_^
(Kyo looked up and saw that Yuki was giving him a dirty look)
Yuki- Disgusting...
Kyo- WHAT DO YOU WANT DAMN RAT??!! YOU WANNA FIGHT??!!
(Kyo jumped out of bed, but Shigure put up a hand)
Shigure- Now, now Kyo, I'm sure you don't want me to call Kagura, do you?
(Kyo looked away)
Kyo- (Sigh) Fine, I get it...
Yuki- Get dressed; we are going on our hike.
(Kyo got dressed, and in a few minutes Kyo, Yuki, Shigure, and Tohru were hiking to the camp site)
MEANWHILE
Kureno- Akito, wake up.
Akito- (Asleep) Mmm...no...
Kureno- Akito, open your eyes.
(Akito turned over in his bed)
Akito- (Asleep) No.
Kureno- Akito it's important.
Akito- (Half asleep) What time is it?
Kureno- 6:37AM.
Akito- (Half asleep) No. Nothing is important at 6:37AM.
Kureno- Akito...
Akito- No. Go away.
Kureno- It's about Shigure.
Akito- (Awake) Thanks for waking me up, now what is it?
Kureno- Shigure called, and said you had to be up.
Akito- I had to be up? For what?
Kureno- He said you were going on the camping trip with them, and he said you had to be up early.
Akito- HUH?! CAMPING TRIP?! I'M NOT GOING ON ANY CAMPING TRIP!!
Kureno- Well he said-
Akito- I don't care what he said! You woke me up for no reason, go away!
(Akito put a pillow over his head)
(Right then a servant walked in and pulled Akito out of bed)
Servant- Wakey, wakey Akito-san, you'll be late for the camping trip!
Akito- I TOLD YOU, I AINT GOING ON NO STUPID CAMPING TRIP!
(Five minutes later Akito was in a Sohma limo, with his luggage, on his way to the camp site)
Akito- (Yawn) This is so boring...
(Akito looked out his window and a little ways away saw Shigure, Yuki, Kyo, and Tohru hiking up a hill)
Akito- What are they doing?
(Just then a rabbit ran in front of the Sohma limo, and Akito screamed and grabbed the wheel)
Akito- DON'T HIT THE RABBIT!!
Driver- AKITO! WHAT ARE YOU DOING??!!
(Akito made the driver swerve and missed the rabbit, but didn't come anywhere near missing the big tree that was in front of them)
CRASH!!!!
(From down below, Shigure, Tohru, Kyo, and Yuki heard the sound of the crash)
Yuki- What was that?
Kyo- Sounded like a car crash...
Tohru- Oh my...
Shigure- Probably some wackos who don't know how to drive.
(Meanwhile, Akito was opening his eyes)
Akito- Am I dead?
Driver- YOU MADE US CRASH!! THE SOHMA LIMO IS TOTALLED!
Akito- Is the rabbit okay?
Driver- Huh? Oh, yeah I think so.
Akito- Good. One more thing, you're fired.
Driver- WHAT?! WHY?!
(Akito stepped out of the car)
Akito- BECAUSE YOU MADE US CRASH!!
(Akito grabbed his luggage from the trunk and walked after Shigure and the others while trying hard not to be seen)
Shigure- Does anyone have the feeling that we're being followed?
Yuki- Now that you mention it...
Tohru- I hope not...
Kyo- Who would want to follow us?
Shigure- Oh, don't worry, it's probably just Jason.
Kyo- J-Jason?
Yuki- You mean the character from that horror film?
Shigure- No Yuki, I mean the bear from the woods.
Tohru- B-Bear?
Yuki- There is no such thing.
Shigure- I wouldn't be so sure. It says in the brochure that there is a bear named Jason around.
(Yuki grabbed the brochure)
Yuki- Give me that.
Kyo- Does it say anything about a bear?
Yuki- Why? Are you scared? (Snicker, snicker)
Kyo- NO!
(Yuki looked at the brochure for a moment then handed it back to Shigure)
Yuki- Well, it's lying.
Shigure- How can a BROCHURE lie?
Yuki- I don't know, but it is.
Tohru- So there IS a bear?
Yuki- No, Honda-san.
Tohru- Oh good! ^_^
Kyo- Yeah, I knew that there wasn't a bear; I was just playing around...
Yuki- Right...
Kyo- I WAS!!
Shigure- There it is!
(Shigure pointed ahead to see a nice peaceful camp site)
Tohru- Hurray, we made it!
Yuki- Finally...
Shigure- Let's start setting up camp. ^_^
Tohru- Okay. ^_^
(Everyone started putting up the huge tent Shigure brought)
(Meanwhile, Akito had stopped about half a mile away)
Akito- This is where I make camp.
(Akito reached his hand into his bag and pulled out a tent that was fit for one person)
Akito- What the hell is this?
(Akito pulled out the directions Kureno gave him for setting up a tent)
Akito- (Reading directions)-
1. This is a tent.
2. Take out the pegs and the strings.
(Akito reached into his bag and pulled out pegs and strings)
3. Pick up Arisa at 7:00.
Akito- Huh? Is that part of the directions?
4. Set up the tent.
Akito- THAT'S NO HELP!!
(Akito struggled with the tent for a few hours before he got it set up right)
Akito- So...tired...
(Meanwhile, Tohru, Kyo, Yuki, and Shigure had already set up their tent, and got a camp fire going)
Tohru- This is so nice!
Kyo- I've got to admit, Shigure this was a pretty good idea.
Shigure- Yep! ^_^ So what do you think about my double tent?
Kyo- It's okay, as long as I get to share one with Tohru...
(Yuki's eyes were twitching, and in his mind he was thinking to himself)
Yuki's Mind- Honda-san needs to be happy on this trip, so I guess...
Yuki- Kyo?
Kyo- Yeah?
Yuki- If you want...to share...a tent...with Honda-san...that's okay...with...me...
Kyo- Really?
Yuki- NO! I mean...yes...
Tohru- Oh Yuki, you're so sweet! ^_^
Shigure- Looks like Yuki is going to be sleeping in the same tent as me! ^_^
Yuki- That's what I'm afraid of...
Shigure- Not to worry, I don't move around in my sleep...too much...
Yuki- Too much?!
(Meanwhile Akito had pulled out another set of directions Kureno had given him, but this one was how to start a fire)
Akito- (Reading Directions)-
1. Keep a bucket of water handy.
Akito- WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN???!!! I don't even have a bucket of water...
2. Look in bag.
(Akito looked in his bag and saw a small bucket)
Akito- Oh. But how do I get water?
3. Follow step #2.
(Akito looked in his bag again and saw large jugs of water)
Akito- Okay...
4. Put SOME of the water in the bucket.
(Akito poured a little bit of water in the bucket)
Akito- I guess that's enough...
5. Not enough water. Pour more.
(Akito looked at the directions)
Akito- That's weird...
(Akito poured more water into the bucket)
6. Dig a small hole a little ways away from the tent.
Akito- DIG?! WITH WHAT??!
7. Follow step #2.
(Akito looked in his bag to see a small shovel)
Akito- Wow, how convenient.
(Akito dug a small hole away from the tent)
8. Get medium sized rocks, and put them around the hole.
Akito- WHERE AM I GOING TO GET ROCKS??!!
9. Follow step #2.
(Akito looked in his bag yet again to see another bag, and it was full of rocks)
Akito- THAT'S WHY MY BAG WAS SO HEAVY!!
(Akito placed the rocks around the hole he dug)
10. Put sticks and twigs in the hole.
Akito- I'm not even going to ask where those are...
11. Follow step #2.
(Sure enough, sticks and twigs were in Akito's bag, and he then put them in the hole)
12. Get matches out of your bag.
(Akito got a match from his bag)
Akito- What am I supposed to do with this?
13. Light the match, and throw it into the hole.
(Akito lit the match and threw it into the hole, and then he had a fire going)
Akito- What next?
14. Arisa likes roses.
Akito- WHAT DOES THAT MEAN??!! WHO IS ARISA??!!
(Meanwhile, Kyo had walked into the tent to see what Tohru was doing)
Kyo- Tohru? What are you doing?
(Tohru was lying down reading a book)
Tohru- Kyo? Oh, I'm just reading one of Shigure's books. It's actually quite interesting.
(Kyo screamed and grabbed the book out of Tohru's hands)
Kyo- TOHRU NO! YOUR MIND IS PURE!
Tohru- Huh?
Kyo- MY POINT EXACTLY! DON'T EVER, EVER PICK UP ONE OF THESE BOOKS AGAIN!!
Tohru- I'm sorry...
(Kyo sighed and left the tent)
(A few minutes later Tohru, changed her clothes, and left them on the floor of tent when she saw another one of Shigure's books)
Tohru- (Reading the title) Moonlight Madness...hmmm...
(Tohru sat down and began reading the book, but in a few minutes decided to walk out of the tent to get some fresh air)
Tohru- (Reading out loud) The two of them loved each other very much...
(Kyo looked her way and saw that she was reading another romance novel)
Kyo- AAAAAAH! TOHRU!
(Kyo jumped up, and attempting to grab the book out of Tohru's hand, tripped and fell onto her causing himself to transform)
Kyo- TOHRU GIVE ME THAT BOOK THIS INSTANT!!
(Tohru didn't pay attention to the whining Kyo, and just began walking toward the lake still reading the book)
Tohru- (Reading out loud) Although their parents didn't approve of their love, they still promised that they would find a way to be together...
Kyo- TOHRU!!!!
(Kyo followed Tohru until they were far away from the camp site)
(Meanwhile Akito was sitting at his camp site)
Akito- (Sigh) I'm so bored...I wonder what I can do?
(Akito dug around in his bag until he found a paper that said, "What You Can Do For Activities")
Akito- Hmm, let s see...
1. Go on a hike.
Akito- IF I GO ON I HIKE I'LL GET LOST!!
2. If you don't want to get lost, mark your trail.
Akito- Mark my trail? With what?
3. Follow step #2 from other list.
(Akito looked in his bag to see a bunch of rabbit stickers)
Akito- KURENO YOU'RE BRILLIANT!
4. It was Hatori's idea.
Akito- Whatever. It's like this stupid list is trying to be smart.
5. I'm not trying to be smart Akito.
(Akito dropped the list and jumped up)
Akito- Okay, now that's just freaky!
(Akito looked at his stickers)
Akito- Well I guess I'm going on a hike. What should I take with me?
(Akito dug through his bag, and decided that he should take 6 things)
Akito- First, I will take this bar of soap because it is as hard as a rock, and if there is any wackos out there, I can throw it at them. Second, I will take an extra set of clothes in case I lose this pair. Third, I will take a flashlight so if it gets dark, I will be able to see! Fourth, I will take this single match, so I can burn down Shigure's camp site, MUHAHAHA! Fifth, I will take a towel in case I have to carry home a poor defenseless rabbit. And sixth, I am taking my beautiful rabbit stickers so I won't get lost! ^_^
(As Akito packed these things in a smaller bag he seemed pretty proud of himself, meanwhile Yuki had just decided to go check on Tohru)
Yuki- Tohru? What's up?
(Yuki stepped into the tent and saw Tohru's clothes lying on the floor)
Yuki- What the-?
(Yuki took one step outside of the tent and looked down to see Kyo's clothes)
Yuki- Kyo... (Gasp) HONDA-SAN AND KYO ARE NAKED BY THEMSELVES!!
Yuki- Now if I were Kyo, where would I hide that people would least likely think I would go to?
(Yuki thought for a moment, then snapped his fingers)
Yuki- THE LAKE!!!
(Yuki took off in a fast run towards the lake)
(Meanwhile, Akito had started his hike)
Akito- Lets see I'll put the biggest sticker on this tree...
(Akito smiled, and walked further and further into the forest, he soon got so happy that he made up a song as he hiked)
Akito's Hiking Song-
I am hiking through the woods, I'm having so much fun, and Hatori is brilliant!
I like hiking; It is so much fun, Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala!!!!
CHORUS
I see the trees, I see frogs, I see rabbits, and time to mark a tree!
I see rocks, I see bugs...bugs aren't that cool though...oh well! Time to mark a tree!
I am Akito Sohma, my rabbit's name is Stinky, and I am hiking through the woods!
Lalalalalalalalala, I'm going to burn down Shigure's camp site, HURRAY! HURRAY!
(Akito happily skipped through the forest singing the song he created over and over again, but what he didn't know is that Shigure had spotted him and had been following him the whole time, taking his rabbit stickers off the trees he had marked as he went)
Shigure- Such ugly stickers should not be put on such beautiful trees! ^_^
(Shigure then ran around putting all of the stickers he found on different trees)
Shigure- This one goes on that tree, and now this one will go on this tree...haha, that should confuse him! ^_^
(After awhile Akito began to get tired)
Akito- I should go back...
(Akito turned back around)
Akito- Now, where is the last sticker I used?
(Akito looked around and saw a rabbit sticker, and then began following the way it lead)
(Meanwhile Tohru was at the lake reading Shigure's book while Kyo desperately tried to get it from her)
Kyo- TOHRU GIVE ME THAT BOOK BEFORE YOU READ SOMETHING YOUR GOING TO REGRET READING!
(Tohru paid no attention as Kyo crawled into her lap reaching for the book with his paw)
Kyo- TOHRU GIVE ME THE DAMN BOOK!
(Tohru's eyes grew wide and the book began to slip out of her fingers)
Kyo- SEE? WHAT DID I TELL YOU?! NOW GIVE ME THAT-
(Kyo transformed back into human and was on top of Tohru, and before he could move or Tohru could say anything, Yuki came rushing down to where they were)
Yuki- KYO YOU PERVERTED FIEND DON'T TOUCH-!
(Yuki saw them)
Yuki- H-HONDA-SAN!
A/N: Oh wow. Kyo is really getting a lot of action. (LOL) Poor Yuki-kun always comes at the worst moments! ^_^ Please read and review, and I will update as soon as possible. Thank you to my readers.
