On with the boring chapter! :D :D

The Red Envelopes

The doors were slammed shut. Shigure sped out of the car and up the stairs, Hatori trailing close behind. Shigure flung the door open and drew all attention to himself - In other words he made a grand entrance… Though it was unintended…

Hatori stood behind looking at the blank faces that stared at them. They all looked at each other until Tohru spoke up.

"W-W-Welcome back Shigure san!" She stuttered as Shigure let out a sigh

"What's up with you?" Kyo frowned

"Was Akito here?" Hatori asked as Tohru nodded

"Why was he here?!" Shigure shouted as Yuki passed him a pile of red envelopes.

"Because of this…" He replied as Shigure teared the one that said Shigure on it open.

"What is that?" Hatori said as the others shrugged

"We don't know, All we do know it's some form of invitation according to Honda san,"
"Let me read it... "
"Tohru!" A voice hissed as Tohru looked around not quite knowing where it was from, "In your head silly!"
"Oh!" She thought as she recognized the voice "Mom?"
"Yeah, It's me… You need to go to Ushio later and remember what I told you," Kyoko ordered
"Oh okay... " She replied thinking she was going mad

"You're not going mad," She laughed "Nice chatting Tohru!" Tohru frowned as Kyo shook her

"H-Huh?"
"Quit daydreaming and listen!" He shouted as Tohru nodded

"It's an invite to the Zodiac banquet… We don't usually get invites…" Shigure mumbled as Hatoi took the piece of paper and studied it

"Akito has something planned," He said as the others nodded

"But what?" Kyo asked as they shrugged

"We'll just have to wait and see," Shigure said not liking what was happening

"But why is there extras?" Yuki asked as Shigure frowned

"There's extra?"
"Yeah three extra," Kyo grumbled as Yuki showed him the three invites

"Tohru, Kyo and… Ushio?" He asked as the other's nodded, "But Ushio's just an outsider…"
"This isn't making much sense…" Yuki said as the others nodded. Shigure and Hatori walked to the door,

"Don't stay up here too long~" Shigure winked as Yuki and Kyo growled at him as he skipped off

"Um I should go see Ushio chan!" Tohru said as she went to the door but tripped along the way. While she was falling Kyo ran to catch her but forgot he was going to transform. Yuki listened for the usual poof… But it didn't come. Instead he saw Tohru hugging Kyo.

"Huh?" They chorused as Shigure ran back into the room with a confused expression on his face

"Where's the scowling orange cat?" He asked as a poof was heard and Kyo was in his cat form, "Oh there he is…"

"Hey Shigure… Wasn't that a bit odd?" Yuki asked as Shigure nodded as he knew what happened

"The curse is weakening, This might happen from time to time," He smirked at Kyo who frowned at him

"Why?" Tohru asked as Shigure grin grew wide

"Because… The cat loves someone~!" Shigure teased as Kyo blushed and growled at Shigure

"SHUT UP!" He shouted turning back to normal. Tohru quickly covered her eyes as Kyo got dressed and killed Shigure. Well he tried to anyway.

XOXOXOXOXOXOX

"Ushio chan?" Tohru asked knocking on her door.
"Y-y-yeah?" Ushio shouted her voice wavering a bit

"Can I come in?"
"Um… I'd like to… Be by myself," She replied as Tohru's heart sank a little.
"I'm worried about you though…" Tohru whispered as a sorry was heard

"You can…" Tohru let herself in not prepared for the sight before her. Ushio's eyes were red and she was wrapped in her blanket (Oops Ushio sounds like she's been dumped hehe….)

"H-H-Hello…" She said as Tohru gave her a hug

"Ushio chan! Are you OK?"
"Yeahh…" She replied as they sat in silence for a bit until Ushio spoke up, "Why is it so dark?" ('cause the lights not on! Sorry had to say that)
"Because you're sad, It's fine to feel sad… But I don't understand why you are sad. I thought you'd be happy…"
"I thought that too…." She replied, "I don't know why I feel sad…. Maybe it 'cause I didn't get it sooner or maybe they're just happy tears," Tohru nodded as Kyoko's voice popped back into her head

"For there to be pain, there has to be kindness. For darkness to stand out, there has to be the sun,"
"Ushio, I'm sure your parents don't want you to be sad! Also they'd want you to smile and have fun. I'm sure they love to watch you every day growing and pursuing your dreams! So don't be sad," Tohru said as Ushio sniffed and wiped her tears

"B-But I don't know how…"
"Think about all the things that'll make you happy!" Tohru said as Ushio nodded and took a moment to think. She then smiled and gave Tohru a hug causing them both to topple over. The two laughed and started to talk about different things, Laughing and being weird. But that laughter stopped when a phone started to ring.
"Oh! Ushio the phone!" Tohru exclaimed as Ushio got up and picked up the phone

"Hello! Ushio Okazaki speaking," She said as a frantic voice was heard. Ushio froze. Tohru looked at her confused as Ushio dropped the phone. She then ran out of the house grabbing her coat on the way.
"Ushio?!" Tohru shouted pulling on her coat and running after her…..

Hello~
Sorry for the really really boring chapter! Hopefully the next chapter will be good… Though a bit annoying from what I can make from it, Chapter 17 is going to be good too! Hopefully…

Anyway, I have a question, Do you have any ships that you don't want together? Like I don't know Yuki and Tohru or Kyo and Tohru -This story's a Kyo and Tohru by the way hehe sorry!
Also do you mind if I made Hatori and Kana go back together? I've already started it but I can change things around. If you don't want them together then you'll have to tell me by the next chapter…

Oh and the other Zodiac members are going to be in not the next chapter but the next next chapter!

Bye! Tohru Honda Chan~ ^^
