Kita's Invasion
Disclaimer: I hope you chilluns like my story, but sadly, I own but one
character. ;_; And that would be me. So anyways, I don't own anything I
don't own.
~*~
Hatori shook his head while Shigure chuckled a little. I raised my hand to smack myself on the head.
Tohru had lifted the three smaller animals, a rabbit, cat and mouse in her arms and was rushing around in a circle, wondering what to do. "Gomen na sai!! I'm sorry!!" As she was running around like a chicken with its head cut off, she bumped into the large cow of Haru.
"Calm down, Tohru!" Momiji squealed as she hugged the animals tighter.
"It's okay, it's not your fault." -_-;; Yuki just shook his head, unable to resist Tohru's panicking.
"It's the fat cow's entire fault!" Kyou shouted, his ears moving in anger.
"Tohru, set them down so they can change back to human form," Hatori said calmly.
"Hai!" She obeyed, setting them down gently. The *ping* of the four boys transforming sounded.
Dammit, Shigure had covered my eyes. Such a spoiler -_-;
I heard Tohru scream and a loud thud. I peeked through Shigure's fingers and saw the aftermaths of Tohru bumping into the wall. She was standing there, just kind of staring at the wall rubbing her forehead.
"Tohru, are you alright?" Yuki finished buttoning up his shirt and touched her shoulder carefully.
"Hai! Yes, I'm fine!!" She turned around, a stupefied expression written on her face.
Haru had settled down, returning to normal. "Momiji, don't ask again."
"But-but-" he whined, staring at me with big eyes. "Fine." His gloomy face quickly changed into a large smile. He grabbed my wrist and started skipping (a fifteen year old guy skipping? What the hell, he looks cute doing it) back down the stairs. Haru, Kyou, Yuki and Tohru followed soon after.
"Did Haru steal your first kiss?" Momiji asked, pulling on my sleeve. We all sat lazily around as if ready for a game of truth or dare. Hehe, that'd be fun.
"No," I confessed, blushing slightly.
All eyes stared at me for a moment.
"Don't look at me like I'm some prostitute!!!" I exclaimed, raising my hands in the air. Quickly I brought them down and covered my face.
"Who was it with?" Tohru asked, her eyes wide with wonder. "Was it love- love??"
"It was not love-love!" I crossed my arms defiantly and stared away from everyone.
"Well, who was it??" Momiji repeated for Tohru.
"Baca."
"You kissed a guy named Baka!! Ha ha ha!!" Kyou had stood up, pointing his finger at me. Oooh. how I loathe thee.
"HIS NAME WAS NOT BAKA!!! It was B-A-C-A!!!" I pulled my arms to my sides and stamped my feet like a toddler. "Stupid stupid Baca," I added under my breath.
"What happened? Why would you kiss him if it wasn't love-love?" Yuki asked, a little frightened of how I was acting.
I rubbed my chin, reminiscing on how I had torched all the notes and photos of him. "Ohohohoho," I cackled menacingly. "We were boyfriend and girlfriend, he wanted to show some affection, I guess."
"So. why did you break up?" Haru chirped with thoughts of Rin in his head.
(A/N: Alright folks, I don't know who Rin is exactly, but I know she's the horse of the Juunishi. She and Haru went out for a while, and *mysteriously* broke up. So yeah, there's not going to be any further mention of her. ^_^)
Tohru's mesmerized face went sullen all of a sudden, just now realizing that in fact, we *had* broken up. I mean come on, who would date a guy named Baca? It sounds EXACTLY like baka. He is such a baka. Oh, well I guess *I* would date someone named Baca. hahahha. -_-;;
I started walking out of the room, ignoring the question. "This isn't Maury," I said as my lame excuse. Hmph. Marching, I went back up to Tohru's and my room.
Shigure was still talking to Hatori in the hall when I came stampeding through. "Kita, is something wr-"
"I'M FINE!!!" Quickly I slammed the door behind me.
"I wonder what's wrong."
"Someone must have offended her." Hatori shook his head a little and proceeded to walk downstairs with Shigure at his side.
The room I was in wasn't the largest of all. I didn't see how we could manage to fit another bed in here. I sauntered over to the small desk and sat down. Staring at the wall, I rested my head on the surface. Slowly my eyes began to wander, and I noted the picture of Tohru's mother. She really was beautiful, but seemed so different from Tohru.
There was a knock on the door. When I refused to answer, the person opened it up and came to stand next to me. "I'm sorry. I've done a lot of things to offend you today."
"Ahahahaha! Don't worry about it!" I quickly lifted my head from the table, my cheeks a little pink. Cheesus, these characters are a lot more polite than people at my old high school. *visions of butt grabbing and boob twisting appear*
Momiji suddenly appeared next to Haru. "I'm sorry, too." He smiled and leaped towards me, engulfing me in a tight hug. These people are soo kawaii!!!
He suddenly let go, pulling me out of the seat. He dragged me down the hall and down the stairs to where Hatori and Shigure were standing. Hmm. Momiji's pretty strong for someone his size! Haru came slowly drifting behind us. "I want to go to the hot spring!!" His whine filled the entire house, so everyone had heard him. Kyou and Yuki came rushing in with their protests.
"I refuse to share a room with baka-neko again!!!" Yuki glared at Kyou, who returned the favor by challenging him to a fight.
"Not here," Shigure pleaded, eyeing around the house. "My poor, poor house."
"Why?" Hatori eyed Momiji carefully.
"Because she's never gone before!" he answered as if it were the obvious. Hahaha, I hadn't even been to a hot spring before! Hatori better agree.
"Of course we're going!" Shigure interrupted. "The question is, how will we get there?'' He turned to Hatori, batting his eyes. "Ne, Tori?"
Hatori gave in to the annoying please of Momiji and Shigure. "When should we leave?"
"Right now! Let's go pack our bags."
"Wh-wh-what about school?!?" Tohru nearly had a heart attack at the thought of skipping.
"One day isn't going to hurt, will it?" Yuki asked, touching her elbow reassuringly.
Tohru turned her head towards Yuki slowly, her eyes wide with horror. O_O
Shigure was coming down the stairs, suitcase in hand. Wait. when had he left? "I'm ready!" ^_^ He bounced out of the house and waited expectantly by Hatori's car. Haru and Momiji followed Hatori outside while the others went to pack.
"I love the hot spring!" Tohru giggled as she threw some clothes into a bag. "It's so relaxing and luxurious." She began humming as she wrapped her mother's picture in plastic. "Have you ever been to a hot spring?"
"No," sheepishly I answered. What was I so embarrassed about? So I'd never been to a hot spring before, big deal. It wasn't something to be self- conscious about. Heh, silly me over reacting again. -_-;
Everyone piled into the car. The sun was setting, so we would more than likely eat dinner at the inn. Kyou, Haru and Yuki took the backseats while Tohru, Momiji and I took the middle. Shigure sat up front with Hatori, talking jibberish about the things he planned to do when they arrived.
The mellow sky soothed everyone and put them into a clam sleep. Of course I couldn't sleep with all the anticipation I was feeling. I turned around.
KAWAII!!! WHERE'S MY CAMERA?!?!? The three boys were tangled with each other in their sleep. Haru obviously shifted a lot when he slept. His head was propped against Yuki's right shoulder, an arm draped around him for support as he slept. Yuki's head was against Haru's, his fingers intertwined with his. Kyou had his head resting on Haru's shoulder, hugging his arm like a teddy bear. This was some type of fantasy come true for any fangirls who supported guy-to-guy relationships. Of course these three were straight, or were they?...
CAMERAAAAAA!!!! It was securely stashed away in the suitcase stuffed in the very back of the car!! ;_;
Hatori stopped the car abruptly, pushing the three boys into a rude awakening.
"WHAT THE HELL!?!?" Kyou was the first to wake. Realizing what he was doing, he pulled back before anyone *saw*. Hehehe, I will treasure that image forever!!!
Yuki was staring at the top of Haru's head. He quickly stiffened his back and removed his hand from Haru's.
Haru refused to wake easily, leaving his head on Yuki's shoulder.
"We're here," Tohru chanted happily while turning around in her seat. She gasped in horror at Haru's position. "Wh-wh-wha?!?"
"It's not what you think, Tohru!" Yuki pleaded, trying to push Haru off of him. "Don't misunderstand!!"
"Misunderstand what?" She was still freaking out, slowly backing out of the car.
Momiji giggled and exclaimed, "Haru's cheating on Kita!!" The giggling continued until they had walked in front of the inn.
"Wow! It's humungo!!" I looked up, staring at the really *really* big inn. It was gigantic!! I'll probably get lost. Oh no! What if I get lost and can't find food. or an escape route! I'm going to have a pitiful death!! ;_;
"Kita?" Tohru was staring at me with a worried expression.
"Y-yes."
The front door creaked open. A woman was crawling outside, strands of black hair escaping her bun. Dark circles encompassed her eyes. "WELCOME!!!!"
"Eh?" Oh boy, it was the crazy lady.
"This is me-shou!" Momiji pointed to the woman collapsed at the door.
A figure from inside came towards them. She stooped down to pick up the collapsed woman and slung her arm around her shoulder to help support her.
Wait. was I so sure it was a she?
"Ritsu?! What are you doing here??" Shigure was heaving the last of the suitcases towards the inn.
"What? Am I not supposed to be here?? GOMEN NA SAI!! I APPOLOGIZE TO EVERYONE! I APPOLOGIZE TO ALL THE PEOPLE OF THE EARTH!!!"
"No, I'm just shocked to see you here." ^_^ Shigure started chuckling and started migrating the luggage inside.
Ritsu's mother coughed a little and straightened her posture. "Welcome. My son Ritsu is here to help the inn. I've become ill lately."
"Lately?" Kyou looked over at Yuki with a weird look.
There were voices heard from inside. Hatori paused and questioned, "Who else is here?"
His answer came through the doors, a spunky college freshman and a tall man with silver-white hair came hopping outside.
"Kagura?!?" Kyou stepped back in horror.
"AYA!!" Shigure dropped all suitcases and ran towards Ayame, chuckling.
"SHI!!" Ayame flipped his hair over one shoulder and calmed his voice. "I didn't know you would be here."
Hatori interrupted. "Yes you did. He called you earlier to ask you to meet us here." Hatori grabbed the forgotten suitcases and began stashing them inside the door.
"Ohoho. Tori, I'm glad you're here too!!" ^_^ Ayame was giggling again.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE, SPAWN OF SATAN!?!?" Yuki was with Kyou, making a very slow, shocked escape.
"KYOOOOOOU! LOVE OF MY LIFE!!!!!" Kagura came running towards Kyou, pouncing him with a death hug.
I, relishing the fact that Ayame was standing in front of me, stood still in shock.
Tohru and Ritsu had gone off to the side to talk. I was impressed to see Ritsu. He had his copper hair tied back into a braid and wore a not-so- girly robe.
Okay, shock time over. Unlike the others, I didn't tackle Ayame with a hug. I just coughed slightly and introduced myself. "Ahem, I'm Kita-"
"Ooooh! Is this the angel whom I may hug?!?!" Ayame grabbed me in his arms, tightly hugging me against his chest. For a guy that wore funny looking dress things (ah! No! Mental picture of Ayame dressed drag! *cries to herself*) he sure was ho-ot. With the two Oh's.
I was hugging Ayame!! I was *actually* hugging Ayame! Oh wait.. what was that?!? OH MY GOD! AYAME IS GROPING ME. EEEEEEK!!
"Oooooooouuuuuuuucccccchhhhh! Tooooooori, that hurt!!!" Ayame whined and let go of me.
Hatori gave the same warning to Ayame as he had Shigure earlier, "Don't touch her."
"But why!! She's in the prime of her youth, a sweet blossom ready to be won over by the heart of a handsome man. And, might I add, she gives tremendous hugs!!" ^_^ Okay, so he wasn't used to giving hugs. I could deal with that.
"I said. Do not touch her."
"Alrighty!" ^_^ Ayame went gallivanting to his younger brother, slapping him on the back. "I am sure my dearest brother has already *made the moves* on this fine woman!! He is not dense enough to pass the opportunity to find the one girl in the history of the Sohmas to be able to hug the Juunishi!!!"
I couldn't stop blushing. Okay, so Ayame was reeeally sexy in that red dress thing, and he was trying to hook me up with Yuki! Po-lease. Tohru already had him wrapped around her little finger!!
I walked into the inn, ignoring the commotion outside. Everything was marvelous inside. I could smell food being cooked from the kitchen. Steady songs that reminded me of a Zen garden played quietly from speakers. Eep! I couldn't wait for the hot spring! ^_^
Someone had walked in and stood behind me. I turned to see Haru staring around. Smiling probably wasn't even on his mind. -_-;; What a cold stone face. He bent down and took the suitcase I had dropped at my side. Ritsu and Tohru came in, giggling about something or other.
"Oh! I'm sorry!!! Let me show you to your room!!" Ritsu had a minor panic attack and showed the three of us to our rooms. The table was stacked high with food, ready to be eaten. "Let me go get the others." Ritsu left quickly out of the room.
"Awesome!!" Tohru sat down, breathing in the aroma the food produced. "Come sit next to me, Kita."
Haru dispersed of his coat and threw it over my suitcase. The three of us sat on one side of the table. I checked my chin to make sure I wasn't drooling.
"Food Food Food!" Momiji came dancing in, sitting opposite of Tohru. "Be sure to eat a lot, Tohru!"
"Hai!"
Shortly afterwards, everyone else came filing in. Ayame was sure to sit across from me, but also near Yuki so they could have their *bonding* time.
The food was delicious. Consequently, it made me drowsy. Everyone chatted around me while my body threatened to fall backwards. Tohru saw me lazily swaying back and forth and suggested we leave for the hot spring. "The weather has gotten cooler since the sun set! It should be pretty outside!" She grabbed Kagura's and my wrist and led us towards the bath.
We walked outside in towels, slowly edging our way into the water. Tohru held the plastic covered frame close to her, wading in.
Tohru was right. Tiny lights sparkled from all over the garden. Large trees cast shadows around, making it eerily romantic. So cool! ^_^
The hot water was soooo relaxing. I was afraid to fall asleep in there. What a horrible way to die! Drowning in a hot spring. *sigh* I leaned against a rock and closed my eyes, letting the steam manipulate my dreams.
*SPLASH* Water came pouring down onto me, waking me up. I slipped from my sitting position and fell into the water. Wah! Such a peaceful evening ruined!!! I got up, glaring around to find the culprit.
Tohru was sitting next to me, humming to herself. The photo of her mother was enclosed protectively in a hug. Kagura was up with me, clenching her fist in anger.
There were some giggles behind the separator of the baths. Momiji splashed again, sending a wave of water towards the women's bath.
"Sit down, Momiji." Hatori's voice sounded tired, yet still contained the forcing tone that caused him to stop.
"Awe, but I want to play with Tohru, Kagura and Kita!!" He began crying, asking if he could go into our bath.
"Ah, such a strong willed man!" Ayame admired, going soft on Momiji.
Shigure sat next to Ayame, grinning stupidly. "Aya, where are you sleeping tonight?" ^_^
"Where else, Shi??" Ayame bat his eyelashes flirtatiously. "Unless Yuki would like to share a room with his dear brother!"
"I'd rather sleep with baka-neko."
"WHAT?!?" Kyou stood up, ready to fight Yuki.
"Sit down. I was exaggerating."
Kyou kicked the water, but listened and sat back down.
Ritsu proposed a suggestion. "Well, mother and I had it planned out as so: Hatori, Ayame and Shigure would share a room. Yuki and Haru would share a bed in the same room with Kyou and Momiji."
Yuki's face went blank after remembering the car ride here. "I refuse to sleep with a cow."
Momiji whined, "Let me stay with Tohru!!"
"Kyou can stay in my room!!" Kagura announced, peeking over the separator.
"DON'T LOOK OVER HERE!!" Kyou yelled, splashing water in her face.
"Wah! Kyou doesn't love me any more!!" Kagura whimpered and sat back down in the bath.
At the time everyone started going to bed, the sleeping arrangements were as Ritsu had declared earlier. I, luckily, got my own bed while Kagura and Tohru shared.
Before falling asleep, I heard the loud crash of thunder and the pouring of rain. Thank God it hadn't been stormy earlier.
~*~
Kita: Yay, another chapter done! Bwuhahaha. and the introduction of my favorite character Ayame! *drools*
Ayame: Ha ha ha!! Yes, bow down to my godly body!!!
Fangirls: Ooo! Aah!!
Yuki: Sit down, serpent demon.
Kita: *huggles Ayame* He's not a demon!!!
Shigure: Aya, what happened to us!!! ;_;
Hatori: Calm down, Shigure.
Shigure: Yesh Tori!!
Kyou: LET ME GOO!!! *ish being attacked by Kagura*
Kita: Anyhoo, I hope you enjoyed my story! You can save the rain forest by reviewing. I swear it!! -_-;;

Hatori shook his head while Shigure chuckled a little. I raised my hand to smack myself on the head.
Tohru had lifted the three smaller animals, a rabbit, cat and mouse in her arms and was rushing around in a circle, wondering what to do. "Gomen na sai!! I'm sorry!!" As she was running around like a chicken with its head cut off, she bumped into the large cow of Haru.
"Calm down, Tohru!" Momiji squealed as she hugged the animals tighter.
"It's okay, it's not your fault." -_-;; Yuki just shook his head, unable to resist Tohru's panicking.
"It's the fat cow's entire fault!" Kyou shouted, his ears moving in anger.
"Tohru, set them down so they can change back to human form," Hatori said calmly.
"Hai!" She obeyed, setting them down gently. The *ping* of the four boys transforming sounded.
Dammit, Shigure had covered my eyes. Such a spoiler -_-;
I heard Tohru scream and a loud thud. I peeked through Shigure's fingers and saw the aftermaths of Tohru bumping into the wall. She was standing there, just kind of staring at the wall rubbing her forehead.
"Tohru, are you alright?" Yuki finished buttoning up his shirt and touched her shoulder carefully.
"Hai! Yes, I'm fine!!" She turned around, a stupefied expression written on her face.
Haru had settled down, returning to normal. "Momiji, don't ask again."
"But-but-" he whined, staring at me with big eyes. "Fine." His gloomy face quickly changed into a large smile. He grabbed my wrist and started skipping (a fifteen year old guy skipping? What the hell, he looks cute doing it) back down the stairs. Haru, Kyou, Yuki and Tohru followed soon after.
"Did Haru steal your first kiss?" Momiji asked, pulling on my sleeve. We all sat lazily around as if ready for a game of truth or dare. Hehe, that'd be fun.

"Who was it with?" Tohru asked, her eyes wide with wonder. "Was it love- love??"
"It was not love-love!" I crossed my arms defiantly and stared away from everyone.
"Well, who was it??" Momiji repeated for Tohru.
"Baca."
"You kissed a guy named Baka!! Ha ha ha!!" Kyou had stood up, pointing his finger at me. Oooh. how I loathe thee.
"HIS NAME WAS NOT BAKA!!! It was B-A-C-A!!!" I pulled my arms to my sides and stamped my feet like a toddler. "Stupid stupid Baca," I added under my breath.
"What happened? Why would you kiss him if it wasn't love-love?" Yuki asked, a little frightened of how I was acting.
I rubbed my chin, reminiscing on how I had torched all the notes and photos of him. "Ohohohoho," I cackled menacingly. "We were boyfriend and girlfriend, he wanted to show some affection, I guess."
"So. why did you break up?" Haru chirped with thoughts of Rin in his head.

"KYOOOOOOU! LOVE OF MY LIFE!!!!!" Kagura came running towards Kyou, pouncing him with a death hug.

"Oh! I'm sorry!!! Let me show you to your room!!" Ritsu had a minor panic attack and showed the three of us to our rooms. The table was stacked high with food, ready to be eaten. "Let me go get the others." Ritsu left quickly out of the room.
"Awesome!!" Tohru sat down, breathing in the aroma the food produced. "Come sit next to me, Kita."
Haru dispersed of his coat and threw it over my suitcase. The three of us sat on one side of the table. I checked my chin to make sure I wasn't drooling.
"Food Food Food!" Momiji came dancing in, sitting opposite of Tohru. "Be sure to eat a lot, Tohru!"
"Hai!"
Shortly afterwards, everyone else came filing in. Ayame was sure to sit across from me, but also near Yuki so they could have their *bonding* time.
The food was delicious. Consequently, it made me drowsy. Everyone chatted around me while my body threatened to fall backwards. Tohru saw me lazily swaying back and forth and suggested we leave for the hot spring. "The weather has gotten cooler since the sun set! It should be pretty outside!" She grabbed Kagura's and my wrist and led us towards the bath.
We walked outside in towels, slowly edging our way into the water. Tohru held the plastic covered frame close to her, wading in.
Tohru was right. Tiny lights sparkled from all over the garden. Large trees cast shadows around, making it eerily romantic. So cool! ^_^
The hot water was soooo relaxing. I was afraid to fall asleep in there. What a horrible way to die! Drowning in a hot spring. *sigh* I leaned against a rock and closed my eyes, letting the steam manipulate my dreams.
*SPLASH* Water came pouring down onto me, waking me up. I slipped from my sitting position and fell into the water. Wah! Such a peaceful evening ruined!!! I got up, glaring around to find the culprit.
Tohru was sitting next to me, humming to herself. The photo of her mother was enclosed protectively in a hug. Kagura was up with me, clenching her fist in anger.
There were some giggles behind the separator of the baths. Momiji splashed again, sending a wave of water towards the women's bath.
"Sit down, Momiji." Hatori's voice sounded tired, yet still contained the forcing tone that caused him to stop.
"Awe, but I want to play with Tohru, Kagura and Kita!!" He began crying, asking if he could go into our bath.
"Ah, such a strong willed man!" Ayame admired, going soft on Momiji.
Shigure sat next to Ayame, grinning stupidly. "Aya, where are you sleeping tonight?" ^_^
"Where else, Shi??" Ayame bat his eyelashes flirtatiously. "Unless Yuki would like to share a room with his dear brother!"
"I'd rather sleep with baka-neko."
"WHAT?!?" Kyou stood up, ready to fight Yuki.
"Sit down. I was exaggerating."
Kyou kicked the water, but listened and sat back down.
Ritsu proposed a suggestion. "Well, mother and I had it planned out as so: Hatori, Ayame and Shigure would share a room. Yuki and Haru would share a bed in the same room with Kyou and Momiji."
Yuki's face went blank after remembering the car ride here. "I refuse to sleep with a cow."
Momiji whined, "Let me stay with Tohru!!"
"Kyou can stay in my room!!" Kagura announced, peeking over the separator.
"DON'T LOOK OVER HERE!!" Kyou yelled, splashing water in her face.
"Wah! Kyou doesn't love me any more!!" Kagura whimpered and sat back down in the bath.
At the time everyone started going to bed, the sleeping arrangements were as Ritsu had declared earlier. I, luckily, got my own bed while Kagura and Tohru shared.
Before falling asleep, I heard the loud crash of thunder and the pouring of rain. Thank God it hadn't been stormy earlier.
