Kita's Invasion
Disclaimer: In short, I don't own these characters. I don't own the story in which these characters came from. And I don't own the creator in which the story came from. Soo, please keep that in mind while reading (and reviewing *puts on innocent look*) my fandomosity. Yess. So please enjoy and keep an open mind while reading my story. Some bits of it might not make sense, but laugh anyways and just skip over it.
Kita: Hello, hello my darling reviewers! Erm.. I mean readers! Yeah, that's it!! ^_^;; The world is full of blah and I am but a blah-mutant. I have no idear where that came from; I'm a smidgen on the tired side and will probably fall asleep in the middle of this here monologue. *closes eyes for them to rest. Yeah, that's it, rest…* WAI!!! It's only 7:40!! Anyshoe, I haven't a clue where I'm going with this fanfic… I just know its bloody fun to write. Soo, I'm up for any suggestions you might have. I really don't know why I had this thing categorized as romance, so I guess I must add a bit of mush in here somewhere. I doubt if it makes its way into this chapter.

"Twister!"
"What on earth is Twister? Should I know? I'm sorry! SORRY FOR NOT KNOWING!!!!" Ritsu fell to his knees and began crawling towards my feet. Eep, creepy man. Get away!! Get away!! He'd be rather nice looking if he weren't so girly. A little like Ayame with copper hair.
"No! It's alright for you not to know!! It's a physical contact game. Here, see?" I turned around and pulled out my magical authoress wand. Yup, I got a magical authoress wand! Anyshoe, I pulled it out and POOF, there was a twister game all laid out for us. Hopefully we wouldn't be too loud and wake Kyou up. "One person stays out of the game and spins the spinner doohickey like so." I spun the doohickey and it landed on the red spot for left hand. "The spinner would call out 'Left hand on red!' and all the players would find a red spot and put their left hand on it. It's easy as that! The first person who falls or their bum touches the ground looses. That's when the spinner and the looser switch positions, so everyone gets a chance to play!"
"It sounds dangerous." Tohru looked wearily at the Twister mat. "Are you sure I'll be able to play?"
"As long as you don't get a bloke underneath you, sure. Oh, and as long as a bloke doesn't get on top of you… erm, you know what, perhaps you can spin." Poor girl, she'll have to be the permanent spinner. What a boring job. "We can play twister later with you, Kagura, Uo, Hana, and me." Yay, she smiled, we can get on with the game.
~*~
Haru and Momiji were automatically out. Kagura was out after rendezvousing with Yuki underneath Ritsu's left leg. I was arched backwards over Ritsu, who was nearly twisted every which way across the mat. Yuki was crouched down like a frog ready to pounce over Ritsu who was leaning over him to the red spot. It was like a human stack of pancakes.
"Right foot green!" Tohru shouted out behind the spinner.
Yuki and I toppled over.
"Ai! Ouch ouch ouch!" I clashed into Yuki's head as we met on the ground. "Are you alright?"
"Yes, I think so." He rubbed the side of his head. "Your skull is hard."
"Oh, well excuse me for being hardheaded."
"That's the wrong phrase!" Yuki shook his head impatiently. "You're a lot like baka-neko."
"Pff, you two aren't that different, rodent."
"Hey, stop fighting!" Kagura and Tohru were towering over Yuki and me as if we were bad behaving toddlers.
"I'M SORRY!!! IT'S ALL MY FAULT FOR WINNING! PLEASE PUNISH ME!!!" Ritsu fell to his knees in front of Yuki and bowed his head to the floor.
"What a masochist," Yuki groaned, looking down at Ritsu. "It's not your fault."
"Yeah, that's right, it's mine!" I helped Ritsu up and dusted off his shoulders. "Nobody wants to punish you anyways. Although you might not realize it, it isn't important to cry over spilt milk."
"No matter how many times you tell Ritsu that, he won't listen," Momiji whispered as if he shouldn't be talking. Hello, Momiji, Ritsu is still in the room! Think you could save your little comments for later?!?
"It's only because he cares so much about everyone!" Kagura protested. "He wants to make sure he doesn't burden us with anything!"
"Don't you realize he DOES burden us with his constant apologizing?" Momiji covered Haru's mouth as soon as it crossed his lips. Stupid Haru. Why did he have to go and say that? Ritsu's eyes were watering…
"Ehh… hehehehehehe, come on Ritsu, let's go find something sweet to eat!" I grabbed his arm and dragged him out into the hall. When we were finally out of the room I let go of his arm and linked it with mine. "You know, Ritsu, I'm always being ridiculed at home for apologizing too much. But if you don't apologize, everything will be left undone, ne?"
"I know…. I know I should learn to calm down." Ritsu had his head bowed down, his hair coming over his eyes so I couldn't tell if he was crying or not. "But what else can I do?"
I tightened my arm around his and looked up at his face. "You can smile every once in a while. That always helps someone." We had made our way outside on the porch near the baths. The rain was pouring steadily onto the leaves of the trees and plants, distorting the light hidden in their branches. "A smile is the best apology one can give."
~*~
"Baka!! What on earth was going on inside your head when you said that?!?" Yuki tossed a pillow at Haru's head and fell to the ground next to Tohru. "He's sensitive to what others think about him."
"He was agitating me," was Haru's simple defense. "Someone had to say it."
"No, they didn't have to say it." Yuki crossed his arms and stared blankly at Haru. "You should apologize to Ritsu."
Across the room, Kagura was sitting at the bedside of Kyou, patting a cold washcloth against his forehead. Momiji hopped behind her to see over her shoulder. "Is he dead?!?!"
"No, my sweetheart only has a fever. He would never leave me." Kagura tucked a piece of orange hair behind his ear.
"Yeah right," Momiji giggled, still hopping around Kagura's back.
"What Did You Say?" Kagura had done a face drop and turned slowly towards Momiji, a glint of fire in her eyes. "KYOU WOULD NEVER LEAVE ME!!!" She stood up and grabbed Momiji's neck, flailing him back and forth.
"KYA! Ssssssssstttttttttttttttttttooooooooooooppppppppp!!" Crying, Momiji called out for Tohru. "Sssssssssaaaaaaaaaaaaaaavvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeee mmmmmmmmmmmeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!"
"Kagura… Kagura… Don't you think you should calm down?" ^^;;
"What is all this noise?" Kyou woke up irritably, throwing the washcloth off his head. "Shut Up Momiji!"
"KYOU!!!" Kagura dropped back to a sitting position and wrapped her arms around Kyou in a death grip. "I knew you wouldn't leave me!"
"Eh? What are you talking about? ….. GET OFF!!!"
~*~
Raindrops kept falling on Ritsu's head as he walked away from me and into the grass. His eyes were red, but I couldn't tell if he was crying or not. The rain fell over his face to substitute the tears.
"You'll catch a cold if you stay out there too long-" But before I could finish, Ritsu had grabbed my arm and pulled me out in the rain with him.
"Don't you think… if it rained all the time, people would be happier?" He tilted back his head and opened his mouth to catch water. Eeh, Ritsu was acting crazier than usual.
"Why would you say that?" I looked down at my muddy socks and clicked my heels. Darn it, we weren't back inside the inn. Where are those stupid ruby slippers when you need them.
"People wouldn't be able to tell if they were crying or not. The rain would wash it all away before you could realize it." Ritsu grabbed my chin and pulled my face upwards. "Don't look down." He wiped the wet hair out of my face and smiled. "People need to see the smile for it to count." Heh, what a weirdo. ^____^
"Ritsu, is that yoooooou??" A window to the recreational room opened up and Shigure's face popped out. He stuck out an arm and waved. "Ki-ta! Ritsu! Come inside, we're getting ready to leave!"
"Shi, close the window!! My hair is getting wet!"
"Coming, Aya!!" The window closed shut quickly and Shigure was gone.
~*~
"Thanks for letting us stay, Ritsu. Tori is going to drive us home. Stay safe and keep out of trouble while I'm away!" Shigure clapped his hand over Ritsu's shoulder and smiled. "My bed sheets were a little itchy last night. Perhaps there was too much starch?" ^_^
"GOMEN NA SAI!!!"
"Ohohohohohohohoho. I'm only kidding!" Shigure helped Ritsu up from his collapsed form and smiled. "Don't be so uptight."
"Shiiiiiigure." Momiji pulled on the sleeve of his robe and began whining. "You forgot us."
"Oh yeah, Aya will be taking Momiji, Haru and Kagura home. We will all see you later, take care!" We all gave our individual goodbyes and piled into the back of Hatori's car. Kyou and I sat in the back while Tohru and Yuki sat in front of us. I'm sure Yuki and Kyou were only trying to avoid another episode of sleep-affection. Hehehehehehe. KAWAII!
Kyou grunted and positioned his shoulder against the window so he could fall asleep without his head beating against the side every time Hatori hit a bump in the road. Awe, he was still groggy from the rain.
"You could lean on my shoulder, you know. It might be more comfortable."
"I'm Fine!" Geez, I was only trying to help out.
The car hit a huge bump in the road. If it weren't for my seatbelt, I would have gone flying up a seat next to Tohru. Kyou went flying also, his head hitting the window hard. Eep, it made me wince a bit.
"Damn!" Kyou grabbed the side of his head and sank back in his seat. "Watch where you're going, Hatori!!!"
"My shoulder still stands for an offer," I suggested, scooting closer to him. "It isn't as bony as it looks."
"Fine, but only because I'm tired. Don't misunderstand." He leaned down and rested his head on my shoulder. He was soon off to dreamland.
"Kita, do you know how to sew?" Tohru and Yuki both turned around to talk with me. "I have an idea for a cosplay outfit, but I don't think I would be very good at making it."
"What did you want to do? I could help you with it. I'm not too bad at stitching."
"I was thinking of making a Teletubbies costume! Perhaps the little red one."
"Eeh…. I'll see what I can do." ¬_¬;;
Out of nowhere, Kyou wrapped his arm around my waist. "WAH?!?! Kyou, are you awake?!?" I peeled open one of his eyes to see it rolling in the back of his head. "Kyyyyoooooouuuuu." Sure, it was just for support so he wouldn't go sliding off the seat… BUT COULDN'T HE FIND ANOTHER WAY?!? "KYOU WAKE UP!!"
"Will win.,… rat…."
Aaawwwwweee, he was sleep talking! ^_^
We made it the rest of the way home with just a tad of the drooling bit from Kyou while Yuki and Tohru exchanged garden tidbits. I myself nearly fell asleep, but was too self-conscious about the salivating Kyou.
"Did you know broccoli is the plural for broccolo?" Yuki chimed in with his gardening expertise as the car came to a stop in front of the house.
I began poking at Kyou, trying to wake him up. "Kyou," I began to whisper, trying not to give him a disturbing wake up call. The sun was starting to shine through the clouds, so he would have his spunk back by tomorrow, but I would much rather him jump up and off me right now. "Kyou… KYOU GET OFF!!!"
"Wah… what?" He shook his mass of orange hair and wiped the drool off with the back of his hand. "Oh, we're home already?"
"Of course, baka-neko," Yuki taunted from outside the car. "Hurry up before Kita drowns from your drooling."
"If I weren't so tired, I would come back with a lame [yet witty] retort!! DAMN RAT!!!" Kyou jumped out of the car-
-but fell flat on his face before he could chase after Yuki.
"Kyou, are you all right??" Tohru ran to his side and helped him up. "Should I make tea?? I'll go make some tea. And dinner. Yes, I'll make dinner, too. That should make you feel better!"
Dear Lord, with Yuki's gardening and Tohru's cooking, they would make a perfect match. Yes, a perfect match…
"Kyou! I have an idea!!!" I dragged him to his feet and all the way upstairs to his room.
"Play nice!" Shigure yelled as we passed by. I locked the door to Kyou's room and threw him on the floor.
"I have a plan!"
"What are you talking about!?" Kyou stood back up and started stampeding towards me with his fists clenched. Geez, calm down already. Rain sure does put Kyou in a bad mood!
"Yuki and Tohru!! If we got them together… you know… love-love, Yuki would be out of your hair for a while!"
"Out of… my hair?"
"Yeah, you know… Too busy with Tohru to mess with you!"
"Feh, they already spend a lot of time together. That doesn't stop him."
"What are you talking about?!?!? Love-love is waaay different from just being friends!! It means dating ALL the time, go EVERYWHERE together, loads of snogging and whatnot."
Kyou knocked the side of my head with his fist. "Are you stupid?!? They ARE together all the time, and she CAN'T snog him!!"
"Nani?" @_@
"WE'RE CURSED, IDIOT!!! WE CAN'T BE SNOGGED!!!"
"Well, you don't have to get feisty about it. Still, having a lover is different than friendship. You just haven't experienced it yet. You'll know one day."
"Kya, I don't think I want to have a lover if it takes too much time. Kagura is enough of a pain without being my lover."
"That isn't nice! I bet if I asked Momiji he'd be more than excited to help execute my plan."
"Hah! Well I'm not that brat! So you can go find him for help." He pushed me aside and headed for the door.
"KYOU!" I leaped and jumped on his back, pulling at his orange hair. "Help meeeee, please!!!"
"LET GO!! KITA!!!!!"
"Not Until You Agree To Help!!" I bit his ear and pulled harder on his hair. He will never be able to resist my wrath!! Fwuhahahahahahahhaha!!
"FINE! Just let me go!"
Hah, I knew it.
"Say you'll help me!"
"Alright, alright! I'll help you!"
"Say you will fulfill this mission to get Tohru and Yuki to fall in love."
"I will fulfill my mission!!!!"
"Say you'll go downstairs and make me some riceballs!"
"NO!"
"Be that way!" I let go of him and fell to the ground. "Now then, let's get started on this here mission. Operation Love-Love." I laughed and fell back, staring up at Kyou's ceiling. "This will also fulfill the Romance category I have on the story."
"You're pathtic."
"Oui, monsieur."
Kyou came and lay next to me, folding his arms beneath his head. "So, Captain Kita, what's our plan?"
"Eh… I'm not quite sure."
~*~
Kita: MY NAME IS HIRO, I AM FIFTY-ONE. SINCE 1980 LIFE HAS BEEN NO FUN. AND IIIIIII DON'T WANT TO DIE, I LEFT MY FAMILY FOR THE SECRETARY!!! *ah ah* *ah ah* *ah ah*

Tohru: I think Kita is singing nicely….
Shigure: You must be tone deaf ¬_¬

Yuki: You could have given us a kinder someone.
Kyou: Shut up, rodent! You just want it to be Tohru!
Yuki: *blushes* Quiet, baka-neko!!! That's a lie!
Shigure: Now, now, what more do you need in your lives than two high school girls sharing a house with you??? ^_^ 3
