Hiya! This is my second fic! Yay! Please r&r and pleeease try not to hate it...*sniffles*...pwetty pwease? *cough* Anyways, just read. Oh, and if someone, anyone, can please, please, give me other suggestions for titles, 'cause I think my title sucks...
Oh, and I also don't own Furuba, so don't sue me, 'cause I don't have the time, so...umm...sue me when I have more time and enough money to waste.
A slender, dark-haired youth lightly brushed a strand of hair from his eyes, and stretched, trying to wake up, but being unsuccessful.
I hate mornings.
"Yuki-kun, it's time to wake uuuppp!! Or we'll be late and Tohru-kun will be unhappy!"
Shigure...I'm going to kill you when I come down there.
But with a rustling of sheets, he left the warmth of his bed, lost his footing and fell down to the floor with a thud. Ow. I'm never this clumsy, even in the mornings. Not even the baka-neko is. I have a bad feeling about today.
Yuki got up, and moved to his closet. Thoughts of yesterday night came back to him.
A handsome man, presumably somewhere in his late-twenties and by the name of Souma Shigure came prancing into the room, smiling happily and severely freaking out as well as disgusting some of the occupants of the room.
"Guess whaaat?! Come oooon!! Guess! Guess!" Shigure smiled and set himself down at the table.
Tohru Honda smiled innocently and poured him a cup of hot green tea, "Have some tea, Shigure-san, and tell us what happened."
Yuki simply glared at him evilly and chose to ignore that baka, Shigure. Meanwhile, his hot-headed, red-haired cousin, Souma Kyou immediately blew up at Shigure.
"Don't manipulate Tohru! Besides it's probably just another of your sick high school-girl fantasies!!"
Shigure's eyes watered, and he gave a pout, though anyone could see that his eyes were laughing still, "Kyou-kun is sooooo mean!! Isn't he Tohru-kun?! Besides, I thought you all deserved a break, so I booked a small ship for a nice day out at sea!! I get no thanks!"
"I'm so sorry! I shouldn't have appeared to be so ungrateful! I'llgo with you, Shigure-san!" Tohru said immediately, her eyes bright and cheerful.
Shigure smiled evilly, and immediately turned to Kyou and Yuki who had not spoken at all during the whole conversation. "Ne, Yuki and Kyou will be coming right? Unless you want me to go ALONE with TOHRU, I don't MIND though. That is, if you guys TRUST me with TOHRU, ALONE..."
Shigure continued to smile evilly and put extra emphasis on those few important words.
Kyou and Yuki both glared at Shigure simultaneously and thought, 'Damn, manipulated by that stupid dog again!'
Kyou gave Shigure a final glare, "Humph, I'll go."
Yuki also agreed, trying to sound enthusiastic so that Honda-san would not worry.
Yuki pulled on a soft silk shirt made in an oriental design in dark blue colours. He then slowly fastened up the knot-style buttons, straightened his collar, and stepped out of his room, fully dressed and ready. At the bottom of the stairs he saw the baka-neko.
What a way to start the day, the first person I see is that baka neko.
He simply walked past him, without even saying good morning to the cat and made his way to the kitchen, where the person he wanted to see would surely be.
Tohru.
He peeked into the small kitchen and there she was, smiling that innocent smile of hers and making sandwiches for the picnic they were bringing onto the boat. Egg, ham, tuna, cheese, and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Yuki couldn't help but smile at her.
Tohru spread her arms to the sky and took a deep breath of the salty sea air, "The sea is soooo beautiful!"
The other occupants of the boat smiled at her, including Kyou. They all knew that the purpose of this trip was actually to get Tohru to relax more because she was working too hard.
The weather stayed beautiful, till they were far out at sea, and then the clouds started rolling in. Fast. Everyone scrambled to get into the cabins where it was safe and dry.
Suddenly a large wave crashed over the deck, and Tohru, who had just been getting into the cabin found herself being washed away.
No!
Yuki immediately lunged forward to grab her hand. He succeeded. Yes! Then, another wave hit and he was forced to let go. No! Tohru!
The three watched as Tohru was washed away by the tall, furious waves.
No! No...Tohru...I'm so useless! Useless! Stupid, stupid!
But all he could do was stare at the endless, stormy waters helplessly; praying.
TO BE CONTINUED!
