THE NEXT MORNING!!!!
Kyo woke up early the next day. But then again, it's not like he woke up an earlier than he usually does, he's just an early riser. He was probably ready to go and workout or something because that's what Kyo does first thing in the morning but instead he decided to just go and have some breakfast. He leisurely made his way to the dining room area and sat down at their large circular table all by himself with his breakfast that he picked up. He was just about to take a bite of his toast when he suddenly looked out the window to see water as far as he could see. He stood up and made his way over to the window. There was no land on any side of him! No one told KYO that this cruise was going to be more than just cruising around the harbor for an hour or two!! Now they were full fledged out in the ocean with water everywhere and Kyo was NOT happy cat!!
He would have gone back to his windowless room to rant to everyone but he decided against it for numerous reasons.
1) Everyone was probably going to sleep for another three or four hours and though he'd LOVE to wake Yuki up prematurely, he didn't want to deal with the other two.
2) He'd have to walk ALL the way back to the room.
3) His breakfast would get cold.
4) Tohru (who's ALSO an early riser) had just walked into the dining room carrying her breakfast tray.
"You're up early Kyo!" Tohru sang as she sat down next to him.
"I ALWAYS get up this early." Said Kyo. Then he paused. "Tohru…we're in the middle of the ocean…"
"Well, not really the middle but we're pretty far out!" said Tohru excitedly. "This cruise is going to be so much fun!"
"WHAT'S SO FUN ABOUT FLOATING AROUND IN THE OCEAN?!" Kyo yelled as he lost his temper right then and there.
"I'M SORRY!" Tohru winced. "But it WILL be fun…there'll be lots of activities to do and we'll make a few stops along the way and do things at those places. I'm not sure exactly what there is to do but I'm sure it'll be lots of fun! I'm sure you'll find something that you enjoy!"
"No I won't." whined Kyo. "I want to go back now!"
"Well, it's a little late now…" said Tohru with THE most apologetic face in the world. Suddenly, a little light bulb went off in Tohru's head. "The others won't be waking up any time soon so why don't we go and do one of the fun early morning activities!"
Before Kyo could answer, she pulled out a schedule of the day that she had picked up. "We can play shuffleboard…um…swim in the pool…bingo…oh wait, we're too young for that. Seniors only!" then she laughed a little as if that were even funny at all. "Oh look! We can get our haircut for fifty percent off until 8:00am!"
"Our haircut?" asked Kyo with a raised eyebrow.
"Hm…perhaps not." Said Tohru with a laugh. "I only READ it! It's not like I was actually thinking about getting it cut!" Then she glanced at the schedule again. "Hey! There's a comedian show starting in ten minutes! Do you want to go to that?!"
"Sure…whatever." Said Kyo as he allowed Tohru to drag him off to the comedian's room where they sat down in one of the many empty booth thingys and waited for the show to start.
MEANWHILE!!
Kisa turned around in her bed and opened her eyes slowly. She was a little surprised to see that someone was in her bed, namely Hiro, so she sat up quickly but then she remembered telling him that he could be there so she lied back down.
But now she was officially awake! But what could she do?! She stood up to go and wake Tohru up to ask her if she could do something with her so she shook who she thought was Tohru only to see that she had just waken up Kagura!!
"Kyo…" Kagura moaned as she woke up because she has 'Kyo-turret-syndrome' and randomly spouts his name off. It's a good thing she didn't yell it or else she would have waken everyone else up.
"Oh…sorry Kagura…" said Kisa. "I thought you were Tohru."
"It's okay." Said Kagura as she sat up. Now SHE was officially awake. So the two now officially awake girls decided to leave the room before they officially woke anyone else up as well.
"So what should we do?" asked Kagura as she pulled out a schedule. "OOOH!! Karaoke!! I'm all over that!!"
Then, without asking Kisa if she even wanted to, she dragged her off to the Karaoke room where there was practically no one because while it wasn't as early as it was with Tohru and Kyo, it was still pretty early.
Kagura walked right up to the guy, grabbed the microphone and started singing her random song that she made up about Kyo with no music.
"You can be my back-up singer, Kisa!" said Kagura enthusiastically.
MEANWHILE!!
Ayame stumbled into his room in a heap of tired Ayameness. He had been out ALL night partying!! He was greeted at the door by Kureno who was just about to open to door to go and have some Cornflakes.
"Ah! Ayame!" said Kureno. "Now I don't have to go down by myself!"
"Need…sleep…" said Ayame as Kureno latched arms with him and dragged him back out the door and to the dining hall.
MEANWHILE!!
"THE FROGS IN THE POND ARE CALLING!!" sang Momiji as he and Haru skipped down the hall. Actually, Momiji skipped, Haru casually walked with his hands tucked in his pockets and his button down shirt partially unbuttoned and he looked very sexy. As a matter of fact, he didn't walk casually, he walked SEXILY!
There were a few yells from random rooms telling Momiji to shut up because he was singing very loudly, very early in the morning in a heavily populated area.
"What should we do?" asked Momiji more to himself than to Haru. Momiji had some sort of extremely flamboyant outfit on that was all pink and yellow and had bunny ears on it. And he wore tight leather Capri pants that were somewhat disturbing but most people think Momiji's a girl at first glance anyway so it doesn't matter!
Haru shrugged.
"Let's just go have breakfast." Said Momiji as he and Haru found that they had made their way to the dining room without realizing it. Momiji ran over to the cereal tray and picked out Trix.
"Silly rabbit." Said Haru. "Trix are for kids."
"I AM a kid!" said Momiji.
"Well you're also a rabbit." Said Haru.
"Well then you can't have this milk!" said Momiji. "Because you're a cow!"
"So?" asked Haru. "There's no stupid saying that says that I can't."
"Well, I just made one!"
"Give me the milk." Said Haru even though he was going to eat pancakes and they didn't need milk anyway. It was the PRINCIPLE of the thing now!
"No milk for cows!" Momiji sang. "If you want some, produce it yourself!"
"What?!" Haru asked as if he were appalled and insulted in every possible way.
Some crazy people behind them started yelling and asking questions but they were ignored.
MEANWHILE!!
"HA-SAN!!!" Shigure screamed as he pulled the covers off of Hatori and violently shook him awake while turning the light on and off numerous times. Yes. He has the numerous arms and hands required to perform these many tasks.
Hatori woke up and sat up, his hair all disheveled. He had this look of utter stupefication on his face but that was quickly replaced by a look of anger.
"Shigure, you will pay for that." Said Hatori.
"Let's do something!" Shigure sang. "Ayame and Kureno have already left so it's just you and me because this ship is so big it would just be impossible to even TRY to find them!"
Shigure then ripped his pajamas right off to reveal that he was wearing his little gray robe thingy that he always wears.
"Shigure…you're just like a dog." Said Hatori. "Easily excitable. Just don't pee on the carpet."
"HEY!" Shigure said. "I resent that!"
"Good." Said Hatori as he got out of bed and went into the bathroom to get showered, changed and cleaned.
"Wait!" said Shigure yelled through the door. "Was THAT my payback?! That INSULT?!"
"Um…sure." Said Hatori. "Sure it was."
Shigure sat there fidgeting impatiently as he waited for Hatori to finish with the grueling tasks that he was taking forever to finish.
When he finally was done, Shigure sprang up and dragged Hatori out the door.
"I figured that we could just skip breakfast and go do something FUN!!!" Shigure declared.
"Skip breakfast?" Hatori questioned.
"Yes." Said Shigure. "It's eleven o'clock. We can just wait until lunch and eat THEN."
"What?" Hatori demanded but civilly enough so he didn't require an exclamation point. "It's eleven o'clock? Why is it eleven o'clock?"
"I turned your alarm clock off and closed the shades." Shigure answered.
"Why would you do that?" Hatori said, looking annoyed.
"I think the proper question, Hatori, is why would you bring an alarm clock on a vacation and set it to wake you up at nine o'clock?" Shigure retorted.
"I always wake up at nine o'clock." Hatori replied. "If I wake up at any other time, my day is thrown off. Now I'm already two hours behind schedule."
"Schedule?!" demanded Shigure. "You HAVE no schedule!!"
"Shigure, in the future, don't touch my personal things." Hatori said. "I'll let it slide just this once."
At this point, they reached the deck.
"Wow!" said Shigure, running over to the railing. "We're really far out at sea! I can't see any land from here!"
"Of course." Said Hatori. "We were riding all night."
Shigure looked around and spotted the shuffleboard discs. "Ah!" he said. "Ha-san, let's play shuffleboard!"
"I'll watch." Hatori said.
"No!" yelled Shigure. "I can't play shuffleboard by MYSELF!! You MUST play with me!"
Hatori picked up one of the discs and tossed it like a Frisbee across the deck. He won the Frisbee Olympics back in third grade but he wasn't about to share that with anyone.
Shigure watched the disc fly away.
"Why did you do that?" he asked.
"Because." Hatori replied as he watched Shigure instinctively run after it.
"No really." Said Shigure, handing the disc back to Hatori. "Why'd you do that?"
"No reason." Hatori answered as he tossed the disc again. Of course, Shigure ran after it and then handed it back to him.
"Stop throwing them!" he scolded. "We can't play shuffleboard if you keep throwing them!"
MEANWHILE!!!
Hiro was having another dream filled with the assertive Kisa who fondles him. He finally found himself to awaken only to be faced, once again, WITH AKITO!! WHO WAS FONDLING HIM!!!
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" yelled Hiro, springing up to see that he was still in Kisa's bed alone in the girl's room. Alone…except for Akito. And Rin I guess…
"Why did you leave me last night?" Akito asked.
"I…uh…" Hiro stuttered.
"You are very special to me, my little sheep." Said Akito. "You are almost as special to me as Yuki. Let's go do something together."
"…What?" Hiro asked nervously.
Akito climbed down the ladder onto the floor and then put his arms out. "Here you go." He said. "If you fall, I will catch you."
"I'm not gonna fall…" Hiro said as he went to climb down the ladder.
"Very good." Said Akito as if that was Hiro's first time climbing down a ladder ever and he needed to be complimented so that he would do it again someday when he was feeling dangerous. "Let's go for a walk now."
"I was going to go and find…" started Hiro.
"A walk." Akito interrupted him, putting his hand out for Hiro to hold. Hiro only stared at him, horrified, until Akito's hand started twitching so Hiro grabbed onto Akito's hand with the mere thought of Akito sneaking up behind Kisa and pushing her off the boat.
MEANWHILE!!!
Ritsu and Rin woke up at the exact same time. They dressed in unison and opened their doors at the same time and met in the hallway. Then they simultaneously walked down the hallway on their way to a fun activity that they could do together.
It's a shame that Rin and Ritsu are in the same group because they will not prove to be very interesting so we won't pain you by continuously going to them.
MEANWHILE!!!
Yuki woke up last. He clothed himself in his most flamboyant princey clothing while leaving his pajamas on the floor for someone ELSE to clean up. He had no idea what time it was because of the lack of window in his room made it completely dark with the except of the Dairy Fairy nightlight which remained intact. Then he went out into the hallway and went to the girls room.
He knocked on the door. "Well, if no one's going to answer…" he said after an elapsed time of about a half a second after he had knocked. Then he opened the door to see that the room was empty. He didn't know what time it was here either because this room also did not have a window.
So he went across the hall to the other rooms and looked in them. Since these rooms had windows, he could see that it was very light outside. He could also see that no one was in their rooms.
"Did everyone wake each other up except me?!" Yuki demanded to himself. "Did they all go off and do something together and just decide to leave me behind? No…they wouldn't do that…I'm Yuki! I'm a prince! I'm the rat! They have no reason to leave me behind!"
Then he darted off down the hallway to find someone.
MEANWHILE!!!
"So do you think that the next comedian will be funnier than the last one?" asked Tohru. She and Kyo had been watching the comedians since eight o'clock and now it was noon. LORD!!
"Actually, I didn't find the last comedian to be funny at all." Kyo admitted.
"Well…maybe this one will be funnier!" said Tohru who was confused.
"Do you want to just go and do something else?" asked Kyo.
"What would you want to do?" asked Tohru since the comedian had been HER idea so it was now Kyo's turn to pick what they were going to do.
"I don't care…whatever you want to do." Kyo replied.
"Well…let's just go up to the deck." Said Tohru.
"And what would we do up there?" asked Kyo.
"I don't know." Said Tohru. "We could just walk and talk about all the funny comedians we just saw!"
"They weren't funny at all." Kyo said.
"Then we could talk about something else!" Tohru suggested. "Maybe the pools will be open now!"
"The last place I want to go is to a pool." Kyo said.
At that point, the comedian came on the stage.
"What do cows do in their leisure time?" said the comedian. "They go to the MOO-vies!"
And the drummer guy drummed.
And no one laughed. Except for Tohru.
"Wow!" said Tohru. "I'm telling that joke to Haru! He'd love it!"
"Actually, I think he'd hate it." Kyo replied.
"I don't know!" said Tohru. "I think he would like it."
"No." insisted Kyo. "He would hate it."
MEANWHILE!!!
"Kagura, do you think I could sing a song about Tohru now?" asked Kisa to Kagura who was still singing her Kyo song ever so many hours later.
"Okay!" said Kagura. "I love Tohru too so we can both sing about her!"
"HURRAH!!" said everyone in the karaoke room since they all love Tohru too.
MEANWHILE!!!
"Ayame, where are you going?" asked the Chicken.
"Somewhere else." Said Ayame. "I'm bored just sitting here staring at the wall!!"
"What?!" demanded the chicken. "That's my favorite past time!"
"That's the OPPOSITE of my favorite pass time!" Ayame yelled.
"Fine!" said Kureno, crossing his arms. "What do you want to do?"
"Let's go find Hatori and Shigure and party-harty!" said Ayame.
"Can't the two of us just party-harty without them?" asked the chicken.
"No," said Ayame. "We can't."
MEANWHILE!!!
"YAHOO!!!" screamed Momiji as he cannon balled into the salt water. (No, he didn't jump into the ocean. Some stupid person thought it would be a good idea to just put ocean water into the pools that were on the boat instead of fresh water.)
Just so you know, Momiji was wearing his feminine bathing suit and Haru was wearing his MAN'S bathing suit and just sitting by the pool being sexy.
"Come on in Haru!" Momiji called. "The water's fine!"
"Yes but as I found out earlier, it's got salt in it." Said Haru stoically. Earlier, Haru had decided that he would slide down the little slide into the pool. He hadn't been in the pool yet but what better way to enter the pool than to slide right in?! So Haru slid in and landed in the water with a splash.
Only to get out a second later rubbing the salt out of his eyes.
"Well, if you hadn't opened your eyes under water, they wouldn't hurt so much." Explained Momiji.
"Well, it's already happened." Said Haru.
"So you can come in now!"
"No." said Haru.
"Why not?!"
"I don't want it to happen again."
MEANWHILE!!
Hatori had sat down on a chair to enjoy a good smoke. Shigure was off fetching ALL shuffly disky thingys because Hatori had tossed them all and Shigure, with his canine instincts, simply felt compelled to retrieve them.
"Seriously Hatori." Said Shigure as he returned with all of them in his hands. "Don't throw them again. You're supposed to push them with the stick. I'm not going to get them next time."
"My mistake." Said Hatori as he extinguished his cigarette on his hand just like WOLVERINE!!! He also healed like Wolverine too because he's a seahorse and that's just another benefit of turning into a seahorse.
Just kidding. He kept it in his mouth. He didn't want to waste it.
"Okay, I won that last match, of course." Said Shigure as he tallied up the score in his head.
"Must we play this anymore?" Hatori said, looking at his watch. "Don't you suppose we should look for the others? It's lunch time."
"Don't be silly Hatori, you just want to eat." Said Shigure with a laugh.
"Yes." Said Hatori, not denying it at all.
"Well NO then!" said Shigure.
MEANWHILE!!!
"Now isn't this fun?" said Akito as he and Hiro walked down a hallway.
"We've been down this hallway a million times already." Said Hiro as they passed the grouping of four rooms again. "We've been walking back and forth for a really long time now."
"And isn't it just fun?" Akito practically insisted.
"Well…" started Hiro.
"Are you getting tired my little sheep?" Akito asked suddenly as if he were actually concerned. "With you like me to carry you?"
"Not particularly…" Hiro stuttered.
"Hm…how about we make our way upstairs?" suggested Akito as they came to the bottom of the stairs.
"Can't we take the elevator?" asked Hiro.
"No." said Akito. "I don't believe in elevators."
"What's upstairs that so important?" asked Hiro.
"Don't question me anymore or I shall lose my temper." Said Akito as he began to twitch. Hiro nodded and proceeded in walking to a large set of stairs. "I fear that I am all tired out from having to walk so much, my dear dear sheep."
"Should we go back to the room?" asked Hiro.
"Don't be ridiculous." Said Akito. "You shall carry me up the stairs."
Hiro groaned to himself. "Are you sure we can't take the elevator?"
"Elevators are the devil."
MEANWHILE!!
"So…" started Rin as she turned to Ritsu.
"I'M SO SORRY THAT I COULDN'T THINK OF ANYTHING INTERESTING TO SAY THIS ENTIRE TIME!!" Ritsu screamed. "OH GOMENASAI!! I AM A HORRIBLE PERSON AND SHOULD BE KILLED!!"
Ritsu then picked up a butter knife and thrust the handle into Rin's grip. He then slammed his head down on the table.
"CUT MY HEAD OFF AND RID THE WORLD OF MY PRESENCE!!" he yelled. "DO IT FAST SO THAT IT'S PAINLESS!! BETTER YET, DO IT SLOWLY SO I GET THE PAIN THAT I SO BADLY DESERVE!!!"
Rin looked at the butter knife and then put it down on the table.
"That…was strangely unpredictable." Said Rin slowly.
"What?" said Ritsu.
"Wait…you're a man, right?" Rin clarified quickly.
"Yes…I'M SO SORRY THAT YOU COULDN'T TELL…!!" Ritsu started as he was about to commit suicide again.
"Well, you're the unpredictable kind of guy that I've always wanted." Said Rin.
"GASP!!!" screamed Ritsu. "YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH ME!! I AM HORRIBLE!! I AM A TERRIBLE PERSON!!!"
"Yet…unpredictable!" Rin declared. "Do you want to go and sing karaoke with me or something?"
"I COULDN'T!!" screamed Ritsu. "TRUST ME, YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE SEEN IN PUBLIC WITH ME!! I AM A DISGRACE TO THE SOUMA NAME!!!"
MEANWHILE!!!
"I can't believe I've been looking around this entire boat for as long as I have been and still haven't found Tohru!" Yuki murmured to himself. "I still can't believe that she would leave me behind in the first place anyway…I have to make a point of waking up really early tomorrow morning…"
And he stomped around the corner because by this time, he was SURE that it MUST have been ALL KYO'S FAULT!!!
And when he stomped around the corner, he saw…KYO AND TOHRU!!! ARGH!!
They were standing at the edge of the boat just watching the water and the sky and the wind was blowing and they were laughing and looked like they were having a grand old time just talking.
"Talking in…quite the…romantic setting." Yuki mumbled under his breath. "Of course, it's not a date or anything. She had a date with me earlier when we went to go and pick up Hiro and Kisa so that means we're going out and Tohru isn't the kind to be a two-timer."
Yuki walked over to Kyo and Tohru and stood behind them ominously and began clearing his throat and coughing and trying any means possible of getting their attention. When that didn't work, he just stomped over and bitch slapped Kyo.
"WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!" Kyo demanded.
"You were bothering me." Said Yuki with a forced yawn.
"THAT DOES IT!!" Kyo yelled as his anger meter on the side just… EXPLODED. "You…me…RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW!!"
"In front of Tohru?" asked Yuki as he pointed to Tohru who was all flustered and nervous. "Look what you did to her. Your temper always makes her upset."
"She was FINE before YOU showed up!!" Kyo yelled.
"Please stop fighting!" Tohru said as she got in between the two of them. "We can watch the setting together!"
"Not with HIM." Said Yuki and Kyo at the same time.
"But…but…" started Tohru.
"Damn rat." Said Kyo.
"Stupid cat." Said Kyo. JUST KIDDING!! It was Yuki! I don't think Kyo's self-esteem is THAT low!! And even if it was, which it's not, it's not like Kyo's going to talk on two lines or anything WILD like that.
"TOHRU!!!" came a very obnoxious dub voice from the sky. They all turned around to see Momiji leaping through the air and then landing on Tohru which, excitingly enough, TURNED HIM INTO A RABBIT!! HURRAH!!!
"Oh!" said Tohru. "Hello Momiji!!"
"You can't just do that in public!!" yelled Kyo so loudly that is anger-o-meter overflowed and spilled all over Yuki who died because he was sizzled by the hot liquid. Just kidding. It was just some random guy, not Yuki. Yes, it actually did happen, just not to Yuki, as much as we would like it to happen to Yuki, it didn't.
"It's okay as long as no one was looking." Said Haru as he walked up too.
They all quickly glanced around to see that, thankfully, no one was looking.
"Okay, fine." Said Kyo as he tried to calm himself down.
"HEADS UP!!!" came Shigure's voice as he came running out of nowhere, leapt up into the air and then caught a flying shuffleboard disc just before it went hurtling into the ocean. "I CAUGHT IT!!!"
"What is it?" asked Tohru.
"It's a shuffleboard disc." Shigure replied.
"What was it doing flying through the air?" asked Tohru since she's a dumb ass. Then again, it's a logical question.
"Well, I think Hatori's a little confused when it comes to shuffleboard." Shigure replied. "For some reason, no matter how many times I tell him, we're playing shuffleboard, not Frisbee!"
"Oh!" said Tohru. "Hatori's here too? Let's all meet up together!" Then they all followed Shigure back to where Hatori was still lounging. He turned around, saw Shigure, reached for another shuffleboard disc and then noticed everyone else.
"Why don't you play shuffleboard with them instead?" Hatori suggested as he pointed to everyone who was behind Shigure.
"I would LOVE to!" said Tohru, always willing to do anything for someone else.
"As much as I would love to play with you, Tohru, my blossoming flower, I wanted to play with Hatori." Shigure sighed as he handed the disc that he had just retrieved to Hatori. "All right, Ha-san, let me show you how you're supposed to play."
"Don't worry Hatori!" said Tohru. "We're here to support you!"
"I WANNA PLAY!!" Momiji whined.
"I'll play." said Haru.
"Okay!" said Momiji even though he wanted to play with Tohru. Momiji, I think, has A.D.D. so he forgot about his desires to play with Tohru and frolicked off with Haru.
Yuki was just about to go over and ask Tohru if she'd be so kind as to delight him in a game of shuffleboard but Tohru suddenly turned to Kyo.
"Kyo, do you want to play too?" Tohru asked as she held up two sticks.
Kyo groaned. "Not really." He said.
Yuki thought; 'Now's my chance!'
"But I'll play anyway." Said Kyo as he took the stick and swung it around.
"YAY!!" said Tohru as the two of them were about to frolic off when Tohru turned to Yuki.
"I'll play with you next!" she said to him.
"But I wanted to play with you first." Said Yuki sadly.
"Don't worry, Yuki!" said Tohru. "I'll have as much fun with you as I have with Kyo!"
Just then, Ayame walked around the corner.
"Ah, THERE you two are!" he declared. "I've been looking for you everyone! Why did you leave me alone?!"
"Actually, Ayame, if you remember correctly, you're the one who woke up before us and technically left US alone!" said Shigure.
"That's beside the point!" yelled Ayame. "You made me spend time with… KURENO! HE'S THE CHICKEN!!"
Then chicken suddenly popped up from behind Ayame. "Nanoo." He said.
"And ever since we stumbled across Hiro and Akito, he's tugged Akito along with him!" said Ayame. "So it's been extra creepy."
And then Akito popped up behind Kureno.
Hatori flinched. Shigure didn't seem fazed.
"Where did Hiro go?" Hatori asked since he's so mature.
"He darted off as fast as he could." recalled Ayame. "Probably in search of none other than Kisa."
"You think so?" chuckled Shigure. "I remember what it was like to be that young!" And then Shigure started going into a flashback to when he was a furling like Hiro and of course, Ayame and Hatori were in the flashback as well!! YAY!! "Then again, he could have been just trying to get away from Akito as fast as possible as well."
"Maybe both." Said Ayame. "I mean, if I was Hiro, I'd try to get away from Akito WHILE looking for Kisa!"
"Well, you're not Hiro, are you Ayame?!" Shigure laughed heartily.
"No Gure-san, no I'm not." Said Ayame. There was a short pause. "What should we do?!"
"Well, Hatori and I were just engaged in a rousing game of shuffleboard." Said Shigure. "Well, actually, Hatori seems a bit confused on the logics of the game so I am forced to explain them to him."
"I was only pretending to not know you…you…" started Hatori but he stopped himself before he became frustrated.
"How could you do that?!" Shigure demanded.
"I thought that you'd get it sooner or later and leave me alone." Said Hatori.
"You're so mean!" Shigure whined as he cried tears like waterfalls.
Hatori ignored him.
"FINE!!" yelled Shigure. "I don't need YOU!! I can play shuffleboard with AYAME, right Aya?"
"Of course, Gure-san, I would go to the end of the earth for you!" said Ayame as he reached out for Shigure.
"Oh Aya!" Shigure said. "You're always there when I need a shoulder to lean on!"
Hatori decided that this was a good a time as any to go and leave and get himself something to munch on since he had the munchies since he always gets the munches when he rides in a boat. So he strutted along, puffing the magic dragon (Okay, maybe it wasn't the magic dragon, it was just a cigarette but work with us here.) as if no one cared that he was smoking in a boat, which any NORMAL person would!!
He just so happened to walk by the karaoke place to spot, Rin, Kagura, Kisa, Hiro and Ritsu all just…BEING there. After a short deliberation, he decided that if he were in a group all by himself then he would never be visited and by joining this group, he could be an oddball so he went in.
"What song should we sing?" said Kagura, looking through all the pages.
"Oh, hello Hatori!" said Ritsu as Hatori sat down.
Everyone took a turn greeting him just because his presence kind of surprised them. Come on, if you were a female in a karaoke room, would you expect Hatori to walk in and sit himself down with you as if he belonged? I didn't think so. I would be weirded out too, you're not alone.
They sat there in silence for a minute. Then they watched some random stupid girl sing 'This Kiss' and she was trying WAY too hard and everyone just clapped so she wouldn't feel stupid.
MEANWHILE!!!
"I can't believe I didn't even get on the board again!" said Tohru as she picked up her shuffleboard disc and turned around to face Kyo. The light shined behind her and she was surrounded by sparkles.
"Stupid cat." Said Yuki.
"Um…Kyo…" said Tohru. "It's your turn now!"
"Oh!" said Kyo as he dropped a disc on the ground and positioned it to hit. He then launched it off.
"I guess you missed the board again too!" laughed Tohru. "I guess we're not very good at shuffleboard!" Then she began gathering the discs. "We're going to have to play again so that we can break our tie of zero to zero!"
"I believe it's my turn to play." Said Yuki as he held his shuffleboard stick up and tried to look prince-like.
"Um…well…" started Tohru but she didn't want to hurt Yuki's feelings. She was ABOUT to give her answer when suddenly Shigure and Ayame stomped over complaining about how hungry they were.
"I guess it IS lunchtime…" said Tohru as she rubbed her stomach and laughed. "I've just been having so much fun, I haven't noticed how hungry I am!"
"I'll buy you lunch, Tohru." Said Yuki.
"The food's free, stupid rat." Said Kyo.
"I never said that I would buy YOU…" started Yuki but then he realized what Kyo had said.
So Kyo, Tohru, Yuki, Ayame, the chicken, Akito, Momiji, Haru and Shigure went off to lunch.
"What should I get?" wondered Tohru, looking at the grand buffet that stretched from one side of the room to the other.
"I'll get whatever you're having." Said Yuki as he appeared behind Tohru like the butler on Mr. Deeds.
"Oh!" said Tohru. "That's nice but I think you should get whatever YOU want and not something I want. Unless, of course, we like the same things!"
"I like whatever you like." Said Yuki.
Kyo, meanwhile, was getting himself a nice helping of fish. The chicken was getting something that WASN'T chicken, Momiji got himself some more Trix, Shigure got something normal, Akito didn't get anything because he's a knave and Haru got some…er…um…something sexy.
Everyone went to go and sit at their designated table because Kruno told them that they were doomed to sit there for the remainder of their lives. Well… the remainder of the cruise…when they wanted to eat.
"Sit here…" said Yuki to Tohru as he pulled the chair out for her to sit in.
"Um…okay…" said Tohru nervously as she sat down. Yuki smiled like a prince and sat down next to her. Kyo took the seat on the other side of her and Ayame sat next to the other side of Yuki and Shigure sat next to Ayame and Kureno sat next to Shigure and had Akito on the other side of him. There was a large void of empty seats in between Kyo and Akito but I suppose that's for the better because they don't get along very well anyway!
"You have some food on your face!" laughed Yuki fakely as he leaned over to Tohru and wiped the food off her mouth.
"Um…thank you Yuki…" said Tohru.
"That's what napkins are for." Said Kyo. "All though, I suppose you work just as well."
"And what's that supposed to mean, stupid cat?"
"It means that if I wasn't too disgusted to touch you, I would use your stupid white shirt as a napkin!"
"What kind of insult was that?" said Yuki.
"I DON'T KNOW!!!" screamed Kyo so loudly that everyone turned around and stared at him except for the other people at the table since they were used to Kyo and Yuki fighting so they were immune to it.
"I'll tell you." Said Yuki. "A BAD insult, that's what it was."
"HEY!!!" yelled Kyo. "ALL RIGHT!! YOU AND ME RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW!!"
"Please don't fight!" cried Tohru. "I just wouldn't be able to stand it if anybody got hurt!"
"We won't get hurt, Tohru." Said Yuki. Then he glared at Kyo. "At least I won't. I don't know about this stupid cat though."
"WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?!" Kyo demanded, rolling up his sleeves and slamming his hand down on the table in uncontrollable rage.
"I have the sexiest food in the world." Said Haru, looking at his sexy food as he sat down next to Kyo.
"YEAH!!" said Momiji as he sat down next to Haru. Haru and Momiji were extra slow for no reason. "That IS sexy! Mine…however…I think is the opposite of sexy…"
"Yes." Said Haru. "I can't say that Trix cereal is very sexy at all.
