Fruits of Florida
"Wow!", Tohru thought to herself as she Kyo, Yuki, Momiji, and Haru walked to Shigure's house from their last day of school. "Another whole school-year has gone by and the summer is here already!"
She looked to Kyo, who's eyes were bulging as he smiled(which he rarely does) and looked to the sky. He closed his eyes and inhaled deeply, taking his "breath of freedom".
"So Kyo," Tohru began cheerfully. "You look awfully happy!" Kyo blushed, tripped over a rock, and fell on his face. Toru held in a giggle, but Momiji didn't!
"HAA, HAA! Kyo you fell! HA- HAA! You're a clutz!" Momiji laughed,
but then Kyo got up and turned around., "Just kidding! Don't kill me!" Momiji grinned in a squinted beg for pity.
"Oh Kyo! Are you ok?" Tohru asked franticly. "I'm so sorry I made you fall!"
"I'm fine, it's ok. It's gonna take more than a stupid rabbit to bring me down! Summer starts today and so does my freedom!!!"
"Would you like to make a bet on that?" Yuki asked Kyo as though he knew something Kyo didn't, which he usually did.
"Hey, I'm in human form now!" Pouted Momiji, completely missing the part about him being stupid and interrupting Yuki.
"Yes! Yes I would!" Kyo answered Yuki, extremely confident in himself. "Twenty-bucks says nothing makes me yell for the whole day! How's that sound rat-boy?!"
"Excellent. But you do, however, realize that you were already shouting just know?"
"HEY! Shouting doesn't count!"
"Fine, it's a deal. Starting...now."
"KKKKKYYYYYYYYOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" A green figure with dark brown hair was standing in the doorway as they approached the house. She was waving her left hand frantically as she held a pitcher of lemonade with a large wooden spoon in it in the other. "KYO-kun, darling!!!!!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kyo hollered as he headed back in the direction of school.
Yuki turned to Tohru with a smile on his face. "Miss Honda, didn't you say you were running short on money to buy a bathing-suit?"
"Oh no!" Tohru answered, hands waving in front of her. "I'd have no place to wear it to! You don't want to waste your hard earned money on me!"
"Who said Yuki was gonna give you his money?" Haru asked totally oblivious to the past year, let alone the conversation.
"Ummmm..."
"KYO, I made us some lemonade to start off our wonderful summer together!! KKKYYOO!!!!!" Shouted, you guessed it, Kagura! She began chasing after Kyo.
"Kyo! Kagura! Where are you going!?" Shouted Momiji.
"Momiji, don't the middle school kids get out now?!" Hollered Kyo to his back.
"Yeah they do. Why? Do you wanna pick up Hiro and Kisa!?" Momiji suddenly sounded excited.
"KKKYYYOOOOOO!!!"
"Ahh... sure, whatever, anything to get away from this psycho-pig!!!!!!"
"KKKYYYOOOOOO!!!"
"Yay!!! I'll come with you!"
"KKKYYYOOOOOO!!!"
"GREAT!!" Kyo yelled between gritted teeth, not really paying attention to Momiji, and being more focused on the "psycho-pig" chasing him with a wooden spoon.
And off the three went!
"Oh Children you're home!" Shigure said, as if he was such a mature being. "I would offer some lemonade but it appears it's left me..." He squinted at the three figures running off in the distance. "So once the rest come back we'll have our own little party!"
"Oh God Shigure, don't tell me you invited him?" Yuki sighed.
"What a great idea! I'll go call Aya now!" And he skipped away into the house in a sort of little-Shigure-Ridinghood way.
"Nice one Yuki." Haru said sarcastically.
"Hey, I thought I was your first love?"
"I think I'll go make a fresh batch of lemonade!" Tohru most rudely interrupted Yuki and Haru... No, not really. Because of coarse she was all cheerful and stuff.
"Would you like some help, Miss Honda?"
"Oh no! After all you've done for me this whole year! The least I could do is make you some lemonade." Once again with the crazy waving hands.
"OK, then."
"See ya later! "Tohru left to the kitchen as Yuki and Haru sat down on the steps of the porch.
"Haru, you know I'm very offended that you've forgotten your love for me."
"Well I'm very offended that you don't call me Mr.Sohma." 15-year-old Haru pouted.
"Excuse me?"
"Well, you call Tohru 'Miss. Honda'".
"I see."
"It's not like you forget her first name or anything... Or do you?"
"Haru, you know I'm very offended that you've forgotten your love for me."
"Ha! Trying to change the subject are you? So you do forget her name, don't you?! Well then... I think I'll just have to take a trip to the kitchen!"
"Haru, are you black?"
"No, he's jealous."
"Oh joy. Shigure's back." Yuki said sarcastically.
"Oh Yuki you've grown a sense of humor!" Shigure replied. "Oh Tohru! My pretty-little-flower, is the lemonade ready!?" Shigure pranced off to the kitchen, little-riding hood and all.
"Idiot." Yuki said under his breath.
Just then a car pulled up and out poured Hatori, Ayame, Momiji, Kyo, Kisa, and Hiro. And Kagura jumped off the roof of the car, to fall in to Kyo's arms.
At the site of Ayame Yuki decided it was time to leave. "I'm going to check on Miss Honda. I'll see you later 'Mr. Sohma.'
"Thanks for the invite first love."
Just then Shigure walked outside. He was balancing a pen above his upper lip and looked a bit cross eye. "I see jealousy strikes again. Actually I can see quite a lot. Five Yukis, five Harus, and five....Ayames!? Aya! Your here!!"
"Fine, Mr.Sohma, come." And Yuki and Haru snuck off into the kitchen to see "Miss Honda" as Shigure and Ayame got into one of their little frenzies, as usual.
" 'Gure baby!" Ayame frenzied.
"Aya, you're here so soon!?" Shigure frenzied back.
"Well when I got a call from my 'Gure that a party was in need , I came rushing over to see my Shuger-Boy! But of coarse boring -old Hatori wouldn't let me drive, so we took his car!"
"I saw the kids in town, so we picked them up." Hatori entered the conversation.
"Hatori," Shigure began, leaving his frenzy behind. "Not that I have any doubts in you,...but why was Kagura placed on the roof?"
"Well there wasn't enough room in the car, so Kyo was told to sit on the roof. But as usual, he was stubborn about it started having a tantrum and such. So Kagura offered to take his place. I told her that it would be inapropriet but she insisted...literally." Hatori showed Shigure his bruised right eye.
So of coarse, Shigure being the immature adult that he is, burst out laughing. "You got hit by a girl!?! HHHAAA! Hatori Sohma got hit by a girl!! Now you can't see out of either eyes!! HAHA! You got beat up by a 19-year-old girl!!!!!!!!!" Luckily for Shigure, all the kids had already entered the house, this included Kagura. "Come on Hatori, let's go in side...I think I might have a helmet in there!!!! HAHAHAHAHAAAA!"
"You should really be more careful Hatori." Ayame said as they walked in the house, he was also filing his nails at this point. "I told you to listen to that girl, now you've really made a fool of yourself."
"I need a vacation." Hatori said to himself as they sat down to a table in the house. He may have meant it to himself, but that's not how it was taken.
"A VACATION???!!!" Ayame yelled, who at this point was the only one in the room, while Shigure was in the kitchen...again! "Hatori, what a brilliant idea!!! I could really use one. What with all the damage this stress has been causing my hair. Oooo! I'll go tell Shigure!" But before he could enter the kitchen, out popped Tohru, Yuki, and Shigure (who was rubbing his head after Yuki smacked him for sticking his finger in the pitcher.)
"Lemonade's ready!" tohru yelled cheerfully. Suddenly a stampied of thirsty zodiac boys and Kagura came racing down the stairs followed by a slow moving Kisa.
"Shigure! Guess what?! We're going on vaca!"
" Oooo!!!! We are?!"
"Thanks to Hatori!"
"Oh God. What have I done?" Hatori said to himself.
"Please say it's Disney World, please say it's Disney World, please say it's Disney World" Shigure whispered to himself. "WE'RE GOING TO DISNEY WORLD AREN'T WE!!!!!!!!!!!?!?" Shigure was acting like a hyper little five year old as he jumped up and down with excitement.
"Disney World!!!!!!!!!!???????" Momiji was now also jumping up and down with excitement. Everyone else was sitting in a circle, sipping their lemonade waiting to see if they were really going. That is except for Yuki, Tohru, and Kagura (who was too busy force-feeding Kyo his lemonade).
"We're not going to Disney World." Hatori announced.
"Disney Land!?!" Shigure and Momiji guessed at the same time.
"No. We're not going anywhere. Besides, we all know Akito would never allow it." There was a large sigh amongst the group.
"But Sissy, I really wanted to go with you to Disney World..." Kisa said, who was sitting on Tohru's lap, giving her puppy-dog eyes.
Thoru's eyes swelled with tears. "That's it!" Tohru said she put kisa down and stood up. "Screw Akito! I'll do anything! But we're going to Disney World, no matter what!"
There was a moment of silence as everyone starred at Tohru. Not surprised at her speach, but more in shock that she used the phrase "screw Akito." That being something Kyo would broke loose of Kagura's grip and stood up to say "Yeah, screw Akito! Let's go!"
Yuki smacked Kyo in the back of his head and everyone began now slurping their lemonades (either that or they were whining to Hatori).
Then Kisa got up and stood by Hatori with her unavoidable puppy-dog/ horse shoe eyes. "Grandpa Hatori, can we please go on vacation to Disney World. I was really looking forward to you introducing me to Mickey."
Hatori, now feeling loved, forgot about Akito and decided Disney World it was! As long as they got to see the rest of Florida (meaning all the beaches and stuff)."Pack your bags, I'll book the flight for tomorrow."
"YYYYYYYYYAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!!" Everyone cheered.
"You should all be here by 6AM."
"Now everyone go home and pack!" Shigure declared with stars in his eyes.
And they were out the door! Except for those who lived there and Hatori, who decided he might as well book the flight there.
"Hatori what are you still doing here?" Shigure asked, still starry eyed.
"Well I figured I might as well use your phone to book the flight, since I'm here already."
"Fine with me! I'll be in my room packing!" Shigure practically flew up to his room.
"I think I'll do the same. Miss Honda, will you join me?"
"Oh yeah! I should have started a long time ago. Thanks for reminding me Yuki!"
" Kyo, shouldn't you be packing, too?" Hatori asked implying that he didn't want him there.
"I'll do it later." Kyo said, either not catching the drift or not really caring.
Hatori sighed, he pulled out a noted book and pen from his pocket. he put on his reading glasses and turned to Kyo. "Wanna make yourself useful? Hand me that telephone book by you."
Kyo chucked the book at Hatori who just gave him one of those "you disappointment" looks. Then he opened it up to the "a" section and began looking for an appropriate airline. "ab, ab......ac...ae..."Hatori mumbled under his breath, but still out loud.
"Hatori, would you shutup!" Kyo yelled. "Do you even remotely realize how annoying that is?!"
"Excuse me, but has know one ever taught you to respect your elders? Besides, what can you possibly be doing that you need complete silence?"
"I'm...thinking!"
"Oh really? About what?"
"How I'm gonna pay Yuki twenty-bucks..." Kyo said in an annoyed grumble.
"What was that?"
"Noth...aren't you suppose to be getting us a flight or something?"
"Right away, Mr.Kyo." Hatori said sarcastically. "Let's see...Airlines there we are." He flipped to a page, wrote some thing on his pad of paper, and dialed a number, pen in hand. "Yes, I'd like to book a flight for tomorrow...from Tokyo, Japan.....Florida of the United States....what city?...Umm, hold on." Hatori held the phone to his shoulder. "Kyo, do you know where Disney World is?"
"I don't know...Florida."
"No, what city is it?"
"I don't know. Get a map." Hatori gave Kyo another look. "Fine!" I don't know why, but for some reason Shigure had a map of the U.S. Kyo found Florida and began looking for, yes, the words "Disney World"(someone's a little slow.)."Hatori, it's not on here!"
Hatori got back on the phone. "Do you have any seats avalible for Tokyo to...Disney World?" Hatori felt foolish saying that. There was some astonished yelling over the phone..."How about another city in Florida?...I'm gonna need..."He got off the phone again. "Kyo, how many seats do we need?"
"I don't know. Figure it out yourself!"
"Fine, Kyo, you'll stay here all alone, while everyone else and Tohru go on vacation."
"Fine!!...ummm....there's me, Tohru...Kisa, and Hiro...Kagura, Momiji, Shigure, Ayame...and Haru....oh yeah, and that dumb rat. That's...10."
Hatori looked at him. "What?! I did what you asked! What more do you want!?"
Hatori sighed and put the phone to his ear. "Ten seats please.... They cancelled for Miami?.... Great, thank you very much....Hatori Sohma...Thank you ..Bye now.
And so it begins......
