Chapter 13: On The Way
"Ahh~ It's such a beautiful day. The Sun is shining, the birds are chirping merrily, a perfect day to be at the beach." Shigure started with his "poetic" inspiration again.
"For goodness sake Shigure! It's already nine in the morning so stop daydreaming." Kyo scowled.
"Useless cat. Fancy losing your temper at such an early hour."
"The pot calling the kettle black. You are picking a fight as well you damn rat!"
"It's nice seeing them so energetic on a Saturday morning." Tohru thought to herself as she walked into the kitchen.
"Break it up you two. You are breaking into my concentration." Shigure bit the tip of his pen.
"Forget it! I can't think. I need to relax, seriously. Hmm...we should go to the beach. It's been awhile since we took a break from work." Shigure added.
"You're just looking for an excuse to get away from work, aren't you Shigure?"
"Tsk..tsk..tsk...why do you think of me this way? You're so mean. I'm so nice to invite you all to the beach and this is what I receive? My heart has been shattered into million bite size pieces by you Yuki." Shigure pretended to be dramatic. "Wait a minute while I invite the other members of the Sohma family as well. Do you want to go, Tohru? You'll get to meet the other zodiac members."
Tohru nodded.
"I'm going along. I don't feel easy with you around Shigure." Yuki said crudely.
"Me too. I'm going" Kyo blushed.

"Ha! You finally pick my call. You know how much I missed you these few days when you ignored me and did not pick up my calls?" Shigure chuckled.
"What is it now?" Hatori's voice boomed through the speaker.
"You see, I've just had a writer's block and I wanted to spend the day relaxing at the beach. I was thinking whether I could invite some of them to come along with us, and at the same time let them meet Tohru!"
Hatori agreed as the school term was over and they were all given a one month long holiday.

"Shigure? Are you at home?" Came a knock at the door.
"Momiji! Haru! And my dearest Ayame and Hatori!" Shigure exclaimed as he attempted to hug Ayame and Hatori.
He was pushed away by Hatori who looked sternly at him and said "No monkey business".
"Tohru! Tohru! Come and meet these members of the Sohma family."
"Ahh?!" Tohru said as her eyes dilated with shock and amusement.
"The cute little blonde boy here is Momiji Sohma, cursed by the rabbit, this punk over here with half black and half while hair here is Hatsuharu Sohma, cursed by the cow." Shigure sniggering. "Ayame here is Yuki's elder brother and he is cursed by the snake. But they are not in good terms though. And as for my handsome Hatori over here, I'm sure you know him by now."
"Hi, I am Tohru Honda and it is a great pleasure for me to meet you." Tohru bowed courteously.
"Alright. We have come to the end of our 'introductory session'. If we do not hurry up, we're going to miss the bus!" Shigure shoved Momiji and Haru out of the door. "Tohru, Yuki, Kyo! Are you three done packing up yet? You better hurry or we'll leave without you."
After all the rushing and the pestering, they finally boarded the bus. On the bus, Momiji, Haru and Ayame started discussing about their lives to Tohru, which caused her to feel overwhelmed. During the discussion, Tohru discovered why Yuki hated Ayame; when they were younger, Yuki needed help and sought his brother's aid but was easily rejected by Ayame. Tohru also caught Yuki and Kyo exchanging merciless glances to each other on their ride.
"That brother of yours had better not do anything to Tohru." Kyo said.
"It's not my fault he's my brother!" Yuki retorted. "You know what Ayame is like. His character is like a clone of Shigure's!"
"Did I hear my name?"
"No, you're just being paranoid." Yuki replied.
"Ahh~ It's such a beautiful day. The Sun is shining, the birds are chirping merrily, a perfect day to be at the beach." Shigure started with his "poetic" inspiration again.
