Chapter 14: Cat Hates Water?
"We're finally here! After that long and tedious bus ride...oh my...I'm aging. My bones are feeling all sore. I better take a nap at the resort." Shigure groaned.
"Lazy bum!" Kyo shouted as he saw Shigure walking towards the resort, waving his hand merrily at them.
************************************************************************
"Let's go swim Tohru!" Momiji dragged Tohru by the hand.
"I think we better change into our attires before we get caught." Haru said maturely.
"I guess Haru-san is right." Tohru added.
************************************************************************
"Wee!" Momiji jumped into the sea and started swimming frog style.
"A rabbit swimming like a frog. How interesting." Haru said sarcastically before he dived into the water as well.
"Come on in Tohru!"
"I can't swim. I'll just watch here with Kyo. You enjoy yourself Momiji." Tohru's faced glowed with crimson red.
"It's okay Honda-san. You can sit there by the shore, I'll accompany you." Yuki offered his hand to Tohru.
"Thank you Sohma-san." Tohru smiled sweetly at Yuki's kindness.
Kyo stood up beside Tohru and walked away, grumbling.
For the rest of the day, Yuki, Tohru, Haru and Momiji relaxed in the waters while the three "old folks" Ayame, Hatori and Shigure stayed indoors to play with poker cards. As for Kyo, he took Shigure's sun hat and stayed on the roof of the resort "sun bathing", as he watched the others enjoy themselves.
************************************************************************
Even though it ended very quickly and they did not have enough of the water activities, Tohru felt extremely fortunate to be able to enjoy herself like this. However, she noticed that Kyo was not very happy about their trip.
On their way back, Tohru then heard from Shigure that as Kyo was a cat, he hated the water and that was the reason why Kyo did not join them in the fun.
"Poor Kyo." Tohru mumbled.
"What so pitiful about me?"
Tohru turned around and was shocked to see Kyo locking his reddish-orange eyes her, through the gap between the two chairs. Feeling at loss for words, Tohru turned away to avoid Kyo's stare.
"Even though I never went into the sea, I had a great time looking at you guys enjoying yourselves." Kyo comforted Tohru.
For the rest of the journey, Tohru described the atmosphere at sea to Kyo while he shut his eyes as told by Tohru, to imagine the scenery.

Author's reviews:
Here I am! Reviewing my story out of a sudden again. I just want to say that this is the end of my Riceball Anyone? Part (I) and I'll be updating Part (II) some time later. This is for the convenience of those who don't have the patience to read stories with over 20 chapters. I'm sorry for this short temporary ending chapter. I just wanted to end the story (temporary) with a nice ending, even though this is not very nice after all but it somehow gives me a kind of a nice ending. I don't know about you but this is how I feel.
