Camping Accident

Chap. 8

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Yuki sat up in his room; he looked out the window, deep in thought. 'This isn't easy..' he frowned slightly, 'What will I get for Tohru?' Yuki sighed, figuring the only way he'd pick something out would be to go out and look. With a final nod, he walked downstairs and put his shoes on; calling to Shigure in his office to say he was leaving. He'd been searching in town for about an hour when he stopped in front of a jewelry store. A nice little silver ring with a timid blue sapphire surrounded by little red sapphire hearts and diamonds caught his eye. 'What am I thinking? We haven't even been…together for that long!' Yuki thought to himself in surprise. He tilted his head to the side in a thoughtful manner, 'Well, not really, she's been living with us for a little over a year now…' Giving the cute little ring one last look, he walked in to talk with the jeweler.

"Scrtch scrtch scrtch"

Shigure smiled slightly, pausing what he was doing. Little Yuki had finally left to search for his gift to Tohru. Lucky for him, he didn't need to search; the precious gift was all in his head! He paused a moment to look over what he'd just written.

            "Mit-Chan will have my head for this!" he chuckled softly.

He continued typing away at his new short story, Junnishi Tsuibo.

"Beep beep" Honked the little horn on Haru's bike.

He was also out trying to find something for Tohru; he had a pretty good idea of what to get her… her own little cow to hug whenever she wanted too, he felt deep in his heart that she missed hugging him for the adorable cow he became! (a little conceited, ne?) He stopped abruptly, looking down the road he was following that led into the horizon.

            "Strange, I should be to town by now!" He mumbled, utterly confused.

Ritsu was flipping out. (no surprise there.) He had gone through every box of clothes he could find and he still didn't have it! 'Where is it?!' He thought frantically.

            "Ritsu, wouldn't you like some lunch?" His mother asked, coming in to see the mess he'd made, "Ritsu! What on earth are you doing?!"

            "Mom! I need to find a birthday gift for Tohru!" Ritsu responded, a little whiney.

            "I'm sure she'll be happy just to see you there, she seemed like the type of girl who doesn't cling to material possessions too much." Ritsu's mom stated softly.

            "I MUST GET TOHRU A GIFT, I'LL BE THE ONLY ONE WHO DID NOT PRESENT OUR SWEET TOHRU WITH A BIRTHDAY GIFT!" He spazed suddenly.

            "I'M SORRY, I DIDN'T REALIZE! YOU SHOULDN'T YELL AT YOUR MOTHER LIKE THAT!" His mom responded with equal volume.

            "YOU'RE YELLING TOO MOM! WHERE'S MY BLUE KIMONO?!" Ritsu asked loudly.

            "Umm… Did you check the guest room?" His mother asked thoughtfully, suddenly calming down.

            "Oh… nope! Thanks mom! ^-^" Ritsu ran out of the room happily.

            "They make such a big fuss over me!" Tohru smiled, "They do too much… I've got to repay them, but how?" She idly played with the fox tail that appeared out of nowhere as she looked around.

"Maybe I'll make them a special treat? The majority of my new family seem to enjoy my cooking the most.." She thought, abandoning her desk and thoughts for her warm and inviting bed.

~*The next morning…*~

            "Ahhh~!!" Tohru shrieked.

Three sets of footsteps quickly rushed to the kitchen. Upon entering, they saw Kagura freaking out while trying to put out a huge blaze.

            "What the he~?" Kyou began, before being gently but firmly shoved aside by a pair of tiny hands.

            "Excuse me Kyou!" Tohru squeaked in a panic as she rushed with the extinguished to help Kagura.

            "Maa Maa, Kagura is trying to burn my house down again!" Shigure intelligently observed as anime tears streaked rivers down his face dramatically.

            "When did she get here?!" Kyou growled.

            "What was she trying to make this time?" Yuki wondered aloud, trying to peer over the frantic females.

After the fire was put out and the kitchen a mess, Kagura confessed.

            "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to set the house on fire!" She sobbed into Kyou's arm.

            "Get off!" He hissed.

            "What were you doing in the kitchen Kagura?" Yuki questioned.

            "Oh! I was trying to make a birthday cake for Tohru!!" She chirped.

            "Kagura should stay out of the kitchen!" Shigure laughed with a large sweatdrop adorning his head.

            "I know," Kagura sniffled, eyes welling with tears again, "I didn't mean to cause trouble."

            "Damn dog, it was an accident Quit making her cry!" Kyou barked.

            "Eh?" Shigure blinked, 'He's defending her now?'

            "Kyou?" Kagura looked up at his face in surprise.

            "What; She's getting my shirt all wet!" Kyou muttered, wringing out his sleeve.

            Kagura smiled wide as the last of her tears fell, "Kyou loves me!!!"  She hugged his arm tightly.

            "Stop that!" He commanded, turning beat red.

            "Baka Neko isn't resisting Kagura as much.." Yuki noted.

            "It's so sweet!" Tohru gushed.

            "Ayame would be more than excited to design the wedding attire!" Shigure beamed, "I'll go give him a call!"

            "Disaster…" Yuki sighed.

            "Damnit, I'm not marrying her!" Kyou screamed

            "Kyou, you have to marry me, we're in love!" Kagura chimed.

            "Love is mutual, Idiot! What you're referring to is your one-sided obsession for me!" He growled back.

            "You better love me!" Kagura snarled dangerously.

            "Fine, fine..." Kyou mumbled, shrinking back, "I love you…"

            "Yey!!" Kagura cheered, hugging him again.

            "W'cha!" Shigure, who had returned already, pretended to crack a whip and grinned.

Kyou snarled dangerously while Yuki snickered; Poor Tohru was oblivious to the implemented meaning of the gesture.

            "It's all so wonderful! Now we can bring Kagura and Kyou on double dates!" Tohru smiled happily.

            "What?! You and Yuki????" Kagura asked incredulously.

Kyou growled again and Yuki blushed,

            "It wasn't exactly planned, but yes." He said with his head bowed slightly.

            "Ahh, Ayame would be thrilled to hear that he'll finally be making the suit his dear little brother will wear the last night of innocence with his dear wife!" Shigure sighed in mischief.

            "You wouldn't…" Yuki stated horrified.

It was Kyou's turn to snicker now; while Ayame was enthusiastic about making clothes for everyone, Yuki would get it worse with his brotherly talks of being polite with a lady's wants and needs and using protection and all. Kyou outright laughed at his mental image of how things would go for his rival. Yuki glared futilely.

            "I love Ayame's dresses!" Tohru giggled.

            "Hai, we could get our dresses picked out and have our weddings together!" Kagura squealed in delight.

            "What?!" Kyou yelped.

            "Oh no…" Yuki moaned, 'Better start planning some funerals while we're at it!'

            "That would be great!" Tohru readily agreed.

            "We have to hurry if we want to be ready in a month!" Kagura jumped back in.

Both boys began coughing and choking on something that wasn't there; Shigure just laughed uproariously.

            "We only have a month! Oh my, I don't think I can get everything together that quick!" Tohru gasped.

            "What about the wedding night?" Kagura stopped to question.

            "Wedding night?" Tohru asked innocently, "What happens then?"

Both boys' eyes were wide now, Shigure just laughed harder and struggled to breathe.

            "Oh my," Kagura gasped, looking at the boys she got up and pulled Tohru away from the table and up to her room, "We need to plan our weddings! There's so much you don't know!"

            "Ah… Hai!" Tohru agreed readily.

Yuki and Kyou watched the two bounce away with crimson faces and eyes as wide as saucers.

            'She's going to corrupt Torhu!' Yuki mentally shouted, willing his uncooperative legs to take chase but not succeeding.

            'She honestly thinks I'm… I'm going to do, do that with her?!' Kyou yelped mentally while swallowing hard.

            "Yuki and Kyou have their futures ahead of them and they can't get over their shy crushes! How cute, I must call Ayame and Hatori!!" Shigure laughed, prancing out of the room on light toes.

            "We're doomed!" Kyou whined, "Erm.. what do you say we make a temporary truce and escape this madness before it consumes us?!

            "Ah well, I wouldn't mind marrying Tohru.. but umm, she might not like all of what Kagura tells her." Yuki replied wincing, "The worst part is facing the damn serpent that shares my blood."

            "Yea.. I'm sorry about that, but if you need me I'll be in hiding!" Kyou shuddered.

            "Gee thanks, I really feel like you've got my back…" Yuki replied dryly.

            "Aya! Wonderful news, Your baby brother is going to bring a sister into your small, yet loving family!" Shigure chirped.

            "That's wonderful! I absolutely have to come over and see the magnificent ring he presented the lucky lady with, It's adorable little Tohru, isn't it?!" Ayame responded animatedly, even for a phone conversation.

            "Yup, except the ring hasn't been given yet." Shigure corrected.

            "What?! How improper! I thought Yuki knew better!" Ayame cried outraged, "If he can't do it right, a real gentleman may have to come along and take her from him properly!"

            "That's not all Aya! Baka Neko is also going to be wed!" Shigure continued.

            "Kyou! I never imagined it, he must have swept Kagura off her feet and proposed, how romantic!" Ayame sighed.

            "Yea… well something like that! ^-^" Shigure replied nervously, "Will you make the wedding attire???"

            "Of course! The world will know my design genius when they see two of the most famous weddings decked out in my fashion!" Ayame laughed pompously into the receiver.

            "You damn mutt, I'm not getting married!!!" Kyou yelled from the next room.

            "If he comes over, I'm running away with Baka Neko." Yuki threatened.

            "Eep, Aya, they're on to us, I must leave you!" Shigure whispered urgently.

            "No, don't leave me Gure! You promised!" Aya cried back dramatically.

            "Have no fear! I shall return to you dear Aya!" Shigure bid farewell and hung up.

            "Who was that?" Mine asked, adjusting some clothes.

            "Gure just called to tell me that Yuki is to be wed! Kyou too!" Ayame announced happily.

            "How wonderful, your darling little brother and his cousin will be finding happiness!" Mine sighed.

            "No time for gushing Mine! We must make adjustments to the gift! Then we have to create Tuxedos for Kyou and my little brother, a wedding dress for dear Kagura, and more tuxedos and dresses for the bride's maids and best men!" Ayame ordered.

            "Right, sir!" Mine snapped to attention, saluting playfully before rushing off to get the materials asked for.

Ah well, tis life!) yes we do intend to sell them, after keeping the 2 females from the last litter, plus having our original female, Taffy, and two males… and my mom's dog, Sunny and his puppy, Casey (casey was sunny and Taffy's pup, from the very first litter, a mixed breed litter; she's a cockapoo) we don't really have room for any more.
