Chapter Five: Confrontation
On Monday morning Tohru and Kyo were sitting at the breakfast table together. Shigure came in with a paper in his hand and sat down.
"Where's Yuki?" he asked looking around.
"He went in early this morning," Tohru answered.
"Yea. Said something about an important meeting" Kyo replied through chews.
"Ah. Perhaps something to do with the Student Council" Shigure added picking up his chopsticks.
Tohru nodded and picked up the dishes from Kyo's side and her own and walked into the kitchen. A few minutes later she met Kyo at the front door who was waiting there with her bag and his backpack on his back.
"Have a good day!" Shigure called with the paper in his hands since he was now reading it.
"You too!" Tohru called back while Kyo merely shrugged.
**********************************************************
At the school Hatsuharu and Momiji were at the lockers and had just removed their shoes. Haru pulled a small slip of paper out of his locker.
"I wonder who this is from?" Hatsuharu replied.
He read through it quickly and stood up.
"It's from Yuki. He wants me to meet him on the roof."
"Hurry up Haru. You don't want to be late for class," Momiji said with a worried expression on his face.
"Don't worry Momiji" Haru smiled, "I'll be there on time" he grabbed his backpack and took off running.
"Oh no" Momiji murmured to himself.
*********************************************************
Yuki was waiting on the roof with his back turned from the door. Hatsuharu arrived and stared at him.
"Yuki?" he called out.
"Close the door Haru" Yuki replied.
"Okay" Haru complied then walked up behind him, "What's up?"
"I just have one thing to say. What the hell do you think that you're doing?" he turned around and looked at his cousin angrily.
"Huh?"
"I thought that you had feelings for Rin. But apparently any girl is good for you."
"Yuki you're making no sense."
"Let me finish. How dare you take advantage of a sweet girl like Miss Honda."
"But."
"I said let me finish. I won't allow it Haru. I won't. This can not continue."
Haru looked at him amused.
"And what pre-tell must not continue."
"Your relationship with Miss Honda. Stop coming on to her right now. No more secret rendezvous. Am I being clear."
"What gives you the idea that I'm coming on to her?" Haru replied a smile starting to cross his face.
Yuki sighed.
"Because I saw you. Last Friday I watched you and Miss Honda in your house."
"You spied on us?"
"That's not the point."
"Well. All I got to say is" Hatsuharu replied then he burst out laughing.
In fact he was laughing so loud and so hard. More so then he ever had before in his entire life.
"I can't believe you think that Tohru and I are," he said through giggles, "Oh it hurts."
"Why are you laughing?" Yuki demanded.
"Give me a minute" Hatsuharu laughed some more, "Yuki I, oh here I go again" he laughed.
"Stop it! I asked you why you are laughing?"
Haru was now leaning on the wall holding his stomach as he laughed.
"What is so damn funny!" Yuki asked angrily.
"Okay. Okay. I think I'm done now. Yuki, Tohru and I are not seeing each other."
"What?"
"She has been helping me lately with my black problem."
Yuki looked at him confused.
"You see the martial arts weren't working so I thought of another way to help with it, which turned out to be music. And I asked her to help me by becoming my singing partner."
"Singing partner?" Yuki felt faint.
"Uh huh. And you actually thought. Yuki I never thought in a million years that you would be so jealous that you would spy on her."
"I'm not jealous! Why didn't you tell us this?"
"Because I promised I wouldn't tell anyone about her singing ability. She's kind of embarrassed about it. Even if she is good."
"You mean all this time you have been practicing singing and playing the piano?"
"Mhm" Haru nodded.
"Then what about when you were talking with each other so closely on the couch."
"Oh that. We were talking about Rin and I."
"Oh no" Yuki put a hand to his head, "I don't believe this."
"Hey don't worry about it Yuki. I haven't laughed that hard in my whole life. That felt good. And don't worry I won't tell anyone about this as long as you don't tell Tohru I told you."
"You promise that you will just forget about it then?" Yuki asked.
"No. I promise that I won't tell anyone but I'm never gonna forget about this. I will never let you live this one down. In fact" Haru started walking towards the door, "If you ever marry her I might mention it to her."
"Don't you dare" Yuki replied.
"Okay" Haru chuckled, "I got to get to class. See you later!" he exited the roof.
"Oh man. What a fool I am" Yuki replied to himself.
**********************************************************
Yuki walked off of the roof and headed for the Student Council office. As usual he was the first one there. He sat down at his desk and looked at the day's agenda. Kakeru Manabe came into the room followed by his sister Machi Kuragi.
"Good morning Yun Yun!" he replied.
"Good morning Kakeru" Yuki said, "Good morning Miss Kuragi."
She nodded as Kimi and Nao came in.
"Hey Shorty! Good Morning!" Kakeru replied to Nao.
"How many times have I told you not to call me that Kakeru" Nao seethed.
"Good morning Mr. President!" Kimi exclaimed.
"Good Morning" Yuki replied.
"Boy do I have good news for you" Kakeru said sitting on his desk making Yuki frown a bit.
"What's that?"
"Mind you I did ask President Takei's permission first."
"What is it?"
"Okay. I was racking my brain on thinking of ways that we could make the seniors departure next week more exciting so I came up with a drum roll please."
Kimi made the sound and tapped a nearby desk.
"Farewell Seniors School Dance!"
"A school dance?" Yuki replied in shock.
"Mhm. And President Takei is all for it. He thinks it's a great idea provided that you and I make all the arrangements."
"Great. And how do we get that started?"
"Leave that to me. I've already got flyers. I plan on hanging them around school this morning. That way people have a week to find the perfect date. I'm gonna start hanging them now."
"Whatever Kakeru" Yuki sighed, "Just go to class."
"Okay" Kakeru grinned and ran out the door followed by Nao, Machi and Kimi.
Yuki sighed again and grabbed his book bag.
"A school dance? That's got to be the worst idea I have ever heard."
*******************************************************
The whole school was in an excited frenzy after the announcement of the dance. As Kyo and Tohru walked home Kyo replied angrily how stupid of an idea this was.
"I mean. I hate to dance. Plus we are required to bring dates. Where's the damn rat anyway."
"Yuki said that he had things to do in the student council this afternoon" Tohru replied, "He said he has to stay kind of late. Oh I'd better hurry. I'll be late for work."
"Hmm. He goes in early this morning," Kyo thought as they rushed home, "And he stays late this afternoon. What's so damn important in the student council anyway."
