Chapter Two: The Announcement

Tohru tired and weary left the office building that night with a huge sigh. As she walked she noticed a figure coming towards her and was surprised to see Kyo. She ran over with a smile.

"Kyo. You came all the way down here to get me?" she replied.

"Yea" he nodded, "So?"

"It's just, you never come this far. I didn't even know you knew where I worked."

"It's no big deal. I asked the damn rat for the directions. He was tired from his duties at school today anyway."

"Oh okay" she smiled again, "Still this is very nice of you Kyo."

"Don't mention it" he turned around, "C'mon let's go home."

**********************************************************

When they arrived Momiji was the one who once again answered the door.

"Hi there Tohru!" he called out.

"Ya!" Kyo shouted, "Do you always have to be so loud you little brat!"

"Hi to you too Kyo" Momiji grinned.

"Whatever" Kyo grumbled as he walked into the house.

"Momiji what a pleasant surprise" Tohru replied as she too entered, "But what are you doing here so late?"

"I have exiting news for you Tohru" Momiji explained, "Actually it's for everyone."

"Well don't keep us in suspense Momiji" Shigure called from the sitting room, "Tell us what's going on?"

**********************************************************

Tohru and Momiji entered the sitting room and found Yuki and Shigure sitting at the table. Kyo was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, as usual.

"Oh Yuki" Tohru replied as she sat down, "Are you okay?"

"Yes Miss Honda" he nodded with a smile, "Just a little tired."

"Okay Momiji" Shigure said excitedly, "What is your big news?"

"And it better not be another unplanned trip" Kyo added angrily.

"Oh no" Momiji said when he had taken a sip of his tea, "It's more like something we can decide to do. You see I was visiting Papa at one of his many buildings and he told me that the Spring Festival was coming back to our section of town."

"The Spring Festival?" Yuki replied with an eyebrow raised.

"Yep!" Momiji nodded.

"Wow the Spring Festival?" Tohru said with her hands together, "I haven't been to a festival in a long time."

"You've gone before Miss Honda?" Yuki asked surprised.

"You haven't?" Kyo looked up stunned.

"No" Yuki shook his head, "I've never been. Are you saying you have?"

"Sure" Kyo nodded, "My Master took me the first year he took me into his home. It was a blast."

"Uh huh" Momiji said happily, "There's rides and games and all sorts of stuff to see and do."

"Yes it is a lot of fun" Tohru added turning to Yuki, "Mom and I used to have a ball going on the many rides together. Even the scary ones."

"So anyway Momiji, what's your point?" Shigure interrupted.

"Oh right. Well Papa's company is one of the many sponsors of this years festival so" Momiji pulled out many small strips of paper, "He gave me free tickets to go see it. And I want to invite all of you."

"Free tickets?" Tohru said, "That's wonderful."

"How many do you got?" Yuki asked now a bit excited himself.

"I have enough for you, me, Tohru, and Kyo and even Hatsuharu. I even have some left over if Shigure or Hiro and Kisa want to go."

"I'm sure that Hiro and Kisa would gladly go" Shigure replied, "But unfortunately I have plans that weekend" he stood up.

"How do you know what weekend it is?" Yuki asked suspiciously.

"Oh call it a writers intuition" Shigure smiled as he exited the room.

"He's up to something" Yuki replied.

"When is he not? Kyo added coming over and sitting down.

"So you guys are going to come aren't you?" Momiji asked.

"Yes" Tohru nodded, "What do you think Yuki? You should really go since you have never been to one."

"Okay Miss Honda" Yuki smiled, "Now that you mention it, it does sound like fun."

"Yea!" Momiji cheered, "What about you Kyo?"

Kyo took one glance at Tohru and Yuki who were smiling with each other. He frowned and nodded slowly.

"Yea I'll go" he agreed, but added, "If I have to."

"Great!"

"And don't worry about asking Kisa and Hiro" Tohru replied, "I am seeing them this weekend so I will ask them."

"Okay" Momiji nodded.

"By the way Momiji when is the Spring Festival?" Yuki asked.

"Oh it starts next Wednesday and ends Friday."

"It's for three days?" Yuki replied.

"That's how long they all run" Kyo said, "That way you don't miss anything."

"Yes" Tohru nodded, "There's a lot to do."

"Oh. Do the tickets last that long?"

"Yep" Momiji replied happily, "My Papa made sure to get tickets for the three day extension."

"Okay" Yuki said with a smile.

**********************************************************

That night back at Sohma house, Hiro Sohma was sitting on his bed and staring at the floor. He looked angrily over at the mirror on his wall and scowled.

"It's not fair" he thought, "Why did this have to happen? Why now?"

Authors Note: Hey everyone! Hope you enjoyed this chapter. The last Book had a lot of Hatsuharu and Rin in it. I thought this one could have a lot of Kisa and Hiro. I have decided to stick with my original storyline I intended on. It will make the sixth book a little more interesting.

Next Chapter: Hiro's Problem

Hiro and Kisa come over for an afternoon of lunch and Hiro freaks out majorly? See why!
