Tohru awoke with the sun brightly shining in her eyes. she looked over and
saw Cassie sleeping quietly on the floor. She smiled to herself, thinking,
'oh, another beautifull day!' and she wiped the hair from her eyesand stood
up. the light shined brightly through the window, and played apon the
sleeping Cassie on the floor. She walked down stairs humming to herself,
and went straight to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for everyone. Not
long after, the smell of food drifted up the stairs, and awoke the rest of
the Sohma's up, followed by Cassie. "Good morning everyone!" Tohru said
cheerfully. Shigure walked light heartedly into the room, beaming at the
smell of Tohru's wonderfull cooking. following him was Yuki, still half
asleep, and resembeling a zombie, then Cassie, half asleep but cheerfull,
and lastly Kyo, sulking behind because he still can't defeat Yuki.
Gathered around the table, Yuki and Kyo ate in silence, while Shigure had an animated connversation with Cassie and Tohru about everything that crossed Shigure's mind. They all knew Shigure had a deadline for his writing coming up, so of course his editor would be coming over to frantically yell at him, while he found different excuses to escape and then hide. Tohru was going to have her friends visit for the day, Hana and Uo, close friends which she's had for a long while. Shigure had left early that morning howevere, before even Tohru had woken up, to visit a "friend" of his. He had returned, luckily, just in time for breakfast, which made him really happy.
"by the way, Cassie, my freind i visited today does not know what it was you saw, but he advises we all be carefull, and stay in at night." he looked acrossed the table. "that includes you too Kyo"He frowned. "WHAT?!' Kyo yelled angrilly. "now now Kyo, you ARE living here, so you will have to follow our rules." Shigure said sternly. Kyo got up and left the room, slamming the door behind him. Tohru frowned. "Kyo...." she breathed, worried about her freind. "never mind him" Yuki said, finally waking up. "he'll get over it anyway." Cassie watched this all in silence. "well...i'd better head off to work...no school today..." Cassie stood up and thanked Tohru for the meal.
Cassie walked through the woods to go to work. Working at the candy shop so far had been fun, but Cassie knew very little about her employer, Blade. Cassie had only seen her once or twice, and it was always with a quick smile, but never a hello or anything. She was there then gone. It half amused Cassie as she thought about it.
When Cassie arrived at the store, she was the first one there. So, she quickly set up the store and waited behind the counter. With school out for the day, there was bound to be some kids going through. Cassie simply whistled to herself while standing behond the counter. Suddenly, the door bang open, and these three kids walked in. One of them Cassie recognized. It was Kisa, the cousin of Haru and everyone. The other two she didn't know. The one who had open the door, grinned from ear to ear, and hoped energetically through the dorway. Following him was Kisa, timidly following the happy blonde haired boy, and just behind her, sort of sulking in the back of the group was a young tan haired boy, who almost looked as though he didn't want to be there..if not for Kisa's presence.
"we'd like to get these!" said the blonde haired boy, waving an armfull of candy in front of Cassie. Cassie grinned. "what's the occasion?" she asked with a grin, not really expecting an answer. "it's Kyo's birthday, so we're getting lots of candy for a surprise party!" Kisa said merrily. "Kyo's birthday?" Cassie breathed in surprise. She hadn't even known. "today is his birthday?" she asked. "yes, it is! there's going to be a surprise party tonight, so don;t say anything!" the blonde haired boy winked and smiled. "ah yes, your secret is safe with me." Cassie returned his smile. "I'm Cassie shenron by the way." she introduced herself. "and I'm Momiji Sohma, and these are my cousins Kisa and Hiro Sohma!" Mimiji waved his hands at them. Kisa blushed, while Hiro scowled. "how do you know Kyo anyway?" he asked, glarring up at Cassie. "I live at Shigure's house..." Cassie trailed off. "hm" Hiro responded, then turned and walked out the door. "what was that all about?" she wondered.
When Cassie finally got out of work, she made a mad dash for Tohru's work place. "WHERE IS TOHRU?" she yelled at the first woman she met. "I'm right here" said Tohru from behind her. "what is it? is something wrong?" Cassie shook her head. "do you know what today is?" Cassie asked. "umm...n..no..should i?" she asked caefully. "IT'S KYO'S BIRTHDAY, AND HE DIDN'T BOTHER TELLING ANYONE!!!" Cassie yelled. 'WHAAAAT?!!!!" Tohru panicked. She began running outside toward the nearest store, panicing the whole way..."AND I DIDN'T EVEN GET HIM ANYTHING, AND HE'LL THINK I'M SO INCONSIDERATE, BUT I'M NOT, I JUST DIDN'T KNOW, AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HE'LL WANT...."Cassie did her best to keep up to the upset Tohru. "TOHRU!!!" Cassie yelled as she grabed her by the shoulders. "CALM DOWN!!" she yelled. Tohru had gone white. Cassie sighed. "okay..let's go get Kyo a present." Tohru nodded.
They entered the store, and split up, to find a good present. Tohru found herself wandering through martial arts books, while Cassie ended up near these silly looking cat stuffed animals, which she was sure Kyo would hate. Cassie sniggered. "tempting" she murmured. They ended up getting him a piunching bag and training weights, which seemed like a good buy. On their way home, they chatted with each other. "So, did you manage to have your friends over today?" Tohru smiled. "yes, I really don't get to see them enough." Cassie frowned." You work far too much you know. there must be something better for a gilr like you..." Cassie drifted off, thinking of possibilities. she pictured Tohru as a movie star, smiling at the camera, waving at fans, then falling off the stage....then Cassie tried picturing Tohru as an olimpic athlete, running to the finnish at amazing speeds, then tripping over the finnish line......"hm," Cassie thought to herself. "maybe not those things....."Tohru only smiled. "I'm happy this way." Cassie smiled back. "yeah..."
Apon reaching the house, they were surprised at the number of people the had shown up. Cassie didn't know it, but they were all zodiac memebers. "GET AWAY FROM ME!!!!!" they could hear Kyo screaming. "uh?" Cassie gasped in surprise. "BUT KYO, I LOVE YOU!!!!" They could hear a female voice answer back. "ooh.." replied Tohru. "it's Kagura..." "Kagura?...hmm..." Cassie pondered. Another family memeber she hadn't met yet probably....when they got into the house, they found Shigure humming to himself next to a pile of presents. "i don't think Kyo will be coming back until she leaves..." he said, smileing at them. "so, we'll just have to open his presents without him!" Shigure laughed evilly, and turned to open one of the presents. But Kyo was standing there. Apparently, he'd been hiding from Kagura underneath the table Shigure had piled the presents on. "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT! IF YOU HADN'T TOLD EVERYONE IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY, THIS WOULDN'T BE HAPPENING!!!!" He yelled angrilly at Shigure. "and that would be a shame, now wouldn't it? a birthday cake gone to waste..." "YOU-""KYO! THERE YOU ARE!!"Kagura cut off Kyo from whatever he was going to say, and chased after him with a knife. "i love youSOOO MUCH!!!!""AHHH!!!" Kyo screamed as he ran out the door. "It's going to be a long night." sighed Haru from the doorway. "stupid cat" grummbled Yuki. Meanwhile, Shigure opens the presents.....and Cassie and Tohru tookone look at the scene and decided it was deffinetly time for bed. "goodnight everyone..see you tomorrow!" Tohru waved, and Cassie led the way upstairs.
Gathered around the table, Yuki and Kyo ate in silence, while Shigure had an animated connversation with Cassie and Tohru about everything that crossed Shigure's mind.
