Three's a Crowd
by Mizu & Sin
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Chapter 9: A Fight at the Dairy Queen*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sin looked up at Akito, "Sohma...?"
Akito smiled and nodded, "Here's a number where you can reach me. I'll help in any way that I can." The rain stopped. Akito closed his umbrella as a balck car pulled up next to him. "Take care Miss."
She held the slip of paper as she watched him leave, "Uhm.....OK...."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Shigure gave the class his favorite dog-like grin, "Alright. Today class, we're going to have a special guest speaker. Since this is creative writing class, I've invited an editor. Please be kind when she comes."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Haru smiled while remembering what had happened in class. Mii had been their "guest speaker". By the time class was almost over, she had nearly jumped out of the window due to Shigure.
He then frowned, Mizu hadn't been in class today.
"Are you alright Haru?" Momiji asked, looking up at his cousin.
The cow of the zodiac shrugged, "I dunno, but I think that I did something wrong."
Momiji gave him a worries look then a cheerful smile. "Well you get to think about it while we go deliver her homework."
"Her? Homework?" Haru blinked.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Uo frowned then looked over ay Yuki and Tohru, "Where's carrot-top been these past few days? Is he still at the hospital with his girlfriend?"
Tohru smiled, "Hai! He's going to stay there until Kagura gets out. Which shouldn't be too much longer."
Yuki shook his head, "Not if Kagura has a say. She wouldn't want him to miss too much school."
Hana nodded, "Though it is terrible what happened to her, I think it was a wake-up call to Kyo as to just how much he cares for her," she said in her usual soft voice.
The others were quiet, but nodded.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Haru took a deep breath as he and Momiji made their way down an unfamilliar street. He didn't know why he was so nervous. Momiji was right next to him, so he couldn't get lest, still, something was eating at him.
Momiji tugged on the boys sleeve, "We're here Haru," he said, pointing towards a house.
It was a large, beautiful house. White washed outer walls and a dark blue teracotta roof. Green vines climbed up the sides of the house as well as on the white brick wall that surrounded it.
The two cousins walked through the path that lead up to the front door.
"Wow! Look at all these flowers! And the size of that house! Her family must be loaded!" Momiji exclaimed. Haru nodded and rang the doorbell.
Almost immediatly, a green eyed, auburn haired girl opened the door. She glared at the Sohma boys, "What?"
Momiji frowned, "You're not very polite."
The girl raised an eyebrow, "YOU come to MY home, unterrupting me from the final level of my Angelic Layer video game, and expect me to be polite?"
"Does a girl named Mizu live here?" Haru asked. "We're here to deliver her homework."
The girl glared for a minute before turing to face the stairs that led to the second floor. "Baka! You got guests!" She then walked off mumbling when she heard her sister's footsteps.
"Momiji!" the blue haired girl chirped. (she couldn't see Haru yet)
"Mizu-chan!" he cheered, "Who was that girl?"
"My younger sister," Mizu replied. She then noticed Haru, "Hello Hatsuharu."
He frowned, "I brought your homework."
"Is that all?"
Haru looked at her, confused.
Momiji looked between the two. "Uhmm...."
"Momiji? Do you think you can go keep my sister company while me and Haru talk?" She asked the blonde.
He nodded then skipped off in the direction Usagi had went earlier.
"Are you alright?" Haru asked, noticing the sadness in Mizu's eyes.
Mizu sighed, "Haru? Do you...like me?"
"Uhm...yeah, I mean, I wouldn't be your firend if I didn't," he answered.
"No! I mean....do you REALLY like me..?"
Haru sighed and leaned against the doorway, "Ofcourse I do. If I didn't....then I wouldn't have told you about the curse. And I began to like you even more when you excepted me...you wanted to be my friend even though you knew that it could cost you everything."
She looked up at him, "That girl you kissed the other day....does she know?"
"What girl? I kissed a girl?" he asked surprised.
"Yeah...infront of that male store."
"A girl?"
"You mean it was a guy?!"
Haru chuckled and shook his head, "I'm sorry, but you must have been mistaken. I've never kissed anyone. Ever."
Mizu gave him a look of confusion, "But..."
"I really haven't. That is....," he stood up and walked over to Mizu, gripping her chin gently, "...Until now..."
"H-Haru..." She blushed as he leaned closer.
"AHEM!"
Both of them quickly pushed apart, hearing the voice.
A tall kid with long blue hair, sharp blue eyes and pale skin frowned at them. "I hope I'm not interrupting anything," he said in a somewhat sarcastic tone.
"Kai! Uhm...nope! Nothing at all!" Mizu laughed nervously.
"Uh-huh. Right. Well Water-Babe, your mail came to my house again," He stated, handing her a few envelopes.
"Thanks Kai! See ya later!" she sweat dropped while waving.
Haru raised as eyebrow, "Water-Babe?"
"Just an old nickname," she laughed nervously again. "It's getting late, no need to get Sohma-sensei worried about you." She turned to face the hallway, trying not to show her bright red face. "Momiji-kun!"
"DAMNIT! I'm almost finished with the last level!" they heard the rabbit yell.
They could hear Usagi in the background, laughing like a psycho. The teens sweat dropped.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
*Later that night...*
"I'm leaving now!" Tohru called out, Hiro and Kisa by her side.
"Where are you going Tohru?" Momiji asked, seeming to pop out of nowhere.
"We're going to Dairy Queen," Hiro answered, "We're in the mood for icecream."
"Can I come too?!" Momiji pleaded.
Tohru smiled, "Of course."
Kisa nodded, "Yuki's coming too."
"Me too," Haru said as he walked into the crowded room.
Hiro raised as eyebrow, "Where in the hell did you come from?"
"Tohru-kun!" a sing song voice called from the hallway.
"Yes Shigure?"
"Can you pick up a chocolate cake with cherries on the top for me?" he asked.
"Ofcourse Shigure! See you soon!"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
*They arrived at Dairy Queen*
As the walked up to the counter they were greeted by a young girl, "Hi! My I take your or--der..." The girl glared at Haru, "You? What are you doing here? Come to stick your tongue down my throat again?"
Haru blinked, "Uhm..."
She then ignored Haru and went back to the other Sohmas and one Honda, "As I was saying, my name is Sin, how may I help you?"
After giving their orders, the group walked over and sat in one of the booths.
"I take it you know her?" Yuki asked as he adjusted his hat.
"Uhm....I guess so," Haru answered, unsure.
"Hey Yuki, why are you wearing a hat and sunglasses?" Hiro asked his older cousin.
"A few of the girls here go to my school, I'm afaid that they might recoginze me." Yuki explained.
Hiro raised an eyebrow in question, "And that's bad why?"
"Do you even know who I am Hiro?" Yuki sighed.
"Yuki Sohma?"
Dairy Queen went dead silent for a moment before a girl shreiked, "It's Prince Yuki Sohma!" All of the girls ran over to their table.
Yuki tried to scoot as far into the booth as possible to avoid the mob.
Tohru frowned, "Forgive me," she whispered into his ear right before kissing him.
The fangirls stopped, frozen in shock.
"Tohru Honda is going out with Prince Yuki?!!"
"No! That can't be right!"
"Awe man! This sucks!"
"Yah, lets go drown our sorrows in milkshakes."
"YAH!"
The girls walked off.
Haru coughed.
"Uhm..sissy? I think that you can stop now," Kisa said with a blush.
"Yeah, get a room," Hiro mumbled.
Tohru slowly pulled away from Yuki, blushing deeply.
Yuki on the other hand had a stupid grin on his face.
"Your orders are ready!" the red haired waitress chirped, popping out of nowhere. She smiled sweetly as she served the group, but glared while giving Haru his order.
Haru noticed that a group of guys at the table across from them were giving Sin wolfish grins and perverted glances. As she walked past their table, one of them tripped her then grabbed her, forcing her into his lap.
"Sir! Please let me get back to work!" She pleaded, struggling against him.
"Awe, common baby," he breathed into her ear as his friends laughed. The three guys continued to harass her. Haru glared at them, turing Black. He stood up.
"Haru?" Yuki blinked.
He ignored his cousin and made his way over to the table.
The three guys looked up at him. "What do you want?" one of them asked.
"Yeah. I'd like you to ger your hands offa my girl!"
Sin looked up at him with pleading eyes. As hard as she was trying, she couldn't overpower them.
The man with Sin in his lap smiled and smile that said "just try and get her" while his hands moved over her body.
Haru twitched as she whimpered. "If you're looking for a fight, I'll give you one. You three against me." he snarled.
The guy pushed Sin off his lap as he and his friends stood up. "You're on."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kagura and Kyo looked up from where they were sitting as Tohru walked in. "Hi Kagura! How are you feeling?" she asked as she walked up to the couple, the others trailing behind her.
Kagura smiled happily. "I've been doing great! Kyo's been helping a lot!"
Kyo blushed.
"We brought you some chocolate cream puffs," Kisa stated, walking over to Kagura.
Kagura's smile widened, "Thank you!"
"What took you guys so long?" Kyo asked.
"The cow got into a fight," Hiro replied.
Kyo and Kagura exchanged glances.
"It all started when this group of guys were ahrrassing this girl...."
* 1 hour ago *
The three guys continued to laugh as they walked outside and into a side alley.
Yuki had followed his cousin and the men outside, to make sure that Haru didn't get too out of hand.
Needless to say, the fight lasted about three minutes, four tops. Black Haru frowned as he dumped the three guys into a dumpster. "That'll teach you bastards."
"You done yet Haru?" Yuki asked dully. Black Haru smirked at his cousin. Yuki sighed and hit Haru on the side of the head, "Snap out of it."
Almost instantly, he turned back to White. "Huh? Yuki? What are we doing in an alley?"
* Now *
Kyo raised an eyebrow while Kagura giggled, "My hero!" she chirped.
Haru smiled, though he didn't understand why, or what he had did for that matter.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sin sighed as she walked out of the Dairy queen.
"Miss Sin!" a voice to her left called out.
Sin turned and smiled, "Akito!"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Mizu: Well, that's it for this chappy! Hope you enjoyed it. Don't you love the evil cliffies? Oh well, Sin will pick it up in the next chappy! Please R+R! Flames are welcome, they help me make smores ^___^ R+R!
