A/N: Okay I'm conflicted, I love Kyou and so I want Tohru to go for Yuki, but I also think Kyou deserves to beat Yuki at something, and it would be wrong to deprive Kyou of Tohru just because I want him for myself, Right? I wish I was a reader instead of a creative genius. I would also like to take this time to thank SOTGD for the pie, it was very good and exactly what I needed, and the-sixth-shinobi who gave me a swift kick in the pants which I also needed and Juri 14 who read the story before I posted it and said it was good and so why I put it up. If you're still reading this you should know this is not the story, the stories down there, read it. (edited 08/07/05)


"Who am I kidding, like she'd ever want to go to the dance with me."

"Kyou? Are you up here, I brought you some rice balls, I know you said you weren't hungry, but I thought you might want some anyway."

Kyou turned away from her "Go away."

"Oh! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bug you, I'll just leave the rice balls here."

"No! That's not what I meant to say, you can stay, it's just sometimes you don't get it. I heard about Yuki and the dance."

"Oh! Well you see Yuki has to go and he doesn't want anyone to find out about the secret, so he asked me to go so no one would slow dance with him."

"You see, you really don't get it! He asked you because he wanted to go with you, and you said yes because that's the kind of person you are, but I wanted to go with you! be the one dancing with you!" Tohru was crimson/Kyou's yelling at me again/ but she knew it was because he meant what he was saying.

"Oh, I'm so stupid, I promised Yuki I'd go with him without even considering your feelings, I'm so sorry!" Suddenly a light bulb, "I know!"

"What?" /and why do I get the feeling I don't want to hear/

"How about we all go together? Then I can dance with you too. It'll be fun Uo and Hana can come too"

"I don't want a pity dance Tohru, and how can you even think I'd want to go anywhere with that rat and those creepy chicks!"

Tohru remained quiet, it seemed no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't make Kyou happy "Besides," Kyou said calmly "I can't dance."

"I could teach you how, I'd really like to dance with you, Kyou."

"No thanks, I'm not going to dance with you!" /Not like that, she has to respect me, I have to learn on my own/ Noticing Tohru was still sitting there, he took a bite of the rice ball. " 's cold."

"I'm sorry! I can warm it up if you want me to."

"No, it's fine just do better next time, and will you stop staring at me! I hate it when people watch me eat."

"I'm sorry Kyou, I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable, I'll leave." Tohru went to bed, they were going to see Aaya tomorrow and even she had to admit, she found him a little exhausting.


"So the Prince asked you to the dance?" Uo was skeptical of Yuki's motives.

"Mm Hmm! Wasn't it nice of him, and he's even getting his brother to make my dress, we're going there after school today.

"
Hana's eyes grew darker, electricity was visible around her body, "It's okay Uo, if he tries any thing, I'd be glad to teach him a lesson."

"Not without me you won't."

"I'm sure that wont be necessary, you guys!" /They always get so carried away with protecting me/

"Hey, look over there," Uo had just noticed Kyou was glaring at Yuki, clenching his fists, his entire body emitting flames of rage.
"Something tells me Kyou's got this one covered."

"Darn, I haven't gotten to practice in such a long time."

"Yeah where are those fan club girls anyway? My fists have been itching for a fight."


Mean while in a near-by classroom, "We must find a way to get that witch Tohru Honda away from Prince Yuki at the dance!" President Motoko yelled, she had been trying for weeks to get Yuki to go with her to the dance, she wasn't about to let Tohru walk away unscathed.

"How about we poison her punch?" Asked Number Two. They all stared at her.

"We're fanatics, not murderers Number Two!" Minami yelled.

"Well then what's your great idea, Minami." Number Two asked still thinking /A little arsenic would get her out of my way for good/
Minami opened her mouth to say something but couldn't think of anything, so she was relieved when Number One cut in. "How about one of us accidentally spills punch all over her dress? Then she'll have to leave the dance, and Yuki will be all ours"

"Excellent idea Number One, and because it was your idea, I think it's only fair that you be the one to execute it." President Motoko suggested.

"M-me?" Number one swallowed hard, she despised Tohru Honda but maybe not enough to risk becoming a human lightning bolt.

"Your sacrifice will not go unnoticed, if you spill the punch I will allow you to be the first to dance with Yuki." President Motoko also did not want to incur the wrath of Hanajima or that Yankee she was always with.

"D-dance with Prince Yuki?" Number Ones head clouded with visions of Yuki spinning her around the dance floor. "I'll do it!"

"Then it's settled, next Friday at the dance Miss Tohru Honda, will pay." /As soon as Number One spills that punch Yuki will be mine/ President Motoko burst into laughter, and was soon joined by the other three, who had been entertaining similar thoughts.


A/N: Kyou's kind of whiny in this one now that I read it over, but I like it! Please review I want you to! Hey a rhyme how cute!
