A/N: -sob- I'm so happy. Chapter Four.. Day two. Let the chapters continue! I gotta get writing, but, as promised, well, not really fluff, but awkwered moments, and stuff. And perhaps this one will be long for a change. Remember, I still have like 26 chapters to go, there'll be plent of time for fluff. Oh, and I won't be updating as much, do to a suggestion, mixed with a busy schedule. But, longer means less chapters posted, anyway. Which means tommorow, you may just have to live on what I have up, cus I may not be able to post. Now, on with the story. AND REVIEW! AND TAKE THE POLL IN CHPT. THREE! AND.. READ THE AUTHOR'S NOTE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT I'M PUTTING THERE YET! -Out-of-breath- Oh! Okay, I promise this is the last thing besides the disclaimer. Italics mean either a dream or a flashback. Oh, and I'm gunna do some song-fics to help my writers block. Maybe I'll post em.. Oh, wait no.. I lied, one more thing! Reviews! Wow. Thanks everyone. -sob- To tell you the truth, at first I was afraid of what I might read. Now, let me get a few things clear. One: I think I have an idea of who I want the pairings to be. But, looking at the poll so far, it's way too early to tell. Er.. no, there is no two. Well.. yeah, sorta. Two is that I think there isnt gonna' be an OC. Wow.. thanks everyone! Now, continued. P.S. Love Haru Fanclub.. I lub Haru, too. :) Not that it means Tohru will end up with him.. myabe.. -snicker-
Stupid-Corny-Pointless Disclaimer: I don't own Furuba. THERE! I SAID IT! If you've read the previous chapters' disclaimers, I'm still working on the whole World-Domination thing. Toodles!
Chapter 4---------- No Idea What To Name It Yet.
Tohru couldn't sleep much after her dream. And Akito.. what did he have to do with any of it? Her head began to swell. After about a half hour, she woke up again, and couldn't fall asleep for hours, when she finnaly got up to make breakfast early. Of course, she had time to bid Yuki good-bye.
{A/N: Flashback of when Yuki left, for those of you who didn't read the A/N at the end of the last chapter, Yuki left at 2:00 A.M.}
Tohru heard footstepts going up and down the stairs. She figured it must have been Yuki getting ready to leave, so she slipped her robe around her, and went to say goodbye. When she got downstairs, she met a desperate-looking Yuki, who was just about to leave. When he saw her, he looked a bit surprised, then smiled. Tohru smiled sleepily back at him. "Tohru," said Yuki. He sounded a bit nervous. "Yes?" Questioned Tohru. "Don't let..." He paused, thinking about Kyo, Haru, and Momiji staying with Tohru, and him not able to be there. He thought better of what he was about to say, and instead, replaced it with, "Be safe. And watch out for 'Black Haru'." They both giggled, and with that, Yuki left.
{A/N: End flashback.}
Tohru headed down into the kitchen, flicking a small light on. She nearly screamed in shock as soon as she saw the black haired boy, Hatsuharu, sitting at the table. His feet were propped up, as he read a comic. Tohru smiled a bit nervously, "Um.. Good morning, Hatsuharu! I didn't realize anyone was up." She smiled a bit more, as Haru looked up at her. "Oh.. I guess I couldn't sleep. I thought I'd made it up in time to see Yuki, but I guess not..." He drifted off.
Tohru thought about what Yuki had said. "...And watch out for 'Black Haru'..." This made Tohru giggle a bit to herself. Normally, Haru was such a sweet boy. Moments like this reminded her of it. It's really quite amazing how he can just, change.. However, Tohru's thoughts were quickly cleared as Haru started to talk. "Um.. Why are you up so early?" {A/N: Okay, I know it really annoys my readers when I put an Author's Note in the middle of a page like this, but just to let you know, I was highly debating whether or not to put Momiji in Haru's place, but Haru has a better reason for being up, I guess... o.o} Tohru blushed a bit. "Oh, well, ever sense I woke everyone up, it was hard for me to fall back asleep." Tohru paused for a bit. "Oh! I'm sorry! Is that why you're awake, too?" The 'ox' couldn't help but smile. "Oh, no. I guess I'm just one who's early to wake..."
"Well, sense we're both up, I might as well make breakfast! Anything special you'd like me to make?" Tohru smiled a bit. "Um.. no," Haru said lightly, gazing around the kitchen. "Okay," Tohru said cheerfully, as she started cooking.
" Um do-"
"Um I-"
Tohru and Haru smiled slightly at each other, before quickly lookin away.
{Initialize}
"Oh! You go first." T
"Oh, I wasn't going to say anything important." H
"Oh, neither was I." T
"Haru! Tohru! Good morning. I heard some noise downstairs, so I decided to come check it out!" -Momiji
"Neh..? Oh! Momiji! Good morning," Tohru smiled brightly at the younger boy. "I was just talking to Haru about what he wanted for breakfast. Would you like me to cook up anything special?" Momiji smiled sleepily. "Oh! Anything, I'm so excited! I finnaly get to try Tohru's famous cooking!" Tohru blushed. "Oh.. eh.. I don't think it's that special.."
"Nonsense, Tohru." Shigure walked into the kitchen, stretching a bit. "Your food is delicious." Tohru turned a deeper shade of pink. "Shigure! Good morning. Wow, almost everyone's up, I might as well cook up a big breakfast." Tohru turned, heading towards the counter, before a sheepish voice spoke. "Um.. I'm up now, and so is Kyo." Kisa walked slowly into the kitchen, before clinging onto Tohru. "I mean, how can anyone sleep with all the damn noise you were all causing down here?" The red-headed boy walked into the kitchen, taking a seat at the table.
"Kisa, Kyo! Good morning! Well, that's everyone. Did you sleep well last night?" -T
"You don't have to be so perky. It's nearly four A.M."- Ky
"As opposed to Kyo, who is clearly not a morning person." -S
"Oh, and what's that supposed to mean?!" -Ky
"Oh, I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I came at a terrible time! You were all talking, and in the middle of an important argument! And I interupted it all! I'm so sorry! I should have never came, I should have never been born into this world! I'm so SORRY! " -Ritsu
Kyo froze, along with what seemed to be the rest of the room, and all of time. "Wh-wh- GOD DAMMIT! WHAT THE HELL IS THAT CREEP DOING HERE?!" The older man stared at Kyo, horrified. Kyo had done it. "OH! KYO! I'm so sorry! You don't want me here! Nobody wants me here! I came at the most terrible time! I pollute the world by the very air that rycles in my body! I cause everyone trouble by being here! I'M SO SORRY! I'M SORRY MOM! I'M SORRY DAD! I'M SORRY TOHRU AND SHIGURE AND KYO AND YUKI AND KISA AND HATSUHARU AND HATORI AND AAYAME! I'm sorry that I know so many people, and have troubled them all with my presence! I should just rid myself now of the world, and make everyone happy! I SHOULD STOP THE SUFFERING!" Ritsu was about to run out the door, before Tohru stopped him.
"Oh! Ritsu! Good morning! No, it's no trouble! I was about to make a large breakfast, anyway! We'll need your help eating it all, anyway! Don't worry!" Ritsu smiled a bit, feeling reassured. "Oh- Okay."
The table was silent, as everyone shoveled food into their mouths. Smiling, Tohru broke the silence. "So, Ritsu, are you planning on staying the night?" Ritsu nearly jumped up in surprise. "Uh.. well, I was hoping I could.. maybe.." He looked down at his hands, twiddling his fingers. "Oh, that's no trouble at all! Eh.. well.. except the only open room is Shigure's... Oh! And Kyo's.." Kyo's fork froze, inches from his mouth, as the corner of his eyelid began to twitch. Shigure, grasping the opportunity, took a forkful of his own food and shoved it in Kyo's mouth, and said, "Of course! Kyo would be more than happy to let you stay in his room, Ritsu." Kyo's fist collided with Shigure's forehead.
{A/N: -sob- Please! Forgive me. That was a terrible chapter, but I was suffering severe writer's block while writing it, and I still felt as though I needed to finish it. So, here's the result. And, Ritsus here! Yay! Now, we have a few more characters to go, and then the real story will be able to basically get started. Right now, I guess you could say I'm setting every thing up, so I can play it all into my master-plot. Sorry for the typos! Oh, and you might want to go back and read chapters one through four, because I'm planning on re-spell checking them all. My computer, you see, no longer has spell check, so I have to do this all myself.. -sweatdrop-}
