Hello. Snaps to all of my reviewers! Uh...just to let you know, this is the second-to-last chappie, sorry to disappoint. Now, enough of m stalling, and on with the story!
CHAPTER SEVEN: DOUBLE DATE
"Aww Tohru, do we have to? You know I that damn rat, and I'm not to keen on Ayaki either."
"It'll be fun! I know that you and Yuki have your differences, but there a lot of things that are worse. And Ayaki really is a good person." Tohru squeezed Kyou's hand, while trying to meet his eyes, but failing miserably.
"I dunno Tohru. There's just something about her, the way she looks at you, the way she talks, it's like she's setting s trap that everyone's falling for. Or am I just totally crazy?" Kyou finally looked up, meeting Tohru's gaze with a serious expression she had never seen before.
"No Kyou-kun, not totally crazy, but if you're being so serious, I guess we'll just have to keep an eye on Ayaki." Tohru squeezed Kyou's hand again, and smiled.
Damn. Honda's guy is on to me! And he lives wither her and Yuki, too! Wait a minute. That's it. I wonder what everyone will think when they find out that goody-two-shoes, Miss Tohru Honda, is living under the same roof as the two hottest guys in school. Ayaki smirked and walked off the balcony she was standing on, aka, perfect place for eavesdropping.
:D :P :D
Tohru did a little twirl in front of the mirror, making sure she looked perfect for Kyou. She was wearing a short denim skirt, a white off-the-shoulders top, and there were two white ribbons tied in her hair. I really hope he's impressed. I know Kyou-kun likes me, but it can't hurt to do something extra. And Yuki! I can't imagine him asking Ayaki on a date two weeks ago. Maybe he's really, really hurt. Yuki probably hates me. And he probably hates Kyou more than he did, because of me. If he only likes Ayaki, because he's on the rebound, he'll hurt her too. Oh, what have I done?
:D :P :D
Kyou opened the door to his closet and frowned. He really didn't have anything to wear on a date. Hm. Black shirt, black shirt, black shirt, navy blue-no wait that's black too. Shit! Everything I own is black. And I'm sure as hell not gonna wear my uniform. Ahh, screw it. She's never had a problem with black before. But what if Yuki wears something better, and she falls in love with him? "SHIGURE!"
"Yes, Kyou? I am at your mercy."
"I need your help."
"Oh my god! Am I hearing right? Does precious Kyou-kun actually need help with something?"
"Tohru, Yuki, Ayaki, and I are going on a date, and all I have is black."
"Right this way Kyou!"
:D :P :D
"Oh, hello Tohru, Yuki, Kyou! Where are we going?" Ayaki smiled and stepped outside. Yuki immediately grabbed her hand. Kyou glared at Ayaki, and took Tohru's hand.
"Oh we're going to that new little café uptown." Tohru said, smiling, and picking up her pace.
"Really? I've wanted to go there for ages!" Ayaki squealed, and Tohru grinned again Kyou frowned. What is up with her? I know that she doesn't like Tohru in the least! "Come on Tohru. I want to show you...something...in this store." Kyou led her away, and pulled her into a gift shop.
"What is it Kyou-kun?"
"I really think Ayaki is up to something." Kyou walked around the store, picking up random items, then putting them back down.
"What is she going to do?"
"I don't know, probably something like tell everyone we're going out, the say that you and rat-boy and I live together." Kyou pulled Tohru over to a jewelry counter, held up a choker, and nodded. "Do you like it?" he said, absentmindedly.
"Oh yes, Kyou-kun!"
Kyou smiled and dragged Tohru over to the registers. He paid, and then the walked out of the store, holding hands. Tohru took out the choker, put it around her neck, and struggled to fasten the clasp. Kyou chuckled to himself, and put his hands over hers. "You look beautiful," he said softly.
"Thank you," she said, just as quietly.
Kyou stood up and grabbed Tohru's hand, pulling her up too, and then went back to find Yuki and Ayaki. "Just keep an eye on her," Kyou whispered.
"Oh, Tohru, is that necklace new?" Yuki asked, in his creepy, soft voice.
"Yes! Kyou-kun just got it for me," Tohru said, still smiling.
"It's really nice. Well, let's go!"
:D :P :D
"Is that all, or are there more coming?" A casually dressed waitress asked, looking bored. Kyou stared her down for a minute, and then nodded. "That's it."
The waitress made a face at Kyou and then gestured to the group. "Right this way."
As soon as the waitress left, Tohru and Ayaki started to talk about girly things.
"Ohmigawd, this is soooooo amazing!"
"I know! And aren't the decorations just ADORABLE?"
Kyou and Yuki stared at the walls thoughtfully, trying to figure out just what was so amazing, and then looked at each other.
"So...what would you like to do after we eat...er, Yuki?" Kyou said, resisting the urge to call Yuki "Damn rat." Tohru cast Kyou a quick glance, and then returned to her conversation with Ayaki.
"I don't know Kyou, what would you like to do?" This time, both Tohru and Ayaki gave them strange looks. "What's going on here?" Ayaki asked, staring at Kyou, then Yuki.
"We're trying to get along, you gotta a problem with that?" Kyou said defensively, glaring at Ayaki. Tohru quickly jumped in. "No! It's wonderful. We should do this more often!"
"Don't count on it," the rat and the cat said in unison.
:D :P :D
Kyou glared at Ayaki and Yuki walking up ahead, and stuck out his tongue, making a face.
"Kyou, stop that! The people that are not Ayaki and Yuki probably think that you are insane!" Tohru scolded, poking Kyou in the ribs.
"You're no fun! You know how much I hate both of them! Can we split up? Please?" Kyou looked up at Tohru with huge innocent eyes, clasping his hands together.
"Okay, okay! Let me go tell Yuki!"
"You're the greatest Tohru!"
"You give me too much credit Kyou-kun." Tohru walked over to Yuki, who had a slight frown on his face, and Ayaki, who looked like she was in heaven.
"Uh, Yuki?"
"Yes, Tohru?" Yuki said coldly.
'Kyou-kun and I are going to go catch a movie. See you at home, okay?"
"Have a good time," Yuki said, his voice even colder. Tohru walked back to Kyou, and kissed his cheek. "Let's go."
:D :P :D
"Oh Yuki, isn't that so cute?"
"Yeah Ayaki, sure." Yuki sighed, and glanced in the direction of the movie theater. This is all that stupid cat's fault. If he hadn't asked Tohru out, I wouldn't be having a terrible time with stupid Ayaki!
"What's wrong Yuki?" Ayaki cooed.
"Nothing Ayaki. What do you want to do?"
"Um..." Ayaki trailed off, and took a look around. "OOH LOOK! A CARNIVAL! Let's go Yuki!"
Yuki sighed again. "Sure Ayaki."
:D :P :D
"AAAH! Don't eat meek!" Bob the clown shouted as a poodle inched closer to him. Tohru gave an involuntary shudder as the poodle took a chunk out of Bob's leg. Kyou gave her a strange look, and squeezed her hand. Shigure is the most wonderful cousin a guy could have! If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be sitting in a darkened movie theater with the girl I'm in love with. Heh. Who would've guessed? I be that they all thought that she was going to get with Yuki. I've finally beaten him. I could see how mad he got when I held Tohru's hand. And he probably doesn't like Ayaki either. I never thought Yuki would break someone's heart. For once, I'm not the bad guy. Yes, I must remember to thank Shigure. Get him some pocky or something. Shigure loves pocky!
"Kyou, why are you still sitting? The movie's over!"
"Oh, uh...yeah, sorry. I was reflecting on the movie."
"Oh, that's great! I guess we should go get Yuki and Ayaki."
"They've probably made each other sick by now. We should just go home."
"Kyou!"
"Okay, fine! We'll go look for them!"
:D :P :D
"Yuuuki, what ride do you want to go on next?"
"Er, bumper cars?"
"You're so silly Yuki! We've been on the bumper cars four times already! Let's go on the Tunnel of Love!"
"NO! I mean...no, I'm afraid of boat rides! I'm claustrophobic too." I can't be hugged by Ayaki, and I don't want to be hugged by Ayaki.
"Aww, come on Yuki! I'm sure I could help you get over your fear," Ayaki said in a very, very suggestive voice.
"Er..."
"Please?"
"YUKI, AYAKI! Get your asses over here! We're supposed to be home in five minutes!" Yuki spotted Kyou, with Tohru in tow, and frowned. I have to remember to thank him someday.
"Okay dear cousin, Tohru, lovely Ayaki. We're off!"
END CHAPTER SIX.
How was that? I tried to make it longer, I really did. Sorry about the whole Bob the clown thing. It's sorta an inside joke. I like pocky. Do you like pocky? What's your favorite flavor? Sooo review then, and I'll be very happy. Peace out.
