Invasion of the Riceballs
Chapter THREE (short chapter)
For the whole morning the next day, riceballs started to appear all over the house. Nobody claimed that they even put a finger on them. First there was one in the hallway and Tohru's room, and then suddenly they were on the yard! Tohru kept on getting ideas that, maybe Shigure's house really is haunted after all. She started to get scared every single time she saw a riceball. The most unusual place she found them was when they were floating in the bath, as if they were swimming!
"I wonder what it is with the riceballs," Yuki said frantically. "Miss Honda doesn't have anything to do with them." Kyo smirked as he looked at Yuki. "We might as well call this event 'Invasion of the Riceballs'." Then he laughed. Shigure read his paper, and flung away the riceball he found on his paper. "These are starting to get really annoying." He mumbled to himself. "I feel sorry for Tohru, she's worrying about it too much." "Shigure, don't get a swelled head." Yuki said.
When Momiji had left to go back with Hatori, Tohru sat down. As soon as she sat, she heard a squish on the chair. "Did I just...OH MY GOD!" She yelled and yelled and couldn't stop screaming. She squished 2 riceballs! Her clothes were sticky. She was going to change shortly.
After changing, she was on her way to the laundry. As she was about to turn her head around, she detected slight movement beside her. There stood 4 riceballs, on the same spot where she had sat earlier. "What the!?" She exclaimed very loudly. "How did you get there?! I'm starting to get scared!" Yuki came shortly and asked 'Miss Honda' what was going on. "Those riceballs...moved. And I just squished two of them, too!" She said, knowing Yuki wasn't going to believe her. "I believe you..." He said. "You...DO!?" "It's only reasonable to. When I was taking a nap, I woke up and a riceball was right in my face. It scared me so much, I turned into a rat."
Strange riceball-related things happened that day. Shigure found riceballs in his drawer (on his underwear). Kyo found them when he was eating the cake leftovers-there was a riceball in it. "How did this thing get here?!" He yelled. He was now using riceballs for training. Punching, whacking, and smashing them. Yuki ignored them when he had found them floating in the toilet. "How'd they get here?!"
