Disclaimer: I don't own Fruits basket or Kiddy Grade, but Julian and Trent are mine! Pairings: There aren't any romantic pairings in this fanfic, at least not yet A/N- Occasionally, in specific lines of dialogue, there will be words in brackets. These words are simply thoughts, and are not spoken aloud.
"Shigure! Julian! Hello? Is anyone here?" Yuki called as he walked into the house late on Sunday afternoon, followed by Tohru and Kyo. The school trip had been...um...interesting to say the least. And Yuki was glad that except for that one time, he and Kyo had been able to keep the Sohma family secret. True, that one exception to that statement had nearly cost him his life, but no one was the wiser. At least...no one who didn't know about them before knew now. All things considering though, Yuki had decided to stay away from co-ed swimming. It was just better that way.
"Yeah. Like move, stupid rat! They ain't here. Obviously. "Kyo snapped as he shoved past Yuki and stalked down the hall toward the kitchen, his bag forgotten in the hall.
"Don't just leave your stuff in the middle of the hall, you lazy cat." Yuki yelled after him, though he was ignored. "I wonder where they've gone?" Yuki muttered to himself as he stepped aside.
"Maybe they went to go get something to eat or something. Though I thought we had told Shigure what time we'd be back. "Tohru said, a worried frown on her face.
"Well, perhaps. Maybe they've just gone for a walk. I don't think it's anything to be too concerned about. I'm sure they'll be back in several hours at the..." Yuki was saying when a yell from the kitchen interrupted him.
"Hey! There ain't no milk! Or bread! Or anything else for that manner! What the heck!! "Kyo yelled. Yuki and Tohru glanced at each other as they heard the refrigerator slam shut. They both hurried for the kitchen then, their suitcases left in the entryway.
They entered the kitchen to find Kyo searching through the cupboards as he grumbled under his breath. Evidently his search wasn't bearing much fruit if the slamming of the doors was any indication.
"There should be milk here at least. I left them a shopping list. And I don't see it anywhere." Tohru said as she walked over and opened the refrigerator, glancing inside. It looked pretty empty. As empty as it had been when they'd left almost a week ago. Oddly enough, though, the stew and strawberry pie she had left for Shigure and Julian were still there as well. Untouched.
"Well, that's odd. The stew I left is still here. It's like they left the same day as we did and haven't been back since. You don't think something terrible has happened to them, do you?" Tohru asked in panic as she shut the fridge and began to wring her hands.
"Shigure?! He's too stupid to let something terrible to happen to him." Kyo said with a snort as he leaned across the counter, his arms folded across his chest.
"...Let's wait a couple of hours. They may just be out, or perhaps they'll call. Maybe they went to stay at the main house...or the lake house. Though I wouldn't know why. If we don't hear from them, I'll call Hatori." Yuki said as he glanced at his watch. It was 2 then. He'd give them until 5 or so.
"See. I told you something was weird about that Julian chick. She'd probably an axe murderer. "Kyo said with a smirk as Tohru's eyes grew as wide as saucers. Yuki sighed and closed his eyes as he shook his head. Really. They could both be so ridiculous.
He he...guess the only being gone for 1 day was wishful thinking on someone's part... Enjoy! Look for the next update in about a week or so.
