Chapter 4- Unexpected Companions
Sasuke wakes up in Tohru's room only to discover that Tohru was already downstairs cooking breakfast. He immediately gets up, does what he usually does to get ready, then proceeds and goes downstairs to eat breakfast. Kyo's outside doing a little training while Yuki's waits at the table. Shigure comes in singing "Breakfast time! Breakfast time! Tohru's yummy breakfast time!"
"Okay everyone! Breakfast is ready. Shigure, could you go and get Kyo please?" Tohru asks while setting the food on the table.
"Why certainly." Shigure almost leaves to get Kyo.
Hearing that the dumb dog is coming, Kyo immediately answers, "Okay! Okay! I'm coming!" Kyo goes in and sits down and they all then begin eating.
"Wow Tohru, your breakfast is delicious!" Sasuke yells out.
"Arigato Sasuke." She tips her head to him.
They all finish their breakfast. Shigure goes up to his room to his 'so called' work, while the others get ready for school. After a few minutes, Tohru, Kyo, and Yuki are all set to bring Sasuke to school. And always, while they are walking, they have to converse.
"Tohru! After school, could we spend the day together?" Sasuke asks out of the blue.
"Of course!" She smiles "Kyo, Yuki, would you like to come?"
"I couldn't sleep last night, so I'm very tired. After school, I'm going home to rest." Kyo answers, then yawns.
"I would love to come, but I'd rather have just you two be together, just for today." Yuki replies with a smile.
"Are you sure Yuki? You wouldn't be interfering if you came." Sasuke asks, kind of wanting Yuki to come.
"Yes, I insist that you two be together today."
"Hai, If you insist!" He then faces Tohru "Tohru! I'll meet you after school in the front gate, there I'll introduce you to my cousins and you could introduce me to your best friends."
"Are your cousins coming?" She now suddenly wants them to come so she could get two of the closest people in Sasuke's life.
"No, they can't. Their mom wouldn't approve." He answers sadly while nodding his head in disapproval of their mom.
"Oh." She responds, seeming mildly disappointed.
They walk the rest of the way in without talking, which was surprising because Sasuke talks whenever he gets the chance. They drop off Sasuke and proceed to the high school.
"Kora Sasuke. AN: No exclamations mark because this is Megumi What happened yesterday?" Megumi asks after approaching him.
"You'll never believe it! Yesterday I met these cool people and my long lost cousin!" Sasuke raves about it.
"You're right, I don't believe it." Megumi replies with the same look on his face.
"No seriously," His eyes became half closed to show his seriousness "I met her and found out where she lives. I'm staying with her for the next month."
"So who is this cousin of yours?" Megumi asks with a curious voice.
"I'll tell you later, you probably wouldn't know her anyway." Sasuke answers, without really answering.
"So there's no point of me knowing her name, since I probably wouldn't know her." Megumi reinterprets what Sasuke just said.
"Well if you put it that way, then all right. Now come on! Let's go get Sakura." They walk to the front entrance, then suddenly are forced to stop by a certain friend, who goes by the name of Sakura. She obviously not happy by the way she's glaring at Sasuke.
"I heard about what happened yesterday." She nearly yells out with a hard tone.
"What do you mean Sakura?" Sasuke asks as if nothing has happened.
"Don't play dumb with me, carrying Kisa all the way back to her home!" She puts her hands together like she is in pain "(When will he get that I have a crush on him!)" Then goes back to normal "So you brought her home, okay that's being nice, but spending the rest of the day! What did you do with her the entire time?!" Sakura spits out like it's venom.
Editor's Note: You're a loser, Author
"You were with Kisa the entire time? So our buddy Sasuke does have a crush on Kisa. That whole lost cousin thing was just a cover up right?" Megumi says very sarcastically with a weird smile on his face.
"No it wasn't! I only talked with her a little bit. It was her older cousins that I was with, in fact they were very nice, thank you." He says very properly.
"Hai, hai. We believe you, don't we Sakura?" Megumi winks to Sakura. AN: Remember, I'm making Megumi act like how he'd probably act if he was being normal.
"You better have just been talking! Cause if I find out you did more than that! You are so gonna get it from me!" Sakura storms off without them.
"What's gotten into her?" Sasuke asks with a sweatdrop.
"I think she's becoming protective of you Sasuke." Megumi says sarcastically and nudges Sasuke a little.
"Nani? No way! Only people with very close relationships do that." Sasuke yells in denial getting away from Megumi.
"Exactly." He points at him.
He stutters a bit, "But, but, we're just best friends!" Sasuke sweatdrops more, trying not to accept the fact that Sakura likes him more than a friend.
"Just best friends, eh?" He gives up "Oh well, you don't get it. We're almost going to be tardy." He waves his hand to go now.
"Ika zo!" Let's go They both walk quickly to their next class.
The rest of the school day goes by as normal as any school day could be, except for the constant glaring Sasuke received from a not so happy Hiro after finding out that Kisa spent the entire day with another boy.
Sasuke's face goes from cheerful as always, to slumped down. His face had no nose, his eyes were half circles with the pupils smaller, and he had a giant sweatdrop running across his forehead. "(Hiro needs to lighten up a bit. Sheesh!)"
The dismissal bell rings and Sasuke, with Meiling and Tomoyo, run to the front gate of the high school to meet up with Tohru, Uo, and Hana. When Tohru comes out, Sasuke doesn't even bother looking at the other two so he doesn't notice Hana.
"Tohru! I'm so happy to see you! This are my twin cousins Meiling and Tomoyo Kinomoto." He shows Tohru both of them.
"It's very nice to meet another one of Sasuke's cousins." Meiling bows down to Tohru in greeting.
"Yo!" Tomoyo says like how Uo would.
"Sasuke told me all about you and that you're really great to be around." Meiling announces.
"I wanted to meet you right away after Sasuke told me about you." Tomoyo adds.
"Well, nice meeting you two. Sasuke, this is Arisa Uotani, one of my two best friends." Up approaches Sasuke.
"Great to meet you squirt!" Uo raffles his hair "Just call me Uo! That's what Tohru always calls me."
"And this is..."
Just then, "SAKI!" Sasuke cuts off Tohru and runs up to Hana.
"Sasuke, what a pleasant surprise meeting you here." Hana says while giving Sasuke a small hug.
"So you two know each other?" Tohru asks while becoming confused.
"Of course! Saki is my best friend's sister!" Sasuke informs them all.
"Wait! So your best friend is Megumi?" Uo asks.
"Yup! I think it's so weird how my cousin is your best friend!" Sasuke remarks with a 'No way!' tone.
"Yes, it's very strange indeed." Hana replies with her usual expression.
"So I guess I'll being seeing you more." Uo tells Sasuke.
"I guess you will." Sasuke replies happily
"Well Tohru, I have to go now. Bye Sasuke." Hana tells them.
"Bye Saki! Tell Megumi the weird news!" Tohru waves goodbye to them.
"I will." Hana answers then leaves.
"How about you Uo? What are you doing today?" Tohru asks.
"No idea! I'll just go home. See you two later." Uo runs home. Sasuke's cousins leave right after Uo does, leaving Tohru and Sasuke to themselves.
"So Sasuke, what do you want to do today?" Tohru asks Sasuke, being that he was the one that asked to spend the day with Tohru.
"There's a movie I want to see, but that's at six, so for the next three hours I want to um, I want to...." Sasuke stops there, because he doesn't really know what he wants to do.
"Well?" She asks wanting to know where he wants to go.
Finally, it he got it. "I want to go to the park! We might find something to do there."
"Hai! Ika zo!" Tohru and Sasuke go on their way to the park, which isn't that far away. There they see a pair of familiar faces.
"Kisa? Hiro? What are you doing here?" Tohru asks not expecting to see them.
"Why is it any of your business? What, do I need a permit to be here or something? And what's that boy doing here with you?" Hiro going on as usual with the questions instead of giving a direct answer.
"You haven't changed a bit." Sasuke comments with a small laugh.
"Hiro, stop. I wanted to go here to play with some kids, but no one was here, then you two came." Kisa explains to the two.
"(Why does Kisa always have to say everything!) Yeah whatever!" Hiro adds while turning his head away from Tohru and Sasuke.
Sasuke gives Hiro a small glare. "So you want to come with us today? At six we're going to watch a movie." He offers.
"So what are you going to do for the next three hours?" Kisa asks, liking the idea of spending the day with her sissy.
"We have no idea." Tohru and Sasuke both say.
"I have an idea, let's go to the amusement park." Hiro suggests, while not caring what others think.
"Okay!" Tohru responds like it's nothing.
"But isn't that a lot to spend?" Sasuke asks Hiro.
"Don't worry, I'll pay for me and Kisa, and Tohru can pay for you two." Sasuke turns to Tohru with a worried look on his face.
"I never really have a lot of money Tohru." He admits.
"That's okay! I'll be glad to pay for you." Tohru smiles, hoping that that will make him feel better.
"Uh, hai." Sasuke replies, now feeling even more uncomfortable. AN: I always feel strange when someone, other than close family, like parents, pay for me or buy me things whenever.
Hiro leads them to the amusement park and there they spend the day together.
"You want to ride or play games?" Hiro asks.
"We think we'll ride first, then eat, then play some games." Sasuke plans.
Hiro then towers over Sasuke with a stress mark on his head. "And since when did you do all the planning huh? What are you, the leader? Cause I don't think so."
Kisa then stops Hiro. "Hiro, I like that way."
"You're forgiven." Hiro says to Sasuke.
"R..i..g..h..t!" Sasuke slowly says sarcastically.
"So what ride do you want to go on first?" Tohru asks.
"BUMPER CARS!!" Hiro and Sasuke both yell.
Tohru then turns to Kisa. "How about you Kisa?"
"I'll just watch for now." Kisa answers with a smile.
So, they go over to the bumper cars. Hiro and Sasuke both get cars on opposite sides. Once the ride starts, Hiro and Sasuke both start to drive directly towards each other. Before impact, Sasuke immediately turns out of the way, making Hiro crash really hard into a bigger not as playful guy.
"(Oh crap!)" Hiro yells in his head and begins driving away from the crazy idiot. The guy gets pissed off and starts chasing Hiro around the zone.
"Sasuke! Help!" Hiro screams in need of rescuing from the insane adult.
Sasuke then says to himself, "Should I? Or should I not? That is the question. (It 'was' my fault.) And the answer is...... why not?"
Sasuke then drives over and knocks Hiro backwards making the dummy crash hard into Hiro, nearly making both of them whiplash. Satisfied, the guy drives away and starts attacking other people. Shortly after the ride ends, Hiro gets up and confronts Sasuke.
"What kind of helping was that?" Hiro yells with is hands on his hips.
"Very good helping." Sasuke answers with a smile, his eyes closed, and his arms crossed.
"You crashed me into that crazy guy!" Hiro yells again pointing at the crazy idiot.
"What are you complaining about? I stopped him from killing you." Sasuke, using his smarts, replies to shut Hiro up.
The anger slips away from his face. "You've got a point. But next time, don't try to get me killed! Got it?"
"Very tightly." He answers quietly yet sarcastically.
"Good!" Hiro says with a small smile. Kisa and Tohru then run over to them.
"Hiro! Sasuke! Did you two have fun?" Tohru asks cheerfully.
"I had a blast!" Sasuke then raises an eyebrow towards Hiro.
"Really? You didn't have the look of enjoyment when that guy was trying to kill you." Sasuke says with his arms crossed looking at Hiro.
"That's beside the point."
"Uh, no it isn't." Sasuke says quietly to himself.
"Let's let Kisa decide the next ride." Tohru suggests.
"(Probably going to be some sweet ride or something slow.)" Sasuke thinks.
"I want to go on the carousal." Sasuke and Hiro both sweatdrop.
"(A carousal! I hate carousals!)" Sasuke yells and mentally slaps himself for letting Tohru ask Kisa what to ride.
"(What a childish ride! But for Kisa, okay!)" Hiro tells himself but remembers that this his chance to be closer to Kisa.
"Fine." Both say with a hint of sarcasm.
"Come on!" Tohru exclaims, leading the way.
Tohru and Kisa both skip to the merry-go-round together with Sasuke and Hiro behind them crossing their arms with their eyes slightly closed.
"Hiro! Let's ride on this carriage together!" Kisa tells Hiro, patting the seat beside her.
"(Yes! One for Hiro!) Coming." Hiro runs up and sits beside her.
"Sasuke, let's both get a horse." Tohru suggests to Sasuke pointing at the moving horses.
"If you want." Sasuke disappointedly says, since he really does not want to ride a carousal.
The ride starts and Sasuke tries his best to at least act like he was having fun, which actually doesn't work, because whenever he does try to act like he's having fun, he starts saying the dumbest and weirdest things. Hiro doesn't have a problem since he's beside Kisa trying to put his arm around her.
"(Hiro and I are going on the roller coaster next whether Tohru and Kisa like it or not!)" Sasuke yells in his mind, wishing he could telepathically tell Hiro.
"(Me and Sasuke! On the roller coaster next! It's nice being with Kisa, but this ride sucks!)" Hiro comments to himself, hoping that the ride will end any minute now.
"(I wonder if Hiro and Sasuke are having fun. They didn't look too happy when Kisa said the carousal. I know! We'll take them to something that could be really fun for boys like them. I know! Kisa and I will take them to the roller coaster next. That should cheer them up.)" Tohru tells herself, then smiles really warmly.
"(Poor Hiro, I know he's not enjoying the ride, but I wanted something slow and steady, so I could relax and be with him. After this, he can ride whatever he wants.)" Kisa sighs happily and rests her head on Hiro's shoulder, putting a big smile on his face.
Not too long after the ride ends, Sasuke instantly gets off. Hiro and Kisa take their time and Tohru is right behind them. Then both at the same time, Hiro and Sasuke yell "ROLLER COASTER! NOW!"
"Hai!" The other two answer directly without hesitation.
"Oh," surprised Sasuke becomes, "then let's go."
They both run while holding Tohru and Kisa's hand towards the roller coaster. Hiro guides them to the closest one. When they reach it, they look up and see how tall and long it is.
"Uh, Hiro. Are you sure about this?" Sasuke asks, not too sure about this particular roller coaster.
"What, are you scared?" Hiro asks his competition sarcastically, knowing that if Sasuke says yes, that he'll never let Sasuke hear the end of it.
"No way! I want to ride, but I'm not so sure about these two." He points his thumb at mesmerized Tohru and Kisa.
"Big." Tohru says dumbly.
She holds on tight to Hiro. "Hiro, I'm scared. I don't want to go on."
"We'll just sit this one out. You two go and enjoy yourselves." Tohru takes Kisa and sits down on the nearest bench.
"If you say so." Sasuke says, like it's no loss.
Unfortunately, Hiro has to be with Kisa. "Are you sure? I'll be there to hold you if you get scared." he says to Kisa.
"(Hold her! Isn't Hiro a little too young to be thinking of things like that! What's he trying to pull?)" Sasuke asks himself about their age.
"It's quite all right you know. We'd rather just relax for now." Tohru assures them.
Sasuke tugs on Hiro's arm a little, making him face Sasuke. "Come on Hiro! There's no persuading them."
"Whatever." They both get in line for the front seats. A few minutes later, they come back with disappointed and a little annoyed looks on their faces.
"What happened?" Tohru asks with concern, knowing that they didn't get what they wanted.
A sweatdrop then appears on both boys' heads. Hiro then just admits it so that Tohru and Kisa won't bug them about it. "We're too short."
"Oh, that's too bad (and kind of funny.)" Tohru says in a sad tone, holding back her laugh.
"But they said we're big enough to go on the other rides." Sasuke informs.
"Then why not? The roller coaster can't be the only fun ride, can it?" Tohru asks.
"I guess the Revolution could prove to be exciting, if they have one here." Sasuke confirms.
"The Revolution? What's that?" Hiro asks.
"Ah, so you don't know. Follow me and be enlightened." Sasuke then begins looking for a Revolution. In his luck, there is one and it is huge.
"That looks freaky." Hiro proclaims.
"Do you want to go on it?" Sasuke asks with a lifted eyebrow kind of hoping that Hiro would say 'no' so he could rub it in his face.
"You'd never let me live it down if I didn't." Hiro informs Sasuke. He then turns to Kisa. "Do you want to go on Kisa?"
"It looks scarier than the roller coaster. I might get a headache if I go on." Kisa answers, acting all fragile and delicate.
"(Oh my God! This girl would crack at the smallest punch!)" Sasuke yells in his head, snapping it back a little as if something really dumb has just occurred.
"(Isn't there any exciting she'll go on?) if you don't want to then I won't force you." Hiro assures Kisa and looks at her in the eyes.
Kisa then hugs Hiro. "Arigato Hiro."
"Ahh! That's sweet Hiro." Tohru says, clapping her hands together.
"(Loser!) How about you Tohru?" Sasuke asks getting her attention.
"Well....okay! I could use something exciting. But who will stay with Kisa?" Tohru asks Sasuke and Hiro.
Then a mysterious person from behind answers "I will."
Tohru jumps back in shock of her best friend sneaking up on her. "Hana! Don't scare me like that!"
"I'm sorry, but I heard that you need someone to watch Kisa for now." Hana reminds Tohru.
"Really? You'd do that?" Tohru asks her in a sort of surprised voice.
"What are friends for?"
"Arigato!" Tohru bows down to Hana.
Sasuke then approaches Hana. "Hi Saki! Where's Megumi?"
After he asked that, someone from behind answers him "Right here."
Sasuke, knowing Megumi, is not surprised. "Nice try, but your not going to scare me like that."
"Oh darn." Megumi pouts, acting like he's mad.
"Uh, are we going on a ride or not?" Hiro interrupts with his arms crossed over his chest.
Sasuke turns to Megumi before leaving. "Megumi, are you coming or staying?"
"I'll stay Sasuke. These things bore me."
"Really?" He raised an eyebrow "(Or I bet that he wants to spend time with Kisa) if you say so. Come on Tohru!"
"See you later Hana!" All three of them sit on the bench and watch the other three get in line for the Revolution.
"So how's everything been going with Sasuke?" Megumi asks Kisa.
"It's fine. He kind of reminds me of an older Hiro. I thought he'd be more mature since he's one grade ahead of me and Hiro."
"Older Hiro?" Megumi raises one eyebrow "Do you know how old Sasuke is?" He asks the girl who is not sure of the young boy's age.
"No, he's thirteen right?" Kisa asks him, getting a little confused.
"He's twelve." He informs her.
"No wonder he's so much like Hiro, he's the same age as him. But why is he one grade ahead?"
"He started school at the age of three."
"I never knew that." Kisa says.
"Neither did I." Hana adds, joining the conversation.
"So how did you and Sasuke meet?" Kisa asks.
"We met in elementary school. On my first day, he befriended me, no questions ask. He said that's how he is with new students. Ever since that day we've been friends. Not much of a story really." Megumi tells her.
"That's how he was when I first met him. He's so sweet and funny. He makes me feel protected and happy. It's the same feeling I get when I'm around Hiro." Kisa sighs and smiles.
"He 'does' tend to be immature at times and kind of annoying, but it's because he just loves having fun." Megumi confirms about Sasuke.
"Those are probably the only bad things about him. Even though, being immature makes him the way he is. I don't think he'd be the same fun loving person if he acted mature." Kisa assures them.
"And he talks a lot too." Hana reminds the two about the motor-mouth boy.
"I know. Once he gets started, it's like there's no time where he has nothing to say." Megumi announces.
"If you think about it, that's can be positive in a way because if you want someone to talk to, he's always there." Hana tells the two.
"So how about Hiro, how are you doing with him?" Megumi asks the girl recently ran away from school.
Kisa then tells the tale of how her and Hiro are doing. "He's still the same, sarcastic and overprotective. One difference he has with Sasuke is that he sometimes wants to act grown up, like an adult."
"That's definitely not Sasuke. He's trade almost anything to keep being a kid." Megumi informs them.
Finally, the trio returns with Sasuke and Hiro looking sort of satisfied, and a Tohru looking very messed up, mainly in the area where the hair belongs.
"The was such a rush! I don't think I've ever done anything that exciting!" Tohru announces.
"It's just a ride Tohru." Sasuke reminds his older cousin.
"But didn't you have fun?" Tohru asks him.
"It was all right, wasn't it Hiro?" he faces Hiro."NO! It was so annoying!" Hiro yells with a stress mark on his head.
"Why is that?" Tohru asks. She was sitting on the other side of Hiro in the ride so she really didn't know what happened.
"Sasuke was getting bored on the ride, so he decided to yell 'WEEE!' everytime we flipped or swinged! It was so annoying! He did not want to shut up!" Hiro screams out, holding back the powerful urge to knock Sasuke out.
"Hey! I was making the ride more fun for me. You can't complain. You were the one who kept on screaming like a little girl, not Tohru. She was too busy closing her eyes and keeping her legs up to cover her body. Everyone then begins to stare at Hiro. Hiro takes a step back and sweatdrop begin to appear.
"All right! You got me! You tell anyone else and I will hunt you down!" Sasuke rolls his eyes at him. "Hmph! I still wish that we were tall enough to go on the roller coaster."
"Life has its losses." Hana proclaims.
"Well, it's been fun chatting with Kisa, but we have to get going. Come on Hana." Megumi tells them holding Hana's hand to leave.
"Farewell Tohru, see you at school." She waves bye to Tohru.
Tohru begins to wave her entire arm and says "Bye Hana!"
"So what were you two talking about?" Sasuke asks Kisa.
"You and Hiro, but it wasn't personal things. It's just that you two seem so much alike." Kisa tells him.
"Really?" They both said then looked at each other. "No way!" they both face away and cross their arms at the same time.
"(Kisa's right, but Sasuke's more open about things.)" Tohru then puts her finger on her chin. "(Hmm, I wonder what Yuki and the others are doing back home, I hope the house is still there when I get back.)"
------Meanwhile back at Shigure's
Yuki stands in front of Kyo with his arms crossed at him. "I'm surprised Kyo, you don't even want to yell at me."
"That's because I'm too tired to do anything you damn rat. I'm going to take a nap. Later losers." Kyo goes upstairs to his room and falls asleep.
"That baka-neko." Yuki says to himself.
Shigure then approaches Yuki. "So Yuki, what do you plan on doing while Tohru and Sasuke are away?"
"I'm going to watch some TV." Yuki goes into the living room and turns on the TV.
"Those boys." Shigure sighs. The door suddenly opens and a very familiar, yet discomforting voice yells into the house.
"Shigure! I need the deadline of your book! The next six hundred pages!" Mii yells barging in.
"Oh it's you, well I.... bye, bye!" Shigure runs out and hides from her. He ducks into Tohru's room and covers himself from her. Mii, in a few minutes, discovers him and handcuffs him to her hand.
"I am NOT unlocking this until I get those pages! You hear me!" Mii threatens Shigure holding the key in her hand.
"Loud and clear. But one thing?" his face goes half circled eyes and mouth going big enough to reach his chin, with no nose.
"WHAT?" She yells, wondering what excuse he's thought of this time.
"You handcuffed my writing hand." Mii puts on a stupid face and sighs in defeat of the clever novelist.
"All right! But you better get working on your book!" She commands him.
"It's as done as said!" She gives Shigure the key to uncuff his hand, but right after he undoes the cuff, he locks it on to one of the wooden stands and puts the key just far enough for Mii to struggle to get it.
"SHIGURE!!!!" Mii yells and begins to struggle to get out.
Yuki comes out and Shigure immediately stops in front of him. "Harassing Mii again?"
"Not harassing, just teasing." Shigure corrects Yuki.
"When will you tell her that you already sent it?" Yuki reminds his crazy cousin.
"After I have all my fun." Shigure answers and points one finger up.
"Oh well, your life and hers. I'll leave you two alone." Yuki goes back into the room and continues to watch TV.
"Arigato Yuki. (What should I do to Mii next?)" He puts his index finger on his chin and ponders.
"SHIGURE, YOU COME HERE THIS INSTANT AND UNLOCK ME!!" She then tries squirming in attempt to reach the key with her feet. Being unsuccessful, "SHIGURE! UNLOCK THIS INSTANT!!!" she screams extremely loud. In all of this, Shigure is quite surprised that the cat hasn't awoken yet.
"Sorry, no can do. You'll have to reach it yourself." Shigure replies with happy singing tone.
"SHIGURE!!" Mii screams even louder.
"All right fine, here!" He kicks the key to her. She quickly grabs the key and unlocks the handcuffs.
She quickly gets up and faces him. "When will you finish the your deadline?!"
"Oh that, I almost forgot. It was burned in a small accident I had while writing. It was so horrible." He puts his hand on his cheek and pretends to be sad.
Mii's face went from angry to concerned. "What happened?"
"Oh, I was in my room writing, when one of the lights fell and caught my desk on fire. It was terrible. I managed to not get burned but all my beloved work was destroyed!" Shigure lies to her acting like he's going to cry.
Mii was about to console Shigure when she remembers that it's Shigure. "Wait, is this true?"
"No! Not a single word! Hahaha!" Shigure throws a smoke bomb and runs away. AN: He got the bomb at a store and thought it would be fun to use it to tease Mii next time she came.
"GRR, SHIGURE!!!!!" She screams and waits for the smoke to clear.
He hides and puts his hand on his mouth. "Oh my, I've released a monster. Hehehe!"
Yuki walks out of the room and confronts Shigure. "Enough, you're going to drive the poor girl crazy. I'm going to tell her now."
"No don't! I'm having too much fun!" Shigure complains to Yuki, like a little kid.
"It's a wonder that you're not locked up yet." Yuki leaves to tell Mii.
"WAAH! Why won't Shigure just finish his work?!" Mii fountain crying.
"Um, excuse me." Yuki bends down to talk to her.
She suddenly stops her fountain of tears and looks at Yuki. "Nani?"
"You know very well that my cousin is crazy. He already sent the deadline of his book to the publishers. I'm surprised that you didn't know this."
"What! He did! It's not fair!" She runs away a funny way and goes back home to call up her the publishers and scold them.
Shigure watches her dash off. "(That Mii. She used to be so happy and cheerful, until she became editor that is.)"
------Back to Tohru, Sasuke, Kisa, and Hiro
"It's all half price today! Hiro, did you plan this?" Tohru asks Hiro, finally discovering that he did plan all this.
"Yup! I had a feeling we'd run into you two today, so I checked on what we could do together." Hiro tells them in a way of saying 'all right you caught me!'
"You mean, you actually wanted to be with us?" Sasuke asks him, kind of confused.
"Are you really that dense? Take a hint!" Hiro yells at him while putting his hands on his hips.
"Oh, uh hai. (So Hiro does like me, as a friend, he just doesn't like showing affection or being friendly for that matter.)" Sasuke happily thinks.
"Hiro, I had a wonderful day today. Arigato!" Tohru says.
Sasuke then tugs on her shirt a little to get her attention. "Tohru, what time is it?"
Tohru glances at her watch to find out. "It's quarter to six."
"Come on!" He pulls her arm. "The movie's about to start. Hiro, Kisa, do you want to come?"
"What movie is it?" Hiro asks, waiting to hear if it's worthy enough for Hiro to watch it.
"It's called Dai Tsugeki, it's from the anime Naruto, which I really like. The movie is showing today." He tells all three of them.
"What's it about?" Tohru asks.
"I'll tell you on the way." All four of them begin walking to the theater, which is about ten minutes away."The anime is about a little boy, obviously named Naruto. When he was born a fox demon was sealed away inside him. Because of this, he is shunned by the adults and made fun of by the kids. All he wants is respect from the people, so he becomes a ninja and tries to prove himself. He is teamed up with three other ninjas, Sakura, Sasuke..."
"Hey that's your name!" Kisa announces.
"Yes I know, And Kakashi, their sensei. It's their adventures and battles versus enemies. It's very interesting. (That's weird, I just realized that in Naruto, Sakura has a crush on Sasuke, and Megumi has been giving me hints that Sakura has a crush on me. That's really weird!)" Sasuke thinks while a weird feeling comes over him, quickly he shakes off those thoughts and continues the conversation.
"Kisa, do you want to see it?" Hiro asks his girlfriend/cousin.
"It sounds good. So okay! I'll watch it." Kisa answers happily.
Since Kisa said 'yes', that leaves Hiro no other choice. "Then I'll watch it too."
"So it's another group activity. I'd never think I'd have so much fun with you two. I'm mean, like no offense, but you are like the two who avoids everyone. Hiro seems like the serious type, and Kisa is like the shy type. Is it was really fun. I really enjoy being with you two." Sasuke compliments both of them.
"Arigato Sasuke." Kisa thanks him.
"I guess I could say thanks." Hiro says while rolling his eyes.
"(I can't believe this is the Hiro I know, he's beginning to be more open and happy! Sasuke reminds me of how everyone sees me. When people are around him, they're just happy.)" Tohru happily says in her mind.
"We're here! Come on! My treat." Sasuke tells all of them.
"(It better be good, but what does that matter, I'm not paying.)" Hiro thinks in relief that he doesn't have to spend anymore money.
Sasuke buys tickets and they all go in. Sasuke find four seats and Tohru insists on buying the refreshments. He leaves and shortly returns with a small bag of popcorn, two drinks, one for Sasuke and Tohru, the other for Hiro and Kisa, and a little candy. At exactly six o'clock the previews start showing, and of course, Hiro has to comment.
"Why do they bother showing these? Do they really think we could care less? What's the point of wasting our time with these things?" Hiro raves on nearly forgetting that he's in a theater, not like that'll stop him anyway.
"Hiro, be quiet." Kisa whispers, sounding a little angry.
"Whatever." He settles down and sips on the drink.
After three minutes of previews the movie finally starts. Hiro falls completely silent in fear of getting Kisa mad. The beginning of the movie starts out very well, Sasuke, Tohru, and Kisa were really enjoying the movie, but Hiro tries to resist from saying anything. In the movie, Naruto and Sasuke we're trying to find Sakura after she gets captured. AN: Don't ask, the movie's not even out yet in America.
Tohru gets a little more tense, but Kisa and Sasuke remains relaxed a silent. Hiro still is trying to resist from commenting on anything. After one and half-hours, the movie ends and everyone comes out showing that they enjoyed the movie. Tohru becomes a little more relaxed and a little invigorated. Sasuke and Kisa are completely happy with what they just saw, and Hiro finally starts burst and starts going about everything he wanted to say.
"What was with that Naruto? Why couldn't they just kill the bad guy when they had the chance? Why does Sakura never want to show her true feelings for Sasuke? And what was with the Kakashi Sensei?"
They all stare at Hiro while sweatdropping. Sasuke finally goes forward and says something. "So you didn't like it?" Sasuke asks.
"It's now one of my favorite movies." They all fall down the anime way.
"You know Hiro, if you really like something, you don't continuously question it." Sasuke informs the questioning boy.
"Whatever. It's late now so Kisa and I better get going. See you at school tomorrow Sasuke. Later Tohru." Hiro takes Kisa's hand and gets ready to leave.
"Bye Sasuke, bye sissy." They both go on their way home.
"Sissy?" Sasuke looks at Tohru a weird way.
"Kisa has always been calling me that ever since she started talking again." She informs her little cousin.
"I see. So she must really like you, huh?" Sasuke asks.
"Before she went back to school, she never left my side." Tohru tells him.
"That's cool, having someone always with you."
"It is. Come on, let's go home." Tohru takes Sasuke's hand and begins walking back to Shigure's.
------Back at Shigure's
"So I see that the baka-neko has awoken." Yuki announces.
"Stop it. I'm not in the mood." Kyo says rubbing his eyes.
"I'm never in the mood but I still comply." Yuki informs the neko.
"That's because you're a damn rat. Oh whatever, just leave my alone right now." Kyo sits down on the floor, while Shigure enters.
"What's this? Kyo not wanting to fight Yuki." Yuki and Kyo begin to glare at Shigure. "I think I'm feeling a change in atmosphere." Shigure's too busy with what he's saying to even notice that Kyo and Yuki are in striking distance from him. "Maybe Yuki and Kyo, might start becoming friends or better yet maybe even koibi..."
Before finishing his not so appropriate word for Kyo and Yuki, they both knock him out of the roof of his house.
"Look Akito, I'm flying!!" Shigure calls out while soaring. Tohru and Sasuke return home shortly after the soaring Shigure crashes into the ground.
"Were back! I noticed you two were still awake when I saw Shigure flying out of the house." Tohru states the obvious.
"What did he do?" Sasuke asks, very curious why the two guys knocked out the head of the house.
"I'm not even going to say what that pervert said, it's too gross!" Yuki spits out crossing his arms and closing his eyes.
"Same here!" Kyo yells with his elbow on the table with his face leaning on it.
"Well, as long as no one got hurt, oh wait! Shigure was and is still outside." Tohru remembers, while Shigure returns from his not so smooth landing.
"That wasn't very nice!" Shigure complains.
"Neither what you said about me and Kyo!" Yuki tells the pervert.
"What that you two could be...."
Yuki and Kyo both knock him down again before he could finish the sentence.
"Say that word, and you'll regret me living with you!" Yuki threatens.
"Same here!" Kyo agrees, again.
"Could you say anything else but 'Same here!'" Shigure asks.
Stress marks appear on Kyo's forehead "Nani? Urusai!"
"All right, all right! I'm going to bed now. Chow!" Shigure waves to them a little, then goes up to his room and goes to sleep.
"Good riddance!" Kyo says.
"Did any of you eat dinner?" Tohru asks.
"Oh, I completely forgot to eat, but that's okay. I'm not hungry." Yuki responds.
"I was sleeping so I didn't eat, but now I'm starving." Kyo answers.
"Okay! I'll make you a snack Kyo." She's about to walk into the kitchen when Kyo says something.
"Arigato Tohru." Yuki and Tohru immediately turn to him in shock.
"Did you just say thank you?" Yuki asks trying to comprehend that the baka-neko finally said 'thank you' to someone.
"Yeah, so?" Kyo responds acting like he's been doing that.
"But you've never said that before." Tohru says.
"Well, I'm trying to be nicer, okay! Now hurry before I take it back." He commands Tohru.
"Hai!" Tohru enters the kitchen to make Kyo some rice balls. Yuki then begins talking to Sasuke.
"So Sasuke, did you have a good time with Tohru?" Yuki asks.
Right after Yuki asks that question, Sasuke turns on his motor and starts talking. "It was great! I had a blast and everything. And you'll never guess who we ran into?"
"Who?" Kyo wonders.
"Hiro and Kisa!" Sasuke yells like that's the greatest thing in the world.
"And you still had a good time?" Yuki asks, seeming confused.
"(How could they have a good time with that smart mouth brat?)" Kyo wonders.
"It was really because of Hiro that we had a good time. He was really nice and everything. He said he had it planned out."
"That's not like him." Yuki says.
"I know, but it was still really fun. I want to do that again, but this time, with you guys! How about it?" Sasuke asks both of them.
"Sure thing, maybe next week we could go out and have some fun." Yuki answers.
"I'll go, (Just so they don't bug me about it and it might be fun except that that damn Yuki's going to be there.)"
"So next week on Tuesday (On his birthday, but we won't let him know about the party). Is that fine with you?" Yuki plans for him.
"Of course, I can't wait! (And that's my birthday also. I think I'll tell them on that day, so they won't have to go through all that trouble just to celebrate.)"
Tohru returns with Kyo's onigari. "Here Kyo, your rice balls are ready."
"Great, I'm starving!" Kyo tells them, grabbing two of them and stuffing it in his mouth.
"Miss Honda, Sasuke and I planned on going out again next week on Tuesday with you and Kyo. Are you okay with that?" Yuki asks her politely.
"Of course! I had such a great time today, it'll be wonderful having you two here this time." Tohru announces.
"So next week it is." Yuki confirms.
