Chapter 5: Shigure, Mistletoe and Mii-chan
So right now it's Christmas time and you know what kind of decorations we hang up at Christmas time. Mistletoe, at Shigure's house.
Tohru was running around the house at that very moment putting up decorations and singing Christmas carols. She was in such a frenzy that she hung mistletoe over every doorway. Yes, I mean every doorway. Shigure's office, Kyo's room, the bathroom, kitchen, entrance and Shigure's office door. She hung up lights and even felt compelled to put reindeer on the roof, but didn't follow through on that because she thought Kyo might not like that. She looked around the house and smiled. Christmas screamed out from all corners. Stockings were hung over the fireplace and Christmas carols softly played. Lights danced in her eyes and presents gleamed under the tree.
"Done! I'm finally done!" She sighed looking at her handy work.
"What are you finally done with?" Yuki asked coming in the door. His vision blocked by a stack of books he had in his arms.
"The decorations silly. I've just finished putting them up."
Yuki looked around and almost passed out from all the Christmas cheer. "You remind me of that one American woman, Martha Stewart." He said smiling.
"Oh never compare my dear flower to that dreadful woman. She's much to precious." Shigure said coming into the twinkling room.
"Shigure-san! You're home! Are you hungry?"
"No, but I have a surprise. My editor has chained herself to me and will not let me leave her sight until I finish my book. So, she's here for Christmas!"
"Doesn't that mean we'll need an extra room."
"I don't think the chain is that long Tohru-kun." Yuki said looking at the bondage.
"Oh, then shall I get another bed prepared? Oh, and I'll need to make extras for dinner! And I'll need to remake the room arrangements." Tohru started.
"Tohru why do you need to redo the room arrangements?" Shigure asked confused.
"Because when everyone sleeps over tonight I had you with Ayame and Hatori-san, but now that you'll be sleeping with Mii-chan you can't have more men in that room. I'll just have to have Kyo, Yuki, Haru, Momiji and Hiro sharing a room and Hatori and Ayame can have the extra. Then Kisa and Kagura sleep with me in my room. Oh that works great!" Tohru squealed. She hadn't noticed a faint blush that had crept up in Shigure's face. He forgot he would be sleeping in the same room as Mii-chan.
"So, I'll go start dinner!" She said starting off to the kitchen.
"Let me help you!" Mii-chan squeaked in delight. "It's the least I can do since I came here unannounced." She said following Tohru into the kitchen.
"Well, if you don't mind, could you start chopping the vegetables." Tohru said pointing to the counter.
So the two maidens started brewing and talking like old buddies, with Shigure chained and sulking. He had planned to relax and maybe start/ finish his book. No he was stuck with Pollyanna and Betty Crocker. He made faces and glared, but it didn't work. So, he thought about how they would manage sleeping tonight. Would they share a bed? The thought of that made even more blush creep into his pale cheeks. His editor was a special person. He enjoyed torturing her, but what would happen tonight. Now he had a full-on red face and the beginning of a hard-on. He grimaced and squished his legs together tightly.
"Shigure-san are you okay? Can you still write?" Mii-chan said noticing his tight and uncomfortable position.
"I'm fine." He said with sweat rolling down his face. She was so close.
"Okay." And she went back to work. She left him there growing bigger.
Finally the dinner was all in the oven and he could go sit and relax. He went for the couch dragging 122 pounds of flesh with him on his right hand. That's how Kyo found them, sitting there, like a happy couple. Reading the newspaper and drinking tea. He raised his eyebrows and grimaced. Unfortunately he didn't have much time to dawdle over that because Tohru came out to tell him about the new plan for sleeping.
"I HAVE TO DO WHAT?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He shouted once she stated the plan.
"I'm sorry Kyo, but when I heard that she was staying the night I couldn't let her share a room with two other men. I felt bad for her so I had to give Hatori and Ayame your room. I'm really sorry. Really I am, but that's how it is." She said about to cry. He looked at her and almost whacked something. He couldn't say no to that face.
"It's alright, as long as it's only for one night." He gave in.
She smiled again and went to check on the food. Just as the doorbell rang. She rushed to it forgetting the food. She found Momiji, Hatori, Haru, Ayame, Kisa and Hiro all staring at her warmly, well; most of them were staring warmly. Some were glaring and some were looking over her shoulder.
"Okay, where's Kagura?" Tohru asked worried.
"Oh, she should be coming up soon, ah, there she is." Hatori said looking out the door.
Kagura had come up to the door with an armload of presents and she looked as if she might fall over. Tohru quickly reached for them and took a stack off the top.
"Let me help."
"Thanks Tohru!"
"No problem."
"Gure-san, you haven't been with anyone else since we were away, have you?" Ayame asked.
"How could I do such a thing to you my dear sweet Aya." He commented coming up to him.
"All Right!" They shouted together, thumbs up and smiles on. It was only too late before Aya realized that someone was following Shigure around.
"Gure-san, who is this?" He said eyeing the lady evilly.
"This is my editor Mii-chan." He said. "She's staying with us for Christmas."
"Why?"
"She cuffed herself to me. She didn't want me to get away while I had to finish my book." HE explained going red all over again.
"Shigure's got the hots! Shigure's got the hots!" Momiji came in and seeing Shigure's red face.
"I do not have the HOTS!" He yelled unusually meanly and stormed off to his office.
When they heard his voice they had all looked up and peered over at the entrance. They saw Shigure's retreating back and a helpless Mii-chan being dragged along. Tohru looked worried and she was so close to going after him. Ayame looked annoyed and Hatori looked taken aback. Momiji looked upset and was supporting a quivering lip. Haru looked bored and Hiro and Kisa were looking around for a break in the crowd.
"What was that about?" Yuki asked confused. Kyo looked over his shoulder not seeming to interested, but secretly he wanted to know what had made the older cousin shout like that.
"Oh nothing."
Everyone looked around like, yeah sure sparky. Soon people were milling around and waiting for Shigure to come back so they could open presents and eat. After a while of self-reflection and healthy denial, he came out. And stood directly under the mistletoe, with Mii-chan right next to him. His face turned red and his palms began to sweat. He quickly hurried forward and was caught by Haru.
"Shigure, you know the rules, when you're caught under mistletoe, you have to kiss the person with you." Which explains why he stood next to Yuki constantly.
"No way." He said shaking his head and growing red on his face and just "growing" in other places.
"You have to. It's a rule."
"Is not."
"Is too."
"Is not."
"Is too, is too, is TOO!"
"Just do it Shigure so the little brat will shut up." Kyo groaned. Looking at the presents and smelling dinner.
Shigure turned toward Mii-chan and grimaced. She looked back disgusted. They looked at he room full of people and sighed. Turning back to each other they bent towards each other. Shigure going down a bit and Mii-chan going up a tiny bit. They kissed and didn't let go. They well, got "into it" and stood there kissing until Momiji yelled out for them to take a breathing break.
Looking at each other they blushed madly and Shigure throbbed "down there". He blushed even more and tried to go off into his room to lie down, but he realized that she would be there too. He sighed and sat down on the couch and curled up and hoped to die.
Unfortunately when he arose a few minutes later he was still in a room full of mocking cousins and they were all laughing at him.
"Shut up and leave me alone!" He shouted for the second time that day.
"You won't get far to threaten us when we know you have such emotion." Someone cracked from the wall and everyone got laughing again.
HE stormed out of the room and went into the kitchen. He grabbed his plate of food and dragged Mii-chan back out onto the living room where he sat down to eat. Soon after that they opened presents. The last present to be opened was a gift for Shigure. He took it and began to shred the paper. He stopped when it was only partly opened and then he turned red all over again and he dropped the present.
"What is it?" Tohru asked trying to look closer. He tried to get it out of her way, but Momiji grabbed it and looked at it. He smiled and giggled. HE unwrapped it for the world to see.
It was a box of condoms. Everyone laughed and began punching fun at him again.
"Well, at least you're prepared."
"Wow, maybe I should take notes. I wonder if she knows about his "pet dog." "
"I DO NOT LIKE MII-CHAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He yelled standing up.
"You don't like me?" She asked beginning to tear up.
"It's not that it's just that...well, I... Oh never mind." HE said giving up and sulking in his chair.
R&R and I hope you don't mind the delay in this chapter. I had the Halloween idea and then I got caught up in that one.
