Haru's Backseat Experience Part 2
Haru waltzed into Shigure's kitchen with one thing on his mind. Finding something he could do better than Tohru, so he could attempt to offer her help…. School work? Nah… he was average at best. Sports? She doesn't play sports.
Ok. So maybe he really couldn't think of anything to 'help' her with. That only left one thing to do. He would simply have to ask her for help…but when? He knew he could make a cooking lesson really cook. [A/N - I know, I know, bad, bad!]
"Haru-kun…?" Tohru ventured cautiously. She knew startling Haru could lead to trouble. She had been talking since he walked into the kitchen, but he hadn't seemed to hear a word of it. "Ano…. Did you hear me?" she quietly tried again.
"uh….wha?" Haru snapped out of it just in time to realize he had walked straight into a cabinet. Tohru tried hard not to giggle. "Does Haru-kun have a lot on his mind? Because if so, I'm would-" "Oi! What's the stupid cow doing here??" Growled Kyo as he leaned into the kitchen. "Oh, Kyo-kun, Haru just stopped in, I was about to invite him to stay for dinner." Tohru stated ignoring the rudeness of the neko's question.
Kyo opened his mouth to remark with what was undoubtedly another rude derogative when he was cut off. "I would love to stay for dinner Tohru-kun. You're so kind to offer." At this, Haru moved in just behind Tohru as she was rinsing her hands. "Eep!…." Tohru was startled by the feeling of steadying hands on her hips. "You should be careful.. You never know what you might run into…" Haru whispered right against her neck, moving the hair next to her ear.
"WHATS THE HEL-!!!!…. started Kyo before he was grabbed by the face and dragged from the kitchen. Haru got really close to Kyo's face. Enough for the neko to notice that even with his calm, he was most definitely in black mode, and he definitely wanted something.
"What's with you??! What the hell set you off this time???"
"Well now Kyon Kyon… that's a loaded question, isn't it?" Haru responded , voice smooth, and, in Kyo's opinion, dangerous. "What would you say… if I told you that our little Tohru-kun is 'naturally talented'"? Kyo eyed Haru suspiciously. "'Naturally talented'..?"
"Un…I overheard-" "HARU-KUN! So good to see you! Shigure's obnoxious voice was unmistakable. Whatcha been up to? Tori-san is worried… he hasn't seen you in days. " Shigure babbled from right inside the door frame they were standing near. "And what's all this about my little flower being naturally talented? I know she's a wonder, and a cute little wife!"…. BAM. "Hentai Baka." Muttered Yuki as he entered the laundry room. This left the three teenaged boys, and one 27 year old pervert in the laundry room. Tohru was really starting to wonder what was going on… but as she had learned, when it was a 'male' thing, she should just leave well enough alone.
"AS I was saying." said Haru. He leaned in a conspiring way, and beckoned the other two closer. Had he been concerned, he would have noticed the Inu's one slightly open eye.
"I heard that our little Tohru-kun is 'naturally talented'. Apparently, she had Hatori-san teach her a few things… so she could help you two…when things got you 'frustrated'… or 'too hard' to 'handle.'" Haru said with a wicked grin. Haru relayed the rest of the 'sordid' tale in all detail and drama, even Ayame would have been proud.
"You say this as though you heard it directly." said Yuki, dead-pan. "Well. I was just laying there in the back seat. Kind of hard not to listen in". Yuki looked up startled to meet the grin of a very devious black Haru.
Kyo was furious. 'That idiot.' He knew she wasn't very worldly… and that she concerned herself with others before herself… but… to do … that….and with Hatori! "That pervert!" Kyo yelled. Tohru immediately looked up from stirring the stew and stared at Kyo. "Kyo-kun?" Tohru blinked her huge brown eyes a few times.
"Oi. Did you… uh, Do something with Hatori yesterday?" Kyo started, hoping not to betray his thoughts in his voice. Yuki and Haru peaked out from around the corner to listen in.
"Hai! Hatori-san did me a favor. It was wonderful. Easier than I thought it would be! Hatori-san is a wonderful Sensei." Shigure closed his slightly open office door. 'A wonderful Sensei huh? We'll just see about this.' The Inu picked up the phone and dialed Hatori before he even planned out what to say.
Kyo turned red. "Why on earth would you want to learn something like that?!? We've never even indicated-.." "Oh, Kyo-kun. It's no trouble at all. I've always wanted to be able to help you all, this is just one more way for me to make life more fun for you.
Kyo was beet red by this point. Yuki stepped in and took over. "Honda-san… You were careful.. Right?" He was mortified by this, but didn't want Tohru to naïve herself right into serious trouble. "Oh hai!! Hatori-sensei made sure we took all the necessary safety precautions. He said he thought about how we should go about it over and over.. Until he finally decided on an appropriate place. He knew of this empty parking lot-"
EMPTY PARKING LOT?????!!?! Yuki and Kyo yelled in unison. Tohru's eyes widened impossibly, and she dropped her ladle. "Ano.. Was that not right? Hatori-san said that's how he learned, back in high school…"
Shigure was on the phone by then. "SO. Hatori-sensei."
Hatori mentally cursed. 'I didn't know she would go telling everyone she called me that… I should've expected this. She didn't mean anything by it. Shigure on the other hand…'
"Well, Ha-san? What's all this about teaching my little flower? "
Silence.
"Ok. This is how it happened. I promised her I would do this for her. She really is such a lovely person, I couldn't say no. She showed up in my office one day, she just begged me to. So I agreed to pick her up, then we'd do it."
Shigure's eyes almost fell out of his head. So it was true?!?
Hatori continued. " So I stopped at the pharmacy, then realized I was going to be late. I didn't want her to think I wasn't coming. I picked her up, and it was all pretty routine from there. We went to an empty parking lot, and I let her have some liberties, you know, since no one else was around. I gave her a chance to make mistakes and learn from them. I'm just glad she didn't get too upset when she went to fast and kind of 'lost control.'
Shigure blinked, but waited for Hatori to continue.
" So, we calmed down after that, she was apologizing for almost messing up my car. Nothing I hadn't dealt with before, I assured her, and we went to stop off home. She was so excited when I showed her the 'back' way. She was asking all kinds of questions about when we used it. We got home, and she insisted she make dinner for me. She also wanted to give it another go afterwards, I swear, nothing phases that girl…."
Shigure made a quick excuse, saying dinner was ready, and hung up the phone. He was in shock. 'Ha-san… you dirty old man!!!…. He took her to 'that' parking lot… showed her the 'back' way… she was just an innocent!'
"Damn, I wish I'd thought of that." Shigure muttered as he ventured into the kitchen to spy on his little flower and see what the boys were making of the current situation. 'This could be a romance novel… hmm… perhaps I should push it along a little so it gets more interesting?' 'Cute little high school girl, in my kitchen, waiting for me-e-e!' Hummed Shigure as he walked straight into black Haru's plan.
