Agh, you know the pointers by now. - -

Disclaimer: Dun own Fruits Basket or the game Foosball. It's really fun game though...but it's dangerous around me when I get hyper. oO ANYWAYS, the only character I own is Koiji Shiatsu.
Enjoy!


Getting You Back
Chapter 5: To the Arcade!


Kyo collapsed onto the bench, breathing heavily, "Dodging them...and following them and trying...to get that bastard away...all in one...is hard..." His eyes were locked onto his shoes, his arms wobbly and laying on his knees.
Yuki was leaning against the fence, his feet about to give out. His hands gripped the smooth railing, his head bent down as he tried to catch his breath, "A-at...least you don't have asthma..."
Kyo looked up at Yuki, half a glare half a normal stare, "......whatever. We still need to get to wherever the hell they're going to next."
"A-and...that would be...?"
"HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW?!" the neko hissed, his back arching. Crimson cat eyes focusing down on the ground again he sighed, "This isn't going to work...we don't even know where they're going next let alone how to stop him." Emphasizing 'him' Kyo meant Koiji...as being a him and not just a 'him' he was bad news in Kyo's book.
"Well, we need to try and her and that 'Koiji—" uh oh, now even Prince Yuki was starting to be mean to others by classifying Koiji as 'that Koiji'
Guess Koiji is a hated figure in the neko and nezumi's eyes....but everyone could see that.
Except...for little oblivious Tohru.

"WOW!" Tohru Honda stood in front of the game arcade, her eyes full of glistening wonder, "It's...so big!!" she clasped her hands together and drew them to her chest, her eyebrows arched in a way of amazement and confusion.
Koiji chuckled, bringing a hand to his mouth to vent the laugh, only to receive a confused 'eh?' from Tohru "Oh, sorry...I'm not laughing at you, I'm just laughing at the way you're reacting." He smiled down at her, "Yes, this city can get pretty big, especially the towns. Arcades are always big too." He smiled, interlacing his fingers with hers, "Want to go in?"
Tohru's cheeks flushed, but she smiled, nodding, "I'd love that! Thank you..." she said, squeezing his hand in return.
"Uck...sappiness, just what we all need."
Tohru's head spun to hear a familiar rough voice, blinking her large cerulean eyes in the direction of the bushes she heard them from. All she saw was a large rustle afterwards, but nothing else, "I...I swore...I just heard K-Kyo...?" she shook her head, and followed Koiji into the game arcade.

"Good...we found the—The Game Arcade?" Yuki's large lavender eyes peered from the brush that he was hiding in, blinking, "Tohru...in a game arcade?"
Kyo snorted, "Yeah..." his voice had a sarcastic shadow to it, "I can always see sweet little Tohru shooting down some big villain in one of those damn shooting games...and then later on she can go out and party."
"Don't even talk about that, that's ridiculous."
"EVER HEARD OF A JOKE, SISSY-BOY!!" Kyo hissed, two little orange cat ears popping from his head. After a cold glare from Yuki, the ears flattened to his head, and he sat like a punished child. Kyo's eyes peered through the brush, narrowing them into slits, "Uck...sappiness, just what we all need." (A/N: Echoe...echoe...echoe....;) )
"IDIOT!!" Yuki sharply whispered, and shoved Kyo down so he couldn't be seen. Yuki noticed Tohru looking right at the brush they were hiding in. Stupid cat..! He's going to get us caught, and Tohru will never forgive us!!
Kyo looked down, biting his lip. Meeting his eyelids with the bottom of his eye he focused on nothing in particular, seeing the inside of his eyelids and focusing on the darkness, "......I'm sorry, I guess...I'm just angry and want her....back.....dammit this is embarrassing..." Kyo's face flushed.
"For once...." Yuki looked up at Tohru and Koiji walking into the arcade, "I...feel the same....and I agree....I want her back too."
"HIIIIIYAAA!!!" Tohru smacked at the foosball with all her might, spinning the little soccer players around to strike the little ball and score against Koiji, "GO!!" she said in desperation.
"EH EH!!" Koiji scolded, a competive grin painting his face. Curling his fingers around one of the spinners, he launched the ball into the goal before Tohru could blink, "Ahah!" Koiji said in victory smiling.
Tohru giggled, smiling, "You're really good, Koiji...I guess I'm bad at this game still..." Tohru looked down at her hands, which were still on the spinners. She closed her eyes, "Well...I still have to practice!!"
Koiji's eyes were soft, his lips curling into a gentle smile—yet again making Tohru feel shaky—he walked over to her side, holding out his hand, "I'll help you."
Tohru smiled gleefully, "Really?! That'd be wonderful!! Thank you!" she said, bowing in her cute little style that made Koiji blush, "I'm so happy!! Thank you!" her lips were wide in a grin, causing Koiji's blush to deepen as he walked behind her.
"O-okay..." He lifted his arms, laying them across hers, and interlaced his fingers with hers on the spinner. Whispering into her ear, he smiled, moving his body closer to hers, "Now...you just have to place all your power into the spin..." his innocent voice trailed off as Tohru's heart thumped loudly in her chest, feeling his warm breath on the nape of her neck.
M-mom...!! Koiji...I feel so comfortable around him...b-but...I don't know...! Is he...the right one for me? Tohru's face turned towards Koiji, making his lips brush across her cheek...and...
"AHH!! EXCUSE ME!!" a teenager, who 'worked' at the arcade, hipped Koiji by 'accident' shoving him to the side. The teenager was simply mumbling, and offered to help Koiji up dusting him off...but turned him away from Tohru.
Another teen, with a calmer silky voice, took Tohru's wrists, "Can I show you some nice other game over here?" He led her away without her answer, showing her by accident the cash register.
"Th-this...is a game?"
"Uh-um...yes? It is! One...of our newest installments." Tohru stared in wonder as the teenager blinked at her actually believing it.
"GET AWAY FROM ME!" Koiji growled, and shoved the teen away. He interlaced his fingers with Tohru's, "L-let's leave...I think this place is a little boring anyways. All the good games are hogged, let's go get something to eat?" Koiji looked at her hopefully, cocking his head after they exited
Taking one quick look back at the mysterious teenagers, Tohru looked back at her 'boyfriend' smiling, "SURE!" and followed after him to the place they were to eat.
My Notes: Sorry if this chapter seemed...rushed. I wrote it at 2:30 a.m so I'm pretty tired. 0 0 I was always working on this fanfic with a buddy over AIM, so I was doing two at once. I hope you all enjoyed!! I thought the part with Koiji helping her was kawaii!! I luff him, I think he soooo sweet! Well, the story isn't over yet! Till next chapter!--Kiyoshi
