" Ah, how I miss our 'Tori and little flower…" moaned Shigure dramatically.
Yuki sweatdropped as he looked at the Dog.
" Yea, right…you were the one who sent them to God knows where and YOU claim to miss them? HA!" Kyo yelled.
" Boys, boys…please…no shouting…you will scare my customers away…" Aya said, waving his hand at them.
" What customers?" Yuki, Kyo and Shigure chorused and Aya grinned, shrugging.
" Anyway, I surmise that today's visit is not purely social?" Aya continued.
" Damn right it isn't! We want to know where Tohru is!" Kyo said, his arms crossed over his chest.
" And what makes you think that we'll tell?" Shigure said, arching his eyebrow.
" We'll never betray their hideout to you! Never! I am a loyal…" Aya began but Yuki hit him over the head.
" Don't make this sound like an interrogation…" Yuki said flatly and Aya got up, grinning a bit dazedly.
" Imagine their look of surprise when you guys show up on their doorstep…Hatori's look of horror…classic…hmmm…Christmas time is nearing…wonder what they'll be doing now…Sigh…too bad they can't be with us at this time…" Yuki said, turning to hide his grin.
Shigure narrowed his eyes.
Yuki was up to something but…he imagined the look of horror on Hatori's face…and he grinned…besides he hadn't seen Tohru for a long time, not since Hatori hogged her.
" Let's go on a trip!" Shigure said and Aya yelled with exuberance while Kyo and Yuki looked victorious.
…………………………………………
" Explain to me why you had to being the whole nutty crew along?" Yuki asked flatly, a vein popping from his forehead.
" Well…Kagura wanted to come along and she threatened to bash my head in if I didn't…she got so excited she blabbered it to Momiji who absolutely INSISTED on telling Kisa and you know, wherever Kisa goes, Hiro follows…Haru…well, he just goes wherever you go, so don't look at me…" Kyo said, shrugging.
Yuki massaged his temple, feeling a huge headache coming along.
" Yuki dear, don't be so tensed…" Haru whispered, massaging his shoulders and Yuki shot him a death glare, which Haru ignored.
" Can we go now? Can we go now? Now?" a hyper Momiji asked, bouncing along. Even though he was already 19, he was as hyper as he was back when he was a kid.
Hiro looked sullen as Kisa chatted with Momiji.
Shigure and Aya were flirting with each other over the suitcases and Kagura was forcing Kyo to hold her hand.
This was going to be a long long trip.

#Ding# #Dong#
Hatori had no idea who the hell that was and he, sure as hell, didn't care.
He was busy wrestling…with the chicken.
Somehow Tohru had managed to convince Hatori to celebrate Christmas here in this place. WHERE she managed to get a tree, he didn't know but she did and she was busy decorating it with the popcorns, which they had spent almost 2 hours stringing.
He didn't notice the door opening and Tohru's gasp of delight.
He was too busy trying to stuff those stuffings into the chicken without offending the chicken's dignity.
Ha, look at me, he thought sardonically.
Dressed in a silly apron and wrestling with a chicken…never thought I'd see that day, he thought.
Luckily those idiots were not…
" Hatty!!! You're COOKING!!"
Hatori whirled around, blood draining from his face.
Oh God, this was NOT happening…
It was…
Hatori and Aya were goggling at him, their mouths agape and just as he thought it couldn't get worse, he looked behind them and saw…the whole nutty crew.
Yuki and Haru were quietly trying to smother their laughter while the girls cooed that he looked cute. Kyo was not that polite. He laughed until he was barely able to stand up, clutching onto the wall for support.
" You cooking? HATORI?? YOU??" Momiji yelled, bouncing around.
Hatori turned to look at Shigure, his eyes deadly.
" I am going to skewer you for this…" he said flatly as Shigure howled with laughter.
