Here's my next chapter; I've made it a bit longer than the first one!
I hope that you like it, enjoy!
The walk home from school was fairly silent. Tohru was the one that really made up the conversations, well she didn't know whether you could call them conversations, the most she got out of Yuki or Kyo was something like this-
"Sohma Yuki, how many pages did the teacher say we had to write for our essay?"
"About four."
"Oh, um, OK,"
Tohru tried again.
"Do you know what plants or vegetables you are going to plant next in your secret base," she asked.
"Well the weather has been good recently, so I was thinking of planting the melons next."
It looked like she wasn't going to get much out of Yuki, so Tohru tried talking Kyo.
"Hey Kyo... um... I was wondering how your training was going, have you learnt anything new?
"Umm... not really, just been doing the usual."
"Oh, well I was thinking that maybe some time you could teach me some of the moves you know, that is if you have time." She added.
"Yeah, sure, whatever."
Tohru gave up, she was trying so hard to get Yuki and Kyo to talk to each other, or even include them in the same conversation, but it looked like no matter how hard she tried, it wouldn't work! She gave a sigh of relief as the Sohma house appeared over the rolling hill.
"Nearly there, nearly there," she hummed.
As the trio approached the house, they spotted something running towards them, waving its arms madly. Something with long waist length silver hair, piercing yellow eyes, and a tall, slender figure. That something was... Ayame!
Tohru saw that out the corner of her eye, Yuki suddenly tense in utter fear and shock.
"Yuki… hey Yuki, come and give your big, bad brother a hug... hey Yuki, come on!"
"What is it... it's... it's coming towards me!" Yuki stuttered with pure fear spreading over his face.
Suddenly, out of nowhere Ayame leaped for his little brother with his arms out stretched, ready to give the biggest hug there ever was! "What the…" Yuki began, but no more was heard, because he was suddenly flattened by the leaping snake.
"Awwwww Yuki, you don't know how much I have missed you, it seems so long since my eyes last captured the beauty of your fair skin, or the way that your hair shines in the sun!" whined Ayame, madly kissing Yuki's blushing cheeks.
Tohru looked on happily, as she watched Yuki desperately trying to release himself from Akame's loving grip.
"Ay… A…Ayame… what…" Yuki desperate voice was muffled by Aya's hugging arms.
Tohru was so happy that Ayame was trying his best to make up for all of those years that he had neglected Yuki when he was a small boy, but from the look of the way things where going at the moment, it didn't look like Yuki was too pleased about it! But nether the less, Tohru knew that deep, deep down, Yuki truly did love his big brother.
She was brought out of her happy thoughts, by the sound of Kyo sniggering near- by.
"What do you find so funny Kyo?" she asked him puzzled, it he first time that she had seen him laugh, or even smile in days!
"It's just that, all my life I have been trying to train so hard to beet Yuki, trying to be stronger than him, trying at least to hit him to the floor, but all along that training was a waste of time. All I really needed to do was to give him one big hug!" he laughed.
"That is true!" Tohru giggled. "He looks so much better when he laughs or smiles, but unfortunately it doesn't happen very often," she thought.
"Hello my little flower… Kyo… Ayame… oh and um… is that Yuki under there?"
Tohru spun around to see Shigure standing behind her. As usual, he was wearing a beaming smile, and he had his thumbs in the belt of his kimono.
"Ahhh, God damn it, you stupid dog, tell us next time your gonna sneak up on us like that!" shouted Kyo.
"Oh Kyo… I can not tell you how much that hurt me, I try to be nice, and greet my family and friends with a smile, but all they do is throw it right back in my face. I shall remember your cruelty for the rest of my days!" Shigure said clutching his heart dramatically, and trying to force a slight tear out if his eye.
"Ahhh, go and whine to somebody else," Kyo said making his way towards the house.
Tohru sighed, "It looked like Kyo's good mood didn't last as long as I hoped it would," she thought to herself.
As Shigure turned round to the heap on the floor that was Ayame and Yuki, his eyes widened.
"Oh Ayame… what are you doing to Yuki… oh no please don't tell me that your heart belongs to another! Today really isn't my day, first I get pushed away by my family… and then… then I get pushed away by my best friend" cried Shiure. (This time he really was crying!) "I shall be in my office if anybody wants me, but I doubt that they will…" Shigure ran towards the house with his face buried in his hands.
"Shigure… Shigure, where did he go Tohru?"
"Well, he just ran into the house crying," Tohru answered.
"Oh no, I hope that he didn't get the wrong idea," he moaned as he ran off towards the house. As Tohru watched the silhouette of Ayame disappear over the hill, she heard a small voice coming from the ground.
"Um… Miss Honda… do you think that you could help me up, I think that I twisted my ankle when that stupid brother of mine landed on me,"
"Oh, yes of course I will Yuki."
Pulling Yuki to his feet, she said "I'll have to take a look at that ankle when we get to the house, if it is twisted, there will be no school for you tomorrow young man," she joked.
Yuki and Tohru laughed all the way back to the house.
Sorry, I know, I know I didn't really get to the main plot in this chapter either did I? Don't worry, I promise, and this time I really do, I promise that I will get on with the story in the next chapter. This chapter was really for a bit of a laugh, I hope that it made you smile. So as they say, can you R&R!
