An:Hey! Thanx so so o much to all of u who reviewed! YAY! They make me happy! Anyways, I hope u all liked the story. Aya and Yuki have always had a rift, but it seems small compared to what is happening to them now. Ok, here's chappy two! Sorry if it's a little short, I wrote a little big I think, and also I think there's a tad to much dialogue, but o well, it's still good right?
Trees, Bushes, and Soap Operas
Yuki lie motionless in the tree. There was no way that dream was true. It was pure nonsense. He could hear Kyo calling him. "Hello? Yuki? HELLO? Are you awake? You're in a TREE!–stupid rat..." Although Yuki heard him, he was determined to keep his eyes closed. It just couldn't be true. Kyo started shaking the tree wincing,(still in pain) "Wake UP!" Yuki moaned, he knew he couldn't lay there forever He sat up.
"OW! That hurt!"
"Join the club. Yuki paused.
"Hey if we can't move, how are we going to get down?" kyo stopped, he hadn't thought of that.
"I don't know, I guess we just wait for someone to find us."
"And tell them what? We can't move, but somehow we managed to climb up here? Yeah that's believable."
"So what do you propose we do?"
"I'm not sure. Tohru does walk this way to school, maybe she'll get Shigure for us."
"Maybe..." At that moment, Ayame Sohma just happened to walk into the clearing.
"No way!" mouthed Yuki.
"Why not?" kyo whispered back. "Do you wanna get down or not?"
"No, I'm perfectly content up here."
"Fine, stay up here all day, I'm getting down."
"Kyo no!" Yuki whispered.
"Hey Aya! A little help here?" Yuki put his face in his hands and groaned.
"Kyo? What are you doing up there? I thought you were sore."
"I am, we're stuck. Can you help us down or not?" Us? Aya looked up and noticed Yuki for the first time.
"Little brother? What are you doing up there?" he called. Yuki sighed, he might as well.
"We're stuck, can you help us or not?"
"Of course! It's the big brother's duty to protect the younger brother!"
"Save the speech snake-boy!" kyo yelled, irritated.
"There's no need to be rude Kyo! Now one of you jump down, I'll catch you."
"No way! I don't even think your own brother trusts you that much!"
"I'll prove you wrong! Come on Yuki, jump! I'll catch you! Yuki was torn. He could see kyo smirking, and frankly he felt the same way . But the look on Ayame's face made Yuki feel a strange emotion that made him want to stand up for his brother.
"Well, here goes nothing." he took a deep breath.
"You are not serious!" Kyo shouted. Yuki sat up at the edge of the branch and slowly slid off. It was then that he realized he was about three stories up. Aya waited patiently for his brother, his arms outstretched. A butterfly flew past his face.
"Oh look! A butterfly! And it has such an interesting pattern..."
"Ayame!" Why did he trust him?"
"Don't worry dear Yuki, I will catch you!" As he gave this little speech, Yuki fell into the bush behind him. He let out a wail that was painful to hear. "Oh my goodness! Yuki are you..."
"Get...away...from me..."
"I'm so sorry I..."
"Leave me...alone."
"Just let me see if anything's broken."
"GET OFF!" But Aya wouldn't listen and began to check if Yuki was hurt.
"Oh good! Nothing's broken!" he hugged him tightly.
"Ow! Aya get off NOW!"
"Yuki are you sore too?"
"Yes, go away. Go help Kyo or something."
"No! Leave Kyo in the tree!"
"It's ok Kyo, I'll catch you."
"Like you caught him?" he gestured toward Yuki "If you want to help, go get Shigure or a ladder or something." Ayame looked at his brother, then up at Kyo.
"Fear not little brother! I must go now, but I'll be back! And then I will sit at your bedside until you are well again!"
"NO YOU WON'T NOW LEAVE!" Yuki exploded at Aya. The look of pure hatred in his eyes made Ayame turn on his heel and leave.
That was the last time he trusted that retard, no matter what stupid emotions he felt
"Shigure!" Tohru cried, racing down the hall.
"What?"
"Kyo and Yuki are gone!"
"Gone? Gone where?"
"I don't know!" wailed Tohru hysterically "They're just gone!"
"Tohru calm down, Im sure they're fine."
"But what if they're not? Kyo was gone yesterday, and now they're both gone!"
"Yes, but kyo did come home yesterday didn't he?" She sniffed.
"I guess so." At that precise moment Ayame burst through the door.
"I have come to inform you that Yuki and Kyo are stuck in a tree."
"In a tree?" Inquisited Tohru.
"We should call the fire department!" laughed Shigure "There's a cat up a tree!" Aya and Shigure began laughing uncontrollably, holding onto each other for support. Tohru didn't find it very funny.
"We have to go help them!" Ayame calmed himself down and cleared his throat.
"Oh yes...they request that you bring a ladder." Tohru giggled softly at Aya who was acting a lot like a mid-evil times messenger. Tohru and Shigure, still in their pajamas, and Aya left to go save them. Aya leading (more like prancing) the way.
"Is he coming or not?" Yuki asked, still in the bush.
"I don't know, but if he doesn't come soon you may have to go get help yourself."
"Are you kidding? I can barely move!"
"I could barely move yesterday."
"But you didn't fall from three stories into a bush."
"I still can't believe you jumped."
"Yeah, I don't know what came over me. I..." kyo held up his hand to silence him.
"Shhhh, someone's coming." Tohru, Shigure and Aya walked through the brush. Ayame stepped on Yuki.
"OW! Who the heck stepped on me?"
"Little brother! I have found you!"
"Figures..."yuki muttered,.
"I thought you said they were both in the tree?" asked Shigure.
"Yuki fell into the bush."
"You we're supposed to catch me!" Ayame waved it off.
"Technicalities."
"So how are we going to get kyo down?" questioned Shigure. "The ladder's too short."
"I'll catch him!" Aya called in a sing-song voice.
"No you won't!"
"I'll catch him." offered Shigure.
"But I want to!" Ayame whined, pouting.
"I don't trust you!" Kyo called.
"You trust me?"
"More than I do him!" Kyo growled. While the three of them argued some more, Tohru went over to console Yuki.
"Are you ok?"
"Yeah I am."
"No you're not."
"I am! Really. I'm just sore."
"Like Kyo was?"
"Is."
"Is, but he also didn't transform." They looked at each other.
"Do you think?"
"I don't know..."
"There's only one way to find out..." They each took a deep breath and embraced each other. Nothing happened.
"It worked! You didn't transform. Tohru was grinning from ear to ear. Yuki was too.
"Don't tell Ayame. They looked over at the trio who were still arguing. Ayame was being an air head. So much for the snake being wise. They cracked up laughing. (Too corny? Yea I know...had to get it out tho...)
An hour later, they had all made it home. Aya still hadn't left yet and Yuki and kyo were sulking. What's worse they couldn't get away from him since they couldn't move. They just had to sit there on the couch, suffering from having to endure all of Aya's one-sided nonstop conversations. Kyo couldn't take it anymore. He was going to lose it. But before he could do anything, Yuki beat him to it. "Shut up will you?" Aya was taken aback.
"Wha..."
"Nobody cares that you did this or you did that! Nobody wants to hear you and personally I don't want to see you!"
"I don't know what I did I..."
"You don't know what you did? You let me fall from three stories up! Kyo was mocking you, saying that his own BROTHER wouldn't trust you with his LIFE! But I felt bad. I stood up for you because we were BROTHERS! But I guess that's not important to you now is it?"
"I don't know...I just thought..."
"You thought what?" Aya opened his mouth. "Don't answer that! I know what you were thinking. You thought Oh look! A butterfly! My brother's falling? Oh yeah! Don't worry I'll catch you! Oops I missed. No big deal! Anything broken? No? Good1 Moving on now! You're nothing but a lousy, two-bit, self-centered pervert!" Everyone in the room stared dumbfounded at Yuki (Tohru's at school) utterly in shock. Yuki let out a great sigh. It felt good to get that off of his chest.
"I think you should leave now." Shigure suggested quietly. Aya got up, slammed the door, and left without saying another word.
About four hours after the incident, Tohru skipped through the door. The house had been almost dead quiet all day. Kyo and YUki had been watching Tv ( where they discovered Shigure had ordered the porn channel! They changed it quickly) grumpily because there was nothing on to watch but soap operas and talk shows. And Shigure had locked himself in his office doing who knows what (supposedly writing). "Hi!" she called cheerfully.
"Hello Honda-san." Yuki replied. Kyo waved, he was engrossed in the soap opera marathon(they had watched episodes 1,2,3,4,5,6 and 7 straight). Tohru waved her hand in front of his face.
"Anyone home?"
"Yes!" he snapped "Shhhh, I want to see if he's going to make it."
"Is it that interesting?" she asked Yuki.
"Hardly."
"Shut up!"
"Was the bone marrow transplant a success doctor?"
"I'm afraid not Mr. Xanga, you will most likely die within the hour, now, on to discussing some of your options. I suggest"
"Hey! I was watching that!"
"Ok ok, I just wanted to know where Shigure was."
"He's locked up in his office, now un-mute it! Something's happening!" She did and went to go start on her homework.
Another dream came that night. This time the two spirits contacted them both at the same time in the same dream.
"Yuki, Kyo, nice of you to join us."
"Do you have to keep on contacting us? It's just going to make us hexed longer." Kyo said vulgarly.
"The hex that affected you sounds like a minor timed curse. Us meeting won't interfere with it."
"Ok fine! But what do you want?"
"We're just going to talk to you about what could happen."
"You mean you're going to debrief us or something?" Yuki asked.
"Precisely."
"Lay it on me, I'm bored." complained Kyo.
"Ok ok Mr. Persistency." The rat started.
"So you will be going to the temple in Equador..."
"What happened to the one in America?"
"Change of plans, it was demolished yesterday."
"What for?" Yuki asked curious and concerned.
"A mini-mall." Kyo let out a (rather loud) outburst.
"WHAT? That's a historical landmark!" Rat waved it off.
"Don't look at me. Anyways that's not important right now. Now when you reach the temple..."
"Wait a minute, we don't know where it is."
"We know where it is.'
"So how does that help us?"
"We will give it to your memory. But then of course we won't remember it, so we won't be much help for directions."
"What about language? Most everybody in Ecuador speaks Spanish."
"We will give you the basic languages, Spanish English etc..." The cat and the rat then began to finish explaining until the dream was cut short and the boys woke up (you thought I would tell you what happened? HAHA!).
Both Yuki and kyo sat up straight in their beds. Surprised that they were in their beds, but even more surprised that they could move again. This, they supposed, meant it was time.
