"It is obvious that I am not supposed to work now." He declared to no one but himself. "I wonder how Tohru's date is going? Hope Kyo doesn't ruin it." With that, he walked out into the living room and glanced at the clock.
"And I wonder when Yuki is supposed to get back. I didn't think he'd be gone so long."
Yuki waited for the three girls to turn their backs. As soon as the opportunity came, he scampered past them. 'I just have two more hallways and then I can get to the boys locker room.' He reminded himself. He was running out of breath. The distance wasn't so bad usually.
Just as he turned the corner he heard a scream from behind him.
"I think I just saw a rat over there!" Number two pointed. The other two hadn't seen him yet as he dashed away. He could hear them coming. He ran under a door to a classroom. But they were right there, opening the door and turning the light on.
"I think I saw it come in here. Maybe it's from one of the labs?" Megumi suggested. They all got down on their knees and started searching the room.
'I thought girls were supposed to hate rats and run away. Not chase after them.' Yuki hid behind the book cases against the wall.
"Would you let me go already? This is why I didn't want to take you." Kyo complained loudly.
"Their fine now, don't worry so much." Kagura answered still holding him back.
"They are not fine, and stop telling me what to do." She was disturbingly silent for a second, that caused him to glance at her.
"Kyo, you're such a jerk! Can't you let anyone have a romantic moment? You're can be so cruel!" She slammed him into the dirty floor again.
"If I'm such a jerk then why don't you leave me alone? And you're one to be talking about being cruel!" He responded. Senji glanced back, curious to see what the ruckus was in the back.
"Just some lover's spat, I guess." He shrugged. Tohru took the chance to break away quickly and head for the exit. But she only got so far before he grabbed her around the waist and pulled her down again.
"Did I say you could leave yet?" Tohru felt a couple of tears spring loose and slide down her face. "Oh and now you're gonna cry about it. Girls are so typical." He mocked and looked back at the screen. Tohru balled up her one fist tightly. Just as he turned to say something else, she swung her fist forward, making contact with his face. He whipped his head around, staring in shock. She had actually made his nose bleed. She, herself was shocked as well. Kyo and Kagura stopped fighting for a second after what had happened.
Yuki found his only means of escape, a vent big enough for him to fit through. Megumi was still standing next to the door, so there was no getting past her. He got inside and would follow it to the next room and go from there. This was assuming he wasn't going to transform on the way.
His feet echoed through the metal vent as he ran. Hopefully they couldn't hear it.
'Please don't transform, please don't transform...' He thought as he went. He found the entrance to the next classroom. He pushed through the vent cover and got out. He was home free now as he hurried down the hall. Suddenly as he neared the boys' locker room, Motoko came out of the girls' locker room. She was rubbing her head, where she had hit it and was carrying...his clothes.
He stopped short, looking for anywhere to hide. But it was too late; she was now staring right at him.
There was a knock at Shigure's door. He answered it quickly, thinking it might be Yuki and he could have some company. Instead it was Hatsuharu...even so, he happily invited him in.
"So what brings you all the way over here?" Shigure asked as they sat down.
"Why are you acting to happy to see me? Where is everyone else?" He asked back in his normal (normal?) composed tone.
"Yuki is at the school for some meeting and Tohru went out on a date with a class mate. Kyo and Kagura went to go spy on her." Shigure answered.
"Right, I had heard something about her going out. Although I don't know what she'll think about the other two being there."
"It'll all be interesting to hear about later though." Haru just shook his head in disbelief. They needed to get him a girlfriend or something. He had way too much free time.
Authors' notes-I know this one wasn't so long but basically here's the problem:( I could really use a chart right now or something) My first Fruits Basket story was eleven chapters long and I would like to make this one as long. Although that might be hoping for too much. I am running out of ideas on this story. The opening on this with Shigure I can soo relate to. That's why it's there.
