Author's Note: There I go again with my laziness... but at least I updated, right? Enjoy.
Chapter 3 - The Snow Plan
His reaction was slow, as he stare absentmindedly into space. Even so, the food that he was covered with was mostly warm. He thought of - no, he couldn't think too quickly. He just stare blankly at the group who were mostly shocked, but one or two was laughing.
"Hatsuharu-kun, are you okay? The food is not hot, is it?" the concerned Tohru asks.
Haru took a while to answer, when most of the group was waiting for a response from him. "Oh... did this happen to me?" he asks, slowly looking at himself covered with the meal.
"Yep!" Momiji happily replies.
"Obviously, the person who's laughing nearby the doorway is the one who caused lunch to be ruined," Yuki informs, looking at Shigure, as he keeps snickering. But soon the laughing stopped by an evil presence Shigure senses from behind him. He turns around, looking at the angered editor.
"Oh, hello there, Mii-chan," Shigure said in his usual way of joking around.
"Don't you 'hello' me! You do know there's something you need to finish right now!" Mii retorts, dragging the dog to his office.
After the little commotion, Tohru suggests to Haru, "Umm... Hatsuharu-kun, there's a bathroom upstairs if you want to get cleaned up."
"Thank you, but... where's the stairs again?" Haru asks in his solemn tone.
Yuki and Kyo were a bit ashamed at Haru, but... "I guide you there!" Momiji exclaims. He grabs Haru by the hand and prances towards the stairs and into the hallway, while dragging Haru away.
"Geez... this is too troublesome," Kyo sighs, leaning his back against the wall.
"It's alright. I'll clean it up," Tohru assures them.
"Then, I'll try helping you." Yuki pleasantly smiles at Tohru.
Tohru smiles back. "Sure."
Kyo, on the other hand, was slightly sick of this feeling of warmth. "I guess I'll help." The three cleans up the mess and puts all the dishes into the kitchen sink, while everyone else was up to there duties. Soon the skies were darkened and dinner passes by. Tohru sets up a futon into the common room for Momiji and Haru to sleep at. They knew that they couldn't make it to their house, so unintentionally they had to stay. Sleeping, everyone was at peace.
Morning comes with Momiji throwing snowballs at Kyo and Haru. The hyper bunny couldn't miss the opportunity; he wanted to play, since it has been a while playing with snow. "I got you!" he exclaims, happily and laughing.
Kyo couldn't help, but yell at Momiji. "What the hell, damn rabbit! You know how cold that snow is!" He noogies Momiji's head, while Momiji whines.
"Ah... that felt refreshing," Haru said, blankly.
Kyo stares at Haru, strangely. He knew Haru could not give a straight-forward answer, but being thrown a snowball, to Kyo's opinion, doesn't mean "refreshing".
Since it was another somewhat disturbing morning, the sleepy Yuki slowly walks into the kitchen. Kyo smirks, thinking of an idea. "Hey, rat boy, how about we have a snowball fight outside?" he offers.
Yuki, leaning his head against the wall, ignores the cat simply because of his sleepiness.
"Yeah, let's have a snowball fight!" Momiji said in his usual cheerful and childish voice.
That is when Tohru exits from the kitchen into the living room they were in. "That seems fun," Tohru comments, "I'll try playing if you want me to."
"Okay, you can play with us," Momiji said, looking at Tohru. He glances towards the guys with a slightly serious face. "You guys better go easy on Tohru, since she's a girl. It would mean if Kyo threw a snowball very hard at her."
"Why do you always have to accuse me everything?" Kyo asks in an almost angered tone.
"Because you always go hard on everyone," Momiji answers.
"It's alright, if you go hard on me. Even though the game is competitive, I will never give up!" Tohru said with certain determination, "Oh, and breakfast is almost ready, so we'll play after breakfast, okay?"
"Okay!" Momiji shouts excitedly.
Author's Note: Done. This was pretty much like a one shot without setting the story up, but I hoped you liked it. I think the next chapter is going to be the last one for this short story.
