Alright, now onto the story!
Chapter 2- It's My Party...
The crowd remains silent as the five Sohmas continue to argue. Ayame laughs and talks to Shigure while Kyo continues to steam, Haru watches Yuki intently, and Yuki still tries to hide the faint blush.
Finally, Yuki is able to make contact with Shigure. "Shigure…you volunteered us for this show…are we going to do anything or can I leave now?" A slight hint of annoyance is evident in his voice.
"Yeah, being on stage is stupid enough. And being stuck with Ayame is sickening, but why the hell do we have to sit here and do nothing?" Kyo yells above the other conversations happening around him.
Shigure smiles at his cousin. "That my dear Kyo is for the audience to decide." He turns to face the crowd. "Are you ready for Whose Line is it Anyway?" The crowd cheers and Shigure turns to face the contestants once more. "They agree! Now on with the skits!"
"You don't need to ask the damn audience to tell you to start. You're in charge!" Kyo shouts. He mumbles, "Shigure in charge of a game show as stupid as this…being with Kagura is even better than 'If You Know What I Mean' and 'Prop in a box…'"
Yuki looks at Shigure and then to Kyo while smirking. "You actually watch this show? I thought that it was idiotic."
"Damnit ya rat! I was only saying that I saw the show when I was looking for a good one to watch!" Kyo's eyes begin to flicker.
"Is that why you know the names of the skits?" The smirk never leaves Yuki's face.
"Shut-up!" Kyo shouts at the top of his lungs. "You have no idea what you're talking about! I'm sure that you watch this damn show and like it too!"
Yuki looks away. "…idiot…"
"Damnit ya rat! I never said that I watch it! I was looking for something good to watch on TV!"
"I'm surprised that you didn't go so far as to watch one of those children shows…although they do seem more suitable for your intellect level." Yuki smirks.
"Shut-up ya damn rat!" Kyo stands up and shoots Yuki a threatening glare.
Shigure smiles and stands. "Welly, well well then. I suppose that we should start the first skit ne? Party Quirks! This is for all players. Yuki, you are having a party and invited Aaya, Kyo and Haru. The other three, or the guests, have all be handed out cards. On those cards are the characteristics or parts that they need to act out."
Yuki looks at Shigure and asks ever so blankly, "Why would I invite that stupid cat anywhere…"
Kyo's glare never disappeared. "Like I would even go anywhere if you were there!"
Ayame stands and winks at Shigure. "Another party. Just like in our high school days 'Gure! But this time Brother is inviting me!"
Yuki's glare turns to Ayame. "Brother…you're uninvited!"
Shigure sweat dropped. "Now now, it's just a skit. It's not real. Just go with it."
Haru watches Yuki. Heart. "Nn…let's just finish this and then it can be over…" He looks at his card and smiles. "Let's do this now…"
Yuki looks at Haru and then away again while sighing. "Fine. The sooner that we act the sooner we can leave…"
Ayame looks at Yuki and smiles. "That's the spirit!" An anger mark appears on Yuki's head.
Kyo remains tense, but manages to speak through gritted teeth. "Fine…" He opens his envelope and looks at his card. His face falters for a moment and he throws the card to the ground. 'There is no way…no way that I'll do this…"
Shigure gives Kyo a perplexed look. "Whatever do you mean? Is there a problem?"
Kyo glares. "Hell there's a problem. I am not going to act as a !"
"Oh now Kyo, you wouldn't want to reveal your character to all of us now would you? Or…do you?" Shigure pulls a picture out from his desk and holds it in his hands, playfully letting it swing back and forth. "Would Kagura like that?"
Kyo sulks in his chair and crosses his arms. He mumbles, "Damn Shigure…"
Ayame opens up his envelope and for a moment he remains silent. After everyone stares at him in confusion, he begins to laugh. "Ah, it doesn't matter. I am sure that Gure knows best! He knows what he's doing!"
Yuki continues to look at Ayame. That has to be the longest amount of time that Brother has ever remained silent…it must have been just a little over a few minutes…
Shigure looks at each member on stage. "Are you ready now?" Not waiting for a response because enough time was already wasted from arguing, he smiles. "Good. Now Yuki, you go and stand in the middle of the stage. Remember, you're planning for a party. The others will join you shortly. And you may begin!"
Yuki looks at the others as they all rise, then soon does so himself. He makes his way to the center of the stage, takes a deep breath and then clears his throat ever so quietly. "I wonder what is taking my guests so long. They should have been here already. Maybe leeks were not the best choice on the menu…" There is a sound of a doorbell as Yuki walks stage right. "Oh, that's either a guest or a delivery boy. I should answer it." He pretends to open the door and Ayame steps on stage.
"Ah, welcome Brother, I am…glad…that you could make it. I was beginning to fear that this party was going to be a disaster. Now that you're here, I am sure that things would be fine."
Ayame grins and nods his head. He waves and hurries towards center stage. Ayame looks at Yuki and begins to act out several movements with his hands. This is difficult…but I can finish this and make Baby Brother proud!
Yuki walks to Ayame in confusion. "Brother…do you have something to say?" Ayame begins to dance around, trying to make Yuki understand his actions. "Do you…have to go to the bathroom?" Ayame shakes his head rapidly and places two hands out before him, acting like he is pulling a heavy object by a rope.
"Brother…really…are you sure that you're suppose to-" Yuki is cut off by another tone of a doorbell. "Brother, I will return shortly, I need to see who else is at the door." Yuki walks stage right and pretends to answer the door.
Kyo steps on stage with a disgusted look. "Hello ya da-…Yuki. I came for the party…"
Yuki glares at Kyo. "Yes, I did invite you. Please…come in…" He pretends to close the door after Kyo and walks center stage. "I am serving leeks this evening. Is that fine with you?"
Kyo's eyes narrow as he looks at Yuki. "Yes…that is fine…leeks are my fave. I eat them day and night…get me some cheese while you're at it…cheese is good too." It is obvious that Kyo hates his role, but is still trying to remain calm and collected. Damn this is stupid…how am I supposed to act this one out… He smirks and still looks at Yuki, sounding more enthusiastic, but mocking at the same time.
"Yes, cheese and leeks are delicious. I grow them in my garden outside the house that I live in. I cannot get enough leeks, especially if there is a plateful of cheese to go with it. Mornings are really bad for me, I just wake up and cannot bring my eyes to open completely." His smirk never leaves his face.
Yuki's eyes narrow. "You sound like…you're…" He holds back and an anger mark appears.
Kyo smirks. "I don't know what you mean. Is there a problem Yuki? And…where are those leeks and cheese?"
Yuki takes his arm back as if he is about to hit Kyo and stops when there is another sound of a doorbell. With a sigh, Yuki walks over to it. "I wonder who that could be now…" He pretends to open the door and Haru enters the stage. "Hello Haru…welcome to the party. You're the last one here…"
Haru smiles and grabs Yuki's wrist. "…Yuki…you look ill…"
Yuki looks at Haru with a face of perplexing look. "I really am fine Haru…what are you doing?"
Haru places a finger on Yuki's forehead. "Shhhh…don't talk. You'll only get worse. I'm here to help you…" He takes Yuki by the shoulders and gently pushes him backwards to the stool. "Now…you're sick and I'll going to make you well…" He smirks.
Yuki faintly blushes once more. "H-Haru…I'm fine, really!" He looks to the other two people on stage and sees Ayame pretending to be trapped within a box and Kyo crawling around on the ground with an angry look on his face. "Haru…don't you want to see the other guests now?"
Haru shakes his head. "I want to stay here…with you…you're sick." He places his hand on Yuki's forehead and removes his bangs. Yuki fidgets lightly from Haru's touch. He looks to the audience and then towards the ground. Is this skit almost over…
Haru removes his hand and walks behind Yuki. He places a hand on his back. "I need to see something…"
Yuki hesitantly nods. "That's fine…as long as it is…skit related…"
Haru smirks again and begins to tug on Yuki's shirt upwards, making Yuki jump off the stool and pull his shirt down defensively. "Haru! What are you doing!" Although he sounds angry, there is a faint blush and smile present.
Haru looks blankly at Yuki. "Nn…skitting…acting…" Maybe…
Yuki shakes his head. "What could you be acting out? You're feeling my forehead and back…it's not like you're my doctor…" A buzzer sounds and Haru leaves the stage, returning to his seat. Yuki blinks. "What…just happened…" Did I make him upset?
Shigure begins to laugh. "Ah Yuki Yuki Yuki. You really haven't seen this show before. When you say what the person is acting out, they have to leave the stage. Haru played a doctor so he had to leave. Now can you guess Aaya and Kyo?"
Yuki looks to the two Sohmas still on the stage. "…a nuisance and an idiot…?"
An anger mark forms on Kyo's face. "Why you little…"
Yuki smirks. "Kyo is obsessing over leeks and cheese…it seems like he's matured slightly…"
Kyo begins to look angrier. "Say that again…"
Ayame runs between the two and frantically makes hand motions. Yuki sighs in annoyance. "Brother…if you have to say something, then say it…this is even more annoying…"
Ayame wears a face of hurt for a moment and then gets an idea. He stands behind Kyo and begins to imitate his movements, including the anger that was clearly seen on the cat's face.
Yuki nods. "I see…Brother is a mime…" The buzzer sounds once more and Ayame returns to his seat next to Haru, who is ever so intently watching Yuki. Yuki walks up to Kyo. "That leaves you…you said cheese and leeks a few times…" He also mentioned waking up early and a garden…I'll take care of that part later… "You are a mouse who craves leeks and cheese…"
Kyo glares at Yuki as the buzzer rings once…then a second time…a third….again and again… He looks at Shigure. "What the hell are you doing? Stop that!" He walks to his stool and takes a seat. "Damn you're annoying…"
Shigure smiles, ignoring all that Kyo had said. "You may sit down now Yuki." He does so. "Now at the end of the first round, Yuki, you have one thousand points, Haru, you have one thousand points, Aaya, you have one thousand and one points. Kyo, you have one thousand and five points!"
Kyo stands and points at Yuki. "Ya hear that ya damn rat! I have more points than you!"
Yuki gives Kyo an entirely uninterested look. "Whose Line is it Anyway. The game show where the points don't matter, that's right the points don't matter. The points matter just as much as the intellect of Kyo…nothing…"
Kyo darts for Yuki but is stopped by Haru grabbing his shoulder. Haru has a fiery glare in his eyes. "Don't…touch him…"
Ayame closes his eyes and nods. "You will not harm my dear Baby Brother."
Yuki hold his head from the oncoming headache and steps off the stage. "That's enough…
Shigure sweatdrops. "Does anyone else feel a commercial break coming on?" The audience answers together, "Yes…yeah yeah." The audience leaves in one motion and Shigure joins the others on stage. After a few words, the Sohmas walk backstage and disappear. They disappear that is until the camera man follows…
End of chapter 2
I hope that you still like it. I actually wrote it on the spur of the moment...I was in the middle of English class during presentations and my mind was reeling. After dodging my teacher's eyes, I managed to write it out and eventually type it when I came home.
Thanks for reading! Please RR!
