Chapter 12

"Yuki! Come over here and say hi to your relative!" Ayame exclaimed happily. Everyone looked at Ayame and Aya. Yuki's mouth dropped.

"Relative?!" He asked confused.

Ayame nodded his head.

"Yes Yuki. I'm related to all of you." She revealed.

They all comically hit the floor. Aya and Ayame stood over them.

"Um.... Yuki?" Ayame asked. Ayame exchanged glances with Aya who was to his right side. Aya bent down and checked all three of their pulses.

"They're unconcious." She said standing back up. She and Ayame looked at each other again and then smiled.

"You know what this calls for!" He exclaimed.

"I sure do! Time to dance!" She declared.

The two placed a huge sombrero over the three bodies, did a two second change, and yelled, "Ariba!" Aya was dressed up in a mexican dancing dress that was different shades of red. She had on gold hoop earrings and a gold belt that slanted off her waist downwards. She also had on red high-heeled tapping shoes. She had clauds in her hands. She had her hair up in a clip that still let her hair fall out and almost touch the ground. Ayame was wearing a black tuxedo that actually looked good on him. His hair was pulled back in a low ponytail, tied at the neck. He had on black. dressy, tap dance shoes. He had a rose in his closed mouth and then he smiled. His smile was one of those smiles that sort of sparkle when it was revealed. He had a new irresitible smile. Aya started to walk to the right and so did Ayame.

"You look good, Ayame..." Aya complemented him.

"As do you, Aya." Ayame stopped walking around and got into position for the mexican hat dance. So did Aya, but she curtseied before she got into her position. Aya thrust her foot backwards into a boombox to start the music. They were about to start dancing when Kyo popped out of the hat and started screaming.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU TWO ARE DOING! IN CASE YOU HADN'T NOTICED, WE DON'T HAVE TIME FOR DANCING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He screamed at them both. Slowly Yuki and Shigure climbed from out of the hat as well.

"You're right Kyo, but I so looked forward to seeing them dance!" Shigure replied.

"Oh Shigure stop it. Our focus right now should be Miss Honda!"

"You're right you're right." Shigure said closing his eyes and lifting his hands in the air as if he were surrendering. A scary hollow faced Mii appeared behind Shigure and pushed her finger against his back as if it were a gun.

"Don't move." She said and a creepy, scratchy voice.

"Oh. Mii! What am I accused of?" He asked.

"Missing your dead line again!!!!!!!!" She wailed. She burst into tears and Shigure had to console her into his working room.

"Well, he's defintely out of the picture." Kyo guessed. Yuki started looking around. "Hey rat boy. What's up with you?" Kyo said resting his hands behind his head.

"Um, did anyone see where Miss Honda went?" He asked. Kyo's eyes widened. He glanced around too. Yuki was right, she was gone.

"Uh, lets think straight here." Kyo exclaimed.

"Oh that's grand, coming from you." Yuki retorted.

"You wanna take this outside?!" Kyo exclaimed getting ready to pounce on Yuki.

"Guys, guys!" Aya shouted. She and Ayame had changed back to their regular outfits and had been looking around the room. "There's no time for this. Tohru could've gone anywhere. The door to the house was left opened recently. We have to find her fast! Can't you do this later?"

Kyo glared at Yuki. "Fine. You're just a waste of my time anyways."

"Good. Yuki," Aya said. Yuki looked at her. "You and Ayame search the premisis or the ground around here. Kyo," Aya looked from Yuki to Kyo. "You will search the house with me." Aya finished. Kyo and Yuki and Ayame nodded.

"Foods ready!" Momiji yelled. Everyone looked at him strangely. Momiji felt nervous all of a sudden. "What?! Tohru has been giving me lessons and she said that I was really good!" He continued. Everyone that was there, even Shigure and Mii ran to the table ready to eat. Momiji laughed slightly and then brought out the food for everyone to eat.

"Damn that rabbit. My stomach isn't agreeing with that food." Kyo said. He continued. "Sure it was good when it was going down the hatch but I think it was poisoned or something. Probably. Note to self, never eat anything that wasn't cooked by professionals, Tohru, or myself." Kyo was talking to himself of course. He was upstairs searching the rooms and Aya was downstairs doing the same thing. Kyo searched every room except Tohru's. He hadn't been in there since that one time she got sick. Her room was a little girlie but he sort of liked it. It made him feel comfortable. He slowly opened the door a creek. "Tohru? Ya in here?" He opened the door all the way when he didn't here an answer. He looked in the room and found Tohru, asleep in her bed, maybe even dreaming of riceballs. She had her lips parted slightly and strands of her hair fell over her face. She was facing the door. He walked in. He sat down next to her bed. She looked so tired but still so cute. He brushed back the strands of hair on her face. She looked like an angel. Yes, an angel sent to save him. That's what he always thought of her as. He was going to lean back against the wall but unfortunately, the nightstand stood there. He hit his head on it.

"Ow....." He wimpered. He looked at Tohru. She didn't move. He let out a sigh of relief. The last thing he wanted to do was wake her up. He was about to leave her room when he noticed a hat on her nightstand. He looked at it and thought for a second.

'I've seen this hat before.' He thought to himself. He tried tp rememeber where he had seen that hat before. It looked pretty old and unique. He was about to set down that hat when it finally hit him. 'It can't be, can it?' He asked himself. He looked inside the hat. Inside the hat was a couple of sctrach marks that was actually someone's writing. It was big and fading. Barely noticable. Kyo tried to read it and dropped the hat when he did. The letters in that hat spelled out, Yuki. 'That damn rat.' Kyo was getting more angry every second. He picked the hat up from off the floor. 'So his hat didn't disappear. He gave it to Tohru.' Kyo thought jumping to conclusions. He was grasping the hat so tightly, his knuckles turned pale.

Tohru moved and Kyo glanced in her direction to make sure she didn't wake up. She didn't, she just rolled over. Kyo looked from her back to the hat. 'I hope you don't mind me borrowing this Tohru.' He thought. He then walked out of her room.
