Chapter 12-Attack of Kagura

A/N-I'm really sorry. I'm sure this is the longest wait between updates. Last chapter, I said I'd get this chapter out within the month, and that was twenty-four days ago. I still have six days to get this chapter out! Well, it'll be five days by the time I can get this on fanfiction net. Yay, staying up late! … Actually, the real reason this chapter is so late is because I was lazy and didn't feel like typing, and then I was temporarily banned from the site. Grrrr, restriction: ( Oh, well, here it is, the next chapter! … And awkward is really hard to spell. Thank goodness for spellcheck, right?

Finally, Shigure's house was calm. There was plenty of food and no crazed family members. It was like a veil of insanity was at long last lifted off. All around the house, things calmed down. Tohru was always smiling, Shigure was always joking around, Yuki and Kyo even fought less.

It was during this calm when it happened. Tohru had just finished cooking diner when the veil of insanity returned to Shigure's household. From the front door came a quick, light rapping--not the music kind, the knocking on a door kind. Shigure pranced off to answer the door. Shortly after, Shigure said, "He's on the roof."

When Shigure returned, Yuki asked, "Who is it?"

"Kagura."

Some noises were heard overhead and then two forms rushed through the house. Finally a slamming of a door and then a girl's crying.

Shigure sighed, "I guess he locked himself in his room again."

Kagura rushed in to where the others were, "Um… Yuki… Kyon Kyon locked himself in your room."

"Whaaaat?"

Before they knew what was happening, both Yuki and Kagura were pounding on Yuki's door, screaming madly. About forty minutes later, Shigure walked by and said, "You know, he probably left through the window."

Yuki said, "But I left the window locked."

Kagura was shocked, "He knows how to unlock windows?"

All three were amazed, "Wow…"

Kagura sighed, "I'll pound my love into a pulp later. I'm too tired and hungry now."

"Yeah, me, too. Only, Kyo's not my love, but I wouldn't mind to pound him into a pulp," Yuki said, stomach rumbling.

Tohru heard and said, "Come on and eat then. I hope you like it."

"Your food is always great, uh, Tohru-sama," Kagura said awkwardly.

"Thanks, and it's just Tohru, alright?"

"Okay," she replied.

Tohru fed Yuki and Kagura since they were hungry and she and Shigure had already eaten while the others chased Kyo. Once the "wonder, amazing, wonderful meal made by our precious flower" (as Shigure put it) was over, Kagura and Tohru sat in Tohru's room on her bed. Kagura sighed and looked pleadingly at Tohru, "Why doesn't Kyon Kyon love me?"

Tohru didn't know what to say, so she put her arm comfortingly around her friend, "I don't know, but it might have something to do with how you're so forward, and painful."

"What do you mean?" Kagura asked, leaning against Tohru.

"You're really forward with your feelings toward Kyo. Some guys don't like it when girls are like that and feel intimidated. Also, you kind of… uh… injure Kyo a lot."

Kagura looked down sadly, "I don't know how to express myself properly. Akito always said that we were different and could never love anyone."

"With him thinking like that, I'm not sure how I was ever born." Tohru chuckled slightly.

Kagura wasn't sure if she found that funny or just disgusting, "It's hard to believe he was your father."

"Mom's really nice. She has that affect on people, I guess. Well, except for how she was a, uh, biker-chick gang member."

"Really? She was. That's awesome!"

"Yeah, the Red Butterfly, they called her. Uo, my friend, still has her trench coat."

"Cool… But Kyo still doesn't love me," Kagura's awe turned to sorrow.

"Well, you could try to be calmer around him, you know, treat him like a person, not just your love, and don't hurt him anymore."

"Calm…" Kagura said the word as if it were a foreign concept, "I've never thought about that…"

"He doesn't look it on the outside, but he's really just a normal guy who needs stability in his life."

"You know a lot about Kyon. Do you… love him too? Because if so, we're rivals, even if you are the head of my--our--family."

"I care for him deeply, possibly even love him, but not like that. He's just a really good friend."

"What about Yuki?"

"I… I don't know, to tell you the truth. I care a lot about Yuki, too, but is it love? I don't know."

Kagura gasped, an idea forming in her head, "What if I married Kyon and you married Yuki? We'd be related!"

"Um… we already are related, you know," Tohru said, a blush appearing on her cheeks at the thought.

"Oh, yeah," Kagura said, not even noticing the blush, "Well, I'd better go find Kyon--and be calm!"

"You seem too hyper to be talking about being calm."

"Oh, heh heh."

Kagura rushed out of the room seeking out Kyo. Tohru remained, unmoving, on her bed, thinking about Kagura's words. 'What about Yuki?'

Meanwhile, Kyo had grown hungry, and returned to Shigure's house. He was raiding the refrigerator when Kagura entered the room, "Hello, Kyon."

"Don't call me that!" He snapped.

"Okay… Kyo."

Kyo shut the refrigerator and looked at Kagura, "Aren't you going to try to beat me up, or something?"

"No, not today. I'm trying to be calmer."

"Heh, like that could ever happen!"

"No, really, I'm going to be calmer and not beat you up."

Kyo couldn't find words to say, so Kagura continued, "I, uh, I hope you can eventually realize that… that I do love you, Kyo. Honestly, I do."

"But Akito said…"

"Akito's dead, remember? And I think Tohru is a lot nicer than her father--however weird that is--was."

"Oh, yeah, Akito…"

"Please, Kyo, give another chance to show you that I love you."

"Once chance, that's all you get."

The two talked long into the night. Unbeknownst to the two, Shigure eavesdropped on them, thinking to himself, 'Awww, the two lovebirds, I knew it would happen eventually. Now, what about Yuki and Tohru? You, know what, Shigure, this love… quadrilateral… would make a good story. I'll have to ask my editor about that, but I'll probably be too busy bugging her. It's so much fun!'

A/N-Well, now you should know the pairings! Yup, it's AkitoXKyoko, KyoXKagura, and YukiXTohru. Actually, I prefer Kyoru myself… It just makes more since this way. Kyoru fans, I'm sorry, but don't be turned off of my story by this. I swear there is very little fluff, if any. I'm not good at writing fluff. Actually, this chapter just flowed out tonight. I'm so happy! For once a chapter turned out exactly like I wanted it!

I'm really sorry, you guys, but for the first time in my life, I know where this story is going. I have the next two chapters plotted out on a piece of paper and the very end of chapter 13 is actually written. Why I'm sorry, however, is that chapter 14 is going to be the end.

I amb however, considering making a sequel, but at the moment I'm undecided about it. Tell me if I should and I might make one. Also, the rest of the story will probably be a little sadder with maybe a hint of fluff. Hm… maybe I'll make another funny/stupid chapter like chapter 11. Man, that was fun to write!
