Chapter 3
Kyo and Yuki both stormed through the front door of Shigure's house and stomped all the way to their rooms.
"Welcome back, Tohru," said Shigure when he saw her standing in the hallway. "Where are Yuki and Kyo?"
"Upstairs," said Tohru. "They're really mad right now."
"Why?"
"I honestly don't know," she said. "They were fine before lunch, but at lunch, they were furious."
Shigure shook his head. "Don't worry, Tohru. I'm sure we'll find out soon enough."
Next day...
Tohru was busy fixing breakfast in the kitchen when Yuki came in.
"Honda-san?"
Tohru jumped like she'd been shot out of a cannon. "Yuki-kun! You scared me."
Yuki paused for a few minutes, trying to gather his thoughts. "Honda-san, I'd like to apologize for worrying you."
"Hmm?"
"Yesterday...when Kyo and I were angry...we worried you, didn't we?"
"A little," admitted Tohru. "Why were you guys so mad?"
Yuki paused, not exactly sure how to say what the announcement had so boldly printed on it. "Well...that is...um..."
"What's going on?" asked Shigure. "What're you going to say to Tohru?"
"Shut up," snapped Yuki. He turned around and stomped off towards the table.
"HUH!" Tohru began working into a panicked state. "Did I do something? Did they have a really bad fight? Are they sick? Did something happen at school that I don't know about?"
"Calm down, Tohru," said Shigure. "They're probably just mad at each other."
Tohru finished making breakfast, then brought it out from the kitchen. Kyo and Yuki were glaring at each other, as though each of them was daring the other to move in any way. Shigure was just reading his paper. Tohru relaxed a little bit.
Later...
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" laughed Uotani when she saw Kyo and Yuki. "I feel sorry for the producer!"
"Shut up, Yankee!" yelled Kyo.
Yuki shook his head in embarrassment.
Tohru looked greatly confused.
Hanajima looked at Tohru. "Go over to the announcement, and you'll see what we're talking about, Tohru."
Tohru nodded. She walked over to the board, but she couldn't find the announcement. She returned to her friends. "It's not there," she said.
"What's not there?" asked Yuki.
"The announcement should be on the board," said Hanajima. She left and came back. "How strange. It's missing."
"Or maybe stupid Sensei took it down," said Kyo. "That would be a relief."
"YUUKII-KUUUUUUUN!" came a cry.
They all looked up and saw several third year girls, all hiding something.
"What is it, sempai?" asked Yuki politely.
"We wanted to congratulate you on being in the play," said the girl with short black hair. "We also pitched in and bought you your costume!" They brought out a dress from behind their backs. It was light blue, with a long skirt, billowing sleeves, and a high neckline.
"How thoughtful of you," Yuki said politely. He smiled, but it was icy.
Tohru was even more confused. What's going on?
Kyo looked at the dress, then burst out laughing. "Hahahahaha, just like the cultural festival, hahahaha," he laughed.
Yuki punched him. Kyo then started snarling and they got into a loud argument.
"What's going on?" asked Tohru, very much confused.
"Well...y'see...you tell her, Hanajima," said Uotani, trying hard not to laugh.
"Kyo and Yuki got the lead roles," she said bluntly.
"That's wonderful," said Tohru.
"You're missing the point," said Uotani. "Kyo is Romeo and Yuki is...hahahahahahaha! It's so funny!" She had trouble not laughing.
"Yuki is Juliet," said Hanajima.
"You didn't have to put it so bluntly!" said Yuki, blushing.
Tohru finally got it. "Oh."
For the rest of the day, Yuki and Kyo both avoided everyone.
Later...
Kyo stormed off to the roof as soon as they got home. Yuki hid in his room. Tohru went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. She found Shigure rummaging through the fridge.
"What're you looking for, Shigure-san?" asked Tohru.
"Oh, I'm just looking for a snack!" he said brightly. "But now that you're here, you can fix one for me!"
"Certainly," said Tohru. She started fixing a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
"So?" asked Shigure after a few minutes.
"Hmm?" asked Tohru.
"What's wrong with Yuki and Kyo?"
"Oh...um...well...uh...that is..." she said, trying to figure out how to tell Shigure without getting Kyo and Yuki mad at her.
"Yes?" he said, hoping she would tell.
"Um...our school is performing a school play, and...um...it's 'Romeo and Juliet' and...um..."
"And what?" asked Shigure, thinking that Yuki or Kyo was Romeo to Tohru's Juliet. He was so sure Tohru was Juliet. How could she not be?
"Kyo is Romeo...and-"
"And you're Juliet!" he said excitedly.
"NO! Good heavens, no," said Tohru. "I'm not Juliet. Yuki is."
There were several minutes of silence as Shigure absorbed the information.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" laughed Shigure. "YUKI'S JULIET AND KYO'S ROMEO! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! THAT'S JUST RIDICULOUS! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! WAIT TILL AYAA HEARS ABOUT THIS! YUKI'S JULIET, AND KYO'S ROMEO! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! THIS IS TOO-"
Shigure was pounded to the ground by both Yuki and Kyo.
"You tell Nii-san, and you die," said Yuki.
"WHY THE HELL DID YOU TELL SHIGURE!" yelled Kyo.
"Um...well... he kept asking and-"
"YOU NEVER TELL THAT DAMN DOG ANYTHING THAT INVOLVES ROMANCE AND EITHER OF US!"
"Sorry, sorry," apologized Tohru, looking at her feet.
"Augh," said Kyo as he went into his room.
As soon as they heard his door shut, Yuki turned to Tohru. "Don't listen to that stupid cat, Honda-san."
"I'm sorry," she apologized.
"It's not your fault. Shigure would've found out sooner or later," Yuki said reasonably, trying to cheer her up.
"HELLO, AYAA!" came a cheerful voice from another room.
"SHIGURE!" yelled Yuki, racing into Shigure's room to get the phone.
Tohru continued to cook dinner, feeling very, very, VERY miserable.
I'm glad everybody likes it so far. It's going to get eviler(not even a word, but I still use it a lot anyway). Oh, and just to spoil it a little bit, Uotani got her part; she's Mercutio. The other characters will be revealed in the next chapter.
