Thank you to all those who reviewed! I'm still unsure as to if I'm going to add the bonus chapter...but...I might.(Oh, it involves Romeo and Juliet dying, so if you like them, then don't read it.) This is Act II of "Romeo and Juliet", and yes, I do have a copy sitting in front of me as I write this(how else could I quote?)
Disclaimer: I own neither Fruits Basket or Romeo and Juliet. Of course, if I did write Romeo and Juliet...heehee...EVIL THINGS WOULD'VE HAPPENED!
It took a few minutes for Kyo and Yuki to settle down after their tussle. In the time the chorus said his lines, both Yuki and Kyo managed to spout eighteen more insults at each other before Kyo had to go on stage. Scene one went by fast, as Uotani and Manabe just talked. Manabe actually was pretty good at this scene as he tried to call for Kyo.
Now, scene two. (The balcony scene!) Kyo went on stage and said, "He jests at scars that never felt a wound." Then, Yuki showed up in the balcony. Kyo then grumbled through his lines, the words meshing together so no one could understand him. "Butsoft. whatlightthroughyonderwindowbreaks. tistheeastandjulietisthesun. Arisefairsunandkilltheenviousmoonwhoisalreadysickandpalewtihgriefthatthouhermaidartfarmorefairthanshe. Benothermaidsincesheisenvious. Hervestalliveryisbutsickandgreencandnonebutdowearit.

He gave up and said, "Basically, the idiot is saying he likes the girl, got it!" The audience laughed. Yuki frowned, but said his line. Kyo looked like he was about to charge at Yuki. He shook with rage. "Shespeaksospeakagainbrightangelforthouartasgloriousasarat'sass..beingovermyheadasisawingedmessengerofhelluntothewhite-upturnedwoneringeyesofmortalsthatfallbacktogazeonhimwhenhebestridesthelazy-pacingcloudsandsailsuponthebosomoftheair." Few people noticed the changes Kyo had made, but those who did laughed.
Yuki looked disgusted as he said his lines. "O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name;
Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And I'll no longer be a Capulet."
"NO FREAKIN' WAY!" yelled Kyo.
"It's not like I meant it," muttered Yuki loud enough for Kyo to hear.
"OH YEAH? STUPID RAT! IF I REALLY WERE ROMEO, I WOULD'VE SHOT MYSELF!"
"Well, your character still ends up dying in the end."
"I DAMN WELL KNOW THAT!"
"Just shut up, stupid cat."
"DON'T TELL ME WHEN TO SHUT UP!"
"Kyo-kun," whispered Tohru. Kyo looked at her, then saw that she was pointing towards the audience. Kyo turned bright red.
He said his line. Yuki continued to say his lines, but he too began to shake with anger. They continued to say their lines, each getting more agitated. Finally, Kyo cracked again, halfway through the scene.
"DAMMIT!" he yelled before jumping up on top of the makeshift balcony(which was barely an inch above Kyo's head) and tried to hit Yuki. Yuki blocked, but a fight broke out. The audience watched, and thinking it was part of the play, began to laugh. Takei signaled for the curtains to go down before he walked over to Kyo and Yuki. Kyo was lying on the floor because Yuki had just nailed him with a punch.
"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU TWO THINKING!" yelled Takei. "YOU'RE MAKING US LOOK LIKE FOOLS!"
"WHO GIVES A DAMN!" shouted Kyo back.
It took five minutes before Kyo calmed down enough to continue the play. They finished the scene, then moved on to the next scene. That scene went by rather quickly, as Kyo only had to converse with Friar Laurence. The fourth scene was more up Kyo's alley, as he could act more like a punk and less like a prissy. Minagawa, however, was not entirely thrilled about this scene, but then, who could blame her? The nurse got picked on. Yuki performed scene five with grace, and Minagawa often sighed when she spoke, which irritated Yuki to no end.
Then, the sixth scene. Kyo and the friar went on stage. Kyo looked about ready to kill someone, and the actor next to him was rather jumpy. Yuki entered the stage, but although they both wished each other death, they didn't fight. When the curtains went down, they broke into a fist fight.
"BOYS!" yelled the principal. This got Kyo's and Yuki's attentions. The principal looked sternly at Yuki and Kyo. "You are NOT supposed to be fighting at school! Therefore, you both will be suspended for a week after the play is over!"
Both just glared at the principal before spouting insults at each other.
"Didn't you hear me?" asked the principal.
Well, that was short. Sorry, but I don't want to write out the whole act. So I just decided to summarize how the characters are going. That and it's midnight here in California, and my sister's having a slumber party(and they are LOUD! I mean, I'm on the opposite side of the house and I can STILL hear them.). Oh, and thanks to all those who put in reviews.
Special Notice: From July 13 to the 24 I will be in Europe, so (obviously) I won't be able to update. I will try (key word: try) to update once more before I go on my trip. But don't count on it, I'm pretty busy this weekend.
