Hey peoples! Sorry about the delay. I was reading manga, and only wrote like one page per day. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own Fruits Basket.
Sunday came and went with nothing much happening. Monday was awkward for Yuki, Tohru, Kyo, Hana, and Uo. Tohru and Uo kept looking at Hana weirdly because she would go out with such a horrible person. Kyo, Yuki, Uo, and Tohru couldn't really be together for fear of someone finding out and telling Akito. Yuki acted nicer to Kyo and didn't beat on him. He did not want Uo to get mad at him because that might make Tohru mad at him too. Although Yuki was nicer, he laughed whenever he saw Kyo anywhere near Uo.
Finally, during lunch, Kyo had to know why Yuki was always laughing at him. Kyo was sitting between Uo and Tohru, Yuki on the other side of Tohru, and Hana on the other side of Uo. "What the hell are you laughing at!" Kyo yelled, standing up and slamming his hands on the desk he was sitting at.
Everybody stopped what they were doing to watch. Yuki and Kyo's fights were always entertaining and have become very famous in the school. Right now, the score is Yuki 67 Kyo 0.
What am I supposed to say? I can't just reveal the relationship between Kyo and Uo. I'll have to be mean to be nice. Yuki quickly thought. "Your face," Yuki answered.
"No, I think it's going to be your face people will be laughing at," Kyo retorted as he threw a punch at Yuki. Yuki easily dodged it and grabbed Kyo's arm, twisting it and making Kyo fall to his knees. Now, at other schools, the students might yell, "Fight," continuously, but they have tried so many times, but made teachers come and stop the fight. Now they just watched from where they were standing. Kyo tried to get up, but Yuki twisted his arm harder. He gave a small yelp of pain.
"Say uncle," Yuki said.
"No, never!" Kyo retorted. Yuki twisted harder. "Uncle!" Kyo yelled.
A teacher came running into the classroom. "What happened?" He asked.
All the students went back to what they were doing. Yuki let Kyo's arm go, and they were in their seats before the teacher saw them. "Kyo was just remembering his favorite uncle that died last year," Yuki answered, cleverly.
"Oh, as long as everybody's ok," the teacher said, leaving.
"Yuki wins again!" someone said. He took out a sheet of paper and added a tally under Yuki's name. "The score is now Yuki 68, Kyo zip," he announced. Everybody started whispering, but went back to whatever they were doing.
Kyo went back to the table and quickly finished eating. He threw away his trash and left the room. Yuki sat down and started eating, but calmly. Uo got up and went after Kyo. Hana had been eating the entire time. Tohru watched Kyo, then Uo run off. She turned to Yuki and said, "Yuki, what were you really laughing at?"
Yuki sighed and was about to say it out loud, but he remember Hana sitting near them. He leaned in and whispered," Kyo with Uo," into Tohru's ear.
Tohru giggled and whispered back, "It's kind of funny, because they're usually fighting, but it wasn't really nice nor called for."
"What are you guys talking about that I can't be part of it?" Hana asked, coming up behind Yuki.
Tohru quickly thought for an answer. "You caught us. We were making plans for your birthday that's coming up next week. It was supposed to be a surprise."
"Oh, well, could you invite Akito?" Hana said.
Yuki's expression went mad for a second but thought. Calm down, we're still in school. Tohru noticed this and answered, "Yes, sure, we'll send him an invitation."
Yuki turned to Tohru in amazement. "Are you really sure we should do that?" he whispered to her after Hana went back to her seat.
"Yes, who says he'll com though?" she whispered back. "Now, we should really start planning her party."
"Ok…how does a surprise birthday party get planned? Especially since the surprise is ruined?"
"Kyo! Stop! Talk to me!" Uo kept calling, running after Kyo. He finally stopped and sat down under a tree. Uo reached him and sat next to him, catching her breath. Once she finally did, she looked at him and said, "What happened?"
"I don't know. He's just so annoying, laughing every time I'm around him. Yuki gets everything. He has Tohru who Akito allows to know the secret. He that Tohru can be together everyday," Kyo complained. "Yuki just gets everything," he repeated.
"I know something you have that he doesn't," Uo said.
"Yeah, what?"
"Me," Uo whispered and kissed him.
Kyo was shocked, but only for a split second. He closed his eyes and thought. I love the way she cheers me up. He reached for her hand and squeezed it, a sign to show that he loved her.
They parted, and Uo said," I love you, too." She looked at her watch. "Let's get back to the classroom. Class is going to start soon."
"Yeah." They walked to class holding hands, but just before they walked into the classroom, they let go. Just as they sat in their seats, the bell rang. The rest of the school day was normal. Yuki stopped laughing when Kyo was around, but it was practically killing him to keep it in.
On the way home, Yuki and Tohru told Kyo about the "surprise" party for Hana. "So you ruined the surprise. Just plan it the same, but have it the day before. That's Saturday so it should work out," Kyo said.
"Since when were you the expert at having parties?" Yuki asked.
"I've read about them. Nothing wrong with that," Kyo answered.
That's a good idea though. How will we get her there without her knowing?" Tohru said.
"We should have Akito take her out as a "date" to wherever it's going to be," Kyo said.
"Like Akito's going to cooperate," Yuki scoffed.
"Let's at least try," Tohru said. She ran off, trying to get home quickly so she could call Akito. Kyo and Yuki looked at each other and then ran off after her.
Uo was walking home pondering over what Tohru told her. So she ruined Hana's birthday party that was supposed to be a surprise. Now we also have to plan on how to make her even more surprised. How are we going to do that? She thought for awhile. I know! We'll invite Akito. She likes him. Uo thought with glee. I'll tell Tohru tomorrow.
Tohru got home and dialed Akito's number. "Hello?" a voice at the other line said.
"Hi, Hatori? Can I speak to Akito?" Tohru said.
"Yes, Tohru, please hold," Hatori said.
"Hello?" Akito's cold voice came thought the receiver.
"Hello Akito. I was just wondering if you would like to come to Hana's surprise birthday party." Tohru quickly said into the mouthpiece.
It was so fast that Akito had to take a second to interpret what she had just said. "Why?" he said after he had interpret what she said.
"Well, it's not really a surprise anymore, because she knows. She wants you there, so will you go?" Tohru explained.
"Well, since it's for her, yeah. I'll go," Akito agreed.
"Okay, it's going to be next week on Saturday, the day before her actual birthday since the party part was spoiled. We were also hoping if you would bring her," Tohru said.
"Why do I have to bring her?" Akito asked.
"We want you to make it seem like a date so she won't suspect anything," Tohru said.
"Fine, I'll do it then," Akito said.
"You will? Great! I'll call back later this week to tell you what time it would be. Bye!" Tohru said and then hung up. Just as she finished talking Kyo and Yuki walked in the door. They decided that they didn't want to talk to Akito at all so they went back to walking.
"You called him," Yuki said, noticing how she had hung up. "How are we going to break the news to Hana?"
"We don't have to. Akito agreed with the plan," Tohru said.
"That's great," Kyo sarcastically said.
"Now we'll just have to tell Uo," Tohru said.
"Yeah, let's do that tomorrow though. It'll be easier if we did it in person instead of over the phone," Yuki said.
"Ok," Tohru agreed.
Akito just stared at the phone in his hand. What did I just agree to? He thought.
"So what was that about?" Hatori asked.
"Nothing important. I'm going out," Akito said. He went out, and after going out the gates he started thinking. What am I going to get her? He pondered on that question for a long time. Then he walked past a dress store. Hmm. Maybe I should get her a dress that might make her look even more beautiful. He walked into the store to be greeted by a girl with pigtails and glasses wearing a nurse's outfit (this time).
"Welcome, can I help you pick out something?" she said with a smile.
"No thank you. I'll look around a bit," Akito answered.
Just as he was walking off, someone came out of the back room and balled," Mine, could you help-"but stopped when he saw Akito. "A-akito, what are you doing here?"
"I should be asked you the same thing," Akito said looking shocked at Ayame.
"I own this dress shop, but I thought you knew," Ayame answered.
"I didn't know that is was this one," Akito said.
"Well, what are you doing in a dress shop anyway?" Ayame questioned.
"I'm," Akito paused. Should I tell him? Why the hell not? Hatori's going to tell him anyway, but Shigure mustn't know. Not yet. "I'm getting a dress for someone," he finished.
"I see. Well, what size is she?" Ayame asked.
"I don't know. Do you have a chart or samples I can look at?" Akito asked.
"Please, come to the back," Ayame lead. Akito followed. Ayame pointed to a wall. "Which on seem to fit her?" he asked.
"That on," Akito said, pointing to one, right away. He'd know what size looked like Hana's.
"Ok, now the design. What theme would it be?" Ayame asked.
"Something dark," Akito responded.
"Ok, look in this book and choose a design," Ayame said, pulling out a book.
Akito flipped through the book, but after a few minutes he stopped. This one's perfect. He thought. "Ayame, make me this dress in that size," he said, pointing.
"Ok, it'll be done in three days. I'll deliver it to you when it's done," Ayame said.
"Ok, home much am I going to have to give you?" Akito asked.
"Nothing, I'm just happy you came," Ayame said, not wanting to get on Akito's bad side. Not really though. This scared the crap out of me. He thought as he saw Akito out. When Akito had left, he said to Mine, "Now, can you help me with this hem?"
Akito thought to himself. Hana is going to lover her present.
The next day at school, Uo, Kyo, Yuki and Tohru met together to discuss Hana's surprise party while Hana was reading one of her books. "Since the party is ruined, I thought we could surprise Hana by inviting Akito," Uo said.
"Well, we've already-," Yuki started to say.
"That's a great idea!" Kyo interrupted him, glaring.
"Yeah, and we could surprise her more by having the party the day before her actual birthday. That'll surprise her, and we can also have Akito bring her, pretending that it's a date," Tohru said. Telling Uo what she had already arranged.
"Yeah, that's great!" Uo said.
"Ok, then where are we going to have it and when?" Yuki asked.
"Your house is big, and we could have Akito blindfold her or something," Uo answered.
"Shigure should agree with this," Tohru said.
"Yeah, and it'll be at one, after lunch. We could play Richman Poorman (do not own) and bowling afterwards where we could have cake and give presents," Uo planned.
"Wow, that's practically the whole day, I think," Kyo said.
"We could have dinner after that. I'll make something," Tohru said.
"I'll help you," Uo said. "While we are cooking, you guys can decorate the room. Don't break anything, or ruin anything.
"Sure," Yuki said. Beats cooking. He though. (Yuki really hates cooking, but did that time to be with Tohru.)
"Ok, so how are we going to decorate it?" Kyo asked. They discussed the decorations and the rest of the plans. Class started, and they had just finished. Everyone couldn't wait until the day of the party.
Sorry that chapter took so long to update. I spent most of my time reading manga, and only wrote like a page a day. Please continue to review though!
