Chapter Three: The leek war begins
"What's the matter Kyo; you don't like what I made?" Ayame said, stepping out of the kitchen, grinning.
"Ayame, what is this?" Kyo asked, growling.
"Well I made quite a spread, let's see, leek pancakes, leek oringi, steamed leek, boiled leek, leek in gravy, leek and liver…"
"You made that all in five minutes?" Yuki asked, bewildered.
"I am NOT going to eat that!" Kyo yelled. "I'll just go make something else."
"Um, that's a problem, Ayame used up all the food" Shigure said.
"And you LET HIM?" Kyo screamed.
"Hey, I was in the back trying to mend the walls" Shigure answered, "Ayame said that he would take care of breakfast."
"And like an idiot, you let him" Yuki said, rolling his eyes.
"Whatever, I'm going to go and but something to eat" Kyo said, walking out.
"Wait, Kyo-kun! It's the day after New Years, shops won't be open for three more days" Tohru said.
"WHAT! You did this on purpose, you damn snake! What the hell do you have against me?" Kyo growled poisonously.
"I have nothing against you, Kyo, just against that biological mistake that is your sister" Ayame said calmly, setting the table.
"Oh, and you happened to forget about me?" Kyo snapped.
"Um, yes" Ayame answered, "doesn't everybody?"
"Now quit acting like bickering kids" Shigure said.
"Yeah, I'll just leave the bickering to Kyo, and the little squirt Yuki" Ayame said.
"Ayame, go to hell" Yuki said calmly.
"I'll be more than delighted to help send him there" Kia said, stepping into the house.
"Kia! Where were you?" Tohru asked.
"On the roof, calming my nerves" Kia said. Kyo snorted and Kia gave glared at him. Kyo instantly sobered.
"What's for breakfast, I'm starved!" Kia exclaimed, as she walked towards the table.
"Here comes the hurricane" Shigure said.
"WHAT KIND OF IDIOT LET THAT DAMN SNAKE MAKE BREAKFAST" Kia yelled, looking directly at Shigure.
"Hey, maybe you should scream a little louder, I think there might be some people 500 miles away that didn't hear you" Shigure said.
Kia seethed for a moment, and then, surprisingly, put on a pleasant face. Kyo, Yuki, Tohru, Shigure, and Ayame all looked at each other in surprise.
"Oh well, no use crying over cooked leeks. Tohru could you please hand me the glass of water, the one right next to Ayame?" Kia asked, her voice cheerful.
"You think she cracked?" Yuki asked Shigure.
"Yeah, I think she did." he answered.
Tohru, with a confused expression walked over to the table the get the glass of water. Right when she was directly in front of Ayame, Kia stuck out her foot, causing Tohru to trip and land on a very surprised Ayame. Then in a cloud of smoke, Ayame disappeared and was replaced by a very perplexed looking snake. (Well a snake that looked as perplexed as a snake could)
"So this was your great plan?" The snake, aka Ayame, asked. "You're slipping."
"Not quite" Kia said, "Brace yourself" she ordered Kyo, Yuki, Shigure, and Tohru. They all hid behind a couch. Kia turned to Ayame, who was trying to slither away.
"Oh no you don't!" Kia yelled. She closed her eyes and a torrent of water rushed into the house, drowning the snake, and thoroughly soaking everybody else.
"Great, first she burns the walls, and then she floods my house" Shigure said shaking his house.
"That was amazing" Yuki said, grinning.
"Yeah, she never did that before!" Kyo exclaimed.
"First fire then water? What does this mean?" Tohru asked.
"My, my Tohru, you really are slow" Kia said, laughing, ignoring the snake that was thrashing in the water behind her.
"I am not slow!" Tohru exclaimed. "This whole thing is just confusing"
"Yeah, you don't know the half of it" Kia mumbled to herself.
"Hey, don't you think we should help out Ayame?" Shigure asked.
"NO" Kia, Kyo, and Yuki all said together.
"Fine, fine, just a suggestion" Shigure said, backing away.
"What if he drowns, though, he can't swim or breathe underwater, he could die!" Tohru exclaimed, worried.
"If he dies that would be a favor to all of us" Kia said. Yuki and Kyo nodded.
"Well horrible or not, he's still a guest and I can't let him die" Tohru said. She walked over, picked up the flailing Ayame and set him on the couch.
"That girl has way too many morals" Kia said. "It's pretty refreshing in an annoying type of way."
"Yeah, I guess, but you don't see girls like that anymore" Kyo said.
"Please, Kyo, don't talk that way, you're embarrassing yourself" Kia said, grinning widely. Kyo instantly shut up and turned a deep red color. Yuki looked on at the scene with interest. Suddenly there was a loud popping sound and Thoru screeched. She instantly turned against the wall.
"Kia, I am going to kill you!" Ayame screamed.
"Really, tell me something I don't know" Kia said offhandedly.
"You would have let me die while you joked around here" Ayame hissed, each word dripping with malice.
"Why aren't we mister genius today" Kia said, mocking him.
"You will pay, you filthy cat, this is war I tell you, war!" Ayame yelled.
"Hey, general, before we go on with this war, will you mind putting something on, we are seeing way too many things we don't want to" Kia said.
"Well I would, if all my clothes weren't soaking" Ayame growled.
"I think I might have something that would fit you just right" Yuki said, smiling. He left for a minute and then came back with the dress he wore for the culture fest.
"Okay, I have two things to say. One- there is no way in hell that I am going to wear that thing, and two- why do you have a ladies dress?" Ayame said.
"It's a long story" Yuki answered. "But it's this or nothing"
"I choose nothing then" Ayame said, haughtily.
"Yeah, well we don't" Kia said, grabbing the dress and stuffing Ayame into it. It was a few inches short, but still fit nicely.
"Tohru, it's okay for you to look now" Kia said in between shouts of laughter.
"Eh? Okay, but what are you laughing at, I… oh, poor Ayame. Why must you torture him like thins?" Tohru cooed.
"At least one person in this goddamn house appreciates me" Ayame said.
"Yeah, well Honda-chan would appreciate the devil, so don't take it as a compliment" Yuki said, leading Ayame out the door.
"Do you really expect me to go out in public with this on?" Ayame asked.
"Um, there is no way in hell that you're staying here" Kyo said. "At least not with Kia and Yuki here, unless it's your death wish."
"Wait a minute, I think that there might be something I have" Kia said, running to the roof.
"You think she's trying to help me?" Ayame asked
"No" everybody said. Ayame pouted.
"Here we are!" Kia said, coming back.
"Wow that was fast, you were only gone for a few seconds" Tohru said.
"What did you bring, I see nothing" Ayame said.
"Oh it's here. By the way, I heard that Kami was coming" Kia added.
"Really!" Ayame said, his face lighting up in a smile. At that exact moment, Kia took out a camera and snapped a picture of him (Hatori style).
"No, not really, but I couldn't resist" Kia said, laughing.
"You, you little, disgusting cat, its war, I mean it! I won't let you go; don't let your guard down! I will be back!" Ayame yelled, running from the house.
"Well at least he's gone" Shigure said.
"Who's Kami?" Tohru asked.
"She's the horse, and Ayame's little crush" Kia asked. "She hates his guts though, I wonder why?"
Shigure looked around. "Well it's cleanup time again" he sighed. Kyo and Tohru went to help him gather up all loose particles and pieces of the house strewn on the ground.
"Nice job, with the water, Kia, you did something I have wanted to do forever." Yuki said, grinning.
"What? Oh it was nothing, really." She answered.
"No, it was great, don't be so modest" Yuki said firmly.
"It wasn't, really, it was just something I was born with, nothing more" she said, "I probably could have done much better"
"You need to stop putting yourself down so much, Kia, you really are a much better person than you think you are" Yuki said.
Kia gave him a bright smile and he felt something strange course through him.
"Hey you two, are you going to help clean up or what?" Shigure yelled. They quickly walked towards Shigure and started to pick up the derbies.
"What's going on?" They both whispered to themselves.
