Disclaimer :I don't own FURUBA….though, you guys are probably glad I don't. FURUBA would be much more comical and more sappy than it already is. Oh, and Hatori/Tohru or Shigure/Tohru or Haru/Tohru would be the pairing….though you still have no idea from the manga itself what it's going to be. But..er, yeah, I don't own anything….please don't sue me.

A/N : So…..as my internet is down at the moment, I may be uploading two chapters at once, which would be a nice change, I suppose. Again, a reminder that this is a shorter story than I usually plan for, so it'll have less chapters, as well as having shorter chapters, unless I get really carried away, at which point I need one of you to smack me in the head to tell me to get back on track. On with the show!

Not Your Typical Sleepover, Is It?

Hatori stood waiting in the doorway, waiting for Shigure to return with some clothes and for Tohru to return with a towel. Shigure was still singing his head off as he was in his room searching, and Hatori tried to remember what had caused him to stay…oh wait, he remembered. Tohru had convinced him to stay, though he had stayed only because she had been disturbed. Otherwise, Hatori would have insisted that he would have been fine and left without any further ado.

"Here, Hatori-sama….er, where are you?" Tohru's voice floated down the stairs.

"Down here, Honda-san," Hatori called, fishing in his pocket and pulling out a mini-light. He shined it in her direction, causing Tohru to blink in the light.

"Oh, I'm coming down with the towel. Sohma-kun? Can you get some candles or flashlights?" Tohru called as she stepped gingerly down the steps and towards Hatori. When she reached him she handed him the towel, which he took and rubbed his hair.

"Thank you, Honda-san. I really apprecia-" Hatori was interrupted.

"I HAVE YOUR CLOTHES, HA-SAN!" Shigure cried happily as his dark figure appeared the hallway.

"Thank you, Shigure. Now shut up." Hatori sighed, annoyed.

"Ha-san is mean," Shigure whined.

"No, I'm not. You're just, arh, never mind." Hatori took the clothes from Shigure and went into the bathroom using his mini-light to guide him. He emerged dry and warm several minutes later, holding his sopping clothes in one hand. "Tohru, can I put these in the dryer?"

"Sure…er, Sohma-kun, did you get those…AH!" Tohru exclamation was followed by several "poofing" sounds. "I'M SO SORRY!"

"It's okay," rang from two animals, albeit tiredly. (A/N: Kyo's still upstairs sleeping)

"Honda-san? It's okay, I'll just put them in the laundry room here. We can wash them later." Hatori walked into the laundry room and came out to join the four in the living room.

"So…what do we do?" Yuki asked.

"WE'LL HAVE A SLEEPOVER!" Shigure cried happily.

"Honestly, where does that dog get all his energy?" Hatori muttered to himself.

"Ano…a sleepover?" Tohru asked, somewhat doubtfully.

"YES! It'll be so much fun!" Shigure pranced around happily.

"Shut up, Shigure," Hatori said, rubbing his head in pain.

Shigure grinned maniacally, though no one could really see it in the dark. "Ha-san?"

"What?" Hatori said, turning towards the sound of Shigure's voice.

"Never mind!" Shigure said happily. "My little flower, we will have so much fun with Hatori here; won't we?"

"Yes!" Tohru pumped her arm in the air, her old spirit of oblivious happiness returning.

Shigure smiled, his plan was working perfectly! It was already proved that Hatori couldn't resist Tohru, so all Shigure had to do now was to convince Hatori of that fact. And, the way Shigure saw it, if Hatori didn't get Tohru, Shigure would. The younger boys weren't even in the picture, as Yuki saw Tohru as more of a sister and Kyo was never going to admit to himself that he actually liked Tohru.

"Shigure?" Hatori asked.

"Yes, Ha-san?" Shigure answered sweetly.

"I don't know what you do at these 'sleepovers' as you call it, but I need to get some sleep as I have work tomorrow. Though, with this weather I won't be able to get back," Hatori muttered the last sentence, but Shigure heard it anyway.

"Oh! I'll get some sleeping bags so we can all sleep in the living room, that way it'll be more fun! At least, that's what Uo and Hana do when we have a sleepover…" Tohru trailed off, unsure.

"That would be great, Tohru. Thank you." Hatori's voice was gentle. He felt his way to the couch and sat down, closing his eyes. When he heard Tohru's footsteps approach he sat up, waiting for her.

Tohru came down the stairs, holding the flashlight in front of her to shine the way. When she reached the living room where the three men were waiting she flashed the light around the room, trying to locate them. Standing by the television was Yuki, yawning. Shigure was next to the coffee table, sitting down. Hatori was sitting on the couch, looking at her expectantly. She faltered and kept the light on him a second longer than the other two before shining the light on the sleeping bags. Hatori had looked so disheveled, with his hair going every which way because of the rain, and because of Shigure's too big yukata. Secretly, Tohru thought that Hatori looked really handsome like that, but she would never tell anyone.

"Here you go," Tohru threw a sleeping bag at each of the men. She lay hers down at one side of the coffee table and crawled in.

Shigure grinned and started to place his next to Tohru when Yuki spoke.

"Shigure. If you go as far as to sleep next to Tohru, never mind what you would or wouldn't do, I will make sure that your death looks like an accident." Yuki's voice was deadly.

"What? What would I ever do?" Shigure put his hands up innocently.

"Move, Shigure. I agree with Yuki." Hatori appeared next to Shigure and pushed him aside.

"Humph! That's just because you two want to be next to my little flower," Shigure pouted.

"No. It's because you're a pervert," Yuki said, laying his sleeping bag next to Tohru's, but placing a couch cushion between them to make a barrier. He wouldn't want to get squished by accident in the middle of the night. Hatori did the same. Shigure ended up on the other side of Yuki.

After they were all in their sleeping bags, an awkward silence started to creep in. Every shift in position from anyone of them seemed to make a thunderous sound. When nobody spoke, they started to fall asleep, one by one. Suddenly, a crash of thunder shook the house again.

"EEK!" Tohru shrieked, grabbing onto the nearest person for safety.

Fortunately for Hatori, she had only grabbed his shoulders, and had not embraced him enough for him to transform.

"Miss Honda! Are you okay?" Yuki asked, worried.

"Yes….I think." Tohru replied shakily. She had never like storms.

"Honda-san?" Hatori asked mildly.

"Yes, Hatori-sama?" Tohru replied.

"Do you think you could, er…" Hatori trailed off.

"Oh! Sorry!" Tohru said quickly, removing her tight hold on Hatori. She blushed.

"That's okay. Good night, Honda-san, Yuki…Shigure." Hatori rolled over, his back facing Tohru. He soon fell asleep.

"Psssst! Ha-san!" Shigure's voice impeded on Hatori's rest.

"What?" Hatori's voice was deadly.

"Er, never mind. Go back to sleep." Shigure rolled over, grinning that he had succeeded in annoying the doctor.

Yuki smacked Shigure in the stomach, knocking the wind out of Shigure.

"ACK!" Shigure yelped, trying to catch his breath.

"Shut up and go to sleep, Shigure." Yuki's voice was muffled by his pillow.

The rest of the night was peaceful, well, except for one episode between Yuki and Shigure.

"Pst! Yuki!"

"What do you want?"

"I can't sleep."

"What do you want me to do about it?"

"Let's play a game!"

"No. Just close your eyes and count sheep."

"Yuki has a dirty mind….he wants me to think about young Hiro-kun at night!"

Yuki promised himself to maim Shigure later.

"Hey, Yuki."

"What?"

"Counting sheep isn't working."

"Then just count."

"One, two, three, four…"

"Shigure…"

"Five, six, seven, eight, nine…"

"Shigure…"

"Ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen…"

"SHIGURE!" Hatori's voice boomed through the house.

Shigure froze, mildly frightened; Hatori was scary when he was awake, but he was scarier than Yuki when he was half-awake.

"Yes?" Shigure answered timidly.

"SHUT UP AND SLEEP!" Hatori stated forcefully.

"Okay…" Shigure was not heard from the rest of the night.

"Thank you, Hatori-san." Yuki murmured before falling back asleep.

A/N:

Okay, so you guys can smack me if you want, but this chapter is done. There really isn't much plot in really think of anything….any ideas are welcome. Okay…so one of you said that I was misspelling "Ha-san" and that it was "Haa-san." To be honest, I've seen it as both, and the two As simply is not as astheticly pleasing to my eyes as the single A. So, thank you so much for your input, and I'll try to get another one out there sometime….no promises though, except that this story is still going on. Leave me a review before you go!
