I'm back (dun dun DUN!) Oh, and I don't own Fruits Basket…If I did:

1-My name would be Natsuki Takaya

2-This would not be a fanfic

3-I would actually be able to draw…(cries)

4-I would live in Japan

5-I would be rich

6-Hatori would not be straight ('Tori/Aaya pairing all the way, baby!)

7-Yuki, Kyo, and Haru would be a threesome

8-Tohru would be going out with Kagura (I have my reasons…)

9-Shigure would be paired with Akito

10-There would be a lot more yaoi and yuri!

11-HarryDracoYaoi! (…inside joke, don't ask)

So…. enough daydreaming! (Goes back to day-dreaming…mmmm…yaoi…yuri… whips and chains and leather, oh, my…) ONWARD!

This chapter has a bit of a Haru/Yuki pairing in it…No likey, no read(y?)…Oh, and a magical, color-changing Yuki Souma! Woot!

Revenge is Sweet!

When Hatori and Ayame woke up the next morning, Shigure had already left. When Hatori realized what had happened, he began cursing mildly underneath his breath.

"Baka inu…When he gets back here, I'm gonna wring his friggin neck!"

"Um, Tori-san? I may have a plot for revenge… I-if you'd listen to me, that is." Ayame was getting nervous, seeing his longtime friend in the angered state he was in.

Hatori looked up at the snake. "What is it, Ayame?" He inquired kindly, calming Ayame down.

"Well…"Ayame began to fidget, and told Hatori his evil plot for revenge on the inu.

"That is just crazy enough to work…"

Hatori called the main house and asked for Hatsuharu. When Haru answered the phone, Hatori filled him in on the plot. "OK, I'll just grab Yuki and head over there. This'll give us a chance to get away. Arigato, Hatori-san!"

"Not a problem, Haru, just get over here as soon as you can." Hatori hung up and turned to Ayame. "Phase one, complete." Ayame smiled and awaited the arrival of his younger brother and his boyfriend.

Yuki and Haru showed up a few minutes later. "Yuki!" Ayame cried, pulling his brother into a bone-crushing hug. "How lovely to see you, younger brother!"

"Nii-san? Can you please get off of me?" Yuki was beginning to turn purple from lack of oxygen.

"Ayame, let the poor boy go, he's changing color." Aaya promptly let the poor rat go. "Now, do you two understand what to do?"

"Hai, Hatori, we need to make it so that Shigure thinks you two are in here having the time of your lives, while he is locked out. Then you two will sneak up behind him, give the secret signal, and we will help you tie him up inside the house. Is that all?" Yuki rattled off the directions he and Hatsuharu had been given verbatim.

"Yes, that is it. We'll see you guys soon. Have fun!" Haru smirked evilly at Ayame's last comment.

"Don't worry, Aaya-kun, we will." With that, Hatori and Ayame left, leaving yuki and Haru to their own devices. Haru locked all the doors and windows. "So, Yuki, are we ready to have fun?"

Yuki donned an evil smirk that could scare the devil. "Yes, Haru-koi, I believe we are!"
