A/N: I don't normally only upload one thing, I like to wait until I have one chapter for each of my stories to update, but since it's been taking me forever to accomplish this, I decided to post one a little early, so that my readers :cough:kae-chan:cough:scifi-chan:cough: don't kill me...
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Furuba Invasion: Lemme hear ya say whoopsie-dasiy!
Zepuka stared aghast at the bunny that now sat in front of her, "Eh!"
"Hey, that's Tohru's line!" the bunny joyfully exclaimed, which made Zepuka scoot farther away, terrified at all the recent events.
"Wh-what the heck?" she asked, to which Tohru stuttered in reply, "Eh, er, um… Should I call Shigure-san?"
"That might be a good idea…" Kyo affirmed, strtuggling to capture the bunny that was now happily hopping around in circles.
"W-wh-what's going on?" the shocked Zepuka finally managed to ask, eyes wide as she followed the progress of the rabbit chase.
"Get back here, you stupid rabbit!" Kyo growled, quickly losing patience.
"He's not a stupid rabbit!" Zepuka called out in habbit, "He's just--! Just… um… Homo sapienly challenged!"
"What's a homo sapien?" Tohru asked innocently, momentarily distracted from watching Kyo's pursuit after the bouncing bunny.
"Oh, it's just the Latin name for a human." Zepuka replied, also distracted from her worries over what in the world had just occurred, other than the arrival of a magician's petting zoo.
"WILL YOU TWO STOP CHITCHATTING AND HELP ME CATCH THE STINKING RABBIT BEFOR--"
POOF!
"EEK!" Tohru cried, turning away as the smoke cleared, whereas Zepuka had fainted by now, due to all the excitement.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"Is she dead?" Momiji asked, still hyper.
"No, she's still breathing, you idiot." Kyo replied, smacking him upside the head.
"Wahhh! Kyo's so mean!" Momiji cried, turning to Tohru.
"Shhh, you must be quiet, you two." Tohru whispered, "Or else Hatori-san won't be able to do his work."
Obeying orders, the orange-headed boy and the german lad quieted down and watched as Hatori examined the passed out Puka.
"She should be just fine," Hatori announced, then turning to a man next to him whispered, "So has Akito decided what to do about this yet, Shigure?"
"Well, he's not happy, I know that much." Shigure responded, whispering as well.
Kyo's Thought Bubble:
What the heck are they whispering about? And how much longer do we have to stay at this stinking hotel! At this point we might as well not go to school… hey wait, isn't that a good thing?
"Well that's good!" Tohru exclaimed happily, unaware that Hatori had said anything past 'she should be fine'.
"As soon as she wakes up, she can have some of the soup I made for her!" Tohru said with a smile.
"You made… soup? When did you do that?" Shigure asked after a moment's silence, in which everyone else had been wondering the same thing. (Well, all except zepuka, that is, she was still out of it…)
"Oh, um, I just used the room's kitchen, and the vegetables that were in the fridge… AH! What if she gets upset that I used her vegetables? I didn't think of that!"
Smiling, Shigure stated, "I wouldn't worry about that, I'm sure she'll forgive you when she's eating the soup."
"Did you say something…. Food related?" a voice groaned from the bed.
"Ah, she awakes!" Shigure announced, smiling at the dazed Zepuka.
"AH! WHO ARE YOU! WHERE AM I! WHAT HAPPENED?" Zepuka started shouting, shocked and slightly scared as she remembered what had taken place a while ago.
"My goodness, she's worse than Ritchan-san!" Shigure laughed as Zepuka rambled on, then swift as a lion, poked her in the side with his multi-purpose paper fan.
"Hey! That hurt!"
"Whoops! My bad!" Shigure apologized with a smirk.
"Yea! You're better!" Momiji exclaimed, rushing over, causing Zepuka to try to back up in fear while still in the bed, falling off in the process.
"I got you some soup!" Tohru announced, returning from the kitchen where she had disappeared to and retrieved the meal.
"Hey, be quiet everyone!" Kyo yelled, getting agitated at all the rucuss.
The noise continued to progress as such, the pandemonium only adding to Zepuka's panicked state, when suddenly the phone ran, and all went quiet.
"Hey, Haa-chan, why don't you get it?" Shigure suggested, and Hatori did indeed pick up the receiver, and carried out a short conversation.
Hanging up, Hatori turned to the rest of the group, "That was Akito." He stated.
"…and the verdict?" Shigure prompted.
"He will allow her to know the family secret and befriend them, but only while she's here. When it's time for her to return to the states, her memories are to be surpressed. She'll remember nothing save that she befriended some people named the Sohmas, but nothing more."
"…what?" Zepuka asked, completely confused and overwhelmed now.
"Hmmm… why don't we take a moment to explain things, and then you can choose whether you want to have your memories surpressed now, or later."
"…huh? Um, ok…" Zepuka agreed, bewildered beyond compare.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"Wow. Just wow…" Zepuka said after the revelation of the Sohma family curse, "will someone please hurry up and say, 'Smile! You're on Candid Camera!'?"
"Um, it's all true…" Torhu assured her, "It really is, and you're the first to be allowed to know this since I was!" she exclaimed, truly happy about it, "Now we can all be friends!"
"erm… o…k? this is still all too unbelievable!"
"Well, do you want your memories surpressed?" shigure asked.
"You're serious? You can really do that?"
"No, I can't, that's Hatori's line of work!" Shigure said with a laugh.
"Um, if it's truly not a joke, then I'd prefer to keep my memories for now…" Zepuka decided after a moment's silence, then added, "Hey, that soup over there… anyone gonna finish it? I'm hungry."
"Oh no! go right ahead! It's yours!" Tohru exclaimed, then hurridly ran and retrieved it from the counter, but turned a little too fast and fell, spilling the soup everywhere.
"whoops! I'm so sorry! I'll make you some more right away!" Tohru exclaimed in horror, and without another word ran off to make another batch.
"Well there's no use stopping her now…" Kyo grumbled, and went off to help.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
A/N: well, now puka's in on the secret, so let the real adventures begin! …in the next chapter! Thanks for reading!
