Back again and revving up my typing hands. This one isn't so good except it is a little talkier.

Chapter Three: Getting There is Half the Fun
For the ride to the cabin they were staying at they rented a big van and a driver seeing as Hatori's car was "too small", he had to make up a quick excuse because he actually had to keep an eye on Shigure who had, he said hinting, Hatori said threatened, to see if he could come, much to the dismay of Mii who only stalked around the writer's house, trying to find a way to kill herself, seeing as Shigure had Mii-proofed the house.
"But Ha'ri, I was only having a bit of fun with her", Shigure said trying to sound as innocent as possible, he had as much chance of fooling his cousin as winning a snowball fight in hell.
"Yes well, leaving her a note saying you'd be over in the park, was very thoughtful but having the "code words" be 'Has anyone seen my pet moose?' and having her yell it at a crepe vendor, on top of the crepe vendor's cart, and while swinging from monkey bars, is a whole different matter.", stated Hatori knowing his cousin had taken pictures of all the things his poor editor had to do.
"Yes, well author-editor secrecy you know, very big now!", Shigure said matter-of-factly, "imagine what would happen if word got out of my next book!"
"No one would care." Hatori said reading his own book; he refused to read the fluff that was in Shighure's.
"Ha'ri, your so dull", whined Shigure sounding like Momiji, he loved whining to his cousin, because he'd always get told off or something and then he could annoy him, repeating the unending cycle Shigure had grown to perfect.
After many minutes of whining Shigure and silent Hatori finally said something, "The only reason you want to go up to the cabin, is to stir up trouble for them."
"So what if I am?" said Shigure, now, suddenly, quite serious.
"If you do decide to go up, don't stir up too much…" and with that Hatori left his mischievous cousin to scheme.
"High school girls, high school girls! One, two, three, high school girls!" Shigure sang, absolutely delighted to have Ha'ri's consent, not that he ever really needed it.
"WAIT HA'RI!" Shigure yelled and Hatori turned around, "I MIGHT NEED A RIDE", he sang cheerfully.
Hatori turned around and walked away, his head hung down, he had just agreed to spend 5 hours in the car with Shigure and as many Sohmas as he could get his hands on, he heard the dog's footsteps run away excitedly. The idiot was going to send an invitation to every Juunishi member he could find.
Kyo tried to wedge himself as far in the corner of the seat as possible, he didn't want to get Yuki's girly man germs.
"Well I certainly wouldn't want to risk getting your stupidity on me, it might be contagious" Yuki retorted.
"So what if I'm stupid, it's better than looking good in pink!" yelled Kyo, who most definitely didn't look good in pink, his hair clashed.
"Oh Kyo, Is ignorance really bliss?"
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Oh, nothing, nothing…"
"Okay, fine" Kyo said thinking this ended the matter mostly because he didn't know what to say.
Yuki and Kyo had to share the backseat and didn't at all love there…closeness. Tohru, Uo, and Hana, who shared the back backseat, were however leaning against one another.
"What the hell, woman?" Kyo shouted shouted at Uo, who was picking at his hair observing every piece as if they were the Rosetta Stone of hair.
"You know what Orangey? I could swear this was your natural color…"
"How many times have I told you? It is natural!", Kyo shouted making the driver swerve left to avoid hitting a deer that was scared out of the woods by the shouts emanating from the car, who's windows, were rolled down.
"You think I listen? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA…HA…ha… We only ever hang out with you because your fun to mess with and we're here to protect our little Tohru, to bad for us, you grew on us." Uo stated wrapping Tohru in bear hug, Tohru spluttered for air.
"Uh, Uo calm down…she can't breathe…" Hana stated nervously trying to pry a friend off a friend, for she was quite riht Tohru was being somewhat suffocated, somewhat crumpled by Uo tight hold.
"Stop you idiot Yankee!", Kyo yelled, immensely over-worried. He clawed at Uo's jacket seeing as he had stretch over the back of his seat to get her.
"Awful worried aren't we?" Yuki, Uo, and Hana chimed in unison. Just as Uo released Tohru she blushed in unison with Kyo and looked at her seat just trying to focus on breathing and not Kyo's stuttering.
"Yes, well-No-It's just-I-Oh Hell!"
The rest of the way there Kyo sulked in his corner of the seat while Uo, Yuki, and Hana eyed him suspiciously, occasionally Uo would disbelieving look at his hair, while Tohru rested her head on Uo's shoulder, although dreaming it was somebody else's.
Uo got out and looked at the giant castle they had finally stopped at, it was surrounded by gardens and she saw a big lake in the distance and hiking trails wound around the bumpy terrain.
"I thought we were going to the Sohma Cabin!", Uo shouted, liking the sound of the echo she heard.
"Yes, and…….." Yuki said not seeing the point of her little outburst.
"Well we're, like, at a resort aren't we?" said Uo hoping she wouldn't have to lug all her stuff up a trail, and trying not to think about Tohru.
Mental Image: Tohru walking into tree, Tohru walking into bush, Tohru talking to squirrel, Tohru falling in lake, Tohru causing some sort of avalanche of snow on a hike, Tohru causing mud slide (don't know where I get this stuff from), Tohru falling to her doom, Tohru falling over due to wanting to carry everyone's luggage, Tohru talking to flower, Tohru finding panda, Tohru running away from panda, (the list goes on and on)……..etc aka Tohru + hike of any kind (whether it luggage carrying or enjoyment) bad things to come.
"No, this is the cabin." grumbled Kyo, still sulking.
"WHEN DID YOU GUYS GET RICH, I MEAN COME ON, YOU TWO", she pointed at Kyo and Yuki who both began backing away slowly, "HAVE TO LIVE WITH THAT WRITER GUY AND ALL HE DOES IS MAKE THOSE PERVERTED BOOKS, SO HOW DO YOU HAVE SO MUCH MONEY!"
Kyo and Yuki, now watching the hysterical teen go nuts because they were rich, decided it was a good time to help Tohru and Hana get their bags inside as Uo shouted, "HEY! DON'T YOU WALK AWAY FROM ME GIRLY MAN AND THE CARROT TOPPED CRUSADER, GET BACK HERE!"
And so there the story ends. REVIEW? REVIEW!
