And I'm baaaaack! Heh heh isn't this ironic…I say in the last chapter weekly and well look at the time this one is coming out. Sorry for the long wait, I'm really busy and last weekend I had way too much planned. Anyway I'm hoping to put up a new chapter this weekend and also I'm thinking a Hatori x Tohru fic, me likes that couple, I don't know, I need something to vent my creative genius on…
Chapter 10: Pink Is Only A Light Shade Of Fuchsia
"So what your saying is--", Shigure began. He had just listened to a nervous Tohru and disgruntle Kyo tell a long story about how they were, in Ayame's words, "discovering their romantic sides".
"--you're saying that you two have been seeing a bit much of each other over the summer", Shigure said in a rather business-like tone.
Kyo nodded half-heartedly waiting for the shouts blaming him for all the trouble over their little cabin visit. Tohru on the other nodded sheepishly, she was ashamed of keeping something from the people who had given her a home, how could she do this to the people that had cared for her and so willingly gave up things they loved.
"Okay!" Shigure shouted in his ever obnoxious sing-song voice, he was happy they finally got together! He had been waiting for this! Things wouldn't be as tense now, all those days spent in a luxurious hot bath and beneath him were too teens glaring at each other willing each other to do one thing wrong, one mistake and they would be toast, he could feel the unhappy face stickers stamp all over his house, his house was like a billboard for disgruntle house guests, how he suffered so! Not a decent happy bath where he could read and take a bath at the same time. So many soggy books fell into the depths of the bubble bath after some particularly heated battles in his living room.
"Wait you can't be serious! Your not going to go all 'I forbid you!'!" Kyo shouted. It wasn't that he wasn't happy that he and Tohru could be together and be open with their relationship; it was that this was way too easy.
"Of course my wittle Kyo, but do you want me to go all 'I forbid you!' because if you do, I'd gladly take dear Tohru and comfort her", Shigure said, awaiting the punch that would forever show for his "indecent and vulgar" behavior, he was just being friendly, really friendly. The punch never came.
"Kyo! Did you forget already? The way this works is that when I say something vulgar you give me a nice punch to the head!" Shigure slapped his head with a rolled up newspaper, to make his point.
"Yeah well—", Kyo was cut off by duct tape. Shigure slapped it across his mouth and curled Kyo's hand into a fist and hit the owner of the fist with that fist, lightly but enough to make the owner of that fist angry enough to bop Shigure in the head.
"Good job Kyo, we're starting to understand, yes?"
There was no answer, only the blatant reply of the two people most talked about in this story walking away.
"There so grown up…" Shigure sniffled.
"So, um—", Kyo started but was cut off by the girl beside him hugging his oh so handsome kittyness.
"Oh, Kyo isn't it wonderful! We can hug now! I feel so much better when I'm in your arms, I feel so warm and—", but at this point she was cut off by Kyo's passionate kiss. He smashed his lips against hers and she immediately responded. He rubbed his tongue against her eager lips and she accepted his offer. She pulled his head closer, raking her fingers through his hair, at this Kyo purred, the soft purring immediately made Tohru giggle against Kyo's mouth. He smirked in satisfaction at making her laugh and realized this, "hugging" thing, well…he could most definitely get used to it.
"Uh, Tohru…" a voice said from behind the couple.
Kyo and Tohru quickly separated and looked sheepishly, or, rather, Tohru looked sheepishly, Kyo glared at the intruder (Author Interlude: He had set a moment people!).
Yuki looked back at them, obviously quite flustered (Author Interlude: Wow Yuki flustered, never thought in this age and time he would be flustered…), he had seen them making out! His life would be cut back by a few years, his mind was now tainted!
Okay, Yuki! You only saw them…making out…it's not that ba—what the hell am I saying! BAD IMAGE! ERASE! ERASE!
"Is there a reason you interrupted…" Kyo said through gritted teeth. It was taking all his power to not shout and curse the whole damn world (Author Interlude: Mostly the existence of Yuki, but also the whole damn world! Ha ha!).
"Oh, well I just wanted to apologize for forcing myself onto you Miss Honda and—"
Kyo slapped his head.
BAD IMAGE! ERASE! ERASE! I can't believe he said that…my-my young mind, it'll be tainted forever!
"—I'm sorry Kyo" Yuki said rather stiffly, "I took her away from you even though it was quite clear she was" Yuki gulped, "attracted to you…"
"You're damn right your—", Tohru put a hand over the perpetrator-of-the-tranquil-forgiving-moment's mouth, which most definitely shushed him.
"No, no Yuki its okay, there's nothing to forgive!" Tohru hurriedly said and gave him a cheerful gleaming smile. She meant every word she said and she led Kyo down the hall.
"You know, you really should be more assertive", (Author Interlude: Ha! Like he's one to talk!) Kyo said as he snaked his arm around Tohru's waist and brought her closer to him.
"Oh, I'll be assertive…" she purred and sidestepped, pulling Kyo with her, in front of her bedroom door. He pushed it open as Tohru began pushing him, grinning mischievously; she pushed him to the foot of her bed and lightly poked him in the chest making him fall back in surprise. She slowly started to trace the muscles on his chest, making him shiver.
"Hem…" Tohru looked up from Kyo's chest and gasped, officially embarrassed. For standing in the door way were her two best friends, not as shocked as much as smug.
"So, I guess the crazy pedophile is right. Mind filling us in?"
"YOU'VE BEEN DOING WHAT!"
Uo's voice rang throughout the cabin.
"YOU WENT BEHIND OUR BACKS AND DID... WHATEVER YOU…DID!" Uo's hands were tightly clenched and she was standing on top of the dining room table, waving a much abused pouf that had seen better days. Tohru was hiding behind Hana, while Kyo was on top of the table waving a toothbrush, the kind with the squishy handle and little lizards imprinted on it. Most disgusting thing about it: It was PINK!
"Will you stop waving that damn pillow around? Your gonna take someone's eye out!" Kyo yelled from his end of the table, he was prepared to fight…with a toothbrush (Author Interlude: What is this world coming to when fellow humans fight with toothbrushes!).
"Oh, yeah Sissy Boy? If any eye is taken out, it'll be yours! Look at you, you orange haired bastard! Your fighting me with your god damn toothbrush, not only is it covered with you idiot germs, its pink! GOD DAMN PINK! I SHALL NOT BE BEATEN UP BY A GUY WHO CRAMS FOR A TEST AND CRAMS ON THE WRONG SUBJECT! ARISA UOTANI SHALL NOT BEATEN BY A MAN WHO OWNS AN EXTRA SOFT, PINKFRICKIN' TOOTHBRUSH! TOUSCHE!" Uo waved around her pillow and lunged at the unsuspecting, un-cat-like, Kyo who jumped on the small chandelier over head.
"IT'S NOT PINK! IT'S A VERY LIGHT SHADE OF FUSCHIA AND IT ISN'T MINE! I SAW IT ON THE GROUND SO I USE IT AS PROTECTION FROM YOUR LITTLE TANTRUM!" Kyo swung off the chandelier and landed on his feet, apparently some of his cat-like physique was still in tact. He made a rather poor attempt to lunge with his weapon of choice and Uo got a nice bash to Kyo's head with her pouf, which was coming apart at the seams and stuffing was collecting like giant chunks of dandruff in his hair.
"Arisa, you can stop ranting and fighting with the Orange Haired Wonder Boy, we already discussed this; we decided that they were probably doing this anyway." Hana said as calm as ever, although still mildly zapping Kyo for touching Tohru behind their backs.
"WHAT!" bellowed Uo and Kyo together.
"You-you kn-knew?" stuttered Tohru finally surfacing from the defense which Hana held in place.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN "STOP FIGHTING"!"
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU ALREADY KNEW!"
"What do you mean you didn't know we already knew?" Hana said calmly, and indifferently, confusing the others long enough to stop the war between the Abused Pouf and The Practically Pink But Actually A Very Light Shade Of Fuchsia Toothbrush.
