"Talent night"
The end of the week arrived before anyone in the Sohma family house could realize and as a family tradition at the end of the summer holidays they house would hold a talent night. Last year was unforgettable when Shigure who was singing hit a really loud note that it made Kyo old Vein burst. It made him angry and throw something at Shigure and he fell on the feast which made the candles catch on the curtains and they were on fire. This year Shigure was going to do a poem, and Tohru was going to sing. Yuki and Kyo who don't like to join in decided to sit out and watch.
"I'm so pretty so witty and Gay" sang Shigure who had a paper lantern chain wrapped around his head and saying it was a tiara.
"You got that right" said Kyo listening to Shigure sing and trying not to snap.
"Your just Jelous" laughed Shigure who had just snuck into Tohrus room and returned with a strawberry slipper and he took it too his stash in the kitchen.
"Kyo have you seen Yuki" asked Tohru walking in from hanging out the washing. Kyo grunted and nodded his head.
"Yeah the damn rats been sulking at morning in his room" replied Kyo taking the basket of washing and putting in the laundry for Tohru.
"Thank you Kyo and may I say I noticed the way you look at Emmasian" smiled Tohru and turned to walk away.
Kyo froze and thought to himself for a moment and smiled and moved on.
Tohru who had just walked up stairs and knocked twice on Yuki door until he answered.
"Come in" Yuki said Quietly. Tohru preceeded in.
"Ah Yuki I think we need to talk" whispered Tohru and for a moment Yuki said nothing.
"What is it about?" asked Yuki as he laid on his bed and faced the window.
"Ah" began Tohru who was shocked at Yuki turning away from her. "Its about us" Tohru finished sighing.
Yuki sighed to and shook his head, "I knew this was coming" he said and Tohru was taken aback by this.
"Ah what do you mean?" Tohru asked.
"Nothing I think we they need me down stairs can we talk later" said Yuki now hoping of his bed and walking past Tohru and for the first time Tohru was sad because Yuki had never given her the cold shoulder.
Down stair there was a knock on the door and Shigure stopped dancing which was becoming his new hobby besides collecting Tohru things went to answer. He opened the door and smiled with glee to see Tohru's best friends Uo and Hana.
"Ahh welcome, nice to see high school girls, I mean pretty young girls I mean Tohru friends please come in" giggled Shigure who Kyo then saw check out Hana bum.
"Oh Tohru you didn't tell me there were going to be high school girls here I would have made myself look more beautiful" yelled Shigure up the stairs.
"That would be hard" laughed Kyo as Shigure through him a nasty look.
Tohru coming running down the stairs and smiled at Hana and Uo.
"Oh im sorry Shigure I thought I told you I hope you don't mind Ive had a lot of things on my mind I must of forgotten" said Tohru apologetically.
Shigure smiled "Don't be silly your high school girl I mean friends are always welcome" giggled Shigure showing Uo and Hana to the lounge room.
"Thanks for letting us stay" said Uo softely sitting on the couch.
"Don't be silly my pleasure really it is" laughed Shigure waving his hand.
"Ok I think we can start let the talent show begin" said Shigure as everyone was setting into the lounge room, Emmasian who had just sat next to Kyo made him blush which of course Tohru noticed and smiled.
The lounge room had been made into a stage room and with matching curtains, first up was Momiji who did a dancing to the nutt bush but couldn't stop laughing when it said Nut. Uo and Hana didn't a play which Uo ended up backing out as she was to tired, Kyo was going to say a joke but got angry at Shigure who kept winking at him and now it was Shigure turn.
"Hello everyone my names Shigure and you may know me by my book" started Shigure.
"Just get on with it" snapped Kyo.
"Oh hush Kyo your going to like this one it's got you in it" smiled Shigure as Kyo frowned and Yuki reframed him from leaving the room.
"This is a poem called 'My love for Kyo' and it goes a little something like this" said Shigure as Tohru smiled.
"Oh how sweet" said Tohru and Emmasian laughed and looked at Kyo.
"This should be good" laughed Emmasian nudging Kyo in the stomach which made him blush and suddenly stop being angry.
"There once a boy named Kyo,
and no he didn't own a Rio,
Kyo was a frightened little boy to show his feelings,
Until I came along and tried to offer healing,
But oh no Kyo would never let me,
But if he would look into my eyes and see,
That nothing not even your ugly purple vein,
Will stop this pain,
From your beautiful smile to your lovely chin,
Your Red colored hair and your cologne that smells like gin,
The way your hair moves in the summer breeze,
The way I save your tissue after every sneeze,
When you say Shigure it makes my heart melt,
Just like that strawberry towel which I have smelt,
You're the sunlight in my life and what I wake up for,
Even if you annoy me when you snore,
I love it when we fight,
And if we slept in the same bed you would keep me up all night,
Please don't fight it you know its true,
That Kyo you're a poo" Laughed Shigure and Kyo who vein was as bright as ever almost jumped on Shigure who giggled and went up to Kyo vein and started patting it.
"Oh hush now baby vein its ok gooogogaaga" laughed Shigure talking to Kyo vein in a baby voice and Kyo grabbed him and hit a pan which mysterious popped out of no where.
"Your turned now Tohru" smiled Emmasian clapping Tohru as she got up on the stage.
Tohru was nervous and she was sweating and she looked at Yuki who wouldn't look up at her and she knew she had to do it.
"Um this is a song called 100 words it has special meaning to me and the person that its about" smiled Tohru as everyone clapped and Tohru stood at the microphone.
" I know that you're hiding things
Using gentle words to shelter me
Your words were like a dream
But dreams could never fool me
Not that easily
I acted so distant then
Didn't say goodbye before you left
But I was listening
You'll fight your battles far from me
Far too easily
"Save your tears cause I'll come back"
I could hear that you whispered as you walked through that door
But still I swore
To hide the pain when I turn back the pages
Shouting might have been the answer
What if I'd cried my eyes out and begged you not to depart
But now I'm not afraid to say what's in my heart
Though a thousand words
Call out through the ages
They'll fly to you
Even though I can't see I know there reaching you
Suspended on silver wings
And a thousand words
A thousand embraces
Will cradle you
Making all of your wherry days seem far away
They'll hold you forever
The dream isn't over yet
Though I often say I can't forget
I still relive that day
"You've been there with me all the way"
I still hear you say
"Wait for me I'll write you letters"
I could see how you stammered with your eyes to the floor
But still I swore to hide the doubt
When I turn back the pages
Anger might have been the answer
What if I'd hung my head and said that I couldn't wait
But now I'm strong enough to know it's not too late
Oh a thousand words
Have never been spoken
They'll fly to you
They'll carry you home and back into my arms
Suspended on silver wings ohhh
And a thousand words
Call out through the ages
They'll cradle you
Turning all of the lonely years to only days
They'll hold you forever" sang Tohru in the most beautiful voice you have ever heard.
Shigure was crying and wiping his tears on Hana's skirt, Emmasian and Momiji were crying also Kyo who looked like he was crying quickly wiped his eyes and Emmasian saw him cry but knew he would never admit it, but Yuki who looked like he was on the verge of Crying got up from his chair and left the room and everyone looked from Yuki to Tohru who sighed and a single glistening tear fell from her face.
