Disclaimer: I don't own Fruits Basket... Can't you tell? It actually has a storyline! Something I seem to be incapable of producing...

Author's Note: I was planning on actually giving this a storyline, but that would make it too normal! And I can't keep with a storyline anyway, so I decide against it... I really didn't mean to change the title name, I did it before I realized that this wasn't supposed to have a plot at all... Sorry! ; Since I remember now, I can write the next one! YAY

As usual-

"yo" is saying "yo"

'yo' is thinking "yo"

/yo/ means that the setting is now "yo" (that made no sense...)

Chapter 2- Weekend Madness

'Ayame called... Not good.', thought Hatori. He knew for a fact that when Ayame called, he was up to something. He knew that they'd drag him into the whole mess somehow, but he'd figured he would have at least a day's peace before either of them actually hunted him down to tell him. He didn't know how wrong he was.

Exactly 37 minutes after Ayame called, there was a knock on Hatori's office door. 'Come in', he said, wondering who would be visiting him in the middle of a Friday afternoon... He had no appointments later than noon on Fridays so that he could finish all of his paperwork. The door was noisily flung open, and Ayame walked through. Hatori internally groaned and just barely stopped himself from slamming his head against his desk in hopes that Ayame would leave if he was unconscious.

"'Tori-san! Oh, I've missed you so much! You have to come with 'Gure and I on our trip this weekend!", Ayame all but sang as he walked in. "Ayame, I can't. Now please, leave me to my work.", Hatori said, uninterested. "But you haven't even heard what we're doing!",Ayame whined. "Akito is sick. He just came down with a cold, and I can't leave him here alone over the weekend. I'm sorry."Hatori said, even though he couldn't care less about the trip. He was always being dragged along on trips, and he had never had any fun during the other ones. 'Why would this one be any different than the other disasters?', Hatori thought. "Please! It'll be fun, I promise!",Ayame said as Hatori continued to shake his head 'no',"PLEASE! It won't be any fun without you!". "I can't. I have to take care of Akito. I'm sorry.",Hatori said without any emotion. "Then you have to promise that next time we go on a trip, you'll come along!", said Ayame, who still had hope. "Fine.", said Hatori. "No matter what it is!", Ayame said. "No matter what it is.", agreed Hatori. With that, Ayame walked out of the office, smiling.

It was Saturday evening, and since Akito was feeling much better, and Kyo was still healing from his fight with Kagura a few weeks before, he was over at Shigure's house looking over Kyo's wounds. They had mostly healed, and none of them seemed infected, so he was on his way out the door. The phone rang, and since Yuki was in his room, Kyo was bedridden- well, couch-ridden, because they had moved him downstairs so he didn't have to stare at the same ceiling all day, and Tohru was taking a bath, he was the only one able to answer the phone.

"Hello?", said Hatori into the phone. "Hey, Hatori!",Ayame's voice blared from the other end of the phone. Hatori cringed and held it a bit away from his ear, wanting to make it through the week with his hearing intact. "Wait, why are you there?", Ayame continued,"You said Akito needed to be watched over! Liar! Anyway, I.. wanted to talk to you about something... see, we're up a creek-" "With no paddle?",Hatori finished, cutting Ayame off,"What went wrong this time?",Hatori finished with a sigh. "Well, no, you see-" Ayame tried to continue but Hatori cut him off again, "You'll have to handle this yourselves. I'm not going anywhere.", said Hatori. "But Hatori, you see, we have a paddle, it's just very small and full of holes...",Ayame finally finished his sentence. There was silence on both ends of the line. "What do you mean, 'we have a paddle, it's just small and full of holes'!", Hatori demanded into the phone. "We decided to go canoeing, but we didn't have any paddles. We went looking for some, and there were these paddles in Shigure's kitchen for some reason. But we can't move very fast, and we're stranded! Please, come save us!", whined Ayame.

Ayame and Shigure finally got home well after dark. The only reason that they were home and not in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by water is because they both decided to swim back to where their car was. When they got to Shigure's house, they were dripping wet and shivering. Hatori was still there for some unknown reason, sitting by Kyo and reading a book. When he saw the two dripping wet men, he greeted them with a 'Well, you're back early' and continued reading. The two glared at him while grabbing towels, which they used to wrap themselves in before sitting down near Hatori.

Hatori ended up getting whined at by Ayame and Shigure, which he thought might have been worse than just going along in the first place. 'So much for my hearing being intact...', he thought with a sigh. As he was about to go out the door, Kyo called him over as best as he could without opening any of his cuts, which wasn't easy. It ended up sounding something like a muffled 'Eyh! Ahdoyee!', but luckily, Hatori understood. He walked over to where Kyo lay, kneeling next to the couch. Kyo was able to move his left pointer finger enough to motion a 'come closer' without much trouble. Hatori bent over Kyo, his ear near Kyo's mouth, waiting for Kyo to say something. He heard a muffled sentence that sounded something like "Ahdoldenutadekasadwaz". "What?", Hatori asked, not being able to decipher Kyo's words. Kyo put a lot of effort into being understandable, and was able to speak very clearly for someone in his condition. Kyo's reply was a simple, "I told them not to take the spatulas..."

!# CHAPTER END #!

YAY! I had a review! YAY! (I'm still not used to getting reviews...)

Spite414: THANKSES FOR THE REVIEW! It makes me so happy to know that someone read the last chapter... And I guess I will continue it, since there's at least one person watching for it! ;-D

If anyone needs anything explained, just review or email me and I'll fix the fic so that it's not so confusing!
