Last time…

Tohru took a breath before saying, "I've got something to tell you, Yuki-kun,"

Chapter 7 – Matchmaking

Tohru's heartbeat was beating fast and hard against her chest. It nearly hurt with all the mixed feelings she kept inside. Her heart was thumping faster and harder as she continued to look at Yuki. Finally, she looked away, a blush spread across her face. She doesn't want to admit it, but he looked cute when he's confused. She opened her mouth. "I've got something to tell you, Yuki-kun."

Shoot. She used his first name. That'll be a good sign for him, for forgiveness and love. But bad sign for herself, she might lose her reputation, attitude and coolness; the attitudes that grew on her for the past years.

"What is it, Honda-san?" he asked, looking away from, not wanting to face her, after what he said. She might reject him. But he froze in thought, 'Did she say my first name?' He quickly looked back at her, surprise and confusion at the same time. When he looked at her, she blushed again at the eye contact and she looked away.

"Um…well…" Tohru stuttered, looking at the ground with her hands clasped in front of her. "It's just…..uh…."

"Hmm?" he asked and waited, his own heart rapidly beating fast.

"I….um…kinda…."

"Spit it out!" Kiara whispered harshly, looking below her and watched the scene. Rin covered her mouth, "Not that loud!" She said, also watching the scene with anticipation.

"They're so shy," Kiara said excitedly. But as she watched Tohru fidgeting with her hands and stuttering while Yuki was watched her with a blush, she had enough. "That's it!" She jumped down the tree and stomped towards them.

The two shy couple looked at her in surprise. "Tohru!" Kiara screamed. "You are too shy! For goodness sakes, how hard is it?" She turned to Yuki, "And you, Mr. I-love-you-but-not-wanting-to-make-any-moves! If she is in this state, you should now what to do! YOU should make the moves on her, boy!"

Both blushed like crazy, after hearing what Kiara said. Rin and Kisa sweatdropped and shook their heads. Kiara winked at them, a sly grin was seen on their face. They both jumped down the tree and went behind Yuki while Kiara went behind Tohru. Both gave a signal to each other and pushed the two together.

Tohru was force to collide with Yuki as her head met in contact with Yuki's chest. While her arms her resting in his chest as well. His arms were around her and slowly snaked around her waist. He rested his forehead on Tohru's forehead as they looked at each other. He smiled.

"See? I'm the best matchmaker around," Kiara whispered to Rin, not wanting to ruin the moment.

"You're right. But how can you match make them if they are against each other? Correction, we are against HIS family?" Rin said sharply, letting Kiara loose her pride.

"Oh great. Then um…." She trailed off, "Oh! How about we try to match make them secretly. Of course, only when his family isn't around."

"I thought you were dumb," Rin said, "But you actually are pretty smart. Kisa, no wonder why you stuck with them, ne?" Kisa nodded with a bright smile.

"But that Yuki should keep his mouth shut about this," Kiara said dangerously.

"True. Let's just hope Akito doesn't know anything about this," Rin said seriously, the same expression as Kiara. Kisa became worried but narrowed her eyes at the name.

"Look how cute they are."

Tohru was lost in Yuki's eyes as his own stared back at her brown ones. Both their forehead's rested on each others as their nose touch. A smile made it's way to Tohru's delicate lips. "Yuki-kun. You know, I always love your eyes,"

"Oh?"

"Yup. I always drown in them. Like I am now,"

He stroked her hair, that was getting a little longer, "I never thought you would cut your hair. Honestly, I thought you looked cute. But I'm not complaining now," She blushed as she smiled.

Kisa cleared her throat, letting the couple break apart, and their backs facing each other. "Onee-chan. Let's go home. It's getting late." She said. Kiara rested her arm on her head while Rin just shut her eyes and slapped Kiara's head.

"WHAT?"

"Don't treat her like a table," Rin scolded, glaring at her. Kiara glared back.

"Oh yeah?" How about you? Miss Know-it-all."

"At least I know what I need to know. And I'm smarter than you."

"Hello! You came up with the plan for the both of them? Me!"

"Whatever." Kisa went in-between them.

"Ane-san, Rin-chan. Can we please go? I'm getting sleepy," she said, rubbing her eyes cutely with her eyes slowly drooping. So cute!

Rin snatched Tohru away from Yuki. He quickly turned around and opened his mouth, Rin beat him to it, "Shut it, loverboy. She's with us."

When they returned to their huge size apartment, with many decorations and cushions and rooms, Rin let go and dropped herself into a bean bag. "What a day."

Kisa laid down on the long couch, "And we stayed out in the sun for a long time," she said tiredly, shutting her eyes and going to sleep. Kiara went to her and picked her up. Since Kiara was light, she nearly dropped Kisa. Rin glared. She grinned sheepishly and went to Kisa's bedroom and arrived back and plopped down to the couch.

"So, Tohru," Rin said, not looking at her, "Looks like things are getting interesting with you and Yuki." The mention of Yuki's name made Tohru blush hard. "But you know you want revenge against his family." She continued. "You know he'll go to their side. What'll you do?"

Tohru's back was facing them. She was facing the door. A sad look on her face. She thought for a while in silence, 'She's right. I want revenge. But I bet Yuki-kun will not accept it. I've trained myself for this….'

"Tohru?"

She turned around with a smirk. She put all her support on her right leg and crossed her arms, "Whaddya think? Of course I would choose revenge. Love has nothing to do with me,"

Rin stood up with a smirk. Kiara smirked as well and high-five Tohru, "There's the bad girl I know." Rin went to her and both slammed their fists together.

"Bad attitude. Cool." Was all she said. Tohru just shrugged.

"Get ready for tomorrow girls. We'll be partying late night with the Sohma's."

Kiara looked confused. "I thought you hated them. Why are we partying with them?" Rin slapped her head, "Idiot. That means there'll be a big fight."

Kiara glared. "Oh, I know there'll be a big fight….with you and me now!" She charged at Rin and attacked. She dodged. "Bring it on!"

Tohru sweatdropped and went to her bedroom and locked it. She went to her closet and changed to her pajamas and fell asleep.

Next Morning

The Sohma's were sitting around the table; eating and sipping their tea and food silently. All was silent, but everything was broken as a fire arrow landed on the table, letting the fire cover the table. They all stood away from the fire.

"Get water!" Haru said.

The fire began to spread to the table. Soon it died down when Yuki and Kyo splashed water over it.

Shigure sighed, "Well. There goes our breakfast and table."

Kyo noticed something. "What's this?" he picked up a letter that was in the middle of the ash like table. They gathered around him.

Meet us at the abandon house down the street. Come alone with the Sohma's. Anymore people coming will be eliminated as soon as he/she will step foot in. Come at 10:00 p.m. sharp. If the Sohma family will fail to show u, we will come to you and burn down every of your possession.

Tohru, Kiara, Kisa and …

"Hmm?" they all looked closely at the last name, but it looked like it was scratched out and they couldn't make it out. They all sighed. "Well. Looks like another invitation from the bad girls." Haru said.

"But we mustn't disappoint them," Shigure said.

"I'm sorry, but I won't be joining you," Ritsu said.

"You must. Or you'll put us all in danger." Shigure said.

That broke Ritsu. "I'M SO SORRY! I SHOULDN'T HAVE SAID THAT! I APOLOGIZE TO EVERYONE! I'M SORRY!"

"So loud," Hiro muttered in annoyance.

"What do you think, Ayame-nii?" Haru asked.

"I shall go. I must see their sense of fashion." Everyone crashed down anime style. "How about Hatori-san?" They all looked at their family doctor, waiting for an answer. "Well?"

"I have nothing to do with this."

"But you were the one who told us to set up Tohru-kun!" Momiji cried out.

"….Fine…"

"I bet Kagura will be clinging onto Kyo for a long time. Remember, it's a haunted house we're going to. It's abandon because of that reason." Haru said, getting a little scary. Yuki shook his head as Kagura held Kyo's arm.

"W-What happened?" she asked.

"A long time ago, it said to be that in that very large house. A woman hangs herself because of too much stress. Her husband mourned her death alone. Then one night, when the husband was working late at night, trying to forget his deceased wife, he heard a foot step. But he mind it and continued…Unaware that something was right behind him, holding a knife above his head.."

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Kagura screamed loud that everyone fell down.

Next day – 9:45 p.m.

"Everyone ready to go?" Shigure asked.

"Sheesh. You don't have to treat us like children. It's not like we're going to a field trip for something," Hiro muttered in annoyance.

"Shut it kid," Kyo said in anger.

Hiro opened his mouth, ready to talk back, but Hatori beat him, "Less talking. More walking," he said sternly.

When they arrived, the clock exactly reached 10:00 sharp. The house was large and big. It was very dark, letting the trees add a scary background with the tall gate in front of them, that opened. "That's just the wind," Kyo whispered to a scared Kagura.

"Let's go then."

They entered and went passed the gate and went into the abandoned house. "Hello?" Haru's voice echoed through the house, he opened his flashlight and looked around the room. It was full of old furniture.

They heard a footstep walking above them. Them being scared, except Hatori, went close to each other and back away, letting them form a circle while looking where the noise was. "Kyo-kun," Kagura asked, "W-What was that?"

"Probably a rat or some animal." He answered, still looking around cautiously.

"I forgot to finish my story," Haru said. "The killer who killed the man still lives in this house. Since it has been a long time since he killed, he's looking for another victim…"

That send shivers up Kagura's spine and freaked her out and she screamed," AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

They heard another crash above them, they all looked above them.

The Girls

"Kiara!" Tohru whispered, "You okay?" They all stared as after Kagura screamed, Kiara crashed down with anime swirling eyes.

"That was a loud bang she made," Rin muttered as she looked down.

"Is ane-san alright?" Kisa asked.

"Yup." Tohru answered, "In just 5 seconds. 5….4….3….2…1…"

Rin looked closely at Kiara, who was still unconscious. But after Tohru count up to 5, Kiara automatically sat up, letting their head collide in pain. "OOOOOOOWWWWWWWW!"

Sohma Family

"OOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW!" Kagura was clinging onto Kyo while Momiji was clutching his shirt. "W-what was t-that?" they both asked.

Haru answered again, "Must be the ghost of the house. Remembering his tragic death." Both Momiji and Kagura fainted.

Yuki sighed, "Enough talking and messing around," he said seriously, "I'm going up to investigate. You guys wait down here."

"No way," Kyo said, "I'm not waitin' around here doing nothing while you go up. I'll investigate down here." He stepped forward. Both walked away in opposite directions and slowly their forms disappeared.

Haru stuffed his hands in his pockets and walked the other way from Kyo, "See ya'll later,"

Girls

"They're going the way we want it to, Tohru," Kiara whispered in focus, closing the door where they were spying on them. Tohru nodded, her arms crossed. "Get to your positions girls. We'll party hard tonight,"

"This'll be a hell of a party," Rin said, leaving the room, not before slapping her hands with Kiara and they parted ways. They whispered their plan about match make outside, "Yuki will be alone with her. Let's spy on them than go to out target," Rin whispered and they left.

Tohru faced Kisa and leaned down at the 13 year old, "Why won't you keep our guests busy, Kisa?" She nodded in response and left soon after.

Yuki stepped up the stairs and when he reached to his destinations. He looked both to his sides, deciding which way he should take. When he went to his left, a wind passed by him, it smelled like vanilla. 'That's Tohru's perfume,' he thought and went to his right.

There were many doors around him and he looked door to door as he went down the long hallway. When he reached the end, he noticed a door was slightly open and slowly pushed it opened.

In front of him was Tohru, her back facing him. She turned around, alarmed, "Yuki-kun?" she asked. 'Wow. This is unexpected. I thought it was Rin's job to handle him,'

Rin and Kiara secretly smiled, "That's the way."

Tohru turned her whole body to look at him. She was wearing a different outfit now. She wore a purple tank tube top that covered her chest and reached above her stomach. The words in light yellow read, 'Bad girls are coming.' She wore dark black cargo pants that dragged against the floor. "W-what're you doing here?"

"Well, you did send us the note to come here, didn't you not?" Tohru felt a blush from embarrassment cover her face.

"Oh, r-right. But you aren't my target," she said, "It was suppose to be Shigure coming up after you. You were suppose to go the other way…"

Yuki went towards her while saying, "Well. I'm glad I went this way than. I get to see you again," he said, snaking his arm around her waist. Tohru didn't see this coming as her head was against his chest and her hands on his chest.

"Um…Yuki-kun…."

He hushed her, "Let me just remember this moment. Please, Honda-san."

"Mission complete for their little moment," Rin whispered before leaving. But they heard another voice, she growled, "That pervert, Shigure."

Shigure, wearing his loose kimono was walking the same path as Yuki, "Tohru-kun?" he cooed. He went inside the room with a creek from the door and saw what was in front of him, "Eh?"

Tohru's eyes snapped opened as she heard the door opened with a creek. Quickly, she pushed Yuki away and glared. She took out her arrows and aimed it at him. "If you dare move, Sohma," she said, "I will kill you instantly." Yuki stumbled back in surprise and shock. He tensed as she started calling him Sohma again.

Kiara growled and left her spot and went downstairs to Haru. Rin jumped out of her hiding place and took Yuki by the arm. She was wearing a hood to cover her face "Sorry for interrupting," Tohru lowered her bow, "No interruptions. Handle him," Rin nodded and she dragged Yuki out to the door and shut the door.

Outside, he let go of him and ran to the other side of the hallway, letting Yuki follow her. 'Just like planned.'

Tohru focused her bow to her next target and shut one eye and smirked, "Well. Nice meeting you again, Shigure," Shigure had a nervous smile while shaking. "Hello Tohru-ku-" She shot her arrow at him as he dropped to the ground.

"What did I say?" she asked, her eyes flaring, "Never call me that again, Shigure," He shivered as she said his name in a cold voice.

'Great. Just what I need' Shigure thought hopelessly.
