Chapter 32
Tohru walked gracefully out the door. There was a black limo parked upfront. Tohru inched towards in slowly and wondered why it was so quiet, there seemed to be no one in the limo.
"Tohru?" asked a voice behind her. Tohru jumped and turned quickly. It was Hatori; he smiled gently at her and said
"My you look wonderful." He then opened the back door and gestured at Tohru to sit. Tohru slid inside and Hatori closed the door. Tohru watched through the window as he walked around to the driver's seat. He sat inside and started the car.
"Where is everyone?" asked Tohru suddenly.
"Um… Ayame's driving Kyo and Yuki… oh, and we have to go pickup Ichigo at the beauty salon…"
"Oh…" said Tohru sadly. She had been hoping to be able to ride with Kyo…
"Oh Tohru, um Kyo told me to make sure to give you that." He said pointing at a pink and white striped box next to Tohru; it was long like the ones you put clothes in. Tohru picked it up with both hands, it was very light. Tohru untied a pink ribbon it had around it and lifted the top. Inside was a bundle wrapped in tissue paper. Tohru unwrapped it and gasped. It was a pink lacy corsage that matched her dress.
"Wow!" she smiled and turned towards Hatori.
"Here, let me help you." he said and reached for it. He grabbed it and gently tied it onto Tohru's wrist.
"Thank you." said Tohru gratefully. Hatori smiled and turned around.
Meanwhile…
"Now, now boys… no martial arts in the car please… it is rented after all, and we certainly wouldn't want the roof breaking would we?" reasoned Ayame at a stoplight.
"Speak for yourself…" answered Kyo reaching for Yuki's collar.
"So uncivilized really… I don't know how in the world Tohru puts up with you." said Yuki pushed Kyo's hand to the side.
"Take that back!" shouted Kyo seizing the hem of Yuki's collar and lifting him a few inches. Ayame hit a button on the dash and a glass window between the back seats and the front closed.
"No!" said Yuki calmly. "Now, take your hands off of me!" he grabbed Kyo's collar and they simply glared at each other for a few seconds… then the car came to a halt very suddenly causing both boys to slam into the window Hatori had just closed.
Kyo peeled his face off of the window and pressed a button to open it.
"Ayame…" he managed to say. His face was slowly turning red.
"… Um… Kyo… sorry, you now… cars… and … stuff… gulp, I had to stop-"
"Ayame," said Yuki.
"Y-yes."
"Save it."
"Oh… well… ok. Kyo, your face… it's turning blue… is that normal?"
"AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" yelled Kyo as he lunged at Ayame. Yuki held him back.
"Kyo! Kyo! Breathe Kyo! Breathe!" said Yuki struggling with the cat that was now hissing. Kyo grabbed Ayame's tie and pulled it. Ayame let go of the wheel to try and stop Kyo from choking him. The result of this was the car going off onto the wrong lane…
"AHHHHHHHHHH! AYAME THE WHEEL! THE WHEE- AHH A TRUCK! AYAME! KYO, LET GO OF AYAME!" Yuki shouted and pulled Kyo off f Ayame. A large truck was indeed heading strait for them when Ayame regained control of the wheel and turned it so that they were on the right lane again. The truck whizzed passed them and Yuki sighed.
Kyo pouted as he sat with his arms crossed next to Yuki.
"What's wrong?" asked Yuki.
"I coulda had him… stupid little sunovabi-"
"Oh Kyo! Let it go!"
"But!-"
"LET- IT- GO!"
"Fine dammit! You don't have ta be so pushy…"
