Shigure Gets Hungry

Shigure was hungry. So he decided to leave his office and fetch himself a snack. But then there was a problem! Tohru was nowhere to be found! Not willing to try neither Yuki's nor Kyo's cooking, Shigure sat down at the table to ponder his predicament.

Unable to figure out what to do, Shigure angrily opened the refrigerator.

"WHAT is fitting for a FANTASTIC writer such as myself? Certainly ONLY the best and richest of foods!" Shigure proclaimed. After such a very long time without eating, he was getting delusional.

Of course Shigure could have done the smart thing, such as call someone, ask Yuki where Tohru was, or even go out to eat, but his delusions prevented him from thinking rationally. (Not that he did in the first place, but at least he had SOME sense.)

There were many indistinguishable jars, bottles and jugs. It was overwhelming for poor Shigure. Suddenly he saw a bright orange bag on the bottom shelf.

"Hmm, what's this?" Shigure opened the bag and nibbled on a small orange object.

"Baby…Carrots." He read off the front of the bag.

"Mmmm." Shigure ate more baby carrots. Then he ate some more. And some more. And even more still.

"Deesh callwods aw umashind!" (These carrots are amazing!") Shigure stuttered with his mouth full of the orange vegetable.

After about an hour of Shigure gorging himself on the baby carrots, Tohru came home. She saw Shigure sitting in the middle of the kitchen floor, three bags of baby carrots scattered around him, and a fourth sitting empty on his stomach.

Shigure's large eyes turned on Tohru.

"Carrot?" The dog inquired.

"Umm…No Shigure-san…I'm Tohru…Remember?" The young girl replied.

"No, I think you're a carrot! Yum!" Shigure leaped at stunned Tohru.

Tohru got scared and fled towards her room. "Shigure-san! Please! I'm not a carrot!"

Kyo took that exact moment to walk by Tohru's door, where he saw Shigure attempting to beat it down.

Shigure turned his eyes to Kyo.

"YOU'RE the carrot!" The delusional dog yelled. "YOU are actually RIPE! You're ORANGE! YAY!"

"What the hell! Get away from me!" Kyo punched Shigure in the face and took him to Hatori.

"No more carrots for you Shigure. It seems that whenever you eat them, you get an odd reaction that reacts to your body and it oddly makes you odd. I believe it is because of the zodiac curse." Hatori diagnosed.

"Will he be okay Hatori-san?" Tohru worriedly wondered.

"Yes, but I suggest you never feed him carrots again. Nor should you feed them to Yuki or Kyo. I shall inform the rest of the Zodiac."

"Oh…Okay." Tohru left and got back to Shigure's home to find Yuki sitting on the floor rambling to himself.

"PRINCE SPARKLE STAR! YOU'RE BACK!" He giggled.

"Oh shit! Not THAT again!" Kyo exclaimed.

Tohru then took all the carrots in the house and flushed them down the toilet.

Heehee, random thought. I have Yuki's Magical Pony Part II written already, but I just don't feel like typing it right now. :3
