Chapter 4-Clichéd Little Kid's Show

A/N-First and foremost, I would like to thank Dark Inu Fan for being one of my most loyal reviewers. I wish to inform Dark (and everyone else, for that matter) that nothing I ever do is sane. From here on out, it just gets more and more random… But, on with the show.

P.S. Sorry for not reviewing in forever. Over a month is way too long. I know you don't want excuses, but I just didn't feel like writing.

Kagura bustled about, getting read for Kyo's surprise birthday party. Hatori, Ayame, and even Ritsu were also there, though they didn't help much. In fact, Ritsu made matters worse, but that's why everyone loves him. Shigure, like always, felt the wrath of his editor as he was forced to write at least thirty pages in an hour. Yuki had long since left Shigure's house to avoid his older brother and to have less to do with the cat. At the moment, Kyo was being dragged to the grocery store with Tohru. It was the only way to keep him away while the party was set up.

The doorbell rang. Shigure instantly piped up to answer it, anything to get away from writing. He hoped it was the paper boy; pestering him is always so much fun. Shigure got a much better surprise, though. Actually, about ten surprises. "Surprise," was yelled by ten people, who expected Kyo to answer the door.

Shigure simply said, "I think you guys are looking for Kyo."

"Yup," said their leader; Shigure recognized her from somewhere.

"I'm sorry. He's not he right now."

The leader sighed, "I guess we'll leave, then."

"No, no, no!" Shigure exclaimed, "Please stay and talk to me. I don't want to get back to work."

From inside, a ticked off voice yelled, "I heard that! You know what, Shigure, I'm leaving. This is just too stressful! If you want to keep your job, you'd better have the manuscript finished by this weekend!" She was soon seen storming off of Shigure's land.

The leader chuckled, "You're that writer, aren't ya?"

"Why, yes. Don't I know you?"

"Yeah, I'm Arisa U… Just Arisa right now. I'm Tohru's friend from high school."

"Ah, yes, the high school girl!" Shigure started singing about high school girls.

"Man, shut up. I ain't in high school anymore."

Shigure pouted.

Uo turned back to her gang, "Alright, guys, break it up. It seems we won't surprise my friend after all. See you all next week."

They quickly dispersed, each member going their separate way. As soon as they were gone, Shigure remembered how to be a good host, "Miss Uotani, would you like to come in?"

"Yeah, sure. Guess I'll wait for Orange Top to get back."

Uo sat down in the kitchen, since it was the most peaceful room. Only Kagura was inside, cheerfully making the least leek-y meal imaginable. Uo politely introduced herself, "Hello, my name is Arisa Uotani."

Kagura looked up from her cooking for a second, "I'm Kagura Sohma, Kyo's future wife."

"I didn't know Orange Top was engaged."

"Oh, he isn't," Kagura muttered, "But one day, he'll realize that he loves me. One day…"

"So, what are you cooking?"

"Oh, just some (insert non-leek dish here) for my Kyon-Kyon. He'll love it!"

"Sohma, eh… I guess you're related to them, too."

"Yup. Besides you, everyone here right now is related. We're all cousins. Well, except Ayame and Yuki. They're brothers."

"The Prince has a brother?"

"I don't know any princes."

"Yuki, it was a nickname for him in school. I don't know why, it just kinda stuck."

"Strange name. I'd call him something like Peter or Scabbers."

"That's random…"

"Haven't you read Harry Potter? Peter Pettigrew, A.K.A. Scabbers, was a rat in it."

"Oooookay…"

Suddenly, Kagome Higurashi appeared, and Kagura Sohma turned into Kagura of the Wind! They got in a huge battle and DIED!

Or, not…

Actually, Kagura simply said, "You know, I have the same name as one of the villains in an anime."

Uo thought for a moment, "Oh, yeah, Kagura from InuYasha!"

Before they had time to say anything else, a pink streak flew through the room. Actually, it was a man in a pink kimono running through the room, but who cares? Ritsu ran around, a flurry of apologies, accidentally destroying things in his path. Uo sighed and slowly approached him, "Ritsu-kun, won't you be a dear and calm down?"

Almost instantly, he stopped, and mumbled, "Arisa-chan."

Kagura watched them with interest, "You two know each other?"

"Yup," Uo muttered at Kagura before turning her attention back to Ritsu, "You know that I hate it when you call me Arisa."

"What? It's a pretty name, way better than Uo, or whatever you go buy."

Uo ignored him and walked into the other room, where Shigure was, "Thanks for the hospitality, but I think I should be leaving. Tell Orange Top 'Happy Birthday' for me, okay."

Ritsu followed her into the room, "Don't leave on account of me."

Uo scoffed, "Just because you want to be friends, it doesn't make me suddenly like you. So leave me alone, alright! You know I don't want to talk to you nii-san."

That last statement caught everyone's attention. Well, except for Ayame, but he was in the restroom at the time. (Not like anyone wanted to know that)

Not waiting to answer anyone's questions, Uo rushed out the door. Just as she swung it open, she collided with two people who were just entering. A burst of smoke, and the three people fell down. Uo was the first up. She noticed Tohru and helped her up. The third person was nothing but a… cat.

Uo chuckled, "I'd recognize that hair, erm fur, anywhere. Happy birthday."

And with that, she walked off.

As soon as Kyo was a fully clothed human again, Ayame walked in, "What'd I miss?"

Surprisingly, Ritsu answered, "My half sister was here."

Hatori finally figured out who it was, "Aaah, yes, Uotani-san. How could I forget her?"

Kyo added, "She somehow knew who I was after I transformed, and didn't seem frightened or confused at all."

"Well, of course not," Ritsu said.

Hatori explained, "She knows about the curse, since her elder half brother is the monkey."

"Wow!" Tohru said, "I had no idea that one of my best friends knew, too. That's awesome!"

Everyone then remembered Kyo, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KYO!"

He looked down to keep his family from seeing his slight blush, "Uh… thanks, guys, I guess. But don't expect me to care when your birthdays come around."

Shigure put his arm around Kyo's shoulder, "And we wouldn't want it any other way."

Kyo pushed him away, "Shut up, this sounds too much like some dumb clichéd little kid's cartoon."

A/N-I really, really, really appologise for taking forever to update. I hope you guys can find it in you to forgive me. To make up for it, I tried to make a good chapter without to much insanity... I'll try to do better with the next chapter, promise! Oh, and Merry Christmas, or whatever holiday you celebrate.
