Chapter III

This is sort of a pointless chapter but I had to put it in. It just seemed right at the time. It's basically a long phone conference of sorts. Hope you enjoy.

Me no own Fruits Basket! Wahhh!

Oh, and I wasn't sure what Yuki would call Tohru after she was married to Kyo, so I used the name her calls her in episode 20 of the anime, at Aya's shop.

At Kyo and Tohru's apartment the phone rang in the middle of everyone catching up. Tohru got to it first.

"Hello? Tohru, its Ayame! Is Kyo there? We wanted to speak to you both about an important matter."

"Hello Ayame! There are a few of us here. There's Momiji, Kisa, Hiro, Haru, and Yuki too."

"My dear brother is there. Let me speak with him please."

"Now, now Aya that is not why we called" Shigure cut in. "besides the more minds the better. Speaker phone please Tohru."

"Ok," Tohru turned to the family of eyes that were watching her conversation. "It's Shigure and Ayame. They say they have something important to talk about." Everyone's head nodded in unison, and Tohru hit the speaker button.

"Hello everyone, and my dear precious brother; how are you Yuki?"

"What the hell are you doing calling here to talk to Yuki!" Kyo cut in.

"I don't want to talk to him anyway. So if there isn't any thing else…" Yuki's dismissal was cut short.

"We're going to throw Tohru a baby shower!" Shigure blurted out. There was silence on both sides. "We'll that wasn't the reaction we were looking for, was it Aya?"

"Not at all Shigure, they are all just speechless because they are jealous that they didn't think of it first."

"I got a question." All attention was on Momiji. "How are you going to do that? I mean we don't even know whether Tohru will have a girl or a boy."

"Well, Shigure and I have thought about that and decided…"

"…to deal with it later." Shigure finished for Ayame.

"Besides, we are just doing the planning now. The party will happen after Ha'ri tells us which one Tohru will have. Let's vote on it!"

"That's just stupid." Kyo attempted to brush the idea off.

"I must agree." Was Yuki's reply.

"Unfortunate I am going to take the idiots' side on this one." Said Hiro

"I like the idea of throwing sissy a baby shower."

"Then I guess it isn't all that bad." Hiro's attitude was changed from just a few words form his beloved Kisa.

"Traitor" Kyo growled under his breath.

"I like it too!" Momiji and is optimistic self voted.

"Sounds nice enough" Haru voted.

"You're not helping Haru." Yuki shot him a look, Haru shrugged.

"What about you Tohru." Momiji pursued. "Don't you like the idea of a baby shower?"

"I don't know it all sound wonderful but it's just seems like too much trouble."

"Just put her down for a yes. She'll take forever just to get there if you don't." Haru answered for her. She smiled at him.

"Yea; so it decided. The planning starts now." Ayame cut in.

"Oo! Aya, let's do the place and guest list first."

"Ok, the place will be your house of course."

"Of course"

"And as everyone knows the guest of honor is Tohru. So that means her high school friends must be invited, right?" Ayame continued

"That would be wonderful; the more girls the better. Aya and I will be there anyways."

"Shigure!" Yuki and Kyo yelled at the phone.

"Right" Agreed Tohru.

"Don't encourage them Miss Tohru." Yuki scolded. Kyo rolled his eyes.

"Oh, and Kisa and Kagura must come too!" Tohru added ignoring the other's advice.

"I'm invited too, right?" Asked Momiji.

"Your invited too, and Haru will you be there." Aya agreed

"What the hell!" Kyo shot a look at them.

"Aren't baby showers for women and girls only?" Yuki asked

"Sure, I'll go." Haru smiled at Yuki. "Can I bring Yuki?"

"Great idea! It will be another chance to see my lovely little brother again."

"Haru, don't get me involved! And you, Ayame, stop giving me disgusting pet names" Yuki was starting to get a headache.

"Yeh Haru, and you shouldn't go! You're a guy!" Kyo was yelling again.

"Do you want me to come, Tohru?" Haru asked her, she nodded vigorously.

"Don't ask her!" Kyo was starting to get a headache form all this also.

"Can I bring Hiro?" Kisa asked Tohru.

"I'd like that." They smiled at each other.

"Will you stop agreeing with everyone!" Kyo turned to Tohru. She giggled.

"I'm sorry Kyo." Tohru pouted

"And stop with the apologizing, will ya." Kyo said more calmly, plopping down on the floor from the exhaustion of arguing with everyone.

"Aww; such gentle love is able to calm the rough waters that is our Kyo." Shigure butt in.

"Shut up!" Kyo shouted at the phone.

"Ah, we should invite the ever timid Ritsu. Don't you think Tohru?" Aya asked

"Not him." Yuki cut in

"Aw, crap" Kyo responded. Haru and Hiro just shook their heads.

"It would help with his confidence." Shigure pushed.

"Hey! Stop trying to guilt her into this damn it!"

"Ok that sound's nice." Everyone let out a sigh.

"Great Tohru, oh and Ha'ri has to come, right Shigure."

"Right you are Aya, and I'm sure Tohru would agree."

"She definitely would, wouldn't you Tohru? I mean he is the doctor and deserves to join in on the festivities. Don't you think so Tohru?" Ayame went on.

"Stop manipulating her!" Yuki and Kyo yelled in unison, and then went back to hanging their heads warily.

"Oh, Aya I think they are getting angry at us."

"We've been angry!" Kyo jump up again.

"Don't worry Shigure; I'll always be here to comfort you." Ayame said seductively.

"This is tiring. Miss Tohru please hang up on those two idiots." Yuki glared at the phone as if were his brother.

"I agree!" Kyo growled

"Oh, I don't think I could hang up on anyone. That would be mean." Tohru looked back and forth between the two.

"Ah yes. My sweet flower could never hurt my feelings." Shigure taunted them.

"I'll do it damn it!" Kyo picked up the receiver and slammed it back down, cutting of the call. He then slumped back to the floor as if that action had taken the last of his energy. There was a relived sigh from half the room, the exception of Kisa and Tohru; who were still clueless to the tension that had built up in the past few minutes.

"Well, we should get going. Tohru will need her rest." Momiji bounced up from his seat on the couch.

"He's right. Let's go Hiro and let sissy get some rest." Hiro nodded and took Kisa's hand.

"There right. Let's go Yuki." Haru offered his hand to Yuki, but Yuki just shot him an angry look and ignored it. Haru shrugged.

A worn out Kyo opened the door for a giddy Momiji, a relaxed Haru, a tired Yuki, a haughty Hiro, and a shy Kisa. A happy Tohru waved from her seat on the couch that Kyo told her not to leave.

Before he could close the door, Yuki beckoned him outside.

"Kyo, I have wanted to ask you something for a while now…"

Ok, I stayed up till one thirty am to finish this chapter for ya'll. So you better be damn grateful for it! Hope it's up to par. Oh and I have three R's for ya
