"The surprise is that I'm gonna take Tohru...ICE SKATING!" the freshly dressed Momiji said with a wide enough smile to be in a magazine add selling toothpaste.

"Wow! Thanks, Momiji!" Tohru said with a sincere smile. "I can't wait! I've never been ice skating before!" But Momiji wasn't finished.

"And Shigure, Kyo, and Yuki are coming, as well as Hatori, Haru, Ayame, Kagura, (A large "Gulp" from Kyo could be heard) and Kisa!" He said, his smile wider and his silly voice ringing out. "But the rest couldn't come. They were busy..." his smiled dimmed a little, but quickly shot back into full volume intensity.

"But you still haven't learned that you can't decide for people, damn kid!" Kyo snapped. "I'm not gonna come!"

"Aww, Kyo. But I thought you'd want to see Tohru's skirt flying up if she fe–" Momiji couldn't finish his sentence before Kyo had set his mind to throttling him.

"Kyo-kun, please stop!" Tohru cried, but Kyo wasn't listening. A quick swish of Yuki's hand and Kyo had let go of the crying Momiji, for all of Kyo's aggressive attention was now making a bee-line for the Rat.

"Damn Rat! I'm gonna beat you!" he started towards the still calm Yuki, but was forced to stop when Shigure appeared, smiling his usual ha-ha-you-can't-tell-what-I'm-really-thinking smile and said cheerfully, "Oh, ice skating? How am I supposed to go ice skating in a kimono?"

"You're not, idiot." stated Kyo in an annoyed matter-of-fact kind of voice.

"Well, looks like I'll have to go shopping. Hey, Tohru, want to come with me and help me dress?"

"NO," both Kyo and Yuki answered for her, their eyes narrowing, while Momiji sat smiling and watching the group's characters bounce off of each other. Tohru sat down with a nervous smile on her face and a sweatdrop on her forhead, while Shigure just shrugged, and then bid the kids a farewell and went back to his room to write. Or God knows what else. -sweat-

So it was decided that everyone would go ice skating the following day, not knowing what events would take place at the rink.


Ack. I don't know how this story is going to end! I guess I'll just let the character's emotions fight w/ each other, and then end the story some how. Hope you review! (And like my story...)
