10. Summing It Up
A/N: It was fun while it lasted...
After the Railroad, the gang went to the Haunted Mansion. Of course, Kyo had to stick with Kagura S. or she'll probably kill him, and the Azu girls paired up. For once, Kyo and Yuki didn't argue because they were both scared...Yomi accidently bumped into Haru, causing him to turn into a cow. Luckily, it was dark and the transformation lasted only about a minute. She did feel something furry, but Haru said it was the dog assisting the blind kid.
Splash Mountain was also fun for them. They did get wet, and annoyed from the talking animals. Momiji was shocked when he saw the hillbilly rabbit singing "Zippidy Doo Dah" at the end of the ride. During the line wait, Osaka made another remark about the ride's name, thinking the they'll drown during the ride...
Star Tours was their last ride at Disneyland. They kept talking, and Kyo and Sakaki had more silent feelings for each other than ever during that ride. At one point, Kyo had his hand touching hers. Yuki and Haru seemed surprised, resisting how Tohru was being so nice. Shigure and Hatori really didn't play a part during the last 3 rides, for they were just sitting around, waiting for the dozen teens to come back.

"All done for today? You guys didn't ride too much..." Shigure asked.
"Well, we rode more than we could...and we appreciate that we came here with the girls here for extra company," Yuki said, looking at the Azu girls.
"Well, where do you want to eat?" Hatori asked.
"We already planned it out," Kagura exclaimed. "We're going to eat at Itsumo Japanese Cuisine, just by Disneyland!"
"Oh, great! A nice treat from home," Shigure said pleasantly.
"What are we waiting for? Let's eat!" Tomo said happily, but not hyperly.
The 14 went into their own cars, and followed the Azu girls' SUV to the Itsumo Japanese Cuisine.
About 15 minutes later...
"Well, we're here!" The Azu girls said happily.
"I wanna eat! I'm hungry!" Momiji said, rubbing his stomach.
"Come! My treat!" Chiyo said.
They went inside, but all they saw were tables only seated for two.
"Welcome to the Itsumo Japanese Cuisine! Who will be sitting with you?" the waitress asked.
"Well...there's 14 of us," Chiyo replied.
"Um, I'm sorry, we don't have enough tables to put you all together...do you want to eat in pairs?" the waitress asked.
"Uh..."
"That's fine! The kids can figure out who they're going to eat with!" Shigure said from the back.
"Ok! Pick your partner, and tell me when you're done!"
"Hey Sakaki...wanna sit with me?" Kyo said quietly. "Kagura is sitting with your Kagura."
Sakaki turned red. "Um..ok."
Momiji happily agreed to sit with Chiyo, while Tomo and Osaka, Shigure and Hatori, Yomi and Haru, and Yuki and Tohru sat with each other.
"Hm...lucky to be paired like this," Yuki said to Tohru.
"I'm glad I'm with you, Yuki. I didn't talk to you much, today!" Tohru said happily.
"Now boys...don't do anything to upset the girls," Hatori said, giving the hint not to make any physical contact with them.
"Right..." The Sohma boys answered.
The 7 pairs then took at seat at 7 tables, and ordered what they wanted. It was a steady, moderately fast night...as the Azu girls and the Sohma family talked with each other for a while. The restaurant was a very mellow but had a romantic feeling to it. There was an Asian piano player playing, "The Name of Life", and other songs like, "Epilogue", and "Morning".
"This place is great, isn't it?" Momiji asked Chiyo.
"Yeah...I love the music, and the food reminds me of home!" Chiyo replied.
"Yomi...you remind me of my younger cousin, Kisa, back at home..." Haru attempted to flirt again.
"How?" Yomi asked, blushing.
"You can't resist to say 'I love you' to her...and she's such a cute little girl...reminds me of a kitten," Haru exclaimed.
"You have never talked to a girl like this in your life, right?" Yomi asked.
"Well...yeah..." Haru said, turning red.
"Hey Sakaki...you're a lot like Tohru...and I like you both..." Kyo began to say. Sakaki didn't say anything.
"You just can't decide who you like more," Sakaki finished for him.
"How did you know?"
Sakaki didn't answer.
"Well, Ha'ri, at least there wasn't a whole bunch of accidents, eh?" Shigure slurred, leaning back on his chair, sipping a glass of sake.
"Don't drink too much, or you'll have an accident," Hatori replied, drinking a glass of tea.
"Hey Tomo...whadya think Sakaki and Kyo are talkin' 'bout right now?" Osaka randomly asked.
"Dunno...I wonder what Yomi and Haru's talkin' about!" Tomo replied.
"They're probably talkin' 'bout how pretty they look," Osaka said.
"Yeah...whatever."
"So...Kagura...how's the weather?" Kagura asked.
"You don't have anything to talk about, can you?" Kagura S. replied.
"No..." Kagura said back.
"Why don't we talk about my LOVE...KYO!" Kagura S. said, not trying to raise her voice.
"Uh...what's so great about Kyo?" Kagura asked.
This made the other Kagura mad. She then went on top of the table and dropped every glass. The rest of the Sohmas and the Azu girls stared at their table.
"YOU TAKE THAT BACK..." Kagura S. said darkly, holding her neck, but not choking her.
Kagura struggled to speak. "Fine...I take it back..."
"Good." Kagura S. said, taking her seat calmly.
"Miss Honda...did you have fun?" Yuki asked.
"I sure did! I got my wish to go to Disneyland!" Tohru replied.
"That's great. I'm happy when you're happy," Yuki grinned.
If you don't know, The Name of Life is a song from Spirited Away, nearing the end of the movie...you know...when Chihiro leaves Haku for her parents...yeah...
After dinner...
Outside the restaurant, the 14 kept mingling and lingered for a while, until around 10:00 at night, where they said their goodbyes.
"I had a great time with you!" Chiyo said happily.
"Me too! I hope we see each other again!" Momiji replied.
The two Kaguras could swear there was a look in Chiyo and Momiji's eyes that said, "I just want to hold you."
"Hey...call me when you get the chance," Yomi said, giving Haru her number.
"Yeah...as soon as I come home, I'm gonna send you a message right away," Haru smiled.
Yomi was about to hug Haru. He blocked it by putting his hands on her shoulders. "No .contact, remember?"
"Aw...tell me when that curse of yours breaks," Yomi grinned.
Haru flinched back, and almost fainted.
"It's a figure of speech! I meant that when you're ready, you can do it!" Yomi joked. "It's not like you really have a curse, right?"
"Oh yeah...hehe, good one," Haru nervously laughed.
"Hey Sakaki...I'll see you later," Kyo said quietly.
"Right...um, is it all right if I can give you a hug?" Sakaki asked.
"I can't...remember?" Kyo replied nervously.
"YO! SEE YA LATER, KAGURA!" Kagura cried, high-fiving the other Kagura.
"GOODBYE, PEOPLES!" Tomo shouted.
"We are the champions!" Osaka randomly said.
"Uh...ok," Everybody but Osaka said.
"Well, goodbye, everyone! It was a pleasure meeting you all!" Hatori said happily.
"Guudbyeee...it's a pleasurrrreee seeeeeing you girlssss..." Shigure slurred, drunk and slumping over Hatori's shoulder.
"We'll see you later!" The Azu girls waved, getting into their SUV.
"We hope to see you again!" The Sohmas waved.
Soon enough, they all got into their car, and Shigure, Chiyo, and Hatori started the car. Chiyo and Ha'ri's car were parked right next to each other, and Yomi was sitting behind the passenger seat, near the window. Hatsuharu was behind the driver's seat, and looked at Yomi. Surprisingly, he gave a light kiss at the window. Yomi turned red, smiled, then looked away. Haru smiled back.
The 3 cars then went their separate ways, and the teens were so tired, they just fell fast asleep...dreaming if they were to see each other ever again.
THE END
A/N: Ok...a game of good news and bad news...the bad news is that the story ends here, and my next story will be a Naruto fic. The good news is that I'll probably make a sequel to this story after I make the Naruto one...yeah.
