ACGOMN: Thanks for all the reviews people. At least I know some people like the story. If is seems that I'm rushing it, believe me I'm not and the romance won't come full force for another chapter. This is a Uotani and Yuki centric chapter.

Getting Together

Chapter 5

By:

A Crazy Girl Of Many Names

It was a beautiful Wednesday morning and our loveable group of people are in class enjoying the joys of learning. Yeah, right. With the younger two Sohmas of the group in a different class, English to be precise. Haru was spacing off, thinking a of certain goth girl and their upcoming date. Momiji actually paid attention, because he knew his cousin wouldn't be paying attention. He would wind up letting Haru borrow his notes.

In the older students classes, they were in math class. To be more precise pre-calculus. (A/N: If I have to take this class instead of a precious history class, they got to take it too.) Yuki and Tohru as usual were taking notes and paying attention. Hanajima was bored and attempting to take notes, but her upcoming date with Haru was occupying her mind instead of pre-calculus. Kyou ignored what the teacher was saying, knowing someone would help him later. Uotani as usual was spacing off and not really caring.

After some time, it was finally lunch. They all had no idea how they made it half way through the day. So, the Sohma boys and the three girls met at their usual spot outside near some trees to avoid teachers and fangirls. Yuki, Uotani, and Momiji definitely were probably getting sick to their stomachs because of the two blossoming couples. Not they were doing anything inappropriate, but their staring at each other then turning away with a blush on their faces annoy the hell out of the three.

"I think I'm starting to get sick," mumbled Momiji.

"Maybe I shouldn't eat lunch today," grumbled Uotani.

"I agree," grumbled Yuki.

"Well I want to eat, so I'm going off to the cafeteria to eat, you coming," said Momiji.

"I don't think I can eat," said Uotani, dramatically.

"I don't want any food right now. Thank you anyway Momiji," said Yuki. Momiji nodded and bounded off to the direction of the cafeteria.Momiji got some food and ate it without a second thought. On his way back to the spot with the others, he walked pass the group of Yuki's fangirls.

"Yeah, and I heard that the witch and one of the Prince's cousins are going on a date," said one the girls.

"Ooo, which one?"

"The one with black and white hair."

"So out of Honda's friends the Yankee is left. We should find a way to get her with that other cousin of Prince Yuki's. The blonde boy that wears the girl's uniform with that Yankee. Then the Prince will be ours." Momiji's eyes widened when he heard that. He simply ran back to the spot to inform Yuki and Uotani of what Yuki's crazy fangirls were planning. By the time he got there Momiji was out of breathe. The two couples, Yuki and Uotani saw that Momiji had returned, but what surprised them was how worried he looked

"Momiji what's wrong," asked Tohru.

"Yuki's fangirls," said Momiji through his deep breaths to get air into his system.

"Momiji calm down and breathe for a moment then tell us," said Uotani, giving the younger boy some water. After a few moments, he was ready to talk.

"Yuki your fangirls are up to no good," said Momiji.

"They didn't jump you did they," asked Yuki, rubbing his eyes.

"No, but now that Kyou and Tohru are together and now Hanajima and Haru are together they are plotting to get you Yuki or something like that," said Momiji.

"Why are you so worried," asked Yuki, "That's what they always done."

"Yeah, but now their plans involve me and Uotani-san," said Momiji. Uotani narrowed her eyes. Yuki sighed. Hanajima looked like she was going to shock someone. Tohru gasped. Kyou and Haru eyes narrowed as well.

"What are they planning on doing," asked Yuki.

"Well, they think now to get you to themselves that they are going to set up Uotani-san and I as a couple," said Momiji. Uotani cringed. Momiji looked offended for a moment.

"It's not that you aren't cute, but you really aren't my type," said Uotani. "Plus, you are like annoying little brother."

"Well, that's not good," said Kyou, "That sucks for you."

"What to do," pondered Momiji for a moment.

"Why don't Uo-chan and Yuki pretend to date, maybe that'll scare them off," suggested Hanajima. Everyone stared at her with blank looks.

"I don't want to be killed by a bunch of crazy fangirls," said Uotani, shaking her head.

"I already had a girlfriend, Machi remember," said Yuki, "They didn't back off then either." Bringing that up hurt. She moved away and called merely a few days later saying that she met someone else.

"Oh come on. It's seems the only way," sighed Haru. "Unless you want to date Momiji and leave Yuki to fend off the psychos." Uotani sighed and did pity the girly man with all his fangirls.

"Alright, but we have to make it look realistic," said Uotani, agreeing.

"I have a plan," said Yuki, "After school a few members of my fan club come to the student council meetings, so when they are about to show up I'll ask Uotani-san out."

"Seems reasonable," said Haru. "Eh Yuki you should do the asking in an over romantic way like with flowers." Note self embarrass Yuki for revenge.

"Where do you suppose I get flowers," asked Yuki.

"The school store has some fresh ones delivered everyday," said Tohru. Haru grinned and patted Yuki on the back.

"There problem solved," said Haru.

"Yeah," said Yuki. The rest of the day went seemingly slow for Yuki and Uotani. They were either dreading the afternoon or waiting impatiently for it too come. Kyou and Tohru left right after the bell rang. Tohru had to go to work and Kyou wanted to walk her there. Hanajima was escorted home by Haru and Momiji. Momiji only went because he knew Haru would get lost on the way home from Hanajima's house. That left Yuki and Uotani to go do the student council duties. It seems that the meeting went smoothly and without any interruption. The others left right after they found that they had no more work to do. Uotani stayed a bit longer, of course and so did Yuki.

"There isn't much more for me to do with the budget. That Machi girl did a good job with it," said Uotani, momentarily forgetting it was a soft spot for the Prince of the school. "Oops sorry to mention her."

"Ah, no need. I really over her now. It just hurts because I thought she was the one," said Yuki. "Well it's about time for them to come barging into the room declaring their love for me or something."

"Right," said Uotani. As if on cue about five girls were about to barge in when they spotted Uotani. Time to spy for them. They had the door open slightly with each of them peeking in. Yuki and Uotani sweatdropped. Did they really have to be so obvious?

"Uo-chan," said Yuki, using her nickname instead of his normal Uotani-san.

"Yes, Yuki," said Uo.

"Well, you see for some time now I have be feeling strange around you. It's the good kind of strange though. Would you do me the honor of joining me on a date?" It took all of Uotani's will power not to crack up laughing at the corny statement. I hope he really wouldn't ask a girl out like that.

"Of course Yuki," replied Uo. Yuki shyly handed her the flowers and she gratefully accepted them.

"This weekend then," said Yuki.

"Yes," said Uotani. Outside with the fangirls, they had a shock on his face. They were all pale and ran back to tell the others. When Yuki and Uo knew they were out of ear shot.

"Do you think it worked," asked Yuki.

"It better have," said Uotani. She then grinned. "So were are we going for our date?" Yuki smiled.

"Well this really nice restaurant with good food," said Yuki.

"Cool. Good food and some good company. Now that's good," said Uotani, not realizing she complimented Yuki. Yuki had a light blush on his face. For some reason he couldn't wait for the weekend.

"Shall I walk you to work then," grinned Yuki.

"Well sure," said Uotani. Man, were they going to have fun being a couple. Later that evening when Yuki was home, he was quiet. Too quiet for Kyou's liking. Nothing seemed to get him out of his good mood and that pissed Kyou off. When Shigure and Tohru were out of the room, Kyou tried to get a rise out his cousin.

"Oy, damn rat why the hell are you so happy," asked Kyou.

"None of your business," replied Yuki.

"Didn't you have to ask Uotani out this afternoon on Hanajima and Haru's plan," asked Kyou.

"Yeah and," asked Yuki, now getting annoyed.

"Oh wait don't tell me you are starting to crush on Uotani, not that she's bad looking or anything," started Kyou. Man, Hanajima's shocks must be getting to him. He would have never called Uotani not bad looking. Hana's doesn't take to well to insults of herself and of her friends.

"As I said before it is none of your business," said Yuki, starting to get a light blush on his face. Kyou grinned like a cat and knew this was going to be fun.

"Well it seems Prince Yuki has fallen for the Ex-Yankee thug," said Kyou.

"Shut up," snapped Yuki. Is he actually right? Am I falling for Uotani-san?

"Ooo, a touchy subject," taunted Kyou.

"Okay that's it you stupid cat you are going down," said Yuki. Tohru came in to spot Yuki and Kyou fighting again. She sighed and hoped neither one would get hurt. And as usual it was Kyou who went flying threw one of the paper doors.

"Hey, who's fixing that," said Shigure, popping his head out of his den, if you could call it that. Yuki smirked and pointed at Kyou.

"Ah, you stupid rat," yelled Kyou, from the ground.

"Kyou would you please refrain from destroying my house," sighed Shigure. Kyou glared at both Yuki and Shigure. "And Tohru-kun don't even think about helping him." Tohru sighed and nodded. Just another normal day living with the Sohma's.

ACGOMN: Well, I think this chapter was nicely done. I hope you look forward to the first dates and some jealously in the next chapter. Please review.
