Ayame Shuts Up by AmberFox

(Soooooo sorry! We are late on the second chapter of "Kagura Shuts Up". I've convinced Leyll that some people might want to see what happens to the other zodiac members when someone wants them to shut up… So we're taking turns! Enjoy!)

"… Oh, you should have seen it brother! Paper flying everywhere and the cheers sounded as I became President for a second term. But of course I had to alter something later on, my mind maturing into the stylish and sophisticated man you see before you…"

Thus were the rantings of Shigure's latest house guest, Aya Sohma to his slightly vexed brother, Yuki.

For the first time in his entire life Yuki wanted to be Kyo. The cursed cat had seen Ayame walk up the driveway from his rooftop sanctuary and had taken it upon himself to make himself scarce, like a cat on a hot tin roof.

Well, technically, he was a cat on a hot roof…

Anyway.

"…But then, of course, I had to decline the offer to be auctioned off for charity simply because most of the girls had formed a little fan club devoted to me. So I told them…"

'So that explained the idea of my fan club…' Yuki thought to himself as his brother continued his monotonous description of his life. Yuki sighed. His brother was getting tiresome. One side of the Prince wanted to go into a deep sleep due to Aya's ramblings, and the other just wanted to knock him through the roof. He would have given Shigure a death-glare by now but the dog, thinking that the brothers needed some bonding-time, had decided to set his friend off into one of his famous speeches and exited the room to get some tea.

Over an hour ago.

Almost growling in frustration at being stupid enough to actually believe that his cousin would not take this opportunity to torture him further, Yuki decided to go with his contingency plan.

"Brother," He interrupted Aya's chatter. "Have you seen the latest designs from Paris?"

"My dear little Yuki!" Ayame cried in joy. "You have taken an interest in your older brothers work! I'm so proud!" He stood up, ready to jump over the table separating them, to give Yuki a hug.

"Fuchsia and neon green plad seem to be a hit this year…" The prince trailed, looking at the shock in his brothers eyes. "As well as yellows and purples, I hear."

Ayame stopped in mid-leap as the vision of people in pink and green pladded (spl?) skirts and jackets followed by men in violet and yellow suits with equal design filled his head.


Yuki walked out of the living room and into the kitchen with a small smile on his face. It had worked better then he had planned…

As he poured himself a glass of orange juice in contentment, now that he had prevailed over his battle for sanity, the back door opened and a petite figure with two brown paper bags filled with groceries hiding her face entered, humming to herself.

"Do you need a hand Miss Honda?" Yuki asked in his usual quiet voice.

"Ahhh Yuki!" Tohru yelped in surprise. "I didn't see you!"

"Well, it's hard to see anyone with grocery bags in the way." He said with a little smile. Putting his glass on the kitchen counter he took a bag and began to unpack the contents beside his drink.

"How did your day go with Ayame-san? Shigure-san told me about it when I meet him in town." Tohru explained.

"It was…" He tried to find the right words. "Mind-blowing." He told her with a secret grin.

Finishing unpacking the foodstuffs he then took his drink and headed towards the stairs to his room via the living room, careful to step over Aya's unconscious form.

(REVIEWS! Yay!)

Promise Keeper: Oh! Oh! I know where you seen it before! It was when Kyo told Shigure that Tohru thought he was a stalker! And I'm glad you liked our fic. I can guarantee that Kyo and Kagura will have more 'time' together. HeHeHe...

Aphrodite's-touch/Sugersweetlover: We'll try to make the fic a little bit longer.

Nekoluver: BLAME SHIGURE!

Soul Rider 116: Thanks for the idea, but we have already planned Shigure's 'demise'!

Reibunny: Yes. Yes you are. But that's a good idea though...

Next on our list... Haru!
