Yuki Shuts Up by AmberFox

(Second half of our little special, since we forgot to update for so long. I'M SORRY! FORGIVE ME!)

The Japanese Ratsnake, or the Aodaisho as it is called in it's homeland, is a ruthless predator. It stalks mainly frogs, birds and mice at most times, but prefers birds eggs as a treat as it slithers behind a nearby bush to size up it's pray. Today, it has spotted a common grey mouse beside a tree, eating it's full of cherries with his friends. Usually the Aodaisho would make an easy meal out of such a target but alas this particular snake is an albino, a rarity outside the village of Iwakuni where they are protected by law, and could be easily seen. But thankfully the little mouse, too concerned with eating and communicating with his fellows, does not sense the upcoming danger behind it.

The snake, ever watchful, tests the air with it's forked tongue. Finding no other predator that might steal it's quarry from him, he advances to a different location. Moving swiftly in his tell-tell zigzag motion from one bush to another he continues to move, stopping to check every now and again with his tongue for predators or if his prey has spotted him.

Finding his target nor his friends has seen him, he moves into a better possession on the other side of the tree mere feet from them. Bunching it's coils he then lies in wait, ready for his attack.

Slowly he takes aim, still on the alert if he has been spotted.

Then, he strikes!

"LITTLE YUKIIIII!"

"What the-!"

The snake attacks the head, immobilising it's victims.

"Aya! Let go of my head!"

"But I just want to hug you Little Brother!"

"Get off!"

"Who's this weirdo?"

It then tries to constrict it's victim with it's coils.

"Leggo!"

"That's Ayame Sohma, Yuki's big brother."

"I'm sensing strange waves from him…"

"You would. He is a Sohma after all. Hey! Take that brotherly-love stuff somewhere else! We're trying to eat here, and your gonna squish all the cherries!"

"Good idea, Lucky-Kyo! Come Yuki! Let us bond over tea and Gyoza!"

The Ratsnake gets ready for it's next meal by preparing it's victim.

"If you sensed him in the first place, then why didn't you say something about it!"

"He was trying so hard to hide, it would be a shame to waist such an effort."

"Leave me alone! I'm not going with you!"

"Oh! I understand! How rude of me not to invite your friends along!"

"We're invited too?"

"I don't want to go to a public place with these two! The stupid rat's already causing a scene."

"Of course you're all invited!"

"No! That's not it, you psycho!"

"Ah! You only want me to bring the little princess along! Is that it?"

"Ummm?"

"No, that's not it! I don't want to go with you, period!"

"Oh! You just want to go with Tohru! On a date!"

"That's not what I'm saying!"

"My sweet little brother on his first date! I can just see it now! The candle-lit dinner, the table for two at a secluded restaurant, the violinists, the outfits…"

"Oh dear Gods."

"Are they always like this at home?"

"That damn Shugure always makes it worse. Just be lucky he's not here to back the snake up with his porn ideas."

"Will the sequel come out soon?"

"…? He's working on it…"

"I can just see the wedding bells on the horizon! My little Yuki has grown up so fast!"

"It's not like that! Let me go!"

"If you need help with the wedding night brother I recommend several books 'Gure's written that might give you some pointers! Well… a bit more then pointers hopefully…"

"Ahhhh… Ummmm…!"

"Damn you brother!"

But the mouse, ever wily, manages to free itself from his enemy's grasp just in time…

"Was it really necessary to hit him that hard?"

And escapes!

"Yes."

"The bell will go in about 10 minutes. Why don't we pack up."

"Good idea Miss. Honda."

"Do you think Sohma-san will visit again?"

"I think the question is 'Do you think Sohma-san will ever come back down?'."

"From my experience, the answer's yes. But only when we least expect it."

"I hope he comes again soon. He had nice waves."

"I don't."

(Can you guess who's talking to who? It's easy to tell. If you get confused just ask, I'll tell you in the next chapter, so no worries! By the way, Gyoza is Jap. style dumplings with pork, cabbage, onions, leeks, garlic, ginger. Sake, soya sauce and sesame oil in it. They're actually very nice! See yha! And Review, k?)
