Yay, all the more randomness! This challenge was submitted by my brother, Matty (don't worry danxi123; I'll get around to yours). This is what he wrote: I challenge you to write a story about if Kyo gets locked in the closet by Yuki, while Tohru goes on a (what turns out to be a) date with him. He completely forgets to let Kyo out. Meanwhile, Shigure actually meets a dead line and Mitchan is so happy! Thanks for the challenge Mattykins! Shigure, actually meeting a deadline…this COULD be a challenge!


It was a very odd day in Shigure's household. A very odd day indeed. For once, everyone in the house was feeling unexplainably happy and energetic. Like, really energetic. Scary happy. Tohru didn't act any different, she was always so cheerful, but everyone else…Well, this is how it all started.

Yuki yawned, smiled, and jumped out of bed. Happily, he strode down the hall to the kitchen.

"Good morning, Miss Honda!"

"Morning, Yuki!" she replied merrily. Yuki sniffed the air enthusiastically.

"Something smells delicious! What's for breakfast? Never mind, whatever you make is sure to be wonderful!"

"Oh, t-thank you," she stammered, taken quite off guard. Yuki seemed in a particularly good mood this morning.

"GOOD MORNING WORLD!" came a loud yell from upstairs.

"Oh, that must be Kyo," said Yuki smiling. "He's so full of energy sometimes."

"Are you feeling okay Yuki-kun?" asked Tohru in concern. Obviously something was seriously wrong with him. He just laughed.

"Of course! I've never felt better!" At that moment, Kyo bounded down the stairs.

"Yuki!" he cried at the sight of his cousin.

"Kyo!" Yuki yelled with equal excitement. "Come here, man!" Yuki and Kyo ran towards each other and hugged. Tohru gasped and ran up the stairs to Shigure's bedroom.

"Shigure, there's something horribly wrong!" Shigure looked up, startled.

"What's the matter?"

"Yuki and Kyo are…hugging!"

"That's odd," said Shigure. "But at least they're not breaking my house!" He looked back at his computer. "Excuse me Tohru, but I must get back to my work now."

"Y-you're working?!"

"Of course, silly!" he said laughing. "How do you think I pay the bills?"

"But…but you never just work! You always torture your editor!" Shigure looked at her thoughtfully.

"I suppose so," he mused. "But today, I happen to be in an unexplainably happy and energetic mood. Might be that new spice I gave to you to use last night." Tohru ran down to the spice cabinet to find out he was right. 'HAPPY SPICE' read the label, 'THE SPICE THAT MAKES YOU FEEL UNEXPLAINABLY HAPPY AND ENERGETIC'.

"Ah, that explains it…" she said. She threw it away. Despite how happy the guys were, it was kind of scary.


Back downstairs, Yuki and Kyo were sitting together at the table. Yuki looked at Kyo.

"Hey, maybe since Miss Honda's so busy, we could help her out!"

"Great idea!" Kyo looked around. "So…where do we keep the food?"

"Hmmm," said Yuki thoughtfully. "Maybe…in the pantry?"

"Great idea! I'll go look!" Kyo bounced into the pantry and began to look around. "Yeah, there's food in here!"

"Yuki? Kyo?" Tohru called from down the hall. Yuki leaped up so fast, he accidentally closed the pantry door.

"Yuki?" came a confused voice from the pantry. However, Yuki did not hear him in his haste to get to Tohru.

"Tohru! Let's go out somewhere!"

"Um, alright," said Tohru carefully, deciding to humor him. "Where should we go?"

"The movies, the movies!"

"Okay Yuki, lets go!" she said.


Shigure was busy like a beaver. He worked so hard, he finished his entire book in an hour. He called Mitchan up right away.

"Hello, Mitchan!"

"Shigure! What are you doing?! You're supposed to be writing?"

"I finished! Yay me!"

"You're finished?! That's gre…wait. You're just trying to trick me again!"

"No, Mitchan, I swear, I finished."

"Fine, I'm coming over to see. But no journey's, got it?!"

"Yes, Mitchan!" Shigure hung up the phone and frowned. "Boy, why is she so suspicious of me?"

WARNING: USING HAPPY SPICE MAY CAUSE TEMPORARY MEMORY LOSS


Tohru and Yuki were on their way back from the movies. Yuki was silent, thinking about his day. On the way there, Yuki had tripped and ripped his pant leg. He got in a fight with a squirrel over a shiny rock, and the squirrel won. He had forgotten his wallet at home, and so Tohru had ended up paying for everything (although she had assured him it was no problem). He got hit on by about 3 guys who thought he was a girl in the lobby. When the movie started, an annoying kid in the seat behind him kept kicking the seat and random rats from the theater kept coming in and climbing on him. To top it all off, after the movie was over, he had gotten kicked out because some guy had thought he was a girl in the guy's bathroom.

Needless to say, he was no longer in a good mood.

"I'm sorry, Miss Honda," he said apologetically.

"Oh, nothing to be sorry about," cried Tohru earnestly.

"I felt really odd today. What was that about?" Tohru admitted to Yuki about the misunderstanding with the Happy Spice. When they walked into the house, Kyo had just finished extracting himself from the pantry by punching down the door.

He wasn't in a great mood either.

"Damn rat!" he shouted, running towards him. Yuki punched him and sent him flying back into the pantry. When they got upstairs, Shigure was being worshipped by his editor.

"Shigure!" Mitchan cried in tears of joy. "Why? How?" Yuki walked in silently and hit the delete button.

"Hey!" cried Shigure.

"Never again…"muttered Yuki. "Next time, check the label, moron."

"Shigure, please tell me you have a backup file!" screamed Mitchan. Shigure shrugged and decided it was time for a nap. With the effects of Happy Spice gone, this Sohma house was back to normal…except the pantry had a hole in it.

The-end


So, that was extremely weird response. Um…yeah, it's weird. Oh, and Happy Spice is not supposed to be a drug, it's just a weird spice that makes you happy. Thanks again Matty!
