Chapter 6: An Even Busier Day
"Hello my dear children! Come to papa!" Shigure exclaimed outstretching his arms. ((i love when he says that! XD))
Momiji, Haru, Kisa, and Hiro looked at Shigure strangely, he silently moved to the side to let them in, a dazed smile on his face, with this same smile he drifted back to his office, feeling rejected.
They all gathered in the living room waiting for Tohru, who was still in the kitchen washing the dishes with Kyo, or rather having a splashing fight with him. Giggling could be heard from the kitchen and Momiji went to investigate.
Kyo and Tohru were covered in bubbles and drenched from their splashing fight. Momiji started laughing at this sight, Kyo spun around to see the young teen on the floor rolling with laughter.
"Oh! Hello Momiji!" Tohru beamed at the rolling boy
"What are you doing here?" Kyo asked annoyed, just then Haru, Kisa and Hiro joined them, walking into the kitchen and staring at the scene slightly speechless, slightly as Kisa immediately ran to Tohru.
"Sissy!" She ran into Tohru's outstretched arms
"Kisa!" They stayed like that until they felt all eyes on them, for Kyo, Hiro, Momiji ((yes, he stopped laughing)) and even Haru were looking at them, surprised they could stay like that for at least two whole minutes.
"Oh, sorry!" Tohru said sheepishly, blushing, "Hello, Haru, Hiro" Tohru smiled at them warmly.
"Hey Tohru, Kyo" Haru waved in a good mood for once.
"Yeah, whatever." Hiro said not caring about the two 'idiot teens' as he would call them…
"Well, who wants snacks?" Tohru asked brightly
"Ooo! Me me!! I want snacks! Me! Tohru! Me!" Momiji said excited at the thought of food, and Tohru's cooking, no doubt. Everyone else also agreed and sat down to watch Mogeta, and Tohru went to the kitchen to make rice balls, with Kyo assisting her. They bought the snacks out to the living room and sat down to watch as well.
DING-DONG
"I'll get it!" Tohru jumped up before anyone else had the chance. She opened it to reveal a silent Hatori, and flamboyant Ayame.
"Tohru my dear flower! How are you this fine afternoon?" Ayame yelled dramatically, getting the attention of almost everyone in the house.
"I-I'm good thank-" Tohru started, but was cut off by a joyous yell from behind her.
"Aya! 'Tori! I missed you so!" Shigure ran towards them, an anime flower background behind him.
"As did I 'Gure" Ayame also started running towards Shigure, complete with the flowers.
"Uh…" Tohru just sweat-dropped. Hatori sighed and tried to stop this madness.
"You saw us yesterday Shigure." Hatori said as he walked past the skipping idiots, yes they had started skipping…
"Tori that's beside the point! I have gone twelve long hours without my dear friends by my side to 'comfort me'!" Shigure's speech was so dramatic Ayame had to wipe a tear from his eye, "Gure that is so true, I could go no longer without you holding me close!"
"Yes!" Ayame and Shigure gave each other thumbs up
"Ayame, Shigure, stop it, your scaring Tohru." He said pointing to Tohru just standing there, eyes glazed over.
"Oh Tori you worry too much, you might make yourself sick! Come into my office and have a rest…" Shigure said seductively dragging Hatori along to his office, Ayame skipping behind them.
"I doubt I'll get any rest alone with you two…" Hatori said trying to get away from Shigure.
"Oh Ha'ri you read my mind!" Ayame said, then turned to Shigure and did their secret thumbs up thing again before walking, dragging and skipping into Shigure's office.
"Oh-Uh…I'll go make some tea then." Tohru concluded and walked to the kitchen. Kyo saw this, rolled his eyes, and got up to join Tohru. He quietly walked, trying not to make a sound and reached the doorway, he decided to just watch her work with that cute smile on her face. When she'd finished she finally turned around to see Kyo leaning on the door frame watching her, she jumped in surprise, but didn't drop the tray, she did however manage to splash her hand with the boiling hot water.
"Ah! Hot! Hot! Ahhh!" she screamed as she quickly put the tray down and ran to the sink. Kyo, worried that he was the cause of her pain, was by her side in a flash, running the cold water over her hand and dabbing it with a towel. He looked up at her face and saw tears in her eyes, and she was holding them back, biting her lip.
"How much does it hurt?" Kyo asked while he continued to run the water over her hand. Tohru looked up at him "A lot…" she sniffled. He turned the tap off and wrapped the wet towel around her hand, while he went to the freezer to get an icepack.
"You know, you can cry if it hurts that much." Kyo said returning seeing the tears build up even more. Tohru looked up at him and then started to cry, holding her hand to her body protectively. Kyo walked over to her and put the icepack on her hand, he lifted her chin up and wiped her tears away with his thumb.
"It's okay Tohru, just let it out…" he said pulling her into a hug. She cried into his shirt and he stroked her back. "…let it all out." he whispered into her hair. After all her tears were gone, she looked up at Kyo and touched his cheek lightly with her uninjured hand. "Thank you Kyo" she whispered and stood on her tip-toes, her face now inches from his, "thank you so much…" her breath tickled his nose, he leaned down and closed the gap between them, his lips brushing hers in a sweet kiss.
-----------------------------------
Shigure and Ayame closed the kitchen door quietly
"See? Isn't that just the cutest? Ah young love…so sweet, so innocent, so-"
"You do know you're the most perverted thing to walk this earth." Hatori said coldly as he walked past the two gayest things in the house, in both meanings.
"Ha'ri! How did you get out of my office? I thought Aya and I secured you there." Shigure pouted. Hatori looked at him as if he were a stupid animal.
"Shigure, you tied me up with leather."((O.o)) Hatori glared at him and then continued walking joining the younger Sohmas.
"Well I thought I did a good job of tying him up." Shigure continued to pout
"Fear not Gure, you always do a fantastic job of tying me up…" Ayame smiled seductively at him.
"Oh! Aya!" Shigure began skipping again
"Gure!" Ayame joined him.
"Yes!" they both yelled with their thumbs up.
--------------------------------------
'Must get away! Must find somewhere to hide!!!' Yuki was running, dragging Machi along, trying to get away from Manabe.
"Oh Yun-Yun!! Where are you?" he called through the streets, looking for the blushing couple he just had interrupted.
"Machi? Yun-Yun? Where are you?" Manabe called walking through the park. 'Where did those two ge-'
"Oh" Manabe had indeed found them; they were sitting under a tree making out, completely oblivious to their surroundings.
"AHAHAHAHAHA!!" Manabe couldn't stop laughing at the sight before him. Finally aware of what was going on, Yuki and Machi broke apart and blushed furiously.
"Yun-Yun and Machi sittin' in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N--OW!" Manabe started singing but was stopped when Yuki's fist collided with his head
"Will you just shut up?" Yuki asked helping Machi up and then walking away while Manabe recovered.
"Hey love-birds! Wait up!" Manabe yelled at the retreating couple. This is when Yuki started running.
Yuki and Machi finally arrived back at Shigure's house and ran inside. Manabe was close behind them and puffing as he reached the door.
"Hey Yun-Yun why did you run away?" Manabe asked a now shocked Yuki, he looked in the direction Yuki was staring and immediately became exceedingly happy.
"Commander!" Manabe yelled as he spotted Ayame.
"Manabe! Yuki my dear brother, how I missed you!" Ayame exclaimed now crushing the shocked Yuki in a hug.
"…" Machi just stood there, looking around the room.
"Oh- and who is this wonderful girl Yuki?!" Ayame said finally releasing Yuki to go and torment Machi; well he called it 'introducing himself' but Yuki thinks of it as torture.
"This is Machi, Yun-Yun's girlfriend, I saw them-" Manabe started but Yuki started to pummel him before he could reveal anymore secrets his brother would yell to the world.
"Yuki's girlfriend? My, My Yuki! Why didn't you tell me?" Ayame started going off in one of his rants and Shigure decided to join him, while Manabe was watching, listening and putting in his two cents when he felt it necessary.
Meanwhile Yuki and Machi were quietly edging away from the three crazy idiots and into the kitchen, where they found Tohru and Kyo cooking happily.
"Oh, hello Yuki, Machi, how are you? I didn't expect you guys home so early." Tohru asked brightly while checking the rice.
"We're fine thankyou, we decided to come home for lunch, I hope it isn't an inconvenience." Yuki replied
"Oh no, it's fine, most of the other Sohmas are here as well, they're in the lounge room if you want to see them." Tohru said pointing in the direction of the lounge room.
"Oh really? Well I might just do that" Yuki said heading in that direction, gently grabbing Machi's hand and pulling her along.
Tohru sighed watching them leave. "It's so nice to see Yuki-kun happy" Kyo looked up from the vegetables he was chopping. "It's nice to see you happy too." He smiled and wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her into a warm embrace. "I love you" he whispered into her ear, she giggled "I love you too" She whispered back, she could stay like that, in his arms forever, but now lunch needed to be made. She pulled back and slowly turned back to the rice cooker, Kyo regretfully let go and also returned to the cooking. Every now and then he would affectionately bump into her or brush her hand while reaching for something, just to see her cute blush, or hear her giggle.
They eventually finished lunch, but Tohru had insisted they cook a feast to fill the hungry tummies, so there was more than enough food to feed everyone present. Luckily it didn't go to waste as Rin, Kagura, Ritsu, Uo, and Hana also arrived, the Sohma's claiming they needed to consult Shigure about something, and Uo and Hana because Hana had picked up some distressed waves from Tohru earlier. So lunch was with all the Sohmas, except for Kureno (much to Uo's disappointment) and Akito (much to everyone's relief), Machi, Manabe, Uo, Hana, and Tohru, the cook of the large feast.
After much eating, arguing, taunting, and laughing, everyone was full of Tohru's delicious food and basically passed out in the lounge with the TV on some random station nobody was actually watching. This is how it looked; The Mabudachi trio and Ritsu were actually in Shigure's office, Rin and Haru were lying on the couch together, Kisa and Hiro were on the rug lying next to each other chatting away, Yuki and Machi were curled up on the recliner, Manabe and Momiji were playing a game of 'Guess Who' Kagura cheering Manabe on, Uo and Hana we're playing cards, and Kyo and Tohru we're cleaning up in the kitchen. This was how Shigure's house was on that warm lazy summer afternoon, at peace for once.
