Chapter 12 – Momiji's Surprise

Morning came around the corner and everyone woke up to get to the airport. The Neko was first to wake up, since he usually woke up early to run in the morning back in Japan.

He gave a long yawn and sat up to stretch his body. He twisted his neck in a counter clockwise direction and stretched his hands towards the ceiling. He heard his bones crack as he did the washing machine and looked down at Tohru.

He smiled down at her. She looked really cute when sleeping. Her eyelids were gently close shut, and she laid the direction that Kyo was sleeping and hugged onto a pillow really tight. Kyo shook her body awake and kissed her fore head.

"Wake up Tohru; we got to get to the airport."

Slowly, the brunette opened her eyes and looked up at the orange haired teen.

"Good morning Kyo kun." She grinned up at him with her usual silly smile and sat up. "Did you get a good night's rest?"

"Yeah, we better get packing. We need to be down in the lobby in an hour."

"Okay then, I'll take a bath first." Kyo took her head gently with his left hand and lifted it to his face, and gently kissed her fore head again.

"I love you." He smiled down at her went over to his luggage which was hidden under the bed. He took it out and opened it up to check if there was everything before zipping it back up again. He pulled out Tohru's luggage as well and waited for her to come out.

Yuki, not being much of a morning person was still half sleeping when Machi shook him awake.

"Yuki, it's getting late. We have to get ready."

The sleepy gray haired boy slowly sat up and wiped his eyelids awake.
"Good morning Machi, I see you can say my name normally now."

Machi looked like she was going to slap him for saying that, but calmed down when she realized it was a compliment.

"Yeah, I can say it now. Manabe and I are ready, so we're just waiting for you."

Yuki looked up to see Manabe, who was checking to see if he got everything.

"I'll got take a bath then."

Meanwhile, Shigure and the others were already down at the lobby, waiting for the class to arrive.

"Hey Ha'ri did you call Momiji yesterday?"

"Yes, I did. He said everything's ready."

"What's ready?" Asked the two toned haired boy.

"Haru, you will soon see." Shigure replied with s slight grin on his face.

When everyone upstairs was all packed and ready, they took a last look at their suite and closed the door behind them as they took the elevator down to the lobby.

Kyo and Tohru ended up going down the same time with Yuki, Machi, Manabe, Uo and Hana, so there was a lot of conversation that filled the air.

"Congratulations Miss Honda, I'm really happy for you." Yuki commented. "As for you, you stupid cat, you better take good care of her."

"Yeah, yeah I'm taking care of her."

"Congratulations to you too Yuki!"

"Ah yes, I didn't introduce you to my girlfriend haven't I?

"Machi this is Tohru Honda. Miss Honda, Machi Kuragi."

"It's really nice to meet you Kuragi-chan." Tohru extended her hand out, which Machi shyly shook. "It's nice to meet you to Honda-san."

"Hey carrot top, you better take care of our little Tohru here. If you hurt her, you will get it." Uo threatened him.

"What in the world do you guys think I will do to her?" Kyo wondered.

"Ah, there's so much love in the air!" Manabe inhaled the air, making it seem like he'll find love. "Too bad my girlfriend isn't here, that would be one more couple."

"You have a girlfriend?" Yuki nearly exclaimed in shock.

How could she put up with him? He wondered in his head.

"Yupp, it's hard to believe huh? She sure is a cutie; I call her the meat angel."

"Why do you call her meat angel?"

At that time, the elevator 'dinged' to say that they arrived at the lobby. Tohru and the gang wheeled their luggage to where their class was waiting; they were the last to arrive.

"Okay, looks like everyone's here now! So let's go on the bus and to the airport!"

When they arrived at the airport, they repeated the same process they did back in Japan when they were going to Paris. Time just seemed to fly. When they arrived at the gate, everyone was already boarding it.

The seating arrangements were the same in the plane, and there were no problems with their flight. When they landed in Japan, Shigure called the class to attention.

"Okay, I hope you all had fun in out trip! Don't forget that it's Friday today so on Monday, be ready to come back to school!"

The class groaned at the word 'school.'

"You guys also have homework! Write a diary entry on your experience in Japan! I expect it to be complete and ready in class. That's all I have to say to you guys, you guys may now go home!"

"You're not even going to make sure they get home?" Hatori asked.

"Oh, right. You guys better be going home, I'll be calling to make sure you do!" Shigure yelled as the class started to leave that is except for the Sohmas, Machi and Manabe and Tohru and her friends.

"Shigure, Machi and Manabe are staying over our place tonight if you don't mind."

"Ah yes, if you don't mind, Hana and Uo's going to stay over too."

"Good, good. The more the merrier. I actually have something in store for you guys at home." He gave of a grin the seemed evil to the others.

"I don't want to know Shigure." Yuki said as he walked past him to catch up with Hatori, who was going to get he car they left behind in the airport.

When they arrived at home, Shigure rushed to the door and entered it first. He took one look around the room and closed the door again.

"What in the world are you doing Shigure?"

He seemed like an idiot to the others for entering then exiting the house.

"You'll see. Kyo and Tohru, you enter first."

Confused, they walked forward and opened the door. Tohru gasped when she saw what was inside, just like how she did with the necklace. She wore it around her neck right now, and glistened every moment the sun reflected on it.

Inside the room were decorations of pink and red hearts everywhere. There were pink and white strings hanging all over the wall. Heart balloons in the color of orange and pink filled nearly every inch of the ceiling. In the middle of the room, was a table with what looked like a wedding cake. The cake's main color was white and there was pink cream the bordered the edge. Edible flowers in different colors filled every spot of the cake and on the top, instead of having a bride and groom, you had a cat and rice ball. And to top it all off, a banner that said: "CONGRATULATIONS KYO AND TOHRU!"

Tohru nearly cried at all of this, while Kyo wondered what in the world was going on. They were in Paris so there was no way that someone here could have found out about them being together.

"Shigure, explain all of this right now." Kyo demanded.

"Relax Kyo! You see, Momiji didn't come to Paris with us because he was here preparing all of this for you two!"

"But, how did he know about us? Unless, you called him when we were in Paris."

"Don't you see Kyo? This was all set up from the beginning. Ayame, you will do the pleasure of explaining."

"Why yes, Shigure. I will have the honor of doing so. You see, the real reason Shigure accepted the job from Mayu was because he wanted to plan a lesson to hook you two up. When she told him you were studying about Paris, he decided to take the job and schedule a class trip to Paris."

Shigure continued with Ayame was saying. "And then, we decided to room you guys together to hopefully see that you guys have feelings for each other."

Next, it was Hatori to speak. "This brings us to where we are now. Momiji did all the decorations. Long story short, we had a plan of hooking you guys up from the beginning."
After all the explanations, Kyo was both shocked, but at the same time grateful. Tohru reacted the same was and thanked them, as all of them entered the room. When everyone was inside, Momiji popped up from behind a giant teddy bear that was in the corner of the room.

"Congratulations Tohru!" yelled the over excited rabbit. He ran over to her and gave her a giant hug. By now, all the members of the zodiac knew that the curse was broken and was at the house to celebrate. One by one they arrived and once they were all there, Haru, being the DJ, started to play a slow song.

Kyo extended his hand to Tohru and asked her, "Would you like to dance?"

Tohru nodded with pleasure and they danced in the center of the room. All eyes were on them, as they moved with the rhythm of the song. The couple held onto each other tighter, and more couples filled the dance floor, which included Machi and Yuki.

"I love you Tohru." Kyo whispered into her ear.

"I love you too Kyo."

I was so happy, you were laughing

With a smile that melts everything away

Spring is still far away, inside the cold earth,

Waiting for the time to sprout

For instance, even if today is painful

And yesterday's wounds remain

I want to believe that I can free my heart and go on

I cannot be reborn

But I can change as I go on, so

Let's stay together always

Smile only at me and touch me with those fingers

This simple desire is everlasting

I want things to be simple

Let's finally get across this sea of mournful sorrow

For instance, even if today is painful

Someday it will become a warm memory

If you leave everything up to your heart

I understand the meaning our living here

It is to know the joy of having been born

Let's stay together always

For instance, even if today is painful

Someday it will become a warm memory

If you leave everything up to your heart

I understand the meaning our living here

It is to know the joy of having been born

Let's stay together always
