Chapter 5: Ayame and Hatori to the rescue!...almost.
Kotori, Utari and Neko sat alone at the table. Tohru was working and Yuki and Kyo weren't very pleased with them getting expelled on their first day. They had gone to find Shigure and told them to stay still until they got back. They sat in silence waiting...but not for long.
"No!! The silence is to much! Somebody make some noise!" Neko cried out throwing herself onto the table. Utari screamed really loud. Neko covered her ears and shot an evil glare at Utari.
"You said make some noise." Utari said.
"I could start another musical!" Kotori pointed out.
"How did you do that exactly?" Neko asked.
"I have no idea...just sort of happened." Kotori fell backwards onto the floor.
"Wish I could've been there." Neko fell over on her stomach. They didn't hear the front door open, nor the sounds of footsteps. Yuki and Kyo went up to their rooms to do their homework. They were going to leave the talking to Shigure. They would come back down later to put in some words of their own. Shigure stopped at one of the living room doors, and thought about what he was going to tell them. Then he listened in on their conversation.
"So, " Utari began, "What are we to do now? We are expelled, and we're not on the best sides of the Sohmas."
Kotori sighed. "Who knows. How are we going to get home?"
"Yeah! Our parents probably think we are dead, but I'm having fun here." Neko turned over and hugged Kotori.
"I'm having fun too. All the guys here are really cute!" Utari squealed.
"Yup! Yuki, Kyo and Shigure are drop dead gorgeous!" Kotori giggled.
"Can't wait to meet more Sohmas." Neko added.
"Yeah but,.....what if we make them mad at us, and the family starts to hate us?" Kotori asked.
"Yuki and Kyo definitely don't like us. Shigure only likes us cause he thinks we're cute. Tohru likes us cause it is impossible for her to hate anyone." Utari sighed.
"We need to stop scaring people." Kotori said. Then Neko's head shot up.
"I have an idea! Let's become like....girls of convenience! Maybe then they'll keep us!" Neko shouted.
"You mean become personal house keepers?" Utari asked.
"Well...kind of. Let's help around here a little more." Neko answered.
"Well I can't clean worth beans in China. Plus we don't how things work around here. We'll probably screw things up more." Kotori said.
All three of them let out a heavy sigh.
"I know! Let's try to break their curse! I know if we do they'll wanna keep us!" Neko declared.
"Yeah! We'll show them we're safe to have around!" Utari said.
"I only hope they come to like us. I don't wanna be kicked out. We don't know how to get back home." Kotori sat up. Shigure smiled at their words. He opened the door and startled them.
"Shigure!" Neko jumped up to hug him but stopped and just waved. Kotori and Utari stood up as well. Shigure held out his arms.
"I like getting hugs and kisses from you. All three of you are cute...but you'll are really nice people as well. Just a little more active, which is a good thing. WE need something to livein things up around here." Shigure winked. Neko smiled and jumped on Shigure and kissed his cheek. "Yes, I'll never get tired of this!" He commented hugging Neko.
"You three don't need to prove anything. Just be yourselves. That is all you need to do." Shigure said standing up. Neko still hung on to his shoulders. "Also......it's good to know that you think that we're cute!" Shigure had a scary grin on his face. They all laughed at him.
"Whatever you say Shigure!" Utari said.
"Well go outside and play around or something. I'm going to talk with some people." Shigure said. He decided not to scold them.
"Ok!" Kotori yelled as she ran out the side door. She started hopping in circles, until Utari ran after her and tackled her. Neko watched them still clinging to Shigure's neck.
"Aren't you going to go with them?" He said lifting Neko up. Neko looked a little sad. " I meant what I said. Yuki and Kyo just need a little more time to get to know you." Shigure smiled. Neko grinned then jumped out the door. She ran till reached Utari and Kotori, then fell over on top of them. Shigure watched them for a minute then he turned around and went upstairs.
"Yuki! Kyo! Can you two come out of your rooms for a minute?" Shigure said in a singing voice. They walked out of their rooms at the same time, glaring at Shigure. He backed away from them. "You two are scaring me."
"What do you want?" Kyo snapped.
"I just wanted to talk to you two about the girls."
"Get rid of them!" Kyo yelled.
"You don't need to be so rude about it!" Yuki said
"What do you know rat boy! You don't get tackled every morning by one of them!"
"You are an idiot!"
"Wait a minute let me talk." Shigure said calming the two down. "I've decided I will let them stay here as long as they wish."
"What!?" Kyo yelled.
"They have no way of getting home."
"Make them walk! They have two feet!" Kyo was getting angrier by the second.
"Where are they from?" Yuki asked.
"That's why they're lost. They don't know were they're from. We don't transform when they hug us, so I don't think they are "the local natives." They don't know how they got here or how to get home. Besides....they're so cute! Especially little Neko!"
"Shigure you sick bastard..." Kyo mumbled.
"Is that the only reason you want to keep them?" Yuki asked.
"No..they really like us. They called you two cute!"
"Every girl at school calls us cute." Yuki pointed out.
"Well these girls you can hug! Anyway, try to get to know them a little better. They want to us to keep them. They even said they would try to break our curse."
"And how did you find this out?" Yuki asked.
"I overheard them talking in the living room."
"You were eavesdropping?"
"No...not really. I didn't scold them about school either."
"Why not?" Kyo asked. Shigure didn't answer him. He headed back downstairs.
"Give them a chance!" Shigure yelled from downstairs. Yuki and Kyo looked at each other, both of them insulting each other inside their minds.
Meanwhile...........
"Let's train out senses!" Kotori said jumping up and down.
"How do we do that?' Utari asked. Kotori reached into her pocket and pulled out a piece of cloth and waved it around.
"With this! I cover my eyes and you two run around. I have to train my senses. Like my hearing, and feeling, and that special sixth sense."
"Ok! Let's make like another game of tag!" Neko shouted
"Ok then...Kotori you are it!" Utari grabbed the cloth from Kotori and tied it around Kotori's eyes. Kotori stuck out her hands and tried to get her senses working.
"Ok I'm good! Let's go!" Kotori said taking off after Neko. Kotori listened to the sound of her footsteps and followed her. Utari jumped into the mix and it confused Kotori. She tried running after two different people. When Utari and Neko went different ways, Kotori ended up chasing Utari.
"Come on Kotori! You're so slow!" Utari laughed. Kotori grinned and sped up. Utari screamed and ran faster. Kotori almost caught up and she could see Utari's heels. "No!" Utari ducked under a tree and ran back towards the house. Kotori listened and heard Utari's change in direction. Kotori changed direction and slammed into the tree.
"Kotori!" Neko screeched and ran to her.
"I'm ok! I'm ok!" Kotori said as she lifted the blindfold off her eyes. Neko dropped to Kotori's side.
"Kotori are you ok?"
"I'm just fine....I'm just gushing blood from my mouth." Kotori spit out some blood.
"I'm sorry Kotori!" Utari yelled lifting Kotori up. "Let's take you back to the house." Both Neko and Utari got on either side of Kotori and helped her back to the house. Utari ran in front of them and opened the door. Shigure was sitting down at the table.
"Oh my...had enough fun?" Shigure asked as Utari walked into the house.
"No...Kotori is hurt." She replied. Kotori walked in with her hand over mouth, and blood dripping down her fingers.
"Kotori!" Shigure jumped up and led them to the nearest sink which was in the kitchen. Kotori leaned over it and turned on the water. She scooped up water and rinsed her mouth out.
"Quick! Neko! Utari! Run to the bathroom and get some rags! I'll call a doctor." Shigure said. Kotori looked up from the sink.
"I don't need a doctor..." She said
"Don't be silly! You're hurt!" Shigure ran away to a different room and Utari and Neko headed to the bathroom. Yuki came downstairs and went into the kitchen. He saw Kotori leaning over the sink.
"Ms. Kotori? What are you doing?" He asked in a gentle voice. Kotori didn't answer him. He walked over to her and saw the crimson stained sink. "What happened?" He lifted up her head and examined her mouth. It was cut on the inside. Kotori smiled. Utari and Neko arrived with some rags. They wet them down then gave the rags to Kotori to put over her mouth.
On the phone.....
"Hari its terrible! One of the beautiful flowers that I found in woods has been hurt! She bleeding very badly! You need to come over to check on her!" Shigure yelled into the phone. On the other end a deep voice replied.
"Ok..which one has been hurt?"
"Kotori."
"Put some ice on her lip, and I'll be over as soon as I can."
"Hurry Hari! She might not make it!" The man on the other line didn't reply. "Hari? Hari?" Shigure out the phone back down and walked back to the kitchen. Kotori was now sitting down at the table along with Yuki, Neko and Utari.
"Are feeling better Kotori?" Shigure asked. Kotori shook her head then nodded. "Hmm...I'll take that as a 'I'm not sure'." He said as he rummaged in the fridge for something to drink.
"So how did you hurt yourself?" Yuki asked.
"She hit a tree." Utari was quick to the point.
"Yup! She was running full speed, and hit it face first!" Neko laughed. Yuki looked confused.
"She was blindfolded. She couldn't see." Utari said. "We were going to train our senses. Apparently Kotori doesn't have good senses."
"Oh.. I see. Well Next time Kotori, try to be more careful." He smiled at her. Kotori smiled back. A few minutes later someone entered the door.
"Hello is anyone home!?" Someone called from the front door. Yuki, who was taking a drink of his water, spit it out all over the table.
"Shigure! Why is he here?" Yuki sounded mad. Then a tall man wearing a red dress and had long silver hair and golden eyes waltzed into the kitchen.
"Oh here is everyone is! Hari! I found them!" He laughed. Utari, Neko and Kotori stared at him, drooling. Neko pointed at him.
"Who.....who be you!?" Neko asked. The man looked to the three girls.
"Oh Shigure! You told me you had three girls over...but you didn't mention they were so cute!"
"It was a surprise!" Shigure answered. "By the way where is Hari?" The man ignored Shigure.
"Hello there! I'm Ayame Sohma! Yuki's older brother. It's an honor to meet you'll at last." He bowed. The girls watched him closely. Then they looked at Yuki who was quickly walking up the stairs. They guessed him and Ayame didn't get along very well. Another man walked in behind Ayame. He was about as tall as him. His hair was dark and his eyes were very mysterious. The girls stared at him.
"Ayame...remember what our agreement was."
"Oh but Hari.....it's no fun being quiet!"
"Welcome Hari!" Shigure put down his cup. "Ladies this is Hatori Sohma. He's a doctor and I invited him over to look at Kotori's injury. Hatori, Ayame, this is Utari, Neko and Kotori."
"It's a pleasure to meet all of you." Hatori said. "Now which one is Kotori?" Kotori lifted her hand. Neko looked over at Kotori. She nudged Kotori's arm. They smiled at each other, then they both darted out of their chairs and jumped onto Hatori and Ayame.
"Yay! More Sohmas!" They yelled.
"Oh..guess I should've warned you two. They are very active girls. And very friendly."
"Yes! And where we come from we greet each other with a kiss!" Neko yelled. Kotori and Neko kissed Hatori's and Ayame's cheek. Ayame was laughing madly and Hatori was very stunned.
"Well if that is true I'm going to leave and come back more often!" Ayame said. Utari got up and walked in front of them. She knelt by their heads and kissed them as well. Neko and Kotori got off of them and let them rise to their feet.
"Back to business. Kotori please have a seat." Kotori sat down and waited as Hatori got out some things from is bag. "Ok open your mouth." Kotori did as she was told. Hatori pulled out a tiny flashlight and looked at the cut inside Kotori's mouth. "It's nothing too serious. Just a small cut." He then mixed some kind of powder into some water and gave it to her. "Drink this and it should help the healing process." Kotori drank the water in the cup, but she didn't swallow. It tasted horrible. She smiled then ran out of the room. They all watched her.
"Well she's in a hurry." Ayame said.
"You know she didn't drink that stuff. She's probably gone to the bathroom to spit it out. She does it all the time." Utari said.
Hatori sighed. "Well I only brought one. As long as it got on her cut." They sat in silence, till Ayame started talking again.
"So where are you young ladies from?"
"Far away." Neko answered.
"Where?"
"We aren't sure." Utari said. "We don't even know how we got here."
"Yes we do! I ran over the gas line remember?" Kotori said as she walked into the room.
"Ah you're back!" Shigure smiled.
"Oh yeah...I remember. At the ranch, you didn't see the gas line and we blew up. Next thing-..." Utari covered Neko's mouth. Hatori, Shigure and Ayame looked at them in puzzlement. Neko and Utari grinned.
"Well I don't care how you three got here! Im just glad you're here." Shigure said.
"Shigure! Do you think it would be so terrible if I were to stay the night to tonight?" Ayame asked.
"I don't think that is a good idea." Hatori said.
"Well I don't mind at all." Shigure said.
"Yeah! Please let him stay! He can sleep with us!" Neko laughed. She and Utari walked up to Hatori with the puppy dog face. Kotori walked over to Ayame and hugged him.
"He can be like a big teddy bear!" Kotori said.
"Hatori you can stay the night too!" Utari said as she and Neko latched onto his shoulders.
"I'm sorry, but I have to get back to Sohma house. They need me mover over there. Ayame.....I'll be back for you in the morning."
"Slumber party!" All three girls cried out with joy.
"I don't think it would be right if Ayame slept in th same room as you three."
"What are talking about Hari? We won't do anything...too serious." He looked at the girls, and hugged Kotori back.
"Plus I will be in there for a while to make sure nothing goes wrong!" Shigure said.
"That also concerns me." Hatori said.
"Yuki and Kyo will shoot us if we do anything, so there's nothing to worry about." Shigure reassured him. Hatori sighed and gathered his things.
"Alright! This will be fun! I'm so glad that I can stay the night!" Ayame laughed.
Hatori put on his coat and wished them all a good night then left. Shigure's stomach began growling.
"Are you hungry Shigure?" Neko asked, hopping over to him and clinging to his shoulders.
"Yes I am." He smiled.
"Well then we'll cook!" Utari said.
Yes! You two go into the living room and we'll start cooking!" Kotori shoved Ayame into the living room, and Neko did the same to Shigure.
"Oh goody! Slumber party and a home cooked meal!" Ayame said sitting down at the table. Shigure joined him and Neko and Kotori disappeared back into the kitchen.
"Lively bunch aren't they?" Shigure said Ayame nodded his head.
"Wow I find it very hard to believe that we don't transform when they hug us." Ayame said.
"That puzzles me too. I so posse that those girls are a mystery. No records, no last name, no origin? They certainly are a bigger mystery than the curse."
"Yes I have to agree, it is a good thing they're cute though. Where did you say you found them again?"
"I found Neko and Utari in the woods by themselves. Kotori came here attached to Kyo. She seems to have a thing for him...and you too. She doesn't smile like that very often."
"Yes well it looks like Neko has a thing for you Shigure."
"She loves to hold onto me. So cute!"
"And what about Utari?"
"Well from what I've heard from Yuki and Tohru, she likes Haru. Which could be a good thing or a bad thing."
"We'll just have to see what happens." Both of them gave each other a thumbs up.
In the Kitchen........
"We need something to microwave." Utari complained. "I can't cook any of this kind of food."
"Let's just make some stuff up!" Neko said pulling out some chicken, and an assortment of vegetables.
"We can do this! We did it at home all the time!" Kotori got some spices out and cooking utensils.
"They'll definitely love us if we cook! The best way to a man's heart is through his stomach." Neko said.
"Cooking in the kitchen!" Kotori sang. All the girls put their ideas together and prepared an exotic meal. Utari took care of setting the temperature and stirring and mixing. Kotori and Neko prepared the food. Almost an hour had passed before the meal the girls cooked was done. Neko and Utari got the dishes out while Kotori went upstairs to get Yuki and Kyo. Quietly she crept up stairs and tapped on Yuki's door. He opened it, and from the looks of things he was doing his homework.
"Uh, me, Utari and Neko fixed some dinner if you're hungry." She said shyly.
"Oh that is nice. What did you cook?" Yuki asked smiling at her.
"Um.. Different things. Some stuff that we remembered from home."
"Ok then I'll have some." He walked passed her smiling, and went down the stairs. Kotori walked up to Kyo's door and knocked.
"What!" Kyo yelled.
"Kyo, we fixed some dinner." Kotori said softly, trying not to get on his bad side.
"I'm not hungry!" Kyo answered.
"Are you sure! We made a really big meal! You haven't eaten since-"
"I said I wasn't hungry!" Kyo snapped.
"Oh," Kotori sounded sad. "Sorry, I didn't mean to make you mad." Kotori turned to walked away, but stopped when she heard a door behind her open. Kyo stood in his doorway, looking frustrated.
"You didn't make me mad. I'll eat something." Kotori's eyes lit up and she was about to jump on him and hug him, but she stopped and just smiled. Kyo sighed and clenched his fist.
"I don't care if you hug me, since that is what you do, but just don't hang on to me." Kotori wanted to hug him, but she took notice of his trembling fist.
"Come eat, and I'll be happy." Kotori turned around and went downstairs. Kyo followed her feeling both relieved and..... guilty.
Kyo froze in the living room when he saw Ayame sitting there.
"What the hell is he doing here!?"
"Oh lucky Kyo! How nice of you to join us!" Ayame said.
"Don't call me that!" Kyo yelled. Ayame looked away from him.
"Oh Utari! Neko! Is dinner on its way?" He called into the kitchen. Neko walked out with their drinks. She set them gently on the table.
"Thank you very much Neko." Yuki said. Neko smiled at him and hurried back into the kitchen. She helped Utari bring out the main dish. Kyo grumbled and sat down beside Shigure.
"Mm...Looks delicious. What is it?" Shigure asked staring at the food.
"It's uhh....chicken. Va Sola Chicken!" Utari said. On the table was the chicken along with some vegetable soup with beef. And some steamed carrots.
"Dig in!" Neko said taking a seat at the table.
"Wait..where's Kotori?" Utari asked.
"I'm right here!" Kotori walked into the kitchen with some glasses filled with yummy deserts. "These are parfaits! A treat where I come from!" Kotori gave everyone a glass. It was filled with chocolate and vanilla pudding, with some whip cream and a strawberry on the top. "And there is another one in the fridge. It's for Tohru..so no one eat it." Kotori commanded. So they all began eating. They enjoyed their meal, no one got poisoned. Their conversation was pleasant. Not much fighting went on. When they were done eating Tohru came home. There was plenty of extra food, and she ate some with everyone still at the table.
"That was very good! Thank you for the food. Maybe you three can help me cook. I'd love to learn some of these recipes."
"Well we'd love to teach you!" Neko said.
"Can you cook any breakfast foods?"
"Well we can cook food that is native to our land. We'll see what we can do."
"Yay! More exotic food!" Ayame said. "Well I'm full, and ready for bed." Kotori began picking up some of the plates.
"Let me help you!" Tohru got up.
"No that's ok. You finish eating. Let me, Neko and Utari take care of the dishes." Kotori said. Tohru smiled and finished eating her food. Kotori dropped off the dishes in the sink, and grabbed Tohru's parfait from the fridge, and gave to Tohru. She ate it happily.
When everyone was done, the three girls finished cleaning up the living room. They moved the table to make room for their futons. The girls had dressed in their pajamas that Shigure had bought them. Ayame soon walked and joined them.
"So you three are really going to let me sleep with you?" Ayame asked. All three girls nodded their heads happily.
"You get to sleep in the middle of all of us! You sleep here! Me and Neko sleep on this side you, and Kotori will sleep on that side!" Utari said.
"I'll be surrounded by three adorable girls this whole night! How lucky can one get. Oh you have to tell me about yourselves!"
"Yes, and you can tell us about yourself!" Neko said.
"What do you think you are doing?" Yuki asked standing in the doorway.
"Getting ready for bed why?" Ayame said.
"Yeah! Ayame is going to sleep with us tonight! You want to join him us?" Utari asked. Yuki choked a little. "It's already been decided!"
"Don't do anything to them!" Yuki said. Tohru walked up beside him.
"Goodnight everyone! I'm tired and need some rest for school tomorrow. Sorry I can't stay up with everyone."
"That's ok Ms. Honda. I can't stay up either. Also I think that silly cat is already up in his room."
"Well I'm going to stay up with them!" Shigure walked over and sat with them.
"Yay! Shigure gets to stay up with us too!" Neko jumped on him.
"Goodnight." Tohru and Yuki said as they headed to their rooms.
"Well let's get this party started!" Kotori yelled.
