People! Hello! Sorry it's been so long since I've updated, but yes, I have been working on several at once! (The several of which turn out about as funny as a lemon.) But, in any case, this is my K-mart series! … Which counts as a one-shot, but hey! The important thing to remember about these is that they will be popping up randomly through my one-shots. So, they're not going to be in order. Anyways, enjoy!
The Sohma's Trip To Kmart - Tohru, Yuki and Kyo's Adventure!
Prologue
"Ah! Kyo! That's a leak…"
Leak Rice ball sprayed out of Kyo's mouth and into the sink. It was leading up to that day of the year again… the Cultural Festival! And, again, Tohru's class was making rice-balls, and again, Kyo had been caught with a leak one, and, again, he'd screamed his head off.
"Why would you make this stupid thing anyway?"
"Well… well w-we're doing vegetable flavoured rice balls this year, Kyo, so I thought… I thought…"
"Ah just forget it!" Kyo said – trying to drop the subject, but he kept the tone of 'yelling' in his voice. It must have made Tohru feel bad – well, okay, what doesn't make Tohru feel bad? – So she found herself sitting on the other side of the table, leaning her head on the wood trying to get a look to see if Kyo was crying. It was a rather funny way to sit.
"I'm sorry Kyo." She said finally, but not moving her head from the table so it was rather muffled.
Kyo blinked, and moved his head to where she could actually see it – and, well, Tohru raised her head from the table, smiling ear to ear at the orange haired teenager, who was looking uncomfortable in her direction.
"Kyo looks like he has a lot on his mind." Tohru said finally, after a moment of silence, and after she'd studied Kyo's face. "Kyo, you can complain to me if you want!" Her fist hit her chest in a 'I'm so strong – look at me' kind of way, "I don't mind!"
"Well…" But, in the end, Kyo did complain – for three hours even. "And, after all that, my clothes don't fit me anymore – see!"
"Wait. Wasn't that the style of it?"
Kyo sighed heavily. "No, baka, it's to short for me. And we're running out of food." Tohru could have screamed… but she thought for a moment and declared – "This calls for a trip to the store that has everything! K-Mart!"
"Ooooo that doesn't sound fun, doesn't it, Shigure?"
"You read my mind, Aya."
"We simply must go too!"
"I agree, Aya. We must. We must find CHOCOLATES to give to Hari."
Tohru gasped, "What's wrong with Hatori?"
"Nothing. We just want to come." The pair erupted into laughter.
The tag-alongs didn't end there, in the end of it all, all the Zodiac members (from the anime), plus Uo, Hana and Akito were tagging along as well. The trip to K-mart really had turned into a family event.
Clothes Shopping - Kyo's Experience
"Try this one on!" Tohru exclaimed, holding up a black shirt, and thrusting it at Kyo who was already dressed in clothes with tags. It was the dreaded of all the shopping – Clothes shopping.
"Uh…" Kyo couldn't see the difference between this black shirt and the other black shirts that he was trying on, and his skin was starting to cut from all the tags. However, he trusted Tohru's 'girly' instincts, and allowed her to throw some cargos in with it, as well as a neat-o looking hat.
"Did anybody see where Akito went?" Tohru asked after Kyo had gone into the changing room, turning around. They'd been asked by Hatori to mind Akito – who was now on the brink of insanity, and it seemed that they'd already lost him.
"We know where to find him, Miss Honda." Yuki said offhandedly, inspecting the next black shirt that Tohru was going to have Kyo try on.
"He does seem rather attracted to those plastic cups."
"I just hope he doesn't eat to many." Yuki exclaimed boredly, turning to look at her, then looking towards the girl section – boy would he like to see her try on that stuff! (Yes, he was looking at the underwear section.)
Tohru seemed to sense his boredom. "Don't worry, Yuki! We'll have Kyo try on these, and then decide which one we should buy him, and we'll go to the gardening section!"
Yuki's eyes lit up – but he was to busy trying to tell the difference between the black shirts. Like Kyo, he couldn't see the difference, and he couldn't tell if Tohru was a perfectionist, or she was just a girl.
"Ah! There he is! Kyo! You look great!"
Kyo came walking out – a noticeable stain of red down the back of his black shirt, which was full length.
"How do you think he looks, Yuki?" Tohru asked, turning towards Yuki.
"He looks stupid."
There was a silence, and the three of them turned into little white stick figure like people… "Ah! Kyo!"
However, it was to late, Kyo was already on the ground, his face pale – and blood around his entire body.
The moral of this part? Always make sure that when you put on clothes that the tag is outside of the clothes you're trying on.
Gardening Section – Yuki's Experience
Kyo had been revived, and as promised, the trio was now in the Gardening section – at the books. Kyo and Tohru both thought it was the most boring thing in the world, but Yuki seemed to be enjoying himself, reading how to make large potatoes. It was then that Tohru spotted the flower seedlings.
"Wow! How pretty!"
The small things were planted in small black pots, and the colours were so vibrant, that even if Tohru were blind she would have been able to see them. Both Kyo and Yuki turned to look at Tohru, who was bending over, looking at them, but, instead of looking towards the flowers, they fell on Tohru's buttocks, then on each other, than on the ground.
"I'll plant some of those flowers in my garden, Miss Honda." Yuki said, standing up and walking towards Tohru, and bending down with her – this, of course, enraged Kyo.
"Really? Thank you Yuki!" Tohru went starry eyed, and instead of looking at the flowers, her eyes connected with his – and Yuki's head connected with a chainsaw. It seemed that Kyo had been so enraged that he'd found time to find the appliance section, get the chain saw, log it back, and chop Yuki in two. Kyo is really athletic, you know?
Tohru's Experience – Home Section
"Awe! These things are so cute! Look Kyo, Yuki!" Nobody knew how Yuki had come back to life, and nobody really cared. Now, they were doing what Tohru wanted to do – and looking in the Home section of K-Mart.
"Akito should be around here." Yuki commented, still not talking to Kyo – he had killed him after all. (Kyo had had to buy the black shirt that he'd bleed to death all over.)
"Look! They have fish in these cups! Oh… I hope they're okay." Yes, Tohru was raving on about one of those kiddie cups – one with the plastic fish and stars that bobble around in the cup when you shake it.
Yuki and Kyo were too polite to say anything about it, so Yuki said, "Akito should be around here."
"Yep!" Tohru said happily, "I just hope he hasn't devoured K-marts entire stash of party cups."
"That'd be humiliating." Kyo agreed, vomiting at the thought of it.
Tohru simply grinned, and stepped over the vomit.
"I'm sure that he'll be fine."
"… Hey! There he is!"
Yuki and Kyo both looked up – well, Kyo looked up from the floor – Akito was sitting there, in the corner, stroking a pack of 20 party cups with a look on his face that spelt 'love'.
"Uh… Akito…" Tohru paused, noticing that Akito was chewing, and then looked at the shelf that had once held them… empty.
"How many did you eat?" Yuki asked, stopping just behind Tohru, his eyes lowering onto Akito with the usual hate.
"… All of it." Akito said finally, and broke out with laughter.
"Boy is his crap going to be messed up. Does plastic even digest?" Kyo asked, stopping just behind Yuki, and looking at Akito with mild interest.
"Akito. Give… me… the… cups…" Tohru said, walking slowly with her hand outstretched to receive the last packet of cups that Akito was stroking. Akito blinked in her direction, and hissed like a cat, huddling up with his precious cups.
"The cups…" Her hand moved closer. Akito hissed louder.
"… OW! FOR GOD SAKES!" Tohru pulled her hand – or well, her wrist – back. Yuki and Kyo were both speechless – Akito had just ripped Tohru's hand off.
The moral? Never get between Akito and his Party Cups.
Again, this is the first of a saga I'm doing. Next time it's Ayame, Shigure and Hatori's turn! Whoo! Look forward too it!
