Disclaimer: don't I wish! (sob)
And yah… stole the title from "Meet the Parents" and it's sequel "Meet the Fockers". I didn't actually like either of them too much… I just liked the title. Ben Stiller isn't very funny in my opinion (sorry all Ben Stiller fans)
Thanks to my faithful reviewers!
Obob: you TOTALLY deserve it!!!! Yes… Tohruclueless&spacy. And thanks! I actually got that idea (though I changed the wording a hell of a lot) from one of my friends (who I think read it in a Japanese manga, she's Japanese you see) so I can't really take credit… but thanks! Yup. YukixSakura!!!! And it BETTER BE!!!!! I like that story a LOT!!! So if it's not up by Monday… the rabid bulldogs shall attack!!! XD
Emmski: thanks! I'm glad you liked how I listed everyone. It just seemed the best way, ya know? And I'll try!
AssassinedAngel: it does? Oh… sorry. But… domo arigato!! Thank you so much! It is kind of hard to write Kyoru cause I don't favor them… but I really try to make them true to character and just write them like I think Takaya-Sensei would. And I'm sure it would be great! Try putting up a Kyoru fic and see how you do! I promise to review and not cry if you do!
Muffinizer: (runs FAR, FAR away) YEEK!!! Your review scared me!!! Here's some YukiOC and planned Kyoru! Don't hurt me! And thank you! I'm glad you thought that it was the best!
Mayuko-Chan: yay! I had poetry! And OH MY GOSH! Is Sakura a Mary Sue! NOOO!
Mayuko-Chan: phew. Less Mary Sue-ish. And I didn't know whether they ate/drank that stuff since they're always eating onigiri. I've never actually eaten it so I didn't want to write about it.
Mayuko-Chan: SWEET! Best chappie! (so far) And thank you so much! (cries in joy)
Mayuko: (weeps for joy) … thank you so much! I'm glad I didn't overdo it! I was worried I was gonna
Mayuko-Chan: O.o I did? COOL!
Mayuko-Chan: hmmm… I think I may do that. Plot twists are so awesome. And I don't mind short reviews as long as you put nice things in!
I dedicate this chappie to (looks up and debates)… Mayuko-Chan!!!! She gave me my longest ever review I think! And to Emmski too! The first reviewer to my second story! It's called, "After Something Cinderella-ish". It was a humor/romance one shot about Kazuma and Saki, cause we don't have enough of them. Please check it out!!!
Okay… most (if not all) of this chapter is in Yuki's POV. I seem to be doing that a lot… I wonder why…
Chapter 9 Meet the Sohmas"Ok princey, what was so important that we had to leave right after school to go to your house? Normally I wouldn't mind… but Tohru's not even here! What's the deal?" Uo-Chan was exasperated, and rightly so. Yuki had dragged them all to his house after Tohru had left for work and Kyo had left for the dojo, and without any explanation as to why.
"Well… everyone here knows that Kyo and Honda-San love each other right?" he had thought about dancing around the subject, not quite wanting to say it outright… but he decided that if they wasted anytime Shigure might find them. The idiot, I mean, Shigure had gone out on a short trip to "see the city sights". Yuki inwardly sighed. That meant that he was avoiding his editor again.
There was a short and awkward silence, in which he started to doubt his decision to be blunt. Then (to his extreme relief and gratitude) Sakura spoke up.
"Well… yeah. I mean… I've only known you guys for what? A week? And I can tell they're in love. It's pretty darn obvious. I don't know why they don't see it." She said this with her traditional goofy grin.
Yuki looked at her for a fraction of a second longer than he should have, causing her to freak out.
"err… But I'm sure I'm wrong! Or it's just cause you were talking about it… gonna shut up now." Sakura blushed even deeper and slammed a pillow over her face in an attempt to hide it.
"… yes… it is very obvious that Tohru-Kun and Kyo… love each other. But how do I know that he will truly make her happy? If he ever makes her cry or makes her unhappy in the slightest…" she trailed off. Leaving it up to their imagination for what she would do. Little clue, the main part of Sakura's was deadly snake venom, Yuki's was the sudden appearance of Kyo's mangled body, and Uo-Chan's was much more realistic. She imagined that Hana-Chan made him "disappear". For good.
"… well… yes. That, um… would be terrible if he did that…" Yuki was slowly making a tactical retreat to the study to call for backup (anyone was better than no one) when a loud voice boomed out from the front door
"YUKI! It is I! AYAME!!! Your loving and wonderful older brother!"
scratch that
"Oh Yuuuuuuki… where aaaaaaare you? Come out, come out where ever you aaaaare." Yuki began speedily making for the back door (and freedom) when poor innocent Sakura called out
"He's in here Ayame-San!" and turned to Yuki with a hurt look, "you never told me you had an older brother."
"AH! Yuki! It makes the heart warm to see you! And I'm sure that the love for your brother burns brighter than a thousand suns!" he seemed to notice Sakura for the first time, "ah… who is this beautiful young girl I see before me. Could it be…" he lowered his eyelids so they were half closed and romantic looking "Yuki's… lover?"
"EH?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" came from a BRIGHT red Yuki and Sakura.
"NII-SAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GET OUT!!!!!!!!!!"
"umm… no… ah… you see… we were just trying to get Kyo and Tohru together…" she stammered realizing, a bit belatedly, that this was too much information, since Yuki's eye's widened, then squeezed shut in hopelessness.
"eh…?" Ayame seemed startled, and even stopped talking. But, alas, a true silence was too much to hope for, "REALLY?!? Yuki! You didn't tell me you turned match maker! Oh YES! I can see it now…" his eyes shone as he imagined the scene, "Kyo in a black suit with a tasteful red rose in his pocket… and Tohru in a beautiful and innocently classic wedding dress. In her hands would be a bouquet of white and red roses, symbolizing their eternal love…"
(multiple sweatdrops)
"Gettin' a bit ahead of yourself aren't you?" Uo-Chan said smartly, "and who the hell are you anyway?"
"I am… AYAME! I am Yuki's brilliant older brother! I also run a shop."
Sakura's ill chosen question cam next, "What do you sell"
"I sell ROMANCE! I bring men's fantasies to LIFE! No challenge is TOO great! Whether it is a skimpy bunny suit or a man's wedding dress… if it can be imagined… I CAN MAKE IT!!!!" Lights seemed to go off everywhere around him.
(even more sweat drops)
"… m-m-man's… w-w-w-w-wedding dress?" Uo-Chan managed to stutter out.
"YES! Why, when Yuki and Tohru happened to visit me I was modeling that very outfit! It looked very good on me did it not Yuki?"
"You looked like a freak" the blushing rat muttered.
"I bet you would look good in a wedding dress, Yuki. It would suit your hair. If you could get your wife to dress up as the groom… then you could do it."
Yuki whirled around toward the door. An expressionless Haru and a bouncing Momiji were at the door. Only one word had time to cross his mind before Haru's was attached to the front of his shirt (A/N like how it was in book 4 people! No dirty thoughts!) and Momiji was offering Sakura a lollipop. "More?!"
XxX XxX XxX XxX XxX XxX XxX
"AW! Momiji-Chan! You're so kawaii!! I could just hug you all day long! But… that's rude in Japan right?"
Yuki sighed a breath of relief. The introductions had gotten underway. Sakura and Momiji bonded over some strange candy called a "heer-shee-'s choco-late barr". And her new favorite thing to do now it seemed would be to poking him. She said she wanted to see how often she'd have to do it till he got annoyed. Yuki was sure it'd be a while, and said so. But she just said poking people was fun.
And Sakura seemed to completely understand all the strange things Haur said. For example, when Haru had happened to mention that Yuki was his first love (mental note, kill Haru), Sakura had been totally cool. Remarking on how maybe they had been lovers in a past life and they had been reunited in this one. But since each life is different, they both fell out of love. Then she and Haru had this long conversation about past lives.
Ayame on the other hand… Sakura was just plain scared of him. And with good reason. He kept describing all these different cough sexy cough outfits for her and trying to measure her and telling her that she must come to his shop. Of course, Yuki beat his brother to a pulp when one of his hands was "measuring" her chest.
Finally… they managed to get back on topic. They were all still there (to Yuki's extreme frustration) and were lounging around making themselves comfortable.
Finally, Haru had the idea to put bits of paper with ideas on them in a hat and leave it to the luck of the draw.
They all wrote furiously and dropped it into a hat that Uo-Chan had grabbed out of Tohru's room. It was the old orange hat. Yuki's stomach dropped to his ankles when she came down the stairs with it.
Sakura was deigned ruler of the hat, and she mixed them all up and chose one at random.
" 'lock them in a dark room and refuse to give them food or water until they confess… or at least make sure Tohru-Kun doesn't giver her food to Kyo' "
"…"
"eeerrr…" Sakura said, looking at Hana-Chan since it was pretty obvious, "why don't I just see what the others have to say."
" 'get Kyo naked and force him into a small room with Tohru in a sex bunny outfit. And make sure the room has a big bed and plenty of condoms' "
"…"
BAM BAM BEEP (I'll leave it to your imagination)
When Sakura finally drew again (Momiji and Haru's ideas were to give them love potions an Uo-Chan and Yuki hadn't thought of anything) the last slip was, of course, hers
"umm… 'design a love fair in which only couples can enter. And have their fortunes told at various booths and such until they are sure that their futures are intertwined.' " she looked up at them and a dusting or red covered her cheeks, "umm… and I was thinking that since I draw pretty well… that I could "see" their future together. Then they'd think that they almost have to get together, since I "saw" it in their futures. It'll be easier if they can both say "well, it has to happen, so why not now?" "
words came at her from all directions
"That's a great idea Sakura! And can you tell me MY future? Hmmm? Pleeeease!" (Momiji)
"… that's a good idea. I will do one of the fortune telling booths" (resident wave girl)
"GREAT! Now they'll have no excuse! God, it's almost pathetic how obvious they are." (Uo-Chan)
"And OF COURSE you will need special costumes and decorations! I will… for the love I have for Kyon-Kichi… provide my services!" (Ayame… BAM)
"… a love fair, huh? Maybe I can get her to come…" (Haru thinking of Rin)
"That's a brilliant idea Lee-San! I'll bring it up in student council tomorrow. Now I'll be able to have Kyo stop acting all stupid and love sick" (sigh… Yuki…)
"ALRIGHTY THEN!"
