A Note on Censorship: "Hi," Yuki Sohma smiled. "No, the story hasn't started yet. Please be patient. Lihau just wanted me to tell you that, instead of putting swearwords all over the page, she has decided to censor the stupid cat's language."
"Don't call me 'stupid'!" yelled Kyo Sohma. "-CENSORED- mouse! Hey… what's going on?"
"I repeat: Lihau has censored all of the stupid cat's foul language from this page."
"I'm not stupid, -CENSORED- it—whaaaa?! You can't censor me, -CENSORED- it!"
"Too late… stupid cat…"
Thanks Yuki—
"What about me, you -CENSORED- author?!"
—And Kyo. Now, on to the story!
Chapter Six: Run, Kyo, Run
"Get her away, get her away, get her—!!"
"Kyo, my love!"
"AAAAAAHH!!!" Kyo, appearing extremely energetic given the weather conditions, burst into the kitchen, Kagura not far behind.
Scrambling around the room and making a general mess as Tohru, Yuki, Shigure, and Ayame stared, Kyo yelled, "Get away from me, crazy woman!"
"But, Kyo, I—LOVE YOU!!!"
BANG!
SMACK!
"OW!"
WAP!
CRASH!
"AAAH!"
BAM!
…
"Kyo!" Kagura gasped, dropping to her knees and lifting her poor love's head onto her lap. "Kyo, my love, who did this to you? …Yuki-kun! You were fighting him again, weren't you?!"
Head bowed, Yuki wandered out of the room, hands deep in his pockets as he murmured, "I am not related to these people… there was a mix-up at the hospital…"
Accordingly, the ever-gullible Tohru gasped, "Oh, Yuki-kun! Why did you not tell me? N-not that it makes a difference whether you're a Sohma or not…!"
As Shigure, Yuki, and Ayame sweat-dropped, Kyo blinked his eyes open and, once Kagura desperately inquired as to his health, leapt at least five feet straight up into the air.
"GAH! Get away from me!"
"But, Kyo-kun, we must stay close to each other," Kagura reasoned. "We are engaged, after all."
"No we aren't!"
"We are," insisted the boar-cursed.
"Well, then, I'm breaking up with you!" retorted Kyo.
"Ohhh… KYO!!"
-
Thirty minutes, a sprained wrist, half a dozen minor cuts, an innumerable amount of bruises, and one ticked-off Kyo later, Kagura was done, Tohru was horrified, Ayame was dramatically finishing his commentary on the situation, Yuki was still trying to convince himself that he was not a part of the Sohma clan, and Shigure was torn between laughing hysterically and crying over the destruction of the lake house.
As it turned out, he Shigure ended up making an odd sound which mixed together snickering and sobbing. Once he realized that everyone was staring strangely at him, he coughed and fell silent for a moment.
Glancing around, he asked, "What?"
Shaking his head, Yuki turned to Kagura and asked, "What are you doing here, anyway?"
"Well, one or two days ago," the boar-cursed explained, "Shigure told me that he was going on a trip to the lake house with Kyo-kun. I couldn't drive up with you because I had a couple of things to do, but then I cleared my schedule and here I am! Beside my love!" And, arms outstretched, she reached forward to embrace the carrot-top.
"Ack!" exclaimed her love, jumping away. "Try and touch me again and I'm getting a restraining order!" Whirling around to face Shigure, he added loudly, "And if you keep doing stupid things like inviting Kagura to come here with us, you're gonna need a restraining order to keep me away!"
"Do you suppose you could get one that'll keep you away from me, as well?" Yuki mused.
"Shut up," grumbled Kyo, turning around and shuffling off to finally take his nap.
Oh, yeah. He'd beat that Yuki. When the weather was good and the stars aligned, he'd beat him.
Totally.
A/N: Yeah, I know I said I had an idea for this chappie but (cough) it kinda ended up going "pht!" after the first coupla paragraphs. That is why this installment was mega-short. But I still hope you enjoyed it and keep on the lookout for updates:D
