BUT HE'S STILL MINE!!!!!!!!

Sup!!!PLEASE READ THE BELOW!!!

Welcome to Chapter Five yall! FINALLY!!!

I might as well let yall know now… for the next month; I might not be able to work on this story AT ALL! Why? National History Day…I have only a few weeks to put together a board and present it to the officials. If I advance, then I have to work even longer! It's a great opportunity, but it is boring, and does take a lot of time and effort…

So…sorry if I can't update for a while…

By the way, THANK YOU! To ALL the peeps that reviewed for me!!! I really appreciate it!!! You guys REALLY keep me going!!!

But anyways…hope you like this! I kept laughing while I wrote the first part…which means it'll probably sound stupid to everyone else…. sigh…a writer's mind is a strange place…I mean, seriously. I have visions all the time of Tohru fighting and having these special powers! It's CRAZY!!! I might have jumped around a bit though…I'm feeling really rushed…I've got homework to do….

By the way…if this chapter seems pointless, don't be afraid to flame me…. I probably deserve it…. sad face

Chapter FIVE!!!

"Kaze!" Tohru cried, rushing to her brother's side and drying her hands on her yellow colored apron.

"What?!" Kaze retorted, taking off his oven mitt and setting it aside on the counter. "It's not THAT bad…" he said, putting his hands on his hips.

"What the hell is that?" Kyo asked rudely as he entered the kitchen. He joined the siblings and stared at the (ahem) "wonderous" creation. Cough

"It's an omelette!" Kaze said proudly. Tohru and Kyo both gave him a strange look.

"But, Kaze…it's burnt black…and it's runny…" Tohru told him softly. Indeed…it WAS quite appalling.

"Oh please…you are all just intimidated by how good of a chef I am!" Kaze said. "I bet when you taste it, you'll cry from joy!" He went over to the silverware drawer and got out a fork. "Here, I will be the first to taste this wonderous creation!" he said. He stabbed the so-called "omelette" with his fork and brought a small portion to his mouth. Tohru and Kyo stared, as he tasted it. Suddenly, Kaze's face screwed up and he quickly ran to the sink and spat out the food. Tohru burst out in laughter and Kyo just shook his head in disgrace.

"Shut up Ruru!" Kaze shouted, embarrassed. He strode over to the counter and grabbed the omelet. He returned to the sink and promptly dumped the disgusting food down the drain. He turned when a small ding was heard.

"Ah! It's done." Tohru said, walking over to the stove. She pressed the off button on the timer and removed the pan from the burner. She lifted the lid slightly, letting the warm, sweet aroma of miso soup radiate throughout the room. Kyo and Kaze headed for the dining room and joined Yuki and Shigure. Tohru entered and set the pot of miso in the middle of the table. She then returned to the kitchen and brought large plates of grilled fish, pickled vegetables, and sushi rice. Kaze looked over the food as Tohru served it. Suddenly, he cried out, making everyone jump.

"ARGH!!! I SUCK AT COOKING!!!" he cried, putting his head in his hands.

"Aint that the truth." Kyo said quietly, picking up his chopsticks. (ME: snicker)

"Kaze, I'm sure you'd be good at it if you worked at it." Tohru said supportively, tying her hair back.

"It's no use…I'll never be as good as you!" he cried. "I'm so embarrassed!!!"

"Will you stop your complaining and just eat the damn food!" Kyo yelled, suddenly angry. Kaze sat straight up and glared at him. Kyo returned the glare. Finally, Kaze picked up his chopsticks and began to eat.

"MMM! Tohru! This is delicious! If I didn't know better, I'd say you're better than mom was!" he said, smiling at his sister. Tohru blushed.

"I'm not that good a cook Kaze," she said softly.

"Well you're definitely better than my girlfriend." Kaze said. Tohru chopsticks fell from her hands and her jaw dropped in surprise.

"Girlfriend!" she cried, totally shocked.

"What? I didn't tell you?" Kaze asked, tilting his head to one side.

"No, you failed to mention that." Tohru replied, regaining her composure and picking her chopsticks back up.

"Oh, well, sorry. I've got a picture if you wanna see her." Kaze said, reaching in his back jeans pocket. He drew out a small black wallet and after digging around in it for a moment, brought out a small picture. Tohru leaned over the table and took it from him. It was a picture of a woman, probably about 20. She had beautiful blonde hair, bright blue eyes, and a gorgeous smile.

"Wow. She's pretty." Tohru said, returning the picture to Kaze. He smiled and stuck the picture back in his wallet.

"Yeah. I met her a year ago at a shopping market in town. Her name's Alyssa, and she's an aspiring nurse." Kaze said, reaching over and stabbing another grilled fish with his chopsticks.

"She sounds nice. I'd like to meet her." Tohru said.

"I'm sure you'd like her. She's a lot like you." Kaze said, taking a sip of his tea.

"Well, I'm glad you're happy, brother." Tohru said, giving Kaze a smile.

"So what about you sis?" Kaze asked. Tohru jumped.

"Me?"

"Yeah. You got yourself a boyfriend yet?" Tohru blushed.

"No! I mean, I just haven't found a guy yet." Tohru said.

"But what about that kid from down the street, that Ryoga guy? Wasn't he sweet on you?" Kaze asked, grinning at how embarrassed his sister was. He didn't notice that all three Sohmas were staring over at the two of them.

"He moved about a year after you did." Tohru said, nervously brushing a strand of hair from her face.

"Awwww…that's too bad. So no boyfriends yet?" Kaze asked again.

"No brother." Tohru said, giving him a stern look.

"GEEZ sis, you need to get on with it!" Kaze said, fighting hard to keep a straight face. "If you wait, you'll probably end up some poor 40-year old virgin."

(ME: AHAHAHAHA!! SORRY!!! I just HAD to put that in!!!! )

"Kaze!" Tohru cried, her face turning beet red. Kaze erupted in laughter, while his sister stared at her food in embarrassment.

"Naw, I'm just messin' with you." Kaze said, returning to his food. The meal continued in silence for a while. "Hm. So Tohru." Kaze said.

"Yes?" Tohru replied, looking over at her brother.

"Did you look outside yet?" Kaze asked.

"No, why?" Tohru asked.

"Perhaps you should." Kaze said slyly. Tohru raised one eyebrow and got up. She headed to the front door and opened it. Kaze smiled when he heard a soft gasp. Tohru quickly returned to the dining room, her face beaming.

"You know what that means…" Kaze said softly as Tohru sat back down.

(Later)

"Ready to go Tohru?" Kaze asked, zipping up his black winter coat. Tohru nodded and hurriedly tied her shoes. "Alright. Are you guys coming?" Kaze called. Kyo and Yuki appeared, already wearing their coats.

"Common Kaze!" Tohru said, her face beaming. She opened the door and she, her brother, and the two Sohmas stepped outside into the winter wonderland. Tohru smiled. It was so beautiful. Everything was covered in snow, glistening brightly in the early morning sun. She closed her eyes and breathed deep. Suddenly…

WHACK!!! Tohru was abruptly jolted back to reality as a cold hard snowball collided with her face. She yelped and abruptly scraped the snow off her face. She looked around and spotted Kaze in the yard, already preparing another snowball.

"Kaze!!" she cried, reaching down and scooping the snow into a ball. She stood up and dodged her brother's attack, pelting her snowball at him. It crashed into his shoulder and he staggered back. Then…all war broke loose. Tohru ran and hid behind a tree as Kaze chased her, laughing her head off. She threw another snowball at him, hitting Kaze squarely in the face. Kaze gasped and chased after his sister. Meanwhile, Kyo and Yuki were having there own battle…

"Damn rat! Today is the day you die! Today I WILL beat you!!!" Kyo yelled, throwing snowballs so fast that it looked like a blur. Yuki sighed.

"You stupid cat..." he said, nimbly dodging Kyo's attacks. This continued until Kyo was panting from exaughstion. At this point, Yuki scooped up as much snow as he could carry, walked over to Kyo, and promptly dumped it on his head.

"ARRRGH!!!!" Kyo cried as he became buried.

"Kyo! Are you okay?" came Tohru's worried voice. She kneeled down to his side. Yuki could see Kaze grinning and Kaze scooped up a small heap of snow, sneaking up on tiptoe to Tohru. "Kyo? Kyo?" Tohru continued to call.

"Uh…Miss Honda!" Yuki cried. But, he was too late. Tohru screamed as Kaze dumped the snow on her. Kaze erupted in laughter and fell to the ground, not noticing that Tohru was making her way towards him with her OWN pile of snow. His laugh was promptly squashed as the snow came crashing down upon him. (ME: ah…good times…)

"Ha! Payback!" Tohru said, crossing her arms in front of her chest.

(Later again)

Tohru sighed and pulled her coat tighter around her as she sat on the porch, drinking hot chocolate. The sun was setting, its colors playing across the skies and the snow. She smiled to herself as the warm aroma from the drink washed over her.

"Can I join you?" Tohru turned to see Kaze, with his own hot chocolate, behind her. She nodded and Kaze sat next to her, staring at the scenery. He looked over at his sister occasionally, biting his lip.

"Today was fun." Tohru said.

"Yep…just like old times." Kaze agreed. Tohru scooted closer to him. Kaze looked back over at her.

"Ummm…Tohru?" he asked. Tohru turned and looked at him.

"Yes?"

"Ummm…. last night, I wanted to ask you something…" Kaze said slowly. "I was wondering…. well, Alyssa and I were wondering, if you would like to come live with us." Tohru gasped. "We've got it all planned. You'll have your own room, and the apartment's really big and spacious! There's even a pool!" Kaze said, his eyes lighting up. But Tohru just looked away.

"Kaze…this is really sudden," she said softly.

"Yeah, but…" he said. He saw how upset she looked. "What, don't you WANT to be with me?" he asked.

"Kaze…you disappear for five years…you show up out of nowhere…and now you ask me to come live with you?" Tohru said slowly. "I don't even know where you've been or what you've been up to…and now you say that you can't tell me why you left…"

"So what, you don't trust me?" Kaze asked, slightly taken back.

"No, that's not it…it's just…" Tohru said, giving her brother a sad look. "Brother, I can't leave."

"What?! What the heck is that supposed to mean?!" Kaze said.

"Kaze…I really like living here…the Sohmas are all so nice to me…I'm in debt to them for letting me stay here…" Tohru said. "Kaze…I've had too many separations in my life…with dad…then with you…and then mom…Kaze, they are like a family to me! You have to understand…I want us to stay together. I don't want to leave. And it's not just that…Uo and Hana are here too…I just…I just couldn't leave Kaze." Tohru said, her hair falling limply around her face. Kaze stared, and finally frowned.

"So you'd rather live with them with me?" he said, not hiding the sadness in his voice. Tohru looked back over at him.

"Brother…it's not only that…you have your own life. You've got a great girlfriend…you'll probably want to start a family of your own someday…it's your life Kaze…you don't need to take care of me, too." Tohru said. "Kaze…it would just be really hard if I lived with you. I'd have to go to a new school…and you'd have to pay for my tuition as well as all your expenses-"

"Alright! Fine!" Kaze interrupted, suddenly angry. "I get it," he looked out at the snow and sighed.

"Kaze…" Tohru said.

"Umm. Kaze?" Tohru and Kaze turned to see Yuki standing behind them.

"Yeah?" Kaze asked, frowning.

"You have a phone call…" Yuki said slowly. Kaze gasped. What if it was…. no…there was no way…. there was no way that guy could have found him….

Could he have?

O-O

Yep! That's it! Not my best ending by far!

Please review!!!!

I'll try to work on the next chapter – which should be VERY interesting by the way --- but I'm not making any promises. School comes first.

Signing out!
