Thanks to everyone who read my story but didn't review!
Shigure's House:
"Hey! We're home!" Kira yelled out.
"Yeah… where is everyone?" Kyo noted the dark rooms.
"I don't know… I hear… crying?" Kira wondered, straining her hearing.
"What the hell? Is it Tohru?" Kyo asked nervously.
"No… I think it's Shigure, it's coming from his room." Kira began to walk towards Shigure's door but then it flew open and Shigure beamed at them.
"Welcome home!" he greeted.
"…" Kira and Kyo said nothing.
"He's hiding something…" they both thought
"So? What did you two do? Oh! Did you two go shopping? Let me see!" Shigure begged and Kira showed him the book.
"It's the book Jake lost." Kira explained while Shigure quickly snatched the book away from her and pulled out his lighter and lit it on fire.
"Ow! Hot! Ow!" Shigure cried out as he forgot to let go of the burning book and finally dropped it on the floor.
"SHIGURE!" Kira screamed, smacking him on the head.
"WHAT THE HELL?" Kyo yelled angrily and ran to the kitchen.
"My house!" Shigure wailed as he watched the fire slowly eat up the carpeting.
"You idiot! Why didn't you buy a fire extinguisher?" Kyo cried out as he poured a pathetic bucket of water on the raging fire.
"Call the police!" Shigure told Kira.
"Why me? It's your fault you decided to burn MY book! You probably took the other one too!"
"The police don't like me…" Shigure said, sniffing as the fire was on the move and all three of them moved towards the door.
"We have to go warn Tohru!" Kyo yelled but Yuki and Tohru finally arrived.
"What the hell happened? Why do I smell something burning? FIRE?" Yuki exclaimed
"Eh? EH? A FIRE? All of you must leave! Please, you will get hurt! I will take care of it!" Tohru urged them towards the door.
"Hello? Hatori?" Kira said into her cell phone.
"Kira? Are you coming here tonight or tomorrow morning?" Hatori asked.
"Huh?"
"Didn't Shigure tell you? You have to come stay with me for a while and you can't go to school for few weeks either."
"WHAT?" Kira exclaimed loudly.
"What's going on over there? Where are you?" Hatori ignored her and wondered about the noise in the background.
"Stupid cat! Get a fire extinguisher!" Yuki yelled and then coughed, the smoke was getting to him.
"There isn't any damn rat!" Kyo yelled back as Tohru pushed all of them out the door into the bitter cold night.
"SHUT UP!" Kira screamed so loud that everyone stared at her.
"Shigure! Why the HELL do I have to move to the main house?" Kira glared at Shigure fiercely.
"Uh…" Shigure stalled, he had no idea what to say.
"WHAT? The main house? WHY?" Kyo asked Shigure.
"Well um… you see…"
"Get to the point." Yuki said irritably, coughing again, this time both Kira and Tohru shot him worried looks but he just smiled at them.
"Kira? Kira! What's going on?" Hatori raised his voice slightly in panic.
"What do you mean I have to live with you?" Kira shouted into the phone.
"There have been some problems…"
"Problems? What problems?" Kira asked suspiciously. Everyone has forgotten about the burning house in front of them, with Kyo and Yuki yelling at Shigure and Tohru sobbing, happy that everyone was all right."
"MY HOUSE! At least the book Jake lost will never be found now…" Shigure thought in relief at the thought of not having to see Kira go through all of THAT again. Suddenly Tohru shrieked,
"OH NO! SHIGURE-SAN! YOUR HOUSE BURNED DOWN AND IT'S ALL MY FAULT!" and began sobbing in grief.
"She sounds like Ritsu…" Shigure thought, smiling oddly.
"Tohru, it's all right, it's not your fault, and it's… some one else's fault…" Yuki comforted her, not knowing what really happen in the first place.
"WHAT?" a loud voice raged from Kira's cell phone that she had to hold it away from her.
"Uh oh…Haa-san?" Shigure whispered, afraid as he took the phone form Kira.
"Shigure! Your house BURNED down?" Hatori exclaimed, panicked.
"Um-" Shigure said but was interrupted
"Where are you going to stay?"
"Well-" Shigure tried to say something but Hatori continued.
"How are you going to live? Where will Yuki, Kyo, and Tohru live?"
"I-"
"And just after we had a plan to keep Kira away from your stupid books!"
"Hey-"
"I told again and again not to smoke while taking a bath! Did your ass get burned again?"
"That was only one time! And I-"
"Where are you going to LIVE? Your house just burned DOWN!"
"No it didn't! It's still burning." Shigure protested weakly at Hatori's stern and rigid questions.
"Then call the police! Save it!" Hatori yelled for the first time in his life.
"The police hate me!" Shigure wailed sadly.
"How much of it is burned down?"
"About half and it's all my fault! I tried to burn the book I wrote that Kira and Kyo just bought but my hand got burned and I dropped it-" Shigure said quickly
"Shigure-"
"It began to burn everything in the house and I have no idea where we're going to live and I'm so scared now and my editor will kill herself if she knew my computer burned along with all of my manuscripts-" Shigure continued, ignoring Hatori.
"Shi-"
"And all of those manuscripts were amazing sequels to all of my books too!" Shigure sobbed loudly.
"Well, good! You can't write another book about Kira again! She would be under house arrest each time you publish a sick book!"
"WAAA!" Shigure cried as everyone stared at him.
"He finally lost his mind… that idiot!" Kyo muttered
"How can he lose something he never had?" Yuki replied sarcastically.
"Don't be so mean. There, there Shigure, your house will be fine. We just need to find somewhere else to live for a while. Say bye to Hatori now." Kira patted Shigure on the back gently while hanging up on Hatori.
"Bye…" Shigure said weakly.
"Bye." Hatori said and there was a click.
"Shouldn't we call the police or firefighters?" Tohru asked.
"It's too late now…" Kira said, observing the fire that was dying down now and was mostly smoke erupting from the ashes. She grabbed a stick and poked the disaster, sifting through the soot.
"Everything burned…" she reported.
"No shit!" Kyo replied.
"That means…my CLOTHES burned too! All of them were burned and my katana! And my sais! And- hey, what's this?" Kira used the stick to drag out something.
"It looks like… a book…" Yuki observed.
"Ow! Hmm… the title says…"
Sohma Estate:
"I can't believe his house burned down…" Hatori muttered, shaking his head incredulity.
"Whose house?" Haru asked, walking in.
"Shigure's"
"Sensei's? Did anyone get hurt?" Haru asked, anxiousness shone through his tone slightly.
"Not that I know of… Haru, what did you want to see me for?" Hatori remembered Haru walking in randomly.
"Oh, I saw Kira here earlier in the evening. I was wondering if she came to see you."
"No. I had been talking to Shigure on the phone for a while and then I went to work on my computer." Hatori frowned.
"More like buying every one of Shigure's book on the internet… I bet Kira came to see Akito." Hatori thought.
"She didn't seem hurt but I think she was talking to Akito."
"Talking to Akito? That's impossible!" Hatori protested.
"It seems like the only reason. Where is everyone going to live since Sensei's house is burned down?" Haru asked casually, like a person's house burns down every week.
"They will stay here." a voice came from Hatori's doorway, Akito's voice.
"Not 'they can' but 'they WILL' stay here…" Hatori thought.
"Here?" Haru questioned.
"What about Yuki? And Kira?" Haru thought
"Yes here. Now leave. I have to speak with Hatori." Akito commanded and Haru just nodded and left.
"What?" Hatori asked.
"Will Kira be staying with us?" Akito asked, his dark eyes seem brighter then usual.
"Does she have a choice?"
"No. I suppose not but I want her to stay in the small guest house all the way in the back."
"That's too far from the others, she's going to complain." Hatori told his dark dictator, careful not to look horrified at the thought.
"What is he up to?" Hatori wondered.
"Yes and what did you tell everyone about your eye? The one that got hurt?"
"I told them what happened." Hatori replied simply, one wrong word and Akito would definitely get angry.
"You told them I went CRAZY?" Akito yelled
"Where did you hear that from?" Hatori asked in shock
"ANSWER ME! WHAT DID YOU SAY?" Akito raged
"Calm down. You're going to get a mild heart attack. Where did you hear that? Kureno?" Hatori ignored his rants.
"No. Kira told me when she visited me voluntarily." Akito smirked.
"Oh…" Hatori said, trying to digest the information.
"This is unbelievable! What has gotten into both of them?" Hatori thought, watching Akito leave his room. He grabbed his car keys and jacket and strode out to his car.
Shigure's Property:
"Some of the words are burned off… but I think it says 'Cursed Love'" Yuki told them, holding the razed book carefully.
"It's probably that damn pervert's book!" Kyo said.
"It is, it's written by Shigure Sohma." Kira said, peering over Yuki's shoulders and then snatched the book away.
"It's Jake's lost book!" Kira cried out happily, flipping through the pages. Behind them, Shigure kneeled in the snow, weeping but he heard her and smiled. It was all going according to plan.
"They'll thank me at the wedding. Or at Akito's funeral… whichever comes first. If only Kyo was more romantic, more like me…" Shigure thought, smirking, pleased with himself.
"Where are we going to stay now?" Tohru asked
"I don't know…" Kira answered, sticking the book in her coat pocket.
"Didn't Hatori say you have to stay at the main house, Kira?" Yuki asked.
"Hm… it's probably because of Akito, nothing big." Kira assured him
"Because of Akito? What about him?" Hatori asked, coming up behind them.
"Eh? Hello Hatori-san!" Tohru greeted, surprised.
"Hatori-chan! When did you get here?" Kira asked, just as surprised.
"Just now. Akito says that all of you will stay at the main house until Shigure's house is fixed." Hatori said, stoically as ever. Yuki paled, Kyo and Kira just stared, their jaws dropped open but Shigure and Tohru seem like the only happy ones.
"How kind of Akito!" Shigure praised
"Yes! Akito-san is very kind!" Tohru agreed, nodding her head vigorously.
"But Yuki seems so frighten around Akito-san…" Tohru thought.
"WHAT? WHY? Why is he making ME stay over there before the fire happen anyway?" Kira exclaimed, shocked and suspicious.
"Geez! Akito and Kira are going to kill each other…" Kyo thought
"He didn't. I did. And so did Shigure; we agreed that it was best for you." Hatori answered calmly.
"SHIGURE! What are you UP TO?" Kira yelled at her older relative.
"Nothing, nothing! I swear! This was all Hatori's idea! I had nothing to do with it!" Shigure waved his hands, panicking under Kira's stare.
"Liar. This is all your fault." Hatori popped a cigarette in his mouth and took a long drag.
"This family is crazy… what did I ever do to be born in this insane family?" Hatori thought.
"Haa-san! I'm a writer! My whole life surrounds my books!" Shigure whined and then clapped a hand over his mouth.
"Oops…" Shigure mumbled
"Get a new life." Hatori commented.
"What? This all has to do with HIS INSANE BOOKS?" Kyo exploded.
"What did you do?" Yuki smacked his cousin in the head, the smoke was clearing away and his lungs felt much better.
"I just wrote a book! Is that against the law?" Shigure protested, rubbing his head.
"Yeah! Any book from you should be illegal!" Kyo hit him in the head.
"At least Yuki and Kyo think it's because of his sick mind… which it is." Hatori thought in slight relief.
"What does his disgusting books have to do with me staying at the main house?" Kira glared at Hatori.
"I knew we forgot something… we forgot what we would tell Kira…" Hatori thought.
"Uh oh… we forgot to come up with a lie!" Shigure thought.
"We have to protect you from my books! That's why! Right Haa-san?" Shigure replied hastily.
"…" Hatori said nothing. He didn't know what to say, he only thought,
"Idiot… Kira would never believe a pathetic lie like that, especially since you're admitting that your own books are sick like you…stupid Shigure."
"…" Kira narrowed her eyes at Shigure who was sweating nervously.
"I knew it, she didn't believe that lie." Hatori thought.
"Liar! Tell me the truth!" Kira cried out.
"Idiot…" Hatori muttered and then said,
"Let's go. It's getting colder and the smoke isn't good for you."
"You're one to talk!" Kira snapped angrily.
"It's a bad habit."
"So quit!" Kyo yelled as they piled into his car. Shigure took the passenger seat up front and Yuki and Tohru had already filled the two seats in the back.
"We all won't fit in the back." Kira said.
"Yes you can! Sit in Kyo-kun's lap!" Shigure suggested, smiling.
"He just doesn't know when to stop…" Hatori thought, starting up the car.
"What? That's illegal- hey!" Kyo began to complain but Kira pushed him in the car, climbed in to his lap, and slammed the door.
"Hey." Hatori warned Kira as the car shook from the force. Kyo said nothing but blushed at how close Kira was to him. Kira leaned back on to Kyo's chest and sighed,
"I'm exhausted…" and Kyo's arms went around her instinctively.
"What the? What am I doing?" Kyo thought as he tried to pull his arms back but Kira put her hands on top of his.
"Me too!" Shigure said, trying to hide the smirk on his face.
"Your hands are cold." Kyo whispered into Kira's ear as she clasped his hands with her own. Next to them, Yuki had put his arm around Tohru casually, causing Tohru to blush and lower her head in embarrassment. Hatori focused on the road while Shigure kept peeking into the rearview mirror every so often.
"This is better then the soap operas on TV!" Shigure noted.
"No, your hands are just warm." Kira turned her head and whispered back fiercely. He could feel her breath tickle his ear.
"We're here." Hatori pulled in to the long driveway and parked.
"There wasn't any making out back was there?" Shigure asked suspiciously, his eyes shining.
"So vulgar." Yuki hit him in the head.
"So where are we staying?" Tohru asked.
"All of you are staying in the extra rooms near Haru's room while Kira is staying in the guesthouse in the back." Hatori told them.
"Eh?" Shigure asked, surprised, this wasn't part of the plan.
"Akito's orders." Hatori said sternly.
"Alright then. See you guys tomorrow morning!" Kira walked off towards the darkly lit landscape.
"That was… interesting." Yuki commented.
"Very unusual." Haru noted, coming up to them.
"Why didn't she complain? What's WRONG with her?" Kyo ask the question that was burning in everyone's mind.
"Go ask her what's wrong. She's your girlfriend." Shigure pointed out.
"Shut up!" Kyo yelled but walked off towards Kira's direction.
"Leave him alone Shigure. Leave them both ALONE." Hatori warned his spontaneous friend.
"Aw, you're so cold Haa-san! Time for sleepy time!" Shigure smiled and went inside the dark house.
"Yes! It's getting late!" Tohru said, following Shigure inside.
"You can stay with me, Yuki." Haru offered
"No thanks, I'm going to sleep in the main house near Tohru." Yuki rejected politely.
"Suit yourself. I'm going to make sure Kyo doesn't do anything stupid." Haru shrugged and walked into the black abyss of the Sohma Estate.
"That stupid cat help but do something stupid. If he does anything to Kira call me and I'll kill him." Yuki called out and went inside.
"Haru…" Hatori said.
"Don't worry, I'll stay out of sight, Kyo can't sense me for his life and I'll try to keep out of Kira's sight too." Haru called over his shoulder. Hatori sighed and went inside.
"Better check on Akito, he was angry with me earlier. He should be asleep now." Hatori thought, loosening his tie and stuck his head into Akito's room. He expected to see a simple, orderly room with Akito sulking on his bed, his dark eyes glaring at him…
He saw a simple, orderly room but no Akito.
"Where can he be? Oh, this can't be good…" Hatori thought as he glanced out of Akito's window and saw the small guesthouse.
This has to be the most random chapter out of all my chapters, especially with the fire but Shigure panicked when he saw the book so he did what he could think of at the time…lol.
Kira has the book now, Kyo is going to check on her, Haru is going to spy on them and Akito is where…? I think you all know where he is…
That woman from the bookstore WILL make another appearance soon so BEWARE!
Happy Halloween! lol…
