The Joys of Driving
Kagura was just as reluctant to get into the car as Momiji had been (thinking back, Hatori realized that only Tohru's unwillingness to upset anyone had gotten her into the driver's seat in the first place) if not more so. She kicked and screamed until Hatori had turned to Rin, standing placidly by and looking around as though the world and everything in it was a plaything that ceased to amuse her, for help. When Rin's help proved to be not enough, they also turned to Hatsuharu, also waiting for his turn. With the three of them combining forces, Kagura found herself strapped into the driver's seat more securely than even Momiji had been.
Hatori's car, though, now showed tell-tale signs of violence.
"I won't! I won't! I won't!" the Boar kept chanting, shaking her head stubbornly. Hatori could no longer see her hands for all the tape that held them to the steering wheel. It was obvious that she wasn't going to do anything of her own free will. Fortunately, Hatori wanted this over with and was willing to go to any means. I say 'fortunately' because this wouldn't be much of a story otherwise, now, would it?
"Kagura, you do know that Kyo's been cheating on you, right?"
Instantly, Kagura turned to the Dragon, obsessive sparkles in her eyes. "What?"
Hatori was trying very hard not to be scared out of his wits by her intense glare. "It's true. Why don't you drive - carefully - to Shigure's house and then I'll let you go and you can beat the sense into him?"
That sounded like a good idea to Kagura so she pressed on the gas pedal and off they drove.
Hatori was delighted to find that, with the proper incentive, Kagura was a decent driver. She drove at a steady thirty-five kmph, not fast but not that slow either, and wasn't afraid of turning the car. In fact, she seemed quite eager.
They pulled up at Shigure's house. Kagura looked at Hatori expectantly, eyes glimmering with obsessed stars. Well... he figured she deserved some sort of reward for not making his life as awful as everyone else had. He untaped her hands. She burst out of the car and into the house, screeching. From his seat, Hatori heard muffled yells and crashes. Then Kyo was thrown head-first out of the upstairs window. He landed on Hatori's car, breaking through the roof and landing awkwardly in the space between the two front seats. Hatori, resigned to the complete trashing of his once-nice car, looked through his new sunroof.
"Nice weather we're having..."
Kyo groaned.
"KYO MY LOVE!" yelled Kagura, viciously. Kyo got up and ran away, but not fast enough.
When Kagura was still beating the sense into Kyo five minutes later, Hatori moved over to the driver's seat and drove home. He'd come back for Kagura when she calmed down...
