So, here is the latest chapter in Wedding Drama. I am seeing a pattern in my updating… I only ever write this when I have been doing homework… And I don't do enough of it… O.o Ah well, maybe this goes to show that I need to work harder (laugh)
Disclamer: I don't own... jeez, don't send those men in black suits again... (trembles)
Scene 5
(Tohru and Kyo are standing inside a pet shop, looking at the kittens on display. The kittens are all mewing and clawing for attention.)
Tohru: (seeing one that she likes) Kyo kun! Look at this one! (Picks up an orange tabby)
Kyo: (Looking at the cat with only a mild interest) Huh? Err… yeah…
Tohru: (Happily) Kyo kun, I like this one. He is so incredibly cute. And he looks like you when (drops voice to a whisper) you used to transform.
Kyo: (Blushing, defiant) I was not cute!
Tohru: (giggling) Yes you were. (She nods her head to back up her point)
Kyo: (Still blushing furiously.) I am a man! Men aren't cute!
Tohru: (Knowing she won't get anywhere with him) But don't you think that he looks like you used to? He has the exact same shade of orange, and his eyes are very similar.
Kyo: (Examines the kitten with more intensity) Hmm, I guess there is a bit of a similarity…
Tohru: (happily) I'd like this one, please, Kyo-kun. If that is ok…?
(Tohru starts to worry about being insensitive to Kyo's wishes)
Kyo: (knows exactly what she is thinking) Yeah, what basket do you want?
(Kyo drags Tohru over to the pet baskets in an attempt to stop her from going into panic mode.)
(They buy all of the necessary items for looking after a cat, and walk outside. They make their way to the local park and sit down on a bench facing a duck pond.)
Kyo: So, what are we gonna call him?
Tohru: (instantly) Mogeta!
Kyo: (taken aback by the speed of her answer) Huh? Mogeta? After that weird anime thing?
Tohru: (holding the sleeping cat in her lap) Yes. I think it suits him, don't you?
Kyo: (Not sure what to make of this) If you say so…
Tohru: (looking at Mogeta) Oh he is just the cutest!
Kyo: (to himself) I've lost her… already… to another cat…
Tohru: (overheard what he said) Oh but you are cute too Kyo-kun!
Kyo: (blushing furiously, embarrassed) How many times? I am not cute!
Tohru: (earnestly) well, if you aren't cute then you are very attractive.
Kyo: (even more embarrassed) Uh… err…?
Tohru: (knows she is embarrassing him, and enjoying it slightly) You were very popular in high school, Kyo-kun. You even had your own fan club…
Kyo:…
Tohru: (smiling happily) All of the girls in our class were very jealous when they found out that we were together. (Her face falls at the memory) That wasn't too pleasant…
Kyo: (hurriedly) Err… You are pretty too! (Blushes, enters a "Tohru panic mode"- they rub off on him) Err, I mean… I always though that, so it wasn't just now 'cuz you said all that! Well, not always, but-
Tohru: I understand Kyo-kun.
(Kyo's panic abates instantly. He is left a little flustered. They sit in silence for a while, Tohru scratching Mogeta behind the ears, Kyo staring stubbornly into space.)
Tohru: (breaking the silence) Why did you ask Yuki-kun to be your best man Kyo-kun?
Kyo: (snapped out of his examination of the air) Huh? (Recognises what she said) Oh… that.
(Kyo sighs and slumps into the bench. Tohru immediately looks worried and starts to fret, but holds herself back)
Kyo: I dunno really… (takes on a confessionary tone) I guess it was to make up for the past…I mean, I don't exactly hate him anymore, but it's still awkward. (He shrugs) I want to start over… Maybe one day we could become friends…
Tohru: (seriously) I think that that is very kind of you Kyo-kun.
(Kyo grunts, trying to hide how pleased he is that she approves)
(Tohru rests her head on his shoulder and he wraps his arm around her.)
Kyo: (struggling with himself) Yuki- he was my excuse for everything. I directed all my anger towards the world at him, so I felt like I had a reason to be angry. I never said sorry to him for it, even after I found out about the crap he was going through at the same time. He wasn't as pampered as I thought…(Laughs suddenly) Ah well; he is the stupid rat after all.
Tohru: (speechless)
Kyo: (speaks quietly in her ear) And you are my reason to love.
(Tohru blushes, but doesn't have a chance to reply, as a voice interrupts them)
Hiro: (sarcastically. As usual.) Couldn't you think of anything more original to say?
(Hiro and Kisa appear from behind a tree, eating ice creams)
Hiro: Seriously, that is probably the most clichéd line I have ever heard, and you (turns to Tohru) are stupid to accept it.
Tohru: (confused) Huh? (mentally shakes herself) Hiro-san! Kisa-chan! This is a lovely surprise! Are you two on a date?
Hiro: (immediately goes onto the defensive) No! Of course not! We just went to buy ice cream!
Kisa: (smiling) Yes we are!
(Hiro blushes furiously. Kyo laughs, thinking how easy it is for the women they love to embarrass them)
Kisa: (notices Mogeta) Who is that onee-chan?
Tohru: This is Mogeta, our new cat!
Hiro: (thankful for the change in subject) Mogeta? As in, the Mogeta from our favourite anime?
Kyo: Yes…
Kisa: (happily) That is so cute!
Tohru: (happy that Kisa approves) Isn't it? And don't you think that he looks like Kyo-kun?
Kisa: Yes! He looks exactly the same!
Kyo: (mumbling) Dammit…
Hiro: (trying to save face) So you choose a cat that looks like you used to? How arrogant is that?
Kyo: (spurred into anger) Shut up you little brat!
Hiro: (smirking) Are you going to "make me"?
(Mogeta meows. The group are silenced. Tohru looks at Mogeta in alarm)
Tohru: (gasps) Did you hear that? He meowed! Oh what an incredibly precious moment…
(Everyone stares at her, not sure weather she is being serious. But it is Tohru. Of course she is…)
Kyo: I would worry, but this is perfectly normal…
Kisa: (knowingly) It seems Onee-chan is using Mogeta as practice for when you have children Kyo-san.
Kyo: (blushes furiously again, shocked and not a little scared) Ch-ch-ch-children?
Tohru: (as though it was common knowledge) But of course we are going to have children, Kyo-kun. I want a boy and a girl, and then I don't mind after that.
(Kyo: (faintly) "After that"… as in... more than two…
Tohru: (seriously) We would be wonderful parents, don't you think Kyo-kun?
Kyo: (panicked)…err… sure…
Hiro: (stubbornly) I'm never having children. They make a mess and cry all the time-
Kisa (suddenly) Hiro-chan, I want two boys if that is ok?
Hiro: (blushes) Err…ok?
(Kyo snorts)
Hiro: (desperate to change the subject) Anyway, we heard back the main house that you two are going to be married?
Tohru: Yes we are!
Kisa: That is so nice! I can't wait for it!
Tohru: (suddenly) Kisa-chan, would you be my flower girl please?
Kisa: (thrilled at the idea) Oh can I? Really?
Tohru: Yes!
(Kisa and Tohru talk about possibilities for flowers etc)
Hiro: (slightly admiringly) I can't believe you managed to ask her to marry you.
Kyo: Neither do I…
Hiro: Are you scared?
Kyo: (indignant) Of course not! I'm not scared a bit… well… maybe a little anxious…I mean she wants children… more than two…
(Realization hits Kyo)
Hiro: (smugly) I'll have to let Momiji know… he owes me!
Kyo: (snaps out of "dawning horror" mode) Huh? Why?
Hiro: We had a bet on as to weather you were scared or not. He said you wouldn't be, but I said you would.
Kyo: (speechless)
Hiro: Anyway, I won, so what do you reckon I should claim from him?
(Kisa suddenly directs conversation at Kyo)
Kisa: Kyo-san, I am sure you and Onee-chan will be very happy together!
Kyo: (too stunned to reply to Hiro) Oh… err, thanks…
Tohru: (playing the hostess) Hiro-san, Kisa-chan, would you like to come back with us to Shigure-san's house? I could cook you some tea if you are hungry.
Kisa: (turns to Hiro for permission) May we go Hiro-chan? I would like to see Oji-chan again…
Hiro: (reluctantly) I guess…
(Mogeta meows again)
Tohru: (excitedly) Oh that is his second meow! I'll have to start a record!
Kyo: (to himself) She really is serious about children… (sweatdrops)
End.
So that was chapter five. Oh the cheeseyness...
The next one will be a flashback, with our favourite wave girl and karate instructor!
