Worlds Apart: Chapter 5

TQL: Gomenasai! It took me so long to update! I do not own Fruits Basket.

Meanwhile, Kakeru had successfully dragged Shana to Ayame.

"Is this young lady here Shana?" asked Ayame.

"Yes sir!" exclaimed Kakeru.

"…." (Ayame)

"……………………………………………………………!!!" (Shana)

"Pleased to meet you, Miss. I hope my brother is worthy of your lo-" Yuki had barged in.

"Ayame, how'd you like to meet the one for Kyo?"

"Kyon-Kichi? You found her! Oh, what a delight!" exclaimed Ayame, "Sincerest apologies, Miss, but we shall continue!" Ayame skipped off. Shana was still frozen to the spot.

"Sorry 'bout that…" said Yuki, awkwardly scratching the back of his head. Slowly, anger grew in Shana's eyes. She fwipped around and whacked Kakeru as hard as she could.

"Don't (whack) you (whack) ever (whack) do (whack) that (whack) AGAIN! (Whack whack WHACK) Shana hmphed and returned to running away from Ellen, still holding the math binder hostage.

"Eh… She went easy on me…" Said a beaten up Kakeru.

"Gggrr…" Ellen did not like people messing with her math binder. Ever.

"Yuki, who is this fair lady that our little Kyon-Kichi has chosen?" Ayame asked Yuki.

"Her name is Ellen, one of Shana's best friends." Yuki replied.

"ACHOO!" sneezed both Ellen and Shana.

"Hey! They say that when you sneeze, someone is talking about you!" Shana exclaimed.

"Only Shana would believe in that…" thought Kori and Ellen, sweatdropping.

"Hey…! Yuki and his brother are coming over here. Buh-bye!" Ellen grabbed Shana's collar.

"Oh no, you don't. Hand over my math notebook."

"No! Just lemme go! Yuki's brother scares me!" Kori just sighed and dragged both of her friends to the other side of the lunch area, the two were still arguing.

Yuki and Ayame followed.

Kori continued to drag them away.

"Hey, Shana! Wait!" Yuki called out. Kori tossed Shana.

"Go. Your boyfriend is calling you." Smirked Kori.

"Wha?!? IT'S NOT LIKE THAT!!!" Shana yelled.

"Sure…"

"SHUT UP!" Yuki and Ayame came.

"Hey Shana." Greeted Yuki.

"…Hi…" She replied.

"Well, my brother, Ayame, would like to meet your friend, Ellen." Shana's eyebrows went up.

"Oh! Hold on, I'll go get her."

Shana rushed off.

"EL-LEN!" Shana exclaimed, "Yuki's brother wants to talk to YOU!"

"Eh? I've got TWO things to say. One: I don't know him! And Two: Gimme back my math notebook!" Shana rolled her eyes.

"Well I've got two things to say to YOU. One: Just go! And Two: NO!" Shana dragged Ellen toward the group (Kyo had joined them) still keeping the math notebook away from Ellen's clutches.

Ggrr…" Ellen grumbled.

"Okay, here she is!" smiled Shana, happily. Ayame smiled back. Ellen glared at Shana. Kyo and Yuki had light blushes tinting their cheeks.

"Ah. So you're the girl Kyon-Kichi has chosen. Well, Miss Ellen, I wish you and Kyon-Kichi the best."

Ellen blinked, surprised.

"Uhh…"

"Enchanted, my dear." Said Ayame, bowing. "I hope that Kyon-Kichi is worthy of your lo-"

"COMMANDER!" Kyo's prayers were answered.

"Ah, Kakeru. Well, my visit here was short but sweet. Farewell, young ladies. May our paths cross again!" And Ayame left.

"……."

"Yo," whispered Kakeru, "You two ask 'em out. Thursday night at the Crescent Moon. 7 o'clock."

"Why?" They whispered back.

"Just do it!" They nodded.

"Uhh…. Shana? Can I please talk to you in private? Please?" asked Yuki.

"Sure…" They walked away, leaving Ellen and Kyo alone.

"So... I was wondering… if you were…maybe… uh…" began Yuki.

"Yes?" asked Shana, cocking her head to the side clueless, "What is it?"

"Are you free Thursday night?"

Shana blinked, surprised.

"Yes. Why?" She replied.

"Would you like to go to the Crescent Moon with me, then?"

"Umm…"

"It'll be a triple date!" Yuki added quickly, "Kakeru and Kyo are also bringing dates."

"Oh! I'm free… What time?" She asked.

"7 o'clock. Meet you there?"

"Okay!" Yuki smiled in relief. "I just have one more question."

"Hm?"

"Is Kyo gonna ask Ellen?" asked Shana, eyes twinkling, gesturing toward the two. Yuki grinned.

"Yep." Shana's eyes widened.

"Omigosh!" She exclaimed, pulling on Yuki's sleeve, "This is great!" He smiled.

"Yeah…" But he wasn't looking at them.

TQL: Aww… Isn't that sweet? Please review!
