Kureno! Everyone knows who he is right? He's the rooster. Took me a while to come up with something for him. A reviewer made a suggestion that sounded really funny so I'm going to go with it. Have fun!
"My, my. Kureno, what brings you here?" Shigure opened his door wider to let Kureno inside. The rooster bowed politely to him as he walked in.
"Akito sent me. Can you believe he let me out of his sight for even a second? But he wants you to visit him. He says it's been too long since he's seen you." Kureno answered.
Shigure nodded. "Of course. How likely. Well, ok. I will pay a visit to him tomorrow. I guess he has something he wants to talk to me about."
"And he wants Hatori back too." Kureno added.
Shigure laughed. "Hatori? Of course. He's been eating all my food." Hatori came down from the stairs where he had just got finished taking a shower. He had heard Shigure's last comment and gave him a look.
"I don't eat all the food and you know it. That's Yuki." he said.
Another laugh came from Shigure. The food bill had suspiciously been increasing. The little rat didn't know when to stop. Kureno smiled then looked at Shigure. "Is it ok if I stay here the night? Then I can bring you all back in my car."
"I have my own car." Hatori said.
Kureno shurgged. "If you leave it here it would be a good excuse to come back. But is it all right with you if I stay, Shigure?"
"It's all right with me. But will it be ok with Akito? You know how he gets."
"Yea." Kureno said. "I'll handle him. Thank you, Shigure. I appreciate it."
And so night fell. The night was the same. Shigure didn't really have many rooms to spare though. Hatori was already rooming with him but he let Kureno stay with him too. He would only be staying for one night anyway. Everyone slept soundly. It was just a normal night. But soon, the sun started to rise. And when the sun rose, roosters had a nasty little habit...
"Cock-a-doodle-do!"
"What!" Shigure yelled jerking out of his sleep.
"What's going on?" Hatori said rising from his bed. The two men looked over at the new guest and cringed. Of course. Kureno was standing by the window, staring at the sun that was just barely risen.
"Cock-a-doodle-do!"
Shigure covered his ears. He thought he had some annoying habits as a dog, but Kureno took the cake. Did he do this with Akito?
"Kureno!" Hatori screamed. But Kureno ignored him. He continued to make rooster noises. Naturally the children heard him. Kyo opened the door with more force than Shigure ever saw him use. He stared at Yuki, who was practically sleep walking and Tohru, who had a worried expression on her face. But Kyo looked annoyed. Very annoyed...
"Kureno! What's your problem!" he yelled.
A rooster's crow was his response. Kureno seemed to not even know they were there. Well, that was about to change.
"Cock-a-dood-ahh!"
A shoe slammed into poor Kureno's head. He lay on the ground clutching at his head. Then Shigure came over and smacked him with his pillow. "Have you no shame?" he said, trying his best not to yell.
Kureno just looked at everyone. Kyo and Hatori looked like they would gang up on the rooster, Yuki just looked ready to fall asleep again, and Tohru was probably just concerned for Kureno's safety. Then he looked at Shigure. He was smiling...but he didn't look that happy.
"I'm sorry..." Kureno said.
Shigure's eye twitched but his smile, which was rather scary, remained on his face. He eventually calmed down and rolled his eyes. "Go back to sleep everyone..." he said. Kyo stormed back to his room and Tohru lead a dead to the world Yuki back to his room. Kureno avoided Hatori's glare as he crawled back under the covers. And within minutes everyone was back asleep. But just as soon as it had come...
"Cock-a-doodle-do!"
Some habits never die...
