A Very Hoppy Day (sorry for such a bad chapter name, I couldn't think of one :( )
Samantha's POV
It's a sleepy morning I thought as I watched the rain fall through the kitchen window. Tohru and I just finished washing the dishes from breakfast and walked back into the living room where Shigure was reading the newspaper and Yuki was sitting at a table filled with papers. Yuki is going to teach me some Japanese today! I'm so excited! Though I guess for you readers it'll be boring, so let's skip to the afternoon. (Riceball: Who are you talking to?)
It had brightened up a bit but there is still a strong wind. Yuki and I were almost finished our lesson when we heard the door slide open. A really cute boy in a yellow vest, red shorts and a bunny bag popped into the room.
"Tomorrow, we set out with a boom! Get ready for some va-va-voom!" he said in Japanese
Tohru, Yuki, Shigure and I were very surprised.
"What are you up to, barging in here with talk of "setting out"?" asked Yuki
"And what is this "va-va-voom" nonsense?" added Shigure still reading his paper
"Welcome!" greeted Tohru
"Ja" said the boy
"Konichiwa, hello!" I greeted the boy
He looked at me "Ah! Hello" he said, in English this time, "You must be Samantha, Hari has told me lots about you! I'm Momiji Sohma!" he said hopping over to me
"It's nice to meet you. Let me guess, you're the rabbit?" I asked
"I am, I am!" Momiji said happily
Wow, I got to meet another zodiac so soon
"So why is it you have come to visit?" I asked
"We are going on a trip!" answered Momiji "We all promised that we'd go out and do something together! You should come too Samantha!"
"I'd love too!" I said
"I made no such promise." said Shigure in the background
"And then, I rented a Sohma summer home!" continued Momiji "So starting tomorrow, we're all going on a fantastic hisho vacation!"
"Eeeh?!" squeaked Tohru "Tomorrow?! Summer home?! Hisho, you say?!"
"Making plans on his own again..." mumbled Yuki
"A hisho vacation, hm?" imagined Shigure
"Uh, um, but it's too extravagant!" panicked Tohru
"Tohru," said Momiji happily "you're taking time off your work, right? If we're going to do something, now's our chance!"
"But leaving tomorrow is too sudden. First of all, it's been raining..." commented Yuki
"It's okay!" piped up Momiji " the weather report said tomorrow would be clear! 'Kay?! So lets go, Tohru! We promised! Right, Tohru?!" Momiji was now tugging Tohru's hand
"C'mon Tohru! It'll be so much fun!" I added
"You should go, Tohru-kun." said Shigure finally looking up from his paper "If you want to, that is."
"Yes!" answered Tohru with a big smile "I want to go very much!" I hugged her
"...! Stag beetles! We have to catch stag beetles!" said Momiji
"Yes!" Tohru giggled
"And we have to light fireworks!" added Momiji
"Yes!" cheered Tohru and I in unison
"That sounds fun." said Shigure "Maybe I should come along."
"Really?!" asked Momiji "Let's go, let's go!"
"Don't you have work to do?" Yuki questioned cleaning up the papers on the table
"Nope!" smiled Shigure
"I don't believe you and you're making me sick. Please stop." Yuki gave a dark glare.
"Never mind me, have you all done your homework?" asked Shigure "Going to have fun with homework is most uncouth."
"No need to worry." Yuki stood up "It's pretty much finished."
"I'm almost done too!" cheered Momiji
"I have none." I said more to myself. We all looked at Tohru who looked like she was hit by lightning. Doom just loomed over her.
Momiji, Yuki, Tohru and I all sat in Tohru's bedroom.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Whimpered Tohru "I'm so sorry for causing nothing but trouble."
"We don't think of it as trouble. Relax." smiled Yuki
"I'm sorry." continued Tohru "it's just physics is so hard. I feel as if nothings sinking in."
"That's what I thought too!" I said trying to make Tohru feel better. Darn my friend and his 103% I thought
"C'mon Tohru! Don't give up!" cheered Momiji "Fight! Fight!"
"Yes!" declared Tohru "I will do my best so we can all go to the summer home!"
"For the stag beetles!" said Momiji
"For the fireworks!" added Tohru
Momiji got an idea, it was like his invisible little bunny ears just popped up
"Huh? Oh yeah, where's Kyo?" wondered Momiji
"He's resting in his room." said Tohru
Momiji jumped up "The I'll go tell Kyo what we're doing tomorrow! I don't want to get in the way of your studying!"
I stood up as well "Me too, I don't want to be a bother. Good luck studying Tohru."
Momiji and I walked out the door. "Do your best, Tohru" added Momiji just before he left.
I headed to the stairs. "I'll meet you in the living room Momiji."
"Okay!" he answered skipping to Kyo's room.
I walked into the living room pulling my iPod touch out of my pocket. I wonder what a stag beetle is. Well I have Internet so I'll just look it up. Suddenly I heard Momiji crying. I looked up "I wonder what that's about?"
"Kyo probably just hit Momiji on the head." said Shigure casually
"Oh... Okay." I turned my attention back to the iPod
"What is that you have my dear?" Shigure asked looking over my shoulder
"It's an iPod. You can play music, games, take photos or use the Internet." I said smiling opening an ice-cream stacking game and showing Shigure how to play. I handed it to him and he started playing himself. Momiji and Kyo came down the stairs.
"We're looking for how to catch stag beetles!" called Momiji "Do you have any insect books Shigure?" Shigure was too distracted by the game to answer
"I can just check the Internet, Shigure may I have my iPod for a sec?"
"But I'm just about to reach the stars!" he whined
"You can pause it." I said touching the screen and carefully taking my iPod out of his hands.
"What is that?" asked Kyo raising an eyebrow
"It's an iPod. You haven't one before? Isn't Japan like, the most highly technological country in the world?" I asked a little surprised
"It's not like I use electronics all the time!" defended Kyo
"Well anyways, I use this to play music, take photos, play games and use the Internet." I said while searching stag beetles. "Well it seems like you can catch stag beetles by painting sugar water on Kunugi trees."
"Kunugi..." thought Momiji
Suddenly there was a glass breaking sound coming from up stairs. Everyone but Shigure ran up.
"What's happened Tohru?!" Momiji yelled running into her room, Kyo and I were right on his heels
"Are you all right?!" we both asked at the same time. All three of us walked into the bedroom and the first thing we noticed was a broken window and glass everywhere.
"Th-Th-the glass! The glass!" panicked Tohru
"We know. Calm down." said Kyo a little stressed "You're not hurt, are you?" Kyo looked at Tohru's hat in her hands and tensed.
Huh? Why are you tense, Kyo? I wondered but my thought was broken by Momiji yelling "Stop, o mighty wind! I command you!"
"St-stop...?" a surprised Tohru asked
"You can't control the wind, Momiji." I laughed
"You moron. You think that would stop it?!" Kyo said irritated
Yuki started picking up papers that had flown about the room. "For now, we have to close this up." he said glancing at the window. "It's dangerous, Miss Honda. You should wait outside. You too Miss Samantha."
"I-I-I'm all right!" Tohru said still a little jittered "I'll help!"
"He's right Tohru," I said taking Tohru's arm "Besides we should tell Shigure what just happened." I lead Tohru out of the bedroom. "Oh! And Kyo, don't step on the glass!" I teased
"Like I would!" he yelled just as we left. Tohru and I walked down stairs
"I think Shigure is in his study now." I thought aloud
"Okay!" replied Tohru as she scurried to the study
It's pretty cool right no. Perhaps I should make some tea for everyone. I walked into the kitchen and put the kettle on. Then I searched the cupboards for the tealeaves. By the time I finished making tea everyone had finished cleaning up and came down stairs. I brought the tea into the living room to find Kyo and Yuki in a fight already.
"I will beat you damn rat! And then I will be a true member of this family!" growled Kyo
"Oh. I haven't heard that one in a while." mocked Yuki
"Alright pretty boy! Let's take it outside!" Kyo stood on the porch in a fighting stance.
"Fine, I'll give you what you want. But this time, I won't hold back." replied Yuki.
Kyo aimed a punch for Yuki's head. Yuki dodged it, grabbed Kyo's arm and pushed him backwards off the porch. Kyo sat on his bum looking down and off to the side.
"Kyo-kun! Are you okay?!" panicked Tohru
Instead of answering Kyo stood up and ran into the bushes.
Hmm... Its not like Kyo to run off like that. Well, at least I don't think it's like him.
Tohru's face was filled with worry while Yuki just sat back at the table drinking tea and Momiji was playing with my iPod I left on the table.
"I'll go check on Kyo." I said jogging off in the direction Kyo went.
A bit of a cliff hanger, yay! or NOO! whichever :P
I get soo happy when I get a message saying "new follower" or "new favourite", I get so excited I feel like Momiji on a sugar rush. Haha! So thank you, thank you so much! ^_^
