Chapter six- Girls and their woes.
It was getting dark as Hiro and Kisa entered Shigure's house.
He glanced up at the duo's entrance, a small perverted smile coming to his lips. "Aw, the lovebirds return. And from where, can I ask? A nighttime stroll?"
Yuki rolled his eyes. "Don't make that sound so dirty," he warned his older cousin.
Shigure laughed it off, almost Ayame-style. "Oh, don't mind me. I was only joking," this statement of course from fear of gettibg brained by Yuki's dictionaries again.
Kyo came in from all the ruckus. "God, why are you being so loud?!" He snapped at the pervy writer. He caught sight of Hiro and Kisa- then their hands, which were still clutched together.
Hiro realized what he was staring at and dropped Kisa's hand. "Why are you looking at me like that, you stupid cat?!" He snapped at the ginger haired boy.
Kyo got just as mad. "Say that again! Tell me how stupid I am!"
Hiro smirked as Kyo grabbed him by the front of his shirt. Kisa gasped, turning away. Yuki kicked the older boy away from Hiro.
"Pick on someone your own size, you stupid cat," he taunted the cat laying on the floor from his previous strike.
Yuki sighed. "I'm going to take a walk," he casually threw over his shoulder at Shigure. "Tell Hiro and that stupid cat that I'm leaving Kisa in charge. And if they get too much for her to handle, to call Haru."
The older man caught it, nodding. "Okay. You do that."
It was only after he left, that Shigure finally caught the rest of it. "Hey, Yuki you didn't really mean Kisa's in charge, did you?!"
There was no reply, adding on to the older man's suspicions.
Yuki breathed the night air in with happiness. His family really did get too much to deal with after a while.
He sighed at the thought. He suddenly stopped, his ears faintly catching someone's voice nearby. The words were inaudible, but this was Sohma property through and through.
"Whose there?!" He called out.
He heard a gasp, followed by footsteps. Fast footsteps. The intruder was running! He turned and gave chase, rats all over the forest telling him were to go.
It wasn't long before he saw the figure only mere feet before him. He could see long, dark hair, suggesting he was chasing a woman.
One of the rats hissed something, his eyes going wide.
"Hey, stop!" He cried at the girl. He reached out to try to grab her. But it was too late.
Both the girl and the rat fell off the cliff into the lake below.
Yuki didn't remember the fall, but he remembered the splash. How could he not? The water was freezing cold as it surrounded him.
His head broke the surface with a gasp. The girl's face broke the surface a moment later. She was panting heavily.
Yuki's face furrowed with confusion. "Tohru?!"
It felt like the world was suddenly just there on his shoulder. This was a coincidence? He shook that thought away.
No way! He was sure he didn't believe in those anymore.
Yuki helped Tohru reach the other side of the lake. His lungs gasped at the sensation of complete air around him, instead of just little slashes here and there.
Tohru seemed to be enjoying the same feeling. She was sitting on the ground breathing heavily. He offered her a hand, pulling her up.
"Come on, let's go," he said softly.
Tohru looked up, surprised. "Um, where are we going?" She asked nervously.
Yuki made sure to smile nicely. "My house, of course."
Tohru turned unhealthily pale as he grabbed her hand, pulling her off towards Shigure's house.
Taking Tohru to Shigure's house turned out to be a mistake. As soon as he saw Yuki holding a cute girl's hand, and their wet clothes, he deviously said, "Ah, Yuki, have fun on your walk? Your clothes suggest so. Oh, yes they do."
Tohru turned bright red. Yuki glared at his perverted cousin. "Don't you ever say that about miss Honda, Shigure," he warned his cousin coldly.
The door suddenly opened, Haru bursting into the room, Kyo following after him. Kisa came running in after both boys, screaming, "Guys, please stop! Haru, I asked you here to STOP Kyo from killing Hiro, not to kill Kyo himself!"
Both boys stopped as they noticed the rat and the wet girl beside him. "What's she doing here?" Haru asked. "I was just about to kick his butt."
Yuki groaned. It was fortunate he'd come when he had. Kisa winced when she saw him. "I'm so sorry, Yuki. This is all my fault! You left me in charge and I failed you!"
He shook his head nicely. "That's not it at all, Kisa. I think you did just fine."
"No!" She cried in dispair. "You were counting on me. I screwed up! You think so too, you're just being nice about it."
Yuki smiled. "No, Really. I think you did a better job than Shigure would."
Kisa laughed, and the man in question cried out,"Hey!"
She suddenly seemed to notice Tohru for the first time. "What's sissy doing here?" She asked the silver haired boy.
Yuki frowned. "Sissy?"
Tohru beamed, as Kisa replied, "Yep! And she's the best sissy in the world."
A small sound of annoyance was uttered from Hiro, who had entered the room when Kisa had run to stop the boys. "Yeah, whatever," he muttered under his breathe in clear irritation.
Kisa blushed at the jealousy in his voice.
Yuki turned to Tohru, "Would you stay for dinner?"
Tohru's eyes widened, shaking her head violently. "No, it's too much. I wouldn't want to intrude on you and your family."
He shook his head, smiling. "It's no trouble. It'd be an honor."
Kisa beamed, teaming up with Yuki. "Yeah, and I'll cook."
Tohru pursed her lips, thinking. "Well, if you're sure," she said indecisively. A small smile lit up her face."I'll help you cook," she told Kisa.
Kisa nodded eagerly. "Yes! This is gonna be so much fun!"
Both girls ran into the kitchen while the five boys watched.
"Girls are weird," Hiro smirked.
They all nodded.
