Perhaps We Should Invite Ourselves Over


(Kazuko's POV)

*The Cultural Festival was in full swing & business was booming at our class' rice ball stand. We were all wearing t-shirts we had designed for today (look up "Kazuko & Ichiro - Festival T-shirts" by "SwanGirl24" on "DeviantArt"). Only Saki was wearing a black witch's hat & black cloak, which I thought was really cute*

Female Student: This is the place I was talking about.

Female Student #2: Those look so good.

Tohru: Thanks for stopping by.

Kazuko: Enjoy.

Male Student: Man, these are selling like crazy.

Female Student #3: Rice balls were a great idea.

Male Student #2: Perfect festival food.

Male Student #3: They're only selling so well because the Honda twins made them so well.

*I smiled at the praise & Tohru got embarrassed*

Tohru: Oh, no,no! It wasn't a big deal.

*The class Vice Representative held up a rice ball we had shaped to look like a cat*

Vice Representative: And the cat ones are adorable!

*Kyo was holding one & looking at it like he was about to commit a crime*

Kazuko: Somehow, I don't think rice balls are the real reason we're getting a much business.

*My theory was because Yuki was wearing a really cute pink dress. Girls were surrounding him & talking pictures*


(Fruits Basket - Opening Theme - Again)


(Kazuko's POV)

*Yuki was looking uncomfortable as the girls took pictures of him. Just then, the Stalker Club, all wearing the female winter uniform, surrounded Yuki, protecting him from the paparazzi*

Motoko: Stop this! No pictures permitted without permission! Yuki clearly doesn't like it!

*She, along with Minami, Mai, & a black haired girl named Chie, created a wall in front of him*

Kazuko:*in her mind* I guess even those stooges can be useful once in a while.

*The only reason he was doing this was because a group of third year girls had practically begged him to wear during the festival. So they could have "The best memory of their three years in school." Practically the whole student body, & a few teachers, have been stopping by to get a glance of him. It's been helping us get customers, but I highly doubt Yuki's having fun. Tohru's & my eyes met with his, but he quickly turned away*

Tohru: He won't look at me. I hope I didn't make him angry somehow.

Kazuko: Don't worry about it. He's probably just embarrassed.

Ichiro:I know I would be if someone made me wear that.

Kyo: Yeah, just ignore him. He gets really insecure about his face sometimes. 'Cause it's so pretty.

Tohru: No! What should I do? I didn't realize he was so miserable. This whole time I've just been thinking how cute he looks dressed like that.

Arisa: Hey, don't sweat it. I guarantee you're not the only one.

Kyo: Seriously. In that dress, you'd never know he was a dude.

*Suddenly, a boy with blonde hair jumped on Yuki's back. I immediately recognized him from Cafe Midnight*

Momiji: Du lieber himmel! You look like ein Madchen!

*Tohru looked like she recognized him too. Then I remembered her telling me about some weird foreigner boy that kissed her on the cheek. Was this the boy she was telling me about*

Kyo: What's he doing at the festival?

Kazuko: Wait, do you know who that kid is?

*Just then, another familiar face walked in. It was the black haired guy that was with the kid*

Hatori: Momiji. Don't go wandering off on your own like that.

Momiji: Sorry, Harry!

*The guy stepped up to Yuki, who still had Momiji on his shoulders*

Hatori: So, you're looking well today, Yuki. Kyo, too.

*The Stalker Club started drooling over him*

Motoko: Are the three of you friends.

Mai: So cool . . .

*Momiji jumped off Yuki's shoulders*

Momiji: Hey! Guten tag! I'm Momiji Sohma! Half German, half Japanese. And this is Hatori Sohma. We're related to your classmates, Yuki and Kyo!

Tohru: They're in your family?

Kyo: Uh-huh.

*Tohru started looking excited, probably wondering if they were part of the Zodiac. I rolled my eyes. I will never understand why she makes such a big deal out of it*

Hatori: Now that we're all acquainted, perhaps you'd like to tell me when you became a girl.

Yuki: Based on how many times you've seen me naked, you know full well I'm not.

*The Stalker Club's faces turned bright red*

Minami: Does that mean - ?

Yuki: No way.

*Just then, Hatori pulled out a stethoscope & put it to Yuki's chest*

Hatori: Now, give me a deep breath.

Yuki: He's a doctor. But you don't need to give me an exam here.

Hatori: That would be true if you ever came by for a check-up once a month like you were promised.

*That got Tohru's & my attention. We went up to them*

Tohru: Every month?

Kazuko: Are you sick?

*Yuki looked surprised that we were worried about him*

Hatori: Yuki has some bronchial issues. He frequently has trouble breathing when he was young. You are Tohru Honda, twin sister to Kazuko Honda?

Tohru: That's me. Pleased to meet you. But how do know Kazuko?

Hatori: Momiji and I visited the cafe he works at last month.

*Tohru looked at me in surprise*

Tohru: Is that true?

Kazuko: Yes. But I never would have guessed they were part of the Sohma family.

Hatori: Indeed. Just as I never would have guessed you two would be so normal.

*Tohru & I were confused by that. Yuki suddenly got in front of us, mostly Tohru*

Yuki: Hey!

*Suddenly, the Vice Representative screamed. We turned & saw Momiji was sitting on top of the stand sign, eating a rice ball*

Vice Representative: You shouldn't climb on that sign! It's not safe!

Momiji: Why not?

Kyo: Idiot, what do you think you're doing!?

Tohru: If he falls off. I'm sorry. We'll be right back.

Kazuko: Please excuse us.

*We went to go help Kyo*


(Third-Person POV)

Yuki: Why are you here?

Hatori: If you're not thrilled that we showed up at your school, then you can take it up with Momiji. He brought home a filer and Akito got interested. *Yuki flinched. meanwhile, the twins were trying to convince Momiji to come down* Akito has a fairly high fever though, so I nixed the idea. Of course, that just meant I ended up having to come and instead. Relax. I'm not here to do anything to your new friends. *Yuki glared at him* But, let me give you a piece of advice. That threatening look doesn't work so well when you're in a dress.

Yuki: I don't need your opinion.


(Kazuko's POV)

*We went behind the curtains in the back, where we keep the supplies, Kyo carrying Momiji*

Kyo: You're such a little pain!


(Third-Person POV)

*Arisa, Saki, & Ichiro watched them, suspicious*

Arisa: Is it me, or have Tohru and Kazuko been acting real funny lately?

Ichiro: It's not just you. Maybe it's because they've been getting so friendly with the Prince and Carrot Top.

Saki: Yes. And their waves have changed. I'm concerned.


(Kazuko's POV)

*Tohru and I both signed in relief*

Momiji: Owie!

*Kyo had hit him on the head*

Kyo: Now sit here and don't move a muscle!

Momiji: Kyo hit me!

*He started crying*

Tohru: Don't do that!

Kazuko: Go easy on him, will ya?

*Momiji stopped crying & turned to us*

Momiji: Oh, hi Tohru! Hi Kazuko! *he got up & came up to us* How are you? I came to see you.

Tohru: Good afternoon. So you're in the Sohma family too then

Momiji: Ya! It must've been fate that brought us together that day.

Kyo: Wait, do you two know each other, Tohru?

Momiji: We met in Papa's building.

Kazuko: You're Dad's building?

Momiji: Oh ya. I like to hang out there. Papa's the CEO.

*That caught both of us by surprise*

Tohru: He runs the company!?

Momiji: Hey, you and Kazuko know our the secret about the Zodiac spirits, don't you, Tohru?

Tohru: Uh . . . Yeah.

Momiji: Hooray! That means it's okay if I hug you! Here I come!

*He jumped towards Tohru, but Kyo caught him by his head*

Kyo: Hold it, Romeo. We're still in public.

Kazuko: Yeah, Momiji. Maybe this can wait until another time.

Kyo: Exactly.

*Momiji ignored me & turned to Kyo*

Momiji: You can't stop me just because you like her! I bet you hug Tohru every day!

*Kyo suddenly turned red*

Kyo: I do not!

*He was so surprised that he let go of Momiji, who jumped on Tohru & hugged her*

Momiji: I gotcha!

*Suddenly, there was a puff of yellow smoke*

Female Student #4:*off-screen* Did something just explode?

Male Student #4:*off-screen* What happened back there?

*Arisa, Ichiro, the Vice Representative, & one other girl student peeked through the curtains*

Arisa: Tohru?

Ichiro: Kazuko?

*Me, Tohru, & Kyo were all frozen in place as a blonde rabbit with brown tips on it's ears was in Momiji's place, on Tohru's knees*

Female Student #5: Huh? Where'd that bunny come from?

Female Student #6: Hey, those little kid's clothes are on the floor.

Female Student #7: What? Where would he go without his clothes? That's weird.

*Suddenly, Yuki put a cute look on his face*

Yuki: Well, if that's the case, I'm weird too. Wearing these clothes when I'm a boy.

*Suddenly, everyone surrounded him, talking at once, though I could tell he was annoyed*

Male Student #5: Shut up! You're perfect!

Female Student #8: That's right! You look wonderful!

Male Student #6: You're totally passing for a girl!

Female Student #7: Have confidence!

Yuki: Thanks

*While everyone was focused on Yuki, me, Tohru, who was still holding Momiji, Kyo, & Hatori all ran out of the room*

Kazuko:*in his mind* Nice going, Yuki. Setting aside your pride to create a distraction. You're sacrifice will not be in vain.


*We made it up to the roof, with Momiji still clinging to Tohru*

Kyo: You damn brat! Do you even understand what you've done!?

Momiji: He's scary, Tohru.

Tohru: So much for guessing what Zodiac you are.

Kazuko: With all that energy, I was guessing the monkey.

Hatori: Disastrous. It's a good thing Yuki thought fast and distracted everyone.

Kyo: He can complain all he wants, but I think he likes his girly features and the atten -

*Suddenly, Yuki appeared & punched him, sending him flying into the sky. He quickly came back down*

Yuki: Should we see if I can make you go even higher?

*Kyo had a bloody nose*

Kyo: You damn rodent!

Hatori: Ah, I almost forgot there's something important i have to do. You two, line up in front of me.

Yuki: Why?

Hatori: Do as you're told.

*Yuki & Kyo looked at each other & did so*

Kyo: What is this about?

Hatori: I want you say the first thing that comes to mind. *they didn't say anything* Macaroni? *Yuki & Kyo both smiled awkwardly & Hatori snapped a picture of them. I let out a snicker. Mom played that same trick on us when we were kids* Akito told me to bring back a nice photo of you boys. See you.

*Momiji let go of Tohru & jumped on to his back*

Momiji: Jis!

Kyo: Hatori! You get back here right now!

*He chased after them*

Yuki: This is the worst. *we turned & found him on the floor, looking devastated* What will Akito say about my dress? I've gotta get out of this thing.

*He started to take the dress off*

Kazuko: What!? Here on the roof!?

Yuki: I'm sure I'll feel better once it's off.

Tohru: Sure. But just think. Everyone liked it so much.

Yuki: Boys don't like being called cute, you know.

*It's true. I didn't like it much myself. Tohru turned away from us*

Tohru: I'm sorry. The truth is I thought you looked really cute as well.

Yuki: Miss Honda, I didn't want you to see me looking like that. So pathetic.

Tohru: Um . . . Thing is. Whenever our Mother called us cute, the word always filled me with this incredible sense of happiness.

*It's true. Though it was kinda embarrassing for me*


(Flashback)

*Mom suddenly gave us both a big hug, making me blush from embarrassment*

Kyoko: You two are so cute!

Kazuko: Mom!


(Present Time)

Tohru: Because we knew was what she really meant was that she love us. *I knew that too. but that still didn't make it any less embarrassing* It was a form of love . . . between all three of us.

Kazuko:*in his mind* Mom . . . Thinking back. I kinda miss hearing her say it.

*Tohru turned back to us*

Tohru: Anyway, it think that's what our classmates meant. Just that they like you. And they, um . . . Hold on! Am - Am I making this worse for you by talking so much?

Yuki: No. Actually, what you've shared makes me feel kinda better. I guess I could give my sempais a little more fan service. *that made both Tohru & I smile* But first . . . Can one of you help me with this? There's a button stuck in my hair.

Tohru: Yeah. Sure.

Kazuko: I'll leave you to it, sis. See you guys back at the classroom.

Yuki: Alright.

*That's what I said, but I stopped behind the door, just to keep an eye on them*

Tohru: This design doesn't exactly look like it's easy to get off and on.

Yuki: If you wore it, I'd bet you'd look great.

*I could definitely picture Tohru wearing something like that*

Tohru: I don't think I could pull it off. But I wish I could. Just like a Princess.

Yuki: You'd look cute. *that made both of us freeze* It's the truth. You'd be much cuter than me. *she got that button unstuck* I swear. *he stood up, leaving my sister on her knees* Thanks for the help. We should get back inside. *I stayed quiet as I watched my sister, who looked like she was having an emotional meltdown. Yuki turned back to her as he got his blouse on* Well, come on. Let's get going.

Kazuko:*in his mind* I know he's not even trying. But Yuki can be cool when he wants to be.

*We all made our way down the stairs, but Yuki stopped*

Yuki: Oh, by the way, Miss Honda, Kazuko.

Tohru: Yes.

Yuki: About Hatori. If you ever see him again, it'd be best to avoid being alone with him.

Kazuko: Why's that?

Yuki: Because, he's the one who suppressed everyone's memories when I got found out. So I guess, I just want you to be careful around him. That's all.

*I was about to say something, but a voice interrupted me*

Arisa:*off-screen* Yo, Tohru! Kazuko!

*We looked & saw our friends waiting for us at the bottom of the stairs*

Tohru: Oh, hey. Hi, you guys.

Yuki: Well, I'll head back to the classroom.

*He went down the stairs & disappeared*

Kazuko: So, uh - What's up?

Ichiro: Spill it. Is there something about the Prince that you're hiding from the three of us

*Both of us flinched at that*

Saki: Tohru, is it possible that you and Yuki Sohma could be an item?

*Both me & Tohru started freaking out, which rarely happens*

Kazuko: What!? Don't be silly! Of course not!

Tohru: We just live with him that's all! Nothing weird's going on!

*We both flinched again. Arisa & Ichiro looked surprised. Saki gave us look that said "Don't even try to leave anything out"*

Saki: We'll need to to explain.

*It was official. We're totally busted*


*After the festival was over, we explained everything to our friends. Everyone was already taking everything down*

Tohru: We're sorry that we didn't tell you what was going on.

Kazuko: But we're fine now, honest. They're great people, so there's no worries.

Saki: I don't know that I've ever been more shocked in my life.

Arisa: I did notice that you two've been weirdly the Prince and Carrots lately, which had me confused. But now I get why.

Ichiro: Heh. I can just imagine the Stalker Club flying into a jealous rage if they ever found out about this.

*Tohru & I both sweat dropped at that*

Saki: Perhaps we should invite ourselves over.

Tohru & Kazuko: Huh?

Saki: That way we can personally assess the environment. And make sure it's good for you.

Arisa: Ooh, that's a killer idea! Let's go right now!

Saki: Hold on. If they don't expect us, there may not be snacks on hand.

Arisa: Okay, yeah. Good point. But I'm still concerned here!

Ichiro: Me too.

Saki: Agreed. Fortunately, it's a school holiday tomorrow.

Tohru: Uh . . . You guys . . .

Kazuko: You can't just . . .

Saki: Let's sleep over tonight. Strike while the iron is hot, as they say.

*Tohru & I both flinched again*

Arisa: It'll be awesome! We'll go straight home after school and we'll grab our stuff.

Ichiro: And we won't cause any trouble.

*Both of us were speechless at this*


*That night, Saki, Arisa, & Ichiro arrived at Shigure's house*

Arisa: Yo, yo.

Saki: Evening.

Ichiro: What's up?

Shigure: Hello. So glad you're here.

Tohru: Sorry about this. I know we didn't give you much warning that they were coming.

Kazuko: It's kinda hard to stop them once they get an idea like this in their heads.

Shigure: Nah. Never you mind.

Kyo:*whispering* Shigure. *he turned to Yuki & Kyo* Are you sure about this? Word around school is you shouldn't underestimate Wave Girl.

Shigure:*whispering* Que sera sera. This'll work out fine. Don't be so nervous.

Saki: A dog. *all three of them flinched* Well, hello there.

*Apparently, a dog had snuck up on his & was at the front step*

Shigure: Ah, now that's unexpected. Bad boy. You go back outside.

*Kyo, Yuki, & I relaxed & Tohru just nervously chuckled*


*We all went into the dinning room, where Tohru served tea*

Tohru: Here you go.

Arisa: Great. Thank you.

*Ichiro turned to Shigure*

Ichiro: So, Shigure, was it? What do you do for a living?

Shigure: Oh, me? Well, I'm a writer. A novelist.

*Tohru stood up, surprised*

Tohru: Wait, hold up!? You write books!?

Arisa: Why are you surprised by that?

Kazuko: You seriously didn't know that?

Tohru: Why didn't you tell me?

Kazuko: I thought it was obvious. He hardly leaves the house and his always lazing around. Pretty much the life you'd expect from a novelist.

Shigure: Hurtful . . .

Yuki: What do you call it? High literature?

Shigure: Yep. That's right. *suddenly, he pulled out a book titled "Summer Sigh"* Stories like this. *we all flinched at that* Whoops! Sorry. Grabbed the wrong book. *he pulled out a different book titled "Palpitations"* This here is more what I'm interested in. This is just a silly one I wrote for fun.

Arisa: Yeah! But that doesn't change the fact that you did write it!

*Saku started reading it*

*Tohru suddenly got sparkles in her eyes & a big smile on her face*

Tohru: That is so impressive! I can't believe I didn't know! I never dreamed I might personally meet an author in real life!

*Shigure looked like he was bragging*

Shigure: Oh stop.

Yuki: Careful. Praising him will just inflate his ego.

Kyo: I don't know if it's possible for his head to get any bigger than it is.

*I noticed Arisa & Ichiro looking forlorn*

Tohru: Oh hey! I just thought of something that might be fun! Wait here. I'll be right back!

Kazuko: I think I know what you're talking about. I'll help you look.

*We left the room*


(Third-Person POV)

Shigure: On that note, *he stood up* Unfortunately, I've got a prior commitment tonight. Kids try not to have too much fun.

*He left the room*

Arisa: So, they're both fine. In fact it seems they're fitting in well here.

Ichiro: Yeah . . .

Arisa: I'm happy about that. And I know they only kept it from us so we wouldn't worry. Still . . . We swore we'd be there if they ever needed help. Anything. Maybe that sounds dramatic to you, but Tohru and Kazuko were the first friends we ever had. And in a lot of ways, they saved us. I don't expect either of you to understand that. I just hate this. The fact that we didn't notice know to support them when they needed us. It's like they do all the work in our friendship, but can't count on us for putting in the same energy. Is it even worth being friends with us?

Ichiro: I wish I knew.

*Everyone was quiet for a while*

Kyo: Look, you're good. They're not the type of people who sweats stuff like that.

Yuki: Miss Honda and Kazuko, they deserve the moon, but would never ask you for it.

*All three of them were surprised by what they said*


(Kazuko's POV)

Tohru: Sorry for taking so long!

Kazuko: It took us a while to find the cards.

*Tohru took out a stack of cards*

Tohru: Let's play Rich Man, Poor Man!

*Yuki looked surprised*

Saki: That's a brilliant idea. I'm in.

Ichiro: That makes two of us!

Arisa: Aw, yeah! I can't wait to school copper top over here.

Kyo: Not a chance! I'll beat you and when I do, you gotta dye your hair black, got it!?

*Tohru gave Yuki the cards*

Tohru: Care to do the honors? Cut the cards for us?

*Yuki looked more surprised, but his cheeks turned red*

Yuki: Yeah . . . Sure . . .

*I gave him a smirk & he blushed even harder*


(Third-Person POV)

*Meanwhile, Shigure arrived at the main house & went to see Akito*

Shigure: How are you feeling? Yuki and Kyo seem much happier. And I'm certain that's because Tohru and Kazuko are living with us now. I hope things continue on a positive track. I know you're real goal. I assume you think this will fail. But you're out of luck. Because you see, Tohru and Kazuko are much better people than you are.

Akito: You don't have to say it. I know I always ask for the moon.


(Kazuko's POV)

*Later that night, we were all getting ready for bed. Saki & Arisa were in Tohru's room & Ichiro was in my room, which now had a bed, a closet, & a desk. Ichiro lay back on my bed in his pajamas & I was in mine*

Ichiro: Man! I still can't believe the Prince beat me! Did he really say that it was his first time playing?

Kazuko: Yep. I came pretty close to beating him.

Ichiro: You know, that I think about it. Where did this bed come from? It's so comfy.

Kazuko: Shigure bought me and Tohru a new one each.

Ichiro: Wow. Where'd he get that much money?

Kazuko: Probably from the main family. Anyway, let's go check on the girls.

Ichiro: Yeah.

*We got up and went to the girl's room*

Kazuko: Knock, knock. *the girls looked up & smiled* So, how's everyone in here?

Tohru: We're fine.

*Arisa noticed something*

Arisa: Whoa, Tohru. I can't believe you still have that old hat.

Tohru: Of course I do. It's an important momento.

Saki: Really. What's the story?

Kazuko: Oh, that's right. I don't think we've ever told you that one. It's from when we were kids. In elementary school, the boys bullied Tohru whenever I wasn't around.

Tohru: One day, they were chasing me and I was so scared as I ran away from them that I completely lost track of where I was. I hid because I was afraid they would find me. And eventually, I just sat there bawling my eyes out.

Kazuko: That day was pretty scary for me too. I was so worried that I ran around the neighborhood for hours, searching for her. At one point, I even ran into the boys that always picked on her. When I asked where they were, they denied having seen her at all. I was just about ready to beat them up, but they ran away.

Ichiro: Heh, chickens.

Tohru: Anyway, that's when I saw a boy across the street. And he was wearing this hat. He stood and stared at me for a little while. But then he ran off. Without saying a word. And for some reason, I chased after him. Like it was on instinct. I almost lost sight of him so many times. But he'd wait for me to catch up. And thanks to this mysterious boy, I found myself outside of my apartment building once again.

Kazuko: That was when I got home. I soon as I saw her, I immediately called for Mom, who came running down the stairs & we both ran into her arms, crying.

Saki: That's a wonderful memory. If the two of you met again later and fell in love, it'd be an even better story.

Ichiro: Yeah. Sounds like something out of a romance movie.

Tohru: I won't holding my breath.

Kazuko: Me neither.

Arisa: Hey, it's a small world. You never know. Might happen.

Tohru: That's true. If I did meet him again, I'd at least like to thank him for what he did.

Kazuko: Me too. He really saved the day.

Tohru: He's probably forgotten all about it by now though. I bet it was just another day for him. But still. He holds a special place in my heart.

Kazuko:*in his mind* I think that boy might have been Tohru's first love.

Ichiro: You poor kids. You even had a rough life when you were little, didn't you?

Tohru: Oh no, I wouldn't say that at all. I recently learned exactly how lucky we both are. And I won't take that for granted.

Kazuko: Me neither. We get to live in this house with the Sohmas, we had the most incredible Mother, and we three of the best friends that we could ever ask for. *I looked at Saki**in his mind* Although, I wish I had the courage to tell Saki that I want to be more than just friends.

Tohru: Right. Named Hana-chan, Uo-chan, and Toko-kun. Right here by our sides. We know you three will always have our backs. How could we possibly be ungrateful when we have people who care? I can't tell you what what means to me.

Kazuko: Me neither. Or how fortunate it makes us feel. We love you guys.


(Third-Person POV)

*Arisa & Ichiro remembered what Yuki & Kyo said*


(Flashback)

Kyo: Look, you're good. They're not the type of people who sweats stuff like that.

Yuki: Miss Honda and Kazuko, they deserve the moon, but would never ask you for it.


(Present Time)

*Tohru got up & put the hat next to Mom's picture*

Tohru: Alright. We should probably be getting to sleep.

Kazuko: Good idea. It's getting late.

Arisa: They really do get them, don't they?

Ichiro: Yep.

Tohru & Kazuko: What?

Saki: It's true. They see straight through to their essence. Their ability to appreciate what they have in the moment, instead of always looking ahead, wishing they had more. An incomparable friendship.

Arisa: That's right.

Tohru: Yours too.

*Then we said good night to the girls & went to sleep. I slept in my bed & Ichiro slept on the floor in a sleeping bag*


*The next morning, Tohru & I were making breakfast. Kyo was drinking milk straight from the carton, as usual. Then Yuki came in, drying his hair with a towel*

Yuki: Cretan. I've told you not to drink straight from the carton.

Tohru: Oh, good morning.

Kazuko: Hope you slept well.

Kyo: Lay off me, stuck-up rat!

*Suddenly, Yuki kicked him in the back of the knee, making him spill the milk*

Yuki: Oops. Looks like you've spilled the milk. Go and buy more for us.

Kyo: You jerk! That's it! We're settling this right now!

*Just then, Saki, Arisa, & Ichiro entered the room*

Saki: A cat and a rat. *all four of us flinched* Uncanny.

Tohru: Oh, hello! You're up! Can we get you something!?

Arisa:*to Saki* Why do you say that?

Saki: You know. They're like that cartoon. With the cat and the mouse.

Ichiro: Oh yeah. Tom and Jerry.

Saki: Still. This seems like a fun house to live in. I decided that if I came over and found out it was a bad environment for Tohru and Kazuko, then I'd do all sorts of things to the two of you.

Kyo: What kind of things?

Yuki: Like what?

Saki: Has anyone ever told you . . . That your waves are quite nice? *the guys looked confused. I just shrugged at them* Oh, you didn't realize it. Well, that's good too.

*Saki & Arisa put their arms around Tohru & Ichiro out his arm around my shoulders*

Arisa: Well, we're counting on the two of you.

Saki: Please look after them.

Ichiro: And keep them out of trouble.

*I grinned at Ichiro & Tohru started crying*

Tohru: You guys . . . We're okay . . . But thank for caring so much about us.

*Then they let go & headed to the table where we laid breakfast*

Saki: Now, let's have breakfast.

Arisa: We'll have to come back and visit here again.

Ichiro: Definitely.

Saki: Yes. I'd like to investigate the Sohma family's strange waves.

Kyo: Whoa, whoa, whoa! She's gotta be kidding!

Tohru:*whispering* Um . . . I promise that we'll be super careful, kay. Your secret will not get out.

Kazuko:*whispering* We'll be extra careful around them from now on. Plus they're both really good people. We swear.

Kyo: Yeah, fine. Have it your way.

Yuki: Yes, they are your friends after all.

*We both smiled at them. Just then, the phone rang. We both went to answer it*

Kazuko: Hello?

Hatori:*off-screen* Is this Kazuko Honda?

Kazuko: Yes. Who's calling?

Hatori:*off-screen* Hatori Sohma. *we both flinched* I met you and your sister at the festival yesterday. I'll cut to the chase. I need you and your sister to come to the Sohma Estate on your next days off.

Kazuko: Excuse me?

Hatori:*off-screen* I have something important I must discuss with you both. Don't tell anyone about this. You'll come by yourselves as well.

*Then I remembered what Yuki told us about him yesterday*


(Flashback)

Yuki: He's the one who suppressed everyone's memories when I got found out. So I guess, I just want you to be careful around him. That's all.


(Present Time)

*Both of us were panicking on the inside*

Kazuko:*in his mind* This isn't good. I know Mom said we should give people the benefit of the doubt, but still . . .

Hatori:*off-screen* If you don't show up, I trust you know what'll happen.

Kazuko: Right . . . We'll be there.

Hatori:*off-screen* Good. And who knows, you may even get to meet Akito.

*Now that made me nervous. Then he hung up*
