Chapter 5
Izumi finished washing the last bit of the dishes. She had gotten up early with Torhu to clean the mess that was called the kitchen. She couldn't understand how two people could live like this with all that trash in the kitchen. She had even helped Tohru with dinner as well.
Yuki came into the kitchen his eyes widening in awe seeing that the kitchen was cleaned by both of the young women. "Wow…"
"We did our best." Torhu said wiping her brow looking over at Yuki.
"I can't believe you took that gross kitchen and made it spick and span."
"Dinner is also ready too." Izumi said wiping her hands off on the dish towel that was in her hands.
Yuki came over and looked the rice cooker over. "I didn't realize we had a rice cooker."
"I uncovered it." Torhu said with a smile.
"The table is all set up." Izumi said with a small smile.
Yuki came into the other room seeing that the table was indeed set up. He joined the two girls at the table.
Izumi bit her lip as she looked at the food that she had placed into bowls onto the table. She carefully took one of the bowls moving it towards her.
Yuki picked up one of the bowls and took a nibble of the food that he had. He let out a hum of deligh. "It's good."
Izumi looked up shyly. "Doens't need more seasoning?" She questioned looking over at her sister knowing that it was the same question that she had on her lips.
Yuki smiled at Izumi. "It's perfect. I haven't had a meal like this in a long time… Anyway, I wonder where Shigure and that stupid cat went."
Tohru hummed thinking for a moment. "Good question. They left early this morning and have been gone for a while."
"Not that I care. But the nice meal you two made will get cold."
"It can always be reheated." Izumi said softly nibbling some on her food.
Tohru looked up at Yuki. "Sohma-Kun, you went out before, right? Were you shopping?"
"Yeah. For my secret base…. In the backyard."
"Secret base?! Wow… that sound exciting." Tohru said with a smile.
"It's probably different from what you're thinking Honda-san. But if you'd like you can come with me next time. Your sister can come as well."
Izumi felt her heart swell in happiness. She would love to see the secret base and what it was about.
"What? Really?! I… I'd love to go to a secret base."
Izumi let out a soft chuckle at Tohru's antics. Her head went up when she heard the door opening. She blinked a few times lowering her chopsticks as Kyo and Shigure coming into the house.
"Shut up already!"
"Just listen to me, Kyo."
"You tick me off! Do you enjoy rolling people around in the palm of your hand?"
"Wait a second! If you ask me, then, yes, I do enjoy it, but this is for your sake!"
"You're not convincing me at all!"
Tohru looked up biting her lower lip softly. "Um, welcome home. Dinner is…"
"I don't want any!"
"Kyo!" Shigure snapped at the orange haired man.
Izumi's brow twitched in dislike of Kyo snapping at Tohru. After all Tohru had nothing to do with the bad mood that he was in and it didn't mean that he had to take it out on her. Tohru was just being her sweet self. "Jerk." She muttered as she picked up her chopsticks.
"Don't take it out on Tohru-kun. And enter the house properly. Shoes off at the door."
"Shigure, you don't have a leg to stand on." Yuki said shaking his head.
Tohru looked at Shigure in awe seeing what he was wearing. "This is the first time I've seen you wear a suit. It looks good on you."
"Oh? Does it? Does it really?"
"Looks like you work at a male host club." Yuki said as he put more food into his mouth.
Izumi let out a soft chuckle as she began to eat. "Of course he would say that and of course he's not wrong." Izumi thought with a small smile as she nibbled on her food.
"Dinner's ready."
"But what's wrong with Kyo-San?" Tohru asked softly looking at Shigure.
Izumi eyed the older man wondering what he was going to say.
"Oh him. He's mad so let's leave him be. I tricked him into taking the transfer student entrance exam today."
Izumi's brow raised. "Transfer student exam… why would he be upset with that? It's not like he's going to our…"
"In other words, starting tomorrow… the four of you will be attending the same high school."
Izumi dropped her chopsticks. Dealing with Kyo at home was one thing, but dealing with him in school was something different altogether.
Yuki shot up from where he sat narrowing his eyes at Shigure. "Don't eat. Stay away from me. Get out…"
Shigure let out a soft chuckle as he looked at Yuki. "Yes, well, I figured you would be angry. You see… Kyo stopped going to the local boys school he was enrolled in, and vanished for four months. No one including myself and Yuki-kun knew where he'd been, but he finally told me today. He said he was training in the mountains."
Izumi gathered up the food bowls and that letting out a breath heading towards the kitchen. She didn't like the idea that Kyo was going to the school. She dreaded the thought of going to school and dealing with him there since he was a jerk at home, did it mean that he was also going to be a jerk there at school as well. She put the dishes into the sink and began to wash the dishes that were used. She let out a soft breath as Tohru and Yuki were listening to Shigure and talking to him about Kyo.
FRUIT BASKETS
Izumi laid back on the bed that she shared with Tohru. Her arms were above her head as she took a breath closing her eyes.
Tohru slowly came into the room and looked at her sister with a curious gaze. "Are you upset that Kyo-san is joining us at the school."
Izumi let out a groan shifting on the bed sitting up stretching out her shoulders and arms. She ran her hand through her dark short hair. "Yes, I kind of am, but nothing that I can do about that now can I?"
"What is making you so upset?" Tohru questioned as she began to change her clothes into her night clothes.
Izumi took a soft breath. "If he acts this way at home, what make you think that he won't do the same thing at school? Plus he's not use to being around girls…"
"You're worried that he is going to snap?" Tohru asked curiously looking over at her sister with a curious gaze.
"Honestly I do not know." Izumi said as she began to change her clothes. She let out a breath as she slipped on a pair of sleep pants and a shirt. "But he needs to reign in his anger… it could end up hurting someone."
Tohru let out a soft breath. "Well we can only hope that won't happen."
Izumi slowly rolled the blankets down on the bed. "You were really worried about him being that upset?"
"No one should ever be that upset." Tohru said softly looking over at her sister.
Izumi pursed her lips together in thought. "I suppose you're right, but with him he's like a cauldron about to blow from a misused spell or something." Izumi said shaking her head lightly.

This is the end of Chapter 5. I hope that you guys enjoyed this chapter. I tried my best to write this chapter out. I once again split the episode/chapter up to make it more manageable so it wouldn't be so long. I hope that it worked out well. Please leave a review and let me know what you think of this chapter. Reviews help me keep going when it comes to writing out the chapters and it keeps me going with my muse. I hope to have the next chapter in two weeks. Until next time.
