CHAPTER 1: CLANDESTINE

After Akito's death, the Souma Juunishi's had experienced peace at last.

CHEPOT: (sticking her tongue out) sorry for all those Akito fans out there.... I really want him dead.

It was another day in Shigure's house. Ever since Akito's death, which was 8 months ago, Shigure's house, has served as everyone's pit stop to see their hime-sama, Tohru. Momiji and Haru stay there every once in a while to avoid the long journey from their home to school. While Ayame just drops by for the occasional annoyance that he provides for his dear brother, Yuki. Hatori also makes an excuse for his check ups to see if everything is fine around Shigure's household.

It's a hazy Thursday morning, and Momiji is more than eager to convince Tohru to take a bath with him while Kyo is still asleep. He has always loved to be with Tohru cause she makes him feel unique and appreciated. But he never quite got the idea why he and Tohru can't bathe together.

"Let's go take a bath Tohru!" Momiji screamed gleefully at Tohru who's walking towards the bath.

But Kyo is always there to stop Momiji's childhood fantasy.

"Not in a million years you little runt!" Kyo shouted while twitching his knuckles on Momiji's temples.

Momiji cried in pain while Tohru, who seemed to be in deep thought, just watched the two fight.

"Uhhhh"... Yuki groaned lazily as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes. "What's with all the noise..."? Yuki sees Kyo hurting Momiji "oh...so it's you... the stupid cat ...stop trying to bathe with Honda san!..."He said as he threw something at the poor cat's face.

Kyo burned in anger at his eternal rival "YOU INCOMPETENT MOUSE! I AM NOT PLANNING TO TAKE A BATH WITH HER! WHY WOULD I?!"

Shigure, carrying his mischievous smile, snuck his head out of the other room "Poor Tohru.... Kyo doesn't think you're sexy enough to bathe with...but don't worry Tohru-honey...I'm still willing to bathe with you..." Shigure said with a kissy face.

"PERVERT!" Yuki and Kyo's battle cry echoed all over the house

"HUH?" Haru woke up from his room upstairs...

The next scene:

Shigure lying unconscious on the tatami floor while Yuki, Momiji and Kyo are sitting at the table waiting for their turn in the bathroom.

CHEPOT: (CRY poor Shigure.... but that was really perverted.... isn't he cute when he's like that?

"Aaaahh... but I want to bathe with Tohru!" Momiji pouted and cried as he clinged onto Yuki.

"You know you can't do that Momiji...." Yuki responded with a brotherly tone.

"Besides ... she's a g-g-girl..."Kyo added with a grunt

Momiji smiled at Kyo and said "Then Kyo.... will you bathe with me!" he shouted gleefully at the obviously irritated cat.

Kyo's face darkened and...."Omae wo Kuruso!!!!"(I'll kill you in English) Kyo rubbed his knuckles against Momiji temples, which made the poor bunny boy cry.

Haru entered the room and looked around...."Why is he unconscious?" he said while pointing to the poor (and cute) unconscious gure-san.

"He was being a dirty old man again," Momiji answered with a smiling happy face.

"You did this?" Haru sat beside Yuki and Momiji.

Kyo grunted in response.

"He's such a dirty old man" Yuki smirked at Shigure's lifeless body.

After getting ready, everyone ate breakfast and started off for school....

"Ittekimasu!" everyone said before leaving the house...

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Intermission: after everyone left the set, CHEPOT ran to Shigure

CHEPOT: (shaking the unconscious Shigure) gure-sama! Please say something! Say anything! Please tell me you're not dead! ...NOOOOOOOO!

Gure: arf! Arf!

CHEPOT: huh? Eeeek! Dog!!!! I'm allergic to dogs!!!!! (Runs screaming to a wall)(FAINT)

So who's unconscious now?

End of intermission

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The group continued on their way to school...

"Haru...do you have extra credit reports due today?" Momiji asked

"No" Haru simply replied while brushing his hair aside

Kyo interrupted "looks like cow is smarter than the dim-witted bunny wabbit"

Momiji pouted at Kyo for saying such a mean thing and turned to Yuki for defense against Kyo's offensive insult.

"Look who's talking …baka-neko" Yuki proceeded ahead of the others

The boys continued to argue while Tohru drowned in her thought...absentmindedly slammed straight into a light post....

"BLAG!" there was red...white.... blue and stars!

"E-he-he-he" Tohru's swirling vision faded into a pitch black.

Moments later, Tohru woke up in the clinic where she was surrounded by her friends.

"Oh Tohru! My poor baby!" Arisa immediately cuddled Tohru who's half awake…

"Whu- what happened?" Tohru asked with a big question mark above her head…

Yuki sat beside her and worriedly said, "You ran into a light post and fainted"

"WHY AREN"T YOU PAYING ATTENTION TO WHERE YOU WERE GOING?!!!" Kyo couldn't hold his temper and shouted at Tohru…

"Don't you dare talk to Tohru like that or I'll. … Bleeeeeep " …. Hana-chan appeared from Kyo's back releasing electric waves…

Kyo shivered slightly and "Y-You don't s-scare me…"

"Yeah right and you're not shivering either" Arisa commented while pointing at Kyo's shivering legs

"WHY YOU" Kyo fumed in anger "DON'T MAKE FUN OF ME!"

Arisa took out her almighty metal pole and threatened the poor cat "Do you want me to do it Hana-chan?"

And with that Arisa, Hana-chan and Kyo started a bout

CHEPOT: street fighter theme playing in the background ROUND ONE! FIGHT!

While the three misfits are fighting, Yuki turned to Tohru who seems to be lost in deep thought.

"Is there a problem Honda-san?" Yuki asked Tohru with great traces of worry in his eyes.

Tohru looked at Yuki and said "ca-can I talk to you. …After class?"

Yuki, still puzzled, agreed to her request and both agreed to meet after school.
