Fruits Basket Fan Fiction ❯ Rising Affections ❯ Shigure's plan part 2 ( Chapter 5 )

I still don't own it. I May have to put my standard warning back up in a chapter or two.

 

 

6. Shigure's plan 2

 

 

“It worked, they actually let me carry out the high school girls shower fantasy day,” Shigure thought. “This is great, Hari is strung tighter than an E string and Aaya is about to break. They can barely keep their hands off of each other. Those two really deserve to be together. I hope it happens soon. If they were to sneak off together and leave me here to entertain myself, well I wouldn't complain. Otherwise I am sure I won't be able to talk them into staying on for the next class. Too bad too, gotta love the scenery here”

 

Shigure was letting his mind wander about the things he would love to be doing with each and every girl in the locker room if he could; like having a pleasant leisurely titty-fuck between the generous, perky breasts of the red headed foreign exchange student that was currently lathering herself up in the shower, or having hot animal sex with the volleyball team's star player who was over by the benches rubbing lotion onto her long trim legs. Many fantasies flitted through his brain. There were even thoughts of his chances of being allowed to join in if his two friends did start fooling around again, like he so hoped they would. He put that at about 15 percent. Not great odds but better than the lottery, and someone usually won that right? (I'd give more detailed descriptions of his thoughts and more perverted fantasies, but then you'd need serious mental floss). Somewhere along the line his hand had made it to his crotch ghosting over the sensitive areas with enough pressure to cause pleasure but not to end his fun anytime soon. This was too good to just beat off without taking his time to enjoy it. He had planned everything so well, and it worked. He felt positively giddy. `High school girls high school girls all for me high school girls.' He chanted in his head. They even smelled nice.

 

 

As Shigure leaned into the fan for a better whiff of eau de girl's shower, the electric fan overpowered his usually-keen sense of hearing. This is what allowed the police woman to get the drop on him and before he knew it he was grabbed by the arms and yarded upright onto his feet. This also caused him to topple backwards into her producing a familiar concussive noise and smoke cloud that heralded his transformation into a big black dog. He let out a yelp and ran out of the tunnel before anyone could catch him.

 

`Oh crap! oh crap! This was not supposed to happen'. He watched from the bushes beside the gym as the police loaded Ayame and Hatori into their car and pulled out. `Hatori is going to kill me and Aaya will dress my corpse like a whore for the viewing' he thought to himself. `What went wrong?' He snuck closer to the remaining two officers as they questioned someone. As he listened it all fell into place. A teacher returning from lunch hour a little late had noticed the padlock was missing from the storage area. Since there was no way to tell who was in the tunnel for what reason, he called the police to investigate it. `Shit! I forgot to put the padlock back after we got in, it would have looked like usual at a glance, but I put it in my pocket with the key. I goofed. I got them arrested… I need a hug.' he thought heading into the girls showers. There was a little fuss at the arrival of a stray dog, but he did get hugged by several of the girls as they herded him up into the gym proper. This almost made up for everything until the animal control officer showed up. Shigure was busy doing his utmost to show his appreciation to the volleyball captain when a rope was slipped around his neck, it tightened and with some effort pulled him off of her leg. “Damn!” he thought, with a sigh, “couldn't he have waited a few more moments?”

 

The animal control officer basically dragged Shigure toward the door.

 

“If no one claims him I will adopt him!” the girl called after them as they left the gym. `Holy… was she into it? I have got to find out, what was her name?' He tried to pull against the rope leash, but the animal control officer just physically hauled him out to the mobile kennel. Shigure began howling loudly and pathetically as the truck pulled away.

 

`Oh, this stinks' he thought as his nose was assaulted by the incredible pungency of the animal shelter. `What I wouldn't give to have but a hint of the delightful aroma from the showers earlier to combat this funk.' He was pushed into a not very clean pen with a bowl of water and a torn up blanket on the concrete floor. The door was shut on his cage and the animal control officer left without a word. `Well it sucks to be me today especially once Hatori catches up to me again. He thought grimly. I hope He has managed to get himself and Aaya away from the cops.' A few minutes later Shigure had the only thing he needed to get out of the pound… thumbs.

 

Upon exiting the cage he filched a blanket from the pile of supplies he found in one of the pens that wasn't occupied. Wrapping it around his waist he made his escape out the back door. It was a very long trip home, many times he had to smile sheepishly and nod his head mumbling something like “her father came home unexpectedly” many people laughed. One nice old lady took pity on him and handed him a yukata from a laundry basket she was carrying home. It was a bit large on him, but much better than the smelly dog blanket.

Officer Yasunaga opened the little bottle of ibuprofen and took several with the last dregs of the now cold coffee in his mug. The doctor's report said there was nothing wrong with his junior officer, except that he could not remember being given neither the suspects nor his orders to deliver them to Juvenile for holding. He really didn't want to have this case investigated too closely it was just too strange. Officer Mishito said she was sure the two boys were aliens from another planet. Her speculations sounded like something right out of a bad science fiction movie. He was more than willing to forget the whole thing at this point. They were busted for trespassing after all, it's just not a major enough crime to require manpower being spent looking for them. He looked over the file one more time, sighing heavily, before putting this one in the cold case file.

“Well, that was fun,” quipped Aayme as the two boys walked down the sparsely populated sidewalk. It was going to be a long walk back to their school to get their belongings. The police had confiscated all of their personal effects including the money for a return train ticket.

 

 

`Hardly,” Hatori grunted. “Why did you have to call me koibito in the police station?” he asked flatly.

 

 

“I could have called you Sohma Hatori-san, I suppose, but that would have killed the whole assumed name thing. Then you would have had to tamper with a lot more people's memories, not just the one officer. Although as an afterthought, if you get the chance to mess with that Yasunaga's head, please do so. I didn't really like him much.”

 

“I don't use my ability like that and you know it. If I did …”

 

“If you did I wouldn't remember yesterday afternoon by now, but in that case, I would have to wonder; how many times has that happened?” Ayame said. One finger went to his lips tapping them thoughtfully as he rolled his eyes dramatically, apparently considering the possibility before continuing “and that's not really your style, more like something `Gure would pull. Maybe, if you want, we can try pretending to forget about it?” He asked grinning widely.

 

“Dammit Aya! Is this that amusing? Is it some sort of a game or joke to you?” Hatori cut in before he could continue.

 

 

“No, `Tori, it's not. I am just very nervous about this. You know me. If I wasn't so anxious I would be able to just shut up and let you talk.” He noticed the dark look on Hatori's face, “Shutting up now.”

 

 

“Aya, you know I can't just ignore what occurred between us,” Hatori began, looking ahead of him and walking slowly as he spoke. “And I won't pretend it didn't happen. It's impossible. It would be like trying to ignore the proverbial elephant in the living room. You are a large part of my life, have been for years. I gave it a lot of thought last night. I know you have certain feelings for me and…”

 

 

“Tori, Don't!” Ayame all but shouted, drawing odd looks from a few bystanders. He stopped in his tracks and grabbed Hatori's arm, spinning him around so they faced each other. Then he continued more quietly, “You can call me a coward if you must but I don't think I can take it. I will do anything you say, anything at all you want me to do, just don't tell me whatever you were going to just now, ok? You know, we have been friends since we could walk. I remember catching snails in the garden and having snail races on the flat rock by the fish pond when we were five. I stood by you, rubbing your back while you barfed your guts up after smoking your first cigar. I will be your best man when you marry some cute curvy little brunette eventually. I have always been and I always will be your friend so there isn't any need for the drama. I'll get over it, just don't give me words to mull over and beat myself up with please.”

 

“Aya that was a really nice speech, and all…uhm… Anything I say huh?” Hatori asked.

 

 

The other boy nodded as Hatori stepped closer; leaning forward so that his mouth was even with his cousin's ear.

 

 

“All right, then shut up and keep moving…koibito” He said, barely whispering the last word as he turned and gave Ayame a push on the back to start him moving again.

 

Ayame stumbled a bit as he opened his mouth and shut it a few times but didn't say anything. Then he began the long walk back to school with a puzzled look on his face.

 

 

`I could get used to this,' Hatori mused. `I never thought about my own feelings toward Aya till last night, he has always been pretty near as much a part of me as my arm is. On one hand seeing each other would be very risky, and heaven help us if anyone in the family found out about it. Then there is the matter of Shigure. I think today was all about the fool dog being jealous. The three of us have always done everything together, but …er …no; especially not after the whole blackmail thing. I really need to put an end to that somehow. Of course, on the other hand, I haven't even had a real interest in anyone until now. After yesterday, well I seem to have developed quite an interest in Aya. So, I am willing to explore this, whatever we have started, but I can wait a while to let him know. At least until we aren't walking down a public street.'

 

 

 

AN: It's kind of short, and maybe a bit rushed, but I have had other projects to do. I got a paid commission piece for some art work completed this week, Yay!!! Thanks to all of my reviewers. I'd thank you individually but I am running out of time today and I want to post this so once again thanks muchly.

Also many thanks to Shae for once again finding the time to beta over my crappy punctuation skills for me.

 

Oh, and the locker room set up with the storage tunnel. Honest truth was based on the school I went to Jr. High in. And yes some guys did get caught trying to peep. So that's where that came from.
