Chapter 5-- The set up

"What!" Kyo screams. "No. No way! You are not doing this." Kyo stands up and gets ready to kick the offending snake out of the house.

"What? You would let this opportunity for Tohru to shine pass by?" Ayame counters looking around for Tohru, making Kyo pause to look at her too.

"Me, Ayame?" Tohru looks over and stammers "What can you be.."

"Leave it to me! My princess, I will show you the appreciation you deserve!" Ayame proclaims, dropping his equipment to head towards the still stammering rice ball. There he is blocked again by two boys with fiery battle auras.

"Don't touch her, you baka snake!" Kyo screams while pointy hair shoots out around him.

"Stay away from her, you pervert!" Yuki coldly intones, giving the snake the coldest stare.

"Aya, to what do we owe the pleasure of your company two days in a row?" Shigure asks, trying to distract the hebi.

"Do I need a reason? Shigure how can I stay away from you?" He turns towards the dog in a split second change of target. "Have you missed me? Have you been good? Will you sing for me?"

"Aya, of course I will sing for you!" Shigure returns with a leer.

"Oh man, can't you guys quit it!" Kyo screams disgustedly.

"But lucky Kyo, I am here for you too!" Aya coos with a flick of his eye lashes.

"WHAT!!" Sprouting ears and his full tail in agitation.

"I have brought wardrobes for everyone. I am sure Yuki will look fabulous in this.."

"No, no way! Why are You here?" Yuki chimes in.

While the others are watching the festivities of the two brothers trying to get themselves sorted out. One trying to get his brother into his designated wardrobe for the evening. The other trying to man handle the other out of the living room with intent of eviction from the house. Hiro moves over closer to Haru and Kisa, who are watching a sputtering cat look at the artfully boxed purple and green clothing.

"You know cat, that green would look good on you." Hiro observes in a falsetto voice. "It would so go with your hair."

"Why you little brat!" The overly stressed temperamental cat starts towards Hiro.

"Clothes, Ayame? Did you bring something for me to wear?" Tohru asks with a wispy voice, looking over at the still struggling siblings.

"Of course I did!" Aya cries, pulling away from Yuki. "Yours is in one of the boxes Haru carried in." He looks at the cow. "Where did you put that big white box?"

Haru just points out into the hall, giving the snake a look that says loud and clear where do you think it is? This sends Ayame careening off into the hallway.

Kyo walks over to Tohru "You don't have to wear it, you know"

"Oh but that would be ungrateful, especially if he brought me a beautiful outfit like he showed me last time." Tohru turns to look at Kyo.

Walking up behind her, Yuki says ,"Ms. Honda you don't have to wear it just because he brought it"

"I am not wearing anything he made," snaps Kyo.

"I doubt I will try on mine either," Yuki adds.

"But why not? Ayame makes such amazing clothes, and I am sure he has taken great pains to pick things that will look..." Blushing, Tohru turns towards the rest of their guests.

Turning to each other the two boys had one of those rare moments of agreement: We are not wearing any of it

Returning to the room with a big white box, Aya rushes over to Tohru. " I made this for you! It was inspired by this movie I was watching, Karma Sutra." This causes Hatori, Haru and Shigure to turn around. Shigure starts forward with an evil smile.

"You should have seen the fabric in this movie. The colors were so rich" continues our plotter without so much as a pause. He opens the box with a flourish and brings out a wondrous blue dress.

"Oh sissy, it is beautiful." Kisa sighs

Tohru is completely dumbfounded. Holding the dress in front of her, Ayame sees her shock and starts pulling her towards the door. "Here lets get you into it.."

" No, no you don't!" Kyo hisses, " IF she wants to wear it, she can put it on herself!"

Aya looks at him doubtfully. "But I can help her."

"Ayame," Hatori calls out repressively, looking at him in a not too friendly manner.

"Oh!" Aya huffs.

"I will help sissy," Kisa calls as she and Tohru leave and head up the stairs.

As he looks at the males left in the room, Aya pulls himself together and starts forward. "Let's have this set up when our princess comes back down." He retrieves the equipment from the door way and goes to the outside wall and starts plugging in his machines. Haru drifts over to help. As Yuki wanders over to Hatori who has made himself comfortable on a cushion opposite of where the excitement seems to be going to take place. Shigure leaves the room on some unknown errand, while Hiro and Kyo are still by the door with the forgotten male wardrobe.

"Why is he doing this?" Yuki asks the dragon.

"He thinks he is bringing joy and togetherness to this family," Hatori drawls. " Is that such a bad goal, Yuki?"

"Why does he have to do this?" the intense young man hisses. "He brings chaos wherever he goes!"

Hatori looks at Yuki and then turns to watch the installation. "Is it that bad?" then back to the youth. After a few minutes of waiting he continues, "There is never enough joy to be had in this family. I for one intend to watch and enjoy this to the fullest."
