"SURPRISE!!!"
Tooru fell back against the door in surprise. She looked quickly at each unique face in front of her. She smiled as she saw Uo and Hana, standing alongside a few of the Somas. She looked them, still in shock.
"A-ano?" She turned to Shigure. "Shigure-san?"
Shigure grinned widely, walking over to Tooru, and put his hand lightly on her shoulder.
"Happy Birthday Tooru-kun!" He leaned over to her ear, causing both Yuki and Kyo to send a death-glare at the inu. He waved them off nonchalantly, smiling, before he ran off to the kitchen.
Ayame smirked knowingly. "Ne, Ritsu-chan, why don't you help everyone to find their seats as I go to help Gure-san?"
Ritsu blushed deeply, bowing. He glanced at Ayame, his words catching in his throat. He nodded instead.
Ayame bounced toward the kitchen after Shigure, as Ritsu timidly walked up to Tooru.
"Sumimasen, Tooru-san, but would you like to sit down?" He looked nervous, so Tooru took gentle pity on the monkey.
"Hai, arigatou Richan-san." She looked at Uo and Hana and smiled at them. Their faces relaxed as they saw her expression. They followed Tooru and sat on either side of her protectively.
Before he could contain his disappointment, Yuki realized that he had let out a sigh. He knew that her friends were just protecting Tooru from the inu and hebi. But now, he wasn't able to sit close to her. Reluctantly, he sat down at the table opposite of her. He was seated by Ritsu, which, he realized, was better than having to sit beside Kyo.
Kyo stayed standing, leaning against one wall, with one of his feet flat against the vertical surface. He watched this whole scene with disgust. Then, when he felt that he wasn't able to stand it anymore, Kyo glimpsed Tooru out of the corner of his eye. He felt his face soften momentarily, before he realized that the nezumi was watching him intently, with no expression on his face. He took a step away from the wall and glared at Yuki.
"What are you staring at kuso nezumi?!" Kyo could feel his blood boiling.
"You are not worth staring at, bakaneko", Yuki calmly replied.
Kyo began to say something more, when he felt thick damp threads wrap around his neck and mouth. Suddenly a low voice hissed at him.
"Kyo, quit acting like an ass!"
Kyo stiffened with slight confusion and growing anger. Uo! When had she stood up? And where did she get that damn mop? His eyes darted left and right, as his body attempted to untangle his face. His eyes fell on the sad look in Tooru's eyes. Kyo took a breath and felt himself calm down. Apparently, Uo was satisfied for the time being, as she whipped the mop away and went to go take her seat again.
She continued to glare at him from where she was sitting.
