"Hug-Day"
Chapter 5

"Tohru––don't look!" cried Momiji, throwing his arms up in front of her face so she wouldn't see the sight before her.

"Eh?" she puzzled when her line of vision was blocked by Momiji's arms. She still had no idea where she was, let alone why Momiji was trying to hide where she was from her sight.

"What the––?" Tohru heard a rough, gruff voice say. She stood up on her tippy toes to see over Momiji's flailing arms:

A guy whizzing in a white porcelain urinal.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

...(outside the boy's bathroom)...

Third year student, Kei, was walking calmly down the hall with no idea of what was taking place in the boys' bathroom. Pure of mind (as all boys were) he was not prepared for what happened next.

Reaching for the handle, the bathroom door swung open and a girl came running out… and fell onto him. He looked up as three other guys walked out of the bathroom right behind her. The short one had blond hair, the other tall one had black and white hair, and the third…. Damnit! The third guy was the one that tried to beat the living daylights out of him a year ago for making fun of his orange hair! He only noticed the three boys for a split second because the next thing he noticed was that the girl's chest was in his face!

Shoot…

"AHH!" she cried, panicky. "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!"

Being pure of mind (and don't you forget that boys are pure in mind), he didn't get upset or try and push her off. No, he lay there quite calmly as she apologized repeatedly and hysterically. He was too stunned to speak. He didn't mind the position at all. No, in fact, it was quite warm and comfortable.

"Just get off him already!" Kyo hissed angrily at her.

"I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY! I'M-"

"I don't think he minds," commented Haru, with a somewhat amused expression on his face and in his voice. "He looks quite content there."

Kyo shot Haru a look before yelling, "I DON'T CARE IF HE LIKES IT OR NOT! IT'S DISTURBING!"

Haru gave Kyo an equally hard look. "So, you're going to blame him for Honda-san being on top of him?"

"I DIDN'T SAY THAT!"

Being somewhat dazed and confused, Kei just stayed perfectly still as the short blond boy bent down to help the girl off him as the two taller boys argued back and forth. He managed to squeeze out a "That's okay" to the girl who was blushing brightly, and still freaking out and apologizing to him for her clumsiness. When he finally rose to his feet, while staring down at the short girl stupidly, the orange head snapped out of his argument with Haru and turned on him.

"AND YOU!" he shouted.

Kei snapped out of his trance to finally look up at the loud orange-haired boy. "Eh?"

"STOP STARING AT HER CHEST!" he ordered, and then added, "PERVERT!"

Kei took off in the other direction to the other side of the school to use the other boys' bathroom. Anything to get away from that orange-haired maniac! He didn't want anymore trouble from that guy!

Kyo, gently, slapped Tohru in the back of the head. "You're hopeless."

Yuki soon joined the four on his way to class. He looked at them with a confused expression. "What are you four still doing out here?" he asked. "Classes have already started, didn't you hear the bell?"

"EH?" exclaimed Tohru in horror.

"Sorry, Yuki-kun," murmured little Momiji, scratching the back of his head innocently, "we didn't hear it."

"We've been a little... preoccupied," said Haru, distractedly looking around the empty hallway, stuffing his hands in his pockets.

Yuki sighed in exasperation. Where were their brains when they needed them? "Well, now that we're late, we're going to have to go back to the office and report that indeed we hare here so that they don't mark us as being absent and then we should hurry back to class. Alright?"

Kyo turned away irritably. "It's not my fault we're late…."

Tohru looked guilty, tapping her index fingers together. "Eh... I'm sorry guys..."

Momiji patted her on the back gently, and said, "It's okay Tohru. You didn't know where you were going."

Yuki sweatdropped. "Do I want to know?"

The bathroom door opened behind them and the boy that Tohru saw in there earlier stepped out. Yuki's face darkened as if his older brother Ayame had just appeared at Shigure's house for a surprise visit. The victim boy turned red and tried to slide away unnoticed by the group. Didn't work though. They all turned to face him and one by one, they apologized for walking in on him.

"It's-It's okay... no harm done..." he stuttered sheepishly.

Tohru stepped shyly up to him (with Kyo growling in the background) and said with a blush, "No, really, I'm very sorry for... interrupting the peace of... the Urinal Sanctuary." Her eyes were on the ground in embarrassment.

"HUH?" the guys muttered in unison.

Tohru continued, "Really, if there's anything I can do to make you feel better—"

"I don't think that's necessary, Honda-san," interrupted Yuki with a sweatdrop. He had figured out what had happened now and was somewhat amused, though embarrassed all the same.

She turned to the Prince conscientiously, "No really, Yuki-kun, I feel really bad..."

Stumbling over his words, the boy said, "W-Well, there is s-something you could d-do..."

" ! " was the shocked responses of the Sohma boys. (A/N: There was a series of ! but QuickEdit deleated them, this was the best I could do)

Tohru blinked unexpectedly. She didn't know what to do. No one has ever asked her to do something so formally. "An... And what would that be?"

He scratched the back of his head, bashfully. "Can I have a hug?"

THUD

The Sohmas hit the floor pretty hard when they fell over backwards.

Beet red, Tohru and the Boy embraced and traded threads of yarn. Now, Tohru had three threads around her next and the Sohmas had none—yet. They all went back to the office to get late slips and then returned to class.

They opened the door to their classroom, and their responses were... well, HORRIFIC.
