Escape From The Good Life Turned Bad

Chapter 3

Disclaimer: I do not own anything you recognize.

Last time:

He bit his lip for a moment before looking up and asking resignedly, "Do you think I could borrow a phone?"

"Fine," I say, resigned to the fact that I wouldn't have any peace until this kid left. "I don't have a cell so we need to go back to the house."

He shrugged, "Okay."

—EFTGLTB—EFTGLTB—EFTGLTB—EFTGLB—EFTGLB—EFTGLB—EFTGLB—

I walked in the door and was immediately met by offerings of salutations from Tohru and Shigure. Glowering, I sit down at the table and jester towards the nervous looking figure standing in the doorway. "He needs to use the phone."

Immediately Shigure and Tohru turn to look at the door and give a cry of "Harry!" upon seeing the kid. They then began to make a racket.

I put my head down on the table and cover it with my arms; it is going to be a long day.

—Harry's POV — ‴ =(o.o)= ‴ — Harry's POV—

I was ushered to the phone by Shigure while being asked by Tohru if I would like some breakfast.

I politely declined breakfast and dialed the home phone number. Sirius picked up.

"Hi Padfoot."

"Hey cub, where are you?"

"I'm at Shigure's. I couldn't sleep."

"Great!"

"…Er,"

"So, I need to go back to England for a bit, there's a lot we still need to take care of over there."

I frowned, "I understand Siri. Be careful."

"Don't worry cub, I'll be back before you know it. Hey, I have an idea! Pass the phone to Shigure."

Shrugging, I did.

I blocked out whatever was being said, choosing to stare at my shoes while Shigure and my dogfather talked.

Shigure and Sirius finished their conversation and the phone was handed back to me. "Cub, guess what? Shigure has agreed to let you stay with them this week while I'm gone!"

My stomach dropped.

"I know you have a set of keys so I'll lock the door and I will leave you money on the table so you can go shopping or something. Love you, and I'll see you soon, bye!"

"Ok," I replied, still in shock, "Bye Padfoot, I'll miss you." There was a beep and I hung up the phone.

As I turned around, I felt a dark presence pass by me and enter the room. I turned towards The Presence, dark presences were not usually good things. Warily I stepped closer to The Presence only to sigh in relief at it's true identity. There upon the table, lying face down in a bowl of cereal was The Presence, which is not as intimidating as I had expected. I approached the table cautiously, prodding The Presence revealed a human, none other than Yuki Soma. It seems, he is not an early riser.

"hmph." Someone cleared their throat, standing right over my shoulder.

"AHHHH!" I screamed, flailing and in the process, smacking The Presence on it's head.

"You know…" The throut clearer, Kyo, started to say something. I felt something grab my wrist. My throut caught and I turned, eyes wide, to look at what had grabbed me. "AAAAAAHHHHHH!" It was The Presence. Wait, no, it was Yuki. Nope, it was both of them, Yuki was the presence!

Yuki growled. "Shut up."

Seemingly unbothered by the chaos, noise or Yuki's less than nice mood, Shigure Bounced into the room, standing in front of Yuki, "Can you believe it Yuki! It's so exciting; Harry-san will be staying over here this week!"

His head splashed back into the bowl of cereal.

AN: I'm sorry that it has taken me so long to update. I started going to a normal school after four years of homeschooling (homework = over 4hr a night = life = no free time). My mom passed away earlier this year. I have moved twice. Too add to that I have been In two theatre productions this year. So, as you can see, it has been a busy year for me. In fact, I should be studying for my end-of-year-exams right now.
