"Get ready to lose you damn rat!" Kyo smirked.

"I believe I've heard this before." Yuki said nonchalantly.

"Yeah," Kyo fumed. "Well this time you're gonna eat dirt like the filthy rat you are."

"Why don't we make this little fight interesting?" Shigure mused. "Winner gets to kiss Tohru."

"Oh no," Tohru blushed. "Why would they want to do that? I mean, it wouldn't be much of a reward."

"Come now," Shigure grinned. "Anyone who wouldn't want to kiss you would have to be a fool. In fact, if these two won't honor you with one, I will." He cupped her chin in his hand.

"Like hell you will." Kyo and Yuki began to beat Shigure senseless.

"My mistake." Shigure winced.

"Now I want a clean fight." Hatori sighed. "And please don't hurt Kyo too bad Yuki. I really don't feel like tending to any broken bones today."

"HEY!" Kyo finally got it. "What the hell is that supposed to mean?"

"Nothing Kyo," Hatori rolled his eyes. "Just try your best."

"Right." Kyo got into sparring stance. "I'm gonna mop the kitchen floor with your face."

"But wouldn't his hair work more effectively?" Shigure scratched his head.

"Be quiet." Yuki warned Shigure. "Make your move you stupid cat."

"Don't call me stupid!" Kyo roared. "Are you scared to go first?"

"Hardly." Yuki snorted.

"Go Kyo! Go Yuki!" Tohru cheered.

"Your rooting for both of them?" Hatori asked Tohru.

"I care about them both so much," Tohru stated simply. "Its just impossible for me to pick sides."

"Even though you're going to have to kiss one of them?" Hatori looked at her quizzically.

"I has hoping everybody would forget about that little detail." Tohru turned bright magenta.

"You're going down ratboy." Kyo swore.

"Time to come back to reality kitty-Kyo." Yuki teased.

Tohru blinked and the fight was over. Yuki and Kyo were both laid out flat on the ground. A foot impression in both of their faces. "Well, you see what happened Tohru..." Shigure tried to explain. "That's alright," Tohru tried to keep a straight face. "I think I know what happened."

"Well that was boring." Shigure pouted. "Now I can't tell who will kiss Tohru."

"I know." Tohru exclaimed. Then she leaned down and gave them both a peck on cheek. "It was a draw after all." both of the boys rolled over so that no one could see they were bright red.

"Kyo and Yuki are blushing!" Shigure taunted.

The two rolled back over again. And if looks could kill, Shigure would have died on the spot. It's a good thing they weren't Hana, or Shigure would have been shocked with a type of electromagnetic lightning bolt.

"I just realized I have a deadline coming up on one of my books." Shigure inched away. "I really should go work on theat manuscript."

"Oh-how rude of me." Tohru snapped back to the real world. "Would you like to stay for dinner? We're having codfish, leak stew, and miso soup. Oh, and pickled plum rice balls." She smiled at Hatori to try and entice him to stay.

"Sure," Hatori agreed to staying for dinner. "I'm also interested in staying to see how the two react to you kissing them."

"Oh." Tohru turned away. "I'm sorry, I don't know why I did that. I guess I've just gotten so comfortable with them, that it seemed alright to kiss them on the cheek. But now I feel so embarrassed."

"There's no need to worry about it." Hatori lit a cigarette. "The hardest decisions have yet to come."
