It was another typical day at the Sohma's household as the usual fight erupted between Kyo and Yuki.

"Shut up you damn cat…don't bother me. It's still early in the morning," Yuki said.

Kyo laughed loudly and said, "HA! Backing down from a challenge, huh? I thought you were better—"

Kyo never got to finish his sentence since Yuki had kicked him out of the kitchen, breaking the screen door.

"Now look what you've done. You've destroyed the door again" Yuki commented.

Kyo stormed back in the room and shouted, "YOU KICKED ME YOU STUPID RAT!!!"

Shigure poked his head out in the kitchen and said, "What's going on here?"

Tohru smiled sheepishly at Shigure and replied, "Well…Kyo and Yuki were fighting and broke the door. But don't worry, I'll fix it"

Yuki glared at Kyo and said, "See? Now Miss Honda has to clean up the mess you made"

Kyo grew a vein and shot, "Whose brilliant idea was it to kick me through the door in the first place???"

Before another fight could begin, Shigure sat down and said, "Don't worry Tohru, you don't need to do that"

Tohru's eyes bulged and started talking really fast," ButIpromisedthatIwouldworkheretoearnmykeep! Soittwouldn'tbefair—"

Shigure clapped her on the back softly and said, "It's not that. We're moving"

Kyo and Yuki stared at Shigure and shouted, "WHAT???"

Shigure sat down calmly and said, "We're moving"

Yuki finally got the words sucked in hi bran and asked, "Why?"

"Because this house is getting old and probably won't last another year with you and Kyo's fighting"

"But where will you guys stay?" Tohru asked.

"Who said you weren't coming with us?" Shigure said.

Tohru looked confused and asked, "But since you're moving into a new house, you probably wont need me anymore"

Shigure sighed and replied, "Well, one; you're a great cook and none of us know how to cook, second; who would clean the house up if Kyo and Yuki break something again, and lastly; Akito says so"

Yuki stiffened at the name as Kyo asked, "Where will be staying?"

"At Setsuko's"

"Who?" Yuki asked.

"Err…Setsuko Sohma…"

Yuki thought for a moment and said, "Oh yeah…I remember her…"

"Who the hell is Setsuko anyway?" Kyo asked.

Yuki rolled his eyes and said, "Use you brain, you stupid cat…we met her two years ago at the New Year's Ball"

Kyo stuck his fist out at Yuki and replied, "Don't try to be smart you dumb rat. You forgot her too!"

Tohru looked worried and said, "Guys? Please don't fight"

Yuki and Kyo stopped fighting and looked ashamed.

"Sorry Miss Honda" Yuki said.

Kyo rubbed his head and said quietly, "Uh…yeah…sorry…"

Shigure stood and up and raised a finger, "This is another reason why dear Tohru should come with us. Who would stop you two from fighting?"

Yuki turned to Shigure and asked, "When do we leave? Classes are coming up and—"

"Don't worry Yuki, you three won't be changing schools. Our new house is just a few blocks way from the school"

"But Shigure, why do we have to move?" Tohru asked.

"I don't really know. Akito just told me about this a week ago"

"When ARE we going leave?" Kyo asked.

"Tomorrow"

"TOMORROW???" Yuki and Kyo shouted.

"Yes. So you better get packing"

Tohru looked nervous and asked, "Um…Shigure, if Akito told you about this last week, why did you only tell us about this now?"

"I…err…forgot?" Shigure said sheepishly.

The three teens simultaneously sweatdropped.

The next day, everyone was finished packing and they took their last look at the house that they spent half their lives in, well, except for Tohru. Shigure smiled and walked to the black car that was parked in front of the house.

"You're driving?" Yuki asked Shigure.

Kyo looked horrified and exclaimed, "No way in hell am I riding in a car if he's driving!"

Then, the window rolled down and they saw Hatori on the wheel, "No way I'm letting that idiot drive my car"

Kyo, Yuki and Tohru slid into the back seat as Shigure sat in the front with Hatori.

"So Hari how's life at the Main House?" Shigure asked.

"Everything is fine. Akito is holding up well under the circumstances" Hatori replied without taking his eyes of the road.

Back with Kyo, Yuki and Tohru, the three were also having a somewhat normal conversation.

"So Kyo, Yuki, what's Setsuko like?" Tohru asked.

Yuki smiled at her and replied, "Well, we never really got to meet her since the moment that everyone entered the ballroom, Akito had ordered her to go into another room"

Kyo nodded and said, "Yeah…we were wondering about that. When Haru asked Hatori about that he didn't want to answer"

Tohru's eyes cast down and she said quietly, "Poor Setsuko…I mean, not getting to see everyone…especially on New Years"

Yuki smiled at Tohru and said soothingly, "It's okay, Miss Honda, she wont be alone anymore since we'll be there"

Tohru blushed and nodded.

Kyo looked slightly jealous and he snapped, "Get a room you two"

Yuki grew a vein and said, "Shut up, you stupid cat"

Kyo raised his fist up and shot back, "Do you want to fight you damn rat? Huh?"

In the front, Hatori was slowly starting to get annoyed and he said dangerously, "If you guys don't shut up, I'll mutilate you"

Kyo and Yuki feared for the sake of their limbs so they shut up for the rest of the trip. Half an hour later…

"Hari!" Shigure whined, "You're so mean!"

"No" Hatori replied.

"Please?" Shigure said with puppy dog eyes, "I won't crash it!"

"No…and besides, we're here" Hatori said.

"AWWW!!!"

Hatori had to slap him several times to stop him from whining. It was pissing Kyo and Yuki off like hell. I guess that plus Hatori's fury scared him to shut up. Tohru stepped out of the car and looked around. The place was amazing. It was like their old house, located in untouched Sohma Land. The difference was that this new house was way bigger. No scratch that. The house was, well…a HUGE MANSION!

Nevertheless, it was amazing.

There was garden up front and a pool in the back. Hatori smiled at Tohru's expression and led them to the front porch. He rapped the doorknocker and it opened revealing a woman in her early-twenties.

"Hello" she greeted, "You must be the Sohmas"

Tohru grinned and replied, "Yes, I'm Tohru Honda. Are you Setsuko?"

The woman smiled and replied, "Not quite. I'm actually her housekeeper, Lara Sohma. Do come in"

Tohru and the others went in and realized that it looked a lot bigger on the inside than when you look at it from the outside. Lara lead the group into a humungous living area and saw that they were not only the people there. Haru was there too.

"Hey Yuki, Kyo, Tohru" he greeted.

Lara smiled at the bunch and went into the kitchen to get some drinks.

Kyo turned to Shigure and asked, "Why in the world is that cow here?"

"I assume that he'll be staying here too" Shigure replied.

"You ASSUME???" Kyo shouted, "First you forget when we were going to leave, now don't even specifically know who we're going to live with!"

Kyo's outburst was interrupted when they heard an all too familiar voice…

"Well, well, well…has the stupid monster lost his manners for his elders?"

"Akito" Yuki murmured.

Shigure brightened up and he greeted, "Hello Akito…How are you?"

Akito snorted and said, "At least someone here shows respect to his superiors"

No spoke after that. A few minutes of silence passed and Lara came back in holding a tray that carried several glasses of Iced Tea. She looked surprised to see Akito but quickly regained her composure.

"Good Afternoon Master Akito. Please take a seat. Would you like anything to drink?" She asked.

Akito just waved her away and sat down. He motioned for everybody else to do the same and began talking.

"As Shigure might have told you, we are going to destroy your old house to build a new Sohma Estate in its place"

Kyo slumped in his seat and glared at Shigure and everyone else in the room.

"You will be staying here along with Hatsuharu…I presume that there will be no troubles concerning the rooms since there are over 13 bedrooms here for the guests. That will be all"

Akito stood up and left. The rest of the gang was still suffering from emotion withdrawal. Throughout Akito's speech everyone managed to keep his or her faces straight. If you would look at it, it would seem funny. But then again, if would ever be graced with Akito's presence that would certainly suck all the happiness from you.

"Aw man…does the damn cow have to be here too?" Kyo said annoyingly.

Hatsuharu turned his black and white head towards Kyo and stared freakishly cold at him

Yuki sweatdropped and said, "You better shut up before he turns black again"

Haru stood up and said, "Too late"

Kyo stood up too and snapped, "You wanna fight???"

Haru slammed his fist on the table and shot back, "You took the words out of my mouth"

Kyo was about to drop kick Haru but Shigure grabbed his foot and said, "Guys, you better take this outside and talk this out like civilized men…Go on, bash each other's faces out"

As Kyo and Haru beat each other outside, Yuki was talking to Lara. She had come in shortly after Akito left.

"…So Dinner's at 8, Lunch at 12 and Breakfast whenever you want it," Lara was saying.

Yuki smiled and nodded her off.

Tohru turned to Yuki and asked, "Since there's already a cook here, what reason do I have to stay?"

Yuki smiled at her and replied, "Because we want you too…"

And that was reason enough.
