Hello This is Iris. This is my first posted fic for this account. Enjoy. I am wlecome to ideas that you might like to show up in the story. I do not support Slash. There may be implied stuff... but they are just friends joking around. I am Iris in the story. My best friend is Catherine. These are not our real names of course.

The italics indicate Hatori's thoughts.

I do not own Fruits Basket.

Ayame, Shigure, and Hatori were sitting in a casual café. Shigure and Ayame were being themselves. Hatori was annoyed.

"Can you two knock it off?" Hatori stroked his forehead, "You're giving me a headache."

"Oh yes of course! We will stop now!" Ayame eagerly spoke up.
Shigure watched with interest, "Why don't you ever listen to me?"

"...Because you aren't as beautiful. I mean look how Hatori's hair is. Doesn't the small amount of hair over his eye just make him more dashing?"

"What did you just say about me?" This is so annoying...why did I agree to come? I have work I should be doing.

"I said-"

"Don't repeat it I heard you..."

"Then why did you ask?"

"...You don't know why you listen to me do you?"

"...No..." Ayame's face fell.

Shigure looked hurt (and missed most of Hatori and Ayame's conversation). "I'm handsome! I mean I bet I could get any girl here to fall madly in love with me within the first conversation we have!"

"Wouldn't that be... problematic?" Hatori (for once) looked amused. "What would Akito say?"

"What he doesn't know won't hurt him!"

"It might hurt you though."

During this dialogue two female friends came into the café, Iris and Catherine.

"-and that's what he said... 'lol' How was I supposed to know what he thought from- Who are they?" Iris looked over at the Madubachi trio.

Catherine followed her gaze. "I don't know them."

Shigure looked excited, "Hey! They are talking about us!"

Iris whispered to Catherine. "Look over at that guy... you know the one with the long hair."

"That's a guy?"

"I'm pretty sure..."

They sat down across the café and continued a previous conversation.

Shigure suddenly donned a mischievous grin. "I have an idea."

"Oh no..." Hatori sighed... This was never good.

Shigure was practically bouncing in his chair. "I'm gonna go over there and introduce myself. You watch and learn from a pro."

Hatori opened his mouth to speak but Shigure had already gotten up. Great...
Ayame remained quiet for once... and watched with interest.

Shigure strutted over to the girls. "Hello ladies," he said with a grin, "I don't believe we have met before. My name is Shigure, what's-"

"Sugary? What type of name is that?" Iris spoke up.
Catherine elbowed her, "Be nice..."

Shigure stopped talking and looked startled. "Sugar?"

"Yeah that's what you said you name was."

"No I didn't..."
"Yes you did."
"No I didn't"
"Yes you did." Iris stood up.
Oh no... I had better intervene...
"Shigure... I think you have a deadline tomorrow don't you?" Hatori asked cautiously.
"...yes..."

Hatori guided him and Ayame out of the cafe.

Two days later

Hatori and Shigure went back the cafe. Iris was already there.

Iris was reading a book, but she looked up when they came in. "Hello Sugar-boy."

"Sugar-boy?" Shigure looked almost disgusted. "hum... I suppose it has a nice ring to it..."

"What?" Hatori groaned.

Shigure lit up. "Now everyone must call me Sugar-boy!"

Iris smirked. "You know... I was just teasing..."

"But I like it!"

Please review. And give me an object or a phrase or a place that should show up in the story. I am willing to do requests.
