Shigure was lying in his oversized and very messy bed, trying to ignore the throbbing pain in his skull due to last night's drinking, when he heard a loud banging on the door.

Shigure winced at the sound. "Who is it?" He mumbled.

The door opened and a flustered Tohru stood there. "Excuse me, Shigure-sama, but well, ya see, Kyo punched a hole through the wall again."

"So that means... I have to fix it... doesn't it?"

Tohru nodded her head, ashamed.

Shigure groaned, and heaved himself off of his bed, his head hurting more than ever as he went downstairs to work on fixing his precious wall.

"Ahhh." Shigure sighed as he laid back down on his comforter, shoving a much-needed Tylenol in his mouth while doing so.

He pulled a quilt over his body, and was just about to fall asleep when he heard his telephone ring obnoxiously.

He grabbed the phone desperately to stop the ringing and answered, "Who is it?"

The person on the other end, Hatori, spoke blandly. "Akito-sama wishes for your presence."

Shigure normally would've been happy at the opportunity of seeing his goddess, but he groaned tiredly. "Does that mean... I have to drive?"

"Yes. Come quickly."

Shigure trudged downstairs, out of the house, and into his car. He tried very hard (and was almost unsuccessful) to not fall asleep, and eventually, he arrived at the main house.

When he arrived in Akito's room, the horny goddess threw herself at him, knocking him onto the floor, which made his head hurt even worse.

When Shigure arrived back at his house, he felt as if his head might explode any moment, and he had the feeling he had a really bad case of sex hair.

Shigure laid down on his living room couch, trying with all his might to fall asleep, and then-

-DING DONG!

The doorbell rang, and Shigure could've sworn his ears were ringing.

He opened to door to reveal-

"Aya?"

"Gure-san! You won't believe the news I have for you!"

The silver-haired man strode into the room, much to Shigure's disbelief. Shigure had been drinking with Ayame last night. Shouldn't he have a hangover too?

But, alas, Ayame seemed to be up and well, and in very high spirits. He yelled at the top of his lungs some atrocious things about Hatori then began to gossip about when Ritsu would 'come out'. He was being loud, flamboyant, and annoying, and for once, Shigure wished he'd just shut up.

Shigure's head had gotten worse and worse, and he couldn't take it anymore and yelled, "SHUT UP! FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE CAN YOU CLOSE YOUR $&%#ING MOUTH?! ALL YOU EVER DO IS TALK AND YELL AND SCREAM! I CAN'T STAND YOU! NOW GET OUT! WHY DON'T YOY HAVE A HANGOVER ANYWAY?! HUH?! SHOULDN'T YOUR HEAD BE HURTING JUST AS MUCH?! I DEMAND THAT YOU EXPLAIN YOURSELF, YOU ASS!"

Aya stood there, looking shocked. "But Shigure... we didn't drink any sake last night. We agreed just share some juice, remember? If your head hurts, you must've caught something."

Shigure flopped down to the floor and began to panic. Oh no. If he was sick, then this wasn't just a one-day thing...

"DAMN YOU, CRUEL WORLD!"
