I wasn't sure how well this would work.

It wasn't for lack of trying, that was for sure. But I could never seem to get the upper hand.

I walked as calmly as I could through the rain. Why on earth would they want to live here? Sure it was pretty, but it was wet. I would prefer a cloudy cold day personally, but I guess to each his own.

I debated going through the front door. It would be too obvious. I wanted the elemant of surprise.

The side window opened easily. As I slid through I wondered why they had left the window unlocked-but it was Shigure we were talking about. He would forget his head if it wasn't attached.

There were no lights on-only the muted grey light that came from outside.

I walked up the stairs. There were four doors. One was open and obviously the bathroom; another was also open and empty.

I opened the closest door to me-and there was piles of junk that prevented further entrance. That would be Shigure's room. But I didn't want Shigure's room. I wanted Yuki's.

I walked as queitly as I could to the unopened door. Slowly I twisted the knob and opened it as fast as I could.

But he was still ready.

I aimed a kick at his head, he whirled, caught my foot, and launched me across the room. I turned and went for him again-but he was ready.

"What's going on?" I heard a voice say as I was launched, again, by him. I hit the door across the hall and broke through the center.

"Dang it!" I was on my feet in seconds and out the door in a few seconds more.

Th speaker grabbed my arm and turned me to face him.

"What?" I demanded.

Shigure chuckled. "Well, I rather liked that door in one piece."

"He threw me into it!" I yelled at him. "Get that rat to fix it if you liked it so bad!"

"Oh, no," Shigure shock his head. "You came looking for that fight-and your going to fix it."

"Why are you here?" I turned to look at Yuki.

"Me? What are you too good to live with the rest of the Sohma's all of a sudden?" I demanded. "I just want to beat you!"

"Excuse me," Shigure said as he dissapeared into his room.

I exhaled sharply and leaned against the door frame. I glared at Yuki's back as he disapeared into his own room.

Darn rat. It'll serve him right if I beat him.
