A/N: Hmm…I'm bored right now so I thought I might as well write another chapter. I know that the swim suit idea was kinda lame…and that it was already in the book, but I had to make them meet while shopping and I didn't want it to be the kinda the same as in the book so I made it practically completely the same! That made no sense but that's okay. And Shiraka's age difference to her younger brother is the same as Ayame's age difference to Yuki! Mwahahaha! Poor Yuki. But that's not why I did that. Different reasons you would not understand. Kekekeke. This time it's the next day at Shigure's house. Enjoy! And review!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ding Dong!

"She's here! She's here!" Tohru exclaimed happily. Yuki, Kyo, and Shigure just looked up and then went back to what they were doing. Tohru had spent the whole of yesterday cleaning up the house and making everything perfect. It was just fifteen minutes after breakfast now and Shiraka had already arrived.

Shigure sighed. Tohru's friends had inspected them quite a lot by now. But he didn't mind having another high school girl coming into his house. Shigure smiled.

"What are you smiling about you pervert!" Kyo asked him suspiciously.

"Oh…nothing," Shigure said and smiled again. Yes, he would greatly appreciate Tohru's friend.

Meanwhile…Tohru had opened the door to find a flushed Shiraka at the doorstep.

"Shira-chan! How did you get here? Where is your car?"

"Oh, I didn't come by car! I wasn't fully awake this morning so I decided to walk here to wake up a little!"

Tohru stared at her friend. "You walked all the way here!"

"Yup! But I'm tired now so can I come in and sit down?" Shiraka asked while taking off her shoes.

"Oh! Of course! Come right in! Everyone is in the kitchen,"

When they entered, Shigure looked up expectantly.

"Oh my! You're quite a beauty aren't you?" He said coming up to Shiraka.

"Um…you are?"

"Oh yes! This is Shigure Sohma! Shigure-san this is my friend Shiraka Ikiru!" Tohru said, doing introductions again. (A/N: Does anyone else feel like there are too many introductions?)

"It's nice to meet you," Shigure said, shaking Shiraka's hand.

"Nice to meet you too, Shigure-san!" Shiraka said smiling. "Now may I have a tour of your house?"

"Ummm…sure," Shigure said. Shiraka sure got straight to the point.

"All righty then! Tohru, can you please lead the way?" Shiraka asked.

"Of course!" Tohru exclaimed and then started to show Shiraka around the house.

"This is the kitchen, and this is the dining area. This is the living room, the bathroom, Shigure-san's bedroom, Yuki-kun's bedroom, Kyo-kun's bedroom, my bedroom, and the roof!" Tohru finished.

"Okay…but um…I don't think it was really necessary to show me the roof, Tohru-chan,"

"Oh! I'm so sorry!" Tohru exclaimed. "It's only that Kyo-kun comes here so often and I come up here sometimes too, so I thought it should be shown to you."

"You and Kyo-kun come up here? Why?"

"Because Kyo-kun is…oh! I mean Kyo-kun seems to like high places, and I come up to see him sometimes. Hehe," Tohru said, laughing nervously. She had almost said that Kyo-kun was a cat!

"I like high place too!" Shiraka exclaimed happily. "Well, I guess your living conditions are satisfactory, but I don't like the fact that they make you do all the housework."

"Oh! I like doing the housework!" Tohru exclaimed.

"You do? Okay then…do the Sohma's treat you kindly? Have they been respectful?"

"Oh yes! They are very kind to me! And very respectful too!"

"Mmm…Okay. But I still don't know exactly what kind of people they are so I'll spend the night here! And I want to find out what they're whole family is like so I'll drop by their estate and talk to everyone personally!" Shiraka said while heading back to the kitchen. Tohru looked a little more than surprised.

"You're going to stay the night? Wonderful, but shouldn't you ask Shigure-san first? And you're going to meet all the members of the Sohma family? All of them! Are you sure about that?" Tohru asked.They had reached the kitchen by now and the three Sohmas were listening and becoming more worried by every word that was said.

"Of course I'm sure! You can tell a lot about a person from their family. And as for asking, Shigure-san, may I spend the night at this house?" Shiraka asked.

"Um…well…I'm not sure that would be such a good idea…" Shigure said. He wouldn't mind this high school girl sleeping in his house, but if she somehow found out about their secret, it would cause trouble.

"Why not? Are you hiding something? Do you not want me to stay here because you're worried I'll find out about something? Something…secret?" Shiraka asked coming closer and glaring at Shigure suspiciously. Everyone sweat dropped.

"No! Of course not! No secrets here! Ehehe…uh…you see it's…um…" Shigure looked at the others for help but found that they had no ideas. He sighed. "I guess…you can stay."

"Good! All right! I'll have to pack some stuff…hmmm…" She pulled out her cell phone and dialed.

"Hello? Ana-san? Yes it's Shira! I'm spending the night at Tohru-chan's house! What? No! You don't have to do any background checks, I've got it covered. I called because I need you to pack two outfits, my pajamas, my new school uniform, and everything necessary for sleeping over. Please deliver it to Tohru-chan's house. Please and thank you!" She put her cell phone away and smiled at everybody. "That's taken care of!"

"Okay…" Yuki said. "So, umm…Shira-chan, you said yesterday that you were transferring to our school. How did that go?"

"Fine! I'll be starting tomorrow! My current house is quite far from the school though, so I'm buying another one and I'll take one close to here!" Shiraka exclaimed happily.

"You can't just go around buying houses!" Kyo shouted.

"Why not?" Shiraka asked surprised.

"Because!" Kyo shouted again. "Because…just because!"

"Ookaayyy…that's a wonderful reason." Shiraka said, rolling her eyes.

Everyone sweat dropped.

"Hellooo everybody! I've come to grace you all with my presence!" rang a familiar voice to all but Shiraka.

Ayame appeared through the door. "Ah! Yuki! Hello my dear brother! Greetings Gure-san! Pleased to see you again Tohru! Hello there Kyonkichi-kun!"

"I told you to stop calling me that!" Kyo shouted.

"Oh my! Now who is this?' Ayame asked looking at Shiraka.

"I should ask the same thing" Shiraka said. "My name is Shiraka Ikiru. Who are you?"

"I am the ever beautiful Ayame Sohma! My, it is a pleasant surprise to find someone worth saying is as beautiful as my humble self!"

"Um…thank you?"

"You're very welcome! I have learned that people like it when I bestow compliments upon them! And so! Tohru-chan I compliment you by allowing you to serve me some tea!"

"Um…right away Ayame-san!" Tohru said, going into the kitchen.

"I told you to stop working Honda-san like that!" Yuki shouted, losing his cool.

"But I was only complimenting her!" Ayame said smiling.

"Well stop! And Honda-san you don't have to get any tea for him!"

"But I'm terribly thirsty!"

"Um…it's alright Yuki-kun…"

"No it's not! Argh! You're wearing me out!" Yuki shouted and sat down on a chair.

"Yuki-kun!"

"I'll make the tea." Shiraka said coolly.

Everyone one stared at her and she smiled. "The pot is in the cabinet next to the sink, right Tohru-chan?"

"Um…right. Are you sure you want to? Let me help," Tohru followed Shiraka into the kitchen.

Everyone else settled down again.

"I see, so Shira-chan wanted to take the compliment I gave to Tohru!" Ayame said.

"Stop making everything about you!" shouted by Yuki and Kyo at the same time.

"Don't copy me!"

"Argh!"

They kept saying the same things at the same time.

"I can't believe I'm thinking the same way as a lowly and simple cat," Yuki muttered disgusted.

"What was that! Today I'll take you down, you damn rat!"

And there was fighting. Hehehe.

"Now, now you two! Don't go wrecking my house! Again!" Shigure said to them. Shiraka and Tohru walked in from the kitchen to find Kyo and Yuki killing each other. Well…at least…Yuki was killing Kyo.

"My, my! You two are certainly violent! Can't have that now! Tohru-chan might get hurt!" Shiraka exclaimed. "Tohru-chan I don't think you should stay here."

"No! It's okay! Really! I've never gotten hurt!"

At that moment Kyo got thrown through the door.

"Okay, but Yuki-kun! I don't think you should kill your own cousin! It'll be bad on your record! Kyo-kun, are you dead?" Shiraka poked Kyo.

"He's fine," Yuki said. "That couldn't kill him. His guard is still terrible. And there is someone at the door." Yuki pointed to a man dressed in a suit inspecting Kyo with a surprised expression on his face.

"Genyu-kun!" Shiraka exclaimed running up to the man and giving him a hug.

"Um…hello Shira-san. I brought your things for the sleepover. Are you sure you don't want us to do a background check on these people? Should your bodyguard stay with you?"

"No, no it's fine! Thank you for bringing my stuff! Say hello to everyone at the house for me!"

Kyo regained consciousness as Genyu drove off.

"Ugh…Damn Yuki!"

"Not that again," Shigure sighed. "Look at what you've done to my poor house already!"

"Not now stupid cat," Yuki said. Shiraka looked at him strangely.

"What? What does that mean?" She looked at everyone questioningly and everyone panicked. Well, except for Ayame, who never panicked at anything. And Yuki.

"Well…that is…you see…Kyo is stupid! Like a cat! So we call him a stupid cat!" Shigure said triumphantly.

"SHI…GU…RE!" Kyo spurted out angrily. He then counted to ten in his mind. It was for a better cause, it was for a better cause…

"Good explanation Gure-san! Very reasonable! Now where is my tea?" Ayame said.

"Right here," Shiraka said putting the tea down in front of Ayame. Then she tripped and fell on Ayame.

Poof!

"Uh-oh!"

Yuki ran, grabbed Ayame and all his clothes, threw them all in the bathroom, and stood outside to make sure Shiraka didn't go in before Ayame transformed back, all while Shiraka was recovering from falling.

"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry Ayame-san…wait. Where did Ayame-san go?" Shiraka asked as she got up.

"He, um… ran to the bathroom right as you fell!" Tohru exclaimed.

"Oh, good. I would have fallen right on top of him! Can you imagine how awkward that would have been?"

There was a poof! heard in the bathroom. A little while later Ayame came out.

"Does she know?" Ayame asked Yuki in a whisper as they headed back to where everyone else was.

"No," Yuki replied. "Luckily, I was able to hide you in the bathroom before she saw anything and got suspicious.

"Wonderful!" Ayame said smiling as they entered the room again. Yuki sighed. Expect him to be the one to blow it! Ugh…he annoys me so much…he thought as he watched Ayame laughing with Shigure. It was going to be a long night…

A rumble was heard and then it started raining outside.

"Oh no! Now I won't be able to get back!" Ayame said worriedly.

"No worries Aaya! You can stay with me for as long as it takes!" Shigure said to him.

"Oh, how can I express my gratitude?" Ayame said, his eyes starting to sparkle.

"Stop it you two!" Yuki shouted. Kyo started to get drowsy.

"Oh no! The rain is going to come through the hole that used to be the door!" Tohru exclaimed.

"That's right! Fix the door right away Kyo!" Shigure demanded and threw Kyo a hammer and some nails.

"Why you! Little…ugh," Kyo said losing energy. He went and fixed the door at incredible speed.

"I hope this rain doesn't last long. I don't want Ayame staying here any longer than he has too," Yuki muttered.

Later at night

"Wow, it's still pouring outside! I guess I'll have to stay the night!" Ayame said.

Yuki and Kyo groaned. Then Kyo went to his bed to go to sleep. He was very tired.

"That's wonderful! You can sleep in my room! How about it Aaya? Just like old times, eh?" Shigure said.

"Oh Gure-san, if I sleep with you, I won't get a wink of sleep! And you know how important my beauty sleep is," Ayame said.

Shiraka and Tohru looked at each other. Yuki just sighed. "You're not sleeping in my room," he said and then went to his bed and locked the door.

"No worries!" Ayame exclaimed cheerfully. "I'll sleep in Kyonkichi's room!" And he went off to do just that.

"Well good night girls!" Shigure said, also going into his bedroom.

"Well," Tohru said. "That leaves just us."

"Goodnight Tohru-chan!" Shiraka said smiling and rushed off to Tohru's bedroom.

Tohru just stared for a second before following.

"Hey! Shira-chan!"

And so they all eventually fell asleep. Duh.
