After school, Yuki decided to head for the Main House. Hm, maybe this disease was affecting him after all. No, he was only going there to get Hatori to check out the problem. As he passed Shishou's dojo, he saw him sitting in a chair drinking some beer. Hm, I didn't know Shishou drinks. Yuki thought as he passed by. He thought he'd go up and say hi, but when he stepped on the dojo territory, Shishou stood up and yelled in a drunken rage,

"Hey, punk! Get off my territory!"

"Oh, excuse me, Shishou…"

"Go on, scram! Don't make me come down there and whoop your ass!" Shishou warned as he took another gulp of beer. Yuki was both frightened and confused, was the disease spreading further and further? He ran to Hatori's house hoping that the disease did not reach him yet. As he arrived on Sohma property, he noticed everything seemed a little quieter. As he knocked on the door he heard Hatori call from inside,

"Door's open!" So, Yuki walked in to find a pigsty. Half-eaten pizza getting attacked by flies, laundry all over the furniture and Hatori lying on the couch in his underwear.

"What happened to this place?" Yuki asked.

"I don't know."

"Where is everybody?"

"I don't know."

"Can you answer anything else than 'I don't know'?!"

"I don't know."

Okay, well it looks like the disease has spread to Hatori. Yuki sighed and sunk himself into one of Hatori's chairs.

"What's wrong, kid?" Hatori asked looking at his younger cousin sympathetically.

"Everyone's sick. They're being the complete opposite of what they usually are. I don't know what's wrong with them, so I don't know how to help them." Yuki spilled his guts out to Hatori.

"Oh, well that's too bad. Wish I could tell ya, but it's just not coming to me. Ever since Shigure gave me that cake yesterday, nothing's been clear to me anymore. It's like I'm losing my mind." Hatori babbled as he relaxed on the couch. Yuki's head perked up.

"The cake? The cake! It must have something to do with that cake! Thank you, Hatori!" Yuki exclaimed as he realized the problem. He rushed out of Hatori's house and searched for someone else, someone who could tell him how to reverse the effect of the cake. Who could know that though?

He figured he'd try going to Hiro's house first. If anyone could resist cake that Tohru made, it was Hiro. He knocked on the front door and Hiro's mom answered.

"Oh, hello Yuki."

"Is Hiro home?"

"No, he and Kisa left to see Akito after they came home from school."

"Oh…um, ok. Thank you." Yuki mumbled and then turned pale-faced again at the thought. Are they in hot water with Akito again? What are they doing over there? Yuki thought as he walked a couple houses down to Kagura's house. He met with her mother and got the same response. She went to Akito's house. He guessed the only way to find people was to actually voluntarily visit Akito.

"Oh, it's such a pleasure to see you, Master Yuki. It seems a lot of the zodiacs have come to visit Akito. It's putting him in an abnormally good mood." The maid greeted him as he came to the door. She led him to the living room where Haru, Kyo, Kagura, Kisa and Hiro were. He saw Kyo and Haru playing a game of chess, Kagura sitting on the opposite side of where Kyo was, Kisa painting her nails, and Hiro sitting in the corner.

"Ha! Checkmate!" Haru exclaimed.

"Indeed. Shall we play again?" Kyo asked.

"No, honestly I'm becoming rather bored of someone who is unable to provide me with a challenge difficult enough." Haru moved to the couch and picked up the newspaper.

Kyo sighed, "Hm, is that so? In that case, Kagura? Would you like…"

"No! For the last time, I'm not gonna play chess! I don't want to do anything with you! Why don't you just crawl under a rock and die?!" Kagura exploded.

"I understand if you don't want to, but there's no need to shout or use harsh language." Kyo said calmly.

"Dang it…I just can't do it…" Hiro mumbled from the corner. Yuki walked over to see what he was talking about.

"Is something wrong, Hiro?" Yuki asked.

"Yes, I…I just can't figure out these math problems. I'm too young to understand algebra." Hiro sulked.

"You're having trouble in math? Please, that's, like, the easiest subject in school!" Kisa smirked.

"At least he's still in school, Kisa. You dropped out because some kids made a comment about your hair!" Kagura shot.

"I dropped out because it was stupid. Why should I give a crap about what people say about my hair?"

"Cause it means you're a freak with stupid hair!"

"It's a lot more stylish than yours! Plus, my hair isn't the color of crap."

"That's it Kisa! You asked for it!"

"Bring it on, bitch!"

The ground shook and furniture rumbled as Yuki watched Kisa and Kagura participate in a nasty fight.

"Now ladies, violence is not the answer." Kyo lectured.

"Shut up!" The two women shouted in unison.

"Um, you two h-had… the cake y-yesterday, d-didn't you?" Yuki stuttered as he saw Kisa bite Kagura's shoulder.

"Yes, they did." Haru sighed as he ignored the fight and continued to read the paper.

"And you, too?"

"Yes, and Hiro did as well. We were all at Kisa's house when Shigure came to bring us the cake. It was quite delicious, actually. It's amazing how such an airhead of lady can actually perfect such a recipe. However, everyone was acting strangely when they woke up this morning."

"So, do you know how to bring them back to normal?"

"As a matter of fact, yes, I do."

"Oh, thank heavens!"

"Hold it there, Yuki. I do know how to reverse the effect, but I never said I was going to tell you."

"WHAT?! You're not going to tell me?! Why not?!"

"I just don't feel like it."

"GAH!" Yuki exclaimed as he crush his head with his hands and knelt down on the floor. Great, what am I supposed to do?

"Master Yuki? Akito will see you now." The maid announced as she walked in. Yuki got up and dragged his feet all the way to Akito's room. Akito wouldn't have cake. Akito would NEVER eat something that Ms. Honda made. He walked in and froze.

"Hey man, how's it going?"

Yuki screamed before fainting.
