It was Saturday. Tsuki woke up early to take a run through Shigure's property. Her parrot was so well trained, that she brought him along with her. He flew alongside her as she ran.

After about ten minutes or so, they both became tired. Tsuki decided that it was time to head back.

She held the bird in her arms as she walked back to the house.

When she got back inside, she noticed Shigure there. He didn't look happy.

"What's wrong Shigure?"

"You have to take it easy with your asthma! What if you have an asthma attack and we aren't there!"

Tsuki reached into her right pants pocket with her left hand and pulled out an inhaler.

"See? I will be fine. I keep it with me all the time. No need to worry!"

"Well, okay." he said. "Make sure your bird doesn't escape when you two are running."

"I don't have to worry, silly. He is a good boy and he listens to me! There is no way he would try to escape!"

"If you say so..."

The girl grinned. "Whistle three times." she commanded.

Shigure did as he was told. The bird flew out of Tsuki's hand and landed in Shigure's. The bird looked at him curiously and meowed before he nuzzled his hand.

"I guess there is nothing to worry about then."

Tsuki whistled once and the bird returned to her hands.

"Cage." she commanded nicely. The bird flew up the stairs and into her room. "Now let me go make breakfast. I'm starving!"

Shigure smiled and headed up the stairs as she went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Upstairs, the bird had gotten into its cage and closed it by himself. Yuki was sitting on the ground by the birdcage, appalled by the bird's intelligence.

"What are you?" he asked curiously. Yuki wasn't sure if the parrot was real or not, but he was going to find out one way or another! In his opinion, animals could not be this smart!

The bird just simply raised his wings in response.

"I see what you are doing! You know that I know you aren't real! That's why you are playing dumb!" Yuki concluded with confidence.

It made a strange noise, then got onto its bowl to eat.

Yuki heard a noise and turned around to see Shigure at the door, laughing at how stupid he was acting.

"I see that the bird is smarter than you!" he said, half joking and half serious.

"Can it dog. I know that this bird isn't real." he said while leaving the room.

Shigure left the room and went downstairs to check on Tsuki's progress.

...

After the three had eaten breakfast, Tsuki made a special breakfast for Tohru to eat.

She walked up the stairs and knocked on the door with her free hand.

"Come in." Tohru said, barely audible.

Tsuki opened the door and went inside.

"Here. I brought you a special breakfast. Theses here are my famous eggs!" she said before placing the plate on the bed.

They were called "famous eggs" because anyone who has tried them has wanted more and more.

Yes, they were that good.

"Thanks." she said as she picked up the plate and took a bite of the eggs.

Her eyes twinkled as she ate.

"Good, huh?"

Tohru nodded.

"This is even better than I can make!" she said sincerely.

"Thank you." she said before bowing and leaving the room.

...

It was Monday. The weekend went by fast! Tsuki spent all of her free time reading Shakespeare and other stories.

Tohru stayed home from school because of some mysterious unknown reason.

That day, Tsuki applied for all of her classes. Shortly after nine, she received her schedule.

She missed her first period, Algebra, but at least she was able to go to drama next.

Tsuki walked into the gym to find Yuki there too. Maybe it was fate that they be in this class together.

As she drew closer, she could tell that Yuki looked mad.

When she got close enough, she could hear him complaining about something.

"I forgot that today was the play! Tohru isn't here to play Juliet!"

Juliet.

That was a character in one of William Shakespeare's plays.

Tsuki knew all of Juliet's lines.

"Uuum Yuki?" she said nervously.

"What?"

"I know all of Juliet's lines. Maybe I could...be her? If you want that is.."

"Alright fine. But we should practice first."

Yuki and Tsuki both got into costume, then stood at their positions on the stage.

Wow! He looks really handsome as Romeo! Tsuki thought to herself.

She looks pretty cute as Juliet I guess. he thought

They went through all of scene one and part of scene two before it was time to start the show..

"...But soft! What light through yonder window breaks? It is the east and Juliet is the sun..."

At the end of the performance, all of the actors bowed and the audience clapped.

The curtain closed.

Tsuki's first play had been nerve wracking, but nonetheless had been a success.

Suddenly something didn't seem right and she had a constricting feeling in her chest.

Her breathing was getting thin. She panicked and reached into her right pocket, her inhaler wasn't there.

"Yuuukii..." she just managed to choke out.

He noticed her attack and his heart began to race. Yuki frantically looked around for her inhaler.

He looked backstage and came back just in time for her to breathe it in without having too much panic.

She breathed in the medicine that came out and her breathing returned to normal.

"That was close!" he said after exhaling.

Yuki seems to be relieved. Does he like me or is he just playing my emotions. But, I'm not even sure if I like him!

The day went by fast!

During lunch it had begun to snow.

Kyo, Yuki, and Tsuki were happily walking home in the snowy weather.

Both Kyo and Yuki left her wondering if they had feelings for her. She wasn't even sure that she cared for them in 'that way'.

When they got home, they all sat don to watch television.

Yuki was flipping through the channels when he saw the weather channel. He decided to check the weather.

The weatherman told of a blizzard making its way towards their area. Power outages were expected.

Tsuki pressed her face up against the glass and looked outside at the winter wonderland. It really looked beautiful, but the snow was coming down fast! Perhaps the blizzard had already started?

As she turned her attention back to the television, the lights began to flicker.

Yuki grabbed a flashlight from off of the television just as the lights went out.

Tsuki loved the dark! At her old home she would often sleep during the day so that she could enjoy the night. Now that she had school, she had gotten back into the routine of sleeping at night.

A few seconds after the power outage, Shigure walked in with bags of groceries.

"Looks like we won't be cooking tonight!"

Tsuki suddenly became very tired.

She yawned.

"Maybe I should take a nap..." she said while yawning.

The boys watched her as she went upstairs.

When she got into her room, she shivered. For some reason, her room was always the coldest in the whole house.

Tsuki knew that her bird was not used to cold weather, so she took her blanket and covered up the birdcage.

Now she was going to be freezing.

She didn't care. Her bird was the most important thing in her life.

The exhausted girl layed down on her bed and instantly fell asleep...

...

A few days passed and school had been cancelled. But no one has found out about the temperature in Tsuki's room.

She had become sick because she had stayed in her room almost all day. Again, no one found out.

Well, not until she started coughing loudly.

Her coughs could be heard through the whole house. That made Kyo, Yuki, and Shigure worried. No one has seen Tohru since Monday.

On Friday night, Shigure decided to send the other two up to Tsuki's room despite the warnings taped to her door.

When the two opened her door, they were surprised to see her lying on her back and shivering. He blanket covered the birdcage, keeping him warm and leaving Tsuki freezing.

"What are you doing! Are you trying to kill yourself!" Yuki said, obviously worried.

"My bird isn't used to the cold so I put my blanket over him. And I didn't want to bother you.." she said, her teeth chattering.

"Who the hell cares about that bird! We care about YOU the most. Your safety is our top priority." Kyo suddenly said.

Tsuki blushed.

He must really like me!

Not thinking, Kyo suddenly laid down on Tsuki's left side.

"Lay on my right arm." he commanded.

She did as he was told. His other arm rested on her left shoulder, turning her a deep red.

He motioned Yuki over.

Yuki sighed and complied.

He layed down on the other side of her. Yuki layed on his left arm and he put his arm over her right shoulder.

Both of them were... hugging her.

But, to her knowledge, the curse prevented them from hugging.

The two boys were wondering the same thing, but fell asleep.

Tsuki was lying there helplessly trapped in the spot she was from the hugs of the boys.

Her eyes became heavy and she gradually fell asleep.

Sometime later, Shigure came upstairs to check on them.

When he entered the room, and noticed the three sleeping, he smiled and left the room.

He came back not long later with a blanket and covered them up...
