I hopped to the next tree, Kyo close behind. Suddenly I heard a crack and the branch beneath me snapped. "Uh, oh." I said plummeting toward the earth.

"AYAKA!"

I grabbed a branch, the force of gravity threatening to pull my arm out of it's socket. I groaned, glancing down at the ground. I was about fifteen feet up in the air. Ah what the hell. I let go and did one flip in the air just to show off. I landed steadily on my feet with a big grin on my face. "Thank you, thank you." I said bowing.

Kyo landed beside me. He gripped my shoulders firmly. "WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?"

"What's the matter? You worried about me?" I giggled.

"Give me my damn shirt back," he muttered snatching his shirt out of my hand. "You're so annoying!"

"Well you're stupid!" I retorted.

"Well you're a thief!" he said shaking his shirt in his hand.

"Well you're to slow!"

"You're annoying!"

"You said that already!"

"Let's go back." he muttered grabbing my hand.

"Okay, but Ayame might be lost out there." I sighed.

"He can find his way back," he smiled.

"Oh good, you're back." Shigure said looking up from his newspaper. "I've got something to show you."

Kyo and I looked at each other and shrugged. Shigure stood up, then lead us to a room I had never seen before. He opened the door to reveal a simple bedroom complete with a bed, dressers, and a vanity mirror. I walked in slowly, looking around.

"I hope you don't mind but I got this room together for you, I don't know if my back could take another night on the couch." Shigure chuckled.

"I... I get my own room?" I said turning to him shocked.

"It's all yours." Shigure said smiling.

"It's been three years since I've had a room." I said quietly. I stepped towards him, throwing my arms around his neck. "Thank you!"

Shigure chuckled hugging me back. "You're welcome," he sighed. "I must say, it is quite nice receiving a hug from someone outside the family without turning into a dog." he glanced at Kyo. "Wouldn't you agree Kyo? You two were gone for quite some time." he said wiggling his eyebrows.

"Only because we were running from that stupid snake you bastard!" Kyo snapped.

"I get why Ayaka was running. Ayame wants nothing more than to dress her up which I imagine can get quite tiring, but why were you?" Shigure pressed.

"Because he's annoying and I'm tired of listening to both Ayaka and Ayame screaming all the time." he said his face red.

Groaning, I let go of Shigure. "Okay you two, if your gonna fight do it somewhere else."

Shigure shrugged, smiling slightly. He walked over to one of the dressers and slid out a drawer full of colorful fabrics. "Ayame's providing you with some clothes, be sure to thank him."

"Haha, yeah, that might be difficult." I said awkwardly.

"Why?" he asked confused.

"Well," I started slowly. "When we were running from Ayame, he turned into a snake. And then..."

Kyo made a lasso motion with his hands. I chuckled walking over to the closet. Shigure groaned doing a face palm. "Ayame is not going to be happy,"

I shrugged opening the closet. "Damn straight!" Ayame said loudly as he flung himself out of the closet. I stepped back surprised as he wrapped his arms around me. "Ayaka you're so mean to me! Look at all I've done for you!"

"How did you get back before us?" Kyo demanded.

"Well maybe if you two hadn't wasted so much time running around half naked, maybe you would have beat me." Ayame smirked. I quickly untangled myself from Ayame.

"That's a lie!" Kyo yelled.

"Yeah! Only Kyo was half naked!" I pouted.

"Only because you stole my shirt!"

"You're so uptight!"

"At least I act my age!"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were eighty."

"You little-"

"It's on."

"Bring it!"

Kyo and I flung ourselves at each other but we stopped by Shigure and Ayame.

"Lemme go!" Kyo snarled struggling in Shigure's grasp.

I squirmed desperate to escape Ayame's snake like grip so I could rip Kyo's head off. "Ayame, if you don't let me go, I won't try on anymore clothes."

"Sorry Ayaka, but we can't have you beating up Kyo." Ayame sighed.

"Her beat meup? Ha! As if." Kyo said irritated.

"You wanna go pretty boy?" I said throwing forward.

"Bring it!"

We lurched forward again, dragging Shigure and Ayame with us. We grabbed ahold of each others hair when Toru came in. "What are you doing? Oh my gosh please don't fight! Are you hungry again?" she rambled.

Kyo and I let go of one another slowly. "Tohru, are you alright? I thought you were sick." I said.

"Oh no, I'm feeling much better today." she assured me.

Ayame and Shigure let go of us cautiously. I walked over to her, then put my hands on my hips. "Let's go do something," I said grabbing her hand. "You too, Kyo." I said over my shoulder.

I dragged them out of the bedroom, zipping through the house. I saw Yuki in the hallway all alone. "Come on Yuki, let's go have some fun!"

"What? We're bringing him too?" Kyo whined.

"Yes we are now shut up," I snapped.

"Um, actually I think I'm busy-" Yuki started.

"Shut up you're going," I said letting go of tour and grabbing onto him. "Dammit, I need more hands. Come on Tohru!" I said leading them out of the house.

I led them down the long country road towards the city. There wasn't a cloud in the sky. Surprisingly everyone seemed to be in a good mood. I let go of Yuki and Kyo smiling.

"So where are we going?" Kyo muttered.

"It's a surprise!" I said grinning.

"You have no idea where we're going, do you?"

"Not a clue!"

"Then how the hell is it a surprise?" Kyo snapped.

"It's a surprise for me too!"

"You're such a dork." he said ruffling my hair.

I chuckled, looping arms with Yuki and Kyo happily. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Tohru looking at us sadly. What was I thinking? These were her friends first. I just showed up and already I'm butting my way into her place. Sighing I unlinked arms with Kyo. "Come on Toru." I said gently.

She smiled and linked arms with me and Kyo. We walked happily into town looking around for something to do.

"How about karaoke?" Tohru suggested.

"Sorry Tohru, but something tells me Orangey can't carry a tune." I taunted.

"I can too!" he protested.

I giggled which only resulted in making him angrier. Yuki sighed. "How bout that arcade over there?" he asked pointing at an arcade.

"Perfect!" I said walking over to it.

We entered looking around, overwhelmed by the sheer size of the place. Yuki went over to get some tokens while the others and I went over to some shooting game. Yuki came back with the tokens and I picked up a gun. Kyo snickered rolling his eyes. "You're gonna play?" he said obnoxiously.

"What's the matter? You think women can't shoot?" I said irritated.

"I KNOW women can't shoot."

"Yuki, put a token in." I said glaring at Kyo.

Yuki put one in and Kyo picked up a gun as well. The screen lit up, apparently we were to shoot zombies. Yuck.

"Loser buys ice cream." I said holding my gun up to the screen.

"You're on." he chuckled.

3. 2. 1. Kill da zombies! Okay, I'll admit, I can get a little trigger happy so once the game started, I wasn't really giving Kyo a chance to hit anything. A smile formed on my lips as I got another headshot. Damn I was on fire! suddenly Kyo got netter and I cursed smirking. "Finally, a little competition."

"You got that right, I ain't loosing to no girl."

"Oh, it's on."

A little short, I know, but a lot happens in the next chapter. Expect drama!
