After a few hours of being at home, Tasumi and Yuko made their excuses to their fathers and left. They met up at a resturant.

"What do you want to eat?" asked Yuko.

"I don't know, some long life noodles wouldn't be bad," replied Tasumi.

"Some what?"

"Long life noodles. My mother makes them all the time. I love them."

"I can see if they have them."

"Thanks."

After dinner, they went for walk, in the woods.

"Beautiful night, huh?" asked Tasumi.

"Yeah and the full moon is nice, too," replied Yuko.

"Are you still freaked out about that joke?"

"A little. Just don't, ever, do that to me, again."

"Ok. Relax."

"Relax? If I told you I was dating some one, while I was dating you, would you relax?"

"No, I wouldn't. You wouldn't do that to me, though."

"No, I wouldn't. I love you, too, much."

"I love you, too."

"So, what were you and Kaito talking about?"

"We were talking about, why I was in a hurry. How'd you know I was talking to Kaito?"

"I saw his white hair an your orange hair."

"It's getting late, don't you think you should be taking me home?"

"Yeah but, your dad can't see me with you or he'll pull you inside in a heartbeat."

"Then, you'll drop me off in the woods near by."

"Ok," said Yuko.

They walked to Tasumi's home, through the woods. When they were close enough to see Tasumi's house, Yuko turned to Tasumi and kissed her. He put his arms around her waist and she put her arms around his neck. When they separated, Yuki came down from a tree, to tackle Yuko to the ground. Yuko was flat under his father.

"I knew you weren't studing!" yelled Yuki.

"Yuko are you ok?" asked Tasumi.

"Yes," groaned Yuko, trying to get up.

Kyo came out from his house to grab Tasumi's wrist and pull her inside. He sat her down on the couch, folded hid ams, across his chest, and tapped his foot.

"Well?" asked Kyo, sternly.

"Well, what?" replied Tasumi.

"You went out with a guy, without telling me!"

"Especially because that guy is Yuko, right?"

"What are you talking about?"

"If I were going out with a guy that wasn't the rat, you wouldn't spy on me. Your, stupid, fight with Yuki is getting in the way of my relationship with his son. Your fight doesn't even concern me or Yuko!"

"I am just trying to protect you!"

"No you're not! I'm 15! I can and will have my own life! You just don't want Yuki as an in-law!"

"That is not true!"

"Yes it is! I'm going to my room," said Tasumi, stomping to her room.

"Fine!" yelled Kyo.

"What was that about?" asked Tohru, coming in.

"She wants to date Yuko and I don't want her to," said Kyo, flopping on to the couch.

"You just don't want her to date him because he's the rat. Right?"

"No!"

"Yes it is and don't try to lie to me. I've been married to you for 15 and a half years. I know when you're lying."

"May be it is."

"It's half the reason. You don't want her to leave, do you?"

"No I don't. She's my daughter, I have the right to be over protective."

"I know."

"The year of the rat is beginning, in a few days and Yuki is hosting a party. Do you think we should go?"

"May be. Seeing as how you hate him. Tasumi can go, if she wants to. I want to go to be with everybody, again. You can go if you think you and Yuki won't fight."

"I think we should go. I will try to not fight with Yuki."

"I'll tell her tomorrow, when she's calmer."

"Ok," sighed Kyo.
