"Okay the cigarettes are mine." Kyo said and everyone was shocked to the very core. "Why do you have cigarettes?" Rin asked. "Because some kids at school said that I should." Kyo lied but they didn't know that they we're just in disbelief. "Kyo you know better than that." Tohru said shaking her head. "I know." Kyo said, "Let's go back we've been walking for a while now." They agreed and headed back home. Kyo walked straight upstairs to find Hiro, "We're you going smoky bones?" Heru asked. "I'm just going to my room." Kyo said turning to walk again, "No don't go in there!" Yuki yelled remembering the birth certificate in the room. "What the hell is your problem?" Kyo asked. "Um… Just don't go in there." "Why?" "Um…. Um…" "Okay I'm going upstairs." Kyo said leaving and went upstairs. "What's wrong with you?" Machi asked Yuki, "I don't think I can tell you." "Yuki we have no secrets after what we've been through." She said smiling and he smiled back and grabbed her hand and pulled her outside to the front porch. Everyone else had gone off doing their own thing, Tohru in the kitchen with Rin, Kagura and Uo. Manabe is talking with Saki with Momiji, the rest of the people were talking together and Kyo was upstairs which scared the hell out of Yuki.
"So what's up with you and Kyo?" Machi asked, "Okay, I put a birth certificate on the desk in the room we're sharing." "What birth certificate and why does it even mater?" "The birth certificate said that Shigure was Kyo's father." "What!" Machi yelled. "What!" Someone else called out and Machi and Yuki turned their heads to see Heru, Momoiji, and Manabe standing there with their mouths open in shock. "Shigure is Kyo's father!" Heru yelled out. "Shut up!" Yuki and Machi yelled. "What's with the yelling?" Tohru said pocking her head round the door. "Oh nothing we just saw a big spider." "Oh my God keep it away from me, I hate spiders." "Then you might have to stay off the porch." Yuki said. "Oh okay, for a moment there I thought you guys were yelling about Kyo and Shigure." Tohru said leaving back to the kitchen and Machi followed her. "Okay we say nothing but we have to get that birth certificate out of that room." Yuki said to the boys and they agreed and went back in the room for dinner.

Shigure was at the main house and headed towards Akito's room. He knocked on the door and waited for and answer, once granted he walked in. "Anyone home?" Shigure asked. "No," Akito said bluntly. "Then who am I talking to?" He asked, "No, I mean everyone has left me for the summer." "So why didn't you come? We're having a lot of fun out there, surprisingly no drama, yet." Akito huffed and stood up and walked towards him, "Why'd you come?" "Because I knew you were lonely." "Then why didn't you come sooner?" Akito yelled getting angry now. "Why are you getting angry?" "Because I'm always angry, Shigure, I'm alone and bored with a secret which I hate." "What secret?" "You already know I'm a girl, and I want to be one too. I see Tohru and Kagura together and their so cute and sweet and boys like them. I watched girls when I was growing up and all I wanted to do was to be like that and have friends and be normal even though I had a totally un-normal back ground." Shigure was shocked for a moment, "Why didn't you say this when you were younger?" "Because I had an obligation to the family, well my mother and if I was born a boy everything would have been so much easier." "If you were a boy I would gay for being in love with you." Shigure leaned in to her and kissed her and when he parted she was a little shocked. "What? I've kissed you before." "I know but why do you have to be so forward about it." "Okay." He said and kissed her again and Akito made sure he didn't leave for the night.

"Hey Shigure called saying he'll be late back home or something." Heru sitting down on the table, Tohru had already put the food on the table. "Oh my God I'm sorry!" Kyo yelled from upstairs and came running down. "What's wrong with you?" Tohru asked laughing. "I went in Hiro and Manabes room and Kisa and Hiro were kissing." Everyone laughed, "What's wrong with you they were just kissing." Uo said. "Okay this isn't just anyone, this is Hiro and Kisa. It's just wrong for them to do anything." Everyone was thinking about it for a moment and agreed in disgust, "Your right, for them, it's wrong." They laughed and ate dinner with Hiro and Kisa, who came down a while later.

Shigure was looking at a sleeping Akito and smiled. Akito hugged him around the waist in her sleep and Shigure hugged her back. He was happy, he hasn't been happy since he met Kyo's mother and this time he wasn't going to let it slip through his fingers. He wondered what Akito would be like if she was more like a woman, or if the whole family knew she was a girl. What indeed?
