"I've never lived anywhere that was this small," Kyo spoke as they stepped into their new apartment. Tohru looked around and smiled.

"I have!" she exclaimed happily. "When I was still living with my mother, our apartment was actually smaller than this." Kyo looked at her in disbelief. He couldn't imagine even living where they were now and here was Tohru, who was actually telling him that the place she used to live in was smaller and more cramped.

"Wasn't you're father living with you too?" Yuki asked curiously, also wondering how a family of three could live in a one roomed apartment and not feel completely overcrowded. Tohru turned to him and nodded her head.

"Yes," she answered. "But I didn't live with my dad for very long. He died when I was really small so I don't really remember what it was like when he lived with us." Yuki immediately regretted bringing up the sad memory of Tohru's father. Tohru didn't really seem to mind however. She continued to smile softly as she gazed at the floor. When she finally looked up, she smiled wider and began to lug her suitcase into one of the rooms.

"We should start getting settled," she announced brightly. Yuki and Kyo just nodded and followed her into the room, while Toshi and Natsumi wandered around the small apartment to explore.

"Where is everyone going to sleep?" Tohru asked her housemates. Kyo just shrugged, completely uninterested. It was Yuki who answered.

"Umm…. You can have your own room, Honda-san," Yuki suggested, trying to be polite. "Or you can share a room with Toshi and Natsumi." Kyo immediately objected.

"No way!" he yelled. "That means I'd have to share a room with the rat! Natsumi and I can share a room and the rest of you can take the other room." Yuki and Tohru's faces immediately reddened. Tohru from embarrassment and Yuki from both anger and embarrassment. Kyo smirked at this.

"What?" he asked tauntingly. "You two are dating aren't you? Sharing a room shouldn't really be an issue. I'm actually surprised you two haven't started." Tohru's face grew a shade darker if possible. Yuki glared at him.

"You think I'm that stupid?" he demanded sharply. "I wouldn't dare. And especially with Shigure in the house and all. He'd never let us live it down. He's so immature." Kyo just shrugged.

"Shigure's not here," he reminded him. "No one's going to bug you two." Yuki glanced at Tohru with and unsure look.

"If Honda-san doesn't mind," Yuki stated simply wanting to hear Tohru's thoughts on the issue. Tohru blinked and rapidly shook her head.

"No of course I don't mind!" she exclaimed. "Just as long as you don't mind!" Yuki smiled gently at her and looked around the small room. It wasn't that small and seemed spacious enough for even Yuki, Tohru, and Toshi to share. He opened up the closet to find two rolled up sleeping mats on the floor. He pulled them out and began to spread them both on the floor.

"At least we don't have to worry about buying beds or anything," he announced smoothing them out. That's when Natsumi and Toshi came running into the room.

"Are we all gonna sleep in here?" Natsumi asked in dismay. "Seems kinda small." Kyo shook his head and scooped her up in his arms.

"We're not sleeping in here," he spoke firmly. "You're sharing the other room with me. C'mon. We're gonna go get settled." With that said, the two fled from the room, leaving Toshi, Tohru, and Yuki alone. Toshi went over to Tohru and sat in her lap. Tohru laughed and ruffled her hair. Yuki smiled to himself as he put their clothes into the closet. Toshi walked up to Yuki and hugged him from behind.

"Papa?" she asked sweetly. "What kind of job are you going to get?" The small girl had a sparkle in her amethyst eyes as she said this. Yuki smiled and sat back and pulled the girl onto his lap. He began running his fingers through her violet hair.

"I'm not really sure," he spoke after a while. "What about you, Honda-san?" Tohru looked up from her suitcase. She blinked before answering.

"Oh… I don't know," she answered. "It doesn't really matter. I want to get a job that will pay nicely so that we can support ourselves. I'll do anything." Yuki looked at his watch. It was almost 8.

"Maybe we should go out to look for jobs soon," Yuki thought aloud. "Some stores and stuff should be opening soon." Tohru nodded in agreement. Yuki scooped Toshi up in his arms as she squealed in surprise. Tohru giggled as the three made their way out of the room. They went into Kyo's room. The door was closed, but they already knew that something was going on from the loud squealing and laughter. Yuki didn't bother knocking and pushed the door open.

Natsumi and Kyo were in a fight. Toshi rolled her eyes and plugged her ears with her fingers as Natsumi and Kyo screamed and laughed loudly. The first thing that Yuki and Tohru noticed was that the room was a mess. Both of their clothes were scattered all over the ground and the sleeping mats were thrown carelessly to the side. Kyo was chasing Natsumi around the room, stepping on pretty much everything as they passed. Clothes went flying as the two ran.

"Come back here you little brat!" Kyo yelled a large grin plastered on his lips as the two played. Natsumi was squealing the entire time as she ran from her father. The young cat picked up a few shirts and threw them behind her, hitting Kyo directly in the face. The poor teen fell back onto the pile of clothes. Tohru, Toshi, and Natsumi burst out laughing as Yuki just looked away with a slight smile on his lips. He wiped it off and walked into the room.

"And how old are we turning this year?" he asked coolly as Kyo stood up wearily. Kyo just glared at him. It was Toshi who gleefully answered between giggles.

"Uncle Kyo's three! Remember, Papa?" Yuki laughed and readjusted the girl on his hip.

"Really?" he spoke in mock surprise. "I was really going for two, but I guess three is close enough." Kyo's face went red.

"W-what are you doing in here, anyway!" he demanded, totally embarrassed. "Haven't you ever heard of knocking?" Yuki just rolled his eyes.

"Well, I wasn't expecting you to be at a new level of stupidity, but I guess it was bound to happen one day," he smirked smartly.

"Why you-!"

"Umm… Kyo," Tohru began. "We're planning on going job hunting and we wanted to see if you wanted to go with us." Kyo just stared at her.

"Of course I'm going," he spoke in annoyance. "What? Did you think that I wasn't getting a job or something?"

"I think that when we apply for jobs, we shouldn't tell them our real names," Yuki spoke suddenly out of the blue. Kyo and Tohru looked at him funny.

"How come?" Tohru asked curiously, furrowing her eyebrows. Yuki shrugged.

"Just in case," he spoke simply. "What if Akito comes looking for us? Akito has his resources. He could easily look up our names or something. It'll be harder for us to be recognized if we have different names." Kyo nodded in agreement.

"Okay, fine," he muttered. "But could we at least keep our first names? It'll get to confusing and if we accidentally call each other by our real names, what are people gonna think of us? They'll get suspicious." Yuki nodded.

"Fine," he spoke. "It'll be easier if we just share the same last name too. Then no one will be able to question us living together."

"Any suggestions on a name?" Tohru asked the two teens, while slipping on her socks. Yuki put a finger to his chin thoughtfully. Kyo scratched the back of his head.

"How about Sato?" the former cat asked. "It's a common name. I only hear it about a million times." Yuki shrugged.

"I guess its okay," he stated, still deep in thought. "But I think it may be a little too common. I hear that name way too much. We'll probably have a ton of kids in our class with the same name. It'll be confusing." Kyo huffed.

"Well do you have any suggestions?" he demanded stubbornly. "At least I'm actually thinking here!" Yuki just rolled his eyes and ignored him.

"How about Neko?" Natsumi suddenly asked cheerfully, earning odd looks from the three teens in the room. Toshi made a face.

"I don't like it," she stated simply, wrinkling her nose in rejection. "It's stupid. Don't tell me that you chose that name just because it means cat." Natsumi glared at her.

"So what if I did?" she demanded stubbornly. "Like Daddy said- At least I'm thinking." Toshi just shook her head. Yuki looked away in disgust.

"It didn't sound like that stupid cat was thinking," he mumbled, only loud enough for Toshi to hear. The small girl giggled in response. Yes, Yuki and Kyo still call each other by the same names. Old habits die hard. Tohru herself was deep in thought on a name as well. She was mostly mumbling.

"How about….no... that wouldn't work…. Oh… maybe…no… hmmmm….or maybe….. (sigh) … no..." Unknown to the girl, Yuki was watching her with a loving smile, while Kyo was watching her in amusement. She looked so cute!

"What about Suzuki?" the former rat spoke casually, making everyone turn to him. "It isn't really that casual but it isn't really unheard of either. I've heard it a few times. I don't think I've heard it too often that we'll have any problems."

"Tohru Suzuki, Kyo Suzuki, and Yuki Suzuki," Tohru stated testing them out. She smiled. "I like it." Yuki smiled back at her.

"Toshi Suzuki," Toshi chirped, a grin spreading onto her face. Yuki bent down and ruffled her hair. Natsumi put a finger to her chin.

"Natsumi Suzuki," she mumbled softly. Then she shrugged. "I guess its okay." Tohru laughed and nodded happily. She turned to look at Kyo.

"What do you think about it, Kyo?" she asked the teen. Kyo just shrugged his shoulders carelessly.

"I don't really care," he replied simply. "It's fine I guess."

"Haha, okay!" she exclaimed. "We should probably get going then! You think we should call a taxi or something?" Yuki shook his head.

"No," he answered. "That's alright. We wanna save as much money as we can. We can walk it. I think I saw a few stores down the street a little bit." With that said, the 5 slipped on their shoes and were out the door.
