Meanwhile, in the Kirijo's private cottage home…

"Thanks again for another wonderful dinner from you, Kikuno." said Miyuki politely and happily to Kikuno after she, Ken and Mitsuki finish their dinner.

"You're welcome and glad to see and know that you like it, Miss Arisato." said Kikuno as she smiled at Miyuki.

"And now that we had our dinner, can you take Mitsuki to the bathroom because it's time for his bathing and because I've something that I want to tell Ken, Kikuno." said Miyuki.

"Sure, miss Arisato. Come, young master Arisato." said Kikuno as she nodded at Miyuki before she hold out her hand toward Mitsuki, waited for him to put his hand in hers before Kikuno bring Mitsuki out of the dining room and went upstairs to the bathroom for his bathing.

"Now that Kikuno take Mitsuki away, I'm going to tell you my answer to your apology and my answer is I accept, Ken." said Miyuki calmly to Ken.

"Really? I'm glad to hear that, Miyuki-san." said Ken as he smiled at Miyuki.

"However, will you be able to do the same for Isamu-chan and Akechi-kun, of course that includes Akemi-chan apologizing to us too, Ken." said Miyuki coolly to Ken now.

"… We'll try, Miyuki-san." said Ken.

"I hope so." said Miyuki before she ended their conversation, stood up from her seat, picked up and bring the dirty dishes and cups into the kitchen sink and began washing them.

Back in Shigure's house…

"This is amazing. I'm impressed that you managed to get such a rotten and messy kitchen so clean and stank free and swiftly too, Honda-san." said Yuki as he look around the pristine kitchen with an impressed look on his face.

"I gave it my all, Soma-kun!" said Tohru happily to Yuki.

"Shigure owns a rice cooker? How long did he have this and is it still functional?" said Yuki as he noticed and pick up the rice cooker from the table.

"I excavated it and don't worry, I check it out and it's still functional!" said Tohru reassuringly to Yuki before she took the rice cooker from him, ushered him into the living room and told him to wait as she cook dinner and after a while, Tohru's done cooking, bring the dinner and utensils out and put them one by one on the table before Yuki used his chopstick to pick up and ate a piece of salmon.

"How is it? Is the flavour strong enough?" asked Tohru unsurely to Yuki.

"It's great. I haven't had a meal like this in so long after…" replied Yuki happily to Tohru before he realised what he's about to say and fell silent.

"After?" asked Tohru again to Yuki.

"… Nothing. Forget I say that, Honda-san." replied Yuki calmly to Tohru.

"… Alright and I'm glad that you like it." said Tohru happily to Yuki.

"Shigure and that stupid cat are sure late. Where did they go, Siberia?" said Yuki as he pick up and ate another piece of salmon.

"You went out for a while too, right?" asked Tohru curiously to Yuki.

"Yeah. I went to my secret base in the backyard." replied Yuki as he nodded at Tohru.

"Secret base!? That has a thrilling ring to it!" squeal Tohru excitedly to Yuki as she imagined in her mind what his secret base look like.

"It's probably not what you're imagining. But I'll invite you there sometime, if you want and Kanzaki-san and Amada-san knows about it too and they'll help me out when they've free time, Honda-san." said Yuki.

"Really? Akemi-chan and Ken-kun knew about it and you'd let me come!? I'm so excited! A secret base!" squeal Tohru more excitedly to Yuki (who smiled at seeing how excited Tohru is) about his secret base before their happy moods got cut off by the return of a furious-looking Kyo and a calm-looking Shigure.

"Shut up!" snapped Kyo angrily at Shigure as he try to get away from Shigure, who stick close to him and resulted in them walking in circle around both Tohru and Yuki.

"I want you to listen for a second, Kyo." said Shigure calmly to Kyo.

"Why should I listen to you plus I'm so pissed at you now! Is it fun for you, manipulating other people like that!?" snapped Kyo.

"Slow down! Sure, I'm thoroughly enjoying it-but it's for your own good!" said Shigure.

"Oh sure, that sounds real convincing from you!" said Kyo sarcastically at Shigure.

"W-Welcome home! Would you two like to eat?" said Tohru hesitantly to both Kyo and Shigure.

"Hell no!" snapped Kyo as he glared at Tohru (who flinch from him snapping at her) before he walked away from them.

"Don't take it out on Tohru-kun! And no shoes in the house." said Shigure sternly to Kyo's retreating form as he took off his own shoes and unbutton his blazer.

"You really aren't convincing, Shigure." said Yuki calmly to Shigure.

"Oh, there's food ready." said Shigure as he noticed the plates of foods on the table.

"Um, why was Kyo-san so upset?" asked Tohru as she glance at Shigure (who's taking off his blazer and sat down).

"Oh, him. It's because I tricked him into taking a school transfer exam." replied Shigure. "And also that I send messages to Miyuki, Ken, Akemi, Isamu and Goro about it and Miyuki, Isamu and Goro were amused while Ken and Akemi share Kyo's thinking." added Shigure slyly in his mind.

"Transfer?" said Tohru as she filled an empty bowl with rice and hand the bowl of rice toward Shigure.

"Yes. Starting tomorrow, Kyo-kun will be commuting from here to the same high school you two go to. Thanks for the food-" said Shigure as he took the bowl of rice from Tohru in preparation to eat his dinner.

"Don't eat! Don't come near us. Get out of our sights." said Yuki as he suddenly stand up and glared coldly at Shigure while an imaginary snowstorm start blowing around him, Tohru and Shigure.

"Yeah, I figured you'd be angry… So the thing is, Kyo passed the exam for a boy's high school near his place, but he never went, and he dropped off the map for over 4 months. Apparently, he's been training in the mountains." explained Shigure.

"Training? Why?" asked Tohru in confusion to Shigure about it.

"Kyo want to beat Yuki-kun in a fight, you see. They've been rivals since they were kids." replied Shigure.

"He's an idiot. Thanks for the dinner, Honda-san." said Yuki as he finish his dinner, thanked Tohru for it before he stood up and left the room.

"You're welcome." said Tohru as she and Shigure watched Yuki leave the room before they ate and finish their own dinner in silence and Shigure thanked Tohru for the dinner before he stood up and left the room too while Tohru covered up Kyo's uneaten dinner with plastic, picked up, bring and put hers, Yuki and Shigure's empty dishes and cups into the sink in the kitchen and began washing them.

"I wonder if Kyo-san wants to beat Soma-kun because he resents being tricked like he was in the old story. But I get the feeling it would be invasive to ask him that. And I think Kyo-san already hates me already… It makes me a little sad. I finally got to meet the zodiac Cat, but…" thought Tohru sadly in her mind about Kyo before she dismiss it and keep on washing the dishes and cups.

Meanwhile, in the Dojima's house…

"Shigure-san tricked Kyo-kun into transferring and going to the same high school that we go to? Oh god, this won't go well for him and for us." thought Akemi in exasperation in her mind at what Shigure did to Kyo.

Meanwhile, inside a room in the Soma estate…

"So, we'll be seeing monster cat Kyo in school tomorrow, huh? Looking forward to it." thought Goro in his mind about Kyo attending the same high school they go to with a dark smile on his face.
