"Hari, I don't feel too good. Can I not go to school today?" Hatori looked
at Ame. She was pale and looked like she used up all her energy coming
downstairs. He nodded as Momiji walked into the room.
"Hey Ame, you don't look well." Hatori glowered at him.
"Thankyou for stating the blatantly obvious. Ame isn't going to school so you will need to get the work she misses. Can you also ring Shigure to come and look after her? I'm going to busy today. I'll check you later," He commented to Ame. "but you'll need someone to keep an eye on you."
"Ok, I'm going back to bed." Hatori stopped her and took her temperature.
"You have a bit of a temperature, take it easy today." Ame smiled tiredly at him.
"I'll probably sleep most of the day, don't worry." With that, she walked back upstairs. Momiji watched her worriedly, and only went to ring Shigure when he heard her door shut.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------
"Ame's sick, so she stayed at home today." Momiji explained. The Sohmas who went to school with Ame looked worried. They had noticed that she wasn't at school, and, knowing Akito as they do, they cornered Momiji to explain. "Why don't you come and visit her on the way home? I'm sure she'll be happy to see you all."
"Even me?" Haru asked. "I mean, she seemed pretty angry before, I don't want to set her off again." Momiji laughed and shook his head.
"I think it's Black Haru she's cranky at. She hasn't known you for as long as we have, so she's probably still getting used to that." They all agreed to visit Ame, and went off to class.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------
Meanwhile, back at the house, Shigure opened Ame's door. "Hello! Are you feeling all right? Is there anything I can get you? A cup of tea? Some breakfast?" Ame sat up and glowered at the man.
"Some peace and quiet? Some sleep? I just have the flu. I'm not dying here. I'll be down later, now go away!" She curled back under her bedclothes, and left Shigure standing there. She poked her head back out. "Why are you still here? Listen, I've had the flu before. I'm fine." With that, Shigure shrugged and walked out. *Finally* she thought as she went back to sleep.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------
As Shigure went downstairs, the phone in the hallway rang. He picked it up. "Hello?" He said cheerfully.
"Sensei!" A waterlogged voice called through the phone. A mischievous look spread over Shigure's face.
"Mit-chan! What's wrong? Is it about my manuscript? I'm sorry, I finished it last night, but it fell in the fire I made to burn all the leaves I'd raked up." A wail came out of the phone so loud that he had to move it away from his ear.
"Sensei! How could you! What are you going to do? I'm coming over to make sure you rewrite it now!" with that, Mit-chan hung up. Shigure shook his head with a smile on his face. *Let's see what fun I can have.* He thought
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------
Ame stumbled downstairs and into the kitchen. *Ugh, I feel horrible. I probably look as bad.* She got herself a drink, and walked into the lounge room to talk to Shigure. "Hello? Shigure?" No one answered. "Hmmm, I wonder where he went?" Shigure ran around the corner with a smile plastered on his face.
"She's here!" He jumped up and down gleefully. He pulled a manuscript out of his kimono, and waved it about looking around the room. "Where can I hide this? She can't find it or my fun'll be ruined." He noticed Ame sitting at the table staring bemusedly at him. "Hi! Glad to see you up. Now, you can't tell anyone where I hid this, ok?" She nodded. "Good! Now my editor will be in very shortly, so I have to go hide this. Bye!"
"Sensei!" Shigure ran off, and as soon as he was gone, a lady sped through the doorway. "Sensei! Hey, who are you?" Ame stood up and bowed slightly.
"Nice to meet you. My name is Ame Sohma, Shi-kun's cousin. Are you his editor?" She asked. She was still in her pyjamas, but there was an air of authority around the teenage girl. Mit-chan bowed back.
"Yes, I'm Mitsuko Tanaya, but Sensei calls me Mit-chan." She looked around cautiously. "Have you seen him around?" Ame smiled and pointed where Shigure ran. Mit-chan ran in that direction, tears running down her face yelling. "Sensei! Come back here!"
*I like her.* Ame thought as she walked back upstairs. She sat on the edge of her balcony, with her legs swinging over the edge. The sun's rays warmed her, and Chiisa was asleep, basking in the warmth. Ame lent over and tickled the cat's tummy, but nothing happened. The cat was fast asleep, nothing would wake her. Ame lay back with her hands behind her head, and before she knew it, she was asleep too.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------
"Hi Hari! Is Ame in her room?" Momiji bounced into the room with Kyou, Tohru, Yuki and Haru following him. Hatori looked up from the letter he was reading.
"I don't know, I just got home. I haven't dared go anywhere with Shigure and his editor running about." He held out a parcel, which Momiji took from him. "Go up and check. If she is there, you can give her this. It came for her in the mail today." Momiji nodded and bounced upstairs, the others following.
"Ame! Are you in here?" Momiji looked around the door cautiously, he'd dealt with a tired Ame before. Seeing that she wasn't going to throw her pillows at him, he walked in confidently. They went over to the pile of covers on the bed, but she wasn't there. Getting a little worried, they looked around in the surrounding rooms but still couldn't find her.
"You don't think she's out do you?" Tohru asked nervously. "Because she shouldn't be if she's sick. That might make her flu worse, and she might get really sick!" They all went downstairs to talk to Hatori about this. All except Kyou, who stayed in Ame's room. He had a feeling that she was close by, and he didn't want to stop looking just yet.

"Ok, I'm going back to bed." Hatori stopped her and took her temperature.
"You have a bit of a temperature, take it easy today." Ame smiled tiredly at him.
"I'll probably sleep most of the day, don't worry." With that, she walked back upstairs. Momiji watched her worriedly, and only went to ring Shigure when he heard her door shut.
