Safely back in town, Haru peddled away, he still needed to find the gift he was going to get her! He peddled by a woman who was selling fresh milk; the cow she was using looked to him in question.
"Moo!" He.. er.. mooed.
"Mroooooooooo!" The cow responded, walking away from his owner to follow Haru.
"Hey! Get back here! STOP!" The woman screeched.
Haru pulled the brakes and looked back with confusion, the cow stopped behind him and swished her tail as the woman came running up to them angrily.
"How dare you! You can't just go around stealing other peoples' cows!" She chastised him.
"But.. I did not steal your cow, miss" Haru replied meekly.
"Why was it following you away huh?! You were calling it!" She yelled, pulling her cow away from him. Haru was confused beyond everything.
Turning his head back to his destination, he noticed a store to his left. "Moo Moo Town!" Read the sign.
"Maybe I'll find it in there?" Haru mumbled, getting off his bike.
"Yey!! Thank you Hatori!! ^-^" Momiji bounced along, happily clutching his golden-rabbit decorated package to himself, "Toohru will love it!"
"Momiji, you aren't trying to steal Tohru from Yuki and Kyou are you?" Hatori questioned with a raised eyebrow.
"Nope, why would you say that??" Momiji asked with an innocent smile.
"Chocolate covered riceballs?" Hatori replied dryly.
"No! those are for me! I got Tohru something else!" Momiji grinned.
"Great, can't wait to see it.." Hatori stated, looking up towards the sky, He also needed to find her something, a stethoscope wasn't a bad idea… then she could play nurse to them all as well. A small smile crossed his lips as he imagined the ridiculous outfit Ayame would make for her and the blushing faces of Yuki and Kyou.
"Hatori, what's making you so happy? Did you figure out what you were getting for Tohru?" Momiji asked.
Hatori coughed and shook his head.
That night, after Momiji was asleep, Hatori was rustling around his room and office.
"mm… where is it??" He mumbled, opening a box.
Inside the box was a bunch of old things that Kana used to own.
"It's gotta be in here…" Hatori began rummaging through the precious keepsakes gently.
He found a small velvet box and flipped it open idly. 'The engagement ring I bought for her…' Shaking his head with a hint of a smile, he placed it aside and continued to look.
"So, what have you to report to me?" A dark voice asked full of malice.
"Only that the girl, Tohru, is having a birthday party next week." Replied a very obedient voice.
"I see… and now that I'm off that weird medicine that that traitor, Hatori, put me on… she will taste my revenge!" declared the first voice cynically.
"How much easier could they make it for you, Akito, the dumb girl would probably invite you to her party." The second grinned.
"Most likely, all I'd have to do is hug her, then she'd be practically helpless in her new Junnishi form… and when she changed back…" Akito trailed off in an evil laughter.
"Should I call for her, Akito?" the voice asked, a tad unsurely.
"That will not be necessary, Kureno, my arrival will be a surprise…" Akito hissed.
"As you wish, Akito." Kureno replied, bowing before leaving.
Shigure was busy typing his story when a light knock sounded on his door.
"Come in only if you're not Mit-chan!" He called in a sing-song voice full of amusement.
"It's only me.." Kyou muttered, stepping into the small room and closing the door.
"Baka Neko!" Shigure cheered, jumping from his seat with open arms.
Kyou stepped aside, allowing Shigure to crash into the floor face first, "I did not come here to be hugged by you."
Sitting up and whining with tears streaming down his face, the crushed dog replied, "Awww Kyou is so mean~!"
"I came to ask a question about Tohru's birthday." Kyou stated, sitting down in front of him.
"Ahh, is Kyou trying to get a heads up on what Yuki's getting for our lovely Tohru? I bet you wanna get something better!" Shigure teased.
"That's not it!" Kyou yelled, turning a bit red, "I….umm, this is your house.."
"Yes…?" Shigure prompted with a grin.
"And… Tohru likes cats, so.." Kyou continued uncertainly.
"You want to bring another cat into this household?!" Shigure barked, sounding appalled.
"I needed your permission first.." Kyou said sourly.
"What a cute idea! I'm not sure Yuki would like it though, what if the little kitty tries to eat him after he's been transformed?" Shigure pondered.
"The damn rat deserves to be eaten by her cat; maybe he'd know where he stands then!" Kyou shouted triumphantly.
"Okay okay, you can get her a cat, but not a big one okay???" Shigure agreed, stifling a giggle.
Kyou got up to leave with a nod, he turned his head slightly at the door, "Thanks…" With that, he left.
Shigure was grinning from ear to ear, he had lost Tohru but he still did everything he could imagine to please her; young love was so cute!
Kisa was at Kagura's house, they were sharing their gift ideas.
"See? It's almost finished, isn't it cute??" Kagura gushed, holding up her creation.
"Wow! ^-^ It looks just like Yuki, Sissy will like it!" Kisa smiled.
"What have you decided to get Tohru, Kisa?" Kagura asked curiously.
"Well, I have a picture of the two of us, but I'm not sure what I'd like to do with it." Kisa replied meekly.
Kagura took the picture from her and smiled, "Why don't I make you something to put it in for her?"
"That would be great! But, don't you have to finish your present for her first?" Kisa questioned.
"I'm almost done with it, it just needs some pockets to hold things in and finishing touches and that's it." Kagura said dismissively
"Could you create a Tiger?" Kisa asked with a small smile.
"Yup, should I make a spot for the picture?" Kagura agreed.
"Hai!" Kisa cheered enthusiastically.
'The gift doesn't have to be physical… so then, what do I get her?' Hiro mused, going through some random shops in town. Thinking back to their first meeting, Hiro remembered how upset Tohru got when he took her wallet with the picture of her mother in it. 'She really likes that picture… must be the only one she has of her mother.' He thought, forming an idea slowly. He ran into another store to find the desired things. While looking through the picture frames, he spotted a really nice one with silver butterflies on the border. 'Perfect, now I need to get the picture to have it blown up..' Hiro purchased the frame and wandered home so that he could talk to Tohru tomorrow.
In the kitchen, Tohru hummed happily. The rice cooker hummed in the background as she worked expertly, molding and shaping the rice with her delicate hands.
"I really hope they enjoy these! ^-^ I made them their favorite flavors!" Tohru beamed proudly.
Next to her sat a plate with some finished on it already, in peculiar shapes, a dog, mouse, and cat, to name a few. Tohru felt so guilty about everyone doing these things for her that she needed to give them something in return, she thought the idea was cute.
"Let go of me!!!" Yuki wailed as Ayame held him down.
"Baby brother! I just need a few measurements! We want your tux to fit after all!" Ayame smiled, "Mine, a little help please?"
"Ahh.. I'm a bit busy!" Mine called, trying to hold Kyou in place.
"Get away from me! I'm not marrying her!!!" Kyou screamed, stomping slowly towards the door, dragging poor Mine attached to his ankles.
'Almost…..there!' He grunted mentally, hand reaching for the door.
"Baka Neko! Get back here and help me!" Yuki cried.
"He's your brother, I shouldn't get involved in family affairs… it's uhh, part of my code!" Kyou called back.
"Since when do you have a code?!" Yuki yelled desperately.
"I just made it up! Help yourself, rat!" Kyou hissed, grabbing the doorknob.
Suddenly, the door flung open, smacking Kyou clear in the face as a dark-haired man entered.
"OW!" Kyou cried, falling on top of Mine and transforming.
"Oops, gomen-ne, baka neko, didn't see you there!" Shigure laughed, seeing the ticked off sour-puss.
"Gotchya!" Mine grinned victoriously, holding up the Kyou kitty.
"Hurray!" Shigure cheered.
"Aww now we'll have to wait until he changes back to get his measurements…" Ayame frowned disappointedly.
"Mine! Come here!" Yuki barked, anxiousness in his eyes.
"Uhh…. No I think Aya has you…" Mine replied, backing away slowly.
"Get over here and hug me!!!!!!" Yuki growled.
"Hahahaha, silly baby brother, I'm almost done, just chill out!" Ayame laughed, holding Yuki down and somehow getting accurate measurements all at the same time.
"Leave me alone! It's too soon, I can't ask her to marry me now! Its only been a few days!" Yuki complained.
"A few days since confession, yes; but the girl has been living with you for a few years! ^-^" Ayame corrected.
"Don't be shy, Yuki, listen to your older brother!" Shigure added.
"Leave me alone!" Yuki screamed again.
"Hey, get me out of this cage!" Kyou growled.
"Nope, gotta keep you here till you transform!" Mine admonished.
"I'm not marrying the stupid boar!" he replied.
"But, you already proposed!" Mine whined.
"DID NOT!" Kyou screamed.
"Then, why are we going to so much trouble?" She questioned.
"Cause they forced me to!!!" Kyou whined.
"Oh well, we still need to measure." Mine dismissed, walking off to help Ayame.
"Someone help me…" Kyou mewled piteously.

Poor Kyou… Hehehehehe, oh well the wedding preparations and birthday preparations are on there way! Thanks for waiting patiently you guys, I'm trying my hardest to get this rolling smoothly again. Tough transition from typing off of paper to typing as you go; bear with me! ^-^
So sorry it took forever to get this up, I've had it finished for about a week now, but because of problems with my internet at home and the LAN connection between the two computers we have, I was unable to upload. I'm at a friends house uploading it, sorry if it's a bit screwed up, this thing went from an XP machine to a 97 so I had to reformat it. Gomen again, but please enjoy!

Pen2- Ehh, no I'm not trying to confuse you! ^-^ *grin* yes, they are still in high school… but I could so see Kagura plotting with tohru to get the guys to marry them, and Tohru agreeing blindly.

"Oro!!!" XD
C.B.- lol! Yuki will definitely feel a bit awkward after the wedding, huh? I also enjoyed the scene with Ritsu and his mother. I altered it a bit from what I had originally written on my notebook, but I just made it longer.
Shemai_Panthea- lol, cute review, I'm glad you've made an exception to the stuff you normally read, I'll try to keep this interesting.
