Talone walked to Akito and sat next to him. "Akito, I need to ask you something." Akito put his hand through her hair. She blushed but, kept on talking. "Is..this perfect for Shigure?" Talone took out a box, open it, and pulled out a gem-covered journal. "See? Diamonds, rubies, and aquamarines! Is..it okay?" Akito carefully studied the journal. "It's...quite interesting. Where did you get it?" Talone looked down. "I got the money from...Hatori." Akito grin slowly and kept his eyes on the book. "It's a good start for giving a Sohma a present." Akito turned his head. His eyes met Talone staring deeply at each other's. They got closer to each other and was about to kiss 'til Monique arrived.

"Hey, Talone! Where my honey suckle cream shampoo?" Monique was standing in front of the couple, half naked. Talone's left eye twitched. "M-Monique?! What do you think you're doing?" Talone clenched her teeth. "I hate you...!" Talone whispered under her breath. Monique pouted. "Whatever...." Monique left. Akito stood up and put his hands on Talone's shoulders. "You get ready for the party." Akito left. Talone was alone. "I should practice playing my flute."

Talone went outside with her polished flute in her hand. "I guess it won't hurt to sing a little song first...Will it...?" Talone closed her eyes and open her mouth.

Talone's Song

When I go back home,

the moon-

will glow tomorrow-

I loved-

Oh! So been loved. Can you hold me now-?

I hold you-

In my arms. In my heart.

All for my love.

I know when to go back home,

the moon-

will glow again-.

Talone started playing her flute. Without knowing, Akito and Hatori were watching her play. "It's a beautiful sound." Akito smiled happily. "I like this feeling in me." Hatori hummed with Talone's melody.

Tohru, Kyo, and Yuki were preparing all the food and dusting the house. Shigure, Kagura, Momiji, and Ayame were rearranging furniture and putting on the music. Ayame and Shigure were telling each other jokes. "Then, the lady said she wanted me to be part of an all girl's school!" Ayame laughed and giggled. Shigure smiled and checked on everyone to see how they were doing. "I want this to be my very best birthday! I just wish high school girls were all here! I mean..It's my destiny!" Ayame rolled his eyes.

"If everyone can show up." Shigure glared at Ayame. "Poop-a!" Momiji exclaimed. Shigure and Ayame stared at Momiji. "Riiiight..." Shigure and Ayame replied. "Bakas..." Kyo whispered. Yuki and Tohru were taste tasting out the rice balls. "This one is pretty good." Tohru grinned.

Talone, Akito, Hatori, and Monique were already going on the way to the party. Monique kept a frown on her face. "I don't wanna go to the stupid party!" Talone sighed. "Get over it... " Akito and Hatori were discussing about they should invite Shigure's back to their party. Monique moaned as they got to the house. Talone held the present in her hands. "Let's hope for a good time." spoke Akito.
