Chapter Twelve: Phone Call

That evening Mii greeted Shigure at the front door. She was on her knees and had tears coming out of her eyes. She stood up and began to shake him.

"Shigure how could you! I need those pages and you left me with just a note!"

"Uh Mii" Shigure winced as his head swung back and forth, "I will get right on that."

Yuki shook his head as he entered the house. Kyo followed with a huff.

"Serves the idiot right" Kyo grumbled as he carried the bags in followed by Tohru with her crate.

She opened it up and gently picked up her bag.

"I guess I will show Kyoko her new room and then I'll get dinner started," she said with a smile.

She walked up the steps followed by the little orange kitten. Yuki sighed and placed a hand to his head.

"I can't believe you got her a cat," he said to Kyo angrily.

"What's the matter rat boy? Scared?" Kyo grinned.

Yuki hit him in the face knocking him over.

"As usual. You're pathetic" Yuki replied as he walked into the sitting room.

Kyoko jumped onto Tohru's bed immediately as she admired the new dressing table.

"It's so pretty" she replied with a smile.

She picked up the kitten and walked over to her mom's picture.

"Hi Mom. I'm back. I'm sorry I didn't take you this time. Look what I got from Kyo" she held up Kyoko, "Isn't she cute?"

That night Yuki, Kyo, and Tohru sat down to dinner.

"Um where's Shigure?" Tohru asked as she placed the food on the table.

"He's in his room, doing his pages" Yuki replied, "His editor locked him in there till he was done. She's standing at the doorway," he pointed.

"I guess that's what he gets" Kyo sighed.

The phone suddenly rang.

"Oh I'll get it" Tohru volunteered standing up.

She walked into the hall and picked up the telephone.

"Hello. Sohma Residence. Oh hello Hatsuharu. Are you looking for Shigure? Or perhaps you want to talk to Yuki or Kyo?"

"Actually" he replied, "I wanted to talk to you. Do you think that you can meet me at my house next Sunday?"

"You want to talk to me?" she replied.

"Yea. So can you?"

"Sure I guess that will be no problem."

"Great! Talk to you then. Say hi to everyone for me" he hung up.

Tohru hung up the phone with a confused look on her face.

"I wonder what that was all about?"
