SOTGD: Welcome. Now that I remember. Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Fruits Basket characters. Saying that takes the fun out of everything. This disclaimer counts for all the future and past chapters. Don't leave without reveiwing PLZ.

Shigure: Don't worry I'll always be here.

SOTGD: That's one thing that I'm afraid of.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Due to circumstances beyond Migone's control, She was unable to talk to Shigure for a week. The reason was she had became ill. Hatori thought it best to keep people away from her during that time. She had managed to make one other sick. Akito. If there was a cold going around Akito was sure to get it.

Shigure came into Hatori's office at around 10 in the morning. He was eager to meet Migone.

"Hatori. I'm here. Where is she?" Shigure was greeted by Migone.

"I am she. Migone Muragashi. You are Shigure-San I suppose." Migone's voice took on a bored tone.

At that time Yuki, Ayame, and Tohru decided to show themselves. They had stood back waiting for her to appear. Yuki seemed oddly alert.

"I will ask the first questions then. First why did you bring them?" Migone wasn't angery, she liked being around people.

"Well, they wanted to come along, since you are very interesting."

"Who are they?"

"Yuki, Ayame, and Tohru." Shigure pointed to them in the order he had said their names.

"Come inside."

Shigure and the others followed Migone into a room near to Akito's own. The closer Akito's room came the more Yuki seemed uncomfortable.

"Why do you look afraid, Yuki?" Migone asked as she sat near an opened window, in her new room.

"Yuki is slightly afraid of Akito." Shigure blurted out. Yuki gave Shigure the I-would-kill-you-if-we-were-alone look.

"Akito is sick. It was my fault. Nothing to fear." Migone had no reason to question the subject farther, but she did wonder why Yuki feared Akito.

Yuki seemed relieved, and began to relax.

"I have two more questions. One did anyone see me lying in the road, other than you? Two did anyone see you bring me here?"

"Of course, it's not hard to spot someone in the middle of the street. It isn't hard to spot an unconscious girl riding on an ox either though." Shigure wasn't sure why she was asking such stupid questions, but then he became aware it was his turn to inquire.

"It's your turn."

"Why were you lying in th street?"

"I was injured."

"How were you injured?"

"My kimono caught on fire." Migone thought back to the real reason.

"Why?"

"I don't understand the question."

"Why did your kimono catch on fire?"

"I got near some flames."

Then suddenly Ayame broke away from his careful listening. "Would you like to hear a story?"

"No. Your turn is taken."

"What, but I only asked three questions."

"Five. You asked why was I lying in the street, how was I injured, why, why did my kimono catch on fire, then Ayame asked would I like to hear a story. Five."

"But, that shouldn't count." Shigure's whining was interupted by the opening of Migone's door.

Akito stood there, he looked weak and ill. He seemed angery.

"Why didn't you tell me all of you were coming today, Shigure?"

"I told Hatori to tell you."

Akito wasn't pleased by the response, but he was distracted by the fact Yuki was present.

"Yuki, you came. I'm surprised."

Yuki could only watch in horror as Akito crossed the room to meet him. Migone stood, making her the closest to Yuki. She stood directly between Akito and Yuki.

"Akito you should return to your room or you may make yourself even worse."

Anger rose in Akito's pale face, yet he turned and left.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tohru and Migone sat side by side as Hatori talked to Shigure, Yuki, and Ayame inside.

"What do you think they are talking about?" Migone stared at the door.

"I don't know." Tohru didn't seem very interested.

Then after ten minutes of waiting the door opened and Shigure, Yuki, Ayame came out. Hatori stood at the door.

"You should come inside Migone it's getting late." Hatori talked to Migone like she was a small child.

Migone obeyed. She didn't say good-bye. As she past Hatori he handed her a thick romance book. A note on the front read: (Compliments of Shigure.) Migone didn't bother even looking at the book. She disappeared into the house.

Akito stood at his door. He motioned for her.

"Yes."

"Well how was your visit with Shigure?"

"Fine." Migone followed Akito into his room. She sat down.

Akito stared at her. He felt comfortable with a total stranger.

SOTGD: There we have it. A very boring chapter. The next one will be better, with some more slight romance. ^-^

Shigure: I could give you some ideas about romantic chapters.

SOTGD: -_- No thanks.
