after a long day of waorking and fighting, the Sohma house was quiet with the sounds of sleep. Kyo closed his eyes peacfully, glad that Kagura had gone home, and he smiled happily in his sleep. "at last, peace.."

There was the sound of scratching on the door, and Shigure awoke with a start. "who's there?" he yawned, leaning casually over the edge of his bed to glance at the door. No one answered. He listened for a moment, but all he could hear was the hushed sound of sleep coming from Yuki in the room next to his. Shigure looked over at the clock on the wall. "ONE IN THE MORNING?!!" Shigure yelled in surprise. "scratch, scratch" he could hear the noise again, of fingernails clawing against the wooden frames on the paper door. He stood up and cautiously aproached the door. "hello?" he asked, listening intently.........., then slowly...carefully...he reached for the door....."SHIGURE!!!!!!!" "AHHHHH!!!"

Yuki awoke with a start to the sound of a loud bang and the sound of Shigure screaming. He sighed. "what have you done NOW Shigure?" he grummbled to himself as he stood up and walked over to Shigure's room.

meanwhile, Kyo awoke to the same screaming, but after a long day of being chased by Kagura, the sohma girl who wants to marry him, he simply rolled over and went back to sleep.

"Shigure? what's wrong with-" Yuki froze in the doorway in surprise. "shigure?!!!" he said in disbelief. Shigure looked dazed, but he sat there giggeling, dressed up in a pink dress, that looked like it had been thrown on him in some sort of struggle. behind him stood Ayame, grinning from ear to ear, and waving energetically to his younger brother, Yuki. Yuki groaned. Just then, Cassie and Tohru came charging up behind him. "YOU!!!" Cassie screamed, pointing at Ayame. Both Tohru and Cassie were dressed up in pretty dresses, which also looked like they had been attacked with. Yuki raised his eyebrows in surprise, then looked menacingly to Ayame. "WHAT DID YOU DO?!!!!" he yelled angrilly. "oh really my dear brother, i just had this wonderfull insperation for a new dress, and i simply HAD to have someone try it out!" he grinned. "DAMN YOU!!!!!!!" Yuki screamed.

Kyo was once again awakened by the sound of more screaming, and strange thudding noises that followed. he groaned and rolled over again. "stupid rat" he murmered as he fell back into a deep sleep.

Ayame lay on the floor with a bloody nose and two black eyes. "why do you hate me so? he asked of Yuki, who was still red in the face with anger. he turned to Tohru with a look of worry in his eyes. "what did he do to you?" he asked her, gingerly touching her shoulders. "um, well...all he did was..i mean, it's ok, i'm fine and everything..-""HE CAME INTO OUR ROOM, WITHOUT KNOCKING, ATTACKED TOHRU WITH THAT DRESS, THEN DID THE SAME TO ME!!!!" Cassie yelled angrilly. Yuki turned coldly to Ayame. "you're not hurt, are you miss Honda? and miss Shenron?" he glared at Ayame as he said this. "i'm fine, really," Tohru said. "now, calm down Yuki..." Shigure said, standing in between Yuki and his brother. "after all, all he did was put them into dresses, he didn't touch them or anything..."Shigure said patiently. "well...actually..." Ayame said flirtingly...."YOU SICK BASTARD!!!" Yuki screamed, and dove at Ayame again.

Kyo awoke again as the entire house seemed to shake. he groaned. "what is going on here?" he grummbled, as he got up and march down to Shigure's room, the source of all the screaming. "WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!!!" he yelled as he opened the door. he gasped in surprise at the scene. Shigure was on top of Ayame and Yuki, trying to pry them off each other..but it looked very very wrong...meanwhile Cassie and Tohru were standing there in dresses that were only partly on (they had pj's on underneath) and both were looking extremly confused while Cassie looked like she was about to kill some one. Cassie stood over Ayame and was hitting him with a broom she found. Kyo walked over to Tohru and grabbed her hand. "let's get out of here" he said, and she came with out a word, still in shoke.

Kyo lead her back to her room. "I'm sleeping in the doorway, ok? that way, no one gets in, and if something does happen, i'm right here, okay?" he looked at her carefully. "you don'yt have to Kyo..."she murmured. "i want to" he responded, then pushed her into her room. "i'll keep you safe" he whispered, then grumbeled to himself about all the perverts living in the house, he curled up outside her bedroom doorway. "goodnight Kyo" he heard Tohru say. Kyo smiled to himself.''goodnight Tohru" and he drifted off to sleep again.
