A/N: well this chapter looked longer in handwriting but now that I see it I must apologies but there wasn't really any thing else that needed to be in here so this is the best I can do. The story by the way is just about done it's just a matter of putting in the computer that I'm struggling with, I have to type it on my computer , transfer to disk bring it to another computer, remember my password, and download, so this is getting hard.

The week passed by quickly as the dance approached. Pretty soon the night before the dance had arrived and Shigure brought it up at the dinner table. "The school dance is tomorrow isn't it?"

"Yes!" Tohru said enthusiastically, she had been excited about it all day, and could barely concentrate in class.

"Are you going Kyou?" He asked playfully.

"None of your damn business!"

"I do hope that you come, other wise me and Yuki will have to hog Tohru all for ourselves."

"What do you mean you and Yuki?" Kyou burst.

"What are you getting at Shigure?" Yuki was surprised too.

I volunteered to chaperone of course! I do hope you'll save one dance for a tired old soul like me Tohru. Of course that might make my date jealous."

"Date!" The boys yelled in angry unison.

"Why the hell are you bringing a date?" Kyou yelled.

"Who are you bringing?" Yuki asked slightly less agitated.

"I didn't want to be the only one without a date. As for who it is...That's for me to know and you to find out." He sang.

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Kyou shouted.

"Save your anger, he's toying with us, we won't find out till tomorrow." Yuki said giving up on the issue.

Kyou was about to yell again, but Tohru broke in cheerfully "You have a date? Shigure that's wonderful, I can't wait to meet her!"

"Oh Tohru, I'm so glad someone's happy for me!" /You've already met her./ "So will you save me a dance?" Shigure asked gleefully.

"Sure I will, I'd be honored to dance with you Shigure."

"Then it's set, we're all going to have a wonderful time! Right Yuki? Kyou?"
/Why does he keep pressing the matter/ Yuki frowned /He's up to something/

Kyou scowled and left the room. If Tohru's dance card kept filling up pretty soon there'd be no reason for him to go to the dance. "Why do I even bother?" He asked a gray cat, one of many that had appeared while he was sulking on the roof. The cat purred and rubbed against Kyou's cheek.

At this time Tohru came up onto the roof /Kyou's acting so strange lately, I hope he's not thinking of running away again, I'd really miss him./ "Kyou?"

"What?"

"I just wanted to ask if you were coming to the dance, I know you said you didn't want to before, but I was hoping you changed your mind." Silence from Kyou. "I was really hoping you'd come, even if you don't want to dance, it'd be no fun without you."

"You're so selfish Tohru, asking me to come so you can have fun. If you wanted to have fun with me at the dance you shouldn't have said yes to Yuki."

Tohru stroked the cat in her lap. "I can't go back on a promise now, all I can do to make it up to you is promise you a dance." Tohru got up and started to leave.

"Wait!" Kyou called after her. But she had already gone inside. "I'll come" He said "And I'll prove myself to you, and Yuki!"

A/N: the next chapter is my favorite one so I hope you like it, Hatori is in it I think I captured him well, so I'm sure you'll all like it.
