I never...

Tohru looked up from the stove where she was stirring the miso soup. There it was again. A bell chiming.

Never imagined...

"Coming!"

She quickly put the lid on the pot, setting the laddle down and walking into the enterance hall.

She slid open the paper paneled door, to come face to face with a young man,
drenched with the rain.

That I would come in contact...

She took a step back, taking in the looks of the stanger. But he didn't look like a stranger, he looked like Shigure...but signifigantly younger.

"Excuse me, would this be the residence of Sohma Shigure?"

He had a strange accent, and he struggled with his words, pausing between them.
She looked up, seeing small arms draped around his shoulders from behind.

"Miss?"

"Ah! Yes, this is Shigure-san's home, please, come inside!"

She bowed a few times, apologizing for making them stand out in the rain for so long.

In contact with Sohma oddities other than the Jyunnishi.

"Tohhhhhhhhhhru-chan Who was at the-"

Tohru looked up to see Sohma Shigure round the corner and stop dead in his tracks.

All was silent except for the child on the young man's back stirring.

These original characters are not meant to be paired with anyone or be any type of false jyunnishi. This fanfic is to express my thoughts on just who exactly Shigure's parents and what happened to them.
