"I want everyone on their best behavior." Tatsumi warned. "Watari, no potions."
"But..." Watari began.
"Fukiya and Torii, you two will leave Kurosaki-kun alone and be very careful of your footing. Same goes for you Wakaba, be careful of your footing."
"Hai." The three nodded.
"Lastly, Terazuma and Tsuzuki, no fighting." Tatsumi nearly growled at them.
Tsuzuki and Terazuma glared at each other.
Tatsumi knocked lightly on the door to the Sohma house.
"I'll get it!" Came a voice from inside. The door opened to reveal a man about twenty-seven years of age with charcoal black hair and chocolate brown eyes. "Konnichiwa! My name is Sohma Shigure." He smiled.
'The dog.' Tatsumi thought with a smile. "It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Tatsumi Seiichirou."
"The math teacher, correct?" Shigure asked.
"Hai." Tatsumi confirmed.
Shigure shook his hand. "Please come in. Momiji-kun will show you to the dinning room."
Momiji grinned. "This way Tatsumi-sensei." He grinned.
"Watari Yutaka." Watari announced, shaking the other man's hand. "Pleased to meet you Shigure-san." He grinned.
"Pleased to meet you too. You're the science teacher, right?" Shigure asked.
"Hai!" Watari grinned.
"Please follow Momiji-kun." Shigure smiled.
Watari nodded and bounded after Tatsumi and Momiji.
"Kurosaki Hisoka." Hisoka told him.
"Ah! You're Yuki, Kyo, and Haru-kun's friend." Shigure smiled. "Nice to meet you Hisoka-kun."
Hisoka nodded and followed Watari's path into the house.
"Fukiya Yuma!" Yuma cheered.
"Torii Saya!" Saya giggled.
"Ah!" Shigure grinned. "So nice to meet you girls." He took their hands in his and kissed them.
Saya and Yuma blushed. "Arigato." They said in unison.
Momiji appeared again and smiled as Saya and Yuma followed him, both had a blush on their face.
Terazuma grunted, judging by the guy's reputation he'd do the same to his partner, Kannuki. "My name's Terazuma Hajime."
"The gym teacher, no?" Shigure smiled, shaking Terazuma's hand lightly.
"Hai. You're a writer, right? A novelist?" He asked.
"Hai, I am." Shigure smiled proudly.
"You're pretty good."
"Ah! Arigato. You've read some of my work?" Shigure nearly sparkled.
"Well I do read every once in-a-while." Terazuma explained. "I've come across a few of your works."
"Wow. I've never come across a reader before." Shigure told him.
"What about a fan?" Terazuma asked.
Shigure nearly hugged the other. "No, I haven't. It is such a pleasure to meet you, Terazuma-san!" He grinned.
Terazuma nodded and stepped aside so the last two guests could make it through the door.
"Konnichiwa Shigure-kun!" Wakaba greeted. "I'm Wakaba Kannuki." She smiled warmly at him.
"Konnichiwa Kannuki-kun." He grinned. "Oh! I love those kawaii little bows in your hair!"
"Arigato!" She flipped her hair behind her shoulder. "I did it myself." She told him.
"I goes beautifully with you dress and yourself, Kannuki-kun."
She blushed slightly. "Arigato."
He took her hand in his and kissed it. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Kannuki-kun."
Her blush deepened. "It's a pleasure to meet you too."
A soft, low growl was heard from behind Shigure.
"Hajime-chan!" Wakaba shouted at him.
Terazuma snorted and turned his head away.
Shigure just smiled. "Why don't you head to the dinning room?"
"Hai." She smiled and left without another word.
Tsuzuki hesitated at first. He was known to be a bit possessive. No doubt he would probably be extremely jealous of just a mere handshake. Tsuzuki decided he'd just have to take that chance. He stepped forward after Wakaba left and smiled at Shigure. "Konnichiwa Shigure-san."
"You must be the other Tsuzuki-sensei, Tsuzuki Asato?" He questioned, taking Tsuzuki's hand in his and shaking firmly.
"Hai." Tsuzuki nodded.
"A pleasure to meet you, Tsuzuki-kun." He smiled.
'Come on let go! He's going to say something, I know it. I hope he doesn't end up fighting with Yuji. That'd be bad, but funny too.' Tsuzuki smiled to himself.
"Why don't you two follow me to the dinning room?" Shigure smiled and lead the two to the dinning room like he said he would.
"Ah! Asato-chan, you made it!" Yuji grinned.
Tsuzuki repressed a growl and managed to just glare at his brother. He took a seat next to Tatsumi, across from Yuji.
"How was your day, little brother?" Yuji asked.
'Stop it!' Tsuzuki thought.
'Make me.' Yuji thought back.
'Yuji! You better damn well behave yourself tonight.' Tsuzuki warned.
'Such language, my dear little brother. Honestly, why would I misbehave in front of my students?'
'Students? You mean your victims!'
'I'm not going to do anything to them...today at least.' Yuji smirked.
"Tsuzuki-san?" Tatsumi asked.
"Nani?" Tsuzuki asked, blocking Yuji from his mind.
"Something wrong?" He asked.
"No."
"Just thinking, right Asato-chan?" Yuji grinned.
Tsuzuki nodded. "Hai."
"So, why'd you all become teachers?"
"I love kids." Yuji smiled and messed up Momiji's hair. Momiji grinned at him.
Tsuzuki rolled his eyes and said something about victims and food under his breath. After a sharp glance from Yuji, Tsuzuki grinned. "I suppose I did it for the same reason."
Tatsumi and Watari nodded in agreement.
Terazuma snorted. "I was just bored, nothing better to do with my time."
"But its fun to interact with the kids don't you think, Hajime-san?" Yuji asked.
Terazuma shook his head. "No. I had fifteen girls and three boys try to hug me today."
"What's wrong with hugs? Unless you have something to hide, ne Hajime-san?" Yuji quirked an eyebrow.
"Why would I have anything to hide?" Terazuma growled.
"I don't know. I suppose I became a mythology teacher because I believe in so much crap. One of the things I believe in most definitely is a curse." He smiled. "You wouldn't have a curse on you would you, Hajime-san?"
"Of course not!" Terazuma growled. "Nut case." He mumbled under his breath.
"No need to name call, unless, of course, it's true?" Yuji asked knowingly.
Another growl. "Unless you want me to kill you, I suggest you shut up."
"Oh dear." Shigure laughed. "It would seem a few of our guests don't get along."
"I think that's kind of obvious, Shigure." Kyo retorted, standing in the doorway.
"Excuse Terazuma's behavior." Tatsumi apologized, glaring at said man out of the corner of his eye.
"Mine as well." Yuji added.
"It's no problem. This kind of thing happens quite a lot around here." Shigure explained. "It's either Kyo and Yuki, Kyo and Kagura, Yuki and Ayame, Haru and Kyo, or Hiro and just about anyone." Shigure chuckled merrily.
"Yea. Our family's messed up." Kyo snorted.
"Now Kyo-kun, that doesn't seem fair." Yuji scolded lightly.
"Yea, your family isn't the only one that's messed up." Terazuma snorted, eyeing Yuji and Tsuzuki.
"And what's that suppose to mean, Hajime-chan?" Tsuzuki asked.
"Oh, nothing." He waved off the question.
"Asato-chan and I get along very well for your information, Hajime-san." Yuji retorted.
"Don't lie, Yuji." Tsuzuki snorted.
"I wasn't. We get along quite well." Yuji defended. "Like, when we were kids, I never acted like a normal older brother would and, say, sat on your head or something."
"Not all brothers act like that, that's a stereo-type, Yuki-kun and Aya-chan for instance." Shigure told them.
"Yea, some brothers throw each other through walls." Momiji grinned.
"Younger brother picks on older brother, huh?" Yuji asked.
"Hai." Momiji said.
"I think two siblings should get along, right Asato-chan?"
Tsuzuki mumbled something under his breath and looked away from his brother.
"I totally agree with you."
They all turned toward the sound of the voice. A man with long silver-white hair and golden eyes smiled at them.
"Ah! Aya-chan, you finally made it." Shigure greeted happily.
'The snake. He kind of looks like a girl.' Tsuzuki thought.
"I closed the shop early today." Ayame told him. "I just couldn't wait to see my little brother."
"I bet he can't wait to see you either." Kyo mumbled. "HEY, RAT BOY! YOUR BROTHERS' HERE!"
"Keep your voice down, baka neko." Yuki mumbled as he appeared in the kitchen door. "What are you doing here?"
"I was invited to dinner, of course." Ayame smiled.
"Sohma Ayame I presume?" Yuji asked as he stood.
"Hai. You must be one of Yuki's teacher." Ayame smiled, shaking Yuji's hand.
"Hai, I'm his mythology teacher." Yuji told him.
"But..." Watari began.
"Fukiya and Torii, you two will leave Kurosaki-kun alone and be very careful of your footing. Same goes for you Wakaba, be careful of your footing."
"Hai." The three nodded.
