(Part Two:)

Tohru walked upstairs and knocked on Kyo's door. When he told her to come on in she opened it and peered inside.

"Kyo. What are you doing?"

"Trying to straighten this tie," he grumbled, "I never know how to handle these things."

She giggled and came into the room to help him. He smiled as she expertly tied it correctly.

"Thanks" he replied, "Did you need something?"

"Oh no" she shook her head, "I was just wondering what was keeping you. Yuki is downstairs already waiting for us in the hall."

"Okay" Kyo nodded with a slight frown, "Well how does it look?"

Tohru stood back and admired the tie. Then she smiled.

"It looks good. Come on. Let's go on down."

"All right" he agreed, "I can't believe I have to get dressed up like this."

"But you look real good" she said sweetly.

"Thank you. You look really good too" he grinned staring at the navy blue dress that she was wearing.

"Oh Kyo you're sweet. Well Yuki we're here" she replied as they came downstairs.

"About time stupid cat" Yuki said, "We have reservations you know."

"I know. I know" Kyo snarled as he tried to flatten his hair.

"You kids have a good time!" Shigure called from the sitting room.

"Yes!" Ayame added, "And if you can try to bring us back a doggie bag! No offense Shigure."

"None taken" Shigure laughed.

Yuki rolled his eyes and opened the door for Tohru. She walked out followed by Kyo. Yuki was the last one out the door. In the sitting room Shigure turned to his best friend.

"You know what Aya" Shigure said.

"What Shigure?" Ayame asked curiously.

"We really won't need a doggie bag. We're going out to eat too."

"Oh what a fabulous idea Shigure. Where are we going?"

"You'll see my friend" Shigure grinned mischievously, "You'll see."

(Next Scene)

Yuki, Tohru, and Kyo arrived outside the restaurant where Ritsu was already waiting for them. When Kyo saw him his mouth dropped open.

"Ritsu?" he stuttered.

"Hello Kyo" he bowed his eyes, "It's so nice to see you again."

"It's nice to see you too, but you look so different. You're wearing men's clothing."

"Yes" Ritsu nodded.

"And your hair is shorter."

"Oh yes" Ritsu smiled, "I like it much better this way don't you?"

"Oh I uh" Kyo said not quite knowing what to say.

"Well come on everyone" Yuki replied, "Let's go on inand get seated."

Meanwhile walking down the sidewalk Kandis and Rebecca were talking about the different sights they saw while they walked.

"So tell me Kandis" Rebecca said, "Why on earth did you want to go to dinner tonight? On a Friday night of all times? Tomorrow is usually the day people go out for dinner."

"I just wanted to" Kandis replied with a grin, "Besides I have heard it is quite the lovely restaurant. Full of many surprises" she chuckled.

"What's going on?" Rebecca eyed her cousin suspiciously and with a smile of her own.

"I can't tell you. Not yet anyway. Oh look we're here" she stopped, "Shall we go in?"

Rebecca shook her head with a grin but followed her cousin in just the same. The restaurant was quite crowded for a Friday night and Rebecca wondered whether they would get a table. Kandis meanwhile wondered where Tohru and the others were. She finally spotted them when three girls came into the restaurant also dressed up. The three of them walked over to a nearby table that was vacant and sat down. They were close enough to see Yuki from where he sat.

"I don't see that witch anywhere yet do you?" Minami replied to Miho.

"No" Miho shook her head, "But we know she is going to be here."

"Not to mention Tohru Honda too" Mai said.

"What?" the two of them stared at where she was pointing.

Tohru was sitting down in her chair while Kyo held it out for her. The two girls sighed.

"Oh that's all right" Minami replied, "She's with her boyfriend. Maybe they're on a double date or something. Just keep looking for Kuragi. She is the one we are supposed to be watching."

"But um" Mai spoke up, "Isn't President Motoko supposed to be here tonight?"

"Yes" Miho nodded, "I called her and she said she would meet us here. Oh wait someone is approaching Yuki but it doesn't look like Machi Kuragi."

"Huh?" Minami exclaimed, "Are you sure?" she looked.

Sure enough Kandis and Rebecca had arrived at Tohru's table. Yuki was helping Kandis into her chair with a smile. Meanwhile Rebecca had sat down and was staring right into Ritsu's eyes, who was sitting across from her.

"Who is that girl?" Minami wondered aloud.

(Next Scene)

Across the room Yuki had sat down and Rebecca had turned to her cousin.

"So this is why you wanted to go out tonight?" she whispered in her ear.

"Yes well Yuki invited us and how could I turn him down right?"

"Uh huh" Rebecca said not believing a word Kandis said, then turning back to Ritsu, "So it's nice to see you again" she replied sweetly to him.

"Oh uh yes" he said shyly looking up a little.

"It's Ritsu right?"

"Uh huh" he nodded, "And you're name is Rebecca?"

"Yes" she nodded also, "You got a good memory."

"So far so good" Yuki whispered into Torhu's ear and she nodded.

Kandis and Kyo merely smiled and then turned to their menus.

"What looks good in here?" Kandis said.

"Oh" Yuki looked into her menu and pointed out a few things, "There's a lot of good meals at this place. Machi and I have come several times."

"Machi?" Kandis replied, "Is that your girlfriend?"

"Yes" Yuki nodded with a smile.

"Congrats Yuki. So who is she? Oh wait don't tell me. She's that one girl you actually called by her first name right?"

"Yes exactly. How did you know that?" he asked surprised.

"Oh believe me I can tell" she replied with a smile and placing her hand on his arm.

(Next Scene)

"I don't believe it" Minami practically squealed, "She's got her hand on his arm. The nerve of that girl whoever she is."

"What girl? Motoko appeared sitting down.

"Uh President" Mai replied, "It looks like Yuki is out with a different girl tonight."

"You're joking right?" she said her face falling and looking toward the table, "Who is she?" she frowned.

"We don't know" Minami shook her head, "All we know is that she is being far too friendly with him.

"I'll say she hasn't stopped talking to him" Miho added, "Even Tohru Honda hasn't talked to him that much yet."

"Tohru Honda" Motoko replied, "She's here?"

"Yes" Minami nodded, "She's with them over there with her boyfriend."

Motoko looked over and saw Tohru talking to Ritsu and Rebecca as well as Kyo who was smiling, quite enjoying the conversation. He noticed the Prince Yuki fan club and frowned a bit as another pair of people walked into the restaurant. He turned to Tohru and whispered in her ear.

"Tohru we may have a problem?" he replied.

"What is it Kyo?" she asked.

"That damn fan club of the damn rat is here tonight and they are spying on him right now. See over there?" he pointed with his eyes as the four girls turned away.

"You're right" she said, "And even Motoko Minigawa the former president is with them. Oh I hope they don't ruin the evening for Ritsu and Rebecca."

"Not to mention us as well. Listen Tohru if you can try to take Kandis to the ladies room and tell her about our predicament. I'll try to talk to the damn rat."

"Okay" Tohru agreed, "Um Kandis."

"Mhm" Kandis looked over.

"I have to run to the ladies room, would you like to join me?"

"Well I" Kandis started to say but noticed the urgency in her eyes, "Sure" she nodded, "I'll be right back" she told Rebecca as she got up and followed Tohru.

"And uh" Kyo said nervously, "Yuki I kind of need to talk to you about something."

"Now Kyo?" Yuki looked at him with a weird look on his face.

"Yea" Kyo nodded moving his head slightly, "Now."

Yuki sighed and stood up.

"Please excuse us for a moment you guys" he told Ritsu and Rebecca, "We won't be long" he followed Kyo towards the men's room.

Ritsu and Rebecca watched as they departed and then turned once more to each other, both of them with huge grins on their faces.

"Well I would say that we have officially been set up" she giggled.

"I would have to agree with you" he laughed a little, "But I really don't mind."

"Really? Why is that?"

"I was hoping that I would get another chance to see you. You know we really didn't get much time to talk the last time."

"You're right about that. Well I guess the first thing we should do is introduce ourselves properly. Hello" she held out her hand, "I am Rebecca Ward."

"Hello I am Ritsu Sohma" he shook her hand which felt warm, "You speak very well for being from America."

"Well actually" she replied, "My father is American and my mother is Japanese so I can speak both. In fact I was thinking about moving back here. That's why I am here really. To try and find a place to live."

"Really that's great" he nodded as their drinks were brought, "Oh thank you" he said to the waiter who nodded his head, and since he noticed that their were no others at the table said he would back later for their orders.

"So tell me" Rebecca replied, "Are you one of them?"

"One of what?" he raised his eyebrow.

"You know one of the Zodiac" she whispered the last word almost making him spit out his water.

"You mean you know about that?" he whispered back shocked.

"Yes" she whispered again with a smile, "And I take it from your reaction that you are one?"

"Well yes" he nodded, "I am one."

"That's so neat" she said, "Would you mind telling me which animal you are?"

"Oh I don't know" he shook his head shyly, "You'll probably just think it's silly."

"No I won't" she said.

"Oh trust me you will" he replied, "I am very unlike my cursed animal."

"Please" she said sweetly.

"Well all right" he lowered his voice, "I'm. I'm the monkey."

"You are?" she replied excitedly.

"Well yes. Why do you sound so happy?"

"I adore monkeys. I mean I really love them."

"You do?" he raised both his eyebrows this time," I mean you really like them?"

"Are you kidding? They are my most favorite animal in the whole world."

"Really?" he asked as Tohru and the others returned minus Yuki who had gone to talk to the manager.

"What does this tell you?" she held up her purse.

"You have a monkey on your purse?" he replied astonished.

"Of course she does" Kandis said as she sat down, "She loves monkeys more than anything."

"Well you're in luck then aren't you Ritsu" Kyo replied, "You are the monkey."

The manager and Yuki came back. He had asked if they could change tables. But the truth was that two of the fan club members had followed him and Kyo and had waited outside the boy's room for him, which was quite close to the kitchens. A couple of seconds later as they sat down at their new table a crash of trays was heard. Motoko and Mai got up to go see what caused the racket and Kyo watched from where he sat. Minami and Miho were covered in rice and all kinds of foods that had fallen off the trays when they had bumped into the waiters. Motoko shook her head and dashed out of the restaurant closely followed by the three girls. The manager just shook his head and Kyo laughed.

"What's so funny?" Ritsu asked.

"Oh nothing" Kyo grinned, "Just a couple of people getting their desserts. They're just desserts that is" he whispered into Tohru's ear, who tried not to giggle behind her hand.

The waiter came over and took their order. Nearby watching from a table two pairs of eyes gazed at their younger cousins as they continued to enjoy the rest of their evening, from behind their menus.

"See Aya" Shigure grinned, "Not only do I provide dinner, but a show as well."

"Yes Shigure" Ayame smiled back happily, "And you always manage to deliver the best."
