Author's Note: Aww... no one gave reviews for this. I guess people hate to review for my story. Oh, well... sorry, I couldn't work on it. I had a huge writers' block problem. I hope it's okay. I'm going to stop apoligizing now... cause sooner or later, you people would think I would be like Ritsu... which I don't think I am.

Disclaimer: Should be obvious...

Chapter 2 - Playing Around

The group enters the house of Shigure's, as normally as everyone comes into a house. After the closing of the door, they found themselves in the safety zone of no snow flurries occuring. There was only peace and silence in the wooden house. Until, everyone made their way into the living room.

"Shigure, we're home, early!" Tohru calls out. A few moments of tranquility had come and go into the house. "He must be gone," Yuki said.

Momiji laughs. "He must be busy with his work!" But he was wrong.

"Shigure! Why? Why? Why do you always have to torment me like this?" someone like Mii cries. The sound echoing in the house. A nervous laugh came from a room not far away. "Please, give me the manuscript this instant!" the same Mii cries out loud again.

"Well, you see, it got lost in the many garbage that I was in," Shigure replies to the editor.

"Lost? You irresponsible idiot? How could you lose it? Answer me?"

"Shigure, don't you think you should stop trying to stress out the woman out?" another voice asks. More calm than the two.

"Oh, this is no fun. Why Ha'ri? Why did you have to spoil my fun?" Shigure asks.

"Because your 'fun' is not nessecary to anyone who is living. Now, give her the manuscript before I'll tell every embarrassing moments that had happen to you to your editor."

"Yes, sir," Shigure replies gloomingly. He pretends to rummage through his books to make them think that his manuscript was in the pile. He wasn't about to give up without a fight so he decided to joke around some more, after the dragon has left the building. "I know I had it somewhere."

"I think it is time for me to go and check up on some matters that I have to go to," Hatori informs, leaving Shigure's room. He spots the group that were sitting there and looking at him pass by through the common room.

"Hi, Hatori-san," Tohru greets, "You're not planning on staying here for dinner? I was hoping you would."

"It wouldn't be needed, but thank you. I must go now," Hatori speaks sternly. He exits through the entrance, walking to his car.

"Bye-bye, Ha'ri!" Momiji waves to him, as he leaves the house, "Let's do something! We have no homework so come on let's play!"

"Sure, Momiji-kun, but what do we play?" Tohru asks.

"Oh, I know! How about hiding-go-seek!" Momiji asks.

"What the hell kind of kiddy-ish game is that! I'm not going to play," Kyo answers, crossing his arms.

"That seems fun... I never got to play that for a long time," the cow speaks. He didn't hear anything that Momiji said even though it was loud and clear. The book he was reading was distracting his concentration.

Kyo stares at him, thinking that he was crazy. He never thought that Hatsuharu would ever say those words. "Well, we'll count you out for deciding things."

"What do you think Honda-san? What should we play for fun?" Yuki asks, facing Tohru.

"Uh... I'm not exactly sure, but all I know how to play is Dai Hin Min," Tohru answers.

"Wasn't that the game you and your friends were playing?" Momiji asks, placing his finger on his chin.

"Yeah, it is," Tohru nods.

"What is that game about?" Hatsuharu asks.

"Oh, it's a card game that Uo-chan taught me," Tohru answers, "It's really fun. Do you want to play it?"

"Sure... I'm up for any game," Hatsuharu said, calmly.

"Okay, I'll get the cards!" Tohru runs up to her room. She searches her room, but didn't seem to find the playing cards she was suppose to get. Where is it? I know I put it somewhere around here. She becomes more frantic as she searches everywhere in her room. After a few minutes, she fails to find the cards and returns to the group. "I can't really find it. I'm sorry if the cards are missing and I didn't mean to misplace."

"Aww... that means we don't get to play," Momiji whines.

"That's alright," Yuki smiles at her, thinking that would console her. Tohru smiles back. Meanwhile, outside the winds get harsher and the more snow is falling towards the ground, which is presently stinking to the ground on this very cold day.

"I'll just prepare lunch for you," Tohru walks into the kitchen, keeping a blissful look on her face. She was happy that Hatsuharu and Momiji was visiting. Once she came into the kitchen, she finds the window covered with snow. "Wow, it's really coming down." But that would be horrible for Hatsuharu-kun and Momiji-kun because they won't be able to go home, she thoughts to herself, I just hope the snow stops soon. She walks over to the refrigerator, examining if there was any food left to cook lunch.

Tohru finished preparing the lunch and presented the food on the table towards the group. "Okay, everyone! Enjoy the food!" she announces, sitting down with the boys, "Oh, what about Shigure-san?"

"Sensei, where are you! I know you're in this house somewhere!" Mii manages to gasp out loud. She was out of breath and slightly tired from the search. She couldn't find Shigure anywhere in this house.She was in the hallways, looking around the rooms. Until her search was interrupted by a white ball heading towards her. The white ball of snow hits her on the back. She knew it was Shigure's doing.

In the room that the group was in, they were peacefully eating. Shigure was hiding behind the door watching them eat. He had the desire to throw another snowball at someone else and fully open the door, aiming then attempting to fire it at Kyo, but missed and headed straight towards Hatsuharu's food. The food scatters all over Hatsuharu like a volcano. Shigure now realized that was a bad mistake to have thrown the snow at the first place. Uh oh.

Author's Note: Well, there you go. Please, review. Yeah, I know that sounded a bit desperate, but review and I might review.
