DISLAIMER: I don't own any of the Fruits Basket Characters!

As they were going home, Tohru was thinking. She's thinking so hard that she wasn't watching where she was going.

Yuki said, "Tohru, is something bothering you?"

Tohru asked Shigure, "What will now happen to the Jyunishi?"

Shigure answered, "We'll be free to do what we want. Akito won't be ruling over us anymore."

Tohru asked, "He hates me now because he can't boss any of the Jyunishi anymore, huh?"

Yuki answered, "Maybe he is. But like Shigure said, he can't boss any of us anymore so I'm free to love you. And after a few more years, I can marry you."

Tohru was startled and turned scarlet. "M-m-arry?"

Shigure teased, "Tohru Souma…. Sounds good."

Tohru laughed nervously. Yuki held her hand. "Don't worry. I won't ask you that yet. We'll work on it together, okay?"

Tohru smiled and nodded. She changed the subject. "Shigure, when we were at the door this afternoon, what made you think that it was Ayame on the door?"

Shigure was shocked. "Well… um… He usually visits at that time of the day."

Tohru asked, "Why doesn't he visit you now?"

Shigure didn't answer for a moment. Yuki looked at him, waiting for an answer.

"Okay, I'll tell you. But promise me you won't tell or laugh?" Shigure asked.

Tohru and Yuki nodded. Shigure took a deep breath and said, "Ayame is gay. And we had a relationship."

Tohru and Yuki stopped dead on the road and sweat dropped. They were showing signs of shock, fear, and laughter.

Tohru giggled. "Is that why you dated Isuzu?"

Yuki was still shocked. "My brother is… gay?" He kept muttering those words all the way back to the house.

Shigure sighed, "I shouldn't have told you."

Tohru answered, "Well, it's okay anyway. It's in the past. You have Isuzu now anyway."

Shigure smiled. "You always look at the positive side of everything. That must be the reason why Yuki liked you."

Tohru blushed. "Well… I guess so."

Ayame was alone in his shop. Mine took a vacation for a couple of days.

"What am I to do? I am so alone."

Then he got an idea. "I'll go to Hatori's place."

When Ayame knocked on Hatori's door, Hatori opened it. Seeing that it was Ayame, he closed it.

angelraine: This chapter is too short. Also, Hatori looked bad here. My fault ;; All that this chapter has to say answered the question from the first story: What happened to Shigure and Ayame? Hope you'll read the next chapters… I'm currently writing them. :D
