"What have I done!" Shigure moaned.

Yuki turned around and saw Ayame on the floor, playing dead. Shigure must have hit Ayame with a red paintball, because it looked like he was shot in the chest. Yuki noticed that Ayame was not dressed up as the Sock Fairy anymore. Weird…..

"I've killed Aaya! How could I?" Shigure cried.

Yuki tried hard to contain his laughter. Shigure actually thought he killed Ayame. That idiot, Ayame could be killed by a stupid paintball gun.

"You're under arrest for murder," Yuki said to Shigure, while handcuffing him.

"Yes, take me away. Lock me up. I killed my best friend. I KILLED MY BEST FRIEND!" Shigure yelled.

"Quiet down, criminal," Yuki said, pointing his paintball gun to Shigure's head.


This was easier that he thought. He brought Shigure back to Tohru's office, who was very pleased with Yuki.

"You show much talent, Momiji always brought back anyone who ran in the hallways," Tohru said happily, while locking Shigure in a "jail cell" AKA the closet.

"So tell me, how did you do it?" Tohru asked, lowering her voice to a whisper.

"He thinks he killed Ayame," said Yuki.

"Ayame…….Ayame… he doesn't work for me. That makes no sense," said Tohru.

"I know. Unless Ayame is trying to get back at Shigure," said Yuki.

"That's your next assignment. Find out why Ayame faked his own death. Oh, and bring me back some coffee," said Tohru.

"And get me cream cheese! I want my cream cheese!" Kyo yelled.


Get answers out of Ayame wasn't hard, but how was Yuki suppose to get coffee and a bagel with cream cheese without leaving the school? Yuki focused on finding Ayame first. He found Ayame in the teachers' lounge, washing the paint off of his clothing.

"Nii-san, I have a few questions to ask you," Yuki said.

"I'll only answer if you help me with a few things," Ayame demanded.

"Like what?"

"First you have to find Rin."

"Why?"

"Don't you have some questions to ask me?"

"Oh yeah, why'd you pretend to be dead in front of Shigure?" Yuki asked.

"Revenge," Ayame said.

"What did he do?" Yuki asked.

"We got into a fight this morning. He accused me off stealing some of his book, like I'd read that trash. Then he got mad at me for calling his novels 'trashy' and he told me to get out," Ayame explained.

"Oh, so you let yourself be shot and pretended to die," said Yuki.

"Correct, and I need you to get Rin. She said she'll help me look like a ghost," said Ayame.

"OK, I'm off. I'll be back with Rin," said Yuki.


Yuki wandered the hallways, wondering how he would find Rin. He was brought back to reality when he bumped into someone. He looked up and saw that he bumped into Rin.

"What where you're going," she snapped.

"Rin! I've been looking for you!" said Yuki.

"Uh, why?" Rin asked.

"Well, I'm helping Ayame. He's the one that need your help. Something about a ghost," Yuki said.

"Oh yeah! I was looking for that baka hebi (A/N: baka hebi stupid snake)," said Rin.

"Yeah, follow me," said Yuki.

He led Rin back to the empty teachers' lounge where Ayame was sitting at one of the tables, falling asleep.

"Nii-san, I brought Rin back," said Yuki.

"Oh, good! How can I pay you?" Ayame asked.

"With coffee and cream cheese," said Yuki.

Ayame handed Yuki a coffee pot filled to the brim with coffee, and a package of cream cheese. Yuki took them and returned to Tohru's office.


"Good, you returned with the coffee," said Tohru.

Yuki handed over the filled coffee pot, and was then attacked by Kyo.

"CREAM CHEESE! I need my cream cheese!" Kyo shouted.

"Here," Yuki handed Kyo the package of cream cheese.

"I'll love you forever," Kyo said, rubbing his head against Yuki's arm in a cat-like manner (A/N: my cat does this)

"Uh… this is awkward," said Yuki.

Kyo was now sitting on Yuki's lap, purring and eating cream cheese.

"Kyo only loves two things, cream cheese and people who give him cream cheese,' said Tohru.

"Well this is weird," said Yuki.
