A/N: This took longer than I expected. The story is quickly turning from what I originally had planned into a Mine/Aya fic, and a story about his growing up.

Part Three: A Little Money Making Project

"You've been spending an awful lot of time with Mine lately." Shigure commented as he sat down with his friends for lunch, looking pointedly at Aya.

"Yes well, she really is a very sweet girl! And she's helped me to discover my destiny!" the snake replied with a dramatic flair.

"And what destiny would that be?" Hatori said flatly, not even bothering to look up from the notes he was studying.

"To be a great craftsman! A weaver of dreams!" Ayame went on in his enthusiastic way, "A tailor who sews together men's fantasies!"

"Fantasies?" Hatori asked, looking up, "And what fantasies would these be?"

"Oh you know, the boyhood dream of teacher and student, or perhaps maid's outfits. Cat ears are a classic…"

Shigure nodded, "Or perhaps the scandalous relationship with a younger woman?" he remarked eyeing a group of middle school girls who were walking past on their way to some sort of field trip.

"Disgusting." Hatori muttered as he turned his attention back to his studies.

The other two continued on their rant, "Oh yes, Shigure! Anything that arouses a passion! Cops, teachers, students, lawyers, oh! A forbidden affair between a doctor and nurse! This would be a wonderful fantasy!"

"No it wouldn't." Hatori commented before deciding to tune them out.

Ayame blinked his bright eyes as he turned his attentions to the dragon, "Oh? And what would your fantasy be?"

"Unlike you two, I believe that a relationship is based on caring, not some wild fantasy." Hatori said with a sigh, "The only fantasy I have is to fall in love and get married."

His two friends blinked at him before saying in unison, "Well that's boring."

Just then Mine came bouncing up to them, her hair in ringlets that bounced around her shoulders, "Ayame!" She called, waving at him.

"Ah! Mine!" He smiled and waved back at her, "You remember my friends, Gure and Ha'ri."

"Oh yes!" Mine said with a polite bow, "It's a pleasure to see you again!"

"And you." Shigure said, his attention focus not on the cheerful girl at their table, but rather at another group of middle school girls who had stopped to look at him and giggle, "Now if you'll excuse me…" He stood and walked over to the fence, smiling devilishly at the younger girls.

Hatori glanced out of the corner of his eye at the frolicking dog before looking to Mine, "And how have you been, Miss Kuramae?"

"Just fine, thank you Hatori!" Mine said with a grin, "Oh! Ayame! I got those fabrics you wanted!" She bubbled.

"Excellent! Wonderful job!" Aya beamed.

"Yay!" Mine smiled at the compliment.

"Fabric?" Hatori looked questioningly at his friend.

"Why yes! After all, men don't wait till after high school to have their fantasies, do they?" the snake replied as he swept his long silver hair over his shoulder.

Hatori rolled his eyes, "You aren't thinking of selling those…outfits…here at school are you?"

"Not at all!" Aya exclaimed, "That would be stupid! I couldn't find a place to keep the outfits anyway."

"So, he's going to pass out item lists! Then the students can come to him to pick up their orders!" Mine's curls bouncing as she turned to pull out one of the fliers and handed it to Ha'ri.

"A brilliant idea, if I do say so, thought up by Mine herself!" Ayame explained in an exalting tone as Mine bounced excitedly upon hearing yet another compliment.

"You realize," Hatori said, barley glancing at the flier, "that this will land you in trouble with the school board."

Aya paused to think about that statement, "Hmmm, I suppose. But, I've talked my way out of trouble before! I can do it again! The desires of our school mates must not continue to be ignored!"

Hatori simply sighed in exasperation, crumpling the flier and throwing it over his shoulder into the garbage, then turned back to his studies.

"Well, gotta go hand these out!" Mine said as she produced several more fliers from her bag.

"Yes, soon the orders will start to pour in!" Aya said in his hyper way. With that Mine walked away.

Chapter done. I have no clue how long this story is gonna be. Originally it was supposed to just be three chapters, but like I said before, it kinda morphed into a different story than I had originally planned.
