Chapter 9

"What do ya'll want?" asked Hana as they walked into his office.

"We don't want you to see Momiji anymore," said Hatori.

Hana stared at them wide eyed and asked, "Why?"

"Because Akito doesn't like it," replied Shigure.

"What, does Akito want to go out with me or something? Because he didn't seem to mind when he kissed me this morning," said Hana outraged.

"No it's not that," said Shigure.

"Then what is it Shigure-Kun?" said Hana standing out of her chair.

"You got it right, but it's not Akito it's… it's…" Shigure paused and looked at the ground.

"Who is it Shigure? Who?" Hana asked getting angry.

"It's me," Shigure replied.

Hana just stared in shock and backed away from him a couple of steps.

Shigure stepped closer to her and said, "Hana, I want you to be mine and only mine. Forget about Momiji and come to me."

"Forgets a mighty big word for such a small man," said Hana going to walk out.

Hatori looked at Shigure like oh you just got burned and said, "Come on just give him a chance. He's really nice when you get to know him."

"No," said Hana simply.

"Why?" asked Shigure.

"Because I like someone more mature then you'll ever be," Hana replied walking to the door.

Shigure grabbed her arm and said, "You'll be mine whether you like it or not."

The look in his eyes freaked Hana out as she tried to pull out of his grip, but he was too strong for her delicate little form.

"Please don't hurt me," she begged.

Shigure looked her in the eyes and saw her almost in tears. He sighed and held her head to his chest.

He held her for a second, letting her cry into his shirt, then said, "I would do nothing to hurt you Hana-San."

"I really like you Shigure-Kun, but I don't want to hurt Momiji," said Hana.

Shigure's eyes got huge at what she said, and he said, "I understand what you mean."

"It's not just you and Momiji either. There's others too," said Hana pulling her face out of his chest to look up at him. "I also like Hatori-Kun, Hatsuharu-San, Akito-San, yes I said Akito, and Yuki-Kun too."

"But if you had to choose between any of the people you just named, who would it be?" asked Shigure still holding her.

"I don't know. Maybe you or Momiji," she replied.

"I like the first one you said," said Shigure, obviously talking about himself, and he looked deeply into her crimson black eyes with his beautiful brown ones.

Hana could get lost in his eyes because they were so beautiful, and they burned into hers. She wanted to look away but it was like his eyes took control over her body. She just melted in his grasp, and he held her tighter against him.

"It feels so good to actually hold a girl that isn't in the family," said Shigure to no one in particular.

"I agree," said Hatori.

"Ya'll have never been able to hold a girl outside your family?" asked Hana looking up at Shigure.

"No, because of the curse," he replied simply.

"Well, you can hold me as long as you want," replied Hana wrapping her arms around his waist.

"Good. Because I never want to let go," replied Shigure.

"Well, I better be going," said Hatori walking away from the loving scene.

"Where are Shigure and Hana?" asked Momiji when Hatori walked out of the office alone.

"They're still talking," he replied. "Well, I have to be on my way back home to check on Akito." And with that he left.

"Bye," called Tohru out the door.

"Bye," he called back.

"I wonder what they're talking about," Momiji said looking toward the office door.

"Who knows?" said Kyo rudely.
