"Mama," asked a little Sohma girl one day. "Why do I never get to see daddy?"

Uo sighed. "Daddy has some, err… issues."

"But why can't I see him?"

"Because you might hug him."

"Why?"

"Because he's your father."

"Why?"

"Because I love him."

"Why?"

"Because he reminds me of a dear friend of mine."

"Why?"

"Because they're both klutzes."

"Why?"

"I don't know."

"Why?"

"Can you please be quiet?"

"Why?"

"Because you're giving me a headache."

"Why?"

"Because you're talking to much."

"Why?"

"Because you want to know why you never see daddy."

"Why?"

"Because he's a chicken!" shouted Uo, frustrated with her daughter.

"You mean he's a coward?"

"Ugh…"

"My, aren't we implying a lot with that?" asked Hana.

"Just zip it." said Uo firmly. "It was just a story, okay?"

Kureno looked over at Uo skeptically, chin rested on his palm and one eyebrow arched.

"What?" asked Uo, turning away from him, blushing quite brightly.

"Nothing," he said simply.

"Whoa, Kureno?" asked Haru surprised. "How long have you been sitting there?"

"This whole time,"

"Uh-oh…Aren't you mad?"

"Why should I be?"

"All those stories and…never mind." said Haru, thinking it best if he didn't know that they had been making fun of him.

"Mm'kay," started Kagura, "I wanna do MY story now. Alright, this is about a handsome cat who is madly in love, but an evil onigiri tries to steal him away…"
