I effin love you guys! Y'all are just cool. Unlike me, I am just a big computer dork who likes Algebra and wears to much eyeliner. Now if you'll excuse me…I think I will go to my corner to cry!

Disclaimer: I think I will say it in rap…

Hey Hey Hey,

I don't own Yuki, Kyo, Or Shigure!

I can type really fast,

Never finish last,

And I don't own the Furuba cast!

So if your listening to my rap,

Don't talk crap,

My kitty's sitting in my lap,

Taking a nap!

Hmmm…Not really the gangsta look I was going for, more like Dr. Sues. Oh well! Now on to my fantabulo story…

Last Time

He heard Shigure's voice filled with worry calling Tohru's name. He ducked below the open window so they couldn't see him and heard the heart wrenching words.

"Tohru, it's Akito. He says that he would like to see you." (for those of you who don't know, Yuki was the one who was under the window)

This Time

No Regrets

"Akito?" Tohru said in a hushed whisper that Yuki could barely hear from his place at the window. "But…why?"

"I don't think he was to happy about us throwing a party for you. I don't like him taking it out on you though." He looked crestfallen. "It should have been me that got punished."

"Don't say that Shigure! Akito can never make me regret anything. I am happy to know all of you and if it means getting hurt to continue to know all of you then I don't mind!"

Yuki heard a small poof and he knew that the dog had hugged her. 'This is weird…I have never seen this side of Shigure.' He slowly crept from underneath the window and headed for the door.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Tears welled up in his eyes as he listened to Tohru saying that she was happy getting hurt if it meant that she could stay with them. He couldn't help but hug the poor girl. She had been through so much pain in her life, and was now going through more just to be with them.

When he pulled away, she wiped her eyes. "Thank you Shigure, It's good to know that I have so many people that care about me."

"I think I am the one that should be thanking you. And I don't mind coming with you to see Akito if it would make you feel any better. I know that Kyo isn't allowed to go and Yuki probably wouldn't want to see him. So maybe Ha'ri and I could be your protectors," Shigure yapped, returning to his normal, happy self. She smiled and nodded politely. When she heard the "poof" signaling his transformation she limped out of the room covering her eyes and he just shook his head at the retreating figure.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Kyo pounded his fist on the wall in frustration. Tohru had now been alone in the room with Shigure for FAR too long. When he heard her scream he lost all of his self-control. She wobbled out of the living room covering her eyes and he ran to her side.

"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO HER YOU FILTHY MUTT!"

Tohru uncovered her eyes and let out a startled "eep". Shigure walked out of the room while buttoning the last few buttons of his kimono.

"I didn't do anything Kyo! How could you accuse me of such a crime? I must say that it pains me deeply," Fake tears spilled over onto his cheeks and Tohru looked flushed.

"Umm..Kyo, he really didn't do anything to hurt me. We were just talking."

"Whatever," he mumbled and then started to walk towards the stairs. "Hatori said that the bus should be here in about an hour and we should start getting packed."

He was halfway up the stairs when he remembered that Tohru couldn't get up them alone. 'Shit!' His face burned with a blush as he made his way back to where she was standing at the foot of the stairs next to a smirking Shigure. She let out another "eep" as he picked her up in his arms without a warning. He bit his cheek to keep from smiling.

When he placed her at the top of the stairs, he heard Shigure burst out in laughter. He turned and now looked at Tohru's tomato colored face. Their eyes met and he got a blush of his own. "Don't expect that everyday." He walked off, pretending that he didn't like it.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Hatori carried Tohru down the stairs precisely an hour later. She was wearing the navy blue dress that Ayame had made her for her birthday. It stopped a couple inches before it reached her knees, and it had white lining around the low-cut collar and the hem. A white sash was tied around her waste and her hair was put up in the ribbons that Kagura had given her.

She was also wearing the golden locket that Hana had given her (remember? Chapter four?) had one of the white carnations that Kisa and Hiro had given her tucked behind her ear. The girl he had once said was "ordinary" looked surprisingly beautiful and everyone seemed to agree.

Yuki gasped when she was placed at the foot of the stairs, Haru had a glint of black in his eyes, and Kyo blushed furiously. Ayame let out a squeal of delight when he saw that she was wearing his dress. He clapped his hands together and carried her out to the bus that had just arrived.

Kagura and Rin exchanged looks and Kagura hit Kyo over the back of the head…hard.

"What the hell was that for!"

"You were drooling." His blush increased and he climbed into the bus, glad that Tohru hadn't seen or heard what had just happened.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Rin looked at Haru uncomfortably. They had broken off their relationship only a couple of months ago and he was already looking at another girl (1.). She didn't really care, but this was Tohru.

Haru and Rin were still on good terms; they had just decided that it would be better if they were just friends. Since the decision, Rin's health had improved and she seemed to be a little bit happier. Infact, Rin and Haru had combined their money and bought Tohru a beautiful, leather-bound book on ancient Chinese myths, legends, and curses. Rin gave her a card that told her that she knew that she was also trying to find a way to break the curse and told her that she would help out if there was any way that she could.

'I guess I don't hate her. It's not her fault that every Sohma boy she meets seems to fall for her.' She climbed into the bus and decided to go to Shigure's house for a visit. Actually, everyone was in the bus to go to Shigure's house. It seemed like the only place that everyone could get together without a particular reason.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Shigure was a little bit annoyed. Everyone had decided to come home with them and he had to order a larger bus to bring back the six extra people now riding with them. He sat down next to Ayame with a "humph" and the snake proceeded to cheer him up. They soon began to whisper back and forth about ways to get the boys to confess their love for Tohru, and Hatori gave them a glare when they began to giggle.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Drowsiness began to wash over Tohru as she sat and stared at the rapidly passing scenery. She stifled a yawn and leaned her head against the window, falling asleep as soon as the cold, glass surface hit her forehead.

She was awoken an hour later when the bus gave a jolt as the driver hit the brakes a little to quickly. To her dismay, she landed in an unsuspecting Yuki's lap. He blinked at her startled and she quickly got up and started to apologize continuously, only to be interrupted by Ayame and Shigure who had burst out in laughter at the sight of Yuki's flushed face.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Kyo and Haru glared at Yuki, and then glared at each other when their gazes met. Ayame noticed and pointed this out to Shigure, who only continued to laugh. 'What the hell is wrong with this stupid family?' Kyo and the now almost Black Haru thought, simultaneously.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Tohru scooted over to Shigure about an hour before they were to arrive at home.

"When does Akito want me to come to the main house?" She whispered out of the corner of her mouth, not wanting anyone to know about the "meeting".

Tapping his chin thoughtfully he replied, "You know, now that I think about it, he never really said. But I will call him and ask whenever we get home."

He looked into her worried eyes and she quickly put on her bright smile. "Thanks Shigure!" She bounded off towards Momiji, Kagura, Rin, Yuki, Kyo, and Haru who were all playing cards.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

They arrived at Shigure's house late in the evening. Shigure got out his key but when he turned the knob he found that the door was already open. Muttering to himself about how dumb that was, he pushed open the door. A cold stare met him and said harshly, "It's about time you got home. I have been waiting all day."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Another cliff-hanger! I just love doing this to you guys…

Anywho, here's to my reviewers!

buyokitty: I KNOW! Haha, pot of bubbling lava! Good one! But I still like my "I wish Akito would choke on a chicken bone" theory.

Dark Inu Fan: Well I included some of the gifts in this chapter, but I couldn't find a way to really work in what EVERYONE got her. Sorry! HAHA! Nope…Ayame didn't get her anything perverted, but I was considering making Shigure get her something perverted but that would have destroyed the whole plot line.

Ixilight: I love happy dances! Happy dances are a million times better than sad ones! (no, I'm not really that dumb!)

So thanks everyone for your support and keep reviewing! Oh and if you are wondering about the (1.) I left beside one of the sentences, it means author's not at bottom.

(1.) I couldn't remember whether or not Rin and Haru had gotten back together so I just made it this way. Personally, prefer Tohru/Haru pairing 'cause I'm weird like that! But that doesn't mean that that is who she is going to end up with! But here are the three choices… Yuki (that's a given), Kyo (another given), or Haru.

So tune in next time to see who is awaiting the return of Tohru and gang!
