A/N: Yay, another chapter done and over. I'm just warning you ahead of time that this chapter might not be as good as the other ones, because I got sucked dry of ideas. This week has been really busy, but Tora-chan never gives up. I promised myself I would update, so here it is guys chapter six.

Chapter 6
Let's Go Shopping

Kaiya sat there still frozen to her seat in Hatori's office. All the color seemed to leave her face at the very sound of Akito's name.

"A…Akito?" Kaiya stuttered.

"Are you all right?" Hatori asked, noticing her pale complexion.

"I have to get going now." Kaiya said looking at her watch, and suddenly began to leave her chair. She got up and headed to the door; as she did Hatori just seem to mutter something.

"Just remember what I told you."

Kaiya left Hatori's office and began to head in the direction of the front gate. As she walked she kept getting the feeling that someone was watching her. Little did she know, someone was watching her. Kaiya returned to Shigure's house about ten minutes later.

"Hello, I'm home." She called.

"Welcome back, it's a little late isn't it?" Shigure asked as he sat there writing something.

"Yeah, well Hatori kept me a little late." Kaiya said and gave a big yawn, "I'm going to bed." She left and went upstairs.

The next day Kaiya was awoken by a familiar voice.

"Wake up you sleepy head." The voice muttered, "Come on, you act just like Yuki does in the morning."

"Uh," Kaiya mumbled as she sat up a rubbed her eyes, "Kagura what are you doing here?"

"Silly, I've come to take you and Tohru out shopping today."

"Really?"

"Yeah, so hurry up and get dressed."

Kaiya got dressed and was greeted downstairs by the sound of Kyo's complaints.

"Dammit woman! I thought I told you to stay away from me!" Kyo screamed as Kagura tried to hug him.

"Oh, don't worry darling, we'll only be gone for a couple of hours." Kagura said.

"I'm ready," Kaiya said descending the staircase, "come on Tohru."

"Oh, I really have a lot of work to do, but you go on ahead." Tohru said.

"Nonsense, you're coming with." Kaiya said pulling Tohru by the hand and began dragging her out the door.

"We'll be back soon." Kagura squealed, "I love you Kyo."

Kaiya, Kagura, and Tohru walked along outside.

"Sorry to take you from you work Tohru." Kaiya started to say, "but I thought it would be nice to get out for awhile." Kaiya and Tohru just stood and looked at each other.

"Are you two slow pokes coming or not?" Kagura said.

The three of them made their way around to all the little shops around the area. They were looking for stuff for the upcoming Hanami (ritual for watching cherry blossoms) festival occurring in two weeks. The last place the ended up was Ayame's shop. Tohru and Kagura entered first.

"Hello" Kagura said opening the door.

"Ah, Kagura how nice of you to come," Ayame said walking in from the back room, "oh and I see you brought Tohru with you and no Yuki I see."

"Uh-huh, and look who else I brought." Kagura said pulling Kaiya forward so that she was all the way in the shop.

"Kaiya!" Ayame exclaimed, "My favorite model is back."

"Hi, it's been a long time, hasn't it Ayame?"

"Well," He said taking her hands and seeming to look at her from head to toe, "I haven't seen you since you were a child."

"I don't think anyone has?" Kaiya questioned.

"Come, come sit down." Ayame said directing the girls to a coach, "So what can I do for you young ladies this fine day?"

"Well, "Kaiya and Kagura said together.

"We were wondering if you could help us create some outfits for the cherry blossom festival taking place in two weeks." Kaiya asked.

"Well," Ayame said, "it will take a lot of work, but it could be done. Mine come quickly."

Mine came rushing in from the back wearing another one of her favorite "Ayame" creations.

"Yes, what can I do for you?" She asked him.

"Would you please escort these lovely ladies to the back and get their measurements." He said directing his attention towards the girls.

"All righty." Mine led the girls to the back. About ten minutes later they left the shop, hoping that their outfits would be done in time.

"Wow, its getting late." Kaiya said once again looking at her watch, "and we have school tomorrow."

"Well I really would like to see Kyo-kun before I leave, but I really should get going." Kagura said, "It was nice to see you again Kai-chan."

"You too, Kagura." Both girls ended the day with a hug.

"Bye Tohru." Kagura waved as she scampered off towards the main house.

"Good-bye Kagura" Tohru said after her.

After waving good-bye to Kagura, Kaiya and Tohru returned home.

"Ah, there you two are." Shigure said greeting them at the door, "I was getting worried you two wouldn't be back I in time to make dinner."

"Oh, right dinner; I'll get started right away." Tohru said rushing into the kitchen.

"I'll help too." Kaiya said walking into the kitchen.

"You don't have to put yourself through the trouble." Tohru said.

"Are you sure?"

"Positive"

"In that case, I'll go look for Yuki. I haven't really had a chance to talk to him since I came" Kaiya said starting to leave the kitchen.

"He's probably out by his secret base." Tohru said dishing up some rice.

Kaiya nodded her head in response. She slipped on her shoes at the front door and headed out towards Yuki's secret base. Kaiya thought she was about lost, when she noticed a figure bent down in the clearing in front of her.

"Yuki?" Kaiya said.

"Uh, hello Kaiya." Yuki said. "I was just getting ready to leave."

"So this is where to like to hide out, huh?" Kaiya said bending down as she looked at the different plants.

"Well, I guess you could say it gives me peace of mind." Yuki said, "Oh, I almost forgot to pick some leeks for dinner."

"Oh?" Kaiya said, "Kyo won't like that very much."

"You probably hate leeks just as much as you brother."

"Oh, no in fact I love leeks." Kaiya said taking hold of Yuki's hand.
