"Shigure's Story"

It was the last week of the holidays before they had to go back to school, Momiji who was supposed to have left a week and a half ago decided to stay due to they were expecting a new person from the Zodiac coming and Momiji who had taken a rather likening to this new person decided to stay.

It was just about lunch time in the Sohma family house and Tohru was preparing a special lunch for the new arrival of the zodiac.

"I wonder what type of animal it is." Tohru said to herself while making a different arrange of rice balls and soups.

"Tohru are you still going out with Yuki?" asked Momiji who just walked into the kitchen and grabbing a bread roll.

Tohru was shocked at this question and as far as she knew she was going out with Yuki. Tohru turned around and looked at Momiji who at this time was stuffing his face with more bread.

"Um yes of course I am why do you ask?" said Tohru putting down the tea towel which of course was her strawberry towel and if Shigure knew she was using it for wiping dishes he would start crying and throwing a tantrum.

"Well" started Momiji looking at the ground "its just he's been really upset lately and I just thought you know that you and him might not be together anymore" replied Momiji.

"Oh" said Tohru now looking at the ground, "I guess we haven't seen each other that often I didn't think much was wrong only that I cant stay in his room" replied Tohru now getting the lunch and putting it on the table.

"Oh ok it was just my thoughts don't worry about it Tohru" said Momiji picking up a freshly made rise ball and running out the kitchen.

Tohru finished setting up lunch and thought that she would go and talk to Yuki and see if he was ok but when she began to walk down the hallway she heard Momiji yelling.

"She's here, she's here" Momiji yelled and at that point Kyo came running down stairs Tohru had heard Kyo say that he had never seen this new zodiac person before.

Tohru walked to the front door and looked out, there walking along the path was a young girl about Tohru age she had Brown hair and Brown eyes, she was very beautiful and when Tohru looked at Kyo and Momiji they were both drooling at the mouth again.

"Why are you drooling at her isn't she family" asked Tohru

"No she's from a different family but she's apart of the zodiac I know its weird I will explain later" answered Momiji.

Tohru shook her head and went out the house to greet the new member of the zodiac.

"Hello im Tohru Honda" said Tohru and the girl smiled widely.

"Yes it's so nice to meet i've heard so much about you, im Emmasian" said Emmasian who shook Tohru's hand and began to walk with Tohru up to the house.

"Hi…Hi im Kyo" said Kyo to Emmasian who nodded said hello and Then hugged Momiji as they met at the Christmas party last year.

After they had lunch Shigure came running in to the kitchen with a piece of paper in his hand.

"Look, look I know your going to like this please come into the lounge room it's a chapter in my book and I personally like it" said Shigure with glee and skipping into lounge room and telling people to sit down.

"Ok what is this about?" snapped Kyo staring at Tohru who had an unusual smile upon her face.

"Its my story its about these two star struck lovers named Kyro and Shigauri" smiled Shigure picking up his book as Tohru, Emmasian, Kyo, Yuki and Momiji all looked shocked at the names in the book and Yuki for the first time in ages started laughing. Kyo was angry and yet again his vein was beginning to appear.

"Oh this should be good" said Tohru settling herself on the couch next to Yuki who didn't make eye contact with her.

"Ok, ok my muffins here is how the story goes. Once upon a time there was a guy names Shigauri he was the most handsome guy in the world and every girl wanted him especially high school girl" Shigure began to say laughing. "He was a special kid"

"Yeah very special" interrupted Kyo as Shigure then hit him on the head and the vein was beginning to throb

"Hum as I was saying he was a special kid who had special family who were cursed and well anyway the story goes on and then came along Kyro who falls madly and deeply in love with Shigauri and all Shigauri dreams come true. It started one spring much like this one and Kyro who had known Shigauri suddenly walked in on Shigauri in the shower and well the story goes on and they fell in love as I said and Kyro popped the question isn't that great" said Shigure still giggling.

"Is this supposed to represent someone?" snapped Kyo getting of his chair.

Shigure laughed and shrugged his shoulders.

"Well all the dreams that Shiguri had come true and they got married and went to the beach with a special strawberry towel" laughed Shigure.

"That's it you are really disturbed" snapped Kyo.

"Don't disturb me im disturbed enough already" giggled Shigure.

Kyo at this point had enough he grabbed Shigure by the legs and dragged Shigure towards the door, he grabbed a hold of it and started yelling.

"Don't fight it" Cried Shigure.

"Im not fighting anything im…" started Kyo.

"Loving it oh you" interrupted Shigure who was bright red and blushing at this point.

"No you dumb wit I am not" shouted Kyo finally pulling Shigure hard enough he let go of the wall.

The lounge room was left with shocked faces but at this point Yuki had just gotten up and walked away and as he walked through the door he whispered something but Tohru didn't here what it was.

"Ah Yuki" Tohru called after him but he had already turned the corner. "Yuki" she said again sighing.
