DISCLAIMER: I don't own Gravitation but maybe I'll get lucky someday and buy it from Mira Murakami

"Yeah…Well, you see, I need it by Saturday. No later." Yuki paced around the living room while talking on the phone to his older sister, Mika. "No I can't go up there to get it, I have to stay here…personal matters." He sighed and fell back on the couch.

"Can you please just bring it here…Or mail it?" He suggested.

"I really don't understand why you need it." Mika sighed on the other end. And by the way she said it, you could tell she was rolling her eyes, "Why can't you borrow one from someone else?"

"Because you're the only one that I know that owns a French maid's uniform" Yuki admitted, "I just need it for a week."

"But why?" Mika asked completely bewildered by Yuki's odd request, "If it's some weird sex game you and Shuichi have planned then I don't want anything of mine involved."

"No…It's for Tatsuha." Yuki rolled his eyes, but gave second thoughts to what she said, "It can't be weird than what you do with Tohma in it." He muttered.

"What was that, you little punk!" Mika screamed.

"I'll send you pictures of Tatsuha in it!" Yuki screamed back, "Just bring it here by Saturday…Or get here somehow. OK?" He didn't wait for an answer and just hung up and went into the kitchen to get something to snack on. He walked past the table to the refrigerator and stopped in his tracks. He turned his head slowly back towards the table at a girl sitting in one of the chairs munching on an apple and looking straight at him.

He paused and turned the rest of his body towards her so that he was completely facing her, "Who are you?" he asked bluntly, wanting to know why the girl was sitting in his kitchen, eating one of his apples.

"Uh-" She was a bit taken aback but the sudden question and tried to sort through her thoughts to answer. Yuki answered before she did though.

"Oh yeah, You're the other Shindou." He nodded.

"Maiko…My name's Maiko." She said, a bit disappointed that he'd forgotten her name.

"Yeah…Sorry about that." He turned to continue his way to his fridge, "You're a lot quieter than either of our brothers." Maiko giggled. "You want anything to eat." Yuki offered pulling out a carton of eggs.

"No," She pointed to the apple, "I'm fine." Yuki shrugged and proceeded to heat up a frying pan to make a couple fried eggs.

"So why'd you need a French maid's dress?" Maiko asked after a few moments of silence.

"Tatsuha's always wanted to prance around in one." He lied and slid the eggs on a plate and turned to carry it to the table. He grabbed a fork on his way and sat down across from her, "Your brother gets it afterwards," He winked.

Maiko wrinkled her nose and set the apple down, "I didn't want to know that." She admitted.

Yuki shrugged and shoved half an egg in his mouth, "I didn't say anything…You used your imagination for the rest."

"Ok…" Maiko took a bite out of the apple, "Could you not mention anything suggestive at all then. I mean, I don't say anything about your brother …sexually…around you…"

Yuki raised his eyebrows at her. "What I mean," She continued, "Is that I don't want to hear, or hear anything relating, about what you stick in my brother's ass and what he's wearing , or not wearing, when you do it." She got up and tossed the apple core in the garbage.

They stood at attention. All three of them in order from height: Hiro, then Shuichi, and last, Suguru. K paced back in forth in front of them, giving an end of the day speech. "Good work today, Men!" He stated loudly, "You got a lot of work done. I expect you to be here again tomorrow at 0800 hours. The deadline is coming up and there's still a lot of work to do."

"We can't stay as late tomorrow though, because I-" Suguru froze in mid-sentence when he found himself staring down the barrel of a 12 gauge shotgun, at which K was on the other end. He stood there for a moment with a loss for words before he finally managed to stutter out, "I h-have a…date" He said the last part quietly.

"What?" Shuichi and Hiro both responded the same way at the same time. Shuichi turned to face his and Hiro leaned forward in order to see around Shuichi.

"Aw…Our little pianist is growing up." Hiro said it like he was a mother referring to his babies first steps.

"Keyboardist." Suguru corrected him.

"Same thing." He shrugged.

"No it's not." Shuichi and Suguru both said at the same time.

"So what's her name?" Shuichi asked looking back at Suguru. Before he could answer Hiro hit him with another question.

"How old is she?"

"Where's she from?"

"Is she hot?" Suguru got ready to answer again as the other two got ready to ask more questions but were stopped by minor heart attacks from a loud Bang! They turned around to look at the wall a few feet behind them. There was a quarter sized hole in the middle of it with hundreds of tiny holes going around the bigger one in random spots.

"You three done yet?" They all turned to face K who held the shot gun still aimed at them. It was so close to Shuichi that he could feel the heat that was still coming off the barrel.

"Wait a minute!" Shuichi said excitedly, "That type of gun can only hold one shell at a time and I doubt you already loaded it after that shot…Which means that there are no bullets!" He smiled at his one 'smart moment' of the day.

"How do you know this?" Hiro gaped at him.

"Long story…" Shuichi blushed, "Anyway, point blank, K can't hurt us with that thing at the moment so let's go." He took a step off to the side and around the gun, but didn't make it very far before K hit him upside the head with the gun and Shuichi fell to the ground. He looked up at K and screamed "What the hell was that for!"

K stared down at the small pink boy and there was a loud click and Shuichi looked down by his knees as an empty shotgun shell rolled to a stop next to him. He looked back up at K and, without breaking the gaze, K pulled out a new shell and slid it in to load the gun. There was another click as the slide was locked in place. He pointed the gun down at Shuichi and stayed there for a few moments, staring down the innocent teen. Hiro and Suguru didn't dare move.

"Nice dramatic effect, huh!" K lowered the gun and bean laughing hysterically.

"You-" Shuichi glared at him and started to jump up but K yelled that they were dismissed and Suguru and Hiro hurried past him, grabbing each arm and dragging him out of the room.

"He can't shoot us with that thing!" Shuichi protested, trying to break free from the other two, "People use those guns to take down animals like Elk, and Deer, and in some places even Elephants!"

"Doesn't matter." Hiro said dragging his friend down the hall with ease, "We're out now, aren't we?"

"I guess." Shuichi folded his arms as best he could and went ahead and let them drag him along towards the elevators.

"Hey, look!" Shuichi made a failed attempt to point in front of him, which happened to be behind the other two, "It's Ryuichi!" The other two stopped and set Shuichi up on his feet and turned around to see Ryuichi walking down the hall humming to himself and cuddling Kumagoro.

"Hey, Ryuichi!" Hiro waved him down. Ryuichi snapped back to reality and stared at the three people in front of him before taking a slow jog towards them.

"Did you talk to Tatsuha?" Suguru asked when he got up to them. Ryuichi nodded.

"Did you find out what's wrong with him and Yuki?" Shuichi interrogated further. Again, Ryuichi nodded.

"So…" Hiro waved his hand trying to let Ryuichi know that he could talk at any moment.

"I know a seeeeecret!" Ryuichi sang and spun around.

"Well can you tell us?" Shuichi urged becoming impatient.

Ryuichi held out his hand, "20,000 yen from each of you." The other three raised their eyebrows.

"Forget that." Suguru said, almost laughing, and turned to get on the elevator and leave.

"Hey!" Shuichi shouted at him, "I need to know what's going on! You can't spare just a little money for my sake?"

"Calm down," Hiro said resting his hand on his friends shoulder, "We'll both pay 30,000 and mug the punk tomorrow." He reached for his wallet and pulled out two slips of paper, one that had a '1000' writing in every corner and another that had '20,000'. Shuichi sighed and did the same and they handed their money over to Ryuichi.

Ryuichi nodded as he thumbed through the money making sure it was a total of 60,000¥ . He looked up at the other two who were waiting impatiently to hear his secret. He sighed and stuck the money in his pocket, which was now growing a respectable size, and held Kumagoro firmly in his grasp.

"Well…" He began. The other two leaned forward to make sure they could hear him well. "KUMA-BEAM ATTACK!" Ryuichi screamed and the other two didn't realize what happened until there was a pink bunny in their faces that slowly fell to the ground and Ryuichi was already at the other end of the hall running away.

"Hey!" Shuichi started to run after him, but was stopped by Hiro grabbing his wrist, "Hiro! What are you doing! I have to catch him! He just took our money!"

"No you don't." Hiro shook his head and bent down, "We'll get the money back."

"Not if we don't catch him now!" Shuichi urged and tried to pull away from Hiro's hand.

"But we have Kumagoro." Hiro smiled and held the bunny up. Shuichi stared at the bunny for a moment before everything registered inside his head.

"Oh." He said simply.

"Exactly." Hiro smirked, "Now come on." He dragged Shuichi the rest of the way towards the elevator and pushed the down button and they waited silently for the elevator doors to open up so they could go home.
