Here is Chapter 3! Please enjoy and Ayame goes along with Shigure in this chapter!

It was that afternoon and Hatori was staying home with Tohru to help her with Braille. Ayame, who was bored out of his mind, decided to follow Shigure everywhere he went.

"Oh! Are we going somewhere? Yay!" Ayame exclaimed as Shigure grabbed the car keys.

"I'm going off to Tohru's dance school to talk to Dee Dee. You probably shouldn't come."

"Why not?" Ayame whined.

"Because, you'd probably end up embarrassing Tohru."

'I'll be good, I promise!"

Shigure sighed seeing that there was no way he could win this. "Fine."

"YAY!"

At the studio……

"OK, we went up the stairs, there's a waiting room on one side, a long hall way on the other. I haveno idea what to do." Shigure said.

"Excuse me." Both Shigure and Ayame jumped to see two girls squeezing past them. Their mouths both dropped.

"I know let's follow those girls.' Ayame said.

"No, no. We're not going to go stare at their unusually long legs. Let's go.'

"Go where?"

"There's an office right there!" Shigure snapped pointing to a door.

"Right!" Shigure rolled his eyes and knocked on the door. A young woman answered. She was tall and had short brown hair with a goldish streak near the front.

"Um…Are you Dee Dee?" Shigure asked.

The woman laughed. "No, I'm Karyn. Dee Dee's right there." Karyn said pointing to an older woman sitting behind a desk. Dee Dee had short black hair and tan skin. She was very pretty.

"Hello." Dee Dee said looking up and smiling at them.

'Hi. I'm Shigure Sohma we spoke on the phone earlier." Shigure said holding out his hand. Dee Dee shook it.

'Right, about Tohru. What can I do for you and you're friend?"

"Well, we were wondering if we could find out more about Tohru. How seriously she took dancing."

"Well Tohru was a student teacher last year, and she choreographed some of the dances last year. She also worked with little kids."

"What about competing?" Ayame piped in.

"Well, if you want to see what kind of a level she was in I can show you. The group that she's usually with is practicing right now."

"OK.' Shigure said. Dee Dee stood up from her seat and lead them down a hall to a large room. It was there that they heard the loud music. She went through the big room and pointed into a studio.

She turned around. "Sorry for the mess. The kids usually leave their duffel bags and things like that in here."

"Oh that's fine." Shigure said nearly tripping over another bag. They glanced into the studio and for the second time that day their mouths dropped. These kids were amazing. They were light on their feet, moving to the beat of the music, and just having a great time. It was a pretty fast song and they were actually keeping up with it. They couldn't believe that Tohru would be in a group like that.

A few minutes later Dee Dee lead them back into the office.

"So what did you think?'

"They were amazing! And Tohru's in that group?' Shigure exclaimed.

"Yes, Tohru could do solos that had music that was wicked fast and she could keep up with it. She really did enjoy it."

'Is she you're favorite?" Ayame asked.

Dee Dee looked at him surprised. "Not really, I like all of my students the same."

"Oh because there are those pictures….." Ayame said gesturing to about four school pictures of Tohru, a picture of her with her mom at the end of a competition, and a picture that showed her in a dance outfit smiling for the camera.

"No. In the other room, I have other pictures of my students."

'So, Kyoko was the one that got Tohru into dancing?" Shigure asked while keeping a careful watch on Ayame who had gone into the other room.

"Yes. Kyoko was one of my students as well though. Kyoko was an amazing student. Before she died, she was planning on quitting her job and becoming a dance teacher here. She always hated that job she had. I remember how excited Kyoko was when Tohru won her first dance competition. She came in first place. Ever since then she's been competing. After her mother died, I thought that she would quit dance. But instead, she said she would pay for her costumes. I would have to pay for her monthly tuition. That was how we did it. No one cared because they understood what kind of a situation Tohru was in."

"Dancing was a serious thing for her then?" Ayame said coming back in the room.

"Yes. She was extremely flexible and enjoyed getting up on stage and dancing and having a good time. It's such a shame that silly car accident had to end all that. It's too bad though. We had to take down all these posters. Tohru had won a competition for Miss Teen U.S.A. or something like that, and she was planning on going off there to compete. Someone thought she was eligible to win. Not only that but she was also going to be performing on Broadway. She was going to be in Fame and Memphis the Legend of Rock and Roll, she got the main parts for both."

Shigure's eyes practically bulged out of his head and Ayame nearly fainted when Dee Dee showed them one of the pictures of Tohru for the competition.

"Yep, she was one of the prettiest girls this guy had ever seen."

"Wait….Don't those two shows include singing?" Shigure asked.

"Yes. What's your point?" Dee Dee said.

"Tohru can't sing." Dee Dee looked at the two of them before bursting out laughing.

"What are you talking about? Tohru came out with about 5 CDs!" Dee Dee said through fits of laughter.

Yet another surprise for the two members of the Sohma family.

Cliffhanger! I hope you enjoyed it! Please review!
