Uwaaaahhhh! I'm sooooooo sorry for the wait! The family computer developed a hatred for fanfiction, so I could not even update without the screen freezing. But a combined Graduation/ Birthday present resulted in the birth of my beautiful new laptop! So, I've been able to go on fanfiction and write! YAY! So, I've been able to update my most popular story now! ((Hmmm ... or was 'Kyo the Left-Out Sohma' more popular?)) Anyway ... here you go!

Disclaimer: I dun own anything.

"Hm ... a name. We will need one of those, won't we?" Shinji stroked his chin, deep in thought. "Any suggestions?"

"Daisy!" Yutaro shouted, running to hug Shigure.

'Oh, please, God no!' Shigure whimpered.

"Yutaro, it's a boy dog!" Shinji laughed.

"We should name him Sparky!" Takashi crowed.

"Oh, that's no name for such a lazy-looking dog!" Minako giggled, scratching Shigure's ears.

'How rude! I'm not that lazy!' Shigure glared at Minako, but couldn't resist her magic scratches.

"What about Midnight? He does have a very dark color to him." Shinji mused.

'Hmmm, that does seem to be the most masculine of the names. I guess I'll take it.' Shigure opened his mouth and let out a happy bark, a sign that he accepted the new name, for the time being.

"Oh, well, Muffin it is!" Shinji chuckled.

'What? No! Midnight! Not Muffin! Midnight!' Shigure barked, finally realizing his mistake. While he was contemplating taking the name 'Midnight', The younger of the two boys had suggested 'Muffin. 'Arrgh!" he howled, realizing he accidentally accepted 'Muffin.'

"Heehee, come along now, Muffin. I'll show you your new home." Minako chirped, daintily leading Shigure by his leash.

Shigure whimpered, 'Oh no! They're serious!' he pulled against the leash, trying to run the other way. The leash slipped right through Minako's idle fingers.

"Uh oh! Shinji, get him! I lost the leash!" she cried.

Shigure, seeing his chance to escape, bolted towards the fence.

"Get the puppy, Daddy! He's getting away!" Yutaro screamed, running after his frantic father.

'You'll never take me alive!' Shigure barked, the fence approaching quickly. He bounded over the fence effortlessly, leaving Shinji to smack into the wall.

"Honey, are you all right?" Minako called.

Shigure ran through the streets, taking random turns and unfamiliar streets for the fear that Shinji would follow him. When he finally felt safe, Shigure collapsed on the sidewalk, completely exhausted. 'I - I think I lost them.' he panted.

"Oh! What a cute puppy!" a little girl passing by squealed.

"Hey, stay away from strays, Emiko!" the little girl's mother chided.

Shigure was far too tired to argue. He took in his surroundings once he caught his breath. Nothing looked familiar. Shigure rose to his feet, all four of them and mumbled to himself, 'Maybe if walk around a little I'll recognize something.' He wandered around for what felt like hours ((although it had only been about twenty minutes)) and nothing even looked remotely familiar. In the heat of the moment, he had not bothered to watch where he was going. With a sigh, he settled himself under a bush in a near-by park, 'Well, someone is bound to realize I'm gone. They'll come find me.' he sighed, treating himself to another nap.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

"Does anyone know where Shigure-san is?" Tohru asked as she began to prepare the night's dinner.

"Who knows where that weirdo spends his time." Kyo muttered as he peeled potatoes.

"He just comes and goes as he pleases, he turn up sooner or later." Yuki said as he came into the room.

"I'm starting to worry." Tohru looked down worriedly, "I hope he's alright."

"I'm sure that wherever he is, he's fine. He can take care of himself." Yuki smiled reassuringly.

"Well, if you're sure ..." Tohru trailed off.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

When Shigure woke up, it was dark out. "Ah ... my head." he mumbled rubbing the side of his head. "Note to self, never sleep under a bush again." he yawned and tried to rub he sleep out of his eyes. He opened his eyes and expected to see his furry black paw when he saw flesh. "I'm human again!" he shouted out with glee. "Yes!" he could finally use a payphone and get those good-for-nothing boys to pick him up. He began to rise to his feet, but quickly dropped back down. 'Crap!' he moaned mentally, 'I'm naked!'

Dun Dun Duuun! Oh no! What will Shii-chan do now? Sorry if this chapter was a little short, I wrote it in about an hour ... hopefully you couldn't tell! So what'd you think?
