It was early evening, when Shigure stated running around the house, trying to think of an escape route. He had forgotten about the novelist meeting, so he had forgotten to plan an escape. Mitchan would be there any second. He didn't even have time to run to Hatori's or Ayame's. He decided to call in sick, when a desperate voice called out, "Sensei, time to go to the meeting." In a last attempt to escape, Shigure went to the back door.
Standing in his way was Mitchan, her arms reached out to throttle him, in case he tried anything. Suddenly two burly men appeared on each side of Mitchan. They each grabbed an arm and started to drag him to the waiting car. "Tohru!" Shigure wailed. "Help me. Help…" The car door slammed and the car drove away.
Tohru stuck her head out of her bedroom door. "Did someone call me?" She shrugged, and then popped back into her room to finish her homework.
Downstairs, Yuki came back from the secret base, and looked at the clock. At least he remembered Shigure had a meeting, so he wasn't worried when he noticed the silence. The phone rang; Yuki answered "Sohmas."
"Yun-Yun!" Kakeru Manabe's voice was loud and energetic. "Please come down to the school for an emergency meeting. We came across a couple problems that I'm sure you can fix."
Yuki sighed, "I'll be down there in a few minutes."
"Great!" Manabe exclaimed, "We'll be waiting."
Yuki hung up the phone, walked upstairs, and knocked on Tohru's door "Honda-san are you in there?"
Tohru opened the door and smiled "Yes Yuki, do you need something?"
"Ah no. Honda-san I'm sorry but I have to go to a meeting at school. I'm sorry for leaving you here alone."
"Eh…" Tohru started.
"Don't be." Kyo appeared behind Yuki. "I have nothing to do, so I can stick around."
"Oh Kyo, that's very kind but you don't have to." Tohru stepped forward.
"No, its okay." Kyo grumbled. Yuki gave Kyo a death glare as he walked away and out the door.
"Thank you Kyo. That's so nice of you to stay." Tohru beamed up at Kyo.
Kyo started to blush. "Whatever, I'll just be on the roof if you need anything." He took a step as if to leave.
"Oh." Tohru's expression saddened. "I was hoping we could play Rich Man Poor Man, or something." Her eyes pleaded: "please say yes."
Kyo hesitated. He could never say no to Tohru, but he felt so awkward trying to answer. He switched the subject "don't you have to finish the laundry?"
"It can wait. The game doesn't take that long." Tohru showed a small smile.
Kyo looked into her big brown eyes. "Ok, one game."
Tohru happily grabbed Kyo's hand and lead him down stairs. "One game." She promised.
