I'll try to do another one later this week but I can't promise, cause my teachers have dumped a lot of homework on me this week. 'sob'

I just randomly want to draw Tatsuha in a pink apron... Something REALLY cute!

Anyway here you go...

Author's Note:

Lime Green: In the old color language of England Green means sorrow however if it was Lime Green the sorrow was derived from jealousy.

Chapter 14: A Lime Green Ribbon
Tohma had slept well the night before, even if things had been more than a little bit hectic. Even though Ryuichi had been acting extremely outrageous, Shirokawa-san didn't have any right to go off on them like that. Still, he found the whole thing more than a little amusing... even if technically it was none of his business.

"Kuma! Kuma are you here!" Ryuichi screeched as he ran down the hallways screaming.

Kuma? Oh no! Tohma hurried to his office and called home, but nobody answered. His wife had already left.

"Kuma! Kuma come home!!!" Ryuichi popped his head into Tohma's office wailing like a broken child and once again began to terrorize the hallways. "Kuma!"

"Hiro-san, Shindo-san where's my Kuma!"

Ryuichi was really a mess. A river of tears was flowing down his cheeks. The two of them tried to get him calmed down, Tohma was desperate. If he didn't get Kuma to Ryuichi soon his voice could be damaged. There was really only one place he could turn to at this point.

Yuki.

"If you've got tickets for that concert and don't want to go..."

"Tatsuha, would you please just leave me alone. I've got work to do." Yuki leaned back in his chair and studied the novel he was working on. For some reason, he just couldn't seem to get this part of the story to feel right. Perhaps it was the presence of his bumble-brained brother.

Yuki pushed himself away from his desk and grabbed the carton of cigarettes, before striding out of his home leaving a sulking Tatsuha standing there in a pretty pink apron.

"Stupid..."

That was when he noticed that the phone was ringing. He reached over and picked it up.

"Oh hello.... No he just left a few minutes ago. Is it that important? Ryu... What happened? Yeah... yeah... I'll do it! Don't worry! Oh and about the price... yeah that will do. You've got a deal!"

Tatsuha hung up the phone gently he could feel his cheeks turning pink in excitement. Ryuichi was sure to think he was the hero of his dreams after this! He ran into the kitchen and fetched the spare key that Tohma had told him about.

He went as fast as he could over to Tohma's home grabbed the bunny and began a mad dash back to the studio.

Oh, lucky day!

Why was she doing this anyway?

Narumi stared at the large building where Ryuichi worked, and continued to wonder if she was sane.

She glanced at her wrist watch that read 12:15 she still had 45 minutes left before she had to get back to work. She clinged tightly to the lunch she had made for him.

"Shirokawa-san!" She turned to see the same young woman she had seen the night before when she had completely lost it.

"Oh, hmmm... hello. You're Ryuichi-san's friend right?

"Oh I'm sorry! I didn't introduce myself last night did I? I'm Noriko. I'm a member of Nittle Grasper too. Ryuichi and I are old friends. It's a pleasure to meet…"

Narumi followed Noriko's gaze across the steps, to a man running into the building.

Kuma!

"This is going to be so great!" Tatsuha was walking along happily with more than a little spring to his step, he didn't even notice the two girls following him.

"Why that dirty thief! So he's the one that stole Kuma last night!" Narumi was more than just angry. She was sleepdeprived, irritable, and it was very obvious that she had just zeroed in on the main cause of the problems. She was more than ready to let him have it.

"Thief?"

"Kuma disappeared last night. Ryuichi-san and I were looking for it all last night."

"So you two made up?"

"Huh?" Narumi could feel the warmth rising in her cheeks as she looked away. She tried to focus on the point at hand but there was no way she could hide the blush from Noriko she was just to savy.

"I'll take that as a yes. So Eir-san's brother took Kuma huh? Well, Tatsuha-san is more than a little obsessed with your room-mate."

"That stupid jerk! He makes me so mad."

Noriko thought back to the night before and the events that had occured when a thought entered her brain, that made her inner minx come out.

"Are you talking about Kuma being stolen or the fact that Tatsuha-san attacked your roommate. That was when you paniked wasn't it."

"If you're not going to be... he's going! We gotta get Kuma back."

There was no way on earth Narumi was going to answer that question! She was mad because of Kuma's theft.

You're such a liar! Narumi ignored that thought.

"Can I ask a question?" Noriko piped in. "Why are we tailing him? Why don't we just get Kuma back and deliver it to Ryuichi. There isn't any reason for us to be hiding like this."

She was right. There wasn't any real reason to just follow him. They had to get Kuma back to Ryuichi. It was his best friend and an important momento of his mother. They had to get it back!

Narumi stood up from behind the soda machine and strode over to him. She was furious. She thought of everything that had happened and the hours of no sleep that she had suffered looking for that bunny... but worst of all her hand itched to slap him for what he had done to her new roommate.

Chapter 15: Black, Purple and Yellow
