Oh my..I'm getting death threats already TT. Yes I quit on the suspense moments on purpose, keeps people reading I guess that or to lazy to finish and want to quit writing.


Yuki followed behind as they ran into the water. The was was a luke warm, but still a little cold for comfort. Bending her knees Tohru knelt into the sand that squished between her toes under the weight. "Its a lot betting once you get used to it," she pointed out to Yuki you stood there looking at the water cautiously. Suddenly a wave and splashing neared them. Turning the saw Kagura pulling Kyo ruthlessly by the arm, grinning as she waded over to them.

"Awwwwh, c'mon Yuki, the water is great, come play," she whined. Not giving him a change she dropped Kyo who immediently sunk under the water, flailing his arms till he regained his footing, coughing and sputering. Kagura waded over to Yuki. He watched her skeptically before stumbling back as she tackled him into the water. The wave knocked Tohru backwards and she felt the warm flesh against her chest. She looked up to see the disgusted look annoyance just before a loud poof and orange gas filled the air.

Yuki and Kagura surface from the water. Yuki mopped his hair back from his eyes as he rubbed the water from them. A loud screech filled the air as the orange cat waved its arms trying to stay afloat. Kagura rushed over to him scooping him up and slung him over her shoulder holding him tightly as he panted. His eyes were wide with fright and Tohru believed he didn't care at the moment that it was Kagura had him. After recovering he turned his gaze to her, "What the hell is your problem?" he yelled.

"I..I didn't mean to! I'm sooo sorry!" she pleaded closing her eyes in frustration.

"Psh whatever. Someone get my pants."


Ritsu and his mother walked down the street, they weren't talking. Ritsu felt bad that his mother always had to apologize for him. He had his hair tied back and was wearing a pink blouse and khaki pants. A screetch sounded through the air, the two looked to see a huge house, behind it was a lake, whichthree people were visible and a cat. Shigure rounded the house holding some paper and pencil not aware of the two. "Shigure! hello, I...I'm sorry I'm not interrupting anything, am I?" he added quickly.

"Oh no, not at all. How are you Ritsu and you ma'am?" (i don't know her name)

"Fine, just fine. We are just taking a walk," Ritsu said uneasily, "I see your writing, do you need any jelly buns to get your creativity flowing again, 'cause I can go get some, really I can. I don't mind."

"Well...I really shouldn't , but since you insist go ahead!" he said smiling from ear to ear.

"We'd be happy too, we will return in a bit, as fast as we can!" the elderly lady said as she pulled her son by the arm down the street. Ritsu looked back to see Shigure waving before looking at the water. He saw a brown hair girl. Kagura? no Kagura was holding Kyo. Tohru is back? he thought till his sight was blocked from veiw by a tree. They stopped running when they reached town. "I'll go get them, mother," Ritsu said prying his arm away from her. Stepping on the black mat he walked through the door. Could air surrounded him and he shivered a bit, turning he felt someone bump against.him.Oh no, I'm going to change! why can't I do anything right? I'm so worthless! A lowlife!.

After a second he noticed he was still himself. Looking up he saw a man about fourty. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to hit you, now I got all your food on the ground. I"M SO SORRRRY!" He siad dropping to his knees grabbing everytihng and stacking them neatly into the bag.

"Oh..no its okay, I wasn't pay attention to where I was going," the man stuttered surprised by the outburst.

"No, no it was my fault, here you go, let me get the door for you," He said handing him the bag and rushing over and stepped on the black mat so the doors would open.

"Er...thank you," the man said and left.

Ritsu sighed in relief and noticed everyone was staring at him. Blushing he turned and walked down an aisle. Just as he did so he heard a woman at the register say to her customer "What a nice girl."

Looking away ashamed he turned to them, not making eye contact. "um..I was wonder, if you could. I mean if its not to much trouble, tell me where the jelly buns are."

"Oh I'm sorry, dear, we don't have any," she said in an apologetic tone.

"Oh...thank you," he said and walked out. He saw his mother sitting on a bench nearby.

"Did you get them?"

"No,they didn't have any, I'm sorry."

"Oh! HOW WILL WE GET THEM TO SHIGURE? WE'RE FAILURES!" She said smacking her hands to her cheeks.

"I think there are some jellie buns at the main house,"

"Yes! You're right! My cousin, the cook, has some, c'mon lets go!" She said grabbing his wrist pulling him..well practically dragging him to the house. They made it there in a very small time and Ritsu believed it was because of his mother's determination to get the buns for Shigure. They entered through the gate and continued on there way.

"Mother, I saw Tohru with Yuki and the others while we were with Shigure."

"Tohru? Oh yes that sweet girl. I thought she left. C'mon, Ritsu, its this way," she said as they walked off. A small white bird flew over their heads. it flew over to a window onto the arm of a dark smiling figure that was leaning lazily out the window.


The four youths sat in the grass of a small hill by the house. The breeze wipped their hear around the frame's of their faces. They wore their summer kimonos. It was a nice night, not to hot not to cold. Lightning bugs swarmed around them, but at a safe distance. Standing on the deck, jelly was smeared around his face. "Are you guys going to sleep out there or come in?" he called out to them.

All turning Kagura grinned "Yeah! it will be like camping only without the camp and we are in the backyard." Shigure nodded and went back inside.

"Ah this is a strupid idea," Kyo commented leaning back on his arms.

"Oh Kyo your so meann," Kagura whined.

"I think its a good idea. It sounds fun!" Tohru said smiling which causeKagura to stop.

"Yes, a fine idea," Yuki added.

They all laid back in the grass and stared up at the black sky decorated with stars. Tohru gasped as one shot a cross the sky. "A shooting star! Hurry make a wish," she exclaimed slamming her eyelids shut before she could even check if the others were listening to her.

I wish I could stay with the Sohmas forever.
