A/N: Chapter 10 is OUT! Whoop! -throws party-

"Y-yukiiiii!" Shigure fake-sobbed to the annoyed Rat. Yuki just rolled his eyes and moved on. "Waaaiiiit! I want to know where Kisa-chan is! She's disappeared!"

"Huh? Kisa's gone?" Yuki wondered aloud, wide-eyed. "Does ANYONE know where she went?"

"Well...Tohru-kun may know...but I need a favor from you! And if you're smart, you might be able to benefit from the experience..." Shigure replied slyly, a dangerous glint in his dark orbs. Yuki eyed him suspiciously.

"I'm not sure I WANT to know what you have planned."

"Awww...but c'mon, Yuki...you've gotta help me..." the Dog whimpered. He did his best puppy dog eyes. And...all of the sudden...

THEY WORKED! Shigure discovered that he had...MAGICAL PUPPY DOG EYE

POWERS!

(Author's Note: Oh Em Gee! XD I wasn't even planning on writing this, but all of the sudden, it popped into my head! But anyways...)

"Yeeeesss...Shigure-sama..." Yuki replied, sticking his white, thin arms out in front of

him like in one of those cheesy horror zombie movies. Shigure, for once, was shocked, and just stood and stared, bug-eyed.

"Yuki...kun...?" he stared, but then a smirk spread wide across his face. "Hey, Aaya!

Look at this!" he shouted, motioning for the Snake to join him.

"What is it, Gure-san? My company beckons..." the Drama King drawled happily as he

glided gracefully across the beautiful ice.

"Just watch, dear Aaya." Shigure then cleared his throat and spoke clearly.

"Yuki-kun! Go hug Aaya! Now! Help your brotherly bonding..." he commanded,

winking at a puzzled Ayame, who obviously wondered what was going on. His answer came quickly.

"Yes...Shigure-sama..." Yuki drawled back, and then went over to Ayame. He flung his

arms around the normally collected and obnoxious brother. "Nii-san, I think we should very much strengthen our bond. It means much to you and Shigure-sama and I."

Shigure smirked triumphantly, and Ayame's face lit up. He, of course, laughed grandly.

"Of course, dear brother! Our brotherly bond shall be renewed!" Ayame was about to drag Yuki away, but Shigure intercepted.

"You can't have him yet! I have a plan..." he then whispered into the Snake's ear, and a

huge smile broke out on both of their faces.

"This will be interesting, Gure-san. When do you plan to carry this out?" Ayame

questioned.

"As soon as possible. I just have to find our flower first..." Ayame agreed and set out to find the Onigiri.

"Oh, here is the beautiful Flower!" Tohru blushed a deep red. "Dear Yuki-kun wants to talk to you! I wonder what he wants to say…." He gave her a wink, and Tohru's blush deepened. But Ayame wasn't done. "He tells me this because he LOVES me! Our bonding is finally taking place! Isn't that grand?"

"Yes, Ayame-san, that's wonderful! I hope it continues…" Tohru kept going on about how good and dandy it was until Ayame led her over to where Zombie-Yuki was.

"Yes, Yuki-kun, you wanted to see me? What is it? But I'm so glad that you and Ayame-san are getting along now!" She exclaimed, cheerfully. Yuki just nodded and cast her an empty, undead-like smile.

(A/N: I'm really using that zombie thing a lot, aren't I! xD)

Tohru seemed a bit worried; she was used to the big, bright smiles of Yuki, but she quickly forgot about that because the Rat spoke again.

"Well, I'll tell you once you come with me…." He trailed. Tohru just smiled and nodded politely, and then followed.

"Where are we going, Yuki-kun?"

"You'll see…."

He led her through the ice until they came upon some thick snow. "Here we are. I wanted to ask you a question. Have you seen Kisa?"

"Ah, yes! She…well….she wasn't feeling very good, so Hatori-san and Hiro-san took her home. Why?" But Yuki didn't answer her directly.

"That can't be the reason. What really happened to her, hmm?" he pried, walking closer to the girl.

"Uh, well. Um…I can't really tell you. I'm sorry. I wish I could, but I don't feel it would be right….."

"C'mon, Tohru-kun, you can surely tell me anything…" Yuki replied, keeping cool and collected, while Tohru just stared in genuine shock.

'Did he just call me TOHRU! That's so unlike him…and he's getting so close to me….I don't think this is okay. He doesn't seem like himself….! Maybe Yuki-kun is sick too! I should ask him.'

"Yuki-kun, are you feeling alright?"

"What makes you say that?"

"Well, you don't normally call me Tohru, and….well….I don't know…."

"Is it a bad thing?" he retorted, moving so that they were almost touching, but not enough to transform. In the background, you could see Shigure sniggering at the girl and the controlled boy.

"N-no…it's just…odd for you…." Tohru was now tomato red from ear to ear.

"So….Tohru-kun….what happened to Kisa?" his face was now UBER close to hers.

"Uh…A MAN GAVE HER ALCHOHOL!" she nearly yelled out of panic, but Yuki put a thin finger to her lips.

"Shh…thank you." And with that, he walked off towards the Dog, leaving Tohru shocked.

'Oh, no! I told someone! No body should of known that…I don't think it'd be right…'

(A/N: So I DID get to add some romantic fluff in there. Ya know, completely unmanga-listic stuff (for now) for once. xD Rock on!)

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Are you serious! Drunk! Ehehehe…that's so funny. Thanks, Yuki-kun!" Shigure and Ayame laughed, tears rolling down Shigure's cheeks.

"Hey, Gure-san."

"Yes, Aaya?"

"When does this control thing wear off of him?"

"Uhh….."

"…….."

"This could be a problem."
