DICLAIMER: I do not own Fruits Basket. And I never will. EVER.

Haha I just forgot to put up my disclaimers...hahaha...:hides:...lol Well...next chapter! Heehee...


Figuring it Out...

Sohma House, Hatori's Office.

"So, you say he fell?" asked Hatori while looking at Momiji's foot.

"Yes, sir!" Shigure told his friend. Hatori gave him a skeptical look."You know, this is not a laughing matter. Momiji sprained his ankle. He will not be able to dance tonight. Do you know what this means?" he asked seriously.

Shigure stared at him blankly.

"It means we will get into trouble with Akito. Unless, of course, you have another way to solve this problem?" he looked at Shigure, an eyebrow raised.

Shigure pondered thoughtfully."Hmm...I'll think of a way, I'll think of one..."

Sohma House, Outer Hallway.

"Yes, but like I said, it is a stupid anime, and that one guy is...Oh. Hello, Shigure." Hiro looked suprised to see him. Shigure eyed him. "Hello Hiro!"

He bent down lower, to the children's levels."Kisa, how have you been?"he asked sweetly. She gave him a tiny smile."Uncle Shigure! Sissy isn't here, is she?"she asked in her small, soft voice. He laughed. He couldn't help it. "Oh, Kisa, no, she isn't here. This is for Sohma family only!" She gave him another shy smile, looking dissappointed. "Oh." Shigure suddenly pushed her into his arms for a big hug, and said, "Oh, but don't worry! You have Uncle Shigure here for you! Don't worry, little Kisa!" Hiro turned red in the face, then ran up to Shigure. He kicked him in the side.

"Oh! Hiro, you are so violent! You must be related to Kyo...!" Shigure yelled. But he stopped joking, now. He began to look at Hiro, mumbling to himself...

"Hmm...about the right size, yes...same hair color...YOU'RE PERFECT!"he exclaimed suddenly. Hiro jumped back in suprise.

"Hiro, would you mind doing me a favor?"he asked. The boy eyed him suspiciously."...What kind of favor?" he asked, glaring at him.

Shigure batted his eyelashes. "Oh, Hiro! Something awful has happened! And I notice you look somewhat like Momiji, and you are about his height...and-" "Oh, no! I'm not doing it!I am NOT dancing for Momiji!" he shouted, quickly getting hushed by a terrified-looking Shigure.

Kisa turned her large eyes on him. "Hiro, please do it? If you do, I promise I'll spend more time with you! Please!" He thought it over. How could he refuse? A little moment of shame compared to a lifetime of happiness between him and his princess?"Yea, sure, I'll do it..." he mumbled.

"YES!"

Shigure looked around at everyone staring at him with odd expressions, wondering what the sudden outburst was about. He blushed. "Uh...he just told me that he read one of my books...and he said it was great! Woo-hoo!" he laughed feebily.

On their way back to Hatori's office, Hiro murmmered, "What type of books do you write, again?" Shigure smiled knowingly. "Nothing you need to worry about until you are older, dear boy!"

Hiro sighed."I'm only in elementary school, and this pervert is already giving me a reputation..."

They all went back to Hatori's room in peace.(Mostly...Hiro and Kisa payed no mind to Shigure's mindless ramblings about his smutty novels) When they got there, they tried(as quick as one can in a dress...) to teach Hiro the song and help him learn how to...eh...function in a dress.

And, even that brought a smile to Hatori's face.


Well. I just wanna say THANX! To all of the ppls who have given me reviews on this story, and to tell you that I will update soon. (Also...I will update "Time Well Spent" soon...after I finish this story, though. It's already finished! Heh."

Oh, and in case ANYONE caught this: I do realize that Kisa and Hiro had not been introduced at this point in the story... But, if they weren't there, there never would have been a story! I get to change SOME things around...so yea. Too bad...hehe...
