Disclaimer: Heh heh, forget to add this in the last chapter sweat drop Anywho, I do not own Furuba/Fruits Basket nor the characters. Though I wish do, I don't. So Im gonna go cry in my dark corner now... sob

Note: Yeah, my chapters are short. But that's because I hate having to write for hours at a time and plus, the shorter the chapters are, the more you have, which makes you look smart. wink

Shigure picked at his food and his thoughts trailed back to the ribbon he was looking at earlier. He shook his head and scolded himself.

"That's past. I need to forget it..."

He looked out the window and watched a woman walk past, if one were to look closely they could see drool forming at the side of his mouth.

It was late December and snow drifted lightly to the ground covering the streets in fluffy cold powder. The people walking on the streets wore heavy coats and long scarfs to keep themselves warm from the bitter cold that came every year.

Standing up, Shigure set his money on the table and wrapped his scarf around his neck. Shivering a bit when he stepped outside he lifted his sleeve to look at his watch.

"Only eight, I have some time to kill before going home..."

Walking down the side walk it wasn't long until Shigure stopped at the book store he often visited, both to buy books for himself and to feel extremely proud while looking at his own published books sitting on the shelves.

Stepping into the store, he walked to the isle least likely for a man to go too. The romance section. But Shigure was no ordinary man, he was a perverted man.

He pulled out a few books and flipped through the pages. Deciding he liked them all he carried them over to the front counter and waited for the clerk to show up.

The store was considerably empty. There were a few other people in the isles, but he didn't recognize them. But he noticed a woman with her back turned to him with shoulder length red hair. She wore a pair of light jeans and smokey grey coat that went past her rear and had a fuzzy black scarf hung loosely around her neck.

He cocked his head at her for a bit trying to remember if he had seen her before. The red hair seemed awfully familiar.

The woman turned around and stared at Shigure with wide eyes. He stared back quite as shocked as she was.

"...Shigure...?"
