Hello there. Finally the 4th chapter. Sorry I took so long! I'm not sure but did I ever say I didn't own Fruits Baskets? Well, I don't. sigh Anyways, thank you all for reading and for saying such nice things. I hope I never fail you all, my new friends!

Chapter 4- Sleep is Good

Hatori was fully awake now. He stared at his phone in disbelief. "Did...he really...hang up on me?" Hatori couldn't believe his luck! He could go back to sleep! Oh, the beautiful sleep that he longed for, for so long! Yes! To lay down in this semi-comfortable bed and fall straight to sleep! Hatori placed his phone on the bed stand and lied down. With his back to the phone and his eyes closed, he planned to sleep for a rare whole two hours! That was four half hours! And a hundred and twenty minuets! Oh, how wonderful! Two whole hours!

Yes! Sleep! Finally!

What of Ayame?

Forget it, two hours!

What if he's in trouble?

But two hours!

What if he's hurt?

One hour and fifty-nine minuets! Please!

What if something terrible happened!

One hour and fifty-eight minuets! Stop thinking!

Ayame could be hurt and you are sleeping!

Damn it! Fine! There goes my precious one hour and fifty-seven minuets!

Hatori cures himself for getting up. He pulled on his shirt and shoes. He grabbed his keys and phone from the night stand and left to the car. Once he sat in his car he dialed Ayame.

Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring.

"Hey! It's Ayame! Sorry I could not answer my cell phone, and it's a real big shame because I don't have a house number that you can call to. Have you tried calling my shop? The number is 407- 572-7436? But after 7:30 the answer machine will pick it up so if you call after then, you won't find me there! So anyways, I'm probably off with my dear lovely brother Yuki; so why not leave me a message!"

Hatori hung up his phone and called Shigure.

"Hello...?" Shigure asked groggy.

"Shigure. It's me." Hatori said almost the equal of his friend's grogginess.

"Oh! Tori-san!" He said, suddenly awake. "For what do I owe the pleasure...at midnight?"

"Where is he?" Hatori asked as he rubbed his eyes and just noticed that he had shadows under them.

"Who?"

"Who else!" Hatori barked. "Him!"

"Oh! Aya!" Shigure giggled. "He left here about half an hour ago. Why?"

Hatori hesitated, due to a yawn. "Mm...He called about five minuets ago. But he just hung up. He didn't wait to say hello."

"Hum...I'll call him back." Shigure said, slightly worried. "He has been acting really weird today."

"Call me back as soon as you hear from him." Hatori hung up his cell phone and rested his head against the head rest. He dropped his phone on the passenger seat and closed his eyes.

His phone rang a minuets later and he answered. "Yes?"

"He didn't answer." Shigure said concerned.

"Alright." Hatori started his car and got ready to drive to Ayame's shop. "Do you want me to come and get you?"

"No, I need to get dressed. Go to him and call me with what ever happened. I'll be their as soon as I can." He hung up.

Hatori hung up his phone and began his way to Ayame's shop.

Hi! Alright, I know this chapter is short, but I am in such a hurry to get this updated. I'm sorry it was out of character, I have like 2 more seconds before I'm kicked off! Anyways, I hoped you liked it! Oh! And by the way, the number that is typed down, it's not a real number so don't try to call it, you'll just waste your minuets. Thanks!
