A/N: Hello everyone! I'm back! (Finally) Now I know it's been years since my last update and for that I'm sorry. It's just writers block can be a real b sometimes and I was being lazy. But I have two people to thank for giving me ideas. First desirepassion and Rebellious Pirate Mayhem! Thanks you two, and you practically wrote this chappy for me desirepassion, I just wish I could reply back to you! I also want to thank Egyptian goddess Sahara for the advice. Anyway I won't talk any longer well… type. Gomen for taking so long!

(Previously)

'Yuki hasn't come out his room since this morning. I wonder how Ayame feels about this. Neither one of them have talked to each other since Ayame got here. I hope Yuki gets used to Ayame being here…or things won't be the same around here anymore.' Tohru began to cook for everyone, now making more than the usual amount considering that she had one more mouth to feed. Not that she minded; Tohru loved to cook.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1 week later)

By some odd miracle Shigure's house had still been standing. It's been a very long week for everyone who lived there. Ayame and Yuki still haven't talked to each other. Tohru, Shigure, and even Kyo had tried to get them to talk to each other, but to their dismay it wasn't working. Since everyone was in the house Yuki knew very well what everyone was trying to do and he wasn't going to fall for it at all. Ayame would make some attempts as well but he failed which was no surprise to everyone else. Ayame was now ready to leave the house. He couldn't take the distance between them even though they were so close. He even asked Hatori to talk to Akito for him, but for some odd reason Hatori never got back to him; which wasn't like Hatori at all. Now on this Saturday morning Ayame was in his room lying under his covers sleeping. He slept with the covers all over his body; if you peeked in his room you would just see a lump in the bed. Shigure knocked on Ayame's door but there was no answer. Ayame worked very hard at his shop and Saturday was his only day off. Shigure walked inside and sat down next to Ayame. He took the covers gently off his head hoping to not wake him.

'He's so beautiful when he's sleeping (sigh) I wish Yuki would just talk to him, he's been working so hard and not giving himself a break since he got here (sigh). Working yourself to death is not going to help you forget anything Ayame.' Shigure thought.

"Good Morning Shigure." Ayame said with a very groggy deep voice.

"Morning Aaya."

"Is there something wrong?" Ayame asked.

"No, I just wanted to tell you I have a book signing to go to today, is there anything you need me to do for you before I leave?" Shigure asked.

"No, have a good time at your book signing." Ayame pulled the covers back over his head.

"Uh okay then, see you later on tonight." Shigure stood up and walked out his room closing the door behind him.

'They both sleep so late on Saturdays.' Shigure walked to the front door and put his shoes on.

"Bye Tohru! Thanks for breakfast!" Tohru ran out the kitchen to say goodbye to Shigure. As Shigure walked out the door he saw his editor waiting for him in her car crying.

"Aw what's wrong Mii?" Shigure asked. He looked at his editor smiling.

"Y-you said you would be a minute a-and now we're an hour late for the signing!" She said while crying waterfalls.

"Aw there's no reason to cry about it. I'm ready now and that's all that matters right?"

"NO!" Shigure got in and Mii drove off to the signing crying at the same time.

"You know Mii, you're going to blur your eyesight with all that crying and then we'll crash and then we'll never make it to the signing." Mii began to cry harder, as she heard Shigure's snickering.

(Back inside the house)

Kyo was eating with Tohru.

"So, do you have any plans for today Kyo?"

"Yeah, I'm going to spar with Hatsuharu today at Kazuma's dojo." Kyo answered while eating a riceball. "What about you?" Kyo asked.

"Oh I'm going to Hana's house for a sleepover with her and Uo."

"That means that Ayame and that damn rat are going to be here by themselves." Tohru gasped at what Kyo said.

"You're right! What should we do? Maybe I should stay here and tell Hana to reschedule or or…" Tohru began to panic.

"Tohru!"

"Or maybe I could find someway to clone myself and stay here with them!"

"Now you're just talking stupid."

"But we can't leave them by themselves."
"Think about it, this could be good. This way the damn rat and damn snake can have sometime alone without us planning it."

"Kyo, it seems like we planned this though."

"But we didn't." Kyo answered.

"Yeah but they don't know that." Before they could finish their conversation Hatsuharu walked into the living room.

"Hatsuharu!" Tohru said.

"Hey Tohru." He answered in his sexy monotone voice.

"Hi."

"How's Yuki?" Hatsuharu asked.

"Um well, he could be doing better."

"Oh." Hatsuharu said. Unfortunately for him there was nothing he could do to help Yuki in his time of need. He sucked his teeth.

"Oh well. See you tomorrow." Kyo said as he walked out of the living room to the door.

"Oh, yeah bye you two."

"See ya Tohru. Tell Yuki I said take care please." Hatsuharu responded.

"I will." Hatsuharu walked out the living room to the door as well. Tohru stood and began to prepare lunch for Yuki and Ayame. They could eat take out for dinner. She wanted to make sure they ate breakfast, even though it would be a little late, and lunch before she had to leave herself. Once she was done it was about 11:30 and she went up to her room to pack her clothes.

'I feel really bad leaving them like this. Hopefully they'll get along while no one is here. I know Shigure would want to come home to house that is still in tack.' Tohru finished packing her clothes and went back downstairs to wait for Uo and Hanajima. She cleaned the kitchen and living room and when she was finished she wrote a letter and put it on the fridge. By that time Uo and Hanajima came and Tohru left. It was 1:00 and Yuki got out of his bed lazily and went to the bathroom to wash up. Ayame also woke up at that time; he sat up in a daze for a while until he stood up and began to walk to the bathroom. Yuki opened the door.

"Oof!" he bumped into Ayame, and they both fell backwards.

"Ouch, I'm sorry Yuki are you alright? I wasn't looking where I was going." Ayame said concerned for his little brother.

"I'm fine." Yuki stood up and walked past Ayame to go downstairs.

"I must've made him angry (sigh)" Ayame stood up, dusted himself off and walked into the bathroom.

(In the Kitchen)

Yuki looked at the fridge and saw the letter from Tohru, it said:

Dear Yuki,

I left you and Ayame's breakfast on the stove, well maybe you can consider it lunch and if you consider it lunch then the food in the fridge is your dinner, not unless you consider that lunch.

'She babbles so much' Yuki smiled at the thought. He continued to read the letter.

I'm at Hana's house for a sleepover but if you need anything just call me and I'll rush right over. Anyway make sure to eat plenty and try to get along with Ayame, please. Shigure went to a book signing and Kyo went to Mr.Kazuma's dojo with Hatsuharu okay. So see you tomorrow.

P.S. Hatsuharu said take care. Bye!

Tohru

The letter ended with a little riceball with a smile on it. Yuki put the letter down and heated his breakfast or lunch up. Ayame came downstairs, and he was confused at how empty the house was.

"Where is everyone?" Ayame asked hoping to receive a response.

"Tohru is with her friends, Kyo is at Kazuma's dojo and Shigure is at a book signing."

"Oh, I see." Ayame's stomach growled.

"Your food is in the kitchen." Yuki said, hearing Ayame's stomach.

"Thanks." Ayame heated up his food and made some tea. He brought a cup in for Yuki and himself; he went to get his food and finally sat down to eat.

"So, how's the tea?" Ayame asked trying to start a conversation.

"Fine I guess." Yuki kept eating. Ayame sipped his tea feeling the tension between the two of them grow. But he was determined to ease it no matter what.

"Um how's your asthma?"
"It's better."

"Good, good." Ayame sipped his tea again. "My shop is doing really well."

"Is that so?" Yuki said.

"Yeah, I'm having more business." Ayame looked at the ceiling. He felt the comfort level drop insanely. Everything became silent, neither one of them was used to this thing that you call bonding. What made the situation worse was neither one of knew when anyone was going to back. Yuki knew that Tohru would be back tomorrow but…why tomorrow, why not ten minutes, no, make that one minute. Right now Yuki would take anybody even Kyo. Yuki sipped his tea and finished his food. Ayame also finished his food.

'(Sigh) I hate this. Why did everyone have to leave on the same day? I bet they planned this. I can't take this!' Yuki thought.

'This is very uncomfortable. I only thought that Shigure was leaving, I had no idea that Tohru and Kyon would be gone too. Well maybe I can finally get to know Yuki better, hopefully. ' Ayame thought. He cleared his throat and attempted to start a conversation with his brother again.

"So Yuki, what do you do for fun?" Ayame asked.

"Beat up that stupid cat." Yuki answered.

"Oh, I guess we both have something in common after all."

"Really and what might that be?"

"We both like to mess with Kyon. He's such an easy target." Ayame laughed at the remark. Yuki smiled the smallest smile possible. It was funny though, Kyo did have a way of entertaining people, even though he never means to. Only god knows how but somehow they found something they had in common with each other even if it was small. Maybe all hope was not lost for Ayame, maybe he could really become the brother that he's always wanted to be. Ayame and Yuki talked for little bit longer. Since they were still very new at this Yuki decided to end it before something went wrong. He cleaned his dishes and went upstairs to get dressed so he could tend to his garden. Ayame went up to his room to draw some more designs for his clothing store and call Hatori. He was pretty happy even though their conversation was small and had no point, it meant everything to Ayame. He was finally getting somewhere. Soon the day ended and Shigure and Kyo had returned.

"Well this is definitely a surprise." Shigure said.

"What?" Kyo said, hearing Shigure's comment.

"I thought I was going to come home to a wrecked house. I wonder why it's still standing?" Shigure pondered that for a second. "You know what, on second thought, I won't wonder about miracles."

Shigure sat down and ordered take out for him and Kyo, unfortunately Tohru didn't make dinner for them, and the food she made for Yuki and Ayame was eaten all.

"Hurry up Shigure! I'm hungry." Kyo said.

Woo, this chappy was way longer than I expected it to be. I also realized I've been spelling Ayame's nickname wrong (sweatdrop, I'm such a doofus) But I'm happy though, no more writer's block ! I'll have the next chappy out in 2 days. I'll start right away! Please review!
