A/N: HIIIIIIII!!!! Yeah so I think I'll continue this story, I think some people want to keep reading it, and thank you to Aqua, I couldn't reply to your review so I'm thanking you here, your review made me very happy, all of them did though. Ok so I'm sure some people are sort of wondering about the pairing in this story and so am I to be honest, I mean it looks like Kyo and Tohru and yet, it doesn't, if you don't mind I would like your opinion on what pairing to have, I mean it's all about what you guys want. 

ShigurexAyame (I love a good yaoi)

KyoxTohru (It seems like this may be the expected couple)

YukixTohru (It's possible)

KyoxYuki (Like I said before…love a good yaoi)

I want you to vote for who you want most, pretty please, you'll be doing me a gigantic favor if you do, it will help me complete the plot, and of course the couple with the most votes will be the star couple and we can have a little side couple too, you decide. Oh and sorry for this super long author's note. I don't think there will be anymore that are this long.

Disclaimer: I always forget this thing, um it's not mine, it belongs to the wonderful Natsuki Takaya, I wish it was mine though (this disclaimer goes for any chappy I've forgotten about. I have a habit of doing that, please don't sue me.)

(Previously)

Kyo walked back into the classroom and went to his seat. Tohru got up and walked over to him, seeing that he wasn't very happy.

"What's wrong Kyo?"

"Nothin." Kyo answered as he looked back outside.

"Oh, okay then." Tohru looked disappointed, if something was bothering Kyo, she thought that he would always tell her. Kyo saw the face that he didn't want to see, the face of disappointment and he couldn't stand it.

"Look, I tried to talk to him…but I sort of, lost my nerve." Tohru looked at Kyo with a small smile.

"That's alright Kyo."

"But I know how much you want Yuki to feel better, so I'll try again." Kyo said beginning to blush.

"Okay." Tohru's smile and voice was filled with happiness at that point, to think that Kyo would attempt something that he didn't really want to do again for her, was such a great feeling.

(Same Day, Shigure's House)

Ayame woke up at around 11:00am and was shocked. He had done the most inexcusable thing imaginable...he overslept. He threw the covers off of him and grabbed the clock.

"OH NO!!! THIS IS UNSPEAKABLE!!!! MY RECORD FOR BEING PUNCTUAL IS RUINED!!!!" He stood up and ran to the bathroom to take a shower and get ready for work. Shigure was downstairs sipping tea and reading one of his wonderful creations, that his fans buy right off the rack as soon as they reach the store. He took the book down from in front of his face and listened to his friend run around upstairs.

"Ayame, please be careful not to run into anything!! The walls really wouldn't be able to take it at this point." Shigure smiled at his sarcastic comment. Ayame ran out of the bathroom but stopped midway. He turned back to the mirror to look at his hair. He fixed the one piece of hair that was distorted. He was lucky this time; it would've been incredibly disastrous if he had walked out of the house with a strand out of his place. Too many people have such a high expectation for his appearance that nothing can be crooked, out of place, or anything, a thread wasn't even allowed to hang from a piece of his clothing. He continued to go back to his room when he fixed his dilemma. After he dressed himself, he came downstairs and looked at Shigure.

"What?" Shigure looked at him with his book halfway down his face. (A/N: I really don't mean to interrupt the story but does Shigure wear glasses while he's reading, I can't remember?)

"Why did you turn off my alarm?" Ayame asked.

"You seemed so peaceful while you were sleeping, and that clock kept beeping and beeping, it was becoming annoying. By the way, what were you dreaming about? Me maybe?" Shigure asked slyly.

"Of course Shigure, the sweet lands of my dreams are always filled with your magnificent presence." Ayame replied, but you couldn't tell whether it was sarcasm or not.

"Hm, really, well I'm not that great." Shigure was smiling at this point. He lived his life so leisurely that this was pure fun for him. Never having anything to do was boring for the 27-year old; he needed excitement, even at other's expense. Shigure's intentions weren't all bad though; he didn't mean to make his friend angry. All Ayame does is work, work, and work some more. He hasn't been eating healthy either; Shigure was starting to become a bit worried; maybe this wasn't the best idea that Akito has come up with.

"I'll be leaving now."

"Wait, aren't you going to eat something?" Shigure asked out of concern for his friend.

"I'll be fine, bye bye." Ayame waved and went on his way.

Shigure took another sip of his tea, and commenced reading his book again.

'I think it's time to give a certain somebody a call, it doesn't look like he'll talk to me.' Shigure thought.

(At Ayame's Shop)

"Sir, you're late, this isn't like you at all." Mine, Ayame's assistant said bringing him some tea from the back of the store. She was dressed in her usual black and white maid outfit with her long white socks, black shoes, and cute braided pigtails.

"I know, I know, my sincerest apologies Mine." Ayame took a sip of his piping hot tea.

"Three of your clients have called to schedule appointments for their fitting." Mine said as she stood there with a clipboard in her hand.

"Oh?"

"Yes, but I told them to call back later, since you weren't here." She smiled and looked at Ayame who's mind seemed to be somewhere else.

"Is there something bothering you Sir?" Mine asked, concerned for her boss. Ayame didn't hear the question; he was too deep in thought to hear.

"Sir?" Mine spoke a bit louder and Ayame snapped out of his trance.

"Yes Mine?"

"How is everything?" Mine asked. She sat down on the couch next to Ayame.

"It's going very good, I'm able to enjoy the company of my closest friend everyday and the wonderful company of Tohru as well…" Ayame smiled and then became silent. Mine looked at him; she took his teacup from him and put it on the table. Ayame whined at the separation, the tea was very delicious and he hadn't drunk anything that morning. Mine grabbed his hands and smiled at him.

"Ayame, sir, I'm very sorry that I can't relate to your problem. I wish I could, so I could give you the right advice. Unfortunately I can't, but I am here for you." Ayame looked at Mine, as she spoke such kind words to him. He loved the way she talked in such a calming and sweet voice all the time.

"There's not much a person who doesn't understand or can't relate to another person's problems can do…It's obvious that you're hurting right now, but I'm sure everything will turn out fine." Ayame put one hand on top of Mine's. She made him feel a million times better than he had felt in a while.

"Thank you Mine, thank you very much."

They smiled at eachother, maybe this is one of the reason's he works so much, it relieves some of his stress. Most people would like to stay away from work because it builds stress, but not for Ayame, when Mine is around his worries seem to dissipate into thin air, even for a little while. She was one of his best friends, somehow if he didn't have the whole zodiac problem he would want to be with Mine, but Ayame understands how much pain those relationships can cause. Even though Hatori and Kana are a happy couple right now, who knows how long it will last with Akito watching their every move. So Ayame will just keep her as a dear friend and hope that she'll always be there to say kinds words to him. All of a sudden a customer walked into the store; Ayame stood up.

"Welcome! Please look around, this is a place where fantasies become reality!" The customer walked into the store smiling at his handsome host and hostess.

That's the end of that chappy, um for anyone who doesn't know how to say Mine's name its pronounced Me-ney, just incase . I guess you can tell this chappy was basically based on Ayame, but I couldn't really do anything more because I need to know the couples you want, so I apologize if it wasn't as good as it could've been. Um please review and see ya next chappy.
