Chapter 2- 5EX?! I have questions!

The kiss lasted for about a minute, and would have gone on longer if Shigure didn't decide to walk into the kitchen at that exact moment.

"Hari! Taking advantage of an innocent woman!," Shigure tsked playfully and wagged a finger at them.

The two lovers broke apart quickly and blushed as they looked at Shigure. Shigure carefully surveyed Tohru and the outfit she was wearing and smiled.

"Or maybe a not so innocent woman after all...," Shigure grinned.

"Oh S-Shigure! W-what are you d-doing here?," Tohru stuttered and blushed madly.

"You asked me to come- remember?," Shigure leaned back against the kitchen wall.

"Oh right! Why don't you two go and sit at the table and I'll have dinner out soon?," Tohru looked back and forth between Hatori and Shigure nervously.

Hatori, sensing her discomfort- and still fazed by the kiss- spoke:

"That's a great idea Tohru. Thank you."

Shigure just smiled and left the room, followed by Hatori who threw Tohru a small smile before leaving.


"What are you doing here?," Hatori sat down at the table.

"What does it look like? Tohru invited me for dinner here," Shigure sat and folded his arms.

"..." Hatori kept silent.

"It's alright Haa-san. We both know that Tohru has feelings for you. And if I didn't know any better, you have feelings for her too," Shigure leaned on the table.

"I guess...," Hatori muttered.

"It's my wild guess that Ayame picked out that outfit for her and set this whole thing up," Shigure sighed.

"That crossed my mind as well," Hatori said.

Tohru walked in, mid-conversation, holding a tray of food.

"Don't you two like my outfit?," Tohru squeaked.

"It looks good on you," Hatori blushed lightly as he spoke.

"It's true," Shigure smiled up at her.

Tohru smiled in return.

"I was hoping you like it. I spent so much time finding the perfect thing to wear," Tohru sat and started serving the food.

"Oh? So Aya didn't help you?," Shigure blinked.

"Ayame? Oh no. I didn't want to bother him so I looked on my own. You don't like it, do you?," Tohru pouted cutely.

"Oh, I love it! It's perfect on you! It was made for you! Perfect for tonight," Shigure smiled.

"Well...I hope you all enjoy the meal," Tohru picked up her chopsticks and sat in between the two. She was trying to change the topic to something other than herself. She was saving her questions till later.

"It looks delicious," Hatori complimented.

"Mm-hmm. It smells soo sood," Shigure said.

"Thank you. Eat up," Tohru smiled and put some food in her mouth.

They ate in silence for a few minutes, despite having Shigure at the table. Tohru looked around and found that Hatori and Shigure were done eating and were just sipping their drinks. She was ready. She was going to ask them her questions. Now would be an opportune time and she was not going to let all her preperations go to waste.

"Um...I have a question," Tohru blushed slightly as she broke the serene silence in the room.

"Yes?," Shigure gleamed at her.

"What is it?," Hatori looked at her with conern.

"Well...I didn't know who else to ask...and you two are like my family...," Tohru played with her thumbs and looked down at her lap.

"Go ahead. Ask anything," Shigure encouraged her to continue.

"Okay... I want to know more about sex," Tohru blurted out.
