A/N: Well, I had actually forgotten about this story. But… I'll try continuing it. And thank you for the reviews, Okirimono (ah, you continue yours too… well when your computer gets fixed), Albino Phoenix, Sakura Ribbons, and Meowsa of Doom. I didn't think I'd get any, to be honest. So thanks!
So… the story.
"Little brother! Come down now! Feel pleased that I, your wonderful older brother, has taken the time to grace your house with my presence!"
After a minute of silence, Tohru blinked at Ayame. "Maybe… he is busy?"
Ayame gasped. "Busy? Doing what?"
"I… I don't know, to be honest. Perhaps you should give him a little time to himself?"
"Perhaps! Or perhaps I should get to the bottom of this!" Ayame yelled. "Gure-san! Listen to this!"
Shigure peeked out from his little office. "Aaya? What is it? Mit-chan is here. Isn't that right Mit-…"
"WRITE! THE MANUSCRIPT! IT'S DUE TODAY! WRITE!" came a loud scream from in the office.
"Maybe later, Aaya dear?" Shigure said with a wry grin amidst agonised cries of "KEEP WRITING! PLEASE SENSEI!"
The door to Shigure's office slid shut and Aaya, unperturbed, bounded up to Yuki's room.
"Little brother! We cannot bond if you are shut up in there!" he called through the gap in the door.
"Get out."
Ayame tried in vain to open the door. "Tohru, would you believe this? Yuki must be VERY busy indeed to not be able to spend time with me…"
"Get out," Yuki repeated.
"Sohma-kun, did I do something wrong?" Tohru questioned Yuki. "You don't sound very happy…"
"Honda-san, please take Ni-san back to his shop," Yuki said, a hint of pleading in his voice.
"Uh… uh…" Tohru looked at Ayame who was still trying to tug the door open.
"Why is he here?"
Both Tohru and Ayame stared at Kyo who had just appeared at the end of the hallway.

"Kyon-kichi!"
"DON'T CALL ME THAT!"
"Ah, Kyo-kun!" Tohru said excitedly. "I went to Ayame-san's shop to get you a new shirt!"
Kyo blanched. "From… his shop?"
"That's right!" Ayame said proudly. "You may now express your male dreams, which have come true for you today!"
Kyo backed away uneasily, but not before Tohru did the obvious. She picked up the white bag and took the liberty of taking the thing out and holding it out in all its frilly glory.
"Do you like it, Kyo-kun?"
