Thank you for the reviews! I hope you enjoy this new chapter! :)

Shigure didn't know why he lied to the girls. He just couldn't bear to tell them the truth. One of them had to lose their memories. Instead, he said "Well, Akito said you girls could stay for a bit."

"That's so nice of him!" Tohru said gratefully. Sora smiled.

"I think I'll go home and see how my dad is doing."

"Are you sure?" Yuki asked, concerned. He was standing next to Shigure, and he knew Shigure must have lied.

"Yeah, if it gets bad, I'll come back." Shigure nodded and Sora left. Sora felt sorry for Tohru. A little bit earlier, Tohru had told Sora her back story. She couldn't imagine living in a tent. When she got home, her father was there. He was sitting on a chair, looking out into space. "Hi daddy." Sora said slowly. He looked at Sora, and that old fury appeared on his face.

"I thought I told you to leave." He muttered.

"But, you were drunk then so…"

"Pack your bags and get out. If I see you again…" He glanced over at the kitchen, and Sora knew what he was thinking.

"Yes sir." Sora went into her room and packed all her clothes. She didn't need anything else. She left the house without a word. For a few minutes, Sora waited outside the door, hoping that maybe her father would open it and let her back in. That didn't happen. When Sora got back to the house, she saw Kyo sitting on the roof. "Hi Kyo!" She shouted, trying to sound happy. Kyo looked down and grunted.

"Your name is Sora, right?" He said. Sora nodded. Kyo jumped off the roof. "Could you tell Tohru I'm sorry?"

"What?"

"Oh yeah, you weren't in class." He scolded himself. "Well, I guess I have to." He walked off.

"Hey Sora." Yuki was walking out of the bushes. "How was it?" Kyo, who wasn't too far away, stopped walking and looked at them, he was obviously curious.

"He told me to pack my bags and leave," Sora said, gesturing at the bags she was holding.

"I'm sorry." Yuki said, sorrow in his voice.

"It's okay. I guess I'm going to stay here for a while." Sora smiled.

"So our flower is staying!" Shigure said from afar. When Sora saw his face, she knew he was hiding something. He looked afraid and sad. What was it? "Hey, where's Kyo?" Sora looked back where Kyo was, and he wasn't there.

"Who cares?" said Yuki.

"You don't like him very much, do you?" Sora observed.

"Well, he certainly isn't my friend." Yuki chuckled.

"Why is that?" Sora asked.

"It's the old folk tale." Sora heard Shigure say. "The cat, in other words Kyo, was tricked by the rat, Yuki. You see, there was going to banquet, and the rat told the cat that it was two days from then, which was a lie. So the cat missed the banquet."

"The poor cat…" Sora looked at Yuki quickly. "Not that I don't like you any less! I mean…" She blushed. Yuki did the same, and Shigure smirked. "I'm going to put my things inside." Sora rushed in and went into her room. She felt stupid. She had only known Yuki for a day, and she was saying things like that!

When Tohru got back from work, she was accompanied by Kyo. "OOH, so you took Tohru home by yourself? And you scared Tohru!" He did a mock gasp. "Kyo's a pervert! Kyo's a pervert!"

"I AM NOT!" Kyo shouted angrily. Tohru and Sora laughed, and Yuki smiled. "What's for dinner?"

"Some fried leeks." Tohru and Sora said together casually.

"Not leeks…. Anything but leeks…" He said angrily.

"Oh Kyo, you don't like leeks?" Tohru asked.

"I hate leeks!" He said as Sora put them on the table. "Leeks are the nastiest food in the…" Kyo stopped when Yuki stuffed a piece of leek in his mouth.

"So Sora, how do you like our school?" Tohru asked Sora as they ate.

"It's pretty nice."

"Did you see Kyo at school today?" Tohru asked.

"Now that you mention it…" Sora thought back. She had seen Kyo for a bit, but then he had left. "So he's going to our school now?"

"Unfortunately!" Kyo put in.

"You'll like the school Kyo. I've only been there for two days, but it's very nice." Kyo rolled his eyes.

"Don't pay any attention to Kyo. He's a jerk," advised Yuki.

"You're the jerk around here!" Kyo yelled.

"Time out you two!" Shigure butted in. After a while, Kyo and Yuki finally stopped arguing with each other.

An hour later, Sora decided it would be fun to take a look around. So she left the house and walked around the place. She started walking down the road when she saw something. It was a small garden. Curious, she walked up to it. She saw rows and rows of vegetables. "Wow. I wonder whose garden this is." She thought.

"So you found my garden." Sora saw Yuki standing next to a tree.

"This is your garden? It looks so cool!" Sora said in awe.

"Thanks." Sora looked around.

"How did you do all this?"

"Let's just say it took me a while." Sora laughed. "You know, you're pretty cute." Sora looked at Yuki in surprise.

"T-thank you…" She said, still shocked. Yuki smiled and started to tell Sora about the garden.

Over a couple days, Yuki and Sora started to get closer. Arisa and Saki thought that was cute, and Tohru grinned. Shigure was the only one who seemed concerned, and Sora wondered why.

"It's time for the cultural festival!" Yuki announced one day at class. As the class talked about it, they decided on what they would do. It would be rice balls and hit-or-miss was the main attraction. Kyo's idea was immediately thrown out. In response he ran out of the room. Tohru chased after him. "Stupid cat…" Sora heard Yuki mutter.

"Oh Yuki!" Oh no… it was those stupid Yuki fan club girls again. One of the girls was holding a dress. "We want you to wear this."

Of all the things Sora thought she would see in life, seeing Yuki Sohma dressed up as a girl wasn't one of them. She had to admit, he was a cute girl. That night at the cultural festival, Yuki was drawing in crowds with the dress. "Maybe instead of rice balls we should have gotten a bunch of men to dress up like girls." Sora said to Tohru. Tohru laughed.

"I can't help but think Yuki's mad at me. He had this grumpy look on his face," Tohru said worriedly.

"He's just upset because he has to wear a dress," Kyo said. He had an evil smile on his face. "Serves him right." Suddenly, a little boy came out of nowhere and ran over to Tohru.

"TOHRU!" The boy said with glee. "I'm so glad you're here! Hey…" He whispered in her ear. "You know about the zodiac curse, right?"

"Yes."

"Then I can hug you!" The boy jumped to hug her, but Sora grabbed his shirt.

"You can't! You'll transform!" Sora scolded.

"Yeah, listen to the girl!" said Kyo. The boy nodded and Sora let go. As soon as she did, the boy hugged Tohru, in an instant the boy transformed into a rabbit. Sora did what any one would do. She panicked.

"What do we do?" Sora asked, trying to hide the rabbit.

"Ugh, Momiji is such a stupid kid," Kyo muttered. So that was that boy's name. Sora looked over and saw that Yuki was by a man. He had black hair that covered one of his green eyes. He looked at Sora with a glare. Sora quickly turned her head. She didn't like that man, whoever he was. That was when things got worse. Some of the fan girls saw clothes on the floor and a rabbit.

"Where did that kid go?" They asked each other.

"We're in deep trouble," Sora thought to herself.

"You don't think I'm pretty do you?" Sora heard Yuki cry out. "You go off about some rabbit, and you immediately forget about your princess." All the girls were back to Yuki.

"Let's go!" Tohru urged, and they left for the roof.

"Momiji, that was very irresponsible." The man from before was on the roof, and he was scolding Momiji.

"Tohru he's scary!" Momiji said, clinging to Tohru. Sora had to agree with Momiji. Every time she looked at the man, he had a glare on his face.

"We should punish him or something!" Kyo said angrily.

"Poor Yuki, he's being punished down stairs, having to entertain all those girls." Sora said, feeling pity.

"Are you kidding me? Who cares about that rat? I'm glad he's down there suffering…" Yuki kicked him into the sky.

"Wow…" Sora said, watching Kyo fly. "When did you get here?"

"Just now, and I need to take this dress off." Sora noticed that the man and Momiji had left. "Tohru, Sora!" Yuki said to get their attention. "Don't be around Hatori, that man you met. He's bad news."

"I'm going to go back down stairs." Tohru said cheerfully. Kyo followed her. Sora looked at Yuki. He was trying to take off the dress.

"You know, you looked really cute," Sora said quietly.

"It's not good for a man to be called cute. How embarrassing."

"On the bright side, you won't have to do it again!" Sora said cheerfully.

"Yeah, that's good." He smiled at her, but then frowned slightly. "Um, my hair is caught on a button."

"Oh! I can fix that." In a few seconds, it was out.

"Sora, I have a question."

"What is it?"

"How are you still happy? Your father kicked you out of your house, and your mother is dead." Sora was silent for a minute.

"Well, I guess I have been looking at the bright side of things. Honestly, I don't know."

"I like you Sora." Yuki said with a smile. Sora blushed. Nobody had ever said that to her before. "You're cute and fun to be around."

"Thank you Yuki. I must admit, I've never heard someone say that to me."

"Now you have." Sora noticed Yuki was really close to her. He kissed her on the cheek. Sora had to keep herself from freaking out. "Why don't we go downstairs?" All she could do was nod.

"I'm a terrible person, you know." Shigure said. He was talking over the phone to Hatori. "I'm letting this drag on for too long. One of those girls will lose it all."

"If Sora didn't have a similar story, I would say make Sora lose her memories."

"Yes, but that's not all."

"What?"

"I've turned into a perverted stalker…" Shigure chuckled a bit. "Yuki is falling in love with Sora, I think."

"And why do you think that?"

"I saw Yuki kiss Sora on the cheek."

"It was just one kiss, and not even on the lips."

"Yes, but have you ever seen Yuki kiss a girl before?" Hatori was silent. "Maybe I shouldn't keep this going."

"It's too late Shigure. You should let this go for a bit longer, and see how their relationship works out."

"Yeah, okay. Thanks." Shigure hung up and stared at the wall. Why did this have to happen to him, of all people? "Well, there is no way going around it. Yuki, you've got a tough future ahead of you."
