"hmmm…" Shigure flipped through Kyo's journal, trying to convert the page he was reading, into a much more interesting manga.

Well, in his book, Shigure wanted there to be a vicious battle of love between Yuki and Kyo for Tohru. …but as he read Kyo's journal, he saw that he'd have to make that part up.

It said several times that Kyo thought of Tohru like a little sister. It also mentioned, however, a person who was always referred to "the source of my fluttering heart" or "that person" or "the beautiful" or even flat out "my beloved". …but it never shared the name…

Kyo, albeit being very poetic in his journal, wasn't very helpful.

Shigure drew a long sigh. He'd just make up all the romance then. He was good at that. It is his job after all.

So the books continued, albeit slowing down considerably.

"Shigure! Your editor's here, looking like she's about to commit suicide, and take you with her!" Yuki yelled.

"Ok, I'm in my study!" Shigure yelled back, still highly enthralled in his newest chapter, chapter 19.

"Shigure-san… your new book you were talking about…??" The woman asked shaking slightly in anticipation, waiting to have to yell at the man.

"hn? Oh, yes, here you go! The first book." Shigure said, only glancing away from his work briefly.

"It's…" Mitchan began, startled.

"It's real?" She asked, flipping through it. Tears streamed down her face.

"THIS IS A DREAM COME TRUE!! SHIGURE!!!"

"Shhh… Mitchan, I'm trying to work." Shigure smirked. He'd start playing his little game with her again with the next book.

"Oh! I'm sorry! I'll look these over and bring them to the publisher right away!" She nearly yelled.

"Ok." Shigure gave a half-wave over his shoulder.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Drawing all the girls falling all over Yuki, Shigure had to pause to laugh loudly. This was; by far; his best idea ever.

"Shigure, dinner's almost ready!" Tohru smiled, leaning into the room slightly.

"Ok, I'll just finish this page, and then I'll be right out."

"oh, ok!" Tohru grinned. It was nice to see Shigure so focused on his work.

Going back into the kitchen, she heard Kyo and Yuki talking. Not yelling, not even arguing. Talking.

"You have to wonder what exactly he's writing, that he didn't even torture his editor for it." Yuki pondered aloud.

"It can't be his normal perv-book, right?" Kyo asked. Neither of them weren't looking at each other, but at Shigure's Study door.

"yes… he would have acted the same way he usually does if it were just another one of those… Do you smell smoke?" Yuki asked.

Tohru yelped. While watching the two have a civil conversation, she had completely forgotten about dinner!

"OOH! TOHRU!! THAT SMELLS DELICIOUS!!" Shigure yelled, sitting over at the table next to Yuki.

"Oh… it's a little burnt…" Tohru frowned, but set the plate down at the table anyways.

The four started to eat, and after a few exchanged glances between Yuki and Kyo, Yuki finally spoke up.

"So, Shigure… we heard you're writing a new novel." He started

"Oh? And where did you hear that?" Shigure grinned behind his glass of water.

"your editor was here earlier." He responded simply.

"Ah, yes. But no, I'm not writing a new novel." Shigure grinned. And technically, he wasn't. he was writing a manga.

"but-" Yuki started before Shigure cut him off.

"AH!! I'm full. Thank-you Tohru for your wonderful food, but I must retreat to my study now!!" and with that, Shigure slipped out of the room.

"Now I really want to know." Kyo frowned.

"and you think I don't? stupid cat." Yuki said, but frowned too, staring at the retreating Shigure.

"What'did you call me?!" Kyo stood up. Tohru sighed. It looks like whatever civilness had been there before dinner was gone now.

She slowly picked up the dishes, and headed back to the kitchen to do the dishes, trying to ignore the bickering in the backround.

A/N …GOMEN NASAI!! TT-TT It's been a long time… yeah, sorry… XD I had a spot of writers block, but soon got over it after reading the nice reviews I got… (most of them I just received today. -.-;;)

Specail thanks to Princess-Serenity-Serena, who's PM was really the one to get me up off my lazy butt. XD
