After School On The Way To Shigure's House…

Tohru went to work, so it was just Yuki and Kyo.

"This is the perfect time to ask!" Thought Yuki.

"Ummm… Kyo?" asked Yuki nervously.

"Whaddaya want, rat?" replied Kyo.

"Well, at school… is there a girl you find..." Yuki gulped before he emitted the last word, "...cute?" Kyo stopped in his tracks.

"You're lucky that passing time after 2nd period is long or I'd have to scratch your eyes out." The girl from earlier came to mind.

"Why am I thinking of her?" asked Kyo, mentally slapping himself.

"Of who?" asked Yuki, smiling inwardly.

"N-nobody! What's it to you anyway?" Kyo interrogated.

"Uhh…"

"There's a girl YOU like, isn't there?" asked Kyo, smirking as Yuki's cheeks flamed. "Oh, now this I GOTTA see. Who is it?" questioned Kyo.

"I don't LIKE her! We're just friends! And I'm not even sure about that…" Yuki looked at the ground.

"Ohh…" said Kyo, "Now who is it?" he asked eagerly.

"Not telling." Said Yuki, walking again. Kyo followed.

"C'mon. Tell me, ya damn rat!"

"No."

"C'mon!"

"No!"

"C'mon!"

"NO!"

And so it continued until they reached the front door.

"FINE!" Yuki yelled, "I'll tell you." He said grudgingly.

"Then cough up, rat boy." Smirked Kyo.

"Her name is…. Shana." He said quietly.

"I can't hear you…" said Kyo in a sing-song voice.

"I SAID HER NAME IS SHANA!!!" Yelled Yuki. Shigure popped out.

"Is that love in the air?" said Shigure.

"Oh no…" Yuki slapped his forehead. Shigure raised his eyebrows suggestively.

"So this Shana girl…"

"Don't you dare do anything." Threatened Yuki.

"Oh, I won't." said Shigure mischievously. Behind his back, he pressed the SEND button for a text message.

To Ayame.

"OH YUKIIII!!!!" came a voice from far off. Yuki was at Shigure's throat in an instant.

"What. Did. You. Do!?!??!" he said with a dark aura around him.

"My dear brother, I am here to make all your romantic fantasies come true!!!" Ayame exclaimed, hugging Yuki.

"Get. Off. Me." Kyo was on the ground, laughing.

"Ok, now who's this lucky girl?" Ayame asked.

"Her … name…is... S-Shana!" Kyo managed out between laughs. Yuki glared.

"Very well. I shall come to you school tomorrow and meet this young lady of yours." Yuki's eyes widened. He had to think of something, and FAST. Suddenly, it hit him.

"Why just me? Kyo likes a girl too!" He blurted out. Kyo's face went pale.

"KYON-KICHI!" exclaimed Ayame.

"You sly dog, you!" grinned Shigure. A vein popped in Kyo's forehead.

"I DO NOT! THE DAMN RAT IS LYING!"

"No I'm not. You were thinking about a girl before. Ha." Said Yuki in a-matter-of-fact tone. Shigure and Ayame were in front of Kyo's face immediately.

"Well, well well… Looks like I will have two young ladies to visit tomorrow." Said Ayame. Yuki and Kyo were horrified.

"She'll never speak to me again!" Was going through Yuki's mind.

"Damn… that girl had sharp nails! Dammit!" thought Kyo.

The Next Day, Lunch At School… (Ayame is searching for the "ladies")

"Hmmm…." Said Ayame, his eyes scanning over the lunch area, "I will know on SIGHT who the young ladies are. Let me see…"

"SHANA, I'M GONNA KILL YOU!!!" Ellen was chasing Shana, because Shana had stolen her math notebook.

"JUST YOU TRY!" Shana yelled back. Kori was chasing the both of them.

"CUT IT OUT! YOU BOTH ACT SO IMMATURE!" she was yelling.

All this took place in front of Yuki, Kyo, and Ayame.

Kyo and Yuki were trying hard not to laugh as Ayame was still looking around.

"Ah, maybe behind those crazed lunatics over there…" Ayame gestured toward Shana, Ellen and Kori. Yuki and Kyo both shook their heads no. "No? I see. This is a hard one…" Yuki and Kyo couldn't take it anymore.

They burst out laughing. Kakeru was there in an instant.

"Yun-Yun! Orangey! OMIGOSH! COMMANDER!!!" He was very happy to see Ayame. Ayame dazzled.

"Yes, do you, by chance, know who the fair ladies of my young siblings are?" asked Ayame.

"HEY! DON'T SAY IT AS IF I'M RELATED TO YOU!" Said an angered Kyo.

"Well, I don't know about Orangey, but Shana's right over there…." Said Kakeru.

Yuki's world came crashing down.

"You're going to pay for that…." He said. Kakeru just grinned like the idiot he is.

"C'mon Commander! I'll introduce you!" Kyo was laughing. Yuki glared. Kakeru acted like an idiot. And Ayame got ready to speak to Shana.

Currently, Ellen had tackled Shana, but then Kori had tackled Ellen, and now Shana only had to get her foot out of Ellen's clutches to escape. Kakeru dragged Shana out of the pile, with Ellen close behind. Shana still had the notebook. (WOO! VICTORY FOR ME! Take THAT Ellen!)

"Kakeru? Where are you taking me?!?! I told you before, Kori won't go out with you!" She said. Kakeru sighed.

"It's not about that. There's someone here that would like to meet you." Shana's eyes widened.

"New people? Oh no… Kakeru! You know I'm not a people person!"

She whacked him and managed to run away, but he caught her and started dragging her again.

"Ellen! Help me!" Shana wailed.

"Give me back my notebook." Ellen replied.

"NEVER!"

"DON'T EXPECT ANY HELP THEN!"

"Kyu…."

Kyo sweatdropped as he watched.

"THIS is Shana?" he asked. Yuki nodded, a small smile growing on his face. Kyo turned his head to Ellen and blushed slightly. Yuki, observing this, his eyes widened.

"THAT'S HER, ISN'T IT?!?!?"

"Wha? NO!!"

"Ha. You can't fool me! And I know her name. She's one of Shana best friends! Her name is Ellen!" Yuki ran to Ayame(OMG. The apocalypse), leaving a shocked Kyo.
