A/N: It's been awhile but I am posting and thank you to my few readers! Hope you enjoy! Oh! And we'll be starting a new case REALLY soon. Like I'm already working on it and this is the conclusion of Case #1. :)

By now, I'm sure you all know that this case was successful. But… of course, there's always more to the story. Let's get back to the files and see how the date went. And how Kyou Sohma became a more regular fixture of my life…..


9:49 am

January 17

I sat in the "waiting room" debating on positioning. 'Should I sit here? Or stand by the kitchenette? Or maybe just…' I sighed. Why did it matter? He was just a client. One that I would probably never see again after today. I re-crossed my legs and leaned back.

Later, I would be informed by a certain orange haired boy that sitting like that provided him with a perfect view of my underwear but as I didn't know that at the time….

There was a knock at the door and I called out "Come in!" It was Kyou as I expected and he stopped in the doorway for a moment before walking further in and stopping opposite me. I stood and smiled.

"Please have a seat, Kyou."

He nodded slightly and sat down.

"So…. How did it go?" I asked, sitting again.

"Oh um… I don't know how you knew but… you were right. We went to dinner and after a little while, I told her that I needed to tell her something important. So I told her. And… she felt like that too. That I was a brother. And…. It turns out… She likes Momiji… my cousin…."

"So it sounds like everyone's happy…"

"Oh we are. Mostly. I mean…"

"Just explain yourself…. Mumbling is not becoming, Kyou."

"I'm glad that we're not dating. That I'm free of her. I just… can't believe I lost to MOMIJI!"

At this he shook his head. I watched the boy in front of me. He was obviously the competitive type. He had pretty much admitted that when he was here for the first time. Unless he felt at ease about this, he would go and try to win her back. Just to prove he could.

Boys and their stupid pride….

"Listen, Kyou-san. You did not lose to him. If anything, he's doing you a favor by taking your leftovers off of your hand."

He looked at the floor for a moment and then back up at me.

"You're right, Yaziko-san. He's the loser, not me." He flashed me a large smile and I lost my breath.

That was the first time Kyou smiled at me. For some reason, I would always remember that moment…..

"Um... Yes... Well…. I'm always right." I stood and started towards the kitchenette. "Tea?"

"Yes please." I started the water to boil and turned to find Kyou standing behind me, leaning against the doorway.

"Yaziko-san…. You have yet to mention payment."

I stopped and blushed a bit. I didn't want to take money from him.

"Forget about it. This one was simple. I really didn't do anything." I waved him away and turned back to the tea.

"Nonsense! I wish to thank you for your services."

I thought for a moment. 'I could retain my right to call a favor of him. Then… I could see him again.'

"How about an enki suru*?"

"Hmmmm… That would be acceptable."

"Good. I'll let you know."

Kyou nodded and smiled again.

"I should be going."

"Hai**. I'll be seeing you, Kyou."

"Of course, Yaziko-chan."

'Did he just call me chan?' He turned and departed from my office, leaving me feeling… pleased yet confused. I turned back to my tea.


* postponement (the equivalent of an American Raincheck)

**Yes
