P is for "Paws"

"No," Hatori flat out told her.

"Aw, why not! You're always away at work! Besides, we've been talking about-"

"It's not the same," he looked into the glass and stared straight into its eyes. It reminded him of Shigure. And he would not want a Shigure running around his house.

Tohru frowned. It put up a paw against the window; she pouted. "But look at it! It's too cute!" Hatori looked over at her; she put her hand against the glass.

"You'd have to feed it every day-" She wasn't listening. "Tohru," she looked at him with what looked like stars in her eyes.

"I already feed you every day!" He continued.

"And we don't know how big this…" he looked over at it. It had a devilish look in its eyes; it really looked like Shigure. "…thing will get," she pointed at a little piece of paper on the window.

"Well, it says it's a year old already—it shouldn't grow too much now," he would not win the argument. He just took her hand and looked into the window.

"Then, we're ready?" They both rose and she smiled, looking up at him. He looked a little horrified at the idea, but when he looked down at her, he smiled back.

"Yes! We're gonna have a dog!" She started to laugh. He was already looking around for a shopkeeper. Then, he felt Tohru bump into his arm. "Say," he knew this voice. "we could always name it Shigure," she teased. His eye twitched.

"Never."
