AN: Okay, so I only got two reviews last chapter... which is better than nothing... but I didn't like that decrease... I like it when everybody reviews. O. From now on, rather than a date update, I'll update whenever I get four reviews for a chapter. However, I won't update twice in one day. If nobody reviews, I'll update weekly. So (as I have up to chapter 13 written), the more reviews, the quicker you get your update.

Chapter Three- A Minor Confrontation

"What are you here for?" said a snide woman behind the gate.

"I am here to see the head of the family, Akito-san. May I ask who you are? You don't sound familiar."

The woman made a sound that crossed between a sigh, and a snort, "Akito-sama isn't taking visitors."

"Okay... would you let me in to see the doctor, Hatori-san?"

The woman paused, becoming suspicious. "Who are you, anyway? How do you know of these men on the inside? You, I must say, don't sound familiar, either."

"I am Honda Tohru, and it is very important that I see either Akito or Hatori-san."

"Toh-ruuu!" exclaimed the Usagi, seemingly out of nowhere, "What are you doing here at Sohma House?"

Tohru turned around, "Oh! Hello Momiji-kun! I needed to see Akito-san but this woman says that he's not available, so I want to see Hatori..." she gasped for air, "She won't let me in..."

Momiji nodded vigorously at Tohru, knowing it must be important is she came to see Akito, "Hey! I'm Sohma Momiji! Please let myself and my friend, Honda Tohru, inside!"

"Oh - er - sorry, Momiji, sir..." she opened the door, blushing.

"Good luck, Tohru!" said Momiji and began to turn away.

"Wait! Momiji..."

"Yeah, Tohru?"

"I forgot where Hatori-san's house is..."

"Oh... heh heh... okay, I'll be right back, after I put away my things! Just a minute!"

"Okay..." she said, and sat down quietly waiting for the Usagi's return on a bench.
