"Why here?"

Sohma Ayame smiled flamboyantly, hearing the annoyance in his younger brother's voice, "Come now, Yuki," He gestured eagerly to the waitress coming towards them with a friendly expression, "We are here to admire the maid uniforms!"

"That's it," Sohma Yuki's brow twitched and he turned back towards the door, "I'm going home." He said in a flat voice, already irritated with his older brother's presence.

"Welcome! I am Higurashi Kagome," Kagome greeted, stilling almost immediately once she reached the two males that had entered the café, 'Strange auras,' She blinked, 'They seemed to be somewhat possessed.'

"Oh, sweet Maid-chan~" Ayame grabbed her hand enthusiastically, startling her, "How are you enjoying the uniform?" He asked with a glint in his golden eyes, "They are one of my designs after all!"

Both Kagome and Yuki stared at him for a moment, clearly surprised at the information, "It's..." The Miko struggled with her words, "So the skirt was always meant to be this short?" She asked as her eyes slightly twitched.

She had just always assumed the skirt's length was Shippou's perverted doing...

Ayame seemed to sparkle(?) as he opened his mouth, about to respond to her question when Yuki violently pushed him out of the way, looking even more irritated than before.

"I apologise in advance for this man's behaviour," Yuki bowed, "I will do my best to keep him in line, Kagome-san." He looked back up with his violet eyes, feeling something in him shudder in the presence of this girl.

"It's not a problem," Kagome smiled, though it was a bit strained as she watched as Ayame whined in exaggeration about Yuki 'shoving such beauty', 'I just noticed he sort of resembles Sesshoumaru...'

And wow, that was disturbing.

"Perhaps we should come back another time." Yuki said warily, glancing over to two other tables as he felt glares piercing into his person.

"Oh, don't mind Aomine," Kagome rolled her eyes, glaring over at his table as he let out an irritated noise, "He doesn't like me talking to other guys for some reason," Her voice lowered, "And Misaki-chan isn't fond of men talking to me either."

"Ah, I see..." Yuki smiled, feeling that Kagome was a pleasant person and that Tohru would certainly enjoy her company.

"If you would follow me to your table..." Kagome began, but let out a surprised noise when Ayame moved quickly to catch her attention again, though he managed to trip over his own feet in the process.

"Watch out!" Yuki called out in alarm and his eyes grew wide as his brother fell into the girl, knocking them both over in the process. He closed his eyes, waiting for the puff of smoke, transformation, and the surprised scream from Kagome.

Only none of it happened.

'What!?' Both Yuki and Ayame thought as the latter stayed in his human form while Kagome managed to pull herself up from underneath the elder Sohma and offered him a hand up, 'What happened!?'

"Thank you," Ayame said dazedly as Kagome pulled him up to his feet, "I'm fine." He answered as she asked if he was okay.

"Oi, don't touch my Maid-chan!" Aomine stood up, cracking his knuckles, though he let out a snort when Kagome glared at him, clearly warning him to stay down.

Misaki silently agreed with Aomine, though without the 'my maid' part.

"Come on, I'll get you some tea to start." Kagome said, leaving the front room as the two brothers finally sat down at their table, though neither were able to rip their eyes away from her.

Why didn't the curse work with her?
