Momiji fell asleep with his head in ayame's lap.

Ayame stayed awake untill he saw Akito leave. He then shifted and then picked Momiji up and then walked over and then laied him down on the mat and sighed. He wanted to curl up with him. He hated sleeping alone. But noone liked it when he did that. He sighed and then went to pulled back from the sleeping boy.

Momiji instinctively reached out and pulled ayame down with him.

Ayame gasped and then smiled and then carfully stripped off his out layer and then tossed it aside and then curled up with Momiji smiling. He felt the warmth of his smaller body seep into his. He grinned and then wrapped his arms around him and then nuzzled down to fall asleep.

"Isn't that wonderful Shigure? They're so good for each other." Tohru sighed happily to the Dog beside her.

Shigure nodded. "Yes. But the age difference." He said. "And If anything does happen. Akito can not find out about it." He said looking to Tohru. "Come one. Lets go to bed also." he said then closed the door the Yuki's room and then turned and then walked down the stiars to his room. Turning in for the night.

Tohru nodded. "I'll never let anything happen to those two. They deserve to be happy." She vowed.

Ayame snuggled closer agianst Momiji taking in his smell and he smiled softly as the sun beamed into the window. He sighed and then huggled Momiji closer.

Tohru yawned widely as she headed down to make breakfast for everyone.

Shigure smiled then took his glasses off. "Morning Tohru." He said then put his book and mpapers away. "Seen the other two yet?"

"Not yet. But I'm not going to disturb them from their much needed sleep. I've noticed how tired Momiji has been lately." Tohru replied.

Shigure nodded. "Yea. And Ayame has been off a little too." He admitted. then sat down and smiled. "So we can just leave them for now."

Tohru frowned. "I don't like how upset they looked when akito came in." She said softly.

"Yea." Shigure said. Kinda just noticeing it. "They were pretty upset." He said, then looked down and sighed. "Always upseting us." he said softly.

Tohru shook her head. "Shigure I don't like the fact that Akito showed up here yesterday." She said softly.

"Yea. I for sure don't understand it myself." Shigure said then adjusted his seating and then sighed. "He's up to something. ANd for once It wasn't my doing." He said then looked up to the stairs. As he heard a door open and close. "Someone is awake." He said.

Momiji yawned as he came downstairs rubbing his eyes. "Morning Shii-chan. Tohru." He mumbled.

"Ayame-san still sleeping?" Shigure asked Momiji as he walked in.

"What a beautiful morning. What a beauitful day!" Came the sing-song voice of Ayame as he walked down the stairs. "Tohru, love." He said as he walked into the room. "May I please, please borrow your brush. My hair is a mess." He said, his long silver hair pulled back with a string. It sticking up here and there.

"Pfftheeheeheeheehee. Sure you can Aya." Tohru giggled. Momiji went and got it from Tohru's room. "C'mere Aya." He laughed.

Ayame smiled. "Thank you all so much." He grined then walked over to Momiji and then sat down on the floor and smiled and then pulled the strip from his hair and sighed. "There ya go." He said. "Be gental." he added.

Momiji began brushing his his hair, carefully getting all the tangles out.

Ayame almost hissed at the feel of someone else brushing his hair. "Momiji." He hissed softly. "Feelssss good." He said smiling, his eyes closed softly.

Momiji and Tohru giggled while the brunette brought the food to the table.

"Ayame-san. Watch it." Shigure. Said then adjusted his robes and then smiled at the food.

Ayame pouted. "Yea. yea." He said then shifted and smiled and ran his hand through his hair. "Thank you Momiji." He said then moved and sat down at the table.

Tohru dug her elbow into Shigure's ribs as she passed him. But she never stopped her smile though so she looked quite innocent.

Shigure sighed and then rubbed his ribs. He then coughed and then sighed. "Yea yea." He said.

Ayame smiled at Momiji. "Join us." he smiled then held his hand out to him.

Momiji took a seat between Tohru and Ayame.

"Thank you Tohru." Ayame said to her as he then begin to eat the breakfast. He was really hungary. Having skipped out on dinner last night.

Shigure smiled. "Good as always."

Tohru smiled. "I'm glad to cook for you guys. This is my home you know. Thankfully this is summer break." She giggled.

"Yes and tomorrow I must return to my shop." Ayame said as he ate softly. He shifted and then adjusted his hair and moved it behind his back.

"Take Momiji-kun with you. He needs to get away from the Estate for a while. He can stay with you and Mine-chan." Tohru said almost commanding him.

Ayame looked over to Momiji with a mouth full of rice. He then swollowed and smile to Momiji. "You may stay with me." He said. "We can go by and get some of your things." he said.

Momiji nodded since he had his mouth full of food. "Good. Good. We'll see you in a few days." Tohru said.

Ayame smiled. "It will be nice to have someone else around the shop." he said softly. "And Mine-chan I'm sure wont mind." He said softly. SMiling brightly.

Shigure sighed. He then looked to Tohru. She was kinda pushing this a little. ANd wondered what she was up to.

Tohru nodded happily and resumed eating.

Late after breakfast Ayame was sitting on the porch outback. He brushed the hair behind his shoulder and looked up at the day sun.

"I'm ready to leave Aya." Momiji said.

Ayame jumped then nodded he then stood and smiled. "Okay then." He said then smiled to Shigure in the window and then headed down the pathway to Momiji's house to get some more things for him to stay with him.

Tohru smiled as she watched them leave together.

Ayame ruffled Momiji's hair as they disapeared from sight from Shigure's home.

"Why do you think I'm planning something Shigure?" Tohru asked without turning around to face him.

"Just hope that Akito Doesn't fin out." Shigure said. Then sighed. "But We shall see what comes of it." He said then smiled at her.

"Are you going to tell him Shigure?" Tohru asked quietly.

"No." Shigure said then turned back to go inside. "I'm sure Aya-san knows." He said then walked back in and sighed.

"Then you won't tell Akito? I think I need to speak to Kureno then." Tohru chirped.

"No." Shigure. SAid. "And why tell him." he said. "I mean really. Why push then together then tell someone that will tell Akito to hurt them and break then apart." He said then looked in on Tohru.

"Have some faith in me Shigure. I didn't do all that work just to tear them apart. I'm not telling Kureno that those two are together. Don't be stupid." Tohru said.

Shigure waved his hand and then smiled. "Sorry my bad." he said then shrugged. "How wrong of me to think of something like that." He said.

Tohru frowned. "What are you up to?" She demanded.

"Nothing." Shigure said. "Why would I be up to something." he said then smiled at her. Wondering what they are doing.

Tohru laughed flatly. "You're always up to something Shigure. But for now we'll drop this little issue until something else comes up." She replied softly as she took the dishes into the kitchen to wash them.

Ayame sighed as he waited for Momiji. "COme on." He called out and sighed then moved his hair behind his shoulder and then adjust the bag in his hand of his stuff.

Momiji skipped up to his side and beamed at him. "Thank you for letting me stay with you." He said happily.

"More then welcome." Ayame said then headed across the street to his shop. He sighed as he walked in. He inhaled and smiled. "Home." He whispered.

"Your house is pretty." Momiji said.

Ayame smiled then walked over to the back and then headed up some stairs. "Mine must not be here." He said then knocked on the door. Nothing. He shrugged. He then walked farther down the hall on the upper floor. He then pushed the door open. "Your room momiji." He said with a smiled, then walked in to set down the bags.

"Thank you Aya!" Momiji cheered.

Ayame nodded then hugged him a little. "Let me know if ya need anything. anything at all." He said then turned to leave him.

"Maybe I will." Momiji chuckled.

Ayame smiled then nodded and then turned to walk out of the room. heading to his sewing machine. Leaving the door cracked as he then got started.

Tohru washed dishes silently.

Shigure peeked in then walked in and then helped her dry and put them away.

"Thank you for the help." Tohru said.

"Of course." Shigure said. "It's my house...so I should help." he said. THen placed the bowls away.

"You've never before. Why now?" Tohru asked curiously.

"Cause it's quiet around here." Shigure said, then put a few more things away and then shrugged agian. "I like the company." He said. "Unless you don't want me to help."

"That's not it at all Shigure!" Tohru cried softly.

Shigure looked to her placing another dish away and smiled at her. "Good. Cuase I enjoy helping you." He sid.

Tohru smiled. "What have I done? Momiji and ayame. I must be out of my mind." She said softly.

Shigure shrugged and then reached out and then pulled back and started to dry the dish. "I'm not sure." He said very very softly. As to more so himself then to her.

Tohru smiled. "God. I must be some kind of masochist. I'm just asking Akito to punish me or something." She said softly as she shook wtih silent laughter or tears. She wasn't sure just yet.

Shigure looked over at her and then tilted his head. "Tohru? Are you okay?" He said then reached out and placed his hand softly on her shoulder.

"I'm not sure just yet. We'll see ne?" Tohru replied.

Shigure pulled his hand back and then rubbed her back softly and then smiled. "Okay." He said then smiled. "I have some work to tend to..." he said then started off after putting the last dish away.

tohru nodded. "I have homework." She groaned.

Shigure nodded then kissed her head. "Have fun with that." He said then walked from her and then headed for his room to look for the book he had ben working on.

Tohru smiled and went to her room to start her homework.

"Momiji!?" Ayame called peeking into the room. "I'm going to the store. Did you want anything? Or to come with maybe." He said smiling softly.

"Of course I want to come. Let me get my messenger bag. We have to stop by the library on the way back from the store ok?" Momiji replied.

"That's fine." Ayame said and then moved hair from his face and cursed softly. His pin cousion was still on his writs. He said and then walked over quickly to the room, dropped it off and took his smock off and smiled. "COme on." he smiled and then walked down the stairs and then headed for the door to slipp on shoes.

Momiji giggled. "You're so funny sometimes Aya." He said.

"What can I do. I got lost in food." Ayame said softly.

Momiji gigged some more as he followed the Snake out the door.

Ayame hummed as he walked down the street and then into the store and sighed. 'What to get?" he pondered and then grabbde a basket and then headed around to grab things.

Momiji followed cheerfully. Some of the sales people thought he was adorable.

Ayame hummed about as he pulled some things into the basket and then stopped infront of the cookies..."Do you like cookies Momiji?" He asked him softly.

"Yes. I like those ones with the chocolate on them." Momiji replied.

Ayame smiled softly and then grabbed two different kinds. He personally didn't care for cookies. He was more of a cake person. He then hummed back to his tune and then went looked for real food to feed them.

Tohru finished her homework and decided to have a snack and some tea.

Shigure was in the kitchen drinking tea softly. He looked up and smiled at her. "Oh. Hello."

"Oh Shigure. Didn't see you there." Tohru said as she made herself a cup of her mother's special tea.

'it's alright." Shigure said and then pulled his glasses off anf then placed his book to the side with his glasses

"So...when are the boys supposed to be home?" Tohru asked.

"Some time a little later today." Shigure said, then took a sip of the tea he was drinking.

"I wonder how they'd react to the real me....not the airheaded twit I pretend to be for the sake of their prides." Tohru wondered aloud as she drank her tea as well.

"I enjoy it. Very down to earth." Shigure said. "I'm sure they wont be to bothered." He said.

Tohru snorted disbelievingly. "Right. They'd be so shocked they might do something stupid." She said. "But I'm glad it doesn't bother you." She added.

Shigure smiled then took another sip of his tea. "Eh? If not then it's their fault."
