~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~With Takuma~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~

I looked around the room as I rested waiting for Togy to come back. 'I wonder what my mom would have said if she was
here maybe she's been in this kind of situations, mom I miss you so much.' I thought as I turned over and cried a little.
'Damn I'm crying after all this time? How pathetic?!' I screamed at myself.

'Ruff, ruff.'

'Togy!' I screamed. He came over to me and licked my cheek. I looked at him and then remembered that I had been
crying. "Oh, it-its nothing! Really!" I sat up and waved my hands. "Besides, did you find him?" Togy nodded his head and
got up and pulled on my sleeve telling me to get up and follow. I got up and changed then hurried after him. Swiftly,
Togy ran through the halls and then out of the house and towards the front gate. "Togy, wait up I have to do something
first." I called after him.

He stopped and returned to my side. I pulled out a piece of paper and pen I grabbed off of Hatori's desk incase it
was away from the house. I walked over to a table and sat down. (Hatori had told me he had to take care of someone else in
the house so he'd be a while.) On the letter I wrote:


Dear Hatori:
I'm sorry but I have to go. I'll be back later. Don't worry about me I have Togy with me he won't let anything bad happen
to me. I should be back by 8 o'clock. But if I'm not then you can worry if you want ^-^.
Love,
Takume.


"Okay, Togy let's go. "I said as I set the note on his desk in my room on his desk. Togy then took off and I was soon
to follow him to the gate. I helped him up and over the top of the gate and then we were running through the streets
looking for Ayame.

"Togy, are you sure we're going the right way?" I asked unaware of where we were. He just looked at me and kept on
walking. We came upon a fabric store. With a cute sign with flowers on it. "Yup that reminds me of Ayame..." I said with
a sweat drop. "H-hello? Is anyone here?" I yelled into the store.

"Back here mame, I"ll be with you in a second. AH!" Yelled a lady then there was a crash, Togy and I ran back to see
if she was alright.

"Are you all-right?" I asked when I lifted her up off of the floor.

"Yes, thank you." She said as she picked up her glasses. "Are you here to buy something or order?" she asked politely.

"Oh, Meme! (Not sure what Aya's assistant's name is.) Can you come here a minute?" Someone with a familiar voice came
out of the backroom.

"Ayame! It's you! I've been looking for you!" I said and I started to run towards him.

"T-takuma?! How did you find me?" He asked baffled. I pointed towards Togy and he nodded his head. "Does Hatori know
you left?"

"No, he had to take care of someone else at the house and so I left a note saying that I was going out with Togy so
he wouldn't worry. Wow, Ayame! What a nice store. Is it yours?" I asked astonished.

"Yup, and this is my lovely assistant, Meme." Ayame said as he pulled Meme in front of himself. I bowed in respect
and introduced myself she too did the same.

'Hm so...does he like her? I'll ask him later.' I wondered when he had said 'lovely assistant'. "So, Ayame I was
thinking about going back to the house. Do you mind?" I looked at him and saw a little bit of hurt in his eyes. "B-but I
don't have to go back right now!"

Ayame just looked at me but didn't say anything.

'Come on this isn't fair! It's not like I'm never going to see him again.' I was still worried that he still thought
that I was going to forget him so I smiled and said, "Don't worry Ayame I'm not going to forget your promise. I'll come
visit you every week, okay?" He still didn't look to happy, he looked like he was lonely.

"So....are you going back to Kyo?" Those words cut me deeply. 'Why...why did he ask me that?'

He kept looking at me until Meme inturupted our heart-wrentching conversation. "Um, Takuma? Do you want to look at
some of our items? Right this way." She led me way so fast I couldn't catch the tear that slid down Ayame's cheek.

"Thank you" Ayame whispered. And then slipped into the back to collect himself.

Meme and I were now looking at some fine clothing pieces, but my mind still concintrated on the one thing that Ayame
said, 'Are you going back to Kyo?' It sent shivers up and down my spin everytime I replayed the words in my head. "So,
are you and Ayame going out?" I asked without looking at her.

"Huh? Where did you get that idea from?" She looked at my slumping form.

I couldn't bear look at her right now. "Oh, well you two seem really close. And he said "LOVELY assistant", so I
figured..." I couldn't finish what I was saying it was too painful.

"O-oh no, no!! You've got it all wrong. I just work with him." She said as she looked at me. "You're the one he
really likes. He told me himself, but it's none of my buisness." She then looked down and got really quiet.

"Do you like him?" I asked as I looked at her. "You do, don't you? I can tell by the way you talk about him."

"Well, acctually I don't like him like that. I'm just worried about him. He's been through so much and I think this
might be the hardest yet." She confessed with a heartbreaking grin. 'She really does care about him. I feel so bad right
now.'

"I-I'm so sorry...I didn't know. I know it's hard but I can't help it right now I'm so confused, my feelings keep
switching thier minds. I-I feel like I'm being ripped apart because I can't make up my mind. Their both so precious to me
Ayame he's so nice and I know he can take care of me but then there's also Kyo I owe him so much. He saved my life but
then again so did Ayame. Do you see they've both done so much for me and I like both of them so much but....GOD DAMNIT!!"
I yelled as I got more and more frustrated by the whole thing.

We both stood there just taking in the quietness. "Wow, I can't even imagen how hard that must be but you should
take your time to think this over very carefully. I'll be here to help you too!" She said with a bright smile that made
me a little bit more relaxed.

"Thank you! I really apriciate this!" I said and hugged her. "I'm so glad I met you."

"Me too!" Meme repleyed with tearful eyes.

~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~With Ayame and Togy~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~

Ayame was sitting at his desk with one of the most loneliest frowns. Togy had snuck into the room when Meme had
pulled his master away. Togy slowly walked over to Ayame and whinned to get the attention of his masters crush. "Hey,
Togy. You must think that I'm pretty sad that I'm upset over such a petty incident, huh?" Ayame said as he petted Togy's
head. Togy understood and shook his head. Togy had come to like this man alot and was convinced that this man was a good
husband for his master. (Woh! Hold up a HUSBAND?! What is Togy thinking?!)

"Heh, your really smart Togy. You must be really proud of Takuma." But when Ayame said that you could see a slight
flicker of jealousy flash though his eyes. Togy cocked his head to the side in a motion of asking 'whats wrong'? "Huh? Oh
it's just you're very lucky that she likes you so much." Ayame stated very painfully.

All Togy could do is just sit there and comfort the man and hope the best of luck to him.

~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~With Takuma and Meme~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~

"How about we go check on Ayame now, okay?" Meme asked me as she finished checking me out. (I had bought some
material so that I could make some thing to cheer up Ayame.)

"Okay, we'll go together! Let's go!" I said as we walked to the back of the store and headed to a closed door that
led to the office in which belonged to Ayame. "Hey, Ayame are you in here?" I asked as I poked my head in to see if he
was here. All of a sudden I was pushed into the room and I heard the door lock behind me. 'Huh?' I turned around and saw
that Meme was not behind me and confirmed my hearing sences that the door did close and it was locked. 'What the heck?!
Why am I in a room alone with Ayame? Oh, crap! Now I'm nervous. Help.'

I looked around the room and indeed it was an office. In this room there was a desk, a laptop on the desk, some pens,
paper work, and one of those things that you put clothes on so you can see it on something and so you can make some
alterations on the clothing. Sitting at the desk with his back towards me was Ayame and sitting next to him was Togy.
Togy came over to me and I petted his head. But then he went back over to Ayame. Ayame then got up and walked over to me
but he didn't look me in the eyes.

"U-Um Ayame? Wha.." Is all I could say until he reached up with his warm hand and captured my chin and lifted it up
and his face got closer until his lips met with my own. But strangely this time when he kissed me it was so much more
passionate (SP) then when we last kissed. He slowely let go of my chin, while still kissing me, and brought it down to my
arm and slowely slid down to my hand. Soon his other hand started to move and it traveled up my body to my hair. My hair
was like silk they way he played with it. My body was on fire, it was melting under every movement that he made.

Togy was just sitting at the desk watching as the event went on, glad that Ayame had finally decided to make a move to
further help her decsion.

Soon we parted to catch our breaths but not long after we caught our breaths he again made an unexpected move to change
the move once again. He slowely brought his hand that held my hand and brought it to behind me to rest on my back and his
other hand soon joined it's twin. He pulled me closer and our bodies met. 'My heart is racing I don't know if I can keep
a normal breath. He's....He's so much more........softer and gentler. I really like this.' I heard him take in a deep
breath as he took in the scent of my hair. (If you can't tell we're hugging right now and remember he's taller them me to
so yeah, my chin should barely reach his his shoulder. Yeah that sounds right.)

Then he led me over to a couch that I didn't see when I first looked around the room. "Takuma, it's really painful for
me to be apart from you. I'm sorry if I'm moving to quickly but I've never fallen in love with someone like this and I
know that your the one that I can enjoy my life with. I'll wait forever for you. I love you , Takuma and no one else." He
had such serious eyes that I couldn't take another breath. I was stunned I'd never believe that he liked, no loved me so
much.

"Oh, Ayame." Was all I could say at the moment. I really did like him but I couldn't say I loved him just yet but I'm
pretty sure that I'll be able to say it soon. But for now I was not going to lie about how I feel about him. "Oh, Ayame! I
like you too! But I have to make sure of something first then I'll make my decsion. But I really like you alot. And I
know that you can make me really happy and I know that in my heart."

"Yes." Was all he said but I saw that he was really happy and he smiled with such a cute face. For the next hour we
talked about everything and while we did so he held me in his arms on the couch. We were so comfortable it was nice and
warm and romantic.

~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~With Kyo~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~

"So where is Takuma?" Kyo asked Hatori as he waited patiently for an answer. Kyo had taken off to Hatori's a while
ago to find that Takuma wasn't there. He had come to ask her if she'd like to go horseback riding with him soon but to his
dismay she had left earlier and Hatori had just arrived from taking care of Akito.

Hatori read the letter carefully and understood easily but was still a little uncomfortable anyways. He wondered where
she might of gone off to. "Hatori!" Kyo yelled impatiantly. Hatori had forgotten that Kyo was there.

"I'm not sure the letter just says that she has left with Togy and that I shouldn't worry and that she should be back
before 8 otherwise nothing about where she went." Hatori read but summerised for Kyo.

"Damn it! That tells me nothing." Kyo said as he let his frustration out. He couldn't believe that this was
happening to him. 'What bad luck! Where are you, Takuma?'

*Ring, Ring*

"Huh, the telephone?" Hatori said as he got up and went to answer it. "Who could it be?" Kyo watched as Hatori left
the room but he kept concentrated on who it would be.

Hatori finally made it to the phone and picked it up and said, "Hello. This is Hatori Sohma."

*"Hello, Hatori!"*

"Takuma!"

Author's Notes: Hello thanks so much for the reviews! I'll be straight with you, I haven't been in the writting mood and so
I didn't care about this story and I was going to give up on it but I found the spark of writting a good story again! I'm
sure that I'm still going to take a while to write a chapter but you'll know that I'm going to work hard on it and it'll be
good. It might be a while before this story is finished but I'm not going to drag it along like some authors do. Because
I know that then the story turns into a boring one at that. I'm thinking of working on another story after this one. I'll
try and write soon. Bye! Love you all! Please review! I love them just as much as writting stories. ^-^ Kisses ^+^
