Dislcaimer: I DO NOT own Fruits Basket.

A/N: I just thought I'd try something like this. Tell me what you guys think!

"I finally understand what you must go through, Haa-san," I said into Ayame Sohma's cell phone. I heard another shout of praise from inside my office, and I rolled my eyes.

"Yes, my cousin is quite a story, isn't he?" Hatori asked. It was nice to hear him being so friendly with me.

"Indeed." I sighed, moving a little farther from the door. Those students were being incredibly loud. "It was a nice moment, though. When Yuki called Ayame reliable."

"It's nice to see the two of them finally realizing how much they need each other," Hatori agreed. "Well... probably not so much right now..."

I giggled. "Not really."

"He hasn't destroyed your office, has he?"

"I wouldn't know even if he did."

"Well, watch yourself around him. He can be quite perverse sometimes..."

I caughed, but tried not to make it sound like my breath had been caught in my throat. Was he worrying over me? "I suppose I should go take back my office now."

"I should be going as well," Hatori said. "I never really know what kind of work I have to do until it is mandatory that I do it."

I smiled, wondering what type of trouble his patients were getting into. "Hey, take care of yourself, ok, Haa-san? Don't get too tense with that job of yours."

I heard him let out a small 'hmm'. "I'll talk to you later, Mayuko-chan."

I hung up, a little dissapointed. He hadn't called me Mayu, like he used to. Although, I wouldn't blame him. It had been two years, and the last time he called me by that name, I had told him that it was bold. Knowing Hatori, he'd take it too harshly and watch his words around me.

Stupid, stupid, stupid...
