Kyou watched Tohru plant some flowers in Shigure's front yard, while Shigure lounged by the front door.

"What are those?" Kyou asked.

"Chrysanthemums," Tohru said.

Kyou raised an eyebrow. "Who's Chris, and what does this have to do with his mother?"

"No, Kyou," said Tohru. "C-R-Y... no, wait, that's not right."

Kyou turned back to Shigure. "Hey, 'Shakespeare'! How do you spell chrysanthemums?"

"C-H-R-Y-S-A-N-T-H-E-M-U-M-S," Shigure said effortlessly.

Tohru gave Shigure a round of golf-claps. "Not bad," Kyou admitted reluctantly.

Shigure stood tall and tugged at his kimono. "And THAT," he said smugly, "is why I'm the head of the house."
