"I was having fun without them here for me to look after! He is too irresponsible and she needs too much medically!"
"OH, OKAAY!!" At that Momiji leaves Hatori to himself again.
Hatori looked around and waited for a bit. No body came so he began to read agian.
He had begun to drift off to sleep when Ayame called, "WHAT!?" asked Hatori when he answered the phone, he was clearly peeved.
"Well 'hello' to you too! I just thought that you might know when Shigure is getting back, you don't have to be so mean to me!"
"You'll be fine, your giant ego cushioned the blow."
"You're right I'm fine."
"Can I go now?!"
"Oh yes! Sleep my little lovely!"
"I TOLD YOU not TO CALL ME THAT!"
"Okay, okay! Bye-bye!" Hatori hung-up and went back to his bed, soon he had fallen asleep.

He was gone, she'd missed her chance. As she sulked away Momiji skipped rather quickly past her. As he passed she caught a glimps of a confused aura, but she just kept walking.
