"Kyo, have you seen Yuki?" Tohru asked as Kyo sat down for breakfast. "How should I know?" Kyo snapped. "Kyo, can you be nicer to Tohru? You should treat her like the beautiful, blooming flower she is!" the inu kindly scolded the neko. "Damn it. I thought you were at the main house," Kyo muttered. "I'm not needed till noon!!!" Shigure sang as he opened the newspaper. "When are you needed?" Kyo hissed. "Anyways, Yuki is upstairs. Sleeping, as always," the dog said from behind the newspaper.

~*~Yuki's Room~*~

Shigure was right about one thing. Yuki was upstairs but he wasn't asleep. He was awake staring out of his window, watching the snow slowly fall. He saw the trees. Some bare, but the evergreens stood out. Little, green groups dotted the forest, here and there. He turned around and picked up a picture frame from his desk. It was a picture of his mother. One of the people he hated the most, but he still kept her picture.

~*~Back Downstairs~*~

*CRASH!!* "What the hell was that!?!" Kyo muttered as a sudden crash happened upstairs. "Yuki!!!" Tohru yelled as she ran up the stairs. Shigure peeked out of his studio, "What was that, Kyo? I thought you and Yuki were fighting but you're here. You can't defeat Yuki and every door is fine." Tohru entered Yuki's room. A picture frame layed on the floor. It seemed that Yuki threw it against the wall. She picked up the wooden frame. The picture was torn at the corners. She looked over to Yuki. He was sitting on the floor, hugging himself. He was muttering, "No, leave me alone. Stop. Stop. STOP! GET AWAY FROM ME!" "Yuki?" Tohru whispered to him. He opened his eyes. They were faded, searching the room for the source of the voice. "Who's there? Why am I asking? I'm alone...I'm always alone...." Yuki whispered. "Yuki?" Tohru waked closer to Yuki. "Alone...always alone..."
