Chp. 1
Waiting
Night settled in upon the peaceful home within seconds after watching the sunset. The dark shadow caste down on everything, making even the dim light from inside look small. Tohru sat on her bed brushing through her hair as she stared out at the night sky. For the past few weeks she had stayed up late just gazing through her window wishing for time to slow down. But the days raced on and she knew that one day it would have to happen.
She broke her gaze from the darkness and placed the brush onto the nightstand beside her bed. Standing up, she headed towards the door. Mom, if we can't be together forever, please make this time I have left with him be memorable. Tohru turned the door knob and carefully closed the door making sure no one heard her leave. Tip toeing down the hallway, she made her way outside.
Kyo lay on the roof with his hand on his stomach. The stars above gave him all the light he needed and the chirping around him were a constant reminder of what he would miss. He was having trouble sleeping knowing that the end was near. Why did I have to come to this place? How could I have been so stupid to have wished for a better life? To have even thought a future beyond what I knew would happen. He took his hand from his stomach and covered his eyes with it. He had been thinking of so many things, but knew he only wanted one of them to come true. No matter the circumstances, he only wanted-
A rustle of foot steps came from below and Kyo sat up. He knew it was Tohru, so he wiped away his current emotion to reveal nothing. A moment later, the top of a latter was seen on the roof and a frightened Tohru climbed up the steps.
"Tohru, you're still awake? It has to be about two in the morning!" Kyo looked at her and smiled hoping to see her blush at him and go on about some excuse. She only gave a quick smile though. Then she crawled her way next to him and sat down looking up at the sky.
"Kyo, I-" She stuttered. She wasn't sure how to tell him.
"What is it? Are you okay? You're not running on of your fevers again, graduations in a couple of days."
"N-No, it's nothing like that. I-I'm not sick." She squeezed her eyes and buried her head. "It's just."
Kyo looked at her in surprise. It hadn't been awhile since Tohru acted this way. The past few weeks had been so much fun. They had done so many things together and suddenly he felt as though something was wrong. Does she know?
He placed his hand on her head to try and comfort her. With the curse, he could not comfort her in any other way. Not only had it brought him with problem, it would also bring him the burden of loosing the one thing he wanted most.
Startled by his action, Tohru lifted her head just a little. It was enough for Kyo to see that she was crying. With a face full of tears she attempted to smile but found herself bury her face again. Kyo couldn't help but want to tell her everything. So many days had gone by that he wished for a moment like this to tell her everything about his past. Now wasn't the best time, though. I need to wait. I can't put her through anymore pain. He placed his arm around her shoulder.

By the next morning, Kyo awoke to find himself alone on the roof with a blanket clutched in his hand. Sitting up he looked around. How typical of Tohru. He smiled and made his way down the latter.
Tohru stood in the kitchen holding a plate of food. "Good morning Kyo!" Her face lit up as he walked into the room.
He smiled. Just as he was about to reply, Yuki stepped into the room.
"Good morning Miss Honda." Yuki glared at Kyo and then gave Tohru a smile.
"Ah uh. I'm not hungry!" Kyo stormed off down the hall and slammed the door to his bedroom. For how long could he put up with this?
"Oh Kyo. I'm going to have to bring his breakfast to his room I guess."
Yuki frowned. He realized how much Tohru really cared for Kyo. Her face gave everything away. "Miss Honda, I wouldn't worry too much about it. I'll see to it he receives his breakfast."
"Th-Thank you so much Yuki." She gave a quick bow and carried on with what she was preparing.
"Oh me oh my! The sweet sent of Tohru's breakfast has woken me and lifted my soul to heaven. Isn't it so sad that in just a week I will have to part with my precious flower!" Shigure gave a sniffle and then settled himself down at the table with a grin.
"Do you have to continue with that every morning?" Yuki rolled his eyes and walked into the kitchen to help Tohru with the food. "Miss Honda, if you'd like, I'll take Kyo's plate to his room right now?"
"Yes, why thank you Yuki. I was really hoping that Kyo would spend breakfast with us."
"I know. Sometimes I just want to know what that stupid cat is thinking." He took the plate Tohru handed him and made his way down the hall.
"Now Yuki, don't drop that!"
"Shut up!"
