You've waited, and waited... and waited some more. Now here it is. The official story behind the 'I Would Cry' Songfic. I'll stop blabbing on now, you've waited long enough.

The moment the school bell rang Tohru was out of her seat and rushing off towards the Sohma residence. She had to talk to Kyou immediately. He had remained home from school that morning, opting to sleep in and simply decided that since he would've been late anyways it wasn't necessary to show up at all. All the better, what Tohru had to say couldn't be said at school.

After what seemed like ages, but couldn't have been more than 10 or 15 minutes, Tohru reached the front door of the house. She stopped a moment to catch her breath and smooth her ruffled skirt before walking through the front door. This moment had to be perfect. It would be the single most defining moment in both their lives since the curse had been broken. Ideally she should be wearing something other than her school uniform, but that detail could be ignored.

"Kyou-kun, I'm home" she shouted lovingly as she walked down the hallway, casting her bag aside onto the floor. She walked into the kitchen and grabbed a small plate of onigiri before noticing something odd. She'd been home for several minutes and Kyou hadn't come to greet her. Normally if he was home before her he'd be there the moment she arrived to sweep her into his arms and carry her away to their own personal island of bliss (the couch, the kitchen table... wherever they happened to end up depending on who else was home at the time). Tohru pouted slightly as she bit into the sour umeboshi center of the onigiri, she knew Kyou was probably in his room, she could easily go to him, but this wasn't even close to how she had planned things. As she polished off the last of her afternoon snack she stood up from the kitchen table and began the short walk to the sink in order to wash the dishes. Just as she turned the faucet handle she heard Kyou moaning in ecstasy from his room. Not an altogether unfamiliar sound, but a sound that was never heard without her involvement. She dashed out of the kitchen and down the hallway without even bothering to turn off the sink.

As she reached his doorway Tohru pushed the door open without a second though. Instantly she froze, her eyes fixated on Kyou, and the unfamiliar girl he was entangled with. She didn't know what to do. She couldn't move, she couldn't think, she couldn't blink, she couldn't even breath. It was then that Kyou noticed her standing in the doorway.

He pushed the stranger away, much to her displeasure, and hastily pulled on the boxer shorts that had been laying nearby on the floor.

"Tohru... this isn't what it looks like!" He exclaimed, rousing her from her shock induced stupor. She turned on her heels and ran down the hallway, faster than she'd ever ran before, fighting back tears she didn't want to fall anywhere near him. It wasn't long before Kyou was right at her heels.

"Tohru, please stop. It wasn't what it looks like, I swear!" He grabbed her shoulder and she stopped momentarily, turning just enough to let him see her face. With one look into her eyes he knew that he had shattered everything between them. He tried to pull her closer and muster up some reason for his behavior, and try to explain. But before he had the chance she was once again running off towards the door. He wanted to run after her, to make things right, but he knew that following her would only worsen the situation. What he truly wanted more than anything was to go change the past. Sure, he had done some stupid things in his lifetime but this was by far the stupidest. He slammed his fist against the wall, leaving a gaping hole in the smooth surface. A young blonde girl walked up behind him and tapped him on the shoulder. She opened her mouth to speak, but Kyou interjected before she could.

"Get Out". He shouted at her.

"Huh? But..."

"I SAID GET OUT YOU WHORE, YOU JUST RUINED MY LIFE"

His eyes were angry and the young girl was frighted. She backed slowly towards his room, figuring it would be best to sneak out the window and avoid further confrontation.

Once outside Tohru kept on running. She had nowhere to go so she just let her feet lead. It wasn't long before she arrived at a place she thought she'd never go again. Her feet had taken her to the very spot where she had lived alone in a tent not so many years ago. There were countless memories in this place, some happy, others not so happy. This was the place she had stayed for so long, with only a picture of her mother for company. This was the place where she had been taken from her buried tent when she was invited to stay with the Sohma's on what was originally planned to be a temporary basis. The place she and Kyou had gone on that first night after the curse had been lifted. This was the one place in the world that truly belonged to her, and even that had been tainted by his memory.

Tohru walked just a few steps more. Far enough to reach a nearby tree. She looked down at her stomach, realizing that she had at some point placed her hands upon it.

"I guess this baby will never know it's father" she whispers to herself. It is at this moment that she falls to the ground and let's the tears she'd been holding back for so long flow freely down her face.


Awww... poor Tohru. I hope that chapter was ok... I know it's kinda short but it's longer than the original was and if all goes according to plan this will be by far the shortest chapter. PLEASE REVIEW! It's been awhile, I need to make sure you don't all think I've gotten too rusty. See you next chapter. Much Luv,
