Rain fell gently on the rooftop of Shigure's house. Kyo Sohma rolled over in his bed feeling too weak to get up. Finally he opened his eyes only to have tears fall from them.

He had dreamt of that night again. It had been two years since he had transformed into his true form in front of Tohru. That night had changed his life completely. She had accepted him that night but all he could feel was pain. It reminded him that he was useless, lower than dirt; he was a big reason why there were so many problems with the family. He was the reason his mother had committed suicide wasn't he?

And whether he wanted to admit it or not his time was almost up. It was one week from graduation, and after that he would never see her again. One week left to see her beautiful smile, or feel how soft her skin felt when they held hands, or hear her ramble on about nothing. One week to say goodbye.

He had been in love with her for over three years, ever since she said she wanted to be his friend. From the start he somehow knew she was different than all the others, she never once looked at him in disgust, she never pushed him away when he wanted to talk, in fact most of the time she sought him out.

She had opened the door to his heart, and now that his time was almost up, his heart was beginning to break. There were so many times he had attempted to tell her how he felt but she would just look at him with that confused look and he would just change the subject.

Lying in his bed looking up at his ceiling the cat thought about if he should just let her go. In a week it wouldn't matter if he loved her anyway. She would go on with her life while his life would basically end. Was it right to keep her to himself like that? To tell her I love you then just walk away and expect her to be alone the rest of her life. No, that is no way for her to live. After all, he was the one to be locked up, not her.

Finally he managed to get enough strength to sit up and stretch. He murmured curses under his breath noticing that the rain started falling harder by the second. When he finally stood up his head stared spinning. He felt as if he had not slept for days. Making his way to the bathroom he cursed the rain.

Downstairs Tohru was washing the dishes from breakfast. 'Kyo-kun never came down for breakfast, I hope he's alright,' Tohru Honda thought to herself. She knew she was probably worrying over nothing, seeing as it had been raining cats and dogs outside.

Kyo-kun probably is just feeling worn out like usual on days like this. She couldn't help worrying about him, after all, she was in love with him.

She had been thinking about the past recently, about how they met. That day that he broke through the roof to fight Yuki-kun, and she ended up falling onto him. A smile spread across her face thinking about it, he had been so furious at her. She remembered being really upset when he said he hated her, no one had ever hated her before. That night that he brought her home from work was the first time she saw that he was actually a nice person.

Before she even realized it tears were falling down her face. In one week they would be graduating high school, and he would be confined. She had tried a million different things, but no matter what she could never break the curse. She had let everyone down, Kyo-kun, Yuki-kun, everyone. She was a horrible person, they had done so much for her, and yet she couldn't do one simple thing for them.

Tears continued to flow down her face as she finished the last of the dishes. She was brought out of her thoughts by the sound of the telephone ringing. She made her way towards the phone.

"Hello," she answered. A familiar voice was on the other end. "Oh hello Shishou-san, how are you?" she asked.

"Just fine thank you, could I speak to Kyo for a moment?" he replied.

"Of course, hold on one moment," she said going to find Kyo-kun. Since Kyo-kun wasn't in his room, she knocked on the bathroom door in search for the cat.

"What?" the teenager replied in a low, weak tone. "Shishou-san is on the phone, should I tell him to call ba" but before she could finish the door opened and the tall, orange- headed teenager walked out snatching the phone from her hands.

He walked into his room and slammed the door without thinking about how harsh he had just been to the girl he loved. "Hey Shishou," he said answering the phone.

"What did you need to talk to me about? You know I can go down to the dojo if you want me to." Kyo said starting to get a little worried. "Not quite yet my son," replied the soothing voice.

"I promised that I wouldn't let them lock you up like my grandfather," Kazuma continued. "And I intend to keep that promise; I'm just disappointed that it has come down to this."

"Shishou," Kyo said with a trembling voice. "What do mean? What are you talking about? Tell me!" Kyo yelled into the phone.

"Kyo, pack your things. Tonight at midnight come to the dojo. You and I will go up to the mountains, there Akito can't find you." Kazuma explained.

Kyo didn't know how to react to what he had just heard. He couldn't believe any of this, Shishou was going to save him from confinement. How long had he been planning this?

A million things were going through his head when all of a sudden he remembered the most important thing; Tohru. As if reading his mind Kazuma began again. "You know Kyo; you could always bring Tohru if you wanted to."

As much as he wanted to say yes, he knew he would only be taking her away from the things she wanted most. She had a life after high school. She was going to be successful; she would get married to a man who could support her, and no matter what Kyo could never be that person.

"No," he answered quietly. "Why would I want to bring that girl, what would be the point?"

Kazuma hated it when Kyo was like this, when he treated himself like dirt. Kazuma knew Kyo loved Tohru, It was as obvious as night and day, but he wouldn't push the matter anymore. "Alright I'll see you tonight Kyo, you have until then to tell her goodbye." And with that he hung up the phone.

His last week with Tohru had just turned into his last day. He had one day to spend with Tohru before he would leave, with no intention of returning.
