A/N- I need to stop starting new stories before I finish other ones, but I had this idea and did it anyway. Also, I was told that my story "Remembering Six" was getting off topic and that it is stupid. If you feel that I should either continue or discontinue it, please tell me! Thank you, and read on!

"Tohru? TOHRU!?" Kyo screamed as he ran through the forest at incredible speed. He realized the irony of the situation; he was running around looking for Tohru in the forest. Only, she hadn't turned into the cat's true form, or any other form but her own, for that matter. Kyo took in sharp breaths as he sped past the trees in search for the missing brunette. It was well past midnight, and the moon's beams partially lit the way for Kyo. He had woken up just minutes earlier, only to find Tohru missing. This is the only place he could think of.

"TOHRU!" He screamed in a voice that carried such agony that it scared away any night creatures that had been previously lurking around. Kyo ran over to the pond that he had been beside when he had been in his true form before. He now knelt beside Tohru's limp body that laid beside the water. "Tohru?!" He said in a worried voice as he shook her shoulder to awaken her. Her eyelashes fluttered open and she coughed up a bit of water. At realizing that she was conscious, Kyo immediately began to bombard her with questions.
"Why the heck are you out here?! You could've gotten killed, knowing you! You're soaking wet! Idiot! You know, you could get pneumonia from doing that!". The fire in his eyes simmered down when he realized that he had just taken all of his worried anger out on her. "Look, Tohru, I didn't mean to yell at you...UHG! Just hit me or yell back at me! Anything! Come on!". She didn't respond, she only continued to choke on the water that was in her lungs. He noticed this and began to panic.
'Is she drowning or something?Does she need CPR!?'. He shook the thoughts that could only be answered with common sense out of his cluttered head and leaned over the troubled girl. "I hope I remember how Shishou taught me to do this..." Kyo said anxiously as he began to attempt CPR.

"...mmm..." Tohru grumbled as she sat up slowly in the bed. Her eyes adjusted to her surroundings and she immediately started to panic. She was in Kyo's bed and he sat in a chair nearby looking over at her.
"W-Wha...Kyo? How did I...but wait... What? Was I-" she said, trying to piece everything together. Kyo stood.
"Shut up," he said firmly. Tohru's lips shot together and her eyes were large with anticipation. He walked over to her and knelt beside the bed; putting a hand to her forehead.
"Good. Your fever's gone down.".
"Uhm...Kyo?" She asked, still very confused and scatter-minded.
"I found you out by the pond in the forest about an hour ago. You were soaking and coughing up water, so..." A blush creeped across his face as he stood back up, "I gave you CPR and brought you home...". Tohru turned red and looked nervously down at the blankets.
"Uh, I'll go get you some tea." Kyo said as he creaked the door shut behind him.

'Why do I have to be so much trouble?' Tohru questioned herself, 'Kyo-kun is probably missing out on getting a goodnight's sleep just for me...'. At that moment, the door opened and Kyo walked in with two red cups of tea. Tohru took one and looked down at her reflection in the rippling liquid's surface.
"Kyo, I am very sorry if I've been too much trouble..." 'Tohru, how could you be trouble to me? You are the only person I live for. You make me happy. Not many other people could ever do that, not to me.'. These are the words Kyo longed to speak, but simply couldn't.
"Yeah. It's okay." He muttered instead. After they both awkwardly took sips of their beverages, Kyo looked up at Tohru and asked the question that had been lingering in his head for almost thirty minutes.
"Hey...why were you out there anyway?". Tohru looked up from her cup and tried to recollect the images of the previous hour in her cluttered mind.
"Well...uhm, honestly, I have no idea."
"WHAT THE HECK!? HOW COULD YOU NOT KNOW!? YOU WERE OUT THERE FOR SOME REASON, RIGHT!?" Kyo screamed, annoyed by her oblivious answer. Her eyes shrunk in fright at his outburst then filled with tears. "I-I'm sorry, Kyo-kun...I just don't remember anything about it. The last thing I remember is going outside to bring in the shoes that Shigure had left in the front yard...then it's blank." She said as a warm tear traced her face. Kyo caught the year with his finger and ruffled her hair with a sigh.
"Get some sleep. You need it.". With that, he left the room. Tohru didn't know if she was supposed to take any offense to his comment, but she just smiled and settled in under the blankets.

-flashback-

'Oh, so you choose him over me? That's how you really feel...'. The mysterious figure continued to come closer to Tohru. The edge in his voice scared her.
'If I can't have you, then neither can he.' He bashed her in the head and dragged her to the pond in the forest. The moon illuminated the way and within five minutes, they had arrived at their destination.
'P-Please, let me go! I'm not a very good swimmer!'
'No worries. It's good that you're not.' The voice confirmed. He dunked Tohru into the water and left her there to drown.
'Forgive me not, Miss Honda.'.
