Yuki's VigilYuki Sohma drew back from the screen door and stared out into the night. Why wasn't she home yet? Sighing, he closed the door and returned to the main room.
"Still no sign of Tohru?" Shigure asked, looking up from his book as Yuki entered the room.
"No…" the teen stated, flatly. He kneeled at the table. "Where could she be, it's almost 9:30?"
His older cousin smirked. "Maybe she's rescuing a cat from a tree?"
Yuki's eyes went cold. One look and Shigure's head returned to his book. He shuffled surreptitiously away from the silver haired boy. After all, his Kyo-inflicted bruises were healing up nicely…he didn't want any new ones.
By quarter to ten, Yuki had moved to the entryway. Of course, the roof would have provided a better vantage point, but – it was still his domain. He stared out into the night once more. His purple eyes were fixed on the crest of the hill opposite. Any second and he'd see…
Suddenly, he jerked his head off of his hands. Coming over the hill…
Within seconds, he was on his feet and running. All of his relief was poured into the smile he now wore.
"Miss Honda!" he exclaimed as he approached her. "I've been so worri-"
He broke off abruptly. Now that he was closer, he could see. Tohru's steps were small and faltering. She was doubled over, arms clutching her sides. Everytime she breathed in, her chest seemed to shudder. Her head was down, her brown hair hanging limply over her shoulders. It seemed to be weighing her down. She gave a weak cough, but even this needed a huge amount of effort.
"Yuki," she rasped, almost silently. "I'm – I'm s-s-sorry."
With this, her legs buckled, and she began to fall. Yuki stepped forward. A moment later, she had passed through his arms and landed on the dirt path. A grey rat landed on her forehead. Yuki laid a hand on Tohru's forehead. It was burning.
Okay….first proper cliffie!! What do people think? REVIEWS PLEASE
