Chapter 1: News

"In other news today two teens were killed in a drive by shooting in downtown Tokyo. They were identified to be between the ages of 15 and 16. As you can see on either side of your television screen their photos are posted. The blonde on my right is Arisa Uotani, and the dark headed girl on my left is Saki Hanajima. Donations will be set up later in the week for their funerals and visitations, other news coming up after the break. That is all." ended the newsreporter.

A silent figure sat in front of the television screen, quiet and still. Her body was trembling in disbelief as she replayed the broadcast in her mind. Tears suddenly began to flow from her ducts as she held her head in her palms. She then looked once more at the television, only to find that her worst nightmare was still in full effect as it's contents took their toll on her.

"Oh….God." she cried.

After the funerals of her two lost friends were over, Tohru had no more will left to live. She locked herself up inside her room and stared at the nicely taken picture of the three happy faces surrounded by a wooden frame. Two of those happy faces were never to be seen again, and the third happy face was now having her life drained away from grief. Tohru knew that loathing in her misery wouldn't help anything; she knew that this was making it hard on the others. Shigure, Yuki and Kyo, they were all working so hard just to keep her alive. Without them forcing her to eat her meals she would slowly wither away in pain. During her days cooped up in her room she would reminisce about happier times as the sunshine lit up her pale face.

Knock Knock

"Tohru, it's me." came a familiar voice. "I'm bringing you your lunch."

Tohru blankly looked at her door as it slid open to reveal an orange headed Kyo with a try of food in his hands. He slide the door back with his foot and set her food on her bed.

"You got to eat Tohru."

Tohru shook her head, her august brown hair falling before her eyes. She didn't want to eat.

"Come on Tohru, just some rice. Or some soup?" Kyo tried to persuade Tohru, but he could tell that it wasn't going over easy.

"No." came a faint hoarse voice.

"Why not Tohru? You have to eat something; you can't keep doing this to yourself." Kyo was starting to get impatient.

"No." she whispered.

"Well, I'm not leaving until you eat something."

Tohru tilted her head up to look at him as her hair fell from her face. Behind the curtain of hair that was shadowing her eyes was a disturbing sight. Purple rings flourished under her eyelids and her once bright blue eyes were now dull, and glazed. Her face was pale as paper and her cheeks seemed to be sunken in. And, what used to be rosy red lips were now chapped and ragged with dried skin.

"Awwww, hell! Tohru, you can't keep doing this to yourself! What happened was something that couldn't have been prevented; it's just how the world works!" his angry voice trailed off through the window and into the outside world.

Kyo put his hand over his eyes and massaged the bridge of his nose for a few moments. He regretted that he had yelled at her but he didn't like seeing her this way, it made him miserable. The only reason he was broken from his thoughts was because of a sound. The sound was of chopsticks hitting against a plastic bowl. Tohru had quietly moved toward the rice and began to slowly make it diminish.

"I'm sorry for yelling." apologized Kyo.

"…."

"But, Tohru, you can't do this the rest of your life. Your strong, and your happy personality needs to be shared with the world. I know you've been through some ruff stuff, but, I don't want to see you do this to yourself." Kyo tried to say things that would ignite a spark deep inside. Somewhere he knew the happy go lucky Tohru was still in there, it's just that, he couldn't find her.

"Kyo. I-I need…to forget." she whispered.

"No Tohru, you can't forget. I won't let you."

With that Kyo stood up and took her tray of food back into the kitchen, and put the leftovers in the fridge.

"Yes Kyo. I'm going to forget. I'm sorry."
