Thank you for all the reviews and adivse! I hope you like the story so far, don't worry I gets better!

Note: Oh yes and if Kyo is out-cold or not around I don't think I'll be putting it from his point of view!

And if I did forget to mention, it's Kyo's point of view!

Disclaimer: Love it, but don't own it.

Spoliers; but I marked them, don't worry!


Chapter 2: Hard Rain, Harder Feelings

I woke up, fresh and re-energized! Yeah … right! My head still ached, if not even more than when I went to sleep. I looked over at the digital clock in my room. It read 3:33pm? How could that of been right?

Oh yeah … I had taken a nap when Shigure friggin' stuffed 1000 liters of water down my throat. That damned, damned dog. My eyes jolted open when I saw Tohru shyly sneaking a peek into my room.

"Oh!" She gasped, when she noticed I spotted her. "I'm sorry if I'm intruding Kyo-kun!" She added quickly with a clumsy little bow.

Kyo graduation Spoiler!

"Doesn't matter." I whispered, in a voice that was barely audible. And it doesn't matter anymore. The rat has won the most important battle in my life. No, not the battle of whether or not I'm getting locked up … but the battle to your heart. I thought as I gazed at Tohru's chocolate brown hair and icy teal eyes.

Done spoiler!

"I … should get going! I hope you're OK, I'll bring you dinner if you can't come and get it yourself." Tohru—as usual—was thinking of anybody but herself.

"I'm not weak! I can get my own damn dinner!" I snapped.

"Of c-course!" Tohru stuttered and walked away from the room, with her head hanging down in shame.

It figures why she hates me. I can never say anything nice to her. I once again, took out the sharp little pocketknife Hatori and Shigure forgot to confiscate. I unwrapped my bandaged hand and started to feel the sting.

F. U. R. U. B. A.

Tohru sighed as she walked into the kitchen. Luckily no one caught the sigh so they wouldn't ask if she was feeling all right and so on. Cleaning in motionless circles, Tohru couldn't help but wonder to herself. Kyo … is acting strange. He even looked sad; no matter how hard he tries to hide it beneath that scowl. Why was his hand all wrapped up? Oh my God! I was too stupid not to even ask! Oh no!

"Oh, Honda-san … you're not busy are you?" Yuki asked kindly to his girlfriend as he quickly stole a kiss from her. Tohru blushed.

"No, not at all. Would you like to go down to your secret base?" Tohru asked, curious to why Yuki would be asking her if she had plans.

"I … um, that is … I er—Toh …Tohru? Would y-you like to go to the … the …" Stuttering, Yuki was lost for words. "Movies!" He finally chocked out. Literally.

"I'd love to!" Tohru was ecstatic. "What time?"

"If you're not busy … what about now?" Yuki asked shyly.

"Sure."

F. U. R. U. B. A.

I chocked out a demented laugh as I head downstairs to find nobody there. There was no point of even leaving my room. In there I was alone, and now I am still alone. Although I can't say I'll miss that nezumi and the dumb inu.

I stuffed my hands deep within my cargo pants pockets, because my wrists were both bloody and everyone would go ballistic on me. So it can't hurt them if they don't know, right?

"I'm ho-oome!" Shigure called as he stepped forth into the house, with his editor wrapped around in his legs.

Mii kept complaining about skipped deadlines and Shigure would just shoo it away with his hands, as if it was nothing. I just went into the kitchen, opened the fridge, and took out my daily carton of milk, drank it and then put it back.

"Ah! Kyo-kun, you're up!" Tohru smiled happily as she and Yuki just came through the door with cotton candy in their hands.

She has such great times with him. After all he is the rat … favored by Akito and everyone else. I thought. I didn't bother to answer Tohru's question, I didn't want to either.

"You could at least talk, baka neko." Yuki said in his usual calm tone.

This was usually the part where I would go ballistic and start fighting with Yuki, but I found that pointless now. I didn't feel like talking to him, or anyone for that matter. Unless it was Shishou.

My stomach started to feel enormous pains, as if someone was stabbing at me with glass.

I clutched my stomach in pain.

"Kyo kun! Kyo are you alright?" Tohru panicked as I fell to the floor, unconscious. The last things I heard were something doing with calling Hatori. Damn doctor.

F. U. R. U. B. A.

I woke up in my own bed and looked over at the clock. It was around 6:00pm; apparently I had been out for nearly 3 hours. I attempted to sit up. "Damn this …" I hissed, immediately lying back down. The pains have returned.

"It seems you are finally awake, stupid cat." I looked over to see Yuki at the doorway; hands crossed with an annoyed look on his face. "Hatori said you'd be fine … although I wouldn't have mined it if you died." He added harshly. (A/N: Careful what you wish for Yuki)

"Well I'm alive you damned rat." I snapped at him. I could always find the energy to yell at him somehow. I think …

"Whatever baka, just to let you know you have Honda-san very worried and I should beat you to a bloody pulp for that. I don't even know why she wastes her energy on you." Yuki said.

"You're wrong. You're all wrong! She doesn't care about me! Nobody does!" I screamed back at him. "Nobody would care if I died right now!" I added, without thinking. But now that idea popped into my head.

Would anyone care if I died?

"I defefiantly wouldn't care, neko." With that, Yuki trotted out of the hallway and possibly to the TV.

Suddenly an idea popped into my head. I needed to know: If I died, would I have a funeral? Would anyone even care enough to hold one?

F. U. R. U. B. A.

I slipped on my shoes and dashed out the door. I walked endlessly through the forest before some dark rain clouds hovered above head. Damn it all! It started to pour down real hard too.

My aimless walking and newfound weakness led me to a familiar building. The building where Tohru worked. Of all the places my feet had to take me, it had to be to where that girl is.

Why?

My cat-like skills and love for heights brought me to the roof. I stood there for a minute, and then looked down. I sighed, hopelessly in search for some answers. Why did she choose him? Am I really that bad? I hate this. I hate it all. I hate everyone! Everything!

Shy footsteps came from behind me. It was Tohru.

"Kyo-kun, what are you doing here?" She asked, truly puzzled.

I stepped closer to the edge of the roof and mentally dared her to come closer to me. She was even more clueless than usual.

"Why … why are you doing this Kyo?" She chocked out between sobs. I hated when girls cried. It made me feel bad. Like I've done something to cause it. This time, I truly did.

"Why am I doing this?" I asked, rudely. "Because of you!" I added, angry.

"I'm so sorry Kyo-kun. Please don't … jump." More sobs erupted from her. I couldn't take it anymore; if I died … she has the right to know why.

"Tohru, why am I doing this?" I demanded, rather coolly. "I am doing this because I know you like him Tohru. And it had taken me time to get used to you two being together, I thought—hey! If it made you happy to be with him, then by all means. But the more I saw you together, the more parts of me died." I was shocked at my own ability to speak so … dramatically, freely and openly.

I stepped closer to the edge.

"I'm doing this because I love you, Tohru Honda."

I jumped.


Don't worry, Kyo's sure as hell not dead! But Tohru might be regretting choosing Yuki? Who knows? Read and review please! Thank you for all your reviews, and I am so grateful! ((sniff))
