The breeze was gentle as Kyou and Yuki sat close together on the roof of their house late at night. Shigure and Tohru had long since gone to bed, leaving Kyou and Yuki alone in the living room. In order to have some privacy, they climbed on the roof, to look at the stars.

"It's peaceful." Yuki smiled leaning backwards slightly and balancing himself on his arms. Kyou looked at his outstretched hand and placed his own on top of it, intertwining their fingers. Jumping slightly, Yuki looked over at Kyou, eyes wide in shock.

"Kyou-"

"If holding your hand gets this reaction, what's going to happen when I try to kiss you or something?" Kyou asked. He wasn't angry. He was, in fact, a bit amused. Amused and almost happy. Happy he finally seemed to beat Yuki in something. While Yuki was getting flustered from only holding hands, Kyou was already feeling completely comfortable, and ready to move on to something more...exciting.

"I know! How about we try it now?" Kyou asked, grasping Yuki's hand a little harder, almost as if to keep him still. He leaned forwards, inches away from Yuki's lips.

"Gahh! What the hell?" Kyou yelled. He has fallen asleep at his desk while reading, and had a very interesting dream about Yuki. It seemed to be happening a little more often than he would have liked.


"Yuki?" Shigure's voice was heard from the other side of the bathroom door. A knock was also heard and Yuki panicked. He tried to clean up as much blood as possible before pulling up his sleeve, and covering the thin cut that he had on his wrist. This was the first time Yuki had done this, and he wanted to make sure no one found out. It was more of an experiment for Yuki, to see if it would make him feel better. To see if it would help balance out the pain in his heart.

It didn't.

"Yuki?" Another knock, this time louder then the first was heard.

"Are you okay?" Shigure asked, jiggling the doorknob, attempting to get inside the room.

"Let me in, I need to talk to you." His voice held concern.

Ever since Kyou's memories were erased, Yuki was a different person. Shigure, of course, had expected this. It was harder for Yuki than it was for Hatori. Kana had left after her memories were erased, and because of this, Hatori no longer saw Kana. He only knew that she was married, happy, and expecting a child. So, for that reason, Hatori was happy for her. Sure, he still felt some pain, but he was able to cope with it.

Kyou however, remained with Yuki. Yuki saw him everyday, Kyou taunted him, and hurt his feelings, unknowingly of course. Shigure knew that Yuki wouldn't be able to take much more of this.

Yuki wrapped the bloody razor inside of a small towel; he shoved it deep into the garbage, hiding the evidence. He only hoped that no one would find it. He didn't feel like answering any types of questions, and he knew that there would be many questions if any one found it.

Although, it was usually Tohru who emptied the trash, and Yuki was sure she wouldn't question anything. She'd probably figure the blood was from shaving or something. It was times like these that Yuki was thankful that Tohru was so naïve.

"Sorry Shigure." Yuki said as he quickly opened the door, reviling Shigure, dressed, as if he were going somewhere.

"Are you okay Yuki? What were you doing in there so long?" Shigure asked. Yuki was acting very cautious, and Shigure was slowly beginning to catch on.

"Nothing really. What's the matter? Are you going out somewhere?" Yuki asked, shutting the door behind him. He leaned up against it, his hands behind him. He was looking down at the floor.

"It's time for your monthly checkup, so I'm going to take you to go see Ha-san." Shigure lied. He had to lie. If he had told Yuki the truth, then he'd never be able to get Yuki to go with him.

"I just went two weeks ago Shigure." Yuki answered. Shigure was up to something, and Yuki was going to find out what it was.

"Yes, I know, but he wants you back. He feels as though your bronchi may be a bit weaker from your depression." Shigure said, adding in the last part quickly and quietly, not wanting to upset the teen any more then he already was. The excuse seemed very legit, and Yuki had no reason to doubt Shigure. For the most part, Yuki trusted Shigure.

"Okay, let's go then. We should just tell Honda-san that we're going out." Yuki said as he made his way down the stairs, wincing as his wrist rubbed against the railing.

"Are you okay Yuki?" Shigure asked as he saw Yuki's face contort in pain.

"Yes, I'm fine." Yuki answered, there was no way he was going to tell Shigure what he was doing.

"Honda-san, we're going out. We'll be back in about an hour or two." Yuki said as he slipped on his shoes and walked out the door, leaving Shigure alone to talk with Tohru.

"Tohru-kun, Ha-san is, well, he's going to erase Yuki's memories." Shigure cast his gaze down onto the floor.

"No! He can't do that! Yuki-kun doesn't want to forget." Tohru replied, with tears in her eyes. It killed her how much Yuki was suffering. She had seen how perfect the two were together. They fought like crazy, but that was the way they showed they cared.

"He's breaking. I've tried talking to him, but there's really nothing anyone can do. There's nothing anybody can do. This is the only way." Shigure told her.

"I have hope. Kyou-kun will remember! I know he will, their love was so strong." Tohru said.

"Tohru-kun, I want to believe that he'll remember, but, it's just not possible. Ha-san has done this many times before, as had people in the past. No one ever remembers once their memory is erased." Shigure spoke from past experience. Not once had anyone ever remembered. Hatori's special powers were flawless.

"Please. Please reconsider. For Kyou. For Yuki. For me." Tohru begged.

"I'm sorry Tohru-kun. It's over."


"Ha-san! How are you?" Shigure said happily as Yuki shook his head at Shigure's childish behavior. The older man never failed to act like a kid in front of his friend. He took a seat and waited for Hatori to begin his checkup. He just wanted it to be quick, so he could go home.

Hatori simply ignored the other man and walked over to Yuki. He sighed. It was his fault that Yuki was this way. He ignored Akito's orders when he was told to erase Tohru's memories. Why couldn't he do it with Kyou?

"Yuki, I want to apologize," Hatori began, and continued talking again when he realized that Yuki was listening to him:

"I know it's painful to you, losing Kyou like that. I take full blame for it. And, I'll take the pain away for you. You won't have to suffer anymore." Hatori said as he placed his hand gently over Yuki's eyes, closing his eyelids.


A loud noise was heard, followed by a curse, and the sound of the shutting of a door.

"Oh! Welcome home Kyou-kun!" Tohru greeted the cat. It was now around 9:30, and Kyou had returned from his job.

"Oi, where's Shigure and the damn rat?" Kyou asked as he grabbed an onigiri from the small platter on the table.

"Yuki-kun had to go for a checkup." Tohru lied. She couldn't tell Kyou the truth! That would lead to a lot of questions in which she couldn't answer.

"That damn rat is always getting sick." Kyou stretched his arms into the air, much like a cat. He was tired. He had run through the mall chasing a dog that had gotten lose from his job.

"Well, it might be the weather! It's been overly hot lately, so it might be effecting him." Tohru explained, trying to defend Yuki. She felt the need to.

"Yeah, whatever. I'm going to sleep."

"Don't you want anything to eat? I made sure there were leftovers saved for you from dinner!"

"Nah, I'm fine. Goodnight."

"Goodnight Kyou-kun!" Tohru said when she realized that Kyou was already making his way upstairs.

Kyou twisted and turned, his dream was weird…Very weird!

"Yuki...I, I got you something." Kyou said, he didn't want to say anything about what he had heard. Yuki seemed okay, and he didn't want to make anything bad.

Kyou handed Yuki the present.

"Kyou, you didn't have to-" Yuki cut himself off handing Kyou his gift. Both boy's starred at each other, and opened their presents at the same time.

"You better not have gotten me anything girly!" Kyou said, causing Yuki to smile a bit.

Upon opening them, both boys starred at the picture and the frame in shock. And both boy's looked so...surprised.

They looked up at each other, speechless.

They didn't talk, didn't move, didn't even breath. They just starred at each other's eyes, as if in a trance, getting closer, until their foreheads were touching. Kyou brought his hand up to Yuki's chin, caressing it gently. He rubbed his thumbs against Yuki's lips.

"AH! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT ABOUT!" Kyou yelled as he sat up quickly. What was up with that dream? Why did he dream about Yuki of all people?

"Why do I keep dreaming about him? What the hell is wrong with me?" A knock was heard on his door, and Kyou turned his head.

"Kyou-kun, are you okay?" Tohru asked through the closed door. She seemed worried. She slowly opened the door and looked over at her friend.

"Nothing, just a damn dream." Kyou said as he fell back down onto the bed, sighing. Tohru watched him for a few moments before turning away and leaving.

"Dream Kyou. Your dreams will guide you." She whispered as she slowly shut the door, saying one more thing before returning to her room.

"Dream a dream."


'Dream a Dream' was originally going to be the name of this story. I was inspired to call it 'Part of Me' from Katy Perry's song.

I want to change the summary to this, too...No idea to what though. Any suggestions?
