Chapter Three:Let Your Heart Lead You

"Tohru. I don't know what I would do if . . .if I lost you."

"Tohru?" Kyo said as Tohru backed away from him with a scared look on her face. Her eyes were telling him that something was wrong, very wrong. Then he saw it.

They had been sitting by a pond in the forest near the soma house when Tohru had started to look at him weird and then rushed to her feet. When he stood he knew why she had been so scared. In the water was a reflection, but not the one that he would have liked to see. The water held a reflection of a monster. Kyo suddenly jerked his head around to see what could have happened to the bracelet. He spotted it about five feet from them on the ground. Some how it had gotten torn and it had just fell off.

'How did I not notice?' he cursed himself for being so unaware. So unaware that he had let the monster get out without him even knowing.

He jerked his head around when he heard a cry come from behind him. Tohru had tried to run but thanks to her clumsiness she had tripped on a rock and scrapped her knee.

Kyo's eyes took on a blood red color as the smell of blood came to his nose.

"No" He shouted as the monster within took over completely.

"Tohru, Run!" His normally smooth voice turned rough as he lost all sense of caring and control. He came at her with angry eyes that held nothing but rage in them.

"Kyo, STOP!" He heard Tohru scream as she ran through the trees, trying to find a way to escape.

'Why am I doing this, what's wrong with me.' Kyo thought to himself as he continued to run after her.

'No I have to stop this' By the time he had told himself that he had found her. She had fell again, this time from over use of muscles. Slowly Kyo walked up to her. The shadow that fell over her had cast all the moon light off, not letting any get through to her. Her tears fell steadily down her face as he got on all fours so their faces were mere inches apart. When he got so close that she could feel his breath on her face she looked up into his eyes. He could smell the blood from where she had scrapped it. He growled when she tried to move away. He lifted a clawed hand and started to bring it down onto her. "KYO!" "Kyo" "kyo"

"Kyo?" Kyo jerked awake at his name, his eyes wide with the images that the dream had brought him.

"Kyo?" A soft voice came from the door. He turned to the doorway to see Tohru standing there in her shorts and t-shirt. Looking at her he could have swore that she had been crying. He swung his legs over the side of the bed and sat up strait as to get a better look at her. She was shivering. Her arms crossed in front of her and head down. The shadows played on her face.

"Tohru? What's wrong?" He asked looking at the alarm clock that sat on the table across the room. It read 3:00am. "What are you doing up so early?" He asked rubbing his eyes. She said nothing as she stepped closer, almost as if scared to do so.

"Tohru?"

This isn't like her. Something's wrong.

Kyo stood up and took a step toward her. "Tohru, answer me. Now." He said firmly.

"Kyo . . . I . . . I . . . had a dream. A nightmare. Then I woke up and heard you. You screamed in your sleep." A tear fell from her eye onto the floor.

"Kyo, you scared me." She whispered never once raising her head to look at him. Kyo walked up to her, without hesitation, and gently set his left hand on her shoulder while the right went to her chin.

"Tohru?" He said as he lifted her chin so she was looking into his face. She tried to pull away but when she did his grip tightened.

"Your safe, Tohru. Its fine." He said calmly when he let go of her chin.

"But it felt so real." Tohru pulled away and stared at the ground. Kyo didn't know how to tell her that the dream that she had was probably the one that he had been having for a while. Dropping his hand back down to his side he went to sit back down on the bed. Then suddenly there were arms wrapped around his torso once again. He stilled but then relaxed as her pulled her from him so he could turn around to face her.

"Kyo, please . . . don't leave me alone." Kyo knew by the way she said it that she was scared. What she had saw along with the scream she heard come from him was too much for her. She was trying to hold off tears as he looked at her

"Kyo, you have nightmares, is it . . ." she paused but never finished what she had started.

Kyo sighed as he pushed her back down onto the bed.

"Tohru, whatever your dreamed wasn't real. Your still hear, safe." He said as he pulled the covers up over her. He felt her shiver as he smoothed the cover over her shoulder.

I can understand her being cold, this time of year is not the time of year to be without a heater. Which we are without.

Kyo thought angrily when he remembered that shiguru had said that the heater was fixed. Looking at Tohru he thought of his own nightmare.

Its never the same one. It always changes but always ends the same.

He shivered at the thought.

"Kyo, are you cold?" Kyo looked down at his side to see Tohru looking up at him knowingly. He looked down at himself and regretted not putting on something warmer than just shorts.

"I'm fine, get some rest." Tohru sighed and sat up letting the covers fall from her upper body. She shivered at the missing warmth.

"I told you to rest." Kyo whispered to her as if afraid that speaking any higher would scare her.

"Kyo." She whispered back but her voice held a command to it. Kyo turned his head to see her out of the corner of his eye.

"You don't have to act like nothing bothers you. I know that these nightmares scare you but you tell me nothing of them. It scares me that you wake in the middle of the night only to rush strait to my room as if you were afraid that I had disappeared. I want you to let me in Kyo." She paused to see if he would say anything.

"Are you done?" He asked calmly still glancing at her from the same position.

"No, I'm not." she sighed then started again.

"Kyo, why do you hide things. I thought . . . I thought we were friends." Her head lowered as she continued.

"But I don't know anymore."

Kyo's eyes softened before he finally turned to her.

"I don't mean to pry but I'm scared Kyo and the nightmare that I just had doesn't make this any easier." She said as a tear slid down her cheek.

"I know Tohru, I know. I will admit that I have a problem with being independent, but that's how I've been all my life." He raised his hand to her cheek and raised it so he could see her eyes.

"So you know that sharing even the smallest thought is hard for me. Tohru, you know me better than anyone. You may not think that you know much about me but you know more than anybody does." He smiled at the next thing that came to mind.

"You have a way of changing people." Tohru's eyes brightened at the smile that formed on his lips. She smiled for the first time since stepping into his room.

"Ok now can you get some rest." he said throwing a pillow at her. It hit her head with a soft thud. Tohru looked at the pillow with surprise.

"Stupid, lay down." He said with a little sarcasm in his voice. She complied and laid down but unexpectedly pulled Kyo down with her. Kyo's eyes widened when he realized that she had suddenly grabbed his arm and pulled him down to lay beside her.

"Tohru?" Kyo asked with surprise.

"Kyo, just this once forget about your pride. For once do what your heart tells you to." So with her softly spoken words in the air, he did what she said. He let his heart lead for once. Just this once he would not let pride get in the way. He pulled the cover up over her then laid his head down on the opposite pillow. For once he wasn't surprised when two arms wrapped around him. He wasn't even surprised when in return he wrapped his arms around her shoulders hugging her close to him, but the shiver that ran through him at the contact of her soft fingerscaressing his bare back was unexpected . . .but not quite unwelcome. For that one night, there were no bad dreams. For a few hours he had a peaceful night sleep. For just a few moments he could sleep without worrying that she wouldn't be there when he woke.
