Hello once again! My apoligies for the updating delay! Its because I had no idea what to write next, so i spent several days figuring it out (and being lazy), and I still have nothing much to show for my efforts. :( I can assure you that the problem has nothing to do with schoolwork, because I'm the most procrastinating person ever. I mean, i have a book summary due tomorrow, and what am I doing now? You got it, writing this sad excuse. I should probably start it now, because its 3 minutes till 9:00 on a Monday night, and I have to wake up at 5:30 EVERY FREAKIN MORNING for school. If i go to bed late, I'll be screwed tomorrow, considering the fact that I have the tendency to fall asleep in classes. Well, not so much falling asleep, as being in that state between sleep and awakeness. Its an amusing state to see me in, because I start to twitch alot, and my head goes up and down every two seconds, because I want to sleep so badly, but my brain is all like "NO! DON'T DO IT!". But, I guess you shouldn't sleep during high school, seeing how its pretty much the most important 4 years of your life, and it pretty much determines wether you'll be a fancy CEO, or a guy wiping down tables at McDonalds or cleaning kid puke at an elementary school. High schools a bitch, ain't it? makes me SO TIRED!

Anyways, sorry for the long wait, and the constant bitching I just did. I know you guys don't care about my trivial crap, so let's get to the story! And btw, just so you know, this is kinda a filler chapter, just until I can figure out what epic thing I should write in the next chapter. I figure this can buy me a bit more time. I can't say that its a long one, because it really isn't. Sad, isn't it? Ah well, I'll try to make it up to you all in the next chapter.

Yuki

"Well, well...hello there." the man smiled at me. "How's it going?" he yanked the bloodied knife out of Kyo's chest, and wiped it clean on his shirt. He slowly stood up, walking slowly in a circle. For once in my life, I had no idea what to do.

"Not talkative, are we?" he asked me casually.

As soon as he stepped away from Kyo, I raced over to him. I knelt down next to his still body, shocked at how red my pants quickly became. I gasped as I saw how much blood had already covered the floor. I turned my attention to my injured cousin. He gasped weakly for air, as a thick stream of blood slowly dripped its way out the corner of his mouth, and onto the sharply contrasting, stark white ceramic tile floor. His eyes were closed, yet his face showed intense pain, and his hair framed his face, slowly turning from a vibrant orange, to a dirty copper colour, as the blood seeped through it.

"Kyo?" I whispered his name, and touched his shoulder, hoping for a response. Unfortunately, I got none. "Kyo? Please, answer me!" He continued to lay motionless, surrounded by his halo of blood. I would have thought he was dead, if not for the ragged rise and fall of his chest as he struggled to breathe.

At that moment, I couldn't help but to think, 'What if Kyo died?'. It was a terrible thought. I couldn't bear the notion of my cousin dying on me. We always had our differences, and we constantly argued, but I never wanted anything like this to happen! He wasn't my only cousin, but in a strange way, I was closer to him than I was to all the others! He was like my best friend and worst enemy all rolled into one!

In the middle of the awful thoughts racing through my head, I began to feel something wet, falling from my face, and onto my already blood covered hands. Was I crying? It made me so emotional, that I was crying? I, Yuki Sohma, never cried! It was the rarest thing ever! I guess I never knew how much I cared about this guy, until he was almost gone from my life.

"You do realize that you're pretty much wasting your time?" a cold, amused voice came from behind me. In the middle of my thoughts, I had almost forgotten that the creep was still here.

"YOU! You did this to him!" I yelled, almost hysterically. "What the hell is wrong with you!"

The man didn't seem the least bit fazed. He looked at me with a deranged smile, his expression hinted amusement.

"Well, if you must know so badly, its quite simple really. Your little friend there saw something. Something that he had no business seeing." he tilted the weapon in our direction. "Didn't he tell you about all of this already?"

All of a sudden, I understood who this man was.

"Y-you? You're the one who killed his wife out here?" I was taken aback by the discovery.

"Pretty much. That bitch was really getting on my nerves, so I took her out. Literally." he gave me a satisfied grin. "Its just too bad that your friend had to see it happen. If he wasn't around then, this all wouldn't have happened. I mean, I can't just let this guy go free! He saw who I was, what I looked like, and my dead wife! He clearly knows too much."

I felt terrible. He warned me! Kyo told me everything, and all I did was ridicule him, and told him he was crazy. What kind of person am I? Tears started to fall once more.

"...h-hey.." a faint voice caught my attention. I looked down, only to be met by a pair of scarlet coloured eyes, glazed over in agony.

"Kyo!"I never thought I'd be so happy to see those odd pair of eyes in my life!

"...i..i feel ...like crap.." he said through ragged gasps. "...w-why...why are you...crying..?" A painful grin appeared.

I vigorously rubbed my eyes, trying to rid myself of the incriminating waterworks.

"I'm not crying. Y-You must be seeing things, you delusional cat!" I said between sniffles, a slight hint of a smile played across my face.

He struggled to sit up, putting his weight on his pale arms. He leaned on my shoulder a bit, for support.

"Kyo, I really don't think that you should be even moving around right now." I said to him, alarmed, yet relived.

"...oh shut it...you stupid ra-" he ended his sentence abruptly. I watched as his eyes went impossibly wide, and the grin disappeared almost as fast. He doubled over, coughing hard and gasping. All of a sudden, blood began to fall in torrents, from his mouth.

"Kyo? Kyo!" my relief turned to worry, and the smile that I used to have, left, with no trace of ever having been there.

" Oh crap, this hur-" he was interrupted by another bloody heave, leaving him weaker than he was before. He slumped back down to the sticky, red floor, gasping and on the edge of consciousness.

"Hey, that kid isn't looking too good." the man commented.

"Don't you think I know that?" I yelled back at him. I could feel the tears coming back again. His red eyes slowly closed, and he let out a soft moan of pain. This time, I feared the worst. I grabbed his wrist, feeling for a pulse. It was rapid and weak, and his breathing was shallow.

'He can't die here!' I thought. 'He can't die now! He has so much to live for!'

"Well, now that this one is outta the way, I guess I have to nail you next, huh?" my blood ran cold at the remark.

"What?"

"You heard me! Your friend over there, was at the wrong place at the wrong time, and look what happened to him! You are in the same predicament yourself, aren't you?" he gave me a sadistic smile. "Sorry, I can't have witnesses."

My eyes went wide. He slowly advanced towards me, the cruel weapon reflecting in the moonlight. I stayed put, terrified, and with no clue hat to do. Within seconds, he closed the gap between us.

"Sorry, it had to end this way." and he reached out a large hand, his fat fingers gripping my throat. I gagged as a reflex, as he dragged me to my feet, and held me an inch off the floor. That's when I started to panic.

I reached out, grabbing his hairy arms, clawing at his face, in a desperate attempt to free myself from his iron grip.

"Please!..Don't do this!" I pleaded with him, but the cold, ecstatic glint in his eyes, told me that he wouldn't be convinced any time soon. The room began to spin, and all the colours melted into one. In the foggy haze that settled over my vision, I managed to catch a glimpse of a petrified Tohru standing in the doorway before everything went black.

And thus ends another chapter. Except this chapter was different! It was... A FILLER CHAPTER! *insert shocked face* Yes, yes, its true. This chapter contained nothing substantial, and only helps move the plot along a tiny bit, and the only reason it's here is to buy me more time until I can think of what else could happen. Now, you all may be wondering "WHERE'S SHIGURE?". No worries people, our loveable Shigure will be arriving soon, eventually! Probably not in the next chapter, or maybe the one after it, but who knows? I don't! (But still, its probably not the next chapter.) Now, off to do my due homework! Its exactly 9:30, and I olny have 4 words written, and I'm supposed to have 250 or so! I'm off! Till then my friends!
