"Here." Kyo said giving the person behind the register his release. He was no longer willing to work there anymore so he quit with only a year left. His father wasn't going to be happy. But after talking to this girl, maybe someone named Tohru Honda, he felt different, as though, it was him doing what he wanted. No longer what he wanted.

Tohru looked at the picture. She put it into the trash bag. She took it back out. She put it back in… "Ahh, come on, what can I do with you?" she asked the picture, it was the picture of Yuki and her sledding, 2 years ago. She put it into the trash bag once more, then took it out. She opened the drawer and stuffed it in there.

She pulled out a sheet of clean paper. She made space on her kitchen table.

'Hello, it's me again… I wonder if I had ever met you before in the past. Two years ago I mean. I would always go to the subway station on my way from work, the main subway in the city. I would always sit at bench 13 and wait for my subway to come. If you come tomorrow to the subway station, go to bench 13, I lost my recorder there tomorrow 2 years ago, maybe you can return it to me?'

-Tohru

Kyo walked to the bench marked 13, the paint was peeling on the numbers, he did see brunette hair. He hurried faster when the subway came, the brunette head got up and walked into the subway. He started running, he almost ran into the bench. He stared at the girl that had gotten into the subway, she saw her recorder and placed her hands on the window as though trying to reach it. He started running to the door with the recorder in his hand, the subway was leaving.

---

'I'm sorry I couldn't get it to you in time, I don't know if this will work, but I will give it a try.'

Tohru read the note and reached into the mailbox, her hand grasped something cold, and metal, she pulled it out. It was like an old friend. Her recorder was back in her possession and it finally felt right.

---

She listened to the recorder while walking with Uo to the super market, "What do you have in your ear, Tohru?" Uo asked.

"Hey, didn't you lose that? Two years ago?" Uo asked. Tohru took the earphones out of her ears.

"I guess I found it." Tohru smiled.

"You're sure happy." Uo smirked. Tohru bubbled with happiness. She put the earphones back in her ears. Her voice ended, she was about to rewind it when another voice came on.

"Tohru Honda?" It said. She was beyond shock.

"I hope I'm doing this right. Sorry, I don't want to mess with it. But, if I got to see you, at least you can hear me, good for all?" Kyo said.

"Well, this is how I sound, I hope you like the recorder. I'm pretty sure it's still in good shape. You can try it out and stuff." The voice ended.

---

"He's alright." she said. Kyo nodded. He clenched his teeth together.

'Karma.' he thought bitterly.

"He's in a pretty stable condition, he seems to be hanging on really well." The nurse said to him. Kyo continued to nod.

"He's in room 206, if you want to go visit him." she said with a sigh. Kyo continued to nod.

He walked down the aisle to room 206. He stood in front of the door, he was hesitant, but also a little scared. He and his father never had a good relationship. He turned away from the door and ran to the exit.

"No running!" someone shouted.

'It's a bit late for that.' Kyo thought.

He ran out of his car and into his home. He pulled out a sheet of paper.

'Is there anything in 2006 that says anything about Professor Sohma? If so, please send it to me. Please.' Kyo almost tore the paper and put it into the mailbox.

---

Tohru looked through the books of Professors. She went directly to "S."

"Sohma." she said. She said it about 3 times when she finally found something on him. She pulled the first book out, she looked at the numbers, she sadly recognized what a sad year it would be for Kyo..

The front read, "1946 - 2004."

---

Tohru send the book with a heavy heart.

'I'm so sorry.' She wrote. She didn't know what else to say.


Ayumi: Professor Sohma, I didn't know what else to putt!! X Anyways, hope you enjoyed!! Laters!!
