Warnings: OOCness! Yaoi! If you haven't figured it out yet God have pity on your soul… Back to Kyo's Point Of View!

Yuki, Tohru, and I were all sitting at the table just staring at our food. Who could eat? Shigure had left that morning and still there was no sign of him. It was getting late and we were all getting worried.

"I'm sure he'll be here soon…" Tohru said doing her best to make us smile. She was barely smiling herself. There was something wrong, we could feel it.

Then as if on cue three loud banging noises came from the door, it made us all jump.

"I'll go see who it is." Tohru got up and left to go get the door. Yuki looked over to me.

"I don't like this Kyo…"

I leaned forward and gave the nezumi a kiss on the forehead. "Don't worry Yuki; I'm sure everything will be okay." We heard a loud gasp and a thump. We ran to the door way as quick as possible, just to find Tohru sitting on the floor with Kagura clinging to her crying on her shoulder.

"I'm so sorry! I didn't know it would…I'm sorry…" Kagura continued mumbling.

"What the hell are you talking about Kagura?" I was getting anxious.

Kagura looked up at me, her eyes full of tears, "I'm so sorry Kyo…I didn't know Shigure was coming…I didn't.."

"Shigure! What happened to him?" I yelled at her making her flinch and go back to crying in Tohru's shoulder…I just couldn't control my temper.

Yuki put his hand on my shoulder, trying to calm me down, "Kagura, please tell us everything."

She sat up, grasping one of Tohru's arms for comfort. The other hand wiped away from of her tears, as she sniffed. "A-alright," She looked at Kyo. "I'm sorry, Kyo. You just made me so angry. I wanted you to myself. So when I heard about this, I wanted to hurt you. So I...went to Akito.."

I was speechless; I could see the fear in Yuki and Tohru's eyes. Kagura continued, "I-I didn't think what I was doing would…" she down looked at the floor, "Akito told me that it wouldn't go without questioning. I told him I wasn't sure, but then I saw Shigure come…please tell me he is here?"

Yuki and I looked at each other and dashed for the phone. Kagura cried out, knowing something had to have been wrong. Tohru started to sob too and Kagura went back to cry in Tohru's shoulder.

Yuki reached the phone first and dialed the number for Hatori's office. I listened intently.

"..Hatori? It's Yuki. Is Shigure there?"

I couldn't make out Hatori's voice through the phone lines.

"What! Go check on…I don't care what he said! Go check on him, and bring the phone with you…" There was a pause in the phone conversation and Yuki looked over to me with worry. "…He's in there? Then is he…what do you mean? Kyo and I are coming over…I don't care if Akito sees us! I'm coming over…No…just…I will see you there Hatori!" Yuki hung up the phone quickly, not letting Hatori respond. The nezumilooked at me, "Shigure is hurt, bad. Were going over there."

I nodded, "Alright, let's go." We headed for the door, but before we left, we got the girls into the living room. "You two stay here. We can't have you guys getting hurt, we will be back soon." We quickly left before they could protest.

We were running as fast as we could. It started raining soon after we left the house. This was horrible, we were cold, wet, and we had a good friend, and cousin badly hurt. To top it all off, it was mainly our faults.

Finally, we made it to the house, breathing heavily outside Hatori's door. Without knocking, I flung open the door. Nothing could have prepared me for what I saw.

Shigure was laying on a blood stained futon, his eyes shut. Hatori ignored us coming in, he was too busy concentrating on stitching a foot long gash on Shigure's left arm. Shigure had to have at least 50 whiplash marks, but none as appealing as the ones on his stomach and face.

Trembling, Yuki went and sat on the ground to the right of Shigure. I couldn't move. I was too shocked.

"Close the door, Kyo. I don't want Akito to give me more patients." I snapped out of it and shut the door. I sat down by Yuki, holding his hand.

He tightened the grip on my hand and looked at me. His eyes were starting to form tears, "This is all my fault, Kyo. I urged you into a relationship, and look were it landed."

"Don't say that, Yuki. You know this isn't your fault. Shigure will be fine," unsure if I was right I looked over to Hatori, "Right?"

"He should be, none of the injuries are internal, so as long as he gets plenty of rest, and doesn't put stress on himself. He should be fine."

I looked back at Yuki, "See? Shigure will be fi—"

Unexpectedly a loud cry escaped Shigure's lips, as his eyes flickered open. Hatori placed a hand gently on Shigure's chest, "Don't get up." Hatori continued stitching up the dog's arm.

"Wha-what happened?" Shigure asked, gritting in pain.

I sighed, "Akito." I could sense Yuki and Shigure shiver at the name.

"I am so sorry, Shigure!" proclaimed Yuki, "It's my fault you are in this mess."

"Yuki…it's not your fault." Shigure was doing his best to talk.

"Don't talk you dumb mutt." I commanded him, frustrated. How the hell was he supposed to get better if he keeps talking?

"Kyo…" Yuki broke a short smile, knowing that I only meant care.

"You know…your life would be a good novel…for me to write."

"Will you just shut up! …And my life isn't a book!" Shigure smiled at my quick-temper, and Yuki laughed a little, along with Hatori. It was strange though..Yuki hadn't laughed, nor smiled all day. I realized how much I missed his laugh, his smile…his happiness.

That happiness was not meant to be. An outburst of anger was heard from Akito, and it was headed this way. I stood up and turned towards the door, clenching my fist. Yuki now standing behind me, I knew no matter what we were going to go through this, together.

I hope you liked my birthday present to you! I'm again sorry for it being so late. Thanks for reading, please review!
