did you all have a good new year's eve(it was so long ago already i know)? i did it was fun, anyway, i come to you today with a book recomendation, if you haven't read Running With Scissors by Augusten Burroughs you should run to the bookstore/library w/e. They made a movie about it not long ago which i really wanted to see but somehow missed(which is amazing since we go to the movies at least once a week). Since i didnt get to see it i went and read the book it was highly entertaining, that poor kid had such a messed up childhood XD moving on...
I've run out of food ideas so Rayn and Isabel feel free to raid my magical pantry of infinate food for commenting, it is greatly apreciated.
I will also appologise again for the OOC-ness last ch, hopefully they will be getting back to normal from here on out (i'm listening to this extremely annoying song right now that i feel the need to tell you about, it's called fidelity or something it goes "breaks my hea-a-ah-a-ah-a-rt" MY GAWD THATS ANNOYING!!! sorry) or not, thats just how i am, you'll just have to wait and see X3
As it stands: Tohru-2 Kyou-0, VOTES CAN STILL BE CAST PPL!!! if anyone else cares enough to vote that is -glares at silent readers- X3
Ok well i talked alot and don't blame you if you didn't read it, it's mostly junk that i needed to get out anyway XD so, without any further delays i present to you, Chapter 7:


"Can I help you?"

Yuki looked around startled. A nurse in white scrubs was standing next to him smiling sweetly.

"Uh, no, thank you."

"Are you sure? You've been standing there for nearly an hour."

"I'm sorry, I'm going really."

"Okay," she turned and walked back to the nurse's station.

Yuki turned back to the bank of elevators. Tentatively he reached out and pushed the up button. It had already been a week since that horrible day, The memories were still very raw in Yuki's mind.

"What in the world is going on in here?" Shigure asked as he walked calmly into the room. "What the hell?" In two quick strides he was standing next to Kyou. A heartbeat later he was prying his fingers from around her throat.

"Yuki!" Shigure's harsh words cut through Yuki's paralysis. "Call an ambulance."

Yuki stumbled to his feet and rushed to the kitchen. Even all the way in there he heard the crisp crack as Shigure slapped Kyou.

The ping of the elevator brought him back to the present. Every day since then he had come to the hospital but it had taken him three days to actually step inside. Yesterday he had made it all the way up to the third floor where both the Pediatric and Psych wards were. Yuki wondered who had made the crazy decision to put those two wards on the same floor. The elevator ping-ed again but Yuki hesitated. He managed to force himself out just before the metal doors slid shut.

Yuki shut his eyes and turned left. Opening his eyes again he kept them glued to the ground. The problem was that for some reason he couldn't decide who he wanted to visit first. You're crazy! How could you possibly even consider visiting that maniac cat after what he did to Tohru? His mind insisted. And he agreed, but for some reason he couldn't bring himself to actually visit her. He found himself wandering the corridors turning corners at random.

"Yuki?"

Yuki froze.

"Yuki was that you?"

Turning slowly his eyes locked on the nameplate on the wall.

Kyou Sohma

Yuki cursed his feet for betraying him.

"Yuki, I know you're still there," Kyou called.

You can still run away, he doesn't really know you're there, he's just guessing.

So long as I'm here I might as well check on him first…Yuki turned around slowly. Set foot in that room and I'll deep-fry your brain. He stopped at the door and looked in. Kyou was sitting in the bed closest to the door. When he saw Yuki he smiled warmly.

"I was wondering when you'd come by," Kyou said. "Come in."

When Yuki didn't move Kyou's smile faltered.

"Have you seen Tohru yet?" Kyou asked looking away. "Haru said she's doing fine. He was here yesterday, he was really worried about me. I told him I couldn't see him anymore." Kyou looked back to Yuki, hope shining in his eyes. "I'm sorry about everything, I hope you're not too mad –"

Yuki bolted.

He didn't know why for sure, maybe he was finally listening to that annoying voice but he had the sudden urge to be out of there. He blew past the elevators and slammed into the door to the stairwell. He flew down the stairs three at a time and burst out into the lobby. Making a dash for the front door he barely heard the annoyed cries of "No running in the halls!" He didn't stop when he was outside. He ran the entire two and a half miles back to the house. Once inside he slammed the door behind him and leaned against it trying to catch his breath.

"Yuki? Was that you?" Shigure called from his study.

"Who else?" Yuki called back. He staggered to the living room and collapsed on the couch. He closed his eyes suddenly exhausted.

"Have fun at the hospital?" Shigure asked. Yuki could feel him standing over him. He opened an eye but immediately shut it at the sight of Shigure's smirking face.

"Who did you see?" Shigure asked.

"Just go away," Yuki said rolling on his side.

"I'm guessing it wasn't Tohru," Shigure said quietly. Yuki stiffened at the suggestion, painfully aware it was the truth. "You should go see her, she's dying to see you."

Yuki flinched at the word knowing full well that the Dog had used it on purpose. Yuki turned back and glared him down. Shigure raised his hands in surrender.

"All right, but you've got to see her eventually."

"Tomorrow," Yuki sighed running his hand down his face. "I'll go tomorrow." When he didn't hear Shigure walk away he opened his eyes again. Shigure was still there looking down at him doubtfully. "I promise!"

Shigure smiled sadly down at him before walking away. That familiar uncomfortable knot feeling returned to his stomach but Yuki just shook it off. He'd go back to the hospital tomorrow and see Tohru. He had no reason to feel guilty, it's not like he had gone to see Kyou on purpose. He hadn't even really talked to him. And now he knew he really did want to see Tohru.

Is that really it? Or are you just satisfied now that you've seen him. You're despicable! You should have just gone to see her in the first place you despicable cretin.

Yuki glared at the ceiling. He rolled over again and shut his eyes tight, willing himself not to think about anything. Eventually exhaustion overcame him and he slept fitfully.
