Shigure ran through the hospital, Hatori right behind him, looking around for any help. He scanned the signs, flagging down any doctors, but apparently everyone was too busy to hep the man in the kimono and bunny slippers. Then he heard crying, he turned his head and saw Tohru sitting in a chair in the waiting room.

"Little flower, we're here. We're here now." Shigure held onto her shoulders, trying to comfort her. Tohru had a look of confusion on her pitiful face.

"H-How did you guys k-know?"

"I got a call, about a young couple heading to the hospital." Hatori leaned down to Tohru's level. "They said there was a girl who repeatedly said to call me. Was that you Tohru?" Tohru nodded.

"I'm sorry to bother you, but I-I don't know his medical history or a-any-anything." Tohru stuttered out, clearly scared.

"No, Tohru, you did just fine. You did the right thing." Tohru looked at her hands, nodding slightly. "I'm going to check on him, I'll be back as soon as I can." Hatori turned on his heels, and hurried to find where Kyo was. Shigure sat next to Tohru, his hand around her shoulder.

"Tohru, this isn't your fault," She looked up at him, mouth open, ready to object. "I know what you're thinking Tohru. Or did you forget that we've been living together for almost 2 years now."

"I-I tried my hardest to save him. I tried to protect him- but then he-he held me to keep me safe…"

"Tohru wait-"

"The guy with the pipe was about to hit me and Kyo just came out of nowhere and was shielding me from him."

"You guys hugged? And he stayed-"

"Yes we-oh my god!" Tohru finally picked up what Shigure was putting down. Did this mean, how did that… She was too busy thinking she didn't realize Shigure had grabbed her and forced her into a hug. But nothing happened. Nothing happened!

"Tohru- I think you broke the curse." Tohru wasn't sure how, but she didn't care at this point. Kyo had to be okay, she wanted to hug him and let him tell her everything would be alright.

Hours passed as they waited for Hatori to tell them when they could see Kyo. Tohru's foot shook as tears would fall down her cheeks, dry and fall again. Her anxiety was through the roof.

Shigure watched the clock, doctors had already been out to tell them that Kyo had to be taken to surgery for some internal bleeding. They came out every hour or so to update them. But, they hadn't been back in a couple hours.

So much had happened tonight. The curse was broken, Tohru fought off a dude with a pipe. And now his kid, someone he woke up for school, and enrolled in school, and made him feel better when he was down. He could never replace Kazuma as Kyo's parent figure, but he still thought of his as a son. Same as Yuki and Tohru, they were his kids.

"Shit, Yuki!" He ran out of the house so fast he forgot to tell Yuki that he left. "Tohru, I'm gonna call the house and tell Yuki what's going on." Tohru nodded, it was getting late, nearing 2:30 in the morning. As much as she promised her mom she would continue going to school, she deserved a couple days off.

"Mrs. Soma?" A doctor walked into the waiting room. Tohru stood up, too concerned to correct the doctor.

"Are you here about Kyo Soma?" Tohru jumped up and ran towards the doctor.

"Yes ma'am. He suffered some internal bleeding to his abdomen and spine. But he's out of surgery and doing just great." More tears ran down Tohru's face.

"Can I see him?" The doctor nodded, and began to lead the way to Kyo's room. Tohru turned around and waved to Shigure, trying to let him know what was going on.

Kyo's orange hair popped against the white hospital sheets. He had an IV sticking out of his hand and a heart monitor on his left side. Tohru carefully walked to the side of his bed, taking a seat in the chair next to him. She gingerly took his hand with both of hers, even more tears flowing down her face. She laid her head on the bed, thanking god he was alright.

"All I seem to do... is make you cry." His voice was dry, hoarse.

"Oh my god!" Tohru jumped up, kissing him softly.

"Oh hey. You gonna wake me up like that every time?"

"If you want me to." She rested her forehead on his, clutching his hand to her chest.

"I'm so sorry Kyo, you're like this because of me. The time the curse broke and you were getting beaten by a pipe."

"Wait- the curse broke?" Tohru nodded, she was too tired to process anything other than the fact that Kyo was okay and breathing.

"Yes Kyo. Curse is broken and we're keeping you here until Friday. And then you'll be released to recover at home. You are not to leave the bed for two weeks. And no fighting Yuki for 4. You'll be back here in a week to get your stitches removed. Understand." Hatori had walked into the room, spouting off instructions before anyone could say hi. Kyo groaned, but Tohru nodded, making mental notes of everything he said.

"C'mon Ha'ri. I'll be up and moving before next week."

"No, you're lucky you aren't more injured. All you're incisions are on your right side. Be mindful of that." Hatori smirked, leaving the room just in time for Shigure to come through the door.

"God damn it Kyo do you know how worried I was! You should have ran, grabbed Tohru and ran. I know you can carry her without triggering the curse, which doesn't even matter anymore." The dog yelled. "You have people that care about you dammit stop being reckless!"

"You done?"

"Not yet." Shigure crossed the room and gave Kyo the biggest hug he'd ever received. And then gave Tohru a hug for good measure. His kids were safe, they were finally safe. "I'm going home, to sleep. Tohru, do you want a ride?"

"I'll stay here Shigure- if that's alright?" Shigure smiled, the old man was back.

"Don't be silly, wrap the willy!" He giggled as he left the hospital room, shutting the door on his way out. Tohru turned back to Kyo, who's lip was still swollen and the cut above his eye had turned into a nasty bruise.

"Come over here." Tohru sniffed, curling into his left side, resting her head on his chest. She could hear his heartbeat through the gown, steady and strong. "I've been waiting over a year to do this." Kyo sighed heavily.

"Me too." Tohru turned her head to look at him. She saw nothing but love in his eyes, and she felt like she was floating again. He didn't even have to really touch her and she felt like she was floating.

'Mom, I know what you meant now when you said I'll know hen it's like right one. I think you'd like Kyo.'

She tilted her head more, closing the gap between them. She didn't want light and sweet right now. She just wanted Kyo. She became increasingly aware of his hand underneath her, his fingertips ghosting her back. Tohru could feel how much Kyo cared for her through his kiss. She reached up, and tangled her hands in his hair.

They broke apart for the cliche reason of neither of them could breathe. Tohru searched his eyes for any sign of rejection, but he just smiled at her.

Tohru laid her head back down on his chest, letting one arm fall to his neck, the other to his chest. "I love you." She whispered underneath her breathe as she began to fall asleep.

Kyo held the hand close to his chest, placing a final kiss to the top of her head before leaning his head back and closing his eyes.

A/N: I had a lot of fun with this one. There are only 2 chapters after this so, I hope you all enjoy.
