"Ah, Kyou!"
Kyou turned to the voice and saw Tohru approaching him with a mildly confused expression on her face. "What are you doing here still? I thought you left when Hana and Uo did."
The boy turned back to the grave with a frown. "I decided to hang back for a bit longer."
Tohru frowned. "Oh."
The two stood before the grave in silence before Tohru shifted and kneeled before the marker to fix an incense stick that had begun to tip too far. "I still can't believe it's been over a year since Mom died."
Kyou remained silent.
Tohru looked up to him with a small smile on her face. "I really wish that the two of you could've met. You two would've had a lot of fun together."
The girl turned away just a guilty expression settled onto his face. "I'm sure we would've."
Feeling uncomfortable, he took a step forward, placing a hand on the top of her head and rubbed her hair. "Come on, Shigure's probably wondering what's taking us."
"Ah, right." She stood and said her goodbyes to the grave before dashing out.
Kyou remained in his spot, hands in his pockets as he stared at the name on the marker. Slowly, he removed a hand from his pocket and reached out, running his fingers across the engraved kanji.
"I'm sorry."
With that, he turned and left, chasing after Tohru and with a guilty conscience.
