Title: A fight to Remember Authors: Purrmeow and Krys Rating: R (the first few chapters won't seem like it.) Disclaimer: The characters in this story obviously do not belong to use, because if they did we would likely be rich and not be writing a fan fiction, which makes us no money. This story is currently being written in the format of RPing (role playing) between us, the two authors. To make the shifts in POV clearer, each reply will be a separate chapter labeled with the narrating character. This plot takes place just after where the TV series leaves off. *Note: ~ will be used to indicate flashbacks and * to indicate a shift to the POV of others characters, such as Tohru or Shigure.

Chapter Ten: Yuki

Hurrying into the room at the sudden commotion, Yuki was not surprised to find it simply Tohru's hysteria towards Kyou. She seemed equally shocked, though much more outwardly, that the neko in question had forgotten her. However, within minutes his head was throbbing from the disturbing sound. Gently gripping her shoulders, the nezumi searched for the most considerate way to get her to leave.

"Honda-san, it has been quite a long day. Perhaps Kyou would like some rest. Let's go home. We can come back tomorrow, since there is no school." His sincere smile and warm gestures would have made anyone melt, so hopefully they would convince the panicking brunette.

"But - we can't just leave him here. Kyou-kun just woke up. He must - we can't just leave him alone - ," Tohru emphatically shrieked, pouting with her watering, enormous eyes. Did she have to make everything so difficult. Yuki considered that she would probably just as loud at home, and based his next decision upon this.

"I'll stay with him - for you Honda-san." Everyone in the room seemed shocked, but why did they have such trouble believing he would do such a thing. Yuki scowled inwardly; was it so hard to believe he was that nice? Looking at them rather blankly, the nezumi hinted for them to leave. It wasn't like he would abandon his cousin in the night! He plopped into the bedside chair and leaned his head back, as if to sleep. Catching on, Shigure guided the young shoujo from the hospital room; Hatori had already left.

It appeared as though it was going to be a long night. He just hoped they could both fall asleep and not have to talk much. Kyou would probably ask questions, find out about the strained relationship between them, and the hostility would start all over again. The dark-haired shounen wanted to draw out this peace as long as possible.

"Do you need anything? Thirsty, or hungry maybe?" Yuki figured he might as well take care of the injured boy while he was there. "Or do you just want to sleep?" He smiled, realizing that the neko was probably exhausted and in pain. "I don't mind. I can just sleep in this chair."
