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 Sixteen: Yuki
At the sudden screaming from the neko, Yuki nearly jumped form the creaky bed, missing landing on Kyou in his descent by mere centimeters. He assumed the teen was upset that the mountain of blankets had 'mysteriously formed' atop his injured body and was no doubt to hot. Apologizing profusely, the violet-eyed youth straightened out his mess and crawled back under the now damp covers with his cousin.
After such an outburst, Kyou now appeared much less lively, and now looked almost asleep. Yuki again curled up next to the other, more for warmth than anything else, and waited for the redhead to fall asleep. He had an overwhelming urge to say something to the hospitalized boy, but wanted more to speak it than for him to actually hear it. He was acting so strange today around the neko, thinking more and more about all the good qualities surfacing in his usually despicable relative. If not for the wounds to his chest, the nezumi would have made himself a lot closer. But this, gently resting on Kyou's shoulder with his reddened cheek pressed to the shounen's muscular neck, would have to do.
"Kyou, I'm sorry that all this had to happen to you. Honestly today is the best we have ever gotten along with each other in a long, long time. But there is something you have every right to know.it's just that.you'll probably hate me again once you hear it." Yuki stammered through every breath; he had to tell Kyou that it was him who pushed the now critically- conditioned teen off the roof. The neko would find out, or worse remember, eventually and it would be easier to make up for it sooner than once a significant amount of time had gone by. Perhaps Kyou would even forgive him, though not likely soon. Dark hair hiding his guilty eyes, he tried to finish, "I-I..." It was so hard, this friendship that had already started to blossom within a single day had become so important to Yuki. How could it be worth it to lose that so quickly? Fighting an impossible battle with his conscience, he finally blurted it out, unexpected to even himself. "I'm the reason you're like this. I knocked you off the roof...I'm so sorry!"
