Chapter Thirty-eight: Fallen again?!
Emerged in thought, Yuki barely heard the sneeze, but there was no mistaking the enormous crash that had occurred to the side of the house. He wondered what it could possible be, sounding much too loud to have been an animal. As the nezumi inched towards the edge of the roof, he quickly recognized the familiar sound of Kyou's pain-filled moans. The teen hurried the remaining feet to see his cousin heaped yet again on the hard earth below.
"Kyou, daijoubu ka?"
Receiving no response, Yuki leapt from the structure, only to land awkwardly on his side, rolling to a stop next to the other. Pain shot through his shoulder and legs, but the gray-haired boy roughly dragged himself onto all fours, leaning over the seemingly unconscious redhead. It truly was his bad luck to fall from the roof again, and not having completely recovered yet. Yuki began too feel dizzy, his own injuries becoming apparent, but the slender youth could only focus on the one now in his shaking arms. The sound of Tohru approaching crept into his ears, and he was comforted when he heard her yell for Shigure to call an ambulance. Just as his surroundings began to fade, Yuki thought on the timing of Kyou's fall; could he have heard the nezumi's confession? Collapsed atop the neko, he fell unconscious with only the thoughts of his carrot-haired companion.
'Kyou, please be alright..'
