How to say... I Love You
Story by: Sohma Star (Star-chan)

***Two Years Ago***

It was a warm spring day, the gentle rain splashed happily against the windowpane. The snow had finally melted, and Yuki sat patiently by the window waiting out the rain. He really wanted to start planting his garden today, but the rain was keeping him from it. Yuki let out a bored, disappointed sigh, then continued staring out at the rain. As the rain became heavier and heavier he began to doubt his garden would receive any attention today. Kyo, on the other hand, was anything but patient...

"I HATE RAIN, NOW I'M STUCK INSIDE WITH THE KUSO NEZUMI, AND THE BAKA INU!!! ALL I WANTED TO DO WAS TRAIN, IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK?!?!?! WHY WON'T IT STOP!!!! WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? ARGGGGGGG!!!" The enraged Kyo paced anxiously around the house continuously shouting at the top of his lungs. Shigure, who was trying to write, carefully poked his head out of his study.

"Kyo-kun can you keep it down? I'm trying to write so, I can repair all the damage you've done to my house..." He paused for a bit grinned, then added in a whiny voice "and if you don't behave I'll have to buy leeks for dinner." He quickly pulled his head back into the tiny alcove as a chair was flung in his direction. Yuki, who had momentarily stopped studying the rain, to watch Kyo and Shigure, now turned back to the window, and let out a startled gasp. A dark-haired girl was clinging to a plastic poncho under a tree, desperately trying to avoid the soaking rain. Yuki silently grabbed his coat and umbrella, then walked out the door.

Kyo turned just as the door closed, puzzled as to why the kuso nezumi felt the need to go out in the rain, he grabbed his umbrella, and opened the door follow. He had expected to see anything, anything except this... Yuki was walking back to the house, carefully carrying a girl, who appeared to be unconscious. In pure shock Kyo held the door open, and allowed him back inside, then waited quietly for an explanation.

Yuki gently set the girl down on the sofa, covered her with a blanket, and placed a damp washcloth on her forehead. Shigure stood silently by Kyo, and watched Yuki for a few minutes, then cleared his throat. Yuki turned to Shigure and Kyo, and softly began his explanation...

"I saw her a few minutes ago while I was sitting by the window. I went outside to see if she needed any help. We spoke for awhile, she said her name was Honda Tohru then, she collapsed with a fever. I couldn't think of anything else to do so, I brought her to the house." Yuki calmly finished his story, and the girl began to stir. She opened her eyes, blinked a few times then cautiously sat up.
