Chapter 3
By: DestinyBabee

Few weeks later, Yuki and Ayu became the best of friends. They hung out almost everyday, and even Kyo got along with her. During this time, Hatori and Shigure decided that it would be best to just drop the subject about taking Tohru off life support for now. A few weeks ago, they even transfered hospitals, it was cloer to whereh Shigure lived, so it would be easier to visit her.
Ayu has also transferred into Yuki's and Kyo's school, ans if thats not enough she's in Yuki's class.


THE NEXT DAY.

Ayu arrives at Shigure's house, and she knocks on the door.

"I'll get it!" Shigure said, knowing that it would be Ayu. He opened the door and there she was just like he said. "Hello Ayu! Come on in!"

"Thank-you, Shigure!" Ayu said.

"So were are you kids going today??" Shigure wondered.

"Yuki, Kyo, and I are go a dance at school." Ayu said, sounding very excited.

"School dance on a saturday? Just like before. The good old days..." Shigure giggled. "Yuki hasn't gone to a dance since Tohru's accident. How'd you convince him?"

"Secret." Ayu winked.

"Where's that damn Yuki?!" Kyo shouted. "Dammit, let's go. We'll ditch him."

"Let's wait a little longer, Kyo." Ayu said.

"Oi! Hurry your ass up stupid mouse!" An impatient Kyo yelled.

"Shut your trap baka neko!" Yuki said back.

They took about 5 minutes of their time exchanging insult until finally, Shigure interrupted and told them that they'd be late if they don't get going.

"Don't stay out too long!" Shigure waved. "And no drinking or sex!"

"Who's gonna have sex!!!" Kyo screamed.

"Stupid Shigure." Yuki glared. "Don't mind him Ayu, he just being dumb.

Ayu sweatdrops.

When they finally got to the school gym, Momiji and Hatsuharu were already there waiting.

"YUKI! What took you so long??" A happy Momiji said, in his extremely loud voice. "O yeah, hi Kyo! Hi Ayu!"

"Let's go before it starts." Hatsuharu said.

When they walked in the gym, the dance had just started. They were currently playing Boys, By: Britney spears

"I love this song!" Ayu exclaimed. As she ran the to dance floor and started dancing. "Come on you guys!"

They all ran to join in except for Yuki, this reminded him alot of Tohru. He remembered the time he asked her to dance. They dance to the song eyes on me. Sudden;y the song finally ended, and guess what they played next. You got it-eyes on me.

"Hey Yuki! wanna dance with me??" Ayu smiled sweetly.

"Ah.. um.. I gotta go the washroom. Sorry!" Yuki said, before walking off.

Ayu's heart kinda sank. For the past few weeks she couldn't help but think about Yuki. She was look foward to this dance to get a chance to dance with him. She was falling in love with Yuki... and she couldn't control it. "Oh.. well that's okay! I'll ask Kyo!"She said, still trying to sound happy. Kyo was blushing the whole time while they were dancing. She got kinda jealous when all the girls ran up to Yuki asking him to dance, but he obviously turned them all down.

Even Momiji and Haru were dancing with other girls. All 3 jyuunishi boys were trying super hard not to hug. Well maybe except Momiji, he would just occasionally move away. But other than that, they had a good time.

While Kyo was dancing with Ayu, he noticed that Yuki was just standing there, he could tell that he was holding back tears. Kyo already knew how Yuki felt about Tohru, for he felt the exact same way. But he also knew how Tohru felt about Yuki, you can say its natural instinct of a cat. During the past 6 months, he thought long and hard that he should give up on Tohru and look for another. It would be hard, but Kyo knew that he could do it. He was trying to find another person, Kagura or Ayu to name some. He also knew that it would be impossible to love another that does not know about the jyuunishi. but he couldn't help but let his feelings go out of control. He was beginning to fall in love with 2 girls, and he couldn't choose between them.

When the song was finally over, Ayu said thanks and ran to Yuki.

"Yuki! aren't you bored just standing there??" Ayu smiled.

Um.. No." Yuki said flatly.

"Come on! This is the last dance in high school! They don't have proms anymore , so you gotta enjoy this last memory before its all over!" Ayu said, grabbing Yuki hand leading him to the dance floor with the others. Just then thats when he played 3 doors down, First Love. "Yuki, you hafta dance with me on this one."

Before Yuki could react, he was already dancing with her. He did not pull away, for he didn't want to hurt her feelings. Ayu could only smirked at the sight of the other girls standing over in the corners all the girls were all envious and jealous. Although Yuki felt like he had betrayed Tohru, even though they weren't going out. When the song was finally done, Yuki step away and told everyone that he had a student council meeting, and leave. Haru knew exactly how Yuki felt, and just he walk out the door, he saw the first of many tears to fall from his eyes.

"Yuki..." Haru whispered.

"Where's Yuki going???" A very loud Momiji said scanning the area for Yuki.

"He has a student council meeting." Ayu said sadly.

"Psh! damn mouse!" Kyo said.

AT SHIGURE'S HOUSE

Yuki open the door, with his head down.

"Huh? Back so soon Yuki??" Shigure asked.

"Uh yeah." He said softly. Tohru when will you finally wake up.. He thought before walking up the stairs.

A few hours later, Kyo have come back from the dance, and was looking pretty relieved it was over. Kagura had shown up at the dance and was going nuts when she saw Kyo. He danced with him for ever single slow song there was. But Kyo had to admit, he did kinda enjoy it.

"Welcome back!" Shigure smiled.

And was greeting by Kyo jus looking at him not even saying a word.

"You can at least say I'm back." Shigure pouted.

"I'm back, there happy?" Kyo said.

"haha so did you have a good time?" Shigure asked. Kyo says nothing. "I'll assume you did, considering you're blushing."

"Shut the fuck up! I'm not blushing by the way! My face is all red becuase it was stuffy!" Kyo yelled. and headed for his room.

"Yes yes." Shigure said pretending to believe him.

Jus then, the phone rang. Who could it be at this hour? Shigure thought. When he picked up the phone he immedietly reconized the voice. It was none other than, Hatori. "Ah.. Ha-san, what's up?" Shigure said.

"Shigure." Hatori said sounding pretty serious.

"What's wrong?" Shigure immeietly knew that it would be something seriously for Hatori sounded EXTRA seriously.

"Tohru... She's got a high fever." He said softly.
