Kyo woke-up with a start. "I thought I was dead. What a nightmare!" He
said as he panted.
He looked around his surrounding. All he could see was white everywhere. He realized he was not in his room. Where am I?
"So, you're finally awake." A voice said.
Kyo was alarmed. "Who's there?!"
"Easy now. Don't you recognize your own cousin?"
Kyo looked from where the voice came from. He squinted. "Shigure? But. . . "
"I'm dead. I know, no need to remind me about that."
Kyo became nervous. "Wha-What do you want?"
"I don't need anything from you. You're the one who needs me."
Confusion settled on Kyo's face.
"In case you still haven't noticed, you're dead." Shigure said unfeelingly.
Kyo looked at himself. I'm dead? But Tohru. . .
"I will explain why I'm here. I was sent here by You-know-Who to help you finish your unfinished business. You still can't enter heaven if you still have an unfinished business. Since I'm your cousin, I was told to do this for you. I'm just here to guide you but you have to solve your business by yourself."
Kyo just let out a blank face. He finally said, "Please pinch me, I must be dreaming."
"I'm sorry but this is the truth. The sooner you accept this, the better."
Kyo was still unmoving.
"Come on, I will show you something." Shigure pulled Kyo then he snapped his fingers.
Kyo looked around. They are in a hospital.
"Ah . . ." Kyo uttered as a wheel chair just passed through him. It's true. I'm dead, he thought sadly.
Shigure chuckled. He looked at Kyo as if saying I-told-you-so.
Kyo and Shigure continued walking until they reached a room. Kyo looked at the door sign. Intensive Care Unit, it read.
Shigure pulled Kyo inside by walking through the door. Kyo was confused. "Why are we here?" he asked Shigure.
Shigure remained silent and pointed to him the bed in the room. Kyo moved closer. There was a woman at the side of the bed and her head is bowed and she's sobbing. He looked at the person at the bed. He recognized his face. There were all sorts of machines and wires connected to him.
Suddenly, the woman raised her head. It was Tohru. Tohru spoke, "Kyo, please hold on. For me, please. Don't leave me. I need you. I love you."
Kyo was deeply saddened. "Tohru." He whispered.
"Wow, so this is what Tohru looks like now." Shigure commented. "Well? You see that your body is not really officially dead yet but you have no chance of survival. Your soul already left your body. Well, I'll be going now, if you need me just call me." Shigure snapped his fingers again and he's gone.
Kyo looked at Tohru again. "I'm sorry, my love. I'm sorry."
Tohru shouted, "No! Don't! Hatori!" as she left from the room running.
Kyo looked at the person on the bed that was also him. The heart beat was zero. I'm now officially dead, he thought.
Kyo watched as Hatori came in with several nurses with him. Followed by Tohru who was still sobbing. Hatori attempted to revive him but still his heartbeat remained zero.
"I'm sorry, Tohru. We lost him."
"NO!" Tohru hugged his dead body.
Yuki glanced at the clock. It was already 8 p.m. It was already two hours after they buried Sohma Kyo. Kyo, he thought. Yuki was really grieved on the death of Kyo. They became close friends after the curse was broken. Kyo became his best friend. He, Kyo, and Tohru were inseparable. Tohru. I wonder how she's taking all this.
A week had passed since the death of Kyo. Tohru did not report for work since then so Yuki decided to visit Tohru in her house.
Yuki found her at her backyard watering the plants. "Tohru."
Tohru spun around surprised on her face as she saw Yuki standing there. "Yuki, what are you doing here? I'm surprised. Don't you have any work today?"
"As a matter of fact, I have much work to do today. But so do you."
"Is that what you came here for? To scold me? Please give me some more time. I'm still grieving and that place reminds me too much of Kyo."
"Tohru, I'm grieving too. Kyo was my best friend and I cared for him too. But we have to move on. Besides, we are in a middle of a project and it is due next week. We need you at the office."
Tohru stiffened. "If that is your concern, then I'll just leave my resignation letter at your desk tomorrow. So you could find someone else to replace me right away."
Yuki grabbed Tohru's shoulders and spoke directly into her eyes. "But Tohru that was not what I meant. Please be reasonable. Just look, if Kyo is alive today what do you think he wants you to do? Mope around all day? Cry all day? Besides, you have to remember that Kyo worked for the company as hard as I did. Do you want to throw away the sweat and blood he invested in that company?"
The mention of Kyo's name brought Tohru into reality. Tohru thought for awhile.
"Okay, I'll go to work tomorrow."
Yuki smiled. I knew it.
Kyo watched the whole scene with jealousy. Why haven't I noticed it before? Yuki is also in love with Tohru. I can see it through his eyes.
Kyo wanted to punch Yuki. "You traitor!" But his punches just passed through Yuki.
"Shit!" Kyo exclaimed.
"Stop it. You'll just die trying." Shigure suddenly appeared beside Kyo. "Haha. How thoughtless of me. You're already dead. Hahaha."
Kyo wondered if he could punch a ghost.
He looked around his surrounding. All he could see was white everywhere. He realized he was not in his room. Where am I?
"So, you're finally awake." A voice said.
