Okay, you don't know how many times I have started this fic on a different
penname. It is the cursed fic, because every time I post it, my penname is
invalidated, or something, and it disappears. As it is, I only have the
first three chapters(where there used to be five) because my disk decided
to eat the last two. So please, for give me all you who have read this
before. I'm trying really hard to finish it. Later!

Chapter One:
Riceball's Mistake
" Honda-san, really, that's alright, its not your fault! Don't cry, please don't cry anymore, he'll be fine. Hotori will take care of him. Don't worry."
Yuki wondered why he tried. But then he saw her face and knew he couldn't let her just think that it was her fault. Yeah, she had hugged him, but if the baka-neko had just stood still, nothing would have happened. He wouldn't have run in to the street.
Yuki shuddered. The image of Kyou and the car was etched onto his brain. As much as they fought, he had no desire to see the cat dead.
Tohru just shook her head and cried harder. It was all her fault, she knew. If she hadn't.
The memory of what happened that afternoon came back to her, penetrating her dark thoughts of self hate.
* Flash back*
" Hey guys, its starting to rain. I think we should go." Shigure raised a hand to the sky, catching a few raindrops on it, then on his tongue. They had had a picnic that day at the park in the city, since it was such a nice Saturday, doing some shopping on the way. They had walked, mainly because they had no other way of getting there, and would now have to walk back in the rain.
"If only the idiot dog over there would get a car, then we'd be DRY!" Kyou complained loudly. A suddenly thrown apple core hit the back of his head, and he turned to face the rat.
"Damn rat! I'll-"
Tohru, seeing an argument starting, inserted herself between the cat and the rat.
" I have an idea! Why don't we call a cab! I could sit up front with the driver, and you three in back. That way nothing will happen, and we'll be dry!" She smiled up at Kyou, and despite himself, he nodded.
Tohru quickly made the call at a local telephone, while the others waited under the shelter of a bathroom area.
The cab arrived soon, and they all shuffled in, wet and cold from the sudden shower and wind.
"summers not supposed to be like this." Kyou mumbled angrily.
"Its an omen." Shigure said suddenly, in a prophetic voice. They all stoped and looked at him. "But whether for good or ill, I don't know." Suddenly he was back to his old self. "But that doesn't matter. All that matters is me getting to sit next to the sexy Honda-san!"
He was bombarded by a million apple cores, courtesy of Yuki and Kyou Inc.
Halfway through the ride home, Tohru had a thought.
" Okay guys, I think that we should get the money out so that we can pay him as soon as we get there. Yuki, will you give it to me?"
Yuki gave her his usual neutral look. " I don't have the money. Kyou does."
Kyou gave him a death glare, and responded. "No way! That wasn't my job. Shigure has it."
Shigure smiled. "sure Honda-san. Let me see." he reached into his pocket "umm. where could I have put it.Oh! Wait, I spent it on sake. Sorry!" He smiled he usual dog smile.
Tohru just stared at him in shock. The others gave their usual responses. The cab driver kicked them out. Right in a mud puddle. In the rain. With a wet cat and a wet rat. who by then wanted to rip each others throats out.
Shigure smiled. "oh well. Guess we have to walk."
Kyou would have killed him if Tohru hadn't stepped in between them once again.
" Don't worry Kyou, its only a little bit farther. We'll be alright."
Kyou gave her a nonchalant look, but gave in.
* Half * *an* *hour* *later*
"Are we there yet?" Shigure complained again for the millionth time.
Tohru, who was walking behind Kyou on the side of the road just smiled once more, and said once again "almost."
The walk was covered in rocks, and Tohru, being the shojo girl that she was, naturally was inclined to trip. And trip she did. With a yell and a poof, she found herself on the ground, a distinct orange, but very, very wet, ball of fur underneath. Tohru sat up, and gasped, her face gone red.
"K. Kyo.Kyou! I'm sorry! I didn't mean too, I so sorry!" she reached to pic him up out of the mud, but he hissed and jumped away. His paw had been twisted under the fall, and that just happened to be where Tohru had touched. He jumped away, and ran to the street, out of the puddle.
A sudden screech of tires made him look up. Two images met his eyes. One was of a screaming Tohru, which for some reason he couldn't hear. The second was the front end of a low rider, which seemed all to close.
Then everything was dark.
Tohru screamed as the car collided with Kyou. The car stopped, all to late, and a man got out, some punk from the city.
"oh, dude, like, I'm so sorry. Your cat is, like, totally squashed. Man.Sorry. He shrugged, and hopped into the car, driving around the limp form of Kyou. Tohru ran to Kyou, her eyes filed with tears. She laid one hand on his side, felt the blood, and fainted.
*end of flash back*
Yuki sighed and put his hand on Tohrus head. If he could have, he would have hugged her.
"It wasn't Honda-sans fault. Please don't cry anymore. Kyou can last through anything."
Tohru looked up, and saw Yuki smile. She felt better, but still. She wished she could hug him, just for the comfort of the human touch, if nothing else.
Her train of thought was broken suddenly, when Hotori walked in to the room.
Shigure stood up. "How is he?"
Hotori sighed. "he's back in human form finally. The wounds were deep, and I'm not sure if his head is alright. We'll have to take him into the main office when he's better, so that we may be able to get him a CAT scan. But other then that, there is nothing we can do." he bent down and picked up his bag.
"please call me if anything new happens. I'll be back tomorrow to check on him."
Hotori left, and the house was silent. Too quiet, Tohru thought, Kyou should be up and stomping around right now, or maybe eating dinner.anything.anything but this quiet. She worried about him, and hoped to Kami-sama that he would live.
And for the first time in a long time, Yuki worried about Kyou too.
* * * *
Authors rant: Like I said, its my first Furuba fanfic, so forgive me. This chapter aint very intriguing, huh? Oh well, keep reading, I'll have more soon, and with Kyou in it too! I love Kyou. Kyou cutie, my kitty, *sighs and drools*
Ja!
