I've got two votes for yaoi and one for het. One person doesn't care. Another wants both. Anyway, if people keep this up, the main pairings will be yaoi, though only by one vote. So, keep voting and we'll see what happens. I still haven't set a date yet but keep checking and vote please.

Thanks to: Lady Geuna, yukari, bippy, and palomapaz. Lots of thanks goes out to Uejaru.

*Flashback*

"Have you ever heard of the highest order of angels?" Kazuma asked a young Kyou.

"No." came his small reply.

"Heaven sends angels down to earth sometimes." Kazuma said.

"Why?" Kyou asked curiously.

"Sometimes people need help-help normal people can't give them, so the gods will send an angel down. That angel has a special purpose in their lifetime."

"Is she an angel?"

"Yes. She fell to us-to help us. She won't leave until everything is right."

"Is that why she can hug people?"

"No. It's because of a different reason. A reason you will learn when you're older."

*End Flashback*

"She still left in the end...and I never learned the reason." Kyou muttered to himself.

"Kyou!" Tohru called, "Dinner's ready!"

He hopped down from the roof and took a moment to admire a shooting star running across the velvet texture of the sky.

"Kyou!" Yuki said sharply. "Tohru's waiting."

"Like I care, kuso nezumi." He muttered while walking inside.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"It was six years ago today wasn't it?" Shigure asked

Yuki and Kyou froze in their actions.

"What was?" Tohru questioned him.

"Oh nothing! I was talking to myself. This is a delicious supper Tohru- san!" Shigure said quickly.

/It was six years though wasn't it?,/ Kyou's mind said.

"Yes." Yuki replied softly, "yes it was." He stood and walked away.

Kyou looked after him. He didn't know why Shigure brought that up now. He never had, in the years before.

Just then Yuki walked back in.

"Shigure, Mit-chan is outside holding a knife to her wrist." Yuki stated calmly.

"Ah...she has a good sense of humour, ne?" Shigure walked out of the room chuckling to himself.

"Baka inu." Kyou muttered.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

/Shigure-san was so serious at dinner,/ Tohru thought while cleaning up. /He must be working hard lately. Maybe I'll get him some tea later./

"Ano Honda-san?" Yuki said.

"Yes?" She responded with a smile.

"Don't worry about Shigure. He's always being silly." Yuki said, "Oh, Tohru, I have to go to the main house tomorrow with," he shuddered, "Ayame." He frowned slightly, he didn't like lying to Tohru but then again, it was six years. He had to go.

"Oh...ok! Tomorrow I will clean up the house then." Tohru offered him another smile and went to the dishes.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

She watched their backs as they left the house. Her mother's picture was on the table

"Okaa-san, everyone is tired around this time of the year. I don't know why. I think it's another of the juunishi secrets. I'm so happy I know about the juunishi but I feel sad that there are somethings that I can't do. Akito-san talked to me the other day. He talked. He didn't yell or whisper but he talked. I'm happy that Akito-san is opening up more. I think he's getting sicker though. Hatori wasn't too happy when Hatsuharu-kun and I went to see him." Tohru paused in her thoughts. "Okaa-san, please watch everybody for me when I can't."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

He walked to the lake. Slowly, each step deliberate and careful, he made his way to the shoreline. When he finally got there, he looked out to the setting sun, beautiful and dark.

"Haru?"

He looked up to see Yuki tucking his hair back from the slight breeze. He smiled gently in response.

"Ah! My little brother has finally arrived!" Ayame wrapped his arms around Yuki.

"Get off of me." Yuki said slowly.

"Hmph. Teenagers nowadays." He muttered. "I wonder when she'll come back."

"Soon." Haru said. "She promised us she'd be back."

"Yuki, you know, you were friends with Kyou once." Ayame suddenly mentioned.

"Just because I didn't make fun of him when she was here doesn't mean I liked him."

"But you did." Haru said. "I remember you telling me."

"You were Black that time." Was the soft reply

"Ah Haru, you were her favourite weren't you?" Ayame asked.

"No I wasn't. She liked Yuki more." Haru said

"She did not." Yuki said angrily, "The mouse was a cheating creature, always selfish."

"You're not, Yuki." Haru spoke softly, choosing his words carefully, "You were my first love remember? You aren't anything like the zodiac mouse."

Ayame had been known to be stupid and dumb but still, he knew that Haru did like Yuki a lot, whether or not it was love.

Suddenly, the air grew soft. The tension was fading. She was here.
