Note: the ~ stands for them thinking
Tohru could see nothing else but blood. It stained her hands as she clenched them to her face. It covered the fallen leaves, the smell crisp in the air. They images flashed in front of her mind. Kyo, the bullet entering his body, the blood splattering through the air, hanging like raindrops in the sky. It seemed like the visions would never end till she heard the sound of the siren.
Yuki and Shigure had grabbed onto Akito as soon as they saw the bullet fly, but they were too late. It had already pierced Kyo. They were now trying to drag him away from the scene, but he was screaming crazily. "NO! IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HER! SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO DIE! SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO SUFFER!"
Tohru crawled over to where Kyo lay on the ground and reached out with her quivering hand to grab onto his.
~ Maybe this is all a dream; maybe I'll wake up to find that everything is fine. This must be a dream; I don't think I can take it if it wasn't. But then again how can it? How can it be a dream when I feel so much pain inside my heart? The pain it's overwhelming, like something I never felt before. I want him to be with me, even though it's a selfish thought. I want him to be with me. I want to spend my time looking at his face, knowing that he's thinking about me too.I want to live my life with him there..I want to be by his side when we graduate. I want to stay together..with him. ~
A few moments later Kyo was loaded into the ambulance, Akito, Shigure, and Yuki had disappeared. Hana, Uo, and Tohru all clambered into the vehicle, and they sped off to the hospital.
Tohru sat by Kyo's side in the hospital gently stroking his cheek. He looked so peaceful as he slept, so quiet.
"What happened to Akito?" questioned Yuki as he sadly watched Tohru from outside the hallway.
Shigure brushed his hair out of his eyes and gazed at the boy standing before him. Yuki was hurting inside. It was bound to be very painful for him, seeing the girl he loved chose another, but it was the way of fate. Fate seemed to be cruel sometimes and there was nothing one could do to stop it. What would happen just happens. Sometimes you can change it, but then again maybe you were fated to change it in the first place, so you weren't actually changing fate, you were fated to do that instead. Shigure shook the thoughts out of his head; there was no need to confuse himself now.
"Akito was taken back to the main house by Hatori." Shigure answered, sighing.
"But aren't the police going to investigate into this? They are bound to ask questions, and that could only lead to trouble."
"They don't know anything about Akito being there. Hatori erased the ambulance driver's memories. All the police know is that Kyo was shot. I talked to them before and told him that we found him like that in the woods. There's nothing I can do to stop an investigation. Kyo's condition was so bad that we had no choice but to take him here. It's going to cause a lot of problems."
Yuki watched as Tohru laid her head on Kyo's arm and started to cry. He wanted so bad to comfort her, but he couldn't help her. It was up to Kyo to keep himself alive. That stupid cat was always causing problems for him.
"Kyo, don't worry I'm here for you, please, please hold on." Tohru whispered softly to Kyo. He did not respond, he was still unconscious. The doctors said that he might pull through if he had the will, but he had lost a lot of blood and was really weak. "We are going to stay together Kyo, I promise." She smiled as she said it imagining what their lives would be like. She thought back to his words. He loved her, just as she loved him. It made her so happy that he returned her feelings because she didn't know if she could go on without him as more than her friend. She needed more, someone closer than a friend could ever be. Someone who would take her heart and keep it safe forever.
Uo and Hana watched as Yuki and Shigure talked. They were too far away to hear anything, but they both seemed upset.
"Come on Hana; let's go ask them a few questions. I think we deserve an explanation." Uo said walking slowly over to Shigure and Yuki.
Yuki looked up to see that Uo and Hana were walking towards them. He had forgotten about them in all the excitement. They were bound to ask questions and that wouldn't be good.
Kyo slowly opened his eyes to see Tohru crying over him. Slowly he sat up. She gazed at him, her blue eyes shining with tears.
"Kyo! You're awake!"
He reached out a hand and brushed away the tears from her face, enjoying the feeling of her skin against his fingers. "You're ok, aren't you Tohru? Akito didn't hurt you, did he?" Tohru took his hand in her and held it against her cheek.
"No he didn't, but he hurt you and it's all my fault."
Kyo sat up so that he was directly facing her. "Tohru, believe me, it's not your fault, it was the bastard Akito who did it, not you. Don't blame yourself.please."
Tohru blinked, she had never heard him say please before. Why was he acting so different? She wasn't used to seeing him like this; it made shivers go up her spine whenever she heard his voice. There was a moment of tense silence between them, but then Kyo slowly pulled her face towards his. Her lips were sweet, nothing like he had ever tasted before. He knew that he could hold her in his arms, but at least he could kiss her.
The warmth of the kiss was enough to melt Tohru away. She wanted so bad to grab onto him, but she was afraid that he would transform. She didn't want anything to break this kiss, this perfect moment that Kyo and her shared. She could feel his heart beating wildly as she laid a hand against his chest, clenching onto him. She was never going to let go of him. From now on, she would stay with him forever.
