Kokoro no Hitan
I ran wherever my feet felt like taking me, I wasn't even paying attention at all to where I was going anymore.
When my legs refused to take another step, I realized I was at the school.
How funny it is....That I'd end up here. I smiled through the tears in my eyes. There weren't that many left at this point, the wind whipping at my face had dried most of them. This place...where I've had so much fun...where I learned so much...About my friends...and my family...and..myself...Oh, Mom! What should I do now. I collapsed against a wall, sliding down it until I ended up in a pile at the bottom.
I can't go back! I looked up, at the sky. And I can't ask Grandpa to take me in again. Hana-chan's family is too big, and Uo-chan has no room. I hugged my knees up against my chest. What do I do now, Mom. I'm so lost. I rested my head on my knees and and let the tears come again. Gomen nee, Kyo-kun...Yuki-kun...Gomen....minna

"This is no use! Where are we going?! We're just running around in circles!" I was getting agravated. Our search so far hadn't even stirred up one clue as to where Tohru could have gone.
"Well, there's only a few more places we could check. Her mother's graveyard and the school. I don't think she'd seek solitude on any Sohma property, do you?"
I looked at Yuki, kind of shocked at his skills of deduction. "K. Then let's go check the school. It's starting to get dark."
Yuki looked up. "Mmm. You're right. Let's hurry."
So we both ran off toward the school.

By the time we got there, there was little light left to see by, but some of the lights around the school were on, and that's how we found her, a dark spot against a lightly colored wall.
"What should we do?" I looked at Yuki. He shrugged his shoulders. And started walking toward her.
He bent down in front of her and I stop beside him. "Tohru...." No response. "Tohru?"

I was pulled out of my fatigue-induced sleep by a familar voice softly calling my name. I looked up at the voice's owner with blank eyes, and when I realized who it was, I quickly looked back down again.
"Tohru, what's wrong? Come on, let's go home." It was Kyo. He must have went looking for me with Yuki. I shook my head. The place he called "home" I no longer could use such a friendly word for.
"Tohru, come on." I felt a hand on my shoulder, and then another on my opposite one.
I looked up to see both Kyo and Yuki squatting down in front of me, both smiling but clearly looking worried. I looked back down again.
"Let's go home," Kyo said.
"I..can't...," I managed to squeak out. "What...you call home...isn't...my home...anymore...."
"Tohru, you know that isn't true."
"Yeah, now, come on, let's go."
I could feel them trying to lift me to my feet by my arms, so I ripped them out of their grasps. "I...can't....I've...I've caused too much pain already..."

"Tohru, you said you wanted to be with me....To live together with me..." I knew that would get her attention. She looked straight up, right at me. "Do you...not want that anymore?"
I could see the tears building up in her eyes. Oh, no, please don't cry...I, swear, I might too at this rate.
"It's...not...that....," she sighed. "I've already caused too much pain already."
"You'd cause even more if you left us now," I told her.
"Tohru, you know we like having you around. None of this is your fault. Please, come home," Yuki said.
Tohru still looked like she wasn't going to budge. I looked at Yuki and raised an eyebrow, as if to say, 'Now what? Do we carry her?'
He looked bakc at me with, 'It doesn't seem like we have any other choice.'
The key question now, was 'How?'
