Chapter 7:

Tohru looked around her, darkness was consuming her. Hope was leaving her, and it was something she could not help to take back. Whenever Akito visits, all the words he spoke did nothing to her. It did not affect her, no, she wasn't strong, she was numb. She was unable to feel anything anymore. Everyday this solitary dark void had begin to comfort her. It's silence was her refuge. She was beginning to not care of her being in the Farplanes. Something tickled from Tohru's back.

She didn't bother it, she continued to stare into endless nothing. She didn't know that from her back, formed translucent wings...

Hatori was allowed in the operating room since he was a doctor, everything was in total chaos. There were blood on his scrubs, he was helping the other doctors. He wasn't very much adapt to this feild, but he tried his best.

"We're losing him quick." One of the doctors said.

"No we won't!" Hatori yelled at the doctor.

He made him wince, and even though he wanted to smirk at the other doctor, it wasn't the time. There was too much blood loss and Yuki's heart beat was beginning to lower from it's regualr beat. They have repaired much of his nerves, now if only the bleeding would stop-- he'd be okay...

Hatori again looked at his younger cousin and held on some pressure on the bleeding, "Yuki, don't you dare die on me...don't dare die on us..." He whispered.

Haru punched the wall, "Damn. Damn. Damn. Damn. Damn. Damn. D--"

"SHUT UP WILL YOU?!" Kyo yelled.

Haru had been going on saying "damn" for about thirty minutes straight now, and that really got Kyo pissed. Haru looked at Kyo-- he was in his Black personality.

"'Shut up'? How can I help not to? Don't you see that others are concerned?! You know Kyo you don't have to pretend--"

"What the hell are you getting at?" Kyo asked getting up from his seat.

"You know exactly where I'm getting at." Haru said and smirked in disgust, "Outside you show that you're as worried as all of us-- but, I bet inside you're smiling. Smiling that he's dying--!!"

Kyo punched his cousin. Shigure just observed, 'This is interesting...' He thought. Kagura held Kisa and covered her ears, sometimes the truth had to be kept from little innocent girls. Ayame looked at both boys, he lacked the energy to do anything. His brother was in there... dying...

"I dare you to say that again!" Kyo shouted. Kazuma winced, what was that in the tone of his son's voice? Yes, there was anger...but there was also something else...

"I dare ya!" Kyo told Haru. Haru was on the floor and a couple of nurses stared at them. Kyo was boiling mad, what did they think he was?! Heartless?!

"You know, it pisses me off, I'm here aren't I? I'm concerned, too you know?! He's part of the family I have-- I can't help who they are. I can say I hate someone, but hate, it's such a stupid word. You can't hate someone. You can only dislike him, and I do. She told me that by her actions the way she'd always try to get us along. I wish..." Kyo trailed off. He couldn't finish it off, 'I wish she was here to make it all go away...with that stupid smile...' He thought.

Kyo sat back down and Kagura held onto his hand. He didn't let go, but instead closed his eyes and laid back on his chair. Haru got up from the floor and looked at his cousin, "Sorry." he said and walked towards the nearest chair.

There was silence between everyone. It hang so heavily upon them that anyone that passed by couldn't help but wonder if they could even breathe throught the thickness of it.

Yuki opened his eyes, it was dark but it seemed the clothes he was wearing were giving some strange light. His clothes were a loose shirt that was white and his pants were white as well. Where was he?

He got up and started to walk around, but it seemed like it was useless, since it seemed like he was getting nowhere.

"Sohma Yuki?"

Yuki turned around and saw the Angel. She smiled at him and walked towards him. Her golden eyes and golden hair was so beatiful against the darkness, and her wings where so brilliant. It wasn't just her features, it was her very presence that made you feel safe and comfortable.

"It's you, the Angel."

"Please call me Kotori."

"Kotori..." Yuki said, Kotori stopped infront of him. From this close, he could see thather eyes lacked something. It lacked life. Shouldn't Angels be full of happiness and life? Shouldn't she be smiling alot? But, she wasn't. Her face was expressionless and her eyes were vacant. There was something in her eyes, there was something she had witnessed and it was her story. But, she wasn't ready to tell her story yet, it was a mystery for someone to unveil.

"You do not belong here." She said and sighed, 'Hang in there Tohru...''

"Where am I?"

"You're in the Farplanes, a place where souls are when they are near death."

--"Yuki!! Hang on!!"--

Yuki touched his head, what was that shouting? He grumbled, it was so loud. Kotori looked at him.

"I'm dead..?" Yuki asked.

"Close to. You do not belong here." She said. Again the horrible noise was heard yet again by Yuki...

--"Dammit, don't give up! C'mon!"--

"Ugh... what is that?" Yuki asked and held his head. It was making his head hurt and throb.

"They are calling you back, but before you leave..." Kotori said and with a wave of her hand the darkness changed. Yuki's eyes widened, this was his secret base and there was girl in here. She had long brown hair and he saw what seemed like wings behind her. She turned her head slightly his way--

"Tohru..." He breathed.

-=-

Hana felt Sohma Yuki's denpa waves weaken drastically, "I do hope you live Sohma Yuki. For if Tohru comes back and you are gone, she might not want to have been discovered." She whispered to herself and walked towards home.

-=-

Kyoko looked at the boy closer, "Is that him? Is that Sohma Yuki?" She asked Kazuya. Kazuya put an arm around her, "Why's he here? Shouldn't he be down there? This is not--!"

"Hush, Kyoko-koi, He's here for a reason. Kotori, wouldn't have him here anyway. There's too much to lose." Kazuya said to Kyoko.

She nodded, and nudged her and Kazuya to turn around. All she could do is watch over her daughter, only hoping and praying for the good to come to her. BUt, she knows, Tohru had tp geth through this first.

-=-

"Tohru..."

I'm dreaming...

I've finally gone insane...

You're not here...

You're just my imagination.

Yuki walked towards her, "Honda-san... can you hear me? Is that really you? Tohru...?" He asked her. She gave no reply or answer to tell him that she was real. What was wrong with her?

Go away...

Don't haunt me...

There's no---

Tohru gasped, someone had embraced her from behind and had encircled their arms about her shoulders. Tears welled up in her eyes, if this was a dream... then it was a good dream...

"I shouldn't be drowned in my dreams for they are only iullusions, and if I drown in them, I may start to begin to live in a fantasy that isn't real.." Tohru whispered.

Yuki held her close. He didn't transform... he had never dreamed this would happen. But, now he was holding her close. He could smell her hair adorned with lily petals and feel her warmth radiate towards him.

"You aren't dreaming, this is real...I'm real." Yuki whisperedr.

Tohru turned around, and there he was. Real as can be... the sun glistened off from his silver hair. He smiled towards her and his eyes, how had she forgotten them! So mysterious and so deep. They had changed from the first time they met and now. She changed them, she had reached him inside of himself and pulled him from the chains that bounded him and made him smile. The tears that brimmed in her eyes slowly spilled, was she crying out of insanity or was this joy? So this is how it felt like. So this is how it felt like to be hold.

"Yuki...?" She asked then smiled, "You called me by my first name!" She said and smiled.

This was happiness...

I've forgotten...

Kotori smiled, 'There's is still hope.' She thought as she watched the two. The picture she was seeing reminded her of the past. Maybe this one, this one will actually come about happy. Who knows? 'What a sweet and sorrowful thing love can be... this mad out of control love...' She thought. '...and the things it did...but, it can also bring so much happiness..'

Yuki blushed, "Well...I wanted to get your attention. Tohru... Tohru.. see?"

Tohru laughed, "Yes, you have my attention. I'm sorry for that, but I'm glad you're here. How's everyone?"

"They're fine, we want you back though." Yuki said, glad that his being here was causing Tohru to smile. It looked like she hadn't smiled in a while. He wanted to hug the life put of her or tell her that he was always going to be there.

"Good..." Tohru said, and she realized that he was holding her hands. She blushed a little, and it deepened when he took one of the petals that adorned her head. He looked at the white petal, "You absolutely love lilies, ne Tohru...-san.." Yuki said adding the '-san'.

Tohru nodded, "Yes, I absolutely love it."

" I love it, it as well, it suites you--"

--"We'll get you back...just give us some more time!--

'Damn.' Yuki cursed, 'I don't want to leave!' He thought but he felt himself being dragged back slowly. He tightened his hands around Tohru's. He couldn't leave! He was here and he found her! How can he just leave now?!

Kotori walked towards them, "It's time to go Yuki. Next time you will see Tohru in life. Now, let's go." She said and she put her hands on Yuki's right arm--

"Please I don't--"

"Then how will you two live? Will you simply die? Let the others be swept away by more sorrows? Sohma Yuki, I understand, but, you cannot. There is more at stake here than just this." Kotori said.

Yuki lowered his gaze. He didn't have a choice, he had to leave--

"I..." Tohru said but stopped and looked away.

"Then we shall go now. There will be other times. For now Tohru, he will have to leave, but, he will be waiting as well with the others for your arrival." Kotori whispered to Tohru's ear and Tohru nodded.

Kotori closed her eyes and a bright white light engulfed Yuki as he felt the warmth of the light envelope his right arm in it's comfort. He saw Tohru smile and found that he wasn't holding onto her anymore... she was disappearing...

'I've found her... now how can I get her back..?' he asked himself.

"I'll be waiting for that day to come Kotori...I'm looking foward to it." Tohru whispered as she was alone once again in the dark void. But, this time she waved her hand and was back again in the secret base.

Hatori came out of the operating room. Suddenly he found himself surrounded by eager awaiting faces both young and old. They looked at him awaiting for the news.

He smiled, "He'll be okay."

Momiji jumped up and down.

Kisa sighed a sigh of relief and hugged Hiro.

Ritsu made the sign of the cross and closed his eyes.

Haru smiled and put both his hands flat on the wall and continued to smile.

Shigure laughed and yelped in joy.

Ayame laughed, "AHAHAH! My little brother you are so strong! I knew you couldn't leave us!" He said, he laughed uncontrollably when he wanted to cry and collapse on the floor because of worry and fear.

Kagura looked Kyo, "I'm glad Yun-chan is okay."

"Yeah, same here. I'm glad the rat's ass has been saved." He replied quietly and Kagura smiled.

Kyo looked at her from the corner of his eye and sighed, 'Women these days-- I swear!' He thought.

"He'll just need some time to recover from the operation and time to gather strength. Afterwards, I will help him to exercise his right arm so he can use it." Hatori said and smiled.

Shigure looked at Hatori, "Well Doctor Ha'ri, you should get some rest-- you look exhausted!" He said and smiled. In all honesty everyone was exhasuted as they battled fear and worry for Yuki. It was like a miracle, like their prayers had been answered. Hatori was glad that someone up there had listened to them.

In a private room, Yuki uncurled his hands and revealed a fresh lily petal...
