review!

Chapter 2
Tohru slowly opened her eyes and saw Kyo sitting next to her. She focused her vision and looked around a bit more to see that she was in her room. Shigure had just opened the door and walked in with a wet rag and some more leek stew. When he saw that Tohru was awake, he sighed with relief. Kyo also did the same. Shigure walked over to Tohru and set the rag down on her forehead and sat down. No one said anything. Finally, Shigure spoke.
"Tohru...are...are you sure you heard them say that Yuki was de...dead?"
Tohru said nothing and only nodded her head. Shigure lowered his eyes to the floor sadly. Kyo suddenly got up and stomped out of the room. Shigure could feel the rage flowing from his body and watched from the window as he ran out of the house and slammed his hands into the dirt.
Kyo just sat there, staring at his hands and the blood trickling down from them. He couldn't believe it...he wouldn't believe it...he would not believe that Yuki could die. Not the Yuki who always beat him when they fought...not the Yuki who seemed to be the wisest of the Sohma family members. Sure Kyo hated him, but...did he really want him dead?
"Yuki...no, you won't be dead...you coward...you can't die before I beat you...you CAN'T!" (Sounds like something Vegeta would say....anyhoo, carry on)
Shigure walked outside and stopped right in back of Kyo. He set his hand down on Kyo's shoulder only to have it shoved away. Kyo stood up and eyed him angrily.
"Yuki's not dead...HE'S NOT!"
Shigure's face only saddened more, and he realized just how much of Yuki's prescence they took for granted. Now, they would never feel his prescence again. Kyo grabbed Shigure by the shirt and yelled in his face.
"DO YOU HEAR ME!? HE'S NOT DEAD!"
Shigure watched sadly as tears started coming to Kyo's eyes. Now he knew that Kyo never hated Yuki enough to want him dead. Every Sohma family member was just as important to someone as another. No Sohma could hate another because...because they were the only one's who could understand what the other was going through.
Kyo just stared at Shigure as he looked up at Kyo with a face of pure sorrow. Kyo slowly let go of Shigure and fell to his knees. It's...it's true...he's gone...he's dead and there's no way of denying it now...even Shigure sees this...but...but how can it be?! WHO WOULD DO THIS?!
Kyo felt Shigure put a palm on his head as he cried softly.
"HOW CAN IT BE?!"
***
Every Sohma showed up to Yuki's funeral. No one knew quite from where, but every Sohma showed up, and every Sohma cried. Tohru was the only non-Sohma family member there, but some could tell she was one of the ones that was taking this the hardest. The color had disappeared from her eyes and face and she hardly said anything.
The other two people who was greatly affected by this, were Ayame and Hatsuharu. Ayame was Yuki's older brother who looked nothing like Yuki. Yuki had short purple hair and violet eyes, and Ayame had long silver hair and yellow eyes. Ayame and Yuki never got too close due to the fact that they never really saw eachother that much and had almost nothing in common. But today, Ayame was wishing they had become closer. For the first time in a long time, Ayame was brought to tears. And they were sincere tears.
Hatsuharu was a tall boy with short silver and black spiky hair and black eyes. He loved Yuki. Yes, this was little strange, but Yuki was the only one who gave him comfort when he was younger. But he cared for Yuki so much, and swore revenge on whoever did this to him.
When the funeral was over, only Kyo, Shigure, and Tohru stayed after everyone left. Kyo and Shigure really didn't want to stay any longer, but Tohru just stood staring at the spot where Yuki had been buried. She just couldn't believe it...now, she would never...never see him again, or hear his voice. She would never go with him to the secret base (Where Yuki kept his fruits and vegetable garden) and she would never hear him address her by "Miss Honda" ever again. She felt so lost...
She suddenly felt an arm around her and saw Kyo looking at her sadly. She was turned around by him and led to the car where Shigure was waiting. She took one last look at Yuki's grave before finally breaking down into tears that she had kept held back for so long.

Days had passed since the burial of Yuki Sohma, but things had gotten no better. The house seemed to be abandoned since no one had even made a sound. Tohru still worked around the house, but she found no joy in her work anymore. Shigure was unable to write his novel more than ever, and Kyo spent all his time on the roof of the house, never coming down. He didn't even come down to eat, which made Shigure worried.
Tohru would venture down to the secret base once in a while, but noticed that Yuki's plants were dying. That only made her more depressed. Her friends at school noticed her depression too. But who could blame her? First her mother dies, and then her best friend that some suspected of being more than just a friend to her, Yuki. Not only that, but almost all the girls in school were sinking in their grades and becoming depressed as well, for their prince was gone.

"Tohru? Oh Tohru?"
Shigure wandered down the empty halls of the house, trying to find Tohru everywhere. He found her sitting on her bed in her room, staring into the abyss. Shigure couldn't take it, seeing her like this. His face saddened and he walked over to her bed and sat next to her. He said nothing for a long time.
"...Tohru...."
Tohru didn't even blink. He sadly continued.
"Tohru listen...I know that...that losing someone you love dearly hurts...and you know that all too well. But...but what do you think...what do you think Yuki would say if he saw you like this?"
Tohru lifted her head a bit, but still said nothing. Shigure lost it completely at seeing her sadness and grabbed her shoulders. He shook her lightly and raised his voice a bit.
"LISTEN TOHRU. Yuki is gone! There's no changing that! But there's no way that I'm going to let you sit here, in my house, everyday with no happiness in your heart! I want you to be cheerful and lively again! When you don't smile, it's easy to get depressed. When you came into our lives, it seemed as if some of the weight we Sohma's bore was lifted because you made us happy, and you asked for nothing in return! We need you Tohru! We need you to be happy again! Without your cheerful attitude and high spirits...Yuki would probably have run away..."
Some color came back to Tohru's aqua blue eyes as she listened.
"Yuki was...he was so fed up with everything...he just wanted to run away from it all. But...but you were there Tohru...when you came, he changed. He began to see the good inside of him, and that's what you do. You make us all feel like we have a purpose and we shouldn't just wallow in our own self pity because we're cursed! Tohru...please...smile for us again..."
Tohru blinked a few times, and slowly turned her head to look at Shigure. He eyes widened in realization and she began to see how much pain she was causing, just because she wouldn't move on. Shigure was right. Yuki would have probably been so disappointed in her for acting this way.
Tohru slowly smiled and tears formed in her eyes. Without thinking, she jumped on Shigure, and he vanished in a puff of smoke. She opened her eyes and jumped when she saw Shigures clothes on the floor, and a dog sitting in his place. She sighed and started to gather up his clothes.
"I'm so sorry Shigure..."
The dog shook his head.
"It's ok Tohru, you were just so happy and you weren't thinking that..."
"No no...I mean, I'm sorry I was such a pest...and I had you and Kyo worrying about me and everything. I should have at least tried to take some responsibility like an adult, but instead, I acted like a helpless child. I know that Yuki meant just as much to you as he did to me, and I should have tried to at least do what he would have wanted. I'm sorry..."
Shigure put his paw (XD) on Tohru's leg and sighed.
"Tohru, you've given us so much, that you don't need to apologize. If Yuki were here right now, he would be happy too. Let's hope he is happy where he is..."
At that moment, Shigure changed back to a human, while Tohru tried to shield her eyes from his naked form. Shigure got up and walked to his room to find some more clothes.
Kyo watched from the window at Tohru's happiness coming back, but that didn't help him too much. He didn't understand why he was so lifeless without that rat around. He hated him right? Or...did he consider him to actually be...a friend?
Kyo's thoughts were interrupted when he thought he saw something move from behind some tree's on the hill overlooking their house. He almost got up, but shrugged it off.
...Yuki was my friend....
The figure clothed in black stared at the little house below him and saw a girl come out from it. She had started to hang some clothes out to dry. The figure smirked and turned, his long cape trailing behind him as he muttered some words.
"Tohru Honda...I will make you pay..."
