Kyo's Pain
Rain. The fresh smell of rain filled the Sohma house. Curled through the windows that were halfway open, curled along the halls. Rain began to patter the windows that were closed, creating perplex designs of rain droplets along the walls and windows. The grass was painted with dew, a sheet of comfort was over the house... Well...for some it was comfort.

"Dinner's ready!" Tohru's sweet voice carried through the halls of Shigure Sohma's home. Yuki walked into the kitchen, bringing in the fresh smell of Tohru's wonderful cooking into his lungs. His smooth smile flashed as he walked over by her side, "What are we having tonight?"

"Oh, meso! And I made it soup so Kyo wouldn't m..mind? Kyo?" Tohru turned from the pot on the stove, her deep sapphire eyes staring contently on Kyo's weak frame. "Kyo are you all right?"

"I'm...just not feeling well..." Kyo managed to mumble, shifting his head from the table to face away from them, "Just sort of ...drained again I guess." Kyo closed his eyes.

If Tohru had been holding that pot away from the stove, she would've dropped it on how fast she ran over to Kyo, "Are you okay? You need rest, I fix you some leek soup and uh—"

"Shut up, I'll just go to bed...f-forget the soup..." Kyo hoarsely mumbled, standing up. "Damn, I hate this feeling..." His ginger cat eyes were shadowed by locks of orange hair. He brought his left hand to his head. His brown and white beads rattled and slipped a little down from his wrist, making him cringe at having to notice it. Closing his ginger eyes, Kyo tried his hardest to make it to his room. Finally slamming the door shut, and tuning everyone out, Kyo flung himself onto his bed, burying his head into a pillow...and thick tears squeezed past his eyes and down his cheeks as he sat in the humming silence of loneliness.

"I...I sure hope Kyo'll be okay..." Tohru said, staring down into her mug of nice warm tea. Steam rose up from the brown liquid, and steam began to roll over the lip of the cup, and rose to Tohru's face, brushing her with warmth. Even though the warm feeling, she still feels a bitter coldness inside her...a bitter coldness, and worry of Kyo.

"Oh don't worry! Kyo'll be fine, it is raining so he's sort of sapped of energy right now..." Shigure Sohma said, smiling in the bright fun way he always does. Taking a sip of his tea, Shigure smiled trying to lighten the mood.

"Don't worry, Miss Honda...That stupid cat...."

'Why does he always call him stupid? Kyo has a life...he's not stupid...he's not...'

"...he's just being a bit overdramatic..."

'Stop it, Yuki...'

And Kyo continued to cry into the pillow

"...stupid...wortheless...ca—"

"STOP IT!!!" Tohru yelped. Tears rolled down her cheeks, "STOP IT, PLEASE YUKI, KYO ISN'T STUPID!! HE'S BRIGHT AND STRONG AND KIND! He may be a little hothead at times, and can seem rude...but I see right down into his heart...and it's as warm as ever...AND...he's hurt right now...for some reason, he's hurting, and you don't SEEM TO CARE ONE BIT!!" Tohru slammed her fists on the table, laying her forehead on the edge, sobbing, "please...he's hurt, and I want to help him but I can't seem to reach him..."

Kyo's eyes reflected that of Tohru's beautiful face as he heard her shout

"I WANT TO REACH KYO!!"
