When Kyo awoke, it was past noon. Pushing himself into a sitting position, he covered his face with one hand and braced himself against the roof with the other.
"I dreamed...I had a dream that Tohru was still alive and everything was okay..." he sad to himself, closing his eyes. He sat there for several moments, trying to hold the image of Tohru in his mind, when a kitchen timer went off. Kyo's hand dropped and his eyes widened in an instant.
"Yuki doesn't cook and Shigure always orders out...c-could it be?..." Kyo's heart beat wildly in his chest as he jumped down from the roof and burst into the kitchen. His breath caught in his throat upon seeing the figure of a girl cooking.
"Tohru..." he whispered, her image beginning to swim in his vision. She turned around and he could barely make out her face, but he knew it had to be her...he just knew it.
---------------
"Tohru..."
Kagura set the hot dish down and turned around in confusion upon hearing the dead girl's name. Kyo stood there in the doorway, his clothing damp and disheveled from spending the night on the roof. His eyes were wide and glassy, filled with unshed tears.
"K-Kyo?" Kagura stammered, unsure of what he'd said. Kyo staggered towards her and she backed herself into the fridge.
"Tohru..." he mumbled again, reaching out for her with open arms. Kagura's eyes began to fill with tears.
"Kyo, Tohru's dead...it's me Kagura!" she cried, starting to sob as Kyo took her into a tight embrace, calling her "Tohru" repeatedly. That was how Shigure found them ten minutes later when he finally awoke and came downstairs.
"Kyo, Kagura!" the inu cried in alarm, rushing over. He quickly pulled the two apart then crushed Kagura to his chest as she cried harder. Kyo stumbled back, hitting the wall, and then fell forward slightly.
"Shi...gure....?" He murmured and it was then the inu noticed how pale his cousin was.
"Kyo, you didn't stay on the roof all night did you? Please tell me you didn't!" Shigure pleaded in a low voice. Kagura pulled back and said something, but whatever it was it fell on Kyo's deaf ears. Suddenly he felt tired and his eyes closed, meant only for a second, but then he was falling.
"Kyo!!" Shigure gasped and Kagura screamed as he threw himself under the red-head and caught him. Grunting under the dead weight, the inu struggled to sit up and was disturbed by the heat radiation off of Kyo's flushed face.
"Kagura, call Hatori at once," he said quickly, taking Kyo upstairs. Kagura nodded weakly and grabbed the phone, dialing Hatori's office at the main house.
"Moshi moshi," came a deep voice on the other hand.
"H-Hatori-san?" Kagura's voice wobbled. There was a brief pause.
"Kagura, is that you? What's wrong?"
"Oh Hatori-san! Kagura broke down into tears. "K-Kyo was calling me Tohru a- and then he fainted so Shi-chan told me to call you and I did and--"
"I'm coming over." Hatori hung up abruptly and Kagura sank to the floor in a fetal position, sobbing quietly.
-----------------
"Will he be okay Ha'ri?"
"He's in shock, he just needs lots of rest."
"Poor Kyo...it must've sank in after the funeral, did you see the way he ran off?"
"How is Yuki?"
"I don't know, he hasn't spoken to any of us and he seems paler than normal."
"I'll go check on him, stay with Kagura."
Yuki laid in bed, burrowed beneath the many blankets as Hatori and Shigure spoke. When the family doctor began to enter his room however, he sank deeper into the blankets and squeezed his eyes shut.
"Yuki, are you awake?" Hatori's voice was monotone, yet gentle, but Yuki made no attempt to move or speak. He started when Hatori's hand snaked under the blanket and touched itself to his cheeks.
"Hn, you have a fever." Hatori muttered, mostly to himself, then began to grope around for Yuki's wrist. Yuki began to panic slightly about the older doctor seeing his slashed arm and wrist, so he sat up quickly and thrust his right arm at his older cousin. Hatori calmly checked the younger boy's pulse as he sat there silently.
"Damnit." Hatori's face settled into a look of disgust as he let go of Yuki.
"...Hatori...?"
"You're sick. Bed rest for the rest of the week and I'll be back to check on you."
Hatori packed his bag and started to leaved, and Yuki sat there with a blank look on his face. Suddenly, the doctor paused in the doorway.
"Yuki...I know you loved Tohru...but you can't cling to her memory..." he said quickly. Yuki felt a new rage start to rise up in his chest.
"Shut up." he growled.
"I'm serious Yuki, it's not healthy. It may not seem like it now, but things will get better and you will get over her, not forget her."
"How would you know!? You can't possibly understand!!" Yuki shouted heatedly.
"I understand better than you think," Hatori replied in an icy voice. "Or do you not remember when I lost Kana?..."
Yuki's breath caught in his throat and he stared at his cousin wide-eyed. Hatori simply turned away from him and left, slamming the door quite loudly. Yuki flinched at the banging sound then slowly laid down and closed his lids, giving in to the bittersweet memories and dreams of Tohru Honda that beckoned him.
