"Kyou?" Tohru passed out. 'I'm so sorry Tohru, I never meant to make you feel this way, feel so, unimportant.' Thought Kyou. It was the truth, Tohru was possibly the most important thing in his life, Tohru meant a lot to him, everything in fact, he knew in his heart, that, "I love her." He picked her up and set her on her bed once more. 'Déjà vu'. He laid her down and sat beside her and listened to the rain, no matter how bad the weather made him feel, it also had an opposite, soothing effect. He laid back his head rested on his folded arms behind him; he turned and looked at Tohru. He shut his eyes.
"Hello Hatori, Haru."
"Good evening Shigure, I apologize for being so late, the flooding on the Sohma estate has become worse, and I as I regret to say, Hatsuharu and I may need to stay until it fades."
"How could you possibly forget me Hari!?" Ayame Shouted
"Aya!"
"Gure!"
"Ugh." Yuki groaned as he walked into the den and saw the grown men clinging to each other.
"Little brother!" Ayame flung himself at Yuki. Luckily he dodged this and ran back up to his room.
"I don't understand, why does he not love me?" Ayame cried.
"Don't worry Aya, we still love you." Shigure grabbed Ayame and Hatori by the neck. "Yes, getting back to business, may I check on Kyou."
Hatori, Ayame and Shigure walked up to Kyou's room almost passing Tohru's if Hatori hadn't noticed the scene inside. Kyou had been curled up against Tohru, her hand entangled in his, draped across her stomach.
"Ah, young lovers!" Ayame shouted. Kyou and Tohru immediately snapped awake, bumping heads. "Kyou?" Tohru said.
"WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA!?" Kyou yelled. "Don't be ashamed Kyou, it's very understandable, you're in, love, it's a very beautiful thing you know!" Ayame said slyly.
"Is something wrong?" Yuki skidded into the room nearly slipping Haru right behind him.
"EVERYTHING!" Kyou yelled shoving Yuki and Haru out of the way
and storming out of the house.
"Kyou, stop, you'll get sick again!" Tohru got up to run after him, but Yuki stopped her. "I'll go." "Thank you Sohma-kun." She said, her eyes filling with tears.
"I'm sure Yuki will bring him back unharmed Miss Honda." Hari said flatly. "In the mean time, get some rest."
The three men walked down stairs and into Shigure's office. "I do believe we have a problem gentlemen." Shigure said pulling out a bottle of sake and pouring each of them a glass. "Indeed." Hatori replied.
Yuki walked through the thick woods surrounding the house, keeping his eyes peeled for any signs of the cat. He finally spotted him sitting under a tree. "I assumed you would be on the roof, but I find you here." Yuki said.
"Leave me alone rat boy, I'm not in the mood." Kyou said, his head hanging in the rain.
"She's worried about you."
"I don't care."
"You're a terrible liar."
"You callin' me a liar rat boy!" Kyou jumped up ready to fight. "So you aren't, you really don't care about how she feels for you." Yuki stared at Kyou.
"She doesn't care about me...I'm the cat, the demon, the outcast."
"She doesn't see those things, are you that stupid. She doesn't see our curse, and she doesn't hate us or you, she loves you, you stupid cat." "..." Kyou didn't speak, he couldn't, because he knew these things were true.
"And what about you..." Kyou said...almost inaudibly
"I can't control Miss Honda's feelings, she loves you, not me, and right now, she's worried sick about you." Kyou looked up at him with tears in his eyes.
"You tell anyone about this and you're dead rat boy."
