"Hmmm..." Tohru sighed as she sleepily stirred the dumplings for dinner, "What a day...I hope Sohma-kun and Kyo-kun are up for dinner..." To her joy, only moments later she could hear three hungry men gathering around the table in the next room, followed by a grumpy voice. "When is it gonna be ready? I'm starving!" Kyo yelled.

The onigiri gave a little sweat drop when she heard a crash. "Shut up you ungrateful cat." To prevent further injury, she decided to quicken her pace. "It'll be done in a minute. Hang on..."

She smiled and started the finishing touches of the meal but stopped dead in her tracks and dropped her spoon. "Sohma-kun.......he hung himself..." She dropped to the ground to pick up her utensil but couldn't find it in her to pick herself back up off the floor where tears filled her eyes and began to fall uncontrollably.

"Miss Honda?! Are you ok?!" Yuki asked, rushing in through the door to the kitchen and worriedly helping the girl up, "I heard you fall...what's wrong?!" He had seen her eyes and was now in a panic. "Soh....ma...kun.....hung himself..........because...........of me!" she finally burst out and started to kneel back down only to be caught by Yuki with a swift POOF.

"I'm sooooo sorry...." The onigiri sobbed out hysterically, "Everything is my fault.....I...don't deserve any of this..." The little white mouse crawled up onto her lap with tears in his eyes. "It's not your fault Miss Honda....I'm sor...." But before her could finish his apology, Tohru got up and ran to past him and out the door.

POOF

Yuki walked back out of the kitchen slowly with his head down but could feel two pair of confused eyes and one pair that were VERY angry as well. "What the hell did you do?!" Kyo screamed, slamming himself away from the table. "She...figured out about.....the other night....." Yuki whispered. CRACK. A fist had landed into the right eye of the Sohma, knocking him to the floor. "You deserve nothing you bastard..." Kyo growled and took off for Tohru's room.

"Uh...so...what did I miss?" Shigure asked, hands clasped together with an expectant look on his face.

Kyo rushed up the stairs and entered the girl's room where he found her exactly like he thought she would; face buried in the pillow and shaking very roughly. Gently as he could, the neko sat down beside her on the bed." Hey...I know why you are crying....it's ok....everything's alright, ok?" Tohru's choppy breathing calmed slightly and she looked up at Kyo.

"I could have stopped him....it's my entire fault..." Not knowing anything else to do, Kyo grabbed the girl, squeezing her tightly to his chest. POOF. "It's not...he's the dumbass...stop blaming yourself for everything!" the little orange cat said with a hint of anger, gazing up at her intensely.

"Um, may I join in on the conversation?" Yuki asked quietly from the door. "Hell no! Go away you damn rat!" Kyo hissed. "No, I want Sohma-kun to talk too...I want to apologize..." Tohru whispered. Yuki reached an arm out towards her. "You have nothing to apologize for Miss Honda. Kyo was right for once, it was my fault...please forgive me..."

After looked at Yuki and the little orange cat who was Kyo back and forth several times, Tohru sighed and nodded her head. "You all are both so wonderful to me....but...I make you unhappy...." "Shut up. Won't you listen to yourself goofy? The only reason I'm even here is because of you..." Kyo admitted. "Yes Miss Honda, you have made us both happy..." Yuki smiled gently. POOF. yo transormed back and quickly replaced all his clothing to ease Tohru's momentary embarrassment.

Her head began to swim. "I'm so horrible...Who would....make.....a friend be....pushed....that...far." Her head then dipped down onto Kyo's shoulder, unconscious. "Wha?! You're sick again?! Look up at me! Tohru wake up, everything is ok! You don't have to get worked up like this! Aw hell...." He laid his forehead on the top of hers and gently grabbed the back of her head, pushing her backwards a little until she was comfortably laying down with her head on her pillow.

"This is my fault..." someone long forgotten by the neko whispered. He whipped his head around in fury. "Don't get started again you damn rat! That's what caused this in the first place! Go tell Shigure to call Hatori..."

The front door creaked open as Hatori let himself in. "Ah Ha'ri, there you are! Wow, you were quick this time!" Shigure greeted with a little wave, "Tohru is upstairs in her room and I'm sure Yuki is close by when you're done with her..." Hatori nodded, but before he made one move a cute, dark headed girl sprang out from behind him, kitty purse flying in the wind, "Oh yes, Kagura was very worried. I'm just glad Momiji isn't here this time..."

Once up the stairs, Kagura walked slowly to her friend's room and peeked around the door to make sure she wasn't bothering anyone. Tears began to form in her now huge eyes and she felt like she was going to fall over when she saw exactly WHO she was bothering. Tohru was now under her blanket and asleep on the bed with a very worried Kyo curled up beside her, entwining their hands together.

Instead of beating the crap out of her cheating 'fianc', she just ran back to the hall and curled up on the floor. It was then that she noticed Yuki was in the hallway as well, curled up in the same fashion she was. Hatori passed by, only glancing at the two and grunting. He had a pretty good idea of what he would see in the room.

Without even waking Tohru up, he pulled out the needle for her and rubbed a place to stick it, all the while being watched by a very protective cat. He gently stuck her and pulled the needle back out, making her stir only slightly. "That should do it. Tell Tohru when she wakes up to give me a call and tell me how she's doing." He ordered, looking at the only other awake one in the room. Kyo nodded.

He left the room and returned to the hallway where he easily found Yuki and beckoned him to his own room. "I understand you....hung yourself the other night..." Hatori finally asked. The mouse looked down at his lap for an answer. "Do you understand how bad that is especially considering your asthma? I have to take a look at it. If it's bad enough I will also be forced to insist you return to the main house."

Yuki looked up at what his doctor and cousin were saying with horror. "No...please...." Hatori looked down into his bag, pulling out a stick to hold Yuki's tongue down. 'Akito's plan is going as he wanted...he would be happy...' Hatori pondered one last time before checking up on what could change Yuki's life.

"Oh Hana-chan, Ou-chan...you all didn't have to come visit me! I'm making too much trouble..." Tohru blushed, seeing her friends enter her room. "Eh, it's no problem. You weren't at school today so we came to see if you were ok....how ya doin?" Uo smiled, hugging her friend tightly. "Yes...I sense your feelings of guilt...what happened?" Hana asked darkly, sitting down on the other side of the bed and grasping Tohru's hands.

"Hana....I need to ask you something..." Tohru said, gazing at the entangled hands. "I'll......leave you all alone...k?" Uo guessed and got up, walking out of the room mumbling something about snacks.

"Hana-chan....would you be Yuki's...uh...help him out and talk to him and stuff....I'm asking you because of...well...your power...if you don't want to it's ok!" Hana smiled at her friend. "Of course I'll do it. I'm your friends and I will help you no matter what." The onigiri smiled peacefully at her friend. "Thank you so much..."

Uo shifted through the different random food items in the fridge with no luck, so she just grabbed a bottled water, closed the fridge, and started twisting open the cap. Then she noticed Kyo for the first time at the , but this didn't make a difference to her. Her best friend was sick and she knew it was from stress.

"Hey, are you stressing poor Tohru out?" she asked, eyeing him angrily, "If you are you better rethink everything. She was fine before...it seems pretty selfish to me..." Kyo began to tremble, or so Uo thought until he spun around knocking the whole pot of soup off the eye and into the floor. "God damn it! Now look what you made me....." He didn't even bother finish his sentence. Instead he just knelt down and started picking up his mess.

It was then that Uo noticed the smell of the food. "Hey, I thought you hated leeks..." Uo inquired, kneeling down beside him to help. "I do...I was fixing it for...Tohru.........So I'm selfish huh........maybe you're right...." The neko turned away from her and ran out the door so that she couldn't see the tears forming in his eyes.

Uo stayed knelt down in the floor dumbfounded, holding the ruined pot of soup, and sighed heavily. "He...was making this for her....? Maybe I was wrong....Oh God...."

Well, thats the end of this chappie! If you think it was a little slow I'm sorry but it's setting up for latter chapters! Oh, and I may not get the days of the week right all the time, like it may be a weekend every other day...I have a hard time keeping up with it...sorry, plus some things need to happen at home and at school and I don't want to waste you're time with meaningless crap to pass the days along. I'll just skip to the day needed! Kind of like the manga and anime itself! Oh, and Tohru was in the middle of cooking when it just hit her exactly WHAT Yuki had done if there was any confusion there.
