Ichigo12 - wow. i didn't even noticed until you mentioned it. opps! my mistake, too lazy to go back and change it, please just ignore it.

YukiXKyo - thanks for waiting for my story! really nice of you.

I'm hoping i can get a new chapter out every two weeks from now on, but sometimes life gets hectic, so I can't say for sure.

Today - October 24, 2004 - My cable has gone crazy, so right now I'm posting this chapter at my friend's house. Must say that the release of the next chapter might take a while... well... at least until I get my internet fixed. SORRY! (I had to post this up really quickly so my friend won't notice I was doing this instead of my hw - which was the reason my parents let me go there. So sorry if there's like a lot of spelling and grammar errors, didn't have the time to check. )

Please ENJOY! But I guess I can say that this chapter is kind of short. SORRY! I'll try to make the next chapter longer but probably not much, I prefer writing short chapters at a time, and I have no idea why. Just to let thoses that wanted the R-rated version lemon (side-story) must wait because just writing these regular chapters up are going to take me a lot of time.


Chapter 15

For a moment, as the spoken words linger in the room, there was complete silence... at least until a screaming loud "WHAT?!" can be heard all throughout the hospital.

Yuki just sat still, slightly shocked by their reaction.

"What's wrong, guys? I mean... it is that weird that I don't remember him? He doesn't even look familiar to me. Anyways... Hatori, can you explain to me how my condition is right now?"

Another piercing "WHAT?!" filled the room.

Finally, Shigure speaks up and hopefully asked:

"Yuki, you remember us?"

"Yeah, of course I do, why wouldn't I? You are all my family and friends, the most important people to me, how could I forget you guys? But can you please introduce to the boy standing to the right of me?"

Wide eyes stared back at Yuki, all confused by what Yuki just said.

Tohru gently questions Yuki, "umm... Sohma-kun, are you sure you're ok? Didn't' you just say you remember us all... then why are you asking us to introduce you to Kyou-kun?

"Kyou-kun?... is that his name? I don't remember ever hearing that name before."

Finally Yuki's condition was clear to everyone, especially Kyou.

With all their eyes cast down, staring at the floor, so none of them would have to see the look of sorrow that is surely to fill Kyou's face.

But when they finally looked up, the sight shocked them.

The tragic, heart-breaking look on Kyou's face almost brought tears to their eyes.

From this, they could clearly see how deep Kyou's feelings for Yuki really are.

Seeing that look on Kyou's face, Yuki, feeling guilty, said, "Are you ok? I'm really sorry, I'm expecting from your expressions that ... umm...you... Kyou-kun, right?... is someone I know well, I feel really bad about it though I really can't remember you at all."

Quickly covering his aching sorrow with a look of light-heartedness, Kyou clearly lying, says, "It's ok," making an effort to fake a quivering smile to reinsure Yuki, "like the Dr. Takahashi said, you probably forget unimportant things... I guess that includes people too. At least now I know I didn't really mean much to you..."

Trying with all his might, Kyou kept his overwhelming tears in, well... at least until he ran out of the hospital room, unable to take anymore of this suffering, seeing Yuki look at him with a lack of warmth in his eyes and smile.

Outside the hospital...

Not noticing anything around him, not the people or the pouring rain, Kyou, kneed down with his back against the wall of the hospital, pours out everything he was keeping inside of him since Yuki woke up.

His heart-preicing sobs attrached sympathic attention from people. Kyou did not take notice of it, overflowing tears of his mixed with the pouring rain, until it couldn't be told if the wet moisure on his face was tears or just rain.

After finally getting control over his sobs, Kyou slowly stood up on his weak legs and slowly began to walk, not really knowing where he wants to go or where he going to end up at. Just wanted to do something to keep his mind off some of his sorrow.

With a small amount of walking, Kyou looks up and realizes he ended up at a beautiful park. Kyou gently sat down on the benches near by. Kyou just sat for who knows how long, finally calm enough with his emotions to really reflect and think about the events of that day.

Back in the hospital...
