Leaves danced as the wind sang to the chorus of a cold night air. Shadows swooned, hiding from light as one crept into the second floor window. The frost kissed the cheeks of the one who lay in a restless sleep as the window slid open. The shadow hastily closed the window as he crept closer to the bed. Softly whispering the girls name as she turned from side to side.

"Tohru." he spoke again, this time a soft yawn escaping her lips before they were covered with his, his tongue seeking entrance.

The girls eyes grew wide, trying to pull away to scream but he pulled her into a tight embrace so she couldn't escape. This was a mistake for she had smacked him across the face so he fell ass first on the hard wood floor.

"Back off I have a bat." she threatened as she reached for the baseball bat beside her bed now standing up looking like a blinded fool.

"Your appearance is the bigger threat at this point." he snickered in a soft whisper.

Once the girl's blurry vision cleared she looked at the boy on the ground clearly. He had bright orange hair with a smile that reached his gold eyes. He had on a pair of black pants and a tee shirt to match.

"Kyo, you know how much that fuckin' scares me." she sighed as she dropped the bat back in its place and then sat down on the floor next to him. "And what do you mean my appearance is your bigger threat?" she asked her face forming into an evil scowl.

laughter was his only answer.

"Why did you come. . ." she whined reaching for her clock. "At three in the morning?" she asked placing it back up on her makeshift night stand that happened to be a box.

"I had to see you." he said turning his head to the side, trying his best to ignore the empty room occupied with only a bed and roughly ten to twenty boxes.

"It's not like I have a choice." she spoke in a soft whisper.

"But you do, you. . .you can. . .live with me." he said with wishful thinking.

". . .as much as I want to I can't. . ." she said now it was her turn to look away.

"Then take me with you." he begged now moving closer and closer as she leaned back laying on the floor her hair fanning out behind her his form now hovering on top of her.

She giggled slightly. "My grandfather would never have it." she gave off a sad smile before leaning up to kiss him. She reached up and wrapped her arms around his neck rolling him over so now she was on top, running her fingers through his hair not once breaking the kiss all the while their tongues battling for domains.

She pulled away and looked sadly into his eyes searching for comfort in the depths of the gold pools. "Neither would Akito." she averted her gaze and then rested her head on his chest listening to the soft rhythm of his heart beat.

"Fuck all those who stand in our way." he scoffed sitting up so that she was sitting on his lap. He embraced her tightly and rested his chin upon her head.

"I don't want this relationship to end." she sobbed as silent tears rained from her eyes, burring her face in his strong molded chest.

"It doesn't have to." he smiled as he gently caressed her face so that she was looking him in the eye. "I won't let it." he spoke so only she could hear as he leaned down and kissed her tears away. Smiling she trapped his lips within her own as they both were lost in the heat of the moment.

Tohru moaned softly while Kyo lifted her from the floor as they both collapsed on her bed.

His hands snaked under her loose shirt and traveled up.

Tohru giggled as she pulled away. "Your hands are so cold." she smiled not wanting to break their kiss.

He growled playfully as he pulled her closer in a tight embrace just sitting there savoring their every moment.

"I want this to last forever." Tohru's happiness depleted as she slightly pulled away to look into his eyes.

"Everything's going to turn out okay I promise." he smiled leaning down to kiss her neck tenderly but soon pulled away as he sensed someone coming.

"What?" Tohru asked her sense becoming alert as well.

"Listen." was all he said, his arms still wrapped protectively around her waist withherback pressing up against his chest.

The soft click of the hall light switch and the illumination from the light was visible from the slit under the door.

Tohru gasped as she pushed away from his grasp. "You have to go." her heart quickened as she heard the sound of faint footsteps slowly make a pattern up the stairs.

"No." he spoke stubbornly pulling her back into a warm embrace.

"Kyo not now." she glared up at him as the footsteps came closer.

"Promise me one thing." he said as he was being pushed back out the window and was now sitting on the branch on the outside tree.

But Tohru had no time to respond because the door to her room flung open. She gave Kyo a pleading look, he returning the sad gaze before disappearing back into the night.

"Tohru-kun I can't sleep." a soft voice spoke.

"What's wrong Momiji?" she asked softly. "Another bad dream?"

he nodded tears stroking his cheeks as he clung to her leg protectively. "Can I sleep with you tonight?" he asked looking up at her hopefully.

"Come on. . .we have a big day tomorrow." she said walking over to the bed with him trailing behind.

"Tohru and Momiji go to big city?"

"Yes Tohru-kun and Momiji go to big city tomorrow." she said smiling at the boys excitement as she tucked him in. "Now go to sleep."

She stole a glance at her window for no one was there.

"Tohru sad?"

"No Momiji, just tired." she sighed as she slid under the covers as well her back towards the window.

"What bout Kyo-Kun?"

but Tohru didn't answer she couldn't find a good enough one.

"Momiji make things better, I promise." he smiled holding his foster sister in a tight embrace.

"What would I do without you Momiji?" Tohru faked a smile as she stroked the small boys hair, silent tears falling from her eyes. "What would I do without you. . ."

The heartbroken boy watched from afar kicking himself mentally for not being able to wipe those tears away. He was soon gone with the sounds of the wind and left to hide in the shadows, stumbling his way back to the place he is forced to call "Home."

He quietly slipped through the crack in the sliding door and tip toed to his room trying his best to avoid the loose floor boards.

He rested his hand against the door knob and turned to his right. He took one step into his room but felt a hand on his shoulder pull him back.

"Where were you?" a cold voice asked.

"I went for a walk."

"You lie you were at that. . .that slut's house weren't you."

Kyo balled his hands into fists taking a quick turn to strike the man across the face with his foot keeping perfect pose. "She is not a slut you bastard." Kyo growled as he made his way back into his room slamming the door behind him.

The man in the corner popped his jaw back into place spitting out a small amount of blood. He smirked chuckling to himself as he locked the room from the outside, sliding the key into his pocket before retreating to his own room.

Tohru had no sleep for the remainder of the night.

She was up at dawn, but let Momiji sleep.

She slipped out of her pajamas and then pulled on a pair of loose jeans and a tight black tank top. She started picking up her boxed items and brought them downstairs by the door bringing down about three at a time.

Once she was done she sauntered into the kitchen and poured herself a black cup of coffee.

"Well good morning Tohru-Kun." an old man smiled as he made himself a cup of tea. "Big day." was all he said as he took out the morning paper and read the classified section.

Tohru didn't say anything as she walked out of the kitchen and back up to her room to wake Momiji.

Kyo rolled over and found himself still in darkness once he opened his eyes. He lazily looked over at the clock and grew tense. It read eleven thirty, Tohru was leaving at twelve.

He jumped out of bed and threw on a pair of faded jeans and a black tee shirt before lunging for the door to find it locked and unbreakable. "DAMN YOU AKITO!!!!!!!!!" Kyo roared as he then ran over to his window finding it nailed shut. "LET ME OUT YOU BASTARD."

"Bad little boys who don't listen need to be punished." Akito voiced from the other side of the door, venom dripping from his words as he laughed viciously.

"No." Kyo growled. "Not this time, your not gunna WIN." Kyo countered as he rammed into the door but had just as much luck as before.

"There's no game little Kyon I already won." Akito smiled before leaving the boy to wallow in his misery.

For a good while Kyo had tried his hardest to break from the box he was trapped in but found it inevitable. Once this reality struck him, depression pierce his heart, he would never get to say goodbye to Tohru. . .this thought scared him would he ever see her again? He crawled into a fetal position in the smallest corner of his room. ". . .Please let me out. . ." he pleaded. "Please. . .I have. . .to say goodbye." were his words as tears struck his eyes.

"Here Tohru Kun why don't you drive the car and I'll drive the van." her grandfather offered as he handed her the keys.

"Huh?. . .oh sure." she said all life drained, as she finished loading the last of her boxes.

"Tohru, its for. . ."

"The best grandpa I know." she finished giving him a false smile.

"At a girl. Well when your ready give a holler." he said now smiling back at her.

"Give me a few seconds." Tohru sighed running back into the house and up to her room. She leaned on the window sill and looked out at the blue sky that hung above.

She watched as two birds flew by together with the wind as a soft breeze flew by playing with her hair and lightly tugging at her clothes.

Tears stained her cheeks as she remembered the night before. "Why couldn't it last?" she asked herself mentally as she wiped her tears away mentally scolding herself. As she was about to go close her window something gold caught her eye.

Making her way out on the branch as she leaned over and grabbed the gold chain that used to hang from Kyo's neck. She held it in her hands and then placed it in her pocket before making her way back into her room were she went over and sat in the smallest corner, bringing her knees up to her chest, silently crying away her emotions.

Kyo's head sprang up to the soft click of a lock and then the small opening of the door. Taking this as his easy break, he quickly sprinted out the door down the hall and completely out of the house.

He ran as fast as he could down the now busy streets, dodging people here and there on the sidewalk as his feet ran as fast as his heart raced.

He had to get there. . .he just had to get there in time to say goodbye.

Tohru opened the door of her car sliding into the seat. She checked her review mirror and found nothing there as she backed out of the drive way.

Kyo was quickly running out of breath but he couldn't stop, he had to make it.

she paused for a quick second and checked her review mirror one more time hoping that someone would show up. . .someone im particular.

"Why didn't he come to say goodbye?" she thought as tears choked her.

He rounded the corner and saw her car pull away far off in the distance.

He collapsed to his knees panting hard for he couldn't keep his breathing even.

"I have to keep going." he thought.

Yet finding no one there she promised herself no more looking back. . .no matter what.

"You ready Momiji?" Tohru asked to the boy who sat in the back smothered by boxes on each side.

He gave an excited nod.

Smiling back, Tohru convinced herself it was for the best if Kyo didn't come. This made her smile fade as she perused her destination to the big city.

"Tohru-Kun look, Kyo-Kun is trying to run as fast as the car." Momiji laughed.

Tohru slammed on the breaks,only to haveKyo crash into the back window of the car, it was a miracle that he didn't fly right through.

"Momiji stay in the car." Tohru said as she quickly unbuckled herself and flung her car door open.

Kyo seeing the car come to a quick stop ran right into it.

"That hurt." he cringed as his face was plastered up against the back window of her car.

Momiji stared pointing and laughing at Kyo's stupid expression.

Slowly his body rolled off the car and onto the ground with a painful thud.

He groaned as he tried to get up but found it easier to just lay there while he regained a normal vision.

"are you okay?" Tohru asked as she gently picked up his head and laid it in her lap.

"I'm fine." he said looking up at her, searching her eyes for any comforting light, but only found sadness.

"I thought you weren't coming." she spoke softly as she stroked his orange hair trying to memorize every feature of his face.

"Even Akito couldn't stop me, he tried but failed." he smiled as he closed his eyes as she leaned closer towards her stomach.

She laid down beside him so that their heads were side by side.

"Promise me something." he said into her ear.

"Hmm and what is that?" she asked as she turned her head to the side so she was facing him.

He leaned over and gave her a chaste kiss. "That we'll always be together." he said planting another innocent peck on her lips.

The sounds of agitated car horns could be heard from both sides of the street.

"I promise." she smiled as she helped him stand. "Oh and this is yours." she said as she reached into her deep pocket pulling out his gold chain.

"Keep it." he offered as he closed her hand holding it in his. "Along with this." he said as he pulled out a small gold ring. On the band it read ". . .You and Me Together. . ." in gold cursive lettering

Tohru's voice was caught in her throat and all she could do was hug him in response. "Always and Forever. . ." she spoke as she looked up at him her eyes now baring a melted chocolate brown.

He held her tightly before leaning down to kiss her one last time, how long did that kiss last no one knows but their emotions poured out and were stuck in between. Tohru yet again in silent tears as Kyo lifted a hand and caressed her cheek, wiping away the tears with his thumbs.

Tohru was the first to pull away. ". . .goodbye Kyo. . ." she dropped her head and hugged him one last time as she tried to walk back to her car.

". . .no. . ." he said not letting go of her wrist. "You can't leave."

"I don't have a. . ." but she couldn't finish since he pulled her back into a wanting kiss.

He pulled away and left her speechless as he searched her eyes. "Tell me that's not reason enough to stay."

"I'm sorry I have to go." she couldn't look him in the eye as she walked back into her car. Pulling away slowly not once looking back. Leaving Kyo in the kicked up dust from her wheels.
