Yang-chan: Zzzzz...

Ying-chan: She's asleep again! Does that woman ever go to bed on time?

Yang-chan: (turns over onto her side) Yes, I would like fires with that...

Ying-chan: Food... she's dreaming about food?! Makes sense, I think. (sweatdrop) Uh, I don't think a pillow should be munched on right? Anyway, thanks to everyone that reviewed.

Yang-chan: (drools) mmm... food...(mumbles something)

Ying-chan: Ignore her. Anyway to answer Lady Tetsu-Maru-san but this story is already written out, so PLEASE DON'T HURT ME! Yang-chan is able to take all the hits just not me! (holds up the sleeping Yang) By the way Lady Tetsu-Maru-san, and anyone else, Yang is writing her own Fruit Basket fic and needs help with naming some of the new characters so wait neh? On with the story!

Yang-chan: (still sleeping) No! Don't take him!

Girls of the fallen Rain ch.2

It has been two weeks, or one? They lost count; they lost the will to keep track of the passing days. The wave of loss still washed over them. Even after all this while. God, what was a while for them? This hell that they lived in now, it was life. But, time moves and the waters will come again.

The moon was full and shining as everyone took the trail to Shii-chan's house, where everyone gathered after visiting HER grave, they would arrive to a lonely house with no cheer and no life. She was their life.

Kyou and Hatsuharu trailed behind everyone else, lost in their own thoughts. Suddenly for a second a faint glow to Kyou's left caught his eyes, his cat instincts turned on as he followed it. Haru, taking notice of this, turned around and puzzled followed Kyou.

"What's the big idea?! We need to go to Sensei's house." Haru yelled at Kyou, but Kyou stared straight ahead, not noticing that he had yelled at him. Haru walked up to him and shouted in his ear "let's go to sensei's house!" Kyou still didn't move a limb. Finally Haru, fed up with Kyou turned to see what had caught the Neko's attention. Two teenaged girls lay half submerged in the deep river that ran across the Sohma property, their clothes were not of that area, it was like they stepped out of a history book about American Medieval times, the clothes were torn and damp as if they survived a deadly battle. There was no color in their face, only the deadly color of white. They hands were ground into the earth, that was the only thing that kept them from being swept off, and their faces were covered in thick patches of mud. Both boys just stared in shock as they took in the sight. Kyou, being the first to recover his sense, ran to the girls and put a hand to their face to see if they were both breathing.

"HELL! Their burning up!" (The time with Tohru-san had opened their hearts to others, which was a good thing.) "Haru we need to help them." Haru now snapping out of his little daze nodded, "I can transform and with a little help from you we can carry them to Sensei's house and Hatori can look at them." Haru walked to one of the girls, one with pick hair, and embraced her.(Yes, they changed so much that now they were willing to help total strangers.) Yet the normal POOF never came, there was Haru still embracing the girl. Both were taken aback from the fact that this one girl didn't affect Haru. He turned to the blur haired one and the same thing happened when he embraced her. Who were these girls as to not affect them? "What the hell?" Haru stared at the blue haired girl. Kyou at this point didn't care. "Just get her out of the water, who knows how long they've been here!" He gathered the pink haired girl into his arm like a little rag doll and ran towards the house. Haru did the same. They both raced against the little time they had before Haotri would depart from Shigure's house

Kicking the sliding door down both boys skidded into the living room. Everyone was enjoying a nice cup of tea, courtesy of Ayame, when they came in. Everyone dropped their cups in surprise, their eyes widen. "Hatori...Hatori.." Kyou panted. "Hatori, these girls," breathed Haru, "they need you medical help. We found them in the river, it looks like they were swept off and ended up here." Both boys fell to their knees; the girls slumped back in their arms. Hatori stood up calmly and walked to the two boys. He kneeled down to check the girls; he too pulled his hand back at the intensity of their fevers. "Shigure!" He turned around, "Grab some blankets, and get cool water. See if you can also find some of Tohru's clothes, we need to get them out of these wet clothes. Everyone else set up the guest room for these two girls, NOW!" Still surprised by these tow girls, everyone scrambled about getting ready to let these girls live.

"They're in bad shape. They must have been struggling between life and death for about a week. We'll need to bring down their fever, after that it's their fight." Hatori slid the door shut behind him as he let out a sigh. To have some one else's death on their mind would only break them beyond repair. All pairs of eyes were upon the door. These girls, who were they and where did they come from?

Kyou let out a sigh and stood up, "We'll probably need to keep an eye on them the whole night right? I'll take the first hour."

"I will to! I'll help you Kyou-kun!" Kagura clung to Kyou's arm. "I'll keep you company."

"Stop it!"

"What did you mean stop it!?" Kagura hit Kyou sending him across the room.

"Settle down, we'll never help them if we argue." Hatori gave them a warning look, "Leave the door open incase they wake up, I want to check them if they do.

"I'll take the next hour." Haru added.

"Me after Haru" Momiji raised his hand. So all the hours were taken care of.

"I have a question; will they be okay if they make it through the night?" Momiji peered into the room that held the girls.

"I can only hope they do. Sometimes, not matter if they make it through a night, some people will never wake up." Hatori looked out the window as he said this.

The night was a long one. They all took turns cooling their fever. The girls would toss slightly, as if they dreamed a nightmare that they wished would vanish. Slowly, the fever came down and one by one the Sohmas were falling asleep, dreaming of the first time they met Tohru and how the girls reminded them of her. It was only Kyou and Haru, the rescuers, that stayed up, but no matter the kind of training you do or how strong you are, sleep will always come for you like death. Sleep did come for them, as the sky lightened outside all the Sohmas had but just wish they wanted, for the girls to live. Hopefully, death would not come claim these two weak, sleeping figures. And hopefully they would have a peace at last. Please don't die on us, live, because you have all the right to.

Ying-chan: (yawn) watching Yang sleep and mentioning sleep in this chapter of the story... I feel sleepy...

Yang-chan: (in a daze cuz she just woke up) this episode was (yawn) brought to you by the letter Z and the word sleep.

Ying-chan: Hey, yang?

Yang-chan: What?

Ying-chan: What did you dream about (getting ready to point and laugh)

Yang-chan: Tohru's death...French fries, a bagel, orange juice, I think some ice cream... it was all (yawn) the same dream why?

Ying-chan: (sweatdrop) the same dream?
